text: TV Westworld, Best Science Innovations, & Words on the Move By Word of Mouth • Nov 18, 2016 In HBO's new series Westworld, a futuristic amusement park is populated with androids who look and sound convincingly human. So in the age of 3D printed organs and advanced artificial intelligence, how close are we to making realistic robots? Today, we compare science fact with science fiction. Then, whether it's the overuse of like, saying "nuculear", or using the word "literally", figuratively, misuse of language has a way of getting under our skin. A linguist assures us that language is always changing...so loosen up. Today, why dictionaries and grammar sticklers can't stop improper language. 6.7.16: Suspicious Minds, Surrealist Games, & Song Exploder By Word of Mouth • Jun 7, 2016 RICARDO PABLO via Flickr CC / https://flic.kr/p/qTaa3F Psychiatrists have noticed an increase in patients who believe they are subjects of a reality TV show. Today, we learn about "the Truman Show delusion," and the provocative hypothesis linking psychosis not only to brain chemistry and genetics, but culture and environment. Then, studies on television viewing habits can be confusing: it shortens lifespans, improves sex-lives, decreases motor skills, and builds empathy. But what if it were your job to be glued to the tube? 5.12.16: Poverty Tourism, Spoiler Etiquette, & Donald Hall By Word of Mouth • May 12, 2016 Dennis Jarvis via Flickr CC / https://flic.kr/p/6q9vFQ It's called poverty tourism: guided visits to slums and shantytowns for close-up view of locals living in the shadows of landmarks and luxury hotels. Today, the pros and cons of straying off the typical tourist path. Then, media outlets, pop culture blogs, TV re-cappers and social media are all potential spoilers for others who've yet to see a blockbuster or hit show. Yet global social media thrives on discussion in real time...so what's a person to do? Vulture polled its readers to find out the best approach for spoiler etiquette and we spoke with a TV and movie critic about the results. TV on the Radio & the Penny Poet of Portsmouth By Word of Mouth • Apr 22, 2016 stevestein1982 via Flickr CC / https://flic.kr/p/7aGdeb Big-budget movies aim to break box office records, not win over critics. Today, a reporter comes up with a formula to rank the worst-rated, highest grossing movies of all time...and there are a lot of them. Then, the creators of Naked and Afraid bank on nudity hooking viewers in, but know they can't show the naughty bits during prime time. That's where "the blur man group" comes in. Plus, we'll speak to a woman who counsels reality TV stars - a population excessively prone to addiction, depression and suicide - to cope with sudden and fleeting fame. 4.20.16: TV on the Radio - Part Two By Word of Mouth • Apr 20, 2016 Alan Levine via Flickr CC / https://flic.kr/p/aKNqLD Big-budget movies aim to break box office records, not win over critics. Today, a reporter comes up with a formula to rank the worst-rated, highest grossing movies of all time...and there are a lot of them. Then, the creators of Naked and Afraid bank on nudity hooking viewers in, but know they can't show the naughty bits during prime time. That's where "the blur man group" comes in. Plus, we'll speak to a woman who counsels reality TV stars - a population excessively prone to addiction, depression and suicide - to cope with sudden and fleeting fame. 3.31.16: Why Millennials Like Friends, The Ring Cycle, & 10-Minute Writer's Workshop By Word of Mouth • Mar 31, 2016 Prayitno via Flikcr CC / https://flic.kr/p/hmR8pM Millennials are obsessing over a show about a group of twenty-somethings living their lives and making mistakes in New York City. No, it isn't Girls, Broad City – in fact you've probably have seen an episode of this show...or two...or maybe two hundred. Today, the surprise resurgence of Friends. And from low-brow sitcoms to high-brow performance - at nearly 20 epic hours, Wagner's Ring Cycle is rarely staged outside of the world's premiere opera houses. We'll hear about one man's mission to condense the masterpiece for local audiences. 2.16.16: Super Cop, Robo-Advisors, & Carson the Butler By Word of Mouth • Feb 16, 2016 Justin Morgan via Flickr CC / https://flic.kr/p/staa Many of today's police cars are outfitted with high tech cameras that can scan license plates across four lanes of traffic. They're designed to help stop terrorism, but police departments are using them for a more lucrative purpose: nabbing people for unpaid traffic fines. On today's show, the ultimate traffic cops. Plus, would you take investment advice from a robot? With an increasing number of banks offering automated services, we'll get a profile of investors willing to ditch traditional financial advisors for an algorithm. All that plus a conversation with Jim Carter, better known as Carson the Butler from Downton Abbey Staff Picks: Firing on All Cylinders, 10.18.15 By Word of Mouth • Oct 16, 2015 http://bit.ly/1LSvKBU "An Actual Duck": I've always found store bought costumes to be a bit lacking in creativity, yes, I am a costume snob. I went to art school, it's a prerequisite. But I think I would applaud loudly if I saw any of these posters in the pop-up Halloween costume shop. If I ever went to those places... - Logan 9.22.15: Honorable Discharge for Gay Vets, Christian Comedy, & Art and Craft By Word of Mouth • Sep 22, 2015 George via Flickr CC / flic.kr/p/tmp3jA Since World War II, as many as 100,000 service members have been "less than honorably discharged" for being gay. Now, four years after the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," gay vets look to change the record. Today, what goes into rewriting history. Then, forgery in the art industry is not rare -- but a con artist who has been caught and never sent to jail is. We'll speak to the directors of a film that looks inside the mind of the mischievous shut-in and skilled artist who donated masterful forgeries to more than 46 museums. 07.08.15: Ramadan's Retail Potential & the State of TV By Word of Mouth • Jul 8, 2015 "Family watching television 1958" by Evert F. Baumgardner - National Archives and Records Administration via Wikimedia Commons / http://bit.ly/1D0HxEN Television is dead! Long live television! Despite predictions of its demise, a new golden age of tv is hitting its stride. Today, three critics weigh in on what's on, who's cutting the cable cord, and where the business of TV is headed. We'll also get some thoughts on what's worth watching, including the summer's most divisive offering, True Detective. Then, it's Ramadan. If you didn't know that, you aren't alone…American retailers are ignoring the growing Muslim market at their peril. Sex In The Wild: The Cliffnotes By Molly Donahue • Jul 22, 2014 dicktay2000 via Flickr CC Dr. Joy Reidenberg caught us up on the new PBS series she hosts, Sex in the Wild. She brought some crazy stories and fun facts with her, the best of which we've compiled here. We'll add a quick warning: Dr. 7.20.14: TV On The Radio By Word of Mouth • Jul 18, 2014 Chris Brown via Flickr Creative Commons From airplanes to high school cafeterias, television is everywhere these days. Whether you are a Game of Thrones diehard or an Orange is the New Black binger, most of us have found ourselves entrenched in what some call the Third Golden Age of Television. Today on Word of Mouth we talk all things television. First, Matt Zoller Seitz makes the case that Seinfeld was the original anti-hero. 7.14.14: TV Research And Delusions And An Undergarment Confession By Word of Mouth • Jul 14, 2014 dailyinvention via Flickr Creative Commons Underwear, television and delusion. No, not a David Sedaris essay. These are some of the topics we are exploring on today's Word of Mouth. Join us for an interview with psychiatrist Joe Gold about increasing prevalence of "Truman Show Delusions," wherein people believe their life to be an elaborate reality show. Then, we talk to NY Times TV critic, Neil Gezlinger, about why television might not be the brain melting fluff we have been taught to think. Plus, producer Taylor Quimby makes a startling confession about his undergarments. Also, birds are in our trees, on the beach and constantly in sight during the summer months, so we bring you two stories featuring these graceful creatures.

