New Urban Town Homes Coming Within a 10-Minute Walk From Two Reston Metro Stations
Posted on October 19, 2016 in All News, Board of Supervisors, Land Use, Reston, To Know
Two years ago as it reimagined the areas around Reston's Silver Line stations, the county's new land use plan put 75 percent of future housing within a quarter to half mile from the rail stops.
On Tuesday, the Board of Supervisors approved the latest residential development to make this vision a reality. The action will bring 54 new, urban town homes within slightly more than a half mile from two Metro stations: Wiehle-Reston East to the east and Reston Town Center to the west. This location is about a 10-minute walk from either of the two stations.
The new homes will be built on an almost 3.5-acre site at the corner of Sunrise Valley Drive and Roland Clarke Place. Located at 11720 Sunrise Valley, the property is across the street from the Reston National Golf Course. To the east, it sits across from the site of the former American Press Institute building.
The property is currently developed with a six-story, office building known as the Reston International Center. Owned by Rooney Properties, the 31-year old office and parking lot will be torn down.
In its place, there will be four-story town homes that will range in size from 1,100 to 1,700 square feet. Each includes a deep garage in the rear that can park two cars.
The homes will incorporate, standard universal design features to allow residents to age in place. This includes step-less entries at the front door or from the garage to the house, 36-inch wide doors on the first level and door handles with levers instead of knobs. Future homebuyers also have the option to pay for even more features that will be made available.
The development also provides a quarter acre-pocket park located north of a private street that will run east to west through the center of the property. The park will include benches, a butterfly garden, public art, lighting and a bike rack.
To help make the connections to the two Silver Line stations, the developers will build six-foot sidewalks along Sunrise Valley Drive and Roland Clarke Place. The plan also incorporates a separate, 10-foot wide path for bicycles along Sunrise Valley.
Because the entrance to the community will be on Roland Clarke Place, the developers have a dedicated right of way for a future traffic signal at the corner of Sunrise Valley and Roland Clarke.

What's Flame Con About?
The LGBTQ community is separated into different groups that all too often don't mix or learn from each other's experiences: gays, lesbians, and bisexuals, cisgender and trans people, aces and bears… But comic cons are all about mixing! People of every size, gender identity and expression, age, color and type come to comic conventions to get geeky, expressing what makes each of us different, special, and awesome. A queer comic con is a great way to bring us all together under one roof. We'll learn about ourselves as a community, and explore topics that haven't already been paneled to death at other cons. We want to end the con having brought queer people from different parts of the rainbow closer.
Cons are about meeting people face to face. You get to revel in each others' creativity and open spirit. you connect. You realize that you're not alone in what you love. Or who you love - really, there are a lot of similarities between being a geek and being queer. Weird, niche interests don't have to be isolating, and meeting others who are into what you're into makes your passions that much more fun! Come out! You'll find that you're part of something that doesn't just begin and end with the con!
Showcasing Cool Queer Stuff
We love pop culture, and there's a lot happening now in comics, TV and movies that seems to be catering to non-straight tastes. From Orphan Black to Dragon Age to Arrow to Gone Home, there are queer characters and call-outs...subplots and inclusive themes. Sweaty workouts. Girls kissing. Gay gaming options. The entire world of fanfic... Still, enjoyable stories and ideas that are explicitly queer are rare, and often controversial. We've been enjoying queer winks and nods since the dawn of literature. We want to enjoy stories that don't rely on subtext and innuendo to create believable, honest portrayals of LGBTQ experiences. So, let's have a con that just puts it out there! You won't have to scan the floor for a rainbow flag just to find a queer-friendly artist. You won't have to sift through tables and tables of comics just to find a story with two boys or two girls kissing. Think of it: All the amazing queer art you always hope you can find at a big con, ALL IN ONE PLACE!

