Shao Kahn and Shang Tsung are obsessed with reigning over various realms (parallel universes) and the winners of Mortal Kombat competitions are granted supreme control over these worlds. The Earthrealm (Earth) is an unconscious participant in this competition and only a few select humans understand the consequences of losing Mortal Kombat and what it will mean to Earth. In a universe with powerful evil sorcerers, cyborgs, Gods and movie stars, this Mortal Kombat digital media series drives a cohesive understanding of what this Universe is all about. Episode 1 Synopsis " Jax, Sonya and Kano (Part 1)" When Jax realizes time is of the essence to save Sonya, a fellow lieutenant in the Outworld Investigation Agency, from Kano's deadly hand, he holds nothing back in this action-packed, two-on-one battle to keep a shipment of stolen Robotic Defense Program material out of Kano's hands. But can Jax and Sonya do it? Kano is a ruthless, evil leader of the "Black Dragon" international crime organization, and anyone who's tried to take him down has never lived to tell about it!

Your favorite, disgruntled, oddly flamboyant, death-dealing, floor humping-techno raving heroes are back with a new challenge they must face.. could this be the end?! ...Or the start of something..beautiful Sat down and thought about this thing we got going on here: We started with 5 people, now we virtually have an ARMY of people willing to participate in THIS: And what is THIS? This is something special without a doubt, on one end-We finally give our inner children satisfaction by becoming and creating the favorite/admired characters of our youth: Then sharing it? We become them, for the world to see. In a sense: We're fulfilled a somewhat impossible dream from our younger-selves. What also is THIS? While our impression may not be as big as some, our reach not as long as others... We have permanently left our mark in this world, thus far, we have made hundreds of thousands laugh and will continue to, we have helped make a small portion of the world happier for a moment, that can never be un-done. What makes THIS more potent of an epidemic? The fact that our intentions are pure: We do it SIMPLY to make others laugh and to create joy: With that as our driving force we can NEVER fail... and things will just simply stay aligning for us because THAT is what life is all about

MKE Ankaragücü (; full name ''Makina Kimya Endüstrisi Ankaragücü'') is a professional Turkish football club located in the city of Ankara. The club wears a yellow and navy kit and play their home matches at Ankara 19 Mayis.

The clubs greatest domestic success were two Türkiye Kupası trophies in 1972 and 1981. They also won the second division on two occasions. Amateur-wise, the club won five Ankara Football League titles. The club has a rivalry with Gençlerbirliği.

Ankaragücü also operates cycling, taekwondo and women's volleyball branches. The women's volleyball team have competed in the Turkish Women's Volleyball League since the 2009–10 season.

History

Early years (1909–1959)

Ankaragücü is based in Ankara, but was originally founded in Zeytinburnu, Istanbul in 1904 as Altin Örs Idman Yurdu. The club competed in the Istanbul Friday League. It is unclear as to the motive behind the uprooting of the Istanbul based club to Ankara. However, two separate theories are accepted by the club. The first theory entails that the club moved from Istanbul to Ankara because of the Turkish War of Independence (1919–1923).

Another theory is that the club splintered, with some players following Şükrü Abbas and others following Agah Orhan. Şükrü Abbas founded Turan Sanatkaragücü in 1910. In 1938, both clubs merged to form AS-FA Gücü. The club name was changed for one last time in 1948, with both sides settling on Ankaragücü.

1. Lig Years and Relegation (1959–1981)

The club were one of the original sixteen in the 1959 Milli Lig. They were admitted into the league after finishing second in the Ankara Professional League. The club finished fifth in the Beyaz Grup (White Grup) in the first season of the Milli Lig.

Ankaragücü were relegated to the 2.Lig in 1967–68 after finishing second to last place. The club returned to the top league next season. Ankaragücü was again relegated in 1975–1976 season, but promoted to the 1st League next season. Ankaragücü was relegated for the third time in 1977–1978 season.

