Newsfile Corp - Wed Nov 11, 7:01AM CST
Scottsdale, Arizona--(Newsfile Corp. - November 11, 2020) - Mike The Pike Productions (OTC Pink: MIKP) CEO Mark B. Newbauer issues the following letter to shareholders:
Mike The Pike Productions To view an enhanced version of this image, please visit:

https://orders.newsfilecorp.com/files/7069/67949_085f510b94b3091f_001full.jpg "Shareholders,

It is with great enthusiasm that I detail our anticipated steps forward to building shareholder value alongside our development of high-profile entertainment properties
for screen and our initiatives to get the Company on OTC Markets' Pink Current Information Tier or above.

This has been such a long road for all of us, and I am confident it will have been well worth the journey.

We have been working diligently throughout to position the company for significant market impact.

Mike The Pike Productions has acquired Arowana Media Holdings, Inc., which was formed as a media holdings company with a
passion for transcendent storytelling across film, television, digital media, and other entertainment mediums.

To view an enhanced version of this image, please visit:
https://orders.newsfilecorp.com/files/7069/67949_085f510b94b3091f_003full.jpg Arowana will do this via its flagship subsidiary,

Mike The Pike Entertainment,
where we secure rights to undervalued and/or legacy IP and develop,
package and produce these materials for feature film,

television series and more,
in partnership with studios and production companies.

We anticipate this will lead to further M&E opportunities for Arowana such as merchandising, publishing,
virtual reality,
augmented reality,
artificial intelligence,
video games and esports.

We are currently closing on an acquisition of a highly prominent entertainment property alongside active negotiations for additional properties.

We will detail these in forthcoming announcements to keep this release as succinct as possible.

As for trading as a Pink Current security-
It was announced that on September 16, 2020,
the SEC recently approved the proposed amendment to the Form 211 rule.
( https://www.sec.gov/news/press-release/2020-212 )
It goes effective 60 days after placed on the federal registry,
which was done October 27 th , 2020-effective date-December 28, 2020.

In discussions with Issuer Services at OTC Markets, our understanding
is that OTC Markets is seeking to become a recognized qualified interdealer quotation system ("qualified IDQS").

This, in short, would give MIKP the opportunity to fulfill current information requirements and other due diligence to OTC Markets directly,

as opposed to securing a Market Maker to sponsor a 211 to FINRA,
which has proven to be a lengthy and expensive process.

If and when OTC Markets deems MIKP suitable for current information tier,
a Market Maker may begin quoting MIKP again.

Per my conversation with OTC Markets-this could be as early as Q1 2021.

Forthcoming updates will detail newly acquired property/IP rights, strategic advisors,
partnerships and the road ahead.

Waving covid-patents to all countries

Biden's Worst Move Yet: Giving U.S. Vaccine Tech to China
by Gordon G. Chang
May 22, 2021 at 5:00 am

china has ah company,

$SVA

https://investorshub.advfn.com/Sinovac-Biotech-Ltd-SVA-4930/

A TRIPs waiver will not only impede vaccine production at this moment, it will also cause long-term harm. There are two principal concerns in this regard. First, a waiver for COVID-19 vaccines will obviously decrease the incentive for companies to make vaccines for the next disease. "The recent rhetoric will not discourage us from continuing investing in science," wrote Bourla, the Pfizer chief. "But I am not sure if the same is true for the thousands of small biotech innovators that are totally dependent on accessing capital from investors who invest only on the premise that their intellectual property will be protected."

Second, a TRIPs waiver will eliminate the most important of the barriers to China making sophisticated vaccines: patent protection. Reuters reports that the Biden administration does not want a waiver to aid the Chinese pharmaceutical industry and believes it can address this issue "through the WTO negotiations," but unfortunately it "did not specify how."

Of course, the Biden administration cannot stop Chinese companies once patent protection is waived. Furthermore, Beijing is not going to adhere to the terms of the waiver. As Reuters tells us, "Enforcing limits on use of the technology could be very difficult."

Chinese ruler Xi Jinping a year ago said China's vaccines would be made available as a "global public good," but Beijing has not offered them as such. Instead, China has offered its vaccines to other countries on extraneous and harsh conditions, such as de-recognition of Taiwan or the purchase of 5G networking gear from Huawei Technologies.

So why should the United States support China's biological weapons program to enable another deadly attack? That is exactly what Biden is doing with his proposed TRIPs waiver.

[-chart]www.gatestoneinstitute.org/pics/1103.jpg[/chart]



President Joe Biden is moving to surrender to China U.S. patent and trade secret protections on America's COVID-19 vaccines. Two of those vaccines, made by American-based Pfizer and Moderna, employ revolutionary mRNA technology.

Specifically, the Biden administration has agreed to support a request by India and South Africa for waivers that would permit members of the World Trade Organization to not enforce laws protecting patents and trade secrets covered under the Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights Agreement (TRIPs).

"This is a global health crisis, and the extraordinary circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic call for extraordinary measures," declared U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai in a May 5 statement. "The Administration believes strongly in intellectual property protections, but in service of ending this pandemic, supports the waiver of those protections for COVID-19 vaccines."

Yes, extraordinary circumstances call for extraordinary measures, but not extraordinarily ineffective and counterproductive ones. The proposed TRIPs waiver, as it is called, is both.

Proponents of the waiver, who sometimes speak of "vaccine apartheid," argue that intellectual property rules prevent the making of desperately needed vaccines.

Such arguments appear correct on their face but in fact are not. As Albert Bourla, Pfizer CEO, explained on May 7 in a LinkedIn post, the "bottleneck" for more vaccines is the "scarcity of highly specialized raw materials needed to produce our vaccine."