Recently a critic made the argument that Seinfeld not only transformed the sitcom but paved the way for television's anti-hero dramas. Plus, not even a month into summer, you may already be approaching capacity on grilled burgers and hot dogs. JM Hirsch, food editor for the Associated Press joins us to inject new ideas into the outdoor cooking season. And, a sneak peak of bands heading to western Massachusetts for this weekend's Green River Festival. Listen to the full show and Read more for individual segments.

Today we listen for the greatest TV opening sequences of all time. Plus, a look at a graphic novel that reveals the untold stories of African-American history…including that of Richard Potter, for whom the New Hampshire town of Potter Place is named. Then, tis the season for mosquitoes, black flies, and ticks. How are you preventing pesky bites? We sample the rainbow of bug repellant…from witch hazel to DEET.

From Lucille Ball to Kerry Washington, it is a challenge as old as, well, television. Listen to the segment here. We thought this was such a great topic that we decided to compile our own list of amusing TV/real life pregnancies. 2.19.14: Jeopardy, Law & Order, Sad YouTube, Sexism & Nick Fairall By Word of Mouth • Feb 19, 2014 Esther Vargas via flickr Creative Commons Today on Word of Mouth, we take a trip to the land of Trebek for a lesson on Jeopardy theory. And who doesn't love a good Netflix binge? But what if that Netflix binge takes a year and a half and covers 20 years worth of episodes? We hear from the man who watched 456 episodes of Law & Order to document the use of computers in the show. Next, we head over to Sad YouTube, a project meant to highlight humanity in a sea of negative YouTube comments. Our last two segments bring us back to reality. First, a look at sexism in the Philosophy department of University of Colorado-Boulder. And finally, NHPR's Amanda Loder visits the NH ski club of a US Olympian. Listen Listening... / 44:30 2.19.14: Jeopardy, Law & Order, Sad YouTube, Sexism & Nick Fairall Meet The Artist Who Was Commissioned To Watch 456 Episodes Of 'Law & Order' By Virginia Prescott & Sarah Thomas • Feb 19, 2014 The Perps Worst Nightmare via flickr Creative Commons In an effort to explore our cultural relationship with computer technology, artist Jeff Thompson watched 20 years worth of Law & Order – a total of 456 episodes – and documented when computers were used and how. The project was commissioned by the arts and technology organization Rhizome. Tech Trends To Look Forward To In 2014 By Virginia Prescott • Jan 2, 2014 Sony 50 years ago, inspired by the 1964 World's Fair, Isaac Asimov wrote an article for the New York Times envisioning what the world might look like in 2014. Among his predictions: "By 2014, electroluminescent panels will be in common use. ceilings and walls will glow softly, and in a variety of colors that will change at the touch of a push button. Gadgetry will continue to relieve mankind of tedious jobs. Breakfasts will be "ordered" the night before to be ready by a specified hour the next morning. Communications will become sight-sound and you will see as well as hear the person you telephone. The screen can be used not only to see the people you call but also for studying documents and photographs and reading passages from books." While we may not have "automeals," many of Asimov's predictions were remarkably prescient. Now that we have time on our side, let's discuss the technology forecast for 2014. Tech analyst and writer Tim Bajarin joins us. How Selling Out On TV Became Indie Rock's Saving Grace By Virginia Prescott • Nov 21, 2013 millerfarm via Flickr Creative Commons The relatively unknown song "Daylight" by Brooklyn-based band Matt and Kim was featured in a 2009 Bacardi commercial, and by the following year went gold, selling over 500 thousand copies and sweeping Matt and Kim into the mainstream. Not so long ago, selling your music to ad agencies was considered the lowest form of selling out, a sure-fire way to lose hard-core fans. Today many musicians see it as the only way to make a living. And fans, for the most part, seem to be turning a blind eye. The Real Life Walter White? By Virginia Prescott • Aug 7, 2013 via buzzfeed.com Breaking Bad follows a high school science teacher who cooks up meth with a former student, kicking off a fast slide into murder, extortion and unsavory partnerships as a bona fide drug lord. Too crazy to be true…right? Well, maybe not. In 2011, police in California arrested Stephen Kinzey; professor by day, outlaw biker and meth distributor by night. Kinzey has been out on bail since his initial arrest. The preliminary hearing to determine whether or not the case against him is strong enough to go to trial was scheduled for June, it's since been delayed. Natasha Vargas-Cooper wrote about the real-life Walter White for BuzzFeed, and took the time to talk with us. She's also a frequent contributor to The Atlantic, and The New York Times among others. Top 5 Characters That Got "Gender Swapped" By Molly Donahue • Jun 17, 2013 Battlestar Wiki After we explored the possibility of the next Doctor Who becoming a woman, we got to thinking about all the other characters we've come to love over the years that were supposed to be - or originally were - the opposite sex. We've compiled a list of the Top 5 Gender Swapped Characters. 5 Shows We Hate-Watched in 2012 By Rebecca Lavoie • Dec 19, 2012 random ideal via Flickr Creative Commons A new TV trend has emerged, "hate-watching," or staying true to shows that make you feel a little bit bad about yourself the morning. This year we found hate-watch blogs on TV Guide, The Root, and TV.com, among other places. We've also compiled our own list, curated by Senior Producer and resident television addict Rebecca Lavoie. Listen Listening... / 11:50 Are Re-Runs Good For You? Are Re-Runs Good For You? By Virginia Prescott & Taylor Quimby • Aug 29, 2012 dafyd via Flickr Creative Commons With the glut of content available on Netflix, cable, and even YouTube, summertime TV longer has the monopoly on re-runs. Well, a new study reveals that watching reruns doesn't only kill time. It may actually be good for you. Tom Jacobs is a science writer with Pacific Standard. Plus...we did a little man-on-the-street survey about re-runs, asking regular folks, "What show or movie can you watch over and over again?" The Upside of Piracy... By Virginia Prescott & Britta Conroy-Randall • May 14, 2012 (Photo by phreneticgamer via Flickr) TV is big right now. Premium channel series like Mad Men, Girls, and Game of Thrones are the stuff of water cooler and Twitter conversations, leaving those without access to cable in quandary…do they patiently await the iTunes, or Netflix release? Or give in, and illegally download fresh episodes? Even law-abiding viewers admitted to pirating Downton Abbey from British television before it made it to PBS. Shunned (Working Title) By Virginia Prescott • Apr 25, 2012 (Photo by Twinxamot via Flickr Creative Commons) These days, there's a reality TV show for every hobby, lifestyle, income bracket, family situation, and even religious persuasion. 'Awake': Can A Risky New Drama Break A Streak Of Bad Luck? By Neda Ulaby • Feb 20, 2012 This piece was not my idea. It was Linda Holmes'. If you're reading this blog, you probably share my regard for her take on popular culture. So my ears pricked up when she suggested I look into doing a radio piece on Kyle Killen. Books to get you through 'til Sunday By Virginia Prescott • Jan 26, 2012 Historian Simon Schama calls it another example of British television's "cultural necrophilia". Well then, bring out your dead…the Downton Abbey miniseries now airing Sunday nights on PBS has invigorated public television, revved up sales of cloche hats and maxi skirts, and has publishers scrambling to appeal to readers who devour period dramas.

