Edward Burns on Portraying a Dedicated Cop in 'Alex Cross'

Actor and filmmaker Edward Burns comes from a family of cops, and he always relishes the opportunity to play one in a movie. In “Alex Cross,” he got to portray Detective Tommy Kane who is partner and childhood friend to Dr. Cross (played here by Tyler Perry), and the boyfriend of Detective Monica Ashe (Rachel Nichols). While at the movie’s press conference which took place at the Four Seasons…

people keep comparing the WatcherTV move to Dropout (for obvious reasons) but I cannot emphasize enough how vastly different the circumstances between the companies is. like astronomically different

• Watcher does not have the years of experience that Dropout/CollegeHumor did. CH as a company formed in 1999. They've been doing sketch comedy since the early 2000s. they were a company, like an actual company with offices and departments and everything. Watcher hasn't even existed for 5 years

• Because CH has been established for that long, not only do they have an established connection to the industry, but they have an established fan base already. People that knew about and were fans of CH for over a decade, before Dropout was even a thought in someone's head.

• When Dropout was in its infancy, CH was still under their parent company IAC, they weren't roughing it completely on their own the way that Watcher is. They were later dropped by IAC, but having that connection and funding in the vulnerable start was important

• CH was still posting sketches and skits on YouTube for free while filling out Dropout's catalog. They didn't hard shift into exclusively subscription based, they continued doing both for the first couple years in order to help get Dropout established. Even now, they still occasionally post full episodes for free on YouTube, including whole seasons of Dimension 20

• They have a large rotating cast that they move between multiple shows. They have a variety of content and a variety of entertainers to be guests on shows. Watcher has 3 guys which the occasional guest

• A big part of this transition is because Watcher's episodes have a high production cost. That's what they claim. That it costs hundreds of thousands of dollars to film one episode of Ghost Files. but why?? why does it cost that much?? I get cost of travel for talent and crew but hundreds of thousands of dollars per episode?

• When IAC dropped CH and they went bankrupt in 2020, they only had 7 employees. When Sam Reich bought the company, they only had 7 employees. not twenty five. I'm not advocating for laying off people, but maybe they shouldn't be payrolling more people than they can afford

• also. Sam Reich is very vocal about how Dropout surviving and succeeding was nothing short of a miracle. They didn't get that success because the business model works, they got that success from years of networking, hard work, and pure luck

So I love near everything u write about Yqy, like it’s perfect, so in character, it makes me want fling him around lol

But do u have any kinda silly svsss hc’s that u haven’t gotten to write about??

THANKYOUUUUU I TRY MY BEST

Silly Scumcannons (modern AU and canon setting is blended up like a milkshake in this one, just roll with it)

- Liu Qingge would have a low tech flip phone, mostly because he’s as tech savvy as a fossil, but also because he would break anything that’s not a Nokia

-when he was little, Shen Jiu saved up and bought one of those shitty quality magnetic friendship necklaces for him and Yue Qi, and was heartbroken when YQ wasn’t wearing it at the IAC (it got kinda fused into his body during the xuan su nonsense) (SJ still keeps his in a little bow in the bamboo house)

-Shen Yuan fucking loves Pokémon, and contrary to popular belief most of his apartment’s decor was Pokémon merch. He has enough shame to keep all the PIDW merch he buys in a little box in his closet

-SY and his sister were both art kids. SY is unfortunately one of those traditional art snobs that paints only, and renders in a traditional style. His sister is an exclusively digital yaoi illustrator.

-LBH has two mutual interests with LQG: Shizun, and fishing. SY tries to set up fish bonding between them, but the malevolent aura they create together scares the fish

-LBH prefers the classic Saturday set up a poll and get wasted. LQG prefers boating out with a harpoon.

