Aereo-decision: Injecting New Uncertainty into the Liability of Online Service Providers
27 Jun , 2014 | by: Stefan Kulk
TV-over-Internet service Aereo suffered a major defeat yesterday, when the U.S. Supreme Court decided its service infringed on ABC's copyrights. Aereo offers its subscribers free-to-air TV programming over the Internet. The service depends on thousands of antennas housed in a central warehouse. On Aereo's website subscribers can select a TV show that will then be tuned into and streamed to the subscriber's device. For every user watching, Aereo dedicates one antenna, and in order to transcode and stream the show, Aereo stores a copy of the show in a subscriber-specific folder on its servers. Thus, instead of setting up an own antenna to pick up free-to-air TV, one "rents" an antenna from Aereo's antenna-park to remotely pick up a specific TV show, which is then streamed to an Internet-connected device.
Direct copyright infringement?
The issue before the Supreme Court was whether Aereo publicly performed the TV shows that it picked up and streamed to its subscribers. In other words, whether or not Aereo directly infringed ABC copyrights. The Supreme Court held that Aereo did.
The Supreme Court's reasoning goes back to two earlier decisions from 1968 and 1974 in which the Court considered the liability of Community Antenna Television (CATV) Systems under copyright law. These CATV Systems, which were the precursors of modern cable systems, picked up local television broadcasting from the air and carried the signals through cables to the television sets of subscribers. In these two decisions, the Supreme Court essentially held that these providers, by receiving and rechanneling the broadcast signals, performed a "viewer function" that was outside of the scope of copyright law. However, Congress, through the 1976 Copyright Act, overturned the Supreme Court decisions and included the functions performed by these CATV systems and other cable companies in the performance right.
Congress' rejection of the Supreme Court's CATV decisions to a great extent informs the Supreme Court's reasoning in Aereo. Because the Court deemed Aereo's activities "substantially similar" to those of the cable companies, and Congress intentionally brought the activities of the latter within the Copyright Act's reach, the Court argues that Aereo too performs copyrighted works. The technical differences between Aereo service and the service of cable companies do "not make a critical difference here", the functional similarities do.
Volitional Conduct
In its decision, the Supreme Court rejects the argument that Aereo's subscribers transmitted the TV shows to their screens, and not Aereo, which only provided the means to do so. In this argument, Aereo is compared to "a copy shop that provides its patrons with a library card", which falls outside of the scope of copyright's exclusive rights.
This argument, in particular the copy shop-analogy has been helpful to internet access providers and other online service providers in shielding them from liability for direct copyright infringement. Already in 1995, in Religious Technology Center v. Netcom on the liability of a Bulletin Board System-provider and an internet access provider for direct infringements, the District Court held that infringement requires an "element of volition or causation."
The volitional conduct-requirement has not just been applied in other cases of BBS and internet access providers, but made its way to cases dealing with direct liability of hosting service providers that hosted infringing content for others. In these cases the hosting provider is compared to an owner of a public copying machine that does not himself copy, but only provides the means to copy, distribute or display copyrighted works. Also service providers that, through automatic processes are more involved with the content they store, have not been held liable for direct infringement based on the volitional conduct-requirement. The Fourth Circuit Court's decision in CoStar v. Loopnet, on the liability of real estate listing service Loopnet's for user-uploaded images, is a good example of that.
The absence of "volitional conduct" does not mean online service providers cannot be held liable for infringements at all. Rather, their liability for involvement in infringements of others is looked at through an indirect infringement lens. This approach allows to take into account notions such as knowledge of and control over the primary infringements. It frees online service providers from copyright's strict liability regime and its mechanical application, and weighs their involvement in infringements primarily instigated by others.
The Supreme Court's "limited holding"
Although the Supreme Court in Aereo limits its decision to cable company-like activities, the Court is well-aware of the potential effect its holding may have for online service providers and other providers of innovative technologies. The Court notes:
"In other cases involving different kinds of service or technology providers, a user's involvement in the operation of the provider's equipment and selection of the content transmitted may well bear on whether the provider performs within the meaning of the Act. But the many similarities between Aereo and cable companies, considered in light of Congress' basic purposes in amending the Copyright Act, convince us that this difference is not critical here."