When Hayden Panettiere was 16, a tabloid printed a photograph of the actress with "cellulite" plastered across her rear end. The experience stuck with the young star.
"I was mortified," the Nashville actress says in the October issue of Women's Health. "It gave me such body dysmorphia for so long. But I remember reminding myself that beauty is an opinion, not a fact. And it has always made me feel better."
These days, Panettiere attends Bikram yoga classes to keep her figure, and she loves eating healthy foods such as egg whites and strawberries, but she doesn't have any real dieting advice for fans or readers.
"Eating healthy is a constant battle. I love chips," she says. "I find when I'm overly concerned about what I eat, I stress out my body and put on weight."
Most importantly, however, Panettiere says she's changed her mindset instead of changing her menu options.
"People can tell when you're happy with being you and when you're not. It's only cheesy because it's true. As I've gotten older and grown into my body, I've started realizing that the way you carry yourself and that light coming out of your eyes are the most attractive things about you."
Whatever it is, Panettiere is doing something right. She's earned the 95th spot in our bikini photo countdown!

Unlocator Review
Unlocator is an innovative technical solution coming from Linkwork ApS, an excellent IT company based in Copenhagen, Denmark. It is a DNS service that can help you avoid any geographical restrictions anywhere in the world. In order to learn more about this top-notch DNS service, check out our informative Unlocator review.
Unlocator isn't the simplest online protection on the market, to be honest. The installation process takes a couple of minutes, but luckily for everyone who isn't tech-savvy, Unlocator provides detailed installation instruction for every operating system it can work with.
Once you install Unlocator on your device, you'll gain access to the simple client. The client itself looks like a good old Windows program with a calming combination of blue and gray. It's pretty easy to use, as all the features and options are easy to find. Just keep in mind that you'll need your API key in order to get the app working. After copying the API key to the client, you can choose the website you want to access, the region from which you want to connect to, and how often you want your IP address changed.
Performance And Reliability
Unlocator keeps you anonymous online and enables you to stream any show, movie or video you want. It masks your real IP address by covering it with one of its IP addresses. Unlocator operates numerous servers located all over the globe, which makes it easy to find an IP address that can provide you access to the desired website.
Since its main purpose is to allow you to stream your favorite shows effortlessly, Unlocator does its best to provide the greatest speed possible. Therefore, it doesn't burden your connection with unnecessary features like most VPN service providers do. Unlocator is focused on changing your IP address and does it silently in the back while you open various websites hassle-free.
While we were performing a trial run for our Unlocator review, we didn't notice any DNS leakage thanks to additional protection from DNS hijacking. In general, the overall performance was more than good.
Unlocator is compatible with almost any device that can connect to the Internet. Not only does it work on Windows, Mac, Android, iOS, and Ubuntu devices but also on SmartTVs, gaming consoles, media players, and routers.
Unlocator lets you bypass geo-blocks and access restricted websites and content no matter where you are. The best part is that Unlocator allows you to use it on as many devices as you want at the same time. A single subscription can cover all of your devices, as long as you use them from the same location.
Unlocator's biggest advantage is its extraordinary compatibility. It can protect every major platform, but its coverage range doesn't end there. Unlocator also works on numerous devices other DNS and VPN services don't typically cover in their offers.
You can install Unlocator on any computer, tablet or smartphone but also on Kindle, PS3, PS4, Wii, Xbox, PS Vita, and many other gaming consoles.
If you're a passionate TV lover, you'll be happy to find out that Unlocator can help you stream your favorite shows on SmartTVs such as Panasonic, Philips, LG, Samsung, Sony, Sharp, and Toshiba, as well as on GoogleTV. Moreover, it works on media players such as Nexus, Roku, Boxee, Chromecast, Apple TV, etc.
If you want to cover all of your devices at the same time, you can install Unlocator on your router and make sure every device that connects to your Wi-Fi network is protected.
In addition to great compatibility, Unlocator also gives you an opportunity to appear on several IP addresses at the same time and confuse prying eyes even more. Thanks to the number of servers it offers, you can appear to be from New Zealand, India or Brazil – or all of them simultaneously.
Security And Privacy
Unlocator DNS servers can be found on all continents, except Antarctica. You can choose to connect to a server in Argentina, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, Belgium, South Korea, Australia or any other of the 20+ world countries.
Unlocator doesn't only mask your IP address, it also changes masked IP addresses frequently. You can choose how often you want your IP address to be changed. Unlocator can automatically switch between servers every 15, 30, 60, 90, 120, 180, 240, 300 or 360 minutes. There's also an option to change the IP address manually whenever you want.
Unlocator is designed to work on Wi-Fi networks, but it doesn't mean that you can't activate it when you're using mobile Internet. In this case, you just need to use Smart VPN. When you change the settings on the Unlocator client, you can keep surfing the Internet freely on your mobile device.
Furthermore, Unlocator protects your online privacy with its strict no logs policy. In other words, it doesn't keep any traces of your online activities whatsoever.
Finally, Unlocator keeps your personal information safe even when you make payments. It accepts BitCoin, Sofort, and iDeal, which all work as mediators and don't provide the merchant with your personal info or bank card number.
Unlocator offers an excellent Support section on its website, which can be easily browsed thanks to a convenient search box on the top of the page. There's also a separate section providing installation guides for all platforms.
In case you have a common question about Unlocator, supported devices or payment methods, you can check out the informative FAQ section. On the other hand, if you can't find the information you need on the website, you can email customer support by filling out a form on the Unlocator website.
Pricing Options
Unlocator offers 3 paid plans and a free trial version. The free trial gives you an opportunity to use the app without limitations for one week and decide whether you want to upgrade to one of the paid plans.
If you opt for a paid plan, you can choose between the monthly, the 6-month, and the annual subscription. All subscriptions offer the same benefits, which include access to all Unlocator servers, Smart VPN, unlimited number of covered devices, etc.
The monthly subscription is $4.95, the 6-month plan costs $27.50, and the annual subscription costs $49.95. There's a 14-day money back guarantee in case you're not satisfied with the service provided.