-SY/SJ is actually pretty isolated from the other peak lords. Most of them are very close friends

-QQQ likes to drink with WQW and she once got him to agree to entrust his future children to her in the event of his death

-not just MBJ but the entire northern desert court think of SQH as a like a hot, domineering, James Bond type. Did you hear he was a spy?! Did you know how many people he killed?!? They’re all doing the demon equivalent of twirling their hair and making goo-goo eyes at him

-less well known than Resentment of Chushan is wildly popular stallion fiction Lord of the Clear Cold Lake, about a badass half demon spy who was playing both the human and demon realm to amass an empire, seducing an ice queen and amassing a harem of hundreds (it was written by TLJ. He wants airplane to fuck him so bad)

-MBJ would be an active enjoyer of fan fiction and has even written some (about the same literary level as My Immortal)

-YQY had to train in the four arts to be a cultivator obviously, and he can draw pretty decent landscapes, but his skill at drawing people never progressed much further than

(He makes do)

-SJ made it MF’s duty to keep disciples from fucking, and he has walked in on some truly awful things. Eventually he just stopped doing dorm walkthroughs.

-QQQ and MQF do sect-wide sex ed together, QQQ focusing on how to do sex and the etiquette therein, and MQF focusing on the health aspects, puberty, and what to do if you get pregnant/an STD/your period/figure out you’re trans. Every years they have a running bet on how many disciples will come in for related medical treatment in the following week.

-while Xian Shu is outwardly women only and Ku Xing is outwardly men only, both peaks allow disciples whose gender doesn’t fit clearly into one category or the other

-Ku Xing is dedicated to creating an environment for aesthetic cultivation, but that doesn’t mean disciples of other peaks can’t also practice it.

-the sect makes money from slaying beasts and protecting the cities in it’s territory, every peak also ha some product production sold to the wider world (other than Qiong Ding). Disciples are encouraged to build their skills to join production. Depending on the quality and quantity of their work, they will make money from sale- convenient for disciples not yet in a paid position within the sect.

-like 20% of the beasts are obvious Pokémon ripoffs

It was Margo's first time in Russia. She'd seen news footage, of course. Heard it spoken of so fondly by Sergei in the years of their acquaintance. Despite the reservations of his government, his hatred for the KGB, he had spoken warmly of vacations with his family, of cooking with his mother, of the first heavy snow. Margo wished, truly, that she could experience Russia through his eyes. But Sergei had been dead for eight years and all around her was ghosts.

Thankfully, there was the work to distract her. Always the work.

The Goldilocks capture conference in Leningrad had not been as...productive, as Margo had hoped. Political posturing; capitalism and bottom lines outweighing scientific merit and discovery. Exhausted, Margo had retired to a fireplace in the hotel bar, sharing a drink with Aleida, licking their wounds after the new Director of Roscosmos had scuppered their intentions to bring the asteroid to Mars.

Margo rolled her neck, fingers pressing against the condensation of the glass. "We should be holding this in Houston."

"No arguments here. Instead, Morozova gets to run the show." Aleida sipped her brandy. She was still pissed she'd been relegated to an inferior hotel, whereas Margo, as director of NASA, had been give five star accommodation. Margo couldn't blame her. "There's something about her I just don't trust."

"I'd say someone was pulling her strings, but I think she's at the top of the food chain here."

Margo didn't enjoy spy novels. Didn't enjoy ear pieces and false identities and honey traps. Any possible love for the genre had been eroded when the KGB had throttled Sergei in front of her. But she knew the signs. The hallmarks. The way Irina would pause. The way she would formulate words on her tongue that held no meaning, just regurgitated from others. No doubt, Margo would know what lay behind it all in due course. But for now, she was happy to spend some hours of the day away from Irina Morozova and Dev Ayesa.

"I'm gonna head up to my room." Margo stared at Aleida. "You sure you're going to be okay over there? You can stay with me; it's not a problem."

"I've slept in worse." Aleida drained her glass. "Text you when I'm there. Don't forget to text Ilyana and Andrei."

