ALL LIBRARY LOCATIONS CLOSED FOR THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY NOV. 27 and 28Nov 28 (all-day)
All Arlington Public Library locations are closed Thursday, Nov. 27, and Friday, Nov. 28 for the Thanksgiving holiday.
Library locations will be open on a regular schedule on Saturday, Nov. 29.
Alex Braden: Sound Installation–CherrydaleNov 29 (all-day)
Piece and Quiet
True quiet is a near impossible experience.
Even in anechoic chambers—soundproofed spaces designed to eliminate echoes—the sound of breathing or a heartbeat can seem louder than a passing freight train. And when we try to create a silent haven (such as at a library), we start noticing softer sounds that we might not have otherwise heard.
The sounds you will hear in Alexander Braden's sound installation "Piece and Quiet" were recorded around Arlington County over a period of a few days in September, 2014. They are woven together into a subtle composition that will play quietly on loop, broadcast over eight speakers, each playing a unique part of the soundscape.
With "Piece and Quiet," Braden invites you to enter the Library, listen, and discover:
- Nov. 22 – Westover Branch Library
- Nov. 29 – Cherrydale Branch Library
- Dec. 6 – Central Library
- Dec. 13 – Shirlington Branch Library

In "Collecting Shakespeare," Stephen H. Grant recounts the unusual American success story of Henry and Emily Folger of Brooklyn, a couple who were devoted to each other, in love with Shakespeare, and bitten by the collecting bug. Shortly after marrying in 1885, the Folgers started buying, cataloging, and storing all manner of items about Shakespeare and his era.
The frugal couple worked passionately as a tight-knit team during the Gilded Age, financing their hobby with the fortune Henry earned as president of Standard Oil Company of New York, where he was a trusted associate of John D. Rockefeller Sr.

Adele Cancels Remaining Dates of U.S. Tour
In a statement released Friday, the 'Rolling in the Deep' singer said she is "really frustrated" but "there is absolutely nothing I an do but take the doctor's advice and rest some more."
Adele pulled out of a show in Salt Lake City on May 29 on short notice, before postponing gigs in Vancouver, Seattle and Portland. Her tour was set to resume in San Francisco on June 4.
After canceling shows last week, she posted the following on her blog: "I hate to cancel, especially at such short notice. I am truly devastated. I'm here in the city and tried to do sound check at the venue, but if I push through it tonight, it'll take me longer to get better and more shows may need cancelling. Please forgive me!"
Adele's sophomore album, '21,' is the best-selling album of the year--selling close to two million units in America. And her single, 'Rolling In the Deep,' is currently No. 1 on Billboard's Hot 100 charts.