Back to 1. Lig (1981–2000)

Ankaragücü returned to the 1st League in 1981; Turkish president Kenan Evren and the Ankara governor Mustafa Gonul changed the status of the league so that the club gained promotion to the 1. Lig, after winning Turkish Cup, despite having placed second to Sakaryaspor in the second league. Ankaragücü has played in the 1st League since then. The club was occasionally successful during the 1990s.

Ersun Yanal Period (2000–2002)

Under Ersun Yanal's managership, the club has seen two successive seasons, becoming 6th in the 2000–2001 season and 4th in the 2001–2002 season.

The Disarray Years (2002–2009)

After Ersun Yanal left the club, Ankaragücü found it in a struggle to be saved from relegation each year and were in full-blown and widespread dissa. The club luckily managed to stay clear of relegation at the last few matches during these years. Consequently, a financial crisis hit the club during late 2000s.

Ahmet Gökçek's Presidency (2009– )

After the economic crisis, Ahmet Gökçek became the chairman replacing Cemal Aydın. He promised that the club would become a champion in upcoming years. He was formerly (informally) associated with Ankaraspor and TFF objected to the control of two clubs at the same time and relegated Ankaraspor. After the relegation of Ankaraspor, he merged the football squads of two teams, but he has still not managed to form a squad that would win a championship.

Special relationship with Bursaspor

In the early 1990's Bursaspor's ultra group Teksas had a leader called, 'Abdulkerim Bayraktar'. He went to study in Ankara, whilst in the city he started attending Ankaragücü games and started building ties between the two clubs.

In 1993 however, his life was cut short, during his military service he was martyred by terrorists. This tragic event bought Bursaspor and Ankaragücü even closer together. During the first game after his death, Bursaspor organized a tribute to him, the events which happened next cemented the brotherhood between these two teams. A large group of Ankaragücü supporters made their way onto the pitch and unveiled a large banner reading, 'Our brother Abdul will never die, he lives on in our hearts'. The two supporter groups united and hundreds of Ankaragucu ultras attended his funeral. From that day on Bursaspor supporters would chant Ankaragucu's name in the 6th minute of every home game, 6 being significant due to 6 being Ankara's city code.

Ankaragücü supporters in return chant Bursaspor's name during the 16th minute, 16 being Bursa's city code. When the two sides play, the supporters sit together, its one of the rare occasions in which ultra from opposing teams watch a game together in a mixed environment, they bring 'Bursankara' scarfs (a merger of the two clubs names) to the games and create a fantastic atmosphere full of mutual respect.

Stadium

The club currently play their home matches at Ankara 19 Mayıs Stadium. The stadium is shared with fellow-Ankara based clubs and rivals Gençlerbirliği. The stadium has a fully-seated capacity of 19,209.

    Liu Kang () is a video game character in the ''Mortal Kombat'' fighting game series. First appearing in the series' first title, Liu Kang is portrayed as a Shaolin monk who enters the Mortal Kombat tournament to save his world, Earthrealm, from being destroyed due to having lost nine consecutive tournaments. Since his victory in the tournament, Liu Kang acts as defender from the Earthrealms along with the Earth's warriors and his mentor, the thunder god Raiden.

    Liu Kang appears in most games as a playable character, including as the lead character from ''Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks'' along with Kung Lao, and has also appeared in the live-action films from the series and the comic adaptations. His character was created to be the hero of the series, with most of his moves being less violent and easier to perform than the ones from other characters. His critical reception was mixed, with some of them criticizing his gameplay while others noted him to be entertaining.