Margo would not. Sergei's aging parents had been so excited about her trip when Margo had told them during her last visit. Maps had been involved; images summoned from the web to replace the photo albums they had lost. It had been another dinner where Margo had felt a stab in her gut at all they had lost to come to the States: their home, their possessions, their son. Margo had done everything to get Sergei and his family out. All but see him home safe. Still, Margo had promised to take pictures for his parents and she would fulfil that promise.

As she left the hotel bar, Margo noticed that Irina had left. She traversed the halls, seeing if she had picked up a shadow. She entered the elevator alone. Pressed seven. Flexed her fingers around a phantom touch. Exited alone. Margo hovered, as the doors closed, imagining his body close to hers. Aleida went to the IAC now. Margo couldn't bear it. At least there were no memories here. No ghosts that would haunt Margo as she entered her room.

Margo began the short walk to her suite. The door was ajar. Fuck. There was no housekeeping cart outside, or room service. Just an open door spilling light into the hallway. No. Not again. She was not going to stand for this. She was done being messed with. Storming into her hotel room, Margo caught sight of a figure by her desk and called out: "I am not being fucked around by you people anymore. You'll have to strangle me this time."

The figure turned around and Margo's world spun.

"Hello, Margo."

It wasn't possible. She was dreaming or had been knocked out somehow between the elevator and here. This wasn't real. Bradford had tried to get home. He'd been on the plane; had made it to Germany. But the KGB had found him. Bradford had spared her the details, not wanting to see her tears, not wanting to know how close the head of NASA was with the former head of Roscosmos. But he was dead, of that she was sure. Margo had mourned him. His parents, his sisters had mourned him. There was a photograph of them from Apollo-Soyuz on her shelves that Aleida always stared at when she came into Margo's office. Staring at a ghost, a legacy.

Yet here he was.

Sergei Nikulov – older, with creases around his eyes but still looking healthier than the last time she'd seen him in person – stared at her. Smiled at her. Before the weight of his haunting fell heavy on his shoulders. "We do not have much time."

Margo didn't respond. She merely approached, cautiously, as if he were made of vapour and would disappear if she made one errant step. She took stock of him: the rise and fall of his chest, the flush of his skin under the warmth of the hotel lights, the stray thread on the sleeve of his shirt. After a visual inspection, Margo investigated closer. She took his hand in hers. Familiar grooves and lines. A phantom touch made real. His grip tightened, held her hand for the first time in nearly a decade.

Margo gasped and immediately closed the distance between them, cradling his face in her hands. "I thought—" He nodded. "I thought I couldn't save you."

Sergei took one of the hands pressing against his cheek and kissed her palm. "I am afraid, Margo, that I am beyond saving. This time, I am here to save you." His shoulders fell in defeat. "We need to talk about Irina Morozova."

They didn’t just build a startup. They built through everything.

Jason and Kristin met when they launched Instamour, a dating app designed to connect people in real time through video — before Zoom was a thing. 💡 They bootstrapped it, even selling a Mercedes Benz someone had gifted Jason… for $850. That’s how much belief they had in their idea.

Over the years, they worked side-by-side — through pivots, pressure, partnerships, and prototypes.

🔥 At one point, they sat down with IAC — the same company that owns Tinder and Match — and held their ground.

🌀 Later, they created Spinnr, a video-based friend-matching app born from doodles and dreams during the pandemic. Kristin literally drew the name on a notepad the night before it clicked.

⚙️ And now? They’re behind Vengo AI, an AI-powered sales platform revolutionizing how businesses engage customers in real time. Real conversations. Real results. All built on two decades of lessons.

What’s the secret?

They stuck together. Even when it was hard. Even when no one believed in their vision yet. They each brought different strengths — Kristin with marketing and people, Jason with tech and product. They gave each other space to create, but always came back to the mission. They never stopped iterating. They never stopped laughing.

📌 Takeaway for future founders?

Believe in the long game.

Do the unglamorous stuff.

Stay human through the hustle.

And most of all — build with people who challenge you and still show up the next day.

Because a team that can build through anything… can build everything.