Learn how converged infrastructure is enabling organizations to create better business economics and improved ROI.
Category Archives: All About Converged Architecture
Converged Infrastructure's Success Driving Interest in Hyper-converged Systems
More and more companies are gaining significant returns on investment from converged infrastructure, which takes a "building block" approach to networking, compute and storage systems as well as a centralized approach to management. Gartner predicts that hyper-converged infrastructure—which the analyst firm sees as the third wave in integrated systems–will see a huge upswing in adoption in the next five years.
Converged Architecture is a Long-Term Investment
These days, it is not unusual for a physical server to have an operational lifespan of a decade or more. So, when it comes to configuring servers, the present and the future must be kept in mind.
The Future of Converged Infrastructure Is Bright—for All Stakeholders
There are many who say that converged infrastructure is the future of the data center, but what's the future of converged infrastructure?
Policy Makeovers for Converged Environments
While the benefits of converged infrastructure are undeniable, so too are the changes this type of infrastructure can cause to a typical data center. No longer, for example, does IT staff have to spend weeks collecting requirements, sizing, planning, procuring equipment, deploying and testing when servicing a new application or requirements. Instead, the process is streamlined and much faster.

This is really getting real.
Japan has been destroyed again.
The Nikkei fell 5% last night, relative to Wednesday's close.
This follows last Thursday's big 7% crash, and several weak days in the meantime.
Remember, Japan had been on an extraordinary run starting last fall, thanks to "Abenomics", the new aggressive stimulus campaign of the new Prime Minister. But lately things have just been a disaster market wise.
Among the concerns, a sharp rise in bond yields, that some fear could undermine the whole thing.
As you can see on this Nikkei futures chart, the market is only back to where it was at the end of April, which still means it's had an incredible run. Still that is a startling dropoff.

mobileStorm Inc.
Company Description
It's not just a phone anymore!
It's been said that the last "just mobile phone" was the Motorola RAZR and aside from basic models still being offered from some services, that's true. These devices are hand held computers with a focus on lifestyle and social applications. It's no longer just about calling your mom from the car — it's about SMS, GPS and a raft of features and software which make today's cell phones more related to Star Trek's Tri-Corder than anything Alexander G. Bell ever thought up. It's also about opportunities to reach people with your message via mobile advertising!
According to CMO.com: 40% of iPhone/iTouch users access the internet more on their mobile than their desktop (Nielsen). In fact, U.S. mobile internet traffic across all handsets is now estimated between one third and one half that of wired internet traffic, making the mobile phone increasingly not the "third screen" but, increasingly, the first. A prime opportunity for SMS and mobile advertising!
Technology convergence doesn't happen with the sound of a starters pistol. It happens while we are busy doing other things, quietly and via a succession of innovations which bring applications people find convenient and useful into one handy device. Once consumers adopt the technology the momentum increases almost exponentially and marketers can find themselves caught unprepared and miss opportunities.

How to Choose an SMS Provider
Don't Just Survive in Mobile, Thrive in Mobile
The time has come for your business to introduce or enhance its mobile marketing and digital marketing functionality. The directive has been given to integrate a SMS provider into your email and overall marketing strategy. Now what?
You've searched the internet, you've scoured provider websites and all you have to show for it is a laundry list of "Favorite" links and notepad scribbles that no longer make sense. How do you make the final decision for your company, based on your specific mobile marketing and digital marketing needs?
The answer is simple. Read this.
This 30-Point Vendor Selection process will provide immeasurable assistance with the following:
- What criteria are you looking for in a mobile partner?
- Expertise in mobile marketing. You may be impressed that the tech person knows the platform inside and out, isn't that their job? If they do not also understand the marketing aspects, it cannot be called EXPERTISE.
- Does this vendor understand and vigorously follow SMS best practices?
- Does the technology meet your marketing needs and your long term business objectives?
- How to start with a structured pilot program to test your ideas before jumping in head first.
- Will you have access to a person who can help? A real person that answers the phone. A real person that may offer more than just a simple answer, if that is what you need.