    Concept and design history

    Liu Kang was originally going to be called Minamoto Yo Shin Soo, a Japanese mythological character, but John Tobias stated that they could not "deal with the name". According to Tobias, Liu Kang "was originally going to be a traditional monk - bald and in robes - but he wound up resembling Bruce Lee." As stated on his ''MK: Armageddon'' bio card, Ed Boon mentioned that Liu Kang was designed to be the most easily "accessible" character, meaning that both casual and experienced gamers could play as him with little difficulty. Liu Kang was the only character in the first game whose finishing move (Fatality) did not explicitly murder his opponent, and also without the background dimming. This was because Liu Kang was depicted therein as a Shaolin monk, who in general have strict beliefs regarding killing and murder. However, starting with ''Mortal Kombat II'', he was given gory Fatalities as he was thereafter depicted as a renegade monk who decided to grow his hair back, and who had "strong Shaolin beliefs, but was no longer a part of the Shaolin monks." In response to rumors that Liu Kang would die in ''Mortal Kombat II'' and therefore not make it into ''Mortal Kombat 3'', Boon said, "It'd be like doing part three of ''Star Wars'' and not having Luke Skywalker in there. You don't do that." His eventual death caused Dan Forden, the music composer of the series, to make a "funeral song" for Liu Kang as he felt saddened for his death. The track, named "Liu Kang's Tomb", would be used in ''Mortal Kombat: Deception'' in the arena that shows Liu Kang's tomb.

    Liu Kang was played by Ho Sung Pak in the first two games, and John Tobias stated in an interview that he originally intended for the character to be a traditional bald monk, but the actor refused to shave his head. In the first game, Liu Kang was modeled after Bruce Lee, as he had short hair and went shirtless, with a threadbare outfit of only black pants and white shoes. The word "Otomix" was supposed to be written in his pants as Otomix is a supplier of martial arts and athletic wear, but the staff decided to remove to avoid advertising it. In ''Mortal Kombat II,'' his outfit was enhanced with red stripes, and now included a red headband, black shoes, and studded wristguards. In ''Mortal Kombat 3,'' his hair was considerably longer, with the only alteration to his outfit being thin black leg strips wrapped above his ankles in order to give him a "sleeker" look for the game. He was given a red tank top in addition to his usual costume in ''Mortal Kombat 4'', but his alternate outfit was blue and featured him shirtless again. His wardrobe from the third game was carried over into ''Deception'' and ''Armageddon'', but due to his resurrection, his skin was ash gray, and he wore hooked chains around his wrists. This form is also known by fans and ''Mortal Kombat'' producer Shaun Himmerick as "Zombie Liu Kang". Nevertheless, his alternate outfit for both games featured him as a living person in order to contrast his undead form. In ''Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe'', he sported a slightly altered version of his third costume, in addition to a championship belt adorned with the ''Mortal Kombat'' dragon emblem. Although in ''Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks'', Liu Kang's design remains similar to his ''Mortal Kombat II'' one, Himmerick comments that it was the most revised one from the game along with Kung Lao's.

    In video games

    Introduced in the first ''Mortal Kombat'' game as a Chinese Shaolin Kung Fu fighting monk, Liu Kang enters the tenth Mortal Kombat tournament in order to protect Earthrealm from being destroyed for having lost several tournaments. During the tournament, Liu Kang defeats Grand Champion Goro and the host Shang Tsung, emerging as the new champion of Mortal Kombat. In the sequel, ''Mortal Kombat II'', Liu Kang finds many of his Shaolin killed in a vicious attack by a horde of nomadic mutants under orders from Emperor Shao Kahn, Shang Tsung's master. Enraged, Liu Kang decides to travel to Outworld, backed by his friend Kung Lao to seek revenge. At the tournament, Liu Kang fights Shao Kahn, eventually overpowering the emperor. In ''Mortal Kombat 3'', Liu Kang and his friends fight against Shao Khan's extermination squad which invaded Earthrealm. Liu Kang once again defeats Shao Kahn, causing him and his forces to retreat back to Outworld. By the time of ''Mortal Kombat 4'' Liu Kang discovers that Kitana has been captured by the Elder God Shinnok's forces and begins gathering Earth's warriors to defeat Shinnok. Eventually, Liu Kang confronts Shinnok and once again emerges victorious with Kitana and her people having survived to the attack. However, he is unable to commit himself to a relationship due to his duty while Kitana has to stay in Outworld as reigning princess.