French mathematician
Erik Gregersen
Cédric Villani, (born Oct. 5, 1973, Brive-la-Gaillarde, France), French mathematician who was awarded the Fields Medal in 2010 for his work in mathematical physics.
Villani studied mathematics at the École Normale Supériere in Paris. He received a master's degree in numerical analysis from Pierre and Marie Curie University in Paris in 1996 and a doctorate in mathematics from the University of Paris Dauphine in 1998. From 2000 to 2010 he was a professor of mathematics at the École Normale Supériere in Lyon, and in 2010 he became a professor of mathematics at the University of Lyon.
Villani was awarded the Fields Medal at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Hyderabad, India, in 2010 for his work involving entropy. The amount of molecular disorder, or randomness, of a system is measured by entropy. Entropy always increases in a system until it is in thermal equilibrium with its environment. However, the rate at which entropy increases was unknown until 2005, when Villani and French mathematician Laurent Desvillettes determined that entropy did not increase at a constant rate. In 2009 Villani and French mathematician Clément Mouhot proved Soviet physicist Lev Landau's conjecture that plasma reaches equilibrium without increasing its entropy. Villani also found applications for the mathematical study of entropy in differential geometry and in transport theory.

IKK presents textile recycling at the world's largest plastics trade fair
IKK | Circular economy, digitalization and climate protection are this year's leading themes at K in Düsseldorf. Fittingly, among 3,500 other exhibitors from around the world the IKK – Institute of Plastics and Circular Economy will present mechanical recycling of textile waste from October 19 to 26, 2022.
The world's most important plastics and rubber trade fair, the "K" in Düsseldorf, opens its doors in October 2022. For eight days, it will once again become the marketplace for national and international players in the plastics industry. Almost 3,500 exhibitors will present innovations to the expected 220,000 visitors.
The key themes of K: circular economy, digitalization and climate protection
This year's leading themes include the circular economy, digitization and climate protection, decisively shaped by the K Scientific Council, consisting of eight experts. Among them is Prof. Dr. Hans-Josef Endres, head of the IKK.
The IKK is particularly committed to the topic of "circular economy" not only within the framework of the trade show. Under this umbrella term, the K will feature the recycling of plastics and the standardization of recyclates, as well as microplastics in the environment, biobased and biodegradable plastics, and CO2 as a new building block for polymers. These topics are presented in a sophisticated way, especially for young researchers.
Textile recycling in cooperation with ThermoFisher, Vaude and Gerry Weber
The topic of the circular economy will also be addressed at IKK's own stand. Here, granules are extruded from recycled textiles using a strand pelletizing system.
Whether it's an outdoor jacket from Vaude or a T-shirt from Gerry Weber, textiles can also be recycled. "At the institute, we look at textiles, which are often made of plastic fibers, just like plastics," says Endres, "which is why, here too, the purer we get the textile waste from our industrial partners, the better they can stay in the cycle and be recycled!" The challenge, however, is fabrics or blended fabrics that consist of different materials.
Pure polyesters or polyamides can be completely melted down and purified without any problems. High-quality plastic recyclates can be easily generated from these plastics and processed into new products. In the case of textile blends, on the other hand, the melt filters have to take over the purification and separate the individual components in the best possible way. However, the filters must often be able to clean themselves in the process. So this process has an additional technical challenge.
Before the fabrics can be recycled, they are shredded to enable precise and homogeneous feeding into the extruder. A particle size of 4-10 mm is possible by using different screen sizes (Wanner mill) at IKK. The particle size chosen by the scientists for their tests depends to a large extent on the comminution behavior of the selected recycling plant and its dosing technology.
At the IKK booth, the extrusion of a polyester regranulate obtained from post-industrial textile waste of the Gerry Weber company will be presented in the Process 16 twin-screw extruder of ThermoFisher Scientific.
This laboratory version offers all the functions of a large twin-screw extruder and enables the production of plastic granules from various thermoplastics on a laboratory scale. The microgranules can be injection moulded or used in the form of filaments in 3D printing. In addition, the plant is a modular system that can be expanded without restriction with a melt pump, a filter system and a vacuum system. For IKK, this results in very good technical flexibility, which is enormously important for the implementation of the research project.
Circular economy for more sustainability in the fashion industry
In 2018, the amount of waste from textiles in the EU was over 2 million tons and in Germany just under 340,000 tons (Eurostat). Fast fashion i.e., short-lived fashion, is increasingly coming under criticism among consumers who are becoming more and more environmentally conscious. In fashion, too, sustainability and product durability are increasingly making a significant contribution to environmental protection and resource conservation. To this end, product design that offers better recyclability is an important step towards the responsible use of available raw materials.
The topic of the circular economy will be addressed from a scientific perspective at the Science Campus in Hall 7 of the K trade fair. There you will also find the booth of the IKK, booth number: SC14.
Together with the exhibitors, the development of the plastics and rubber market will be shaped in a forward-looking and sustainable way. The IKK staff is looking forward to a lively exchange with the trade fair visitors.