In particular with regard to remote storage services, the Court notes:
"And we have not considered whether the public performance right is infringed when the user of a service pays primarily for something other than the transmission of copyrighted works, such as the remote storage of content."
And with regard to new technologies in general:
"Aereo and many of its supporting amici argue that to apply the Transmit Clause to Aereo's conduct will impose copyright liability on other technologies, including new technologies, that Congress could not possibly have wanted to reach. We agree that Congress, while intending the Transmit Clause to apply broadly to cable companies and their equivalents, did not intend to discourage or to control the emergence or use of different kinds of technologies. But we do not believe that our limited holding today will have that effect."
Blurring the line between direct infringement and indirect infringement
Although the Supreme Court's notes that its holding is "limited", and it provides examples of services to which the holding does not necessarily applies (e.g. remote storage), the Court with its cable system-analogy does blur the line between direct and indirect copyright infringement. Justice Scalia in his dissenting opinion argues that the "this looks like cable TV"-rule opens the door to other analogies and distorts the sharp distinction between direct and indirect infringement:
"Third, and most importantly, even accepting that the 1976 amendments had as their purpose the overruling of our cable-TV cases, what they were meant to do and how they did it are two different questions—and it is the latter that governs the case before us here. The injury claimed is not violation of a law that says operations similar to cable TV are subject to copyright liability, but violation of §106(4) of the Copyright Act. And whatever soothing reasoning the Court uses to reach its result ("this looks like cable TV"), the consequence of its holding is that someone who implements this technology "perform[s]" under that provision. That greatly disrupts settled jurisprudence which, before today, applied the straightforward, bright-line test of volitional conduct directed at the copyrighted work."
Furthermore, by not providing criteria for determining when the new "looks like cable TV"-rule applies, the Supreme Court creates uncertainty as to whether the conduct of certain online service providers may amount to direct infringement. We have already seen District Courts wrongly applying the volitional conduct requirement to the conduct of certain online service providers (see Arista Records v. Usenet.com; Capital Records v. MP3tunes, 2009 WL 2568431; and Perfect 10 v. Megaupload, 2011 WL 3203117), or disregarding the requirement altogether (Arista Records v. Myxer, 2011 WL 11660773). The Supreme Court's decision in Aereo may only foster more confusion about and misapplication of the volitional conduct requirement.
European perspective
From a European (Union) perspective, the volitional conduct-requirement seems like a sensible criterion to keep online service providers outside of copyright law's direct infringement realm. Instead of creating ad-hoc exceptions, such as those for transient copies, and amassing an overcomplicated body of case law on what constitutes a communication to the public, the criterion helps to asks the relevant question: who caused the copy to be made or the work to be communicated? In that regard, it's too bad the U.S. Supreme Court in Aereo is clouding the direct infringement concept, and with it the distinction between direct and indirect infringement.

"The Essential Dykes to Watch Out for" by Alison Bechdel
From the author of Fun Home—the lives, loves, and politics of cult fav characters Mo, Lois, Sydney, Sparrow, Ginger, Stuart, Clarice, and others
For twenty-five years Bechdel's path-breaking Dykes to Watch Out For strip has been collected in award-winning volumes (with a quarter of a million copies in print), syndicated in fifty alternative newspapers, and translated into many languages. Now, at last, The Essential Dykes to Watch Out For gathers a "rich, funny, deep and impossible to put down" (Publishers Weekly) selection from all eleven Dykes volumes. Here too are sixty of the newest strips, never before published in book form.
Settle in to this wittily illustrated soap opera (Bechdel calls it "half op-ed column and half endless serialized Victorian novel") of the lives, loves, and politics of a cast of characters, most of them lesbian, living in a midsize American city that may or may not be Minneapolis.