    In ''Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance'', the sorcerers Shang Tsung and Quan Chi join forces to kill Liu Kang, who is unplayable in the game. By the time of ''Mortal Kombat: Deception'', his mentor, Raiden, reanimates Liu Kang's body and sends it on a rampage, causing his soul to attempt to control it. The undead Liu Kang appears as a secret character that can only be unlocked through the Konquest Mode. In the PlayStation Portable version of ''Deception'', ''Mortal Kombat: Unchained'', he is directly playable as the staff noted that it was very difficult to unlock him in ''Deception''. From there, Liu Kang enlists with the ninja Ermac to try and save his friends from Onaga who has been controlling them. He accomplishes this task in ''Deception'', but by ''Mortal Kombat: Armageddon'' he is still unable to fully control his body.

    Along with Kung Lao, Liu Kang is the lead character in the spin-off action game ''Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks''. The game is a retelling from the storyline of ''Mortal Kombat II'' and features the two Shaolin Monks traveling to Outworld to find and defeat Shang Tsung, later ending in a fight with Shao Khan. Liu Kang also stars in the crossover ''Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe'', which features fights between characters from the ''Mortal Kombat'' and the DC Comics universe. In this game, Liu Kang appears as the protagonist from the first chapter of the ''Mortal Kombat'' story mode. (Tobias said that the fight he expected to see in the game was between Liu Kang and Batman as he noted their back-stories to be very similar.)

    In the 2011 ''Mortal Kombat'' video game, Liu Kang reprises his role from the first two tournaments as Raiden who has visions from the future in which Shao Kahn remained as the last warrior believes him to be the warrior which his future self chose as the saviour. When Shao Kahn is preparing to invade Earthrealm, Raiden electrocutes Liu Kang before he could face him as he realized Shao Kahn had to win and merge the realms in order to avoid the events of the future.

    Gameplay

    Liu Kang specializes in kicks, with his most common move being flying across the screen and connect with a kick to the opponent's torso. He also has a "Bicycle Kick" in which Liu Kang flies across the screen with a series of multiple kicks to the opponent's torso resembling pedaling a bicycle, hence the name. Another of his signature abilities is the "Dragon Fire": with it Liu Kang sends a fiery flame in the shape of a dragon across the screen out of his hands at his opponent. After ''Mortal Kombat II'', he gains the ability to perform this while crouching and in the air, same for ''Deception'' and ''Armageddon''.

    Liu Kang's first finishing move is the Fatality "Shaolin Uppercut". With it Liu Kang performs a butterfly kick on his opponent, before hitting an uppercut that knocks them into the air for several seconds. In ''Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks'', there were two versions; one where the victim explodes to pieces upon impact and the original, in which the opponent is torn to pieces upon falling to the ground. In another signature Fatality he morphs into a large dragon, chomping the upper body of his opponent. Developer John Vogel noted this Fatality to be his favorite due to how much Liu Kang's appearance changes and how big he becomes. This Fatality was turned into an Animality in ''Mortal Kombat 3'' and back into a normal Fatality in ''Mortal Kombat 4''. In the Game Boy and Game Gear versions of ''Mortal Kombat II'', he torches the opponent with a fireball. He also has a Fatality in which he disappears and then a ''Mortal Kombat'' arcade game machine drops down and crushes his opponent.

    In other media

    Liu Kang was the main protagonist of Malibu Comics' adaptation of the ''Mortal Kombat'' series. In the first miniseries, ''Blood & Thunder,'' his backstory was mostly kept intact as a Shaolin monk out to restore the tournament to their righteous owners, with the only difference being that he was not the chosen one to defeat Goro, which instead fell on twin monk brothers named Sing and Sang, two original characters created specifically for the comics; after they are killed by Goro in the third issue, Liu Kang becomes the Shaolin's only hope in defeating Shang Tsung. The following miniseries, ''Battlewave,'' stated that Liu Kang won the first tournament after defeating Goro, which never appeared in the ''B&T;'' miniseries. He returns to his normal life as an architect in Chicago, having left the Order of Light before the events of the first series. However, he suffers from constant attacks by an unknown force of ninjas and later receives help from Johnny Cage's bodyguard Bo when Goro ambushes him in an office building. Eventually he decides to travel to Outworld, realizing that he cannot avoid Mortal Kombat.