Next big thing in Pakistan cricket, Mohammad Amir on nephew of famous captain
Mohammad Amir: "Next big thing in Pakistan cricket will be Imam-ul-Haq. Keep shining bro"
Pakistan left-arm seamer Mohammad Amir said opening batsman Imam-ul-Haq is the "next big thing in Pakistan cricket".
Imam, who is the nephew of legendary Pakistan captain and batsman Inzamam-ul-Haq, has become Pakistan's go-to opener in ODIs and has done well in Test cricket as well.
In the recent two-Test series against Sri Lanka, he amassed 118 runs at an average of 29.50.
Before that, he accumulated 370 runs in three Tests against Australia, which included two centuries and a fifty, at an average of 74.
He then scored 298 runs in three ODIs, which included two hundreds and a fifty, at an average of 149.
As for the three-match ODI series against the West Indies, Imam made 199 runs, which included three half-centuries, at an average of 66.33.
"Next big thing in Pakistan cricket will be Imam-ul-Haq. Keep shining bro," Amir said on Twitter.
Pakistan's next series will be against the Netherlands and consist of three ODIs that will be played in Rotterdam from August 16 to 21.
The men in green will then head to the UAE for the Asia Cup, which will be held from August 27 to September 11.

Das Pumpspeicherkraftwerk Kruonis (, KPSP) bei Kruonis (in der Rajongemeinde Kaišiadorys) in Litauen wurde von 1974 bis 1992 erbaut. Sein Hauptzweck ist, einen Energiespeicher und Reserve für das Stromnetz zu bieten, um die Lastkurve mit unterschiedlich hohem Verbrauch im Tagesverlauf zu regulieren. Das Pumpspeicherkraftwerk arbeitet in Verbindung mit dem Wasserkraftwerk Kaunas. Während Tageszeiten mit Leistungsüberschuß, dies ist meistens nachts, wird das Kraftwerk im Pumpmodus betrieben und pumpt Wasser mit überschüssiger elektrischer Energie aus dem niedrigeren Kaunasser Stausee in das obere Becken. Während hoher Energienachfrage, typisch Wochentags in der Früh- und Abendspitze, lässt das Pumpspeicherkraftwerk Wasser aus dem oberen Becken in das untere laufen, wodurch die elektrische Energie wieder gewonnen wird. Mit voll gefülltem oberen Becken kann das Kraftwerk ungefähr zwölf Stunden lang 900 MW erzeugen. Früher wurden, um das Leistungsdefizit im Stromnetz im Falle eines Ausfalls des Kernkraftwerk Ignalina schnell ausgleichen zu können, die Generatoren des Pumpspeicherkraftwerks Kruonis automatisch in Betrieb genommen. Das Kernkraftwerk wurde Ende 2009 außer Betrieb genommen.

Die elektrische Leistung aus diesem Kraftwerk wird über eine 330-kV-Leitung von Elektrėnai, wo das Elektrėnai-Kraftwerk, das größte fossile Kraftwerk in Litauen, steht, nach Kaunas geleitet.

Technische Daten
Derzeit hat das Pumpspeicherkraftwerk Kruonis eine installierte Leistung von 900 MW in vier Einheiten von je 225 MW. Die geplante Leistung des Pumpspeicherkraftwerks nach Erweiterung ist 1.600 MW in acht Einheiten von je 200 MW.

Pumpturbinen
Das Pumpspeicherkraftwerk verfügt über radialachsige Pumpturbinen mit einem Durchmesser von 6,3 m, die mit 150 Umdrehungen pro Minute und einer Nenndruckhöhe von 100 m betrieben werden. Im Turbinenbetrieb leisten die Pumpturbinen jeweils 205 MW bei einem Durchfluss von 226 m³/s, im Pumpbetrieb leisten sie 217 MW bei einem Durchfluss von 189 m³/s.