A TRIPs waiver will not increase the supply of those materials — Pfizer's vaccine requires 280 materials or components from 19 countries — but it will increase the number of companies that enter the vaccine business. Therefore, the waiver will, as Bourla noted, "unleash a scramble for the critical inputs we require in order to make a safe and effective vaccine." He also issued this warning: "Entities with little or no experience in manufacturing vaccines are likely to chase the very raw materials we require to scale our production, putting the safety and security of all at risk."

There is another issue. Countries will need more than manufacturing facilities, patent waivers, and raw materials to make vaccines. They will need Pfizer's and Moderna's trade secrets, like the so-called "cookbooks." Unless the Biden administration plans to expropriate trade secrets — it is unlikely to do so — most developing world manufacturers will require months and perhaps years to obtain the know-how to actually make mRNA vaccines.

As Senator Ben Sasse, the Nebraska Republican, wrote in a May 17 Wall Street Journal op-ed, "The developing world lacks vaccine manufacturing, storage, and distribution capacities—and none of these problems are solved by an IP giveaway." Sean Lin, a microbiologist and a former lab director of the viral disease branch of the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, told Gatestone that the proposed TRIPs waiver "is a nice political gesture."

A TRIPs waiver will not only impede vaccine production at this moment, it will also cause long-term harm. There are two principal concerns in this regard. First, a waiver for COVID-19 vaccines will obviously decrease the incentive for companies to make vaccines for the next disease. "The recent rhetoric will not discourage us from continuing investing in science," wrote Bourla, the Pfizer chief. "But I am not sure if the same is true for the thousands of small biotech innovators that are totally dependent on accessing capital from investors who invest only on the premise that their intellectual property will be protected."

Second, a TRIPs waiver will eliminate the most important of the barriers to China making sophisticated vaccines: patent protection. Reuters reports that the Biden administration does not want a waiver to aid the Chinese pharmaceutical industry and believes it can address this issue "through the WTO negotiations," but unfortunately it "did not specify how."

Of course, the Biden administration cannot stop Chinese companies once patent protection is waived. Furthermore, Beijing is not going to adhere to the terms of the waiver. As Reuters tells us, "Enforcing limits on use of the technology could be very difficult."

"Very difficult"? Make that "impossible."

So the waiver, which will impede the delivery of COVID-19 vaccines, will also help Beijing develop China's biotech business, one of the ten sectors originally listed in its WTO-noncompliant Made in China 2025 initiative.

At the moment, China has failed miserably when it comes to COVID-19 vaccines. Chinese enterprises have developed five such jabs, but, despite months of head start on the rest of the world, they are barely effective. None of China's vaccines has been proven safe. Beijing has refused to hand over Phase III trial data.

China will be the primary beneficiary of any waiver. As Sean Lin points out, "China does not have any prior experience on industrial-scale production of mRNA vaccines" and a waiver, he says, will encourage more Chinese biotech and pharmaceutical companies to jump into the sector. After all, these enterprises will get years of research and development for free if Biden gets his way.

Chinese ruler Xi Jinping a year ago said China's vaccines would be made available as a "global public good," but Beijing has not made good on this promise.. Instead, China has offered its vaccines to other countries on extraneous and harsh conditions, such as de-recognition of Taiwan or the purchase of 5G networking gear from Huawei Technologies.

Moreover, if the Chinese are able to develop a vaccine industry, they will be more likely to create another disease and spread it, as they maliciously spread SARS-CoV-2, the pathogen causing COVID-19, beyond their borders.

The country almost certainly has a bio-weapons program in contravention of its obligations under the Biological Weapons Convention of 1972. The Communist Party also has a doctrine of "Unrestricted Warfare," and a 2015 book by Chinese military scientists suggests "unrestricted" means exactly that. "The core weapon for victory in World War III will be bioweapons," the authors brag.

So why should the United States support China's biological weapons program to enable another deadly attack? That is exactly what Biden is doing with his proposed TRIPs waiver.

yes i agree in reading got dis Kodak Issues Statement Responding To New York Attorney General
4:13 pm ET June 1, 2021 (Benzinga) Print
Eastman Kodak Company (NYSE: KODK) today issued the following
statement in response to the New York Attorney General:

“This morning the New York Attorney General filed an application in New York state court seeking

Eastman Kodak Company (NYSE:KODK) today issued the following statement in response to the New York Attorney General:

“This morning the New York Attorney General filed an application in
New York state court seeking investigative testimony
and documents from Kodak. Prior to this filing,
the Company repeatedly offered to make witnesses available and the Attorney General repeatedly declined.

It is telling that she has now chosen to publicly seek this order
asking for the very testimony in which she previously had no interest.

Mr. Continenza was not in possession of material non-public
information and, contrary to the Attorney General’s allegations,

his small stock purchase was
pre-approved by Kodak’s General Counsel during an open trading window

in accordance with Kodak’s insider trading policy and was subsequently found to be compliant by outside counsel in an independent investigation. Importantly,

Mr. Continenza has purchased Kodak stock in virtually every open window period – and has never sold a single share.

In addition to being wrong on the facts,
the Attorney General’s novel and highly problematic legal theory
that seeks to impose liability in the absence of intent would have a chilling effect on directors and executives of every public company,

who could never invest in their own companies without fear of having good-faith decisions, pre-approved by counsel, second-guessed by regulators and charged as insider trading.

We are confident that the facts and the law are on our side and are prepared to present our case in court if there becomes a need to do so.”

BANGKOK, May 19 (Reuters) - Thai Airways International's THAI.BK creditors have voted to approve the airline's restructuring plan, its legal advisor said on Wednesday.

"Ninety percent of creditors voted to approve the plan," Kitipong Urapeepatanapong told Reuters, adding a court will need to review the plan on May 28. Last year, a court approved the troubled airline's request for bankruptcy protection and debt restructuring.