    He is the main protagonist in both ''Mortal Kombat'' movies, portrayed by Robin Shou. Director Paul W. S. Anderson wanted Liu Kang's character to be "really engaging" and chose Shou, noting his skills with martial arts. In the first film, he takes part in the tournament out of guilt over his brother's death at the hands of Shang Tsung, and defeats Tsung in the final battle. Shou, along with Talisa Soto, was one of only two actors to reprise their roles in the sequel, ''Mortal Kombat: Annihilation'' (Keith Cooke, who played Reptile, returned as well, but as the new Sub-Zero). In the sequel, Liu Kang joins the Earthrealm warriors to stop Shao Kahn's menace.

    Liu Kang was also one of the lead characters in the 1996 animated series ''Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm'', voiced by Brian Tochi. He was not the main protagonist therein as opposed to the game storyline, instead sharing this role with several other Earthrealm heroes.

    In the animated film ''Mortal Kombat: The Journey Begins'', Liu Kang appears as one of the main characters.

    Promotion and reception

    In 1996, Toy Island published a Liu Kang action figure which had a white shirt. Two Liu Kang action figures from ''Shaolin Monks'' were released by Jazwares. Apart from being flexible, both figures included different types of weapons such as swords and axes. GameSpot featured him in their poll for the title of "All Time Greatest Game Hero" in 2009, in which he has lost to Yoshi. He was also ranked as 94th on UGO.com's 2008 "Top 100 Heroes of All Time" list, noting his role in the ''Mortal Kombat'' series as well as character depth. GamesRadar featured him their article "Kickass Bruce Lee clones" citing his similarities with Bruce Lee and with one of his shouts featured in famous quotes. His relation with Kitana was ranked fourth in IGN's list of "Best Videogames Couples" in 2006. His redesign in ''Mortal Kombat: Deception'' was praised by GameSpot for being one of the best ones from the title, and was featured in GamesRadar's list of "The 37 greatest zombie triumphs" in 2009, but was ranked as the nineth worst ''Mortal Kombat'' character by ScrewAttack in 2011. Liu Kang's finishing move turned into a dragon fatality has been listed as one of the best fatalities from the series by both ''Game Informer'' and UGO. On the other hand, his fatality in which he throws a ''Mortal Kombat'' arcade and his first fatality were pointed by both ''Game Informer'' and GamePro as one of the worst from the series due to their humor and lack of violence, respectively.

    Some video game publications criticized his gameplay and shouts while others noted him to be entertaining. IGN's Douglas Perry wrote that he preferred Liu Kang over Kung Lao as a playable character in ''Shaolin Monks'' because of his "intuitive fighting moves," adding that his shouts were "annoying" yet "strangely pleasing." GameDaily also complained on his voice, saying that "Liu Kang screams out like a chicken". Eurogamer commented that Liu Kang's kicks are ridiculous, while their intensified versions from ''Shaolin Monks'' are demented. Upon his death in ''Deadly Alliance'', IGN's Jeremy Dunham noted that Liu Kang was killed as the series needed "'starting over' mentality", as he regarded Liu Kang as the series' strongest character. IGN also said that "it just wouldn't be right having a game without him", noting that him to be as fierce as the DC characters from ''Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe''. Like all the characters from ''Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe'', Liu Kang was selected to be a playable character based on his popularity.

    Johnny Cage, whose real name is John Carlton, is a video game character from the ''Mortal Kombat'' fighting game series.