1 of 10
Crocus (Vernus ssp. vernus)Crocuses are especially gratifying for gardeners winter-starved for color. Usually associated with the purple and gold chalices that appear amid the last snowdrifts, crocus blossoms actually range from substantial to dainty and come in a variety of tones. Certain crocuses also bloom in the fall. More About Crocuses
2 of 10
Tree Peony (Paeonia Burgundy Wine)With their perfume, sensual blossoms and rough brown bark, tree peonies are a study in contrast: the garden's largest, most glorious flowers paired with one of its most rugged shrubs. Though its native to dry, chilly mountainsides in China, the very adaptable plant can flourish throughout much of the United States. More About Tree Peonies
3 of 10
Yellow Magnolia (Magnolia x Elizabeth)There's something extraordinary about a magnolia no matter what its color, but yellow ones are particularly appealing -- much less common than their white, pink, or purple cousins. When the tree or shrub's buttery flowers burst forth before the new leaves unfurl, it's as if the sun has come right down to earth, banishing winter forever. More About Yellow Magnolias
4 of 10
Lilac (Syringa vulgaris Glory)Fragrant lilacs are incredibly sturdy and undemanding. Given plenty of sun and well-drained soil, they'll thrive with relatively little care. More About Lilacs
5 of 10
Lavender (Lavendula Angustifolia Twickle Purple)Lavender gives any sunny garden bed a silver gleam, and its spiked purple flowers exude a fresh scent. What's more, it requires little water or fertilizer to thrive. More About Lavender
6 of 10
Phlox (Phlox paniculata Katherine)For those who appreciate fresh flowers all summer long, phlox is an essential. In July, just when most other blossoms fade, phlox reinvigorates the garden with new splashes of color. More About Phlox
7 of 10
Climbing Rose (Rosa Blaze)Climbing roses are exceptionally versatile. The extra length and pliability of their canes make them a dramatic covering for rock walls and fences, and they furnish living architecture when trained on trellises and arbors. Certain varieties bloom repeatedly from spring through fall, offering many months of their powdery, romantic scent. More About Climbing Roses
8 of 10
Daylily (Hermocallis Chicago Peach)Daylilies are a species to be enjoyed one by one. On most plants, each flower opens for a single day; blooms pop open, one after the other, during a three-week show. More About Daylilies
9 of 10
Marigold (Tagetes patula Yellow Boy)Marigolds don't always get the credit they deserve, perhaps because they're commonly associated with roadside and gas-station planters. But practically nothing's easier to grow than marigolds. More About Marigolds
10 of 10
Hosta (Hosta Pacific Blue Edger)Although hostas also produce graceful and sometimes fragrant flowers, they are prized primarily for their foliage and their ability to thrive in shade. The leafy plant is low maintenance, exceptionally long-lived, and a real workhorse at camouflaging what might otherwise be glaring holes in a garden. More About Hostas

Long distance relationship
Find a Conversation
|Tue, 07-12-2011 - 6:53pm
My fiance is working abroad for the summer (2 months) and has limited communication.
|Tue, 07-12-2011 - 9:41pm
You know two months really isn't that long a time if you look at it in the scheme of things.
|Tue, 07-12-2011 - 10:56pm
Unfortunately email isn't an option..as for planning times when he calls that's almost impossible , I usuall get a window of two days and the time he calls always varies- so no predictablilty there. In a world with all this technology where you get almost instant correspondance it is very easy to get spoiled with having the technology to talk, text, videochat, email etc to get in contact with people. I guess it's just hard and very different when what i knew as standard technology is taken away.
|Wed, 07-13-2011 - 12:15am
I dont get whats the big deal ? Its JUST 2 months. People go on deployment for years !
Again, I dont get WHY you cant email or schedule calls ?
There seems to be something that you are not revealling here otherwise,its no big deal.If not, you are very codependent and putting all importance on your relationship. It can be difficult to keep up with people if you what you say is opposite to what they see.KWIM?
Being insepearable is also not good for a relationship.
|Wed, 07-13-2011 - 11:01am
I guess when you go to the family functions and people start asking about your wedding plans, you just tell them that since you just got engaged before BF left, you really haven't had time to plan anything w/ him yet but you'll be sure to let them know later.
|Wed, 07-13-2011 - 4:13pm
My exH used to work 10 mins on work and we had a 10 month old baby.He had worked on the same job for 6 years and suddenly he had to work off shore for 6 months.He moved and I stayed with my baby alone.We kept communication channels open , w/o being hyper about it.
Things happen.There are no guaranttes in life.
Some counselling might help.
|Tue, 07-19-2011 - 10:54am
I understand you don't feel great right now, but your problems will be fixed in less than two months and I'm not sure why "just hold on a few weeks" is too difficult.
You shouldn't make major life decisions in a state like this. I'm sorry you're having a tough time right now but it won't last forever, and you could use this time to explore new things in your own life. I will say that it's a lot easier to deal with this if you learn to let go of your expectations of when he will call. He will come back, 8lam8, and if you make an effort to enjoy your life right now, you won't be focused on not hearing from him.