Entries in Hebei (1)
All eyes on Hebei Province, China as mystery illness provokes government action
Sharon Sanders and the posters at Flutrackers are reporting some pretty weird events in Hebai Province, China. First, let's locate Hebei on the map.
A series of seemingly disassociated events, when viewed at a higher level (as Sharon has done in her Flutracker posts), paints a picture of Hebei as in some sort of state of emergency (my words). Shops closed by force. People required to wear masks. A thousand police officers dispatched to maintain discipline. And, in the most stark post yet, occupancy at the regional hospital exceeding 100% and an isolation ward erected.
Official (meaning government) reports coming from the region speak of the virus actually being Adenovirus 55, and not the dreaded (and rumored) SARS virus. We know the Case Fatality Rate from SARS hovered, eventually, around 10% of the sick. A hospital filled with a thousand sick would produce at least a hundred dead, if the virus were SARS. Rumors and slim media accounts seem to converge on just one person dead so far.
What we know of Adenovirus 55 is limited, but growing. A paper that was published in 2009speaks of the first (and until now, last) major outbreak of Ad55. Ad55 will produce some serious respiratory distress, but blessedly, only one death in 254 infected Chinese students in Shaanxi Province, China. Here's the map showing the location of Shaanxi:
As you see, Shaanxi is two provinces over from Hebei. I do not think it would be much of a stretch to say that this entire region may want to re-evaluate all its respiratory distress cases and outbreaks since 2005 to see if Ad55, instead of flu, could be an explanation.
Of course, what fascinates me is that China was able to come up with a positive diagnosis of Ad55 so quickly. Long-time readers of this Blog (if I still have any!) know that I have been campaigning for testing for Ad14, which has a long and ugly reputation in military bases all over America, and hospitals in the Pacific Northwest. As the medical report from 2009 attests, a "tsunami" (their words) of genetic information relative to Adenovirus is pouring in to researchers. Good! Maybe we will begin to take Adenovirus more seriously.
In the meantime, it is also interesting to see what lengths the Chinese government will go to try to isolate anything that even remotely resembles SARS. The government's zeal to prevent or mitigate the spread of an infectious disease is "disconcertingly refreshing." Feel free to use that phrase. It is troubling, no doubt, to see government trucks rolling into a province, and that has to evoke bad memories for the residents. From a global perspective, however, and especially in light of the aftereffects of the film "Contagion," any attempt to contain a pathogen and prevent it from spreading is appreciated, as long as the actions are 1) justified, 2) non-lethal, and 3) abandoned, once the pathogen is proved to be relatively harmless.

Progress on prerelease
2:55pm EST - Quicker than expected, the client update just hit! Updating our servers now...
2:50pm EST - The server update and devblog are live, however, the client update has not hit yet (thank you steam summer sale!). Follow @Rustafied to get notified when the update hits.
1:00pm EST - Our update stream is live!
12:42pm EST - The update is not quite live yet, however, double click crafting has been added to prerelease, awesome! Stay tuned for our update stream shortly...
12:00am EST - Another week of Rust development, and one week closer to the launch of the XP system! As expected, we're not seeing a ton of new things hitting the main branch today - most of the focus is on prerelease in preparation for the July 7th launch.
Our update stream will go live at 1pm EST today (we keep changing start times, I know...) and follow @Rustafied for news throughout the day. Let's get into it...
Item Ownership
Helk has been hacking away at item ownership. Functionally almost ready to go, this new concept of owning tools and even resources stands to change the way you look at every item in the game.
As I chatted with him earlier, Helk shared the bigger picture of how this'll start to shift earning XP away from simply harvesting and more towards the actual items being used. Long and short: It's a big pyramid scheme. Little bits of ownership, split between possibly many little pies - all trickling down to the various parties involved. Sound confusing? Don't worry, it'll soon become a bit more clear.
Expect a more detailed explanation (with some numbers and shit) from Helk in the devblog and stay tuned here for more information as this new feature launches.
Hud changes
Garry has been on a UI frenzy this week - reworking a ton of things with the hud for the XP and crafting menus. Along with modifying the level / XP status bars to make more sense, he's added a helpful display for upcoming unlocks. Also, locked items now show up each category view. Here are some screens...
Menu changes
Garry didn't stop there, he's also retooled the options menu so it doesn't "look like a hairy bag of dicks." Not only does it look better, some handy tooltips have been added to clarify what options do. Check it out:
We can craft rocks!
At long last, you're not completely fucked if you accidentally toss your rock in the grass - they can now be crafted. This most basic of melee weapons and gathering tools costs a meager 10 stones and crafts in 1 second. Available to be crafted at level 1, you won't need to unlock this blueprint.
Keep in mind, as with pretty much everything this week, this change was added to the prerelease branch, so unless you're already playing on there, it'll be July 7th before you craft any rocks.
Other things
The team has also completed a ton of miscellaneous changes, here are some highlights:
- Rock hit speed is much faster
- Some shader updates and water tweaks (shits looking nice)
- Motion blur (nauseous mode) is back (and can be turned off in the swanky new options menus)
- Line of sight fixes for caves
- Fixed glowing eyelashes
- Dragging items makes the icon bigger
- More aim throwing progress (not ready to launch yet, though)
- Some new dungeon textures (no visual yet, expect closer to the forced wipe)
- EAC has been updated
- Cleaned up some benchmark stuff (and added benchmark for Barren map)
- Some tweaks to help people from getting stuck on building blocked (known bug)
- Fixed rockets traveling through chain link fences instead of detonating
- Alex is working on more music! Tune into the devblog for some samples.

Everton-Sunderland Preview
The Stadium of Light will host a game that could have huge repercussions at both ends of the table Saturday when Sunderland play Everton.
Gus Poyet's Sunderland (6-7-18) are bottom of the league, seven points from safety with just seven games remaining. The Black Cats have picked up just a single point since the first week of February, seeing them slip into a perilous position despite having games in hand over many of the teams above them.
"It is really, really difficult now but we still believe," said defender Carlos Cuellar, who is set to return from injury for the game. "We have too many games to give up on survival. We have teams down near us still to play and we have to take some hope from that. It is too early to say or think we are relegated. We keep fighting.
"We must try and clear our minds of the last few weeks and get back to the performances at the start of the year when we were playing well. If we play the same as we did then, we can be okay."
Roberto Martinez's Everton (18-9-5) impressed in a 3-0 win over Arsenal a week ago – a result that leaves them just one point behind the Gunners in the race for Champions League qualification. In the aftermath of the victory at Goodison Park, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger criticized the Toffees for their use of the loan system – with Romelu Lukaku (Chelsea) and Gareth Barry (Manchester City) playing big roles in the game – but Martinez was keen to dismiss Wenger's comments ahead of the trip to Sunderland.
"To criticise us is ridiculous," said the Everton boss. "It would be the same as criticising us for developing a lot of young players, and giving them a chance, which is what we have done this season.
"The loan system is something that has to be part of the game. We have seven players ourselves out on loan and you need to develop young players. It's just a question of finding a loan system that works. It has got its pros and cons – but from our point of view it works.
"And remember, no loan player would be a success unless you had a strong core group of players, which is what we have here. People forget that."
Sunderland have injury doubts over Steven Fletcher (ankle) and Kieren Westwood (shoulder), while Everton have concerns over the fitness of Leon Osman (eye) and Steven Pienaar (knee), and are expected to be without Phil Jagielka (hamstring), Lacina Traore (hamstring), Bryan Oviedo (broken leg), Darron Gibson (knee) and Arouna Kone (knee).
The last meeting between these teams was Everton's only home defeat – with Sunderland running out 1-0 winners at Goodison Park on Boxing Day. The Toffees had goalkeeper Tim Howard sent off after 23 minutes, yet still dominated possession and managed 25 attempts on goal.
That result made it back-to-back league wins for Sunderland over Everton following a run of 15 straight matches without victory against the Merseyside club.