Her brilliantly imagined countercultural band of friends—academics, social workers, bookstore clerks—fall in and out of love, negotiate friendships, raise children, switch careers, and cope with aging parents.
Bechdel fuses high and low culture—from foreign policy to domestic routine, hot sex to postmodern theory—in a serial graphic narrative "suitable for humanists of all persuasions."

Supreme Recruits: Meet V&E's Roster of Former Supreme Court Clerks
When Jeremy Marwell was completing a clerkship for Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor and weighing his next move, V&E's DC office was hardly an obvious choice.
The year was 2010 and the firm was just starting to build a Supreme Court and Appellate practice in the nation's capital. Joining at that early stage required a leap of faith for the young SCOTUS clerk.
"We are punching above our weight for a firm our size. We have enough critical mass in terms of experience to handle anything a client might want. At the same time, we are nimble."
"V&E was off the beaten path," Marwell said. "But the firm was committed to growing a first-rate Supreme Court and Appellate practice in DC. I was excited by the opportunity to be part of building that from the ground up."
Sure enough, in the years that followed, V&E would boost the ranks of its former Supreme Court clerks with a series of strategic hires across several practices.
In addition to Marwell, who is now a partner at the firm, V&E lured former SCOTUS clerks Joshua Johnson and Max Etchemendy. Each a star in his own right, Marwell, Johnson, and Etchemendy brought a deep knowledge of the Court, appellate procedure, and the ways to frame an appeal to maximize success.
Today, V&E's D.C. Appellate practice is a formidable adversary in appellate litigation, regularly appearing in federal Courts of Appeals around the country and the U.S. Supreme Court. V&E can step into a pending appeal at a moment's notice or shepherd a case from complaint all the way up to the Supreme Court.
V&E's former SCOTUS clerks found their skills and experience complement the firm's longstanding strengths in areas ranging from energy, environmental, and infrastructure litigation, to white collar, antitrust, and commercial disputes. Law360 recently named Marwell an "Environmental MVP" in recognition of his representation of several pipeline and industry clients involved in high stakes disputes at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. He was one of five attorneys in the country to receive the award.
Marwell, Johnson, and Etchemendy have further raised V&E's profile in the Supreme Court bar by serving as lecturers and advisors at the prestigious University of Virginia School of Law's Supreme Court Litigation Clinic. Through the clinic V&E is representing the state of Georgia in a high profile matter regarding the scope of a common-law exception to copyright protection that the Supreme Court has not addressed since creating it in a series of nineteenth-century cases. The Supreme Court recently agreed to hear Georgia's case.
"Jeremy, Josh, and Max bring a highly valuable, broad perspective on a whole host of cases," said Thomas Leatherbury, who co-heads V&E's Appellate practice. "They can think through complex legal issues. Their knowledge of the Supreme Court and the Federal Circuit and the D.C. Circuit is very, very helpful."
"Their briefing sparkles," added Marie Yeates, who co-heads V&E's Appellate practice alongside Leatherbury. "They enhance our practice because they're such stellar lawyers."
V&E's efforts to bolster its ranks of former SCOTUS clerks has extended beyond its Appellate practice.
Maritza Okata, a former clerk for Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer, joined the firm in 2011 shortly after Marwell arrived. She is a Mergers & Acquisitions and Private Equity partner. After a brief stint in the firm's Washington, DC office, Okata is now based in New York.
Last year V&E lured Ron Tenpas, who had clerked for then-Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist. A former Assistant Attorney General for the Environment and Natural Resources Division of the U.S. Department of Justice and a former United States Attorney, Tenpas is one of the country's preeminent environmental litigators and white-collar practitioners.
"We are punching above our weight for a firm our size," said Tenpas, who is an Environmental and Natural Resources and Government Investigations partner at the firm. "We have enough critical mass in terms of experience to handle anything a client might want. At the same time, we are nimble. We give every matter the appropriate attention."
V&E+ recently caught up with V&E's former SCOTUS clerks to talk about their Supreme Court experiences and the ways in which their clerkships changed them professionally and personally.