Down the years Kevin Pietersen has done a lot to make this writer fall in love with cricket, from his greatest innings in an England shirt to the humorous and occasionally absurd observations he would throw out to whoever will listen, but in the last year or so he's been fading from the public view faster than a family photo in Back To The Future. Now is the time when […]
Betting on Cricket has become increasingly popular in recent years, particularly with the advent of the Betting exchanges, making it easy for punters to sell runs on a weak batting side, or buy runs from a strong batting side. Traditional cricket betting remains strong however, with strong markets on Overall winner, Top Bowler, Top Batsmen.
Betting is available for the County Championship, Friends Provident Trophy, Twenty20 Cup, Pro40, and Indian Premier League, as well as any Test Series, The Cricket World Cup, and of course The Ashes showdown between England and Australia.

THAT we have yet another rise in the number of our children being taught in temporary classrooms is worrying and has to be, for once and for all, the absolute last increase in this problem.
As we report today, there have been 5,475 children across the county in our state schools this year having lessons in temporary buildings.
That is up more than 300 on last year and is the equivalent of about one child out of every 15.
The usual problem of a growing schools population has been put forward and that much is obvious. However, there has to be a concern about the forecasting and planning over previous years.
That school numbers were going to rise was known for some time. And let's look forward a bit: that's not going to change any time soon, given the number of houses set to be built over the coming decades.
We accept that building permanent classrooms is not an overnight job.
But we should be seeing these figures declining, not rising, because our education officials should be addressing this issue and looking forward.
Temporary classrooms send a terrible message to children, albeit subliminally.
How can we expect them to embrace their education, be proud of their school and feel valued if they are shunted off into a temporary building that is too hot in the summer and too hot in the winter?
The fragmentation of our education system with academies is also a concern.
Yes, the schools themselves may have greater ability to financially afford to put up new buildings, but where is the guarantee of proper centralised forecasting of population numbers, to ensure the system as a whole can cope?
It is hardly advanced maths to know we need an equation of one desk in a permanent classroom for every one pupil.

My blood pressure is 119/82 and my pulse rate is 86. My weight is 69.4 kg. My endocrinologist thinks I have Addisons Disease. So is this low, high, normal? And what do I do if it is high or low?
Health ProJuly 02, 2011Health ProJuly 01, 2011
Hi Wantstoknow,
The Joint National Committee defines four blood pressure categories.
Very High Range - Stage 2 Hypertension
Systolic (top) blood pressure 160 mm Hg or high
Diastolic (bottom) blood pressure 100 mm Hg or higher
If in this range you have hypertension (high blood pressure).
High Range - Stage 1 Hypertension
Systolic (top) blood pressure 140 - 159 mm Hg
Diastolic (bottom) blood pressure 90 - 99 mm Hg
If in this range you have hypertension (high blood pressure).
Caution Range - Prehypertension
Systolic (top) blood pressure 120 - 139 mm Hg
Diastolic (bottom) blood pressure 80 - 89 mm Hg
Take action!
Normal Range - Normal
Systolic (top) blood pressure below 120 mm Hg
Diastolic (bottom) blood pressure below 80 mm Hg
Sudden rise in bp
A blood pressure of 119/82 mm Hg falls within the prehypertension range. However, I recommend checking your blood pressure a few different times to see if this is your average reading. If so, I recommend looking into diet and lifestyle changes to lower your blood pressure level back within normal.
All the best,
Lisa Nelson RD