He was an "alternative" rock innovator years before the genre was officially tagged. Ernie Brooks is that rare bassist who can effortlessly move from in-the-pocket to contrapuntal to improvisational to experimental – sometimes within the same composition! Mr. Brooks made (belated) history as a founding member (with future Talking Head Jerry Harrison) in one of rock's most influential ensembles: The Modern Lovers, by way of their seminal self-titled debut as produced by John Cale.
Though that record hit the shelves nearly five years after it was waxed, it was, and still is, ahead of its time. Rendering bass passages that groove, weave through a melody, and consequently push a composition, Brooks has distinguished himself as a long-time collaborator on stage and on record with Elliott Murphy.
Ernie also contributed to essential sides by David Johansen (Here Comes the Night - 1981), and Jerry Harrison (Walk on Water - 1990) among many others.
Ernie Brooks continues to ply his bass artistry with Murphy, Gods and Monsters, and Peter Zummo, to cite a select few.

An Empirical Examination of Universal Jurisdiction for Piracy
American Journal of International Law, Vol. 104
Northwestern Public Law Research Paper No. 09-26
58 Pages Posted: 8 Dec 2009 Last revised: 5 Dec 2010
Date Written: March 1, 2010
This Essay presents the first systematic empirical study of the incidence of universal jurisdiction prosecutions over an international crime. Using data on the number of piracies committed in a twelve year period (1998-2009) obtained from international agencies and maritime industry groups, we determine the percentage of acts of piracy where nations prosecuted under universal jurisdiction we determine the percentage of these cases where nations exercised UJ. Studies of the worldwide use of UJ over other crimes simply count how often UJ has been exercised, but do not attempt to determine the rate of prosecution.
We find that of all clearly universally punishable piracies, international prosecution occurs in no more than 1.47% of cases. This includes the unprecedented international response to the Somali piracy surge that began in 2008, which accounts for the vast majority of cases. Under normal circumstances (prior to 2008) nations used UJ, a doctrine that arose precisely to deal with piracy, in a negligible fraction of cases (no more than 0.53%, a total of four cases). Another interesting finding is that the nations that apply international criminal law to pirates are quite different from those that use it for other offenses.
Measuring the willingness of nations to exercise universal jurisdiction over human rights offense poses major challenges. Because universal jurisdiction broadly covers torture, war crimes, and other abuses, the number of universally cognizable crimes that go unprosecuted may be quite high. One cannot estimate the universe of possible cases with any precision, and thus cannot determine the frequency of UJ prosecutions in relation to the possible occasions for its use. Piracy, the original and paradigmatic universal jurisdiction crime, provides a unique opportunity to study the implementation of universal jurisdiction in a way that avoids this "denominator problem." Excellent data exists on the actual number of pirate attacks. We examine records of thousands of piracy incidents to determine the number of potential universal jurisdiction cases. The results show that under normal circumstances, nations use universal jurisdiction against a tiny fraction of piracies.

Two Ways: Oil Prices Down the Well?
Strengthen your portfolio in good times and bad.
Chevron Sees Tough Fourth Quarter
Oil stocks could see some pressure this morning. Chevron (CVX) warned late Thursday that net income for its fiscal first quarter would be sharply lower than fourth quarter 2008. According to the Wall Street Journal, the second largest US oil company blamed lower crude and natural gas prices, as well as weak refining margins.
The company, which will take $100 million in writeoffs related to exploration activity and as much as $350 million in charges associated with corporate and other activities, reports official results on May 1.
For another perspective on oil, see Op-Ed: Carpe Peak Oil.
From the Bull Pen: For the bulls that see higher oil prices in the future, the weakness in Chevron may be an opportunity. One can enter an initial position near $66 support with a sell stop 2% below that level.
From the Bear Cave: If you're in the camp that crude prices will continue to suffer, consider a downside play in the Oil ETF (USO); a buy stop can be set above $32 resistance.

Conversation monitoring tools are really pretty amazing. If you load them up with the right keywords, they can tell you everything that's being talked about regarding those subjects. And the best tools will even pipeline those conversations to the appropriate people within your organization for response.
But that's where the effectiveness of these tools end.
No matter how good your monitoring tools are, no matter how many alerts they provide and no matter how effectively they funnel tasks for action, the actual choices about how, when and even if an interaction is warranted comes down to the flawed impressions of a person or group of people. The best tools can help a bit with evaluating, but in the end the decision how to act is human. And finding a balance here is both crucial and troublesome.
I was struck by this balance this morning when The BeanCast marketing podcast was mentioned in a comment to a post. My usual mode is to thank a blogger for mentioning the show. But in this case, the blogger had accidentally forgotten to mention me in his list and a reader had reminded him of my show. The blogger in turn replied back saying that he had forgotten to list the program and that he loved our show.
But as I was getting ready to respond, I realized that my work had already been done by a listener. People were having a conversation about my show. That's what I want.
I love when people plug the show and I always try to turn that into a conversation, but people were already having the kind of conversation I coveted. My involvement would have been superfluous — possibly even damaging to that conversation. So I stopped myself and just enjoyed the moment.
Too many brands still use monitoring as a magic trick. I've complained about this before. Responding has become almost a badge of honor that says, "We get it!" But when people are already conversing and you interrupt them, that doesn't say you get anything. Sometimes it just says that you're rude. At least that's what MY parents told me.
Nestle found this out the hard way recently. Many more brands will find this out soon as well — and tools won't show you the way. Only wisdom, experience and training can offer these kinds of insights. So when you set up your tasking priorities for conversation monitoring, also be thinking about who you are tasking to respond, right along side what you are asking them to respond to. Because social is still about people and relationships, and the rules of real-life social engagement still apply in a digital setting.

I've got to conserve battery power. I've been lucky with electricity so far.
We haven't seen a building in days that wasn't either on fire or burnt up. After I took this pic someone started yelling at me to get the hell away from the water. I saw something moving in it and everyone with guns started shooting in the water. I didn't see what we were aiming at, but a lot of blood came up. Some guys showed up with more ammo, but we only have enough food for about one crappy meal a day now. I know I was kidding about zombies before, but, there are people who actually believe that. Like, we're running from real zombies. I think I might have seen a face or two under that water, but I don't know if that's just me dreaming stuff up to go with these crazy stories.

