Yet, no country came close to the travel reluctance shown in Japan, where some 35% of respondents said they don't intend to travel again.

Why do so many industries treat voice actors poorly?!?" Rather than having a set salary, Hayhurst said, video game voice actors often have an hourly rate that’s agreed upon before they begin recording. Video game voice actors are eligible to be represented by the Screen Actors Guild‐American Federation of Television and Radio Artists. In 2017, SAG-AFTRA reached an agreement with video game companies, after a nearly yearlong strike by the union against video game producers, developers and publishers, Variety reported. In some cases, video game voice acting is more than delivering lines of dialogue in a booth.

Stalin a fost inițiatorul Marii Epurări, o campanie prin care cei ce se opuneau ideilor sale mureau prin execuție.

Ştafeta torţei olimpice a Jocurilor de la Tokyo va fi anulată în oraşul japonez Matsuyama din cauza situaţiei sanitare, a anunţat miercuri un responsabil local, la o săptămână după o decizie similară luată într-un alt departament, informează AFP, citează Agerpres. "Vom anula ştafeta flăcării la Matsuyama", a declarat Tokihiro Nakamura, guvernatorul departamentului Ehime, a cărui capitală este Matsuyama. Acesta a precizat că decizia a fost acceptată de Comitetul de organizare Tokyo-2020, care nu a comentat pentru moment informaţia. Trecerea flăcării a fost deja considerată indezirabilă pe străzile departamentului Osaka, din cauza numărului de cazuri de Covid-19, în creştere puternică. Odată cu apropierea Jocurilor Olimpice, organizatorii sunt nevoiţi să facă faţă unui număr tot mai mare de dificultăţi.