Generatoren
Die vertikalachsigen Synchrongeneratoren haben eine Leistung von jeweils 236 MW bei einer Generatorspannung von 15,75 kV. Die Masse der Generatoren liegt bei 1120 t.

Umkehrkanal
Der Umkehrkanal ist 10 m tief, an der Wasseroberfläche 250 m und an der Sohle 189 m breit.

Rohrleitungen
Die Rohrleitungen sind 840 m lang, haben einen Innendurchmesser von 7,5 m und einen Außendurchmesser von 8,4 m.

Oberbecken

Das Oberbecken liegt zwischen 140 m und 153,5 m über dem Meer, die Sohle liegt auf 138 m über dem Meer. Es hat ein Gesamtvolumen von 48.000.000 m³, von denen 41.000.000 m³ durch das Pumpspeicherkraftwerk nutzbar sind. Das Becken hat eine Fläche von 3,06 km². Der Umfang des Beckens beträgt 6,8 km, wovon 6,3 km durch einen Damm realisiert sind. Das Einlaufbauwerk ist 127 m lang und 70 m breit.

Photovoltaik Kraftwerk
Im Speicherbecken des Pumpspeicherkraftwerks entsteht bis 2021 ein schwimmendes Photovoltaik Kraftwerk. Vorerst soll vom staatseigene Unternehmen Lietuvos Energijos Gamyba in Zusammenarbeit mit Wissenschaftlern der Technischen Universität Kaunas eine 60 kW Pilotanlage errichtet werden. Im Endausbau soll die Anlage eine Kapazität von 200 bis 250 MW erreichen und die derzeit installierte Solarstromkapazität in Litauen verdreifachen.

Subversion mirrors for Phing, Propel, and Doctrine
August 27, 2009 · Published by Fabien Potencier
The Phing and Propel Subversion repositories have suffered from long downtime periods quite often recently (last one was today). It is quite annoying as when it happens, you cannot easily update your symfony repositories, let alone the checkout of a symfony branch. To make things worse, the Doctrine repository also had some problems recently. A lot of symfony users are quite upset by the situation, myself being the first one.
To solve the issue once and for all, I have setup mirrors for these projects on the same architecture as the symfony one. It means that if the symfony repository is online, odds are the mirrors will also be available.
The symfony 1.2 and 1.3 branches have been updated to use the new mirrors. Nothing changed for symfony 1.0 as we were not using the remote repositories at that time.
The mirrors are open, so feel free to use them if you want (they are synchronized every 15 minutes from the source repository):

Nice! No more waiting for svn:externals ;)
Éric Rogé said on Aug 27, 2009 at 17:39
Great. Do you plan to update 1.1 and 1.2 latest tags to use new mirrors ?
Yılmaz Uğurlu said on Aug 28, 2009 at 21:00
Thank you, that was really annoying problem.
Evert Harmeling said on Aug 29, 2009 at 18:57
That's a really nice feature, was quite annoying when the symfony external hangs on remote externals, and results in a locked external itself... which corrupted your whole app... Great work!
Thanks Bruno Rodrigues de Araujo (@brunosinister) for being a Symfony contributor

Eric Prydz has made an announcement sure to turn the heads of any progressive house fan considering adding Creamfields to their 2019 festival itinerary. Earlier in the year it came to light that he would perform a B2B set as Cirez D alongside Adam Beyer, and now he's revealed plans to debut a stage show called V O I D.
V O I D stands for "visual offset isometric design" and consists of a setup designed exclusively for Creamfields' 15,000 capacity Steel Yard structure. Considering what Prydz has previously delivered with his EPIC and HOLO stage shows, the U.K. festival's attendees should prepare for a one-of-a-kind experience.
Creamfields has taken place annually since 1998 and then relocated from Winchester to Liverpool for the following year's edition. In 2006 it relocated to its current location of Daresbury in Cheshire; recent editions have boasted daily attendance figures of roughly 70,000.
For the first time ever, Creamfields will put Friday and Friday-Saturday tickets on sale. For more information, visit the event website.
Love was alive at Louis The Child's Electric Forest set.
Electric Forest just went down over the weekend and a very special moment happened. Louis The Child closed out Sherwood Court at 12:15 AM last night and had a marriage. Wait what?
Two lovebirds got married right before the LTC set, proving "Love Is Alive". Another couple got engaged at LTC's Paradiso set last weekend as well. Love must be in the air at their sets!
Check out the Electric Forest newlyweds below!