Terrorism forces MTN Jos call centre to close shop
TELECOMS| July 31, 2012, 8:07 p.m.
By Kokumo Goodie, Lagos, Nigeria
MTN Nigeria has announced the closure of its call centre in Jos as ongoing terrorist attacks in northern Nigeria take a terrific toll on the region.
The call centre is operated by CNSSL, an indigenous firm outsourced to operate the centre..
Akinwale Goodluck, MTN Corporate Services Executive, who made the announcement, explained that the call centre operator had to be shut its doors owing to the increasing spate of indiscriminate attacks.
"Our partner, CNSSL, the operators of our Jos Call Centre, have informed us of their decision to close down the centre over the escalating violence in Plateau State and the attendant risk posed to lives and property of CNSSL and its employees. Although this is highly regrettable, we are constrained to make alternative arrangements to provide customer support for our esteemed customers from other locations."
The MTN Call Centre provided employment for over 650 Nigerians who are predominantly young indigenes of Jos and its environs. Goodluck informed that the initial plan by CNSSL, in agreement with MTN, was to grow the call centre to a staff strength of 2,200 before the persistent violence aborted the plan.
"MTN chose to open the call centre facilities in Jos with the hope of contributing to peace and harmony in the city by gainfully engaging the youth. It is sad that we are no longer in a position to do so, as our partners have had to close shop due to the prevailing situation in the area," said Goodluck.
He added that the company would not rule out reviewing the decision in the future when the prevailing security situation in Jos and its environs changes.
Militants attacked two churches in north and central Nigeria on Sunday, spraying the congregation of one with bullets, killing several people, and blowing up a car in a suicide bombing at the other.
Attacks by the notorious Islamist group, Boko Haram, which says it is fighting to reinstate an Islamic caliphate in mostly Muslim northern Nigeria, has destroyed the economy of the region.
This follows its high profile strikes against churches on Christmas Day in December 2011 and on Christmas Eve in 2010.
Experts say the increasing anti-Christian attacks by the sect, which also often targets security forces and establishment figures, appear partly aimed at trying to ignite sectarian conflict in the country which is Africa's most populous boasting of more than 160 million people, split roughly evenly between Christians and Muslims.
Although Nigeria's Christian and Muslim communities mostly live in peace, periodic flareups of sectarian violence have killed hundreds since independence from Britain in 1960. Many of the recent attacks have targeted the volatile central city of Jos, long a Christian-Muslim flashpoint.
In December 2010, no fewer than 80 were killed in December 24 Christmas Eve bombings, including attacks on churches, around Jos. Boko Haram claims responsibility for the attacks which trigger deadly clashes between Muslim and Christian youths.
It was followed by another in November 2011 – At least 65 people are killed in the northeast city of Damaturu when Islamist insurgents bomb churches, mosques and police stations. Boko Haram claims responsibility.
December 2011 – Boko Haram claims responsibility for bomb attacks across Nigeria on Christmas Day, three of which targeted churches, including one near Abuja that killed at least 37 people and wounded 57. President Goodluck Jonathan declares state of emergency in mostly northern parts of the country.
January 5 – Gunmen open fire on church service in Nasarawa in northern Gombe state, killing six people and wounding 10. The attack follows a warning from Boko Haram published in local newspapers that Christians have three days to leave majority Muslim northern Nigeria or they will be killed.
January 6 – Gunmen open fire on Christian mourners at a hall in Mubi in Adamawa state, killing 18. The Christians had gathered to mourn the deaths of three people shot the previous day.
February 19 – Bomb explodes near church in the town of Suleja on the edge of the Nigerian capital Abuja, wounding five people.
February 26 – A suicide bomber drives a car packed with explosives into a church in Jos, killing two people and wounding 38 in an attack claimed by Boko Haram. Christian youths beat two Muslims to death in revenge.
March 11 – Another suspected suicide bomber attacks a Catholic Church in Jos, killing at least three people. Reprisal attacks against Muslims by Christian youths kill at least 10 people.
April 8 – A car bomb explodes on Easter Sunday near a church in the northern town of Kaduna, killing at least 36 people and badly wounding 13.
April 29 – Gunmen open fire and throw homemade bombs at a lecture theatre in the University of Kano being used for Christian worship. A church is also attacked in northeast Maiduguri. A total of 19 people are killed in the attacks, blamed by police on Boko Haram.
June 3 – Suicide bomber drives car full of explosives into church during Sunday service in Yelwa, on the outskirts of the northern city of Bauchi, killing at least 12 people. Boko Haram claims responsibility.
June 10 – Three gunmen spray bullets at the congregation of a church in Biu Town, in northeastern Borno state. In Jos, suicide bomber drives car to the entrance of the Christ Chosen Church and blows it up, witnesses say. Youths attack bystanders in retaliation, killing two, police say.