    In video games

    Johnny Cage introduced as a playable character in the first ''Mortal Kombat'' game. He enters into the titular tournament to prove he does not use special effects in the films he stars in. In the sequel ''Mortal Kombat II'', Cage goes to another tournament in the realm of Outworld after allying with the warriors who wish to protect Earth led by the thunder god Raiden.

    He does not reappear in the series until ''Mortal Kombat Trilogy'', where he was killed by Shao Kahn's forces invading Earth. He is shortly revived to help his former comrades defeat Shao Kahn. In the next game, ''Mortal Kombat 4'', Cage is allowed to continue his life after seeking Raiden's help to revive and joins friends once again to defeat the forces from the former god Shinnok who plans to initiate a war between the realms.

    By ''Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance'', Cage once again joins Raiden's group, in order to stop the menace from the alliance of sorcerers Quan Chi and Shang Tsung. However, Cage is killed alongside most of his comrades and he is resurrected by the Dragon King Onaga to use him as a slave. He is freed from his mind control by the ninja Ermac and Liu Kang's ghost. He returns in ''Mortal Kombat: Armageddon'' as a playable character, participating in the new tournament Armageddon that will decide mankind's fate. In the ensuing battle, Cage is decapitated by an unknown opponent.

    He has also appeared in the spin off game ''Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks'' that reprises the events from ''Mortal Kombat II''. Besides being a supporting character across the game, he is also playable in the fighting mode.

    He reappears in the 2011 ''Mortal Kombat'' game. As the game retells the events from the first tournaments, Cage joins Raiden's forces to save Earth. He and Sonya Blade become the only Earthrealm warriors to survive the course of the game's plot.

    Character design

    The character was modeled after Jean-Claude Van Damme. Cage's appearance in the first game was loosely based on Van Damme's portrayal of Dux Ryu Ninjutsu founder Frank Dux in the 1988 movie ''Bloodsport'', from his outfit to his "Split Punch". Designed to be a Hollywood star, Cage is meant to be comic relief character in contrast to more serious characters like Liu Kang and Raiden. Johnny Cage's real name came from Midway game artist John Carlton, who worked on the ''NBA Jam'' series.

    In other media

    Johnny Cage is one of the main characters in the ''Mortal Kombat'' comic book series. His portrayal in the comics is faithful to the games, keeping both his desire to prove his moves are real and his personality traits. He appears during the whole ''Blood & Thunder'' series, most of the time alongside Sonya, with whom he shares a relationship in the comics. His most serious moment is during issue 4 when he, under Raiden's advice, decides to not seek the power of the Tao Te Zhan, since he felt it would be like faking his moves in his films. During the second series, ''Battlewave'', he is seen resuming his acting career when Sonya asks him to help with an investigation after Jax was brutally attacked. He initially refuses, but later reconsiders what's important and decides to follow with Jax into the Outworld. In the meantime, he sends his musclebound bodyguard, Bo, to protect Liu Kang.

    In the first ''Mortal Kombat'' movie, Johnny Cage was played by Linden Ashby, whose portrayal was faithful to the games in keeping with Cage's personality and his comic relief role. During the film, he fights with both Scorpion and Goro in Mortal Kombat, and manages to defeat both.

    Johnny Cage reappears in ''Mortal Kombat: Annihilation''. He was played by Chris Conrad. In the opening scene, Shao Kahn takes Sonya Blade hostage, and Cage attempts to save her. He is killed when Kahn snaps his neck.

    Matt Mullins appears as Johnny Cage in the internet video, ''Mortal Kombat: Rebirth''. He was an action movie star, whose career was dying. To allow his talents to still be used, he became an undercover agent for Jackson Briggs. However, Alan Zane / Baraka killed him shortly thereafter in battle. Mullins reprised his role in ''Mortal Kombat: Legacy'', in which he plays a career failing Johnny Cage, a former "ass-kicking teen heartthrob from ''Power Rangers''."