My daughter is the avid fan in our family of http://www.OnlySimchas.com. OnlySimchas enables my daughter to instantaneously celebrate with our old community in Canada as OnlySimchas provides a visual feast of all the latest simchas. That is precisely the objective of OnlySimchas as written in the OnlySimchas' mission statement, "to spread joy by listing weddings, engagement, births and announcements of other happy times so that they can be shared with others around the world." OnlySimchas then is a very important tool for the global Jewish community – or is it? I had never really pondered this question before until I started to wonder if all the tools of our computer generated world is desensitizing us to the enormity of our life changing, passing of rite celebrations. OnlySimchas is another tool to link us to the rest of the world with a click of the mouse so what is OnlySimchas really doing to our sense of simcha?
Ah, the old fashioned dream of romance; the idea that within our fast paced world we are still able to think towards and aspire to an island of escape, that there is still a time in our lives that we can stop and contemplate in stillness and silence a partner in our lives, that together we see a future of love, marriage and children, built on this moment of oneness –and together, the two of us alone, make an awesome pledge. And then comes along onlysimchas.com a website that just seconds after this powerful, private, intense moment blasts photographs all over the world for people who barely know. Is there a whole world of OnlySimchas users idling around during their work break, or OnlySimchas friends hanging out with nothing better to do then to check in at OnlySimchas and get the latest scoop? Is this a cynical take? Let's take it a step further. Perhaps now, the fame of being on OnlySimchas is going to people's heads so the first thing after becoming engaged is to get their photographs out onto OnlySimchas as fast as possible. This is not so far fetched because there was this wonderful article called "G-d only (Simchas) knows from The Daily Bang which described the plight of the world when the server for OnlySimchas crashed. This tongue-in-cheek article brought up some very astute reminders of what the world can come to when OnlySimchas takes over. A couple in the yichud room called OnlySimchas to find out why they could not look at the pictures of their chuppa already downloaded onto OnlySimchas and the answer to this unfortunate situation was that the server for OnlySimchas crashed during an overload of people using OnlySimchas as there had been a rush of engagements so that people could get their pictures onto OnlySimchas in time for their doors in their dorms to be decorated by their friends before everyone left for the winter break – phew! ….This little glimpse into the way engagements are conducted now that we have OnlySimchas.com is priceless. And it can make you cynical …But am I overlooking something here? Yes, the answer to the enormous benefits offered through OnlySimchas is very clear and simple – it is the incredible, delightful, innocent and pure emotion that should be deep at the heart of all of us when someone else is happy – we should also be happy!! In today's society that runs on UTube and MySpace where everyone wants their fifteen minutes of fame, OnlySimchas is the Jewish version. Fame continues with OnlySimchas because now everyone who shares simchas with OnlySimchas also gets their simchas announced on JM in the AM. Now there is only one other complication before we get carried away by the sheer beauty of OnlySimchas - that the above cynicism still may hold true. Nothing is perfect, people are always going to take the pure joy generated by OnlySimchas and subvert it. One misdirected person wrote an article for JewishHigh.com deciding that those happy smiling faces in OnlySimchas were really a prelude to divorce and that the angelic faces of new born babies on OnlySimchas were only years away from becoming photos on Americas Most Wanted due to the dysfunctional families they were going to grow up in. In other words – who are OnlySimchas fooling? But we have to go back to our basic tenet in romance and dating as epitomized by OnlySimchas– we all want to believe in a happy ever after ending and that is what OnlySimchas is giving.