There are some brides that come into the boutique and look stunning in absolutely everything, but there is one dress that you secretly hope they choose because it suits them so much that it will forever be 'Carries Dress'. "Bianca" from Blush by Hayley Paige was made for Carrie and we are so glad that when we reached out she was thrilled to share her day with us!
Name: Carrie Amborski
Dress: Blush by Hayley Paige "Bianca"
Venue: Nestleton Waters Inn
Photographer: Magnolia Studios
How did you and your hubby meet?
"Mike and I met in a real estate finance class doing our MBA - he tried to flirt by telling me I was sitting in his seat, and I was offended. I got over it pretty quickly and a few months later he finally asked me on a date. The rest is history :)"
What was your favourite part of your wedding?
Our recessional. It's hard to describe what we were feeling but some of the pictures capture it. "We were just over the moon happy and these were some of the best seconds of our lives. Another epic moment: After our introduction into the reception, the MC and her twin sister, both bridesmaids, sang our love story to Journey's "Don't Stop Believing" we had no idea that they were going to do that and it was so hilarious - arguably better than the original."
His favourite part?
"Carrie walking down the aisle - no brainer!!!"
Any tips for future TMB brides?
"For dress shopping, relax and let yourself enjoy it! If you've found your way to TMB then know you're in good hands and any dress you pick is going to be gorgeous. And don't worry if you don't cry! I didn't and I LOVED my dress. For wedding planning in general, don't lose sight of what the day is ultimately about! Whenever I got stressed with the minutiae of planning I came back to this and I knew as long as we had a place to get married and someone to marry us, everything else would be ok."
She even shared her thoughts on being a TMB bride right after she tied the knot!
"I just wanted to send a note of thanks for making the entire process of dress buying so relaxed and fun. Your store is so beautiful and I'm so glad I made the decision to buy my dress at The Modern Bride. Every drive from Toronto to Guelph was worth it and I would recommend The Modern Bride to any bride in the GTA - your carefully curated selection of wedding gowns together with your amazing (and low-pressure) service and serene atmosphere create the perfect setting to find a dream dress."
We are so thrilled that Carrie shared these photos with us! We are over the moon for both this couple and wish them every happiness as they navigate this life together! Congratulations Carrie & Mike!

Stories Con Georgie
World, meet my boyfriend. Boyfriend, meet the world.
Stories Con Georgie
Well, it was brought to my attention recently that my older sista, Georgina aka "Gorge", is a geek. Here are a few stories I'd like to share about this fine individual....
To see a picture of Georgie in all her goony-ness,
click here.
The setting is my bedroom during the winter break of Georgina's junior year of college. I have bunk beds and the spare bedroom was a mess so I got the privilege of having Gorge stay in my room during this time. Well, the first few days she was home, I still had school and I needed my sleep. So I sleep on the top bunk and she sleeps on the bottom bunk. Well, neither of those happened because every time I would be somewhat close to falling asleep, Georgina would be right on the task of keeping me awake by telling "college stories." Now, I wanted to sleep, but these stories were frickin funny and I didn't want to miss them. So I didn't sleep. But finally she stopped talking at around 1:00 AM. I fall asleep to be woken up by noises at around 2:30. I look around me and what do I see? Georgina using a flashlight and going through all my letters and drawers at my desk. That girl is a p-s-y-c-h-o.
Georgina is one fine driver, let me tell you. One time she managed to be driving and hit the side of my house, breaking the side view mirror and then proceeded to hit the other car. Niiiiice.
UPDATE: So, I managed to hit my house as well.... so technically I can't really bash her about it anymore. But I still will.
One summer, Georgina, myself and my kid sister, Kathleen went to stay with my grandparents in Pennsylvania for a week. The first night we got there, my grandma had prepared a very nice meal complete with stuffed shells. Now my grandma is an excellent cook, but those shells are big. Yet Georgina managed to swallow 13 of those bad boys..the rest of us ate around 4....hmmm....
Last New Year's Eve, Georgina told all her friends that she was going partying and the likes, but really she wasn't. I had a party to go to but when I found out she was going to the movies with Kathleen and her friend, I wanted to go to the movies too. So, we get there and the movies are closed. We go to Hollywood Video and rent a few video cassette tapes. Then I realize that I have an NSYNC camera with me and we decide to have some fun. We go cruisin' in the mini van and go to the somewhat wealthier part of town and make snow angels in random peoples yards.
When Georgina was younger, she had a kind of funny, yet bad habit. Now as I am younger than her, I was not alive to witness this, but the stories have lived on to this day. This story begins with her opening a window. Yes, a window. And climbing out of it. And sitting on the roof. Well, one time my neighbors across the street saw her and my other older sister, Christina doing this and called my parents who were downstairs. So Georgina climbs back in and closes the window on Christina who is now stuck on the roof. Georgina is such a loving sister, always thinking about others before herself.
Georgina played basketball in high school and there is one game that I recall wonderfully. I was sitting in the bleachers and she was lined up for a foul shot. So she's in that bent down kind of crouching position. Well, our team has white shorts....and Georgina wore like, blue and green polka dot underwear that you could see beautifully. It was hilarious.
(She told me that I made this story up, but I know I didn't. I remember it so well I could tell you where I was sitting.....Believe me GK, it happened.)
Georgie is graduating from school this May. I think she majored in History or something fun like that. My mom wants her to go to graduate school to be a gym teacher. So, if anyone knows of any librarian openings, IM her at
OK. Here's the conversation we had last night. I don't know how this got started, or why we continued having the conversation, but we did. Oh my oh my. Don't ever EVER discuss sex with your older sister. Its funny, but not good. You end up sharing and having things shared with you that are not good.
Basically before this we were discussing "bases" and what "base" we've gotten to with what guys...
Her: Have you given head?
me: What?
her: Don't... its not good. I mean, its not natural.
me: Well, cheese in a can isn't natural, but that's good.
her: (laughing hard) I can't believe you just compared sucking a guys dick to cheese in a can.
So, my little sister went to visit Georgina at college. And she came home looking like a rabid raccoon attacked her face. I'm scared to visit her now for fear that I may not make it back alive. Basically she's really scraped up and she broke two teeth... niiiiiiice.
Every night is like a the first night at camp. Georgie and I share MY room now that she's home and every night before we go to sleep, we just tell funny stories and laugh. Then I say, "Are you going Polar Bearing tomorrow morning?' She says yes, and I say OK. Then we go to sleep.
Ever since that first sex conversation, the topic comes up a lot. It needs to not come up anymore. Seriously, all you brothers and sisters out there, NEVER talk to your siblings about anything of a sexual nature. Ever.
UPDATE: I'm going to Chicago with Georgina over spring break next week. So I'm sure I'll have a few stories after that. Check back, check often.


text: I came out of fake flier retirement once again and made yet another fake flier for Reddit. Flier #7 to be exact. Once again it put the crush down and made the front page of Reddit. Like a true Internet player. In 24 hours the flier received about 574,000 views on da imgur. Not as strong as the 'Bronies Vs. Juggalo's' flier but still pretty damn strong. I just can't believe these fake fliers continue to still make the front page of Reddit.