What is copper clad steel wire used for

Copper clad steel wire (CCS) is a composite material that combines the strength of steel with the electrical conductivity of copper. Manufactured by bonding a copper layer onto a steel core through electroplating, cladding, or other metallurgical processes, CCS offers a cost-effective alternative to pure copper conductors while maintaining critical performance characteristics. This article explores the diverse applications of copper clad steel wire across industries, highlighting its role in modern technology and infrastructure.

Telecommunications and Cable Industries CCS is widely used in telecommunications, particularly in coaxial cables for cable TV (CATV) subscriber lines and broadband networks. Its ability to leverage the "skin effect"—a phenomenon where high-frequency signals travel primarily along the conductor's surface—allows CCS to match the conductivity of pure copper at frequencies above 5 MHz. This makes it ideal for inner conductors in coaxial cables, where copper ensures signal integrity while steel provides mechanical strength. For instance, Shanghai BISCO International Corporation’s CCS products, compliant with standards like ASTM B227 and GB 12269, are deployed in CATV systems and local area networks (LANs), offering durability and cost efficiency.

Electrical Power Transmission and Grounding In the power sector, CCS serves as a reliable conductor for overhead transmission lines, grounding systems, and railway electrification. Its high tensile strength, derived from the steel core, enables it to withstand mechanical stress in long-span installations. Meanwhile, the copper layer ensures low electrical resistance, critical for efficient power transfer. CCS is also used in grounding rods for electrical installations, where its corrosion resistance—enhanced by surface treatments like tin or silver plating—extends service life. For example, Jiangsu Reliable Industry Co., Ltd. produces CCS wires with conductivities ranging from 21% to 40% IACS, suitable for power transmission and grounding applications.

Electronics and Component Manufacturing CCS wire is a preferred material for electronic components, such as connectors, leads, and printed circuit board (PCB) traces. The copper layer provides solderability and electrical conductivity, while the steel core adds structural rigidity. This combination is valuable in high-density electronics, where space constraints demand materials that balance performance and mechanical integrity. Additionally, CCS is used in RF (radio frequency) cables for high-frequency applications, such as antennas and wireless communication systems, where its skin-effect properties ensure minimal signal loss.

Railway and Transportation Infrastructure The transportation sector relies on CCS for catenary wires in electrified railways and tram systems. Here, the material’s strength-to-weight ratio is crucial for supporting overhead lines over long distances. For example, Japan’s Shinkansen bullet trains use CCS catenary wires to ensure reliable power delivery at high speeds. CCS is also employed in grounding systems for railway infrastructure, protecting against lightning strikes and electrical faults.

Defense and Aerospace Applications In defense and aerospace, CCS is used for lightweight, high-strength wiring in aircraft, satellites, and military equipment. Its resistance to vibration and extreme temperatures makes it suitable for avionics systems, where reliability is non-negotiable. Additionally, CCS is used in shielded cables to protect sensitive electronics from electromagnetic interference (EMI).

Renewable Energy and High-Temperature Systems CCS is gaining traction in renewable energy projects, such as solar farms and wind turbines, where its durability and conductivity are valued in harsh environments. It is also used in high-temperature applications, such as industrial furnaces and heating elements, where copper’s thermal conductivity and steel’s heat resistance are synergistic.

Conclusion Copper clad steel wire (CCS) has emerged as a versatile material with applications spanning telecommunications, power transmission, electronics, transportation, defense, and renewable energy. Its unique combination of steel’s mechanical strength and copper’s electrical conductivity makes it indispensable in industries where performance, cost, and durability are critical. As technology advances, CCS continues to evolve, with new specifications (e.g., ASTM’s proposed 21–70% IACS standards) expanding its potential in emerging fields. Whether in high-frequency cables, railway catenaries, or aerospace wiring, CCS remains a testament to the power of composite materials in modern engineering. Its adaptability and reliability ensure that copper clad steel wire will remain a cornerstone of infrastructure and technology for years to come.