SMPTE ST 2110-21: Taming the Torrents
By Wes Simpson
This is the third installment in a series of articles about the newly-published SMPTE standard covering elementary media flows over managed IP networks. This month, the focus is again on video transport, specifically the rules that help ensure that high-bitrate video streams are well-behaved and won't overwhelm the IP networks used to transport them nor overflow receiver buffers.
KEEPING STREAMS FROM OVERFLOWING
The full title of SMPTE ST 2110-21 is "Professional Media Over Managed IP Networks: Traffic Shaping and Delivery Timing for Video." Both of these terms refer to the same basic topic: how are the packets transmitted over the network, from the perspective of both the sender and the receiver? In other words, how should packet flows be sent into the network "pipes" so as to not cause flooding (of packets)? Answering these questions is crucial for properly provisioning network connections to support as many signals as possible without causing packet congestion, which could lead to packet loss.
To really understand the potential issue, it helps to deal with some actual numbers. Consider a 1080p signal with a 50Hz (European) frame rate that has a bandwidth of 3 Gbps on an SDI cable. At 50 Hz, a new frame of video is created every 20 milliseconds. Using constant-size packets, each with 480 pixels, would result in 4320 packets for each video frame. Using 10-bit sampling, 480 pixels would require 1200 bytes of data, plus 90 bytes of overhead, for a total of 1290 bytes per packet.
One way that this video signal could be transmitted would be using evenly spaced packets. In this case, 4320 packets sent every 20 milliseconds would mean that one packet is sent every 4.63 microseconds. On a 10 Gbps link, each 1290-byte packet would require (1290*8=10,320) bit-times to transmit, or 1.032 microseconds, followed by a gap of roughly 3.6 microseconds.
Another way that this video signal could be sent would be sending all of the pixels within a frame all at once. (This could hypothetically be the case for a device that was, say, generating graphics.) In this case, the sender would generate a burst of packets lasting 4320*10,230 bit times, or 4.419 milliseconds. This burst of packets would be followed by a gap of (20-4.419) 15.581 milliseconds until the next video frame was ready to transmit.
[SMPTE ST 2110-10: A Base to Build On]
So which of these packet transmission schemes is better? Well, both of the above streams have the same long-term average bit rate, of just about 2.23 Gbps. However, the first stream with evenly spaced packets will be much easier for signal receivers, switches and other network devices to handle. Why? Because the second stream will fully occupy a 10 Gbps data circuit for a significant period of time, forcing any lower-priority data that might need to be transmitted over that link to be placed in a buffer to wait for the link to become free. If higher-priority data came along during the data burst, then video packets would need to be buffered instead. Since network devices typically have a limited amount of buffer space that needs to be shared by multiple physical data channels, any signal that places heavy demands on buffers can cause problems, such as lost or deleted packets when buffers are filled up.
This issue becomes even more of a problem when multiple senders are all trying to transmit bursts of data at the same time, as would frequently occur in applications where several video sources are locked to a common clock. Therefore, to prevent network problems and to make it easier to design signal receivers, it makes sense to set some limits on the size and duration of packet bursts. These limits are often called "traffic shaping" and/or "delivery timing" in networking jargon.
TYPE N, NL AND W VIDEO SOURCES
The ST 2110-21 standard defines three types of senders: N (for Narrow), NL (for Narrow Linear) and W (for Wide). These types define limits for the amount of packet delay variation (i.e. the burstiness) that a sender is allowed to exhibit in its output stream.
Type NL is the easiest to understand, and corresponds to a stream where all the packets for a video signal are evenly spaced across the duration of each video frame (i.e. a stream that is like the first example given in the preceding section). The SDP (Session Description Protocol) for this type of stream must include a parameter "TP=2110TPNL."
[SMPTE ST 2110-20: Pass the Pixels, Please]
Type N is similar to Type NL, except that the sender doesn't send packets during the time that would correspond to the VBI (Vertical Blanking Interval) or VANC (Vertical Ancillary data space) of the corresponding traditional SDI video signal. Thus, a Type N sender would be able to send packets in a stream that would have a noticeable gap that occurs during each video frame period. For example, in a 720p signal running at 50 frames per second, and a VANC equal in duration to 30 lines of video, the sender would deliver packets for (720/750*20 milliseconds) 19.2 milliseconds out of every 20 milliseconds, and have a 0.8 millisecond gap when no packets are sent. Note that this would be the behavior that would be the easiest to implement if an incoming SDI signal was simply converted to ST2110 packets whenever active video samples arrive. The SDP for this type of stream must include a parameter "TP=2110TPN."
Type W senders are allowed to have a significantly greater burstiness. This category was included in the ST 2110-21 standard to accommodate software-based senders, such as a graphics generator. For Type W flows, senders can have at least quadruple the amount of burstiness as a Type N or a Type NL, and in many cases much more. While this looser tolerance should make things better for a sender (particularly one that is implemented on a virtual machine), it does have consequences for receivers, which require a corresponding increase in the size of their input buffers. This can be costly, both in terms of the raw amount of memory that is required as well as in terms of delay for an incoming signal. Type W streams will also tend to consume larger amounts of buffer space within network switches and other devices; applications with significant quantities of Type W senders will need to be implemented using network devices that have sufficiently large internal memories. The SDP for this type of stream must include a parameter "TP=2110TPW."
Fig. 1 shows a comparison of the three different sender types. Each of the three types is shown with a simplified representation of the packet flows along with a moving average of the bit rate. Note that for type NL, the moving average bit rate is flat, showing that these flows are the best behaved. Type N shows an increase in average bit rate during active video and a decline during the VANC. For Type W, the average rate shows even larger flow rate surges and drops.
Receivers are also categorized in ST 2110-21, but this information is not required to be transmitted with SDP. A Type N receiver should be able to correctly receive a flow originating from either a Type N or a Type NL sender(but not a Type W), provided that the receiver is locked to the same clock as the sender and that sender is aligned to the SMPTE ST 2059-1 Epoch. A Type W receiver should be able to receive a stream from an N, NL or W sender, provided the receiver is locked to the same clock as the sender. A Type A (for Asynchronous) receiver should be capable of receiving a stream from any type of sender, regardless of clock source or signal phase.
PRACTICAL CONSIDERATIONS
For time-sensitive flows within a media facility, such as a live broadcast, Type N or NL senders will tend to dominate, because they are the easiest to multiplex together and require the least amount of buffering in the network and at receivers, and therefore introduce the smallest amount of end-to-end delay. If Type W senders are present in a network, receivers will also need to be Type W to be able to receive these flows. For non-frame-accurate applications, such as monitors and multiviewers, or when synchronization between senders and receivers is not present, Type A receivers can be used to accommodate any type of ST 2110 uncompressed video flow.