    Reception

    UGO.com ranked Johnny Cage fourth on their "Top 11 Mortal Kombat Characters" list, praising his role as the comic relief of the series with the added statement that "there's nothing better than kicking somebody's ass with a fighter that's supposed to be a joke". GameDaily put him 23rd in their feature "Top 25 Gaming Hunks", stating "If you can't marry Brad Pitt, you can always settle for Mortal Kombat's Johnny Cage". 1UP.com ranked him nineth in their "They Is Risen" feature, which covered the ten most notorious video game resurrections. The publication noted that one of the most remarkable part of his character was that he was one of the few ones who died during the storyline. Cage's Split Punch was in GamesRadar's article "Gaming’s most devastating genital attacks" with its author commenting that "It’s hardly Cage’s most impressive or most damaging move, but it’s inarguably his best." In another article, the split-punch was listed as his signature move with notes that while it is performed in a "decidedly un-Street Fighter way", it was the first "silly" moment in the franchise. Johnny Cage's split-punch on Goro in the ''Mortal Kombat'' film was rated by UGO.com as one the top 11 Game Movie Moments. He was also ninth in Game Revolution's "Top 10 Old School Mortal Kombat Characters" with praise on his special moves that made him stand out. IGN listed him as a character they would like to see as downloadable content for ''Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe'', stating Johnny "remains a favorite among MK heroes, even though he's spent a good portion of the series' life in a coffin".

    We do not collect personally identifiable information about you, except when you provide it to us. For example, if you submit an inquiry to us or sign up for our newsletter, you may be asked to provide certain information such as your contact details (name, e-mail address, mailing address, etc.).

    When you submit your personally identifiable information through wn.com, you are giving your consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information as set forth in this Privacy Policy. If you would prefer that we not collect any personally identifiable information from you, please do not provide us with any such information. We will not sell or rent your personally identifiable information to third parties without your consent, except as otherwise disclosed in this Privacy Policy.

    Except as otherwise disclosed in this Privacy Policy, we will use the information you provide us only for the purpose of responding to your inquiry or in connection with the service for which you provided such information. We may forward your contact information and inquiry to our affiliates and other divisions of our company that we feel can best address your inquiry or provide you with the requested service. We may also use the information you provide in aggregate form for internal business purposes, such as generating statistics and developing marketing plans. We may share or transfer such non-personally identifiable information with or to our affiliates, licensees, agents and partners.

    We may retain other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Such third parties may be provided with access to personally identifiable information needed to perform their functions, but may not use such information for any other purpose.

    In addition, we may disclose any information, including personally identifiable information, we deem necessary, in our sole discretion, to comply with any applicable law, regulation, legal proceeding or governmental request.

    2. E-mail addresses

    We do not want you to receive unwanted e-mail from us. We try to make it easy to opt-out of any service you have asked to receive. If you sign-up to our e-mail newsletters we do not sell, exchange or give your e-mail address to a third party.

    E-mail addresses are collected via the wn.com web site. Users have to physically opt-in to receive the wn.com newsletter and a verification e-mail is sent. wn.com is clearly and conspicuously named at the point of

    collection.

    If you no longer wish to receive our newsletter and promotional communications, you may opt-out of receiving them by following the instructions included in each newsletter or communication or by e-mailing us at michaelw(at)wn.com

    The security of your personal information is important to us. We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during registration and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100 percent secure, however. Therefore, though we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

    If we decide to change our e-mail practices, we will post those changes to this privacy statement, the homepage, and other places we think appropriate so that you are aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it.

    If we make material changes to our e-mail practices, we will notify you here, by e-mail, and by means of a notice on our home page.

    3. Third Party Advertisers

    The advertising banners and other forms of advertising appearing on this Web site are sometimes delivered to you, on our behalf, by a third party.

    4. Business Transfers

    As we continue to develop our business, we might sell certain aspects of our entities or assets. In such transactions, user information, including personally identifiable information, generally is one of the transferred business assets, and by submitting your personal information on Wn.com you agree that your data may be transferred to such parties in these circumstances.