I debated between this cleanser and the foaming one for a long time but finally decided to try this one out first since my skin is quite dehydrated (not dry) and slightly oily at times.
I was quite surprised with the feel of this cleanser at first - to be honest I didnt like the cream feel but it grew on me. I noticed my skin looking much healthier after each wash and no longer had any dry pacthes or flaky skin (I use Retin-A).
It also didnt make my skin oilier but seemed to balance out the oils since I was no longer stripping them with a harsh cleanser. This stuff is so great and I think I'll be giving the foaming one a try in the future just to see how it works out!

Excellent cleanser. I have extremely sensitive skin and this does the trick. I alternate between this and Cetaphil for a gentle facial wash. Be sure to remove most if not all traces of makeup before using this. It won't really do so well in that area.

This is amazing! It's truly a gentle cleanser that doesn't overly strip/dry the face. It's very hydrating. I like to use this when my face is drier or during the colder months in combination of CeraVe Moisturizing Lotion. It took off my eye makeup, so that's a plus too.
Texture: It's like a lotion. At first it felt a little bit weird, mostly because I was expecting the typical kind (gel-like consistency) of facial cleanser.
Scent: Fragrance-free, sort of.
Finish: This rinses off nicely. Doesn't make my face feel tight. Doesn't leave a film like some other face cleansers have.
Effects: Didn't break me out and seems to help balance out my skin. This is overall a good face wash.

Age: 36-43 Skin: Sensitive, Fair Hair: Red, Wavy, Medium Eyes: Green
My sensitive skin loves this fragrance free cleanser. I've used this product off and on for a couple years. The more I use it the more I appreciate it. Super hydrating, I never feel tight or dry after using it. The large 12 ounce pump-style bottle is both convenient and economical retailing for about $12 dollars. This is truly a luxury product in the drugstore aisle. and I need all the affordable help I can get. Recently I did a number on my skin with soap and an apple cider vinegar toner (See my reviews for One With Nature Dead Sea Mud Triple Milled Soap and Bragg's Apple Cider Vineger). Red and raw, this is the cleanser I'm using to repair the damage. Although the company doesn't advertise it for some reason, this cleanser doesn't contain fragrance (My skin is so bad off I can't stand any fragrance at the moment). It also deposits ceramides onto the skin which helps moisturize and helps maintain the skin's protective barrier. Since I've basically trashed my skin's protective barrier, this is exactly what I need at the moment. I follow up with the CeraVe P.M. Lotion (I use it in the A.M. too), and I'm already seeing and feeling a difference.

This is one of those products that I keep coming back to after getting bored and trying something else. It doesn't foam up and isn't extremely effective at removing waterproof eye-makeup, but for basic cleansing this does the job without irritating my skin. I use it morning and night. It's one of those no nonsense products that does exactly what it claims. My eye may wander to prettier bottles and fantastic claims of eternal youth, but this gem will always be in my bathroom. I highly recommend this for dry, sensitive skin.

I have super sensitive skin, I break out here and there AND I'm allergic to some antibacterial practically every face wash has so imagine my relief to finding this! It a nice calm face wash I use twice a day and I no longer have rashes on my face. It doesn't help with break outs but there is other stuff for that. For those who had a bad reaction to it check the ingredients it's possible you are sensitive to hylauric acid because that can be what's causing your issues other than that this product got a stamp of approval from the eczema society so for those of us who can't use fancy products because our skin will hate is this is perfect

Age: 19-24 Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Neutral Hair: Brown Eyes: Green
This is the best cleanser I've found so far. I have combination/oily but sensitive skin so I decided to try this instead of the foaming cleanser. It's the only one I've used that doesn't leave my skin feeling dry or tight, instead it is soft and less oily. It doesn't do much in terms of removing makeup or treating breakouts but I can use other products for that. The price could be better but I've used this twice daily for over five months and haven't run out yet so it is worth it. I will repurchase.

My skin has been feeling dehydrated for a while so I decided to try this out. At first I did not notice much of a difference, but after a couple of days, my skin did not feel as tight and itchy. I have been using the product for over two weeks now and I am really happy with it. It cleanses my skin and does not dry or irritate it.
I don't wear foundation and I do clean off my eye make-up before I wash my face, so I can not comment on how well it removes make-up. But this is a great product for sensitive skin that can not tolerate most other cleansers.

I was recommended this product for my dry skin but I did not like it at all. I did oil cleansing to remove my makeup and followed up with the cleanser and it did not remove the traces of makeup. After a few uses, I stopped using it because I was starting to develop several acne spots on my skin. Might work for others but it did not work for me.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Double entendres dog PM's search for spotlight
BRISBANE -- Australia's prime minister this week left the sanctuary of her Sydney Harbour-side home and headed west to see how the other half lives.
Julia Gillard's decision to leave Kirribilli House and spend a week in the Sydney suburb of Rooty Hill did what it was no doubt designed to do -- grab the nation's attention.
Unfortunately for the PM, the word "root" still thrives in the national lexicon as a crude slang for sexual intercourse, despite the trend toward importing our profanities.
A "root rat,'' by way of example, is a person (commonly, but not exclusively, male) who spends a great deal of time pursuing sexual congress.
It's a national quirk that still leaves visiting North Americans puzzled. When, for instance, they proudly boast that they "root" for a sporting team, it is met with snorting, sniggering merriment from their Australian hosts.
And so there was much nudging and chortling as the commander-in-chief bedded down for a few nights in Rooty Hill, which is far removed from the sexually charged atmosphere its name suggests.
Rooty Hill, about 40 kilometres from Sydney's business district, is a respectable address with plenty of millionaires among its inhabitants.
But it, and the wider environs of western Sydney, are also home to many lower-income workers Australians affectionately call "battlers.''
The PM's arrival was a bit like a 21st-century version of that old Hans Christian Andersen fable The Wild Swans, where little Priness Elisa is banished from the palace and made to go and live with the peasants.
Only it's not a wicked stepmother who has sent Gillard on her way, but something far more terrifying -- polling.
The nation's first female PM has a grip on power so tenuous many pundits have written her off in the Sept. 4 federal election, which she called in January, overturning the long-standing tradition of snap election calls.
The powerful political barometer Newspoll suggests satisfaction with Gillard's performance as prime minister has crashed six points to 30 per cent in the first few weeks of the year.
On the matter of who would make the better prime minister, Gillard's support also fell from 41 per cent at the beginning of February to 36 per cent.
What exactly is wrong with Gillard in the voters' eyes is hard to identify, but it's obvious the outwardly amiable PM has never managed to make that vital connection with a constituency that guarantees a long tenure.
Opposition Leader Tony Abbott does not exactly have the nation under his thrall, but at this juncture, his elevation to the prime ministership seems inevitable.
By Thursday, Gillard appeared to have won over many of the locals, with some embracing her or chatting easily as she wandered among the shopping centres and side streets.
As she prepared to leave her hotel and head back to the more comfortable Kirribilli House, she told reporters she'd had a "good week" in the west.
But she would not be drawn out on suggestions the ruling Labour Party might be "dead in the water" in the crucial seats of Sydney's west.
Accused of everything except being a quitter, the diehard spirit of the working-class girl from Adelaide was still evident.
"We're not here to talk about opinion polls, we're here to talk about issues that matter for the people,' she said. "People will make their own decisions in September about how they want to vote.''

At SCTE's Cable Tec Expo in Denver last month, I had the pleasure of presenting a session on "Navigating the Transition to All IP Video Delivery" as part of a workshop on the DRM Evolution – What it Means to You. It is becoming increasingly clear that operators would prefer not to rely on two disparate delivery silos for QAM broadcasts and IP services, and that they also want to use available cable plant bandwidth in a more flexible manner.

In the last of our three-part blog series from our Multi-network Forum at IBC 2014, I focus on the contributions of Chris Wagner, Executive Vice President at NeuLion. Delivering no less than 47,000 live sports events to every connected device in and out of the home, NeuLion is fueling a fundamental change on the way the content is being consumed. Arguably the most valuable (expensive) asset that operators or programmers can buy, it is, according to Chris, the only appointment fans are going to keep.

In this second post of a three-part series from our Multi-network Forum at IBC 2014, I highlight some of the key points discussed with moderator, Nigel Walley and panelist Ron Paans, Technical Director at M7 Group. Despite operating multiple brands, across multiple networks, markets and ecosystems he still manages to sleep well at night!

Ensuring revenue security can be quite a complex undertaking for global pay-TV operators. However, leveraging a variety of hardware security methods – including the use of a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) – can support the fundamental requirements of any security strategy: durability and renewability. Durability is the ability to control access or visibility into intellectual property or sensitive information such as cryptographic keys or security algorithms. The TEE allows for this durability as well as the ability for powerful and sophisticated security techniques to be performed on a capable and flexible processor.

For the third consecutive year, our Multi-network Forum at IBC 2014 proved that despite the gruelling demands of the five-day IBC show, delegates are prepared to get up early (at least once) to listen to operators and industry partners illuminate important trends – this year, the IP transition and the rise of the software-empowered operator. In a three-part blog series, I highlight some of the key points discussed with moderator, Nigel Walley and Forum panelists. The first being with Dario Vieceli, Head of TV Software Development at Swisscom.

Earlier this week, we unveiled the profile of VCAS Ultra™, our next-generation Video Content Authority System (VCAS™) architecture.
This is certainly very exciting news for us as a company – it represents the culmination of much hard work and relentless innovation. But we also think it represents a significant development for the pay-TV industry on the whole.
As outlined in our "Rise of the Software Empowered Video Operator" e-book, there is a clear trend towards IP- and software-based technologies with many industry experts agreeing that they will serve as the foundation for the future of pay-TV service delivery. As the industry evolves, so must the revenue security strategies that underpin the business of content delivery.
September 8, 2014
I sense a lot of excitement in the market regarding the advantages that a combined cloud/smart TV approach without a set-top box (STB) can bring service providers. But I also wonder about possible negative impacts that such a shift could have on the operational aspects of the service provider's business, for example OPEX possibly escalating out of control.
September 7, 2014
While there are continuing advancements in technologies for protecting and delivering content over IP, another challenge to operators is evolving their user experience to embrace new service models for subscribers, while striving to maintain their current revenue model. Of particular threat is disintermediation by direct access to content from OTT sources. Subscribers, particularly the emerging generation not accustomed to traditional pay-TV models, will question the value of the video aggregator.

In this e-book, we look at the industry transition from dedicated equipment to software-based architectures in collaboration with partners playing a critical role in creating software-centric solutions for the digital video ecosystem. Our chapter focuses on software-defined video processing that provides the flexibility, scalability and performance required to transform high quality video into new revenue streams via turnkey, cloud-based and virtualized deployment models.

If you're reading this, you probably read a lot about the TV industry. The Internet is now awash with content, and the articles that get the most coverage are the controversial ones that talk about cord-cutting, or the threat from Google, or how TV is going to die within the next five years.

You can call the trend whatever you'd like, but content preparation workflows are all moving in the same direction—toward the cloud. In the follow-up e-book on The Rise of the Software-Empowered Video Operator, we explore this push and how it's impacting our industry. The benefits for moving towards a cloud-based workflow can almost seem unlimited, but a couple of key ones always float to the top.