ICED EARTH's JON SCHAFFER Says DEMONS & WIZARDS Will Be 'The Focus' Of His Creative Energy This Year
ICED EARTH mainman Jon Schaffer has confirmed that he will spend some time later this year working on material for the long-awaited third album from DEMONS & WIZARDS, his side project with BLIND GUARDIAN frontman Hansi Kürsch.
DEMONS & WIZARDS was launched in 1997 and has released two full-length albums so far: 2000's self-titled effort and 2005's "Touched By The Crimson King". The latter was partially based on the "The Dark Tower" series of books (written by Stephen King) in which the Crimson King is the main antagonist.
Schaffer touched upon DEMONS & WIZARDS' future plans while speaking to Capital Chaos TV about ICED EARTH's current record-label situation, having completed the latter band's deal with Century Media with the release of last year's "Incorruptible" album.
Asked how ICED EARTH intends to release its next disc, Schaffer said: "I haven't made a decision on that yet. There's a lot of labels that are interested, and we're looking at different business models, but there's no hurry for ICED EARTH to rush into anything. It's gonna be a while before we do a new record, 'cause this is so new. And the next thing on my docket is DEMONS & WIZARDS anyway, so that's coming later in the year — that's gonna be the focus of the creative energy this year. So we've got plenty of time. We're talking to some labels and looking at different options, but there's nothing set in stone yet."
Last summer, Kürsch told That Drummer Guy that songwriting sessions for the follow-up to "Touched By The Crimson King" had already begun, but that he and Jon had to take a break while they were both busy with their main acts. "Once he's finished with his touring for ICED EARTH, I'm pretty sure we will spend some very realistic and very valuable time together either finishing the songwriting of DEMONS & WIZARDS or even doing the whole production," Hansi said. "That depends. Usually we're very quick once we're together. And it's just great to work with such a gifted person which I call a very, very close friend of mine."
As for what fans can expect from the next DEMONS & WIZARDS album, Hansi told That Drummer Guy: "You will be surprised, I'm sure. These first two [songs] we've worked on, they are quite interesting. I'm really looking forward to spend some more time and getting deeper into the subject. Because even though ICED EARTH and BLIND GUARDIAN are quite similar in many ways, Jon and I are, songwriting-wise, different persons and by coincidence and pure luck and probably by friendship, the chemistry is pretty good once we are together. And what comes out is a blend of these two bands, which [one] would expect, but there's something more. And I like to go for this something more."
Hansi also sounded very optimistic about the possibility of DEMONS & WIZARDS live performances in support of the upcoming album. He said: "That really depends on how fast we are with BLIND GUARDIAN, obviously, and how the schedules will be worked out. But it would be a shame not to do so, at least being on the road for a festival season and doing some smaller club shows, for example, just in between… There should be a gap, and we are working on this gap. It would be a waste not to do so."
According to Kürsch, the main motivation for him and Schaffer to work on new DEMONS & WIZARDS material and prepare for possible live shows is "the need to do so and for the fun to do so. And this is always a very good starting point. We don't have to do it, there is no pressure behind us in doing so," he said. "Obviously, there can't be any pressure, because the last album is, I think, twelve years old already. And we just did some minimal touring for the first album and did not even do any proper touring for the second album. So I could imagine that just the performance will be so different from what either BLIND GUARDIAN or ICED EARTH is doing that this might attract a lot of people. I'm curious myself to figure out what we would come up with this time, because there's a long time between our last show which we played together, which is probably seventeen years ago, eighteen years. And we have to find the right people and the right moment, but the whole thing, once it is built up, will be, I think, very skillful."
"Touched By The Crimson King" was released in Japan in September 2005 with the following bonus tracks: "Lunar Lament", "Wicked Witch" (slow version) and "Spatial Architects". The CD also included the "Terror Train" video. The disc featured an appearance by HALFORD and SEBASTIAN BACH drummer Bobby Jarzombek.
Schaffer said in a 2009 interview that he felt "Touched By The Crimson King" was a bit rushed and he was determined to do things differently next time around. "We had this window of opportunity where we had to get it done and we kind of let time dictate the schedule instead of our feelings, and that was probably a mistake," he explained. "I mean, I'm proud of that record and it sold killer and it's a good album, but I think Hansi and I are capable of a lot more, especially when we get back to the root reasons of why we did this thing together."

White Liberals Can Make $12k A Day On 'White Privilege'
June 30, 2020 By Tristan Justice
Telling white people they're racist is turning out to be a lucrative business.
Newly uncovered documents obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation discovered that left-wing academic and architect of critical race theory Robin DiAngelo raked in more cash from a single speech than the median black household earns in three months.
DiAngelo, who authored "White Fragility" and is credited with creating the "white privilege checklist," charged the University of Kentucky $12,000 for a two-hour on-campus lecture titled "Racial Justice Keynote and breakout session." The $12,000 bill did not include costs for travel and lodging, according to the Caller.
DiAngelo's contract with the university also prohibited phone calls with event organizers and mandated all communications be sent through email to either her or an assistant. "If phone calls are deemed necessary, they will be charged at a rate of $320 per hour," the contract stated, according to a review by the Caller.
Charging honorariums for speaking engagements is standard practice for prominent figures. Universities often shell out large sums of cash to bring high-profile politicians, celebrities, or media personalities to campus, the overwhelming number of which lean left.
DiAngelo's event, where she promoted her newest book, "White Fragility: Why It's So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism," however, appears to be among the latest episodes of woke profiteering in the new business of telling white people they're racist outside of university liberal arts programs, which have been profiting off wokeness for decades.
In February, the Guardian reported that woke white women, who seem to be leading the recent mob protests gripping the nation, are dishing out upwards of $2,500 a night to host a pair of activists to tell them how they're all racist. The service, titled "Race to Dinner," was co-founded by Regina Jackson, who is black, and Saira Rao, who is Indian American, for the sole purpose of informing white women of their inherent racism. People can also consult with either Jackson or Rao for $300 a session to be told how they hate minorities.