Hubby and I popped down to Cambois beach and Blyth Harbour yesterday to try and get a few pictures for his flickr site and do a bit of birding at the same time. I have just found out that Snow Buntings were at the other side of the harbour...bloody hell I missed them.
Anyway the weather was ok when we started off and saw some Eider Ducks being sensible and staying close to shore, a couple of Cormorants flew over and loads of Gulls were dotted here and there. On the rocks closer to the Harbour Oystercatcher and Redshank were scratching about for food and Sanderlings were spotted running in and around the water line. Pippits were seen on the dunes trying to take shelter from the snow that was starting to fall. To my delight a Turnstone was spotted and also a Heron. On the way back to the car a couple of Curlew had joined the Oystercatcher and Redshanks. The snow storm cleared for a couple of shots for hubby's flickr but as my eye balls were almost frozen I headed back to the car.
Not many garden birds seen today a couple of Starlings, Dunnock and Sparrow. A Magpie popped into say hello and a Blackbird stopped by for some bread. Feeders are starting to get a bit of attention and some squabbling broke out over the fatballs. Hopefully the snow will thaw soon.....not really likely though.

Robert Mueller Named Special Counsel For Russia Investigation
The first thing I want to say is this Trump Presidency is going to generate a collection of great books along with a great movie in the future. The Justice Department is appointing Robert Mueller to oversee the investigation between Trump and Russia.
Former FBI director Robert Mueller is held in high regard and I have doubt he lives up to his reputation. At this point, The Justice Department better find some hard evidence about Trump having ties with Russia. As an American and tax paying citizen, I am ready to put the focus on real issues. I am not saying a US president having ties with Russia is not a real issue, but there are things going on in America that I wouldn't mind getting the same amount of attention and focus.
I just don't get the idea of trying this hard to impeach someone where his successor, Mike Pence might be WORSE(yes this means I am screaming).
Things I think America should be focusing on. How about getting someone to Special counsel these issues.
- Education System
- Terrorism
- Criminal Justice Reform
- Healthcare
- North Korea
- environmental sustainability
- Unemployment
- Gun Violence
- 2020 Presidential Candidates
All of this Trump's tax return and Russia stuff feels like a distraction. Whether they find evidence or not I just want this to be over and done with. Let's get to work on American issues.

While everyone seems to be enamored with the "thermodynamics of thaumaturgic mammaries" I mst say many are not abreast of true origin of this term. It is clearly early 20th Century and emanates from the Mid-Western United States. The term was in original form "Cold as Witches' Tit" which is a town up in the mountains of ( I believe, Montana; it shoulders the border so you may find reference in two states)-the town called Witches' t i t which on the early travel routes was known to reach temperatures in storms, ice, snow and wind of > 20 degrees below zero and because the traveler's reference point for "tue coldness". The bastardizaton of the term to "...as a..." can be found only in passing reference in the Salem Journals circa 1938, strangly enough around Halloween. 'nuf said!!

Reading time ~4 minutes
The "Enable Network Proxy Caching option" ensures quick and safe rundown broadcasting. Having configured the Network Proxy Caching option, the Cinegy Playout engine will automatically start background rendering and encoding process of creating a local cache copy for remote footages. Using smart caching algorithm, via the corresponding settings it takes into account the time of the material to be on air and the amount of space assigned to this local cache. Once the chunks for playlist items are played out, the Cinegy Playout engine automatically deletes them, unless they are not included to the playlist in the nearest time, replacing the deleted chunks with newly generated ones.
If this option is selected, only the most recent items will be played from their original location, and the rest of the rundown items will be played from the local proxy media folder. Thus, even if you immediately start playing the item, only its beginning will be played out from the remote footage. The item will be played out from the local cache on condition that there is enough computing power/performance for real-time or prior local cache creation and timely local chunk generation. In case a playlist has enough proxied material stored in the local cache, the Playout engine will still continue playback even if the access to the original clips is missing.
The proxy caching is configurable via "Proxy" tab:
|The item proxying feature requires a dedicated license.
To set proxy configuration, you should:
Set the proxy folder path.
Set the proxy folder size limit.
|Leave at least 25% free space on volume for proxy to ensure stable work and smooth performance.
Advanced Settings
The following settings are available here:
Proxy rendering preset – choose one of the following proxy rendering presets: Best performance, High quality or Uncompressed.
Read threads – define the number of proxy threads from 1 to 32.
Buffers – define the number of proxy buffers from 1 to 16.
Proxy Throttling
The \"Throttle speed to <number>% of realtime" option is used to set the proxy speed limit. As a result CPU usage will be decreased by increasing proxy time.
|Please note that if the proxy speed does not exceed the defined limit, throttling will not work.
The real time value depends on the current TV format frame rate. For example, PAL format frame rate is 25 fps. If you set the 1000% speed limit (250 fps) and the engine attempts to proxy the material at a speed over 250 fps, the time breaks will be added to the proxy process.
The minimal time of one chunk proxying for PAL format is:
100% of real time is 1000/25 = 40000 ms
200% of real time is 1000/50 = 20000 ms
Quality Degradation
A clip may contain media in three qualities: high, medium, and low. Only high media quality is used for proxying. If for some reason the high quality becomes unavailable, proxy files are not created for this clip. If the "Enable quality degradation" option is selected, the highest available quality (medium or low) of the clip will be proxied.
If a clip has been proxied with quality degradation while the high quality proxy files are needed, it can be reproxied via the "Drop proxy" command in Cinegy Air and Cinegy Studio.
Use GPU
Check the "Use GPU" option to activate GPU acceleration in order to speed up items proxying.
|Please note that the system default CUDA board will be used for GPU acceleration.
Default Settings
Press the "Reset to defaults" button to restore the default proxy settings.
To find out whether Cinegy Playout is playing the original media or its proxy copy, you can stamp the frames once they are rendered by creating a "StampProxyFrames" parameter with value set to "1" in the following Windows registry key:
if Instance 0 is used – HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Cinegy LLC\PlayOutEx
if Instance 1 is used – HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Cinegy LLC\PlayOutEx.1
Frames being read from the proxy folder are marked with color boxes:
