Yep, I am stupid, can you move on?
You, as a illuminated teacher, care to explain how that non-filtered garbage shown in the previous picture can sound good? We have alias products all the way to -32dB. And this is only from two fundamentals. That's the evidence that you missed - was there since 1982 when they invented the CD format. Let me put the pic one more time so you don't miss it: Last edited by SoNic_real_one; 2nd April 2012 at 03:43 AM. |

Looks to me to be test tones. Who listens to test tones and declares they 'sound good' please?

Firstly as Dan Lavry points out (and Bruno hints at), DACs perform worse at higher sample rates. NOS gives the DAC the best shot at performing - lowest glitch density. Second, digital filters in OS chips are almost always half-band, giving rise to the listening effects you noticed. Hence apodizing filters are part of the solution to listener fatigue, as you note. Thirdly many DAC's analog stages suck in practice (sound quality wise). The manufacturers suggest using audio opamps for what's a video signal. Intermodulation abounds although it doesn't show up on traditional measurements. NOS DACs have simpler, or no, analog stages able to introduce such nasties. OS DACs present greater challenges to analog stages because of the sample rate multiplication. Quote:

Thanks to a test CD with tones up to 20 kHz that I've owned since I could still hear 20 kHz, I now know that 18 and 20 kHz are totally gone, and 16 kHz needs a higher setting of the volume knob. Lay may hearing threshold over this graph (and lets not forget masking), and there you have the explanation why I don't hear any artefacts. The perfect low pass filter at work. I'd like to add that when I was younger, in the early years of lossy compression (PASC and ATRAC), I could easily tell without AB comparison if I was listening to PASC/ATRAC processed music because of chirpy tones in the mid and treble, especially in "complex" passages like the audience clapping, or recordings with a lot of tape hiss. Not unlike lower MP3 bitrates (128 kbps), but somewhat different. I'm willing to accept that this DAC wouldn't have been my choice back in those days... |

Cross Cultural Perspectives on Women #17: Organizing Women: Formal and Informal Women's Groups in the Middle Eastby Dawn Chatty
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:With the creation of the modern nation-state in the Middle East and North Africa, women have been and continue to be manipulated to represent a cultural ideal of perfect womanhood. This is often greatly at odds with the realities of women's lives and aspirations. However, individual women, through careful manipulation of gender relations, often succeed in casting aside the culturally accepted bonds which diminish their lives. Even so, women in groups are deemed unacceptable unless they conform to state mandates. In many countries in the Middle East, women are only legally permitted to form groups which are charitable organizations concerned with the welfare of the disabled or the handicapped. Clearly women in groups are perceived as a threat by the state. This challenging book examines the nature of the relationship between both women and the state and men and the state. It presents a balanced mix of theoretical and empirical research which analyzes both the formal and informal ways in which women have organized themselves, and been organized, in Arab society. Synopsis:In many countries in the Middle East, the only legally allowed organizations are those concerned with the welfare of the disabled or handicapped. This challenging book explores the multiplicity of issues and constraints that women face when trying to organize themselves and, through case studies, shows how they still manage to form groups and act collectively for their interests.

Five wins in a row for Whitchurch United
8:00pm Tuesday 15th October 2013 in Football
WHITCHURCH United are five games unbeaten following a 2-1 victory over visiting Verwood Town at Longmeadow on Saturday.
Wessex League Premier Division strugglers Verwood set the early pace and took the lead on 10 minutes. Whitchurch goalkeeper Tom Hindmarsh's throw was intercepted by Jack Lovell who found Nathan Saxby and his excellent strike found the net.
It took a handball from Verwood's Matthew Oldring to give Whitchurch the chance to draw level - and Luke Walker did not disappoint, his spot-kick sending the 'keeper the wrong way.
Whitchurch scored the winner on the hour as James Tennant picked up a sloppy pass and crossed for Scott Hassell to head home the winner.
The result leaves Whitchurch ninth in the table. They are without a game on Saturday but take on Andover Town in the North Hants Senior Cup next Tuesday.

I worked at Comau
Pros – Comau is a good place to gain experience in an interesting industry. The company designs and builds automation systems (assembly lines), so if you are an engineer with tooling and/or electro-mechanical experience, you will be in high demand and gain valuable experience.
Cons – The main drawback to Comau is that the company has HUGE swings in staffing, depending on the number of projects they have an approaching deadlines. Don't expect good benefits--they are minimal at best, but the pay is likely to be decent, if not generous. Unfortunately, I joined them just before a major downturn. Their staffing is normally very lean, so employees may work massive amounts of overtime when project deadlines approach or new business is gained.
Advice to Senior Management – Comau's management should work toward better workforce planning and talent management. Instead of training employees for your competitors, the company should train and then retain key staff. This could be accomplished by some more enlightened HR practices. Also, strive to become a socially responsible employer that treats employees with dignity and respect when they leave the company. Too often, employees are treated as disposable commodities. When mass layoffs occur, it would be beneficial to provide a modicum of severance benefits and some outplacement assistance to severed employees. This would go a long way toward creating good PR for the company and making it an employer of choice, rather than just a place to gain experience.

This property was conveniently located just off the strip in Branson, away from all the hustle and bustle and much quieter than being on the strip. It was also located in the middle of all the action so if you wanted to go to attractions on the east side, you just turned right. If you wanted to go west, just turn left. The rooms were large with a separate […] sitting area along with the kitchenette. The bathroom was also set up well with the sink and large granite countertop located outside the shower / toilet room. The breakfast was excellent including hot scrambled eggs, potatoes, biscuits and gravy, French toast and other items in addition to the cereals, breads, bagels and muffins. In other words, it was not just a continental breakfast; it was a fully loaded breakfast with plentiful choices! Oh, the bed was very comfortable with a pillow-top mattress.

"Centrally located -- restaurants other sights"
The staff was very friendly and helpful. The suites were very comfortable and attractively decorated, the availability of meals in the hotel was a plus. Also, the appliances in the room were operational and the kitchen area included cutlery, coffeemaker, dishes and cups.Verifierad gästrecension
"Needs new mattresses"
Room was clean, very close to attractions. But the bed was ROCK hard, and the mattress on the sleeper sofa was threadbear with springs poking through. Had to request a rollaway bed. Fortunately, they didn't waived the $15 rollaway bed fee. Wouldn't stay there again unless all the beds are replaced. And at the end of the day, isn't sleep why you book […] a room?

Svar via Residence Inn by Marriott Branson Thank you very much for your comments, we appreciate receiving them so we are able to address all issues. And I am happy to report that we have just replaced every mattress in the hotel with brand new Serta Sleeper mattresses! I hope you will return to check out our new comfortable beds! We look forward to your return!
"Great hotel!!"
My family has stayed at this hotel every time we go to Branson. We have stayed at other hotels close to the strip but this one is the best. I would highly recommend this hotel. It has a nice indoor pool, hot tub, clean rooms, great full breakfast, and friendly staff!Verifierad gästrecension
"Great staff, great hotel"
The hallways could use some sprucing up. One cabinet was missing a latch in the kitchen. Other than that the rooom was clean, the staff was lovely and helpful. The breakfast menu changed here and there which was great. The food was well prepared and tasty. The bananas were over-ripe, but it means this hotel does not waste. The location is great. I will […] stay there in the future. Loved it. The price was right, as well! MerVerifierad gästrecension från Expedia
"Not bad but a little overpriced"
Stayed in a one bedroom suite. Not bad. Could be a little cleaner in some areas (toilet) but not bad otherwise. Heard quite a bit of walking/stomping upstairs at midnight. I suspect thin ceilings as opposed to noisy neighbors. We were placed in the basement so our 2 year old wouldn't "stomp around and make people call down to the front desk and complain." […] Thanks. Overall not bad but probably overpriced in my opinion. MerVerifierad gästrecension från Expedia
Svar via Residence Inn by Marriott Branson Thank you for your response Mark! We always appreciate knowing how our guests stays are, and what we can do to make it even better! I would like to apologize for the noise you experienced while you were here, and for the cleanliness. Usually we pride ourselves on a 100% cleanliness score for our hotel, I am sorry for the oversight. I hope you will stay with us again, and we could offer to put you up on a higher floor, to try to reduce the amount of noise, or you can always feel free to call the front desk with any noise issues, and we will do our best to fix the situation, either by talking with the other guests, or helping you to move to another room if that would be the best option. I sincerely hope we will get the chance to see you again, and get to impress you with our service & amenities, especially with the fact that our suites are about 50% larger than most hotel rooms, and do include a full kitchen, which brings the value up on our rooms significantly! Thank you again for taking the time to post your review. Happy travels!
""Good and Bad""
I think the hotel rooms are in need of an update. The toilet handle needed to be rattled from time to time or it kept running. The shower tub was very slow draining so, by the time you finished showering, you were standing in several inches of water. The free breakfast was good, but there is limited seating. We had to take our breakfast back up to our […] room because there was no place to sit. The pool was down because they were putting in new equipment. I think it was finally up and going the day before we checked out. My son wanted to work out, but the equipment room only had a treadmill and a bike. It is not the best , but far from the worse hotel I have ever stayed at. MerVerifierad gästrecension från Expedia

The hotel needs up grading, furniture worn out. Could hear people talking next door 1 night. But Service was excellent and staff was very helpful and nice. Located at a nice hill side with easy access to Hyw 76 close to all attractions.Verifierad gästrecension
Everything was great-would stay there again.Verifierad gästrecension
"Very good location for visiting Branson!"
This hotel appeared to be rather old. Musty smell in room 012 that the staff placed clothes dryer filters in the vents, that helped a little, but the vents needed cleaning and filters replaced. Musty smell never went away. Staff offered to change rooms but we were only going to be there five days and did not want to move all of our clothes, etc. Everyone […] was friendly, courteous, and willing to help with different items, and for this factor alone, I would recommend this hotel to another person(s).

Hotel is well located. Very pretty setting. The staff was great! They went beyond what could be expected. Their driving instructions were great and dining recommendations were right on.

"Beware of extra charges"
The room was not as clean as it should have been . The carpets were dirty and the room had a odor. After returning home we discovered that the hotal had billed us a $250.00 charge. I called and asked about this charge as I didn't know what it was for and was told we were charged a fee because we had smoked in the room, which we DID NOT do. We cooked […] in the room and the room had a cooking oder but not a cigarrette smoke odor. The management said that we were lying and that they had to clean the carpets and the drapes due to compaints. If the room had been cleaned properly the odor from cooking would have been gone. We are currently disputing this fee/charge. I was insulted and will not be staying at Residence Inn again. MerVerifierad gästrecension från Expedia

"Good location and good for families"
We chose this hotel based off our previous experience at the Marriott time share resort, but much lower in price during the summer months. Overall it was very convenient to the strip and great for our small family of four. It is in need of new furniture, and the pool needs renovating. But the pluses outweigh the minuses.Verifierad gästrecension
"Best stay ever!"
Our stay here was great! On our 3 day stay our room was always clean and ready to go. It was a great central location for all of the shows and activities that we did.

Have stayed in Residence Inns nationwide, and this one did not disappoint. Wireless internet - great, breakfast - great, pool & whirlpool - great, room size - spacious, cleanliness - great, location to Branson attractions - central & convenient, but you'll want to have a vehicle (just because of how the area is widespread), staff - always pleasant even […] down to the daily note from housekeeping. The only thing that would've made it better would be King beds instead of Queen, otherwise they will see us again, and again, and again. MerVerifierad gästrecension

"Exceeded Expectations"
The staff was very friendly, we had a one bedroom suite that perfectly met our needs.

We liked the location of the hotel, the staff was very friendly and helpful. The room smelled musty and things looked very worn and dirty, it was not up to the standards of the Residence Inn's that I have stayed at, they are usually clean and well kept. This place needs some attention.Verifierad gästrecension
This hotel property was very disappointing. From the heavily chlorinated pool that was so strong that it burned our eyes, to the tiny/overworked solo elevator which reaked of cigarettes and wet dog-like smells, to the pathetic excuse for an evening meal which consisted of little more than cold pretzels to only crumbs of the nacho chips, to the cramped […] living space where trying to open the pull-out couch and an extra roll away was nearly impossible. What a disapointment was this Branson property! There are a lot of nicer, roomier, and cheaper hotels with in just a mile or so of this property. This is the second time we have been disappointed with Marriott Residence Inns in the past year - the second problem site being the one at Chesterfield, MO. We have often stayed at Marriott but will be looking elsewhere in the future. MerVerifierad gästrecension

"Convenient and Comfortable"
We stayed 2 nights at the Residence Inn Marriott in Branson, MO. The room was fantastic! Our family of 5 was very comfortable in the 2 bedroom suite. We enjoyed a full hot breakfast each morning. The staff was very friendly, the beds were comfortable, the pool was nice and just the right temperature, and the location was very convenient. The only complaint […] would be that the walls were pretty thin and we could hear the people above us, but it wasn't anything that a good pair of ear plugs wouldn't cure. Overall a great experience. We will stay here again. MerVerifierad gästrecension
This hotel was a 5 star :) The room was HUGE and spotless. Food at check in was not only a surprise, but good and plenty! Breakfast could not have been better!

Syria and the Imminent End of Colonialism
The striking inability of the Americans, Russians and their assorted allies to shape events in Syria follow similar serial failures in recent decades in their attempts to promote Arab-Israeli peace, democratic transformations, economic trajectories or other such strategic issues, stresses Rami G. Khouri.
Middle East Online
BEIRUT - The accelerating pace of events inside Syria has raised expectations that the Bashar Assad regime is on the verge of collapsing soon, though nobody seems to know when and how this will happen, or how the post-Assad transition will play out. The regime is fatally injured, because it is losing control of strategic patches of territory to the rebels, and it is losing credibility and confidence with those who have supported and served it for decades, especially security agency personnel.
This week's fighting in Damascus and the bombing of the national security council meeting indicate that if the regime cannot protect its top military officers, whom can it protect? That is the question certainly being asked by thousands of Syrians who now serve in the regime's military and political organizations. If Bashar and Maher Assad cannot protect their brother-in-law and chief muscle man and enforcer Asef Shawkat, how can they possibly protect lowly foot soldiers, senior officers, shabiha gangs, and the three-dozen remaining Baath Party faithful in the country? The consequences of such hesitation and questioning by regime loyalists and apparatchiks will determine the pace of the regime's collapse in the coming months.
Trying to predict how and when the Assad regime will fall is fascinating, but an inexact science. All we can say for sure now is that the Assad regime is moving down that fateful path that has been travelled by all other such militarily strong regimes that eventually collapse when they lose the single most important ingredient for their incumbency: public confidence that the regime and the single top leader can stay in power and provide the combination of protection, patronage and privilege that are the glue of such regimes. This was the case with the Shah of Iran, Marcos in the Philippines, Ceausescu in Romania, Suharto in Indonesia, Gathafi in Libya, and dozens of other collapsed autocracies around the world. Assad, like them, is strong in military terms, but weak and vulnerable by any other standard, and totally lacking in legitimacy and respect in the eyes of the majority of his own people -- the ultimate criteria that determine the fate of a regime.
The battles in Damascus, the lethal bombing of the meeting of top security officials Wednesday, and the Free Syrian Army's capture of several border posts Thursday and Friday indicate that the situation in Syria will continue to evolve as it has for the past 16 months: Incremental and continuing military and diplomatic advances by the opposition groups will combine with the government's inability to do anything beyond using brute force to quell the rebellion, leading to the steady contraction of the regime's control of Syrian land and people. At some point soon, the movement of those loyalists who decide to flee the regime will abruptly increase, panicked low- and mid-level security personnel will abandon their posts and uniforms and melt back into civilian life, and opposition forces will quickly take control of key installations, such as border crossings and provincial police posts. When opposition fighters obtain more sophisticated anti-tank and shoulder-mounted ground-to-air missiles, as is happening now, the regime will lose two of its key military advantages, and the end will then come quickly.
Everything going on at the UN Security Council is now irrelevant, and has been for about a month, for the center of gravity of this political struggle shifted some time ago to military developments inside Syria. U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice's protestations of the Russian and Chinese vetoes of resolutions to pressure Syria are pathetic gibberish, given the United States' much worse track record in vetoing resolutions that seek to force Israel to comply with international law and morality. The United States and Russia at the UN are acting like children, with their self-serving hypocrisy and selfishness. We just have to accept that the UN Security Council does not function when the superpowers shift into infantile mode, and talk nonsense. We should keep our gaze instead on more important things, like developments inside Syria.
This leads me to conclude that the bigger story that links Syria with the other Arab uprisings and recent Middle Eastern developments is that the will and actions of indigenous Arabs, Iranians and Turks will always have a greater impact than anything done by powers abroad. The striking inability of the Americans, Russians and their assorted allies to shape events in Syria follow similar serial failures in recent decades in their attempts to promote Arab-Israeli peace, democratic transformations, economic trajectories or other such strategic issues. Only when local people across the Middle East took matters into their own hands did conditions change, and history resume. The sentiments of ordinary people in Bab el-Hawa, Midan, Deir el-Zor and Deraa are far more significant that the pronouncements of the world's powers. The sooner we learn this lesson, the better off we will all be. The colonial era may finally be drawing to a close.

Eye Candy #136 - Miu Miu at Bergdorf Goodman's Displays
The Two Tone Patent Leather Sandals and the Polka Dot Sandals available here.
Images taken from Modelizing
Intreccio Shoulder Bag - Miu Miu Bags
It's been a long time since I last saw a Miu Miu intreccio bag. If I am not wrong, the last time I saw one was Fall 2009 (in terms of fashion, that can be an eternity.)
It seems like for Spring 2011 Miu Miu is bringing the intreccio back as a cross between it and the stage bags. Guess what? I don't think I like it. I know I haven't been very optimistic with Miu Miu lately but it is because I have noticed a lack of creativity on their part. The main reasons I have always liked Miu Miu is because it's not filled with logos and its designs are very unique. That said, no more stage and intreccio bags please! Available via Bergdorf Goodman for USD 1495.
Miu Miu's Ipod and Ipad Cases
After spending a lot of time in the kitchen baking some delicious bread, it's about time I come back to my true passion: Miu Miu. Finally I have a chance to post individual pictures of the Ipod and Ipad cases I posted last week. Yes, they are real, they will come out in February and are part of the Valentines collection. So excited! Blue and red are two of my favorite colors!!!! Can't wait to see the rest of the collection.
More Miu Miu accessories for sale here.

Oh Miu Miu how I love thee! Every time I see a new pair of Miu Miu flats I feel an adrenaline rush. And let's face it, that is what life is about: being happy. Miu Miu flats make me happy. I only own one pair but just looking at the rest I don't own and getting to see new styles is a much needed pleasure in my life. Thank you Miu Miu for making my friday! You rock!
Both flats are available via Net a Porter here

Red Hat has made a bid to compete with VMware in the server virtualisation space with the global releases of its Red Hat Enterprise Virtualisation (RHEV) 3.0 platform.
The company said that its open source virtualisation platform would offer greater flexibility and more server headroom than VMware.
The latest version of RHEV will sport improved performance with the KVM hypervisor platform along with increased hardware support and headroom.
"We have been shipping Red Hat Enterprise Virtualisation for more than two years and since then we have spoken to hundreds of customers," Red Hat senior director of virtualisation business Navin Thadani, told reporters.
"One thing that is exceedingly clear is that there is a strong demand for an alternative to VMware."
Thadani explained that many firms have had a desire for an alternative platform, particularly one with more flexibility than VMware.
The enterprise virtualisation and cloud computing spaces have expanded in recent months. Along with virtualisation pioneers such as VMware, enterprise computing names such as Oracle have sought to enter the server virtualisation space.
Among the biggest advantages cited by Red Hat was the hardware capacity and cloud capabilities of RHEV 3.0. The platform will offer support for two, four and eight-socket systems, as well as support for more than 1,000 virtual machines and tested memory capacities as high as 8TB.
Red Hat also championed its open source roots. The company said that, while competing platforms have only partially committed to open source, RHEV was fully committed to being an open platform.
"Unlike VMware and other solutions that are based on a proprietary kernel, we leverage the development that has gone on by the much larger linux community," Thadani said.
"We believe this is the ideal foundation for the Linux constituency,"

Jets' low point getting even lower?
PFT Live: Mike Florio talks with Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News to discuss how bad the New York Jets' season is going thus far and if the worse has yet to come. Facing off against a 4-0 Houston Texans team on Monday night, Mehta says that this is the lowest point in any Jets season he has been a part of and wonders how they can bounce back. They also say that while the Jets have Tim Tebow on their team, they haven't figured out how to use him yet and that Tebow Time may very well be right around the corner for Rex Ryan and the New York Jets.

Zack Snyder's Superman Movie 'Man of Steel' Moved to June 14, 2013
The Warner Bros. film, starring Henry Cavill, was originally scheduled for a December 2012 release.
Superman fans waiting for Zack Snyder's Man of Steel to fly into theaters will have to wait six months longer than they originally expected.
Warner Bros., which initially penciled in the movie for a tentative December 2012 release, announced Thursday that the movie now has an official opening date of June 14, 2013.
The move appears to come as the studio reviews its overall release slate. It had never committed the Superman tale to a specific date in 2012 and now that it also has Peter Jackson's The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey set to open on Dec. 14, 2012, it decided to space out its tentpoles and move Man of Steel into 2013.
The Warners/Legendary Pictures production starts filming this summer with British actor Henry Cavill playing Clark Kent/Superman. The cast also includes Amy Adams, Michael Shannon, Diane Lane, Kevin Costner and Russell Crowe.
VIDEO: 'Superman' Star Henry Cavill: How I'm Preparing for 'Man of Steel' Role
Charles Roven, Emma Thomas, Christopher Nolan and Deborah Snyder are the producers of the film, which will be distributed worldwide by Warners. The screenplay is by David S. Goyer based on a story by Goyer and Nolan. Legendary's Thomas Tull and Lloyd Phillips are serving as executive producers.

A nano two-wheeler
Abstract: According to New Scientist, French and German researchers have built a nanoscale machine with two wheels of a diameter of 0.8 nanometers joined by an axle of only four carbon atoms long. It has been done before, but this time, the nanoscientists have been able to really watch these nano-wheels rolling and rotating over a flat surface. It has been claimed before, but it is the first time that researchers have directly seen this nanowheel rotation. And this discovery probably opens the way to future molecular machines.

How to counter longbowman? (self.aoe2)
submitted 8 months ago by mbm7501

[–]B-ConLong Bowmen For The Kill 2 points3 points4 points 8 months ago
You need high pierce-armor units. Usually some sort of advanced infantry unit. The Mongols' unique unit, IIRC, is really good.
Onogers or seige rams are not always effective. I play the Britons and I keep cavalry around to defend my longbowmen. Any large units that work against longbowmen get jacked up by cavalry, I'll send them out to meet the large units before they're within attacking distance of the archers.
Frankly, Paladins are one of the better offensive weapons against them, because they have decent pierce armor and can move quicky to avoid taking too many volleys of arrows. Because longbowmen aren't heavily armored, once the Paladins get up in their face it's their advantage. I would think that 40:60 should actually be your advantage if you manage the situation right.
The problem comes when you come to a stop because of a wall or something, and you let the longbowmen assault you. You'll lose a few units every volley. Keep your Paladins out of range until they have a straight path to the longbowmen, then charge.
[–]eggsmediumrare 4 points5 points6 points 8 months ago
Paladins vs longbowman... longbowmen win. It sounds weird, but if the Briton player is smart, he'll group as tightly together as he can, the paladins will attack sporadically (unless their player has some insane micromanaging) and the longbowman will cut them down. If you keep flooding with paladins, you'll win eventually... but guess who has more gold left over after the battle is done?
[–]xIrish 0 points1 point2 points 8 months ago
Paladins are great at taking out archers--the problem is, any Brit player worth his salt is going to have pikemen in front/circled around the archers for protection. I've found that you need to throw in a healthy mix of siege warfare to either soften the pikemen/longbowmen group's HP, although it can sometimes be tricky getting siege into the right position with longbowmen involved.

Don't miss out on articles! Get BRANDPACKAGING's free digital edition Now with digital-exclusive stories and features! |
Sustainability is a notion that spans the entire packaging life cycle.
Sustainability is quickly becoming the next great innovation in business.
Sustainability — being green — has gone mainstream. Major brands in every sector from fast food to fashion have spent significant resources making sure their products and corporate image stack up well in terms of environmental and social impact.
Despite the increasingly crowded retail shelves and the need for unique packaging that helps brands stand out from the competition, consumers often find themselves looking at similar products with similar features.
BRANDPACKAGING's packaging conference returned for a tenth year with a focus on a single message: Make It Matter.
On-Demand Mutualism, by definition "how one species affects another for mutual benefit," has gone from an abstract concept to a significant global trend in the last few years, and it is revolutionizing business and government models around the world. It speaks to the fact that we live in a world so interconnected that it is hyper-local and global at once, and our bonds with each other—and the planet—have morphed from the 'singular' relationship to the 'plural'—and encompassing—mutualism.
The October/November 2013 issue examines the secret behind luxury packaging. You can also read the issue at the Digital Editions.
A design annual unlike any other, Design Gallery Volume 10 is not just a study in good design. It's a look at how packaging can successfully demonstrate structural and graphic innovation, make strong shelf impact, meet consumer, shopper and retailer needs and support and convey the brand story.

Childrenâs Memorial Hospital in Chicago Upgrades In-House TV Station with Broadcast Pix
Billerica, Massachusetts â The Family Life Center on the fifth floor of Childrenâs Memorial Hospital in Chicago provides a place for patients and their families to relax, play, and socialize. It also doubles as a television studio for Skylight TV, the hospitalâs in-house television channel, which recently upgraded its production capabilities with a Broadcast Pix⢠Slate⢠1000 live video production system.
Producer Rene Roy said the center has served as studio space for Skylight TV for more than 10 years. In about 20 minutes, the Skylight TV team can transform the area into a makeshift studio for a two-camera shoot, complete with scenery, wireless mics, and, perhaps most importantly for the young patients, a prize cart.
The hospital maintains a regular schedule of four live shows each week, including bingo-type games that teach about body parts and injury prevention on Mondays and Tuesdays â and often attract more than 200 players throughout the hospital. Wednesdays feature a storytelling program, while Thursday mornings begin with an hour-long music and variety show with patients serving as a studio audience. Skylight TV also creates additional content for its patients as well.
Skylight TVâs control room is located in the basement of the hospital. Roy said the new Broadcast Pix system replaced an aging Play Trinity system. The Slate 1000 was sold to Childrenâs Memorial Hospital by Roscor Corporation, which is based in Mount Prospect, Ill. Roscor installed the system in August and it went live in September.
Roy said the channel takes advantage of the built-in Fluent⢠workflow tools, including the multi-view, clip and still stores, and Inscriber CG. âBroadcast Pix is very much a transition technology from the old into the new,â? he said. âI think itâs relatively intuitive. It absolutely makes our productions better.â?
The hospital is building a new 23-story facility in the heart of Chicago that will open in 2012 called Ann & Robert H. Lurie Childrenâs Hospital of Chicago. Skylight TV will have a dedicated studio (complete with retractable green screen) and control room in the middle of the new building. âWeâre not going to have to learn a new system,â? Roy added. âWeâre taking the Broadcast Pix with us.â?
At Lurie Childrenâs, Roy plans to involve some of the older patients with what he calls âvideo therapyâ? and allow them to help produce the shows. âWe have always aspired to having high quality programs and involving the kids as much as we can,â? he said. âThatâs why we got the Broadcast Pix. Itâs really reliable, and itâs easy to run a show.â?
Childrenâs Memorial Hospital Childrenâs Memorial is one of the top pediatric hospitals in the country according to US News & World Report. Its physicians are on staff at Northwestern University Feinbergâs School of Medicine.
About Broadcast Pix Broadcast Pix is the leader in live video production systems. Its Granite native HD systems are the only switchers with a content server, to provide the best file-based workflow for clips and graphics. Its Slate systems create highly affordable hybrid HD/SD/analog productions. Both systems create compelling live video by integrating a production switcher with a suite of Fluent file-based software tools, including clip and graphic stores, CG, multi-view, watch-folders and macros. Broadcast Pix systems are a fraction of the cost of a conventional control room to buy, staff and operate. Customers include leading broadcast, webcast, entertainment, mobile, corporate, education, religious, and government studios in more than 75 countries. Learn more at www.broadcastpix.com.