Over the next few weeks, we will be publishing their stories. Read on to learn how Johnson's clerkship for Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg helped shape his career.

The finders – 80's child sex cult covered up by U.S. Intelligence agencies exposed
11/06/2019 / By News Editors
Late last month, the FBI Records Vault released declassified documents on "The Finders". The documents reveal a rabbit hole regarding a U.S. intelligence cover-up of child sex abuse, ritual sacrifice, and much more concerning a cult called "The Finders".
(Article by Jon Hall republished from FMShooter.com)
Very early in the document, the text specifies that the investigation took a look into whether the United States Intelligence Community played a role in the sexual abuse of children perpetrated by The Finders. Further reading details that investigators believed that "the abuse was part of a large, well organized scheme".
Preliminary investigation of The Finders saw prosecution declined in 1987. During a search of their properties, computer equipment and files containing instructions for obtaining children were found. Female members were impregnated solely to sell, purchase, trade, and kidnap kids.
Back as far as 1987, the FBI covered up the sexual abuse of children.
Extensive tunnel systems were found underneath a preschool associated with The Finders, and pentagrams were found on a plastic plate in the play area of the school. The fire alarm system did not connect to a fire station but instead acted as an alert within the school. Over 100 animal bones were found under the floors of the preschool.
The investigation into The Finders only began because of a tip called into police regarding 6 dirty, cranky children in a park in Tallahassee, Florida being supervised by one man. Police arrested the man for child abuse, realizing the children were malnourished and not properly cared for as they were traveling across the country.
However, the six children recovered in Tallahassee were returned to people "claiming" to be parents or guardians. Police interviews with members of The Finders saw each of them stating no one engaged in sex with children, no ritual abuse occurred, the group wasn't a Satanic cult, and all of the children belonged to the mothers who testified.
The mothers were even sure to specify that images of their children with slaughtered goats wasn't ritual sacrifice, but rather "hands on" experience.
The testimonies caused authorities to decline prosecution.
Another page details the Finders involvement with the CIA. Isabelle, a deceased member of the Finders, worked for the CIA between 1950 and 1971. The CIA was also aware of travel to Moscow, North Korea, and North Vietnam by The Finders. After a search of a farm owned by The Finders in Virginia, multiple cages were found – which witnesses revealed were used to "hold children" during visits…
Not to mention:
Search warrants divulged The Finders had classified maps of underground tunnels and sewer systems in Washington, D.C.
Someone associated with The Finders apparently had access to Andrews Air Force Base and claimed if word was given to cult members to flee, they would get a military plane and fly to China.
A doctor confirmed to an investigator that at least 2 children within The Finders were sexually abused.
Books on mind control were found in a warehouse owned by The Finders after a search warrant.
An investigator wondered where all of the evidence he saw went after being told that the items he was remembering did not exist with what was seized with search warrants.
None other than Robert Mueller shut down the FBI investigation into The Finders.
There are many pertinent questions to ask after the immense scale of everything uncovered when researching The Finders. To what extent did U.S. intelligence agencies have with or fund The Finders? Where are the children abused by the cult at now? Do The Finders still exist in any capacity?
Why release unclassified documents on this pedophile, child-abusing, Satanic cult 30 years after the fact?
With NXIVM, a modern example similar to The Finders, light slowly continues to be shed on different clandestine organizations (and, certainly, people) operating within our society that prey on both children and the vulnerable for perverted and sick purposes of sexual deviancy. How many more examples will be uncovered before we ask if there is perhaps a pattern behind precedents?

Phillies Mid Season Review: Offense
In our Midseason Review, we will grade out the entire Phillies team by position with each Phillies Nation blogger gives you his/her take on the season thus far. Here's how we grade out the Phils offense:
Starting Nine
Jimmy Rollins:
Since he missed most of the season due to injury, it's hard to put a grade on Rollins. Before he was first placed on the disabled list, he showed tremendous patience at the plate. However, after his second return, all his numbers dipped off. The injured calf is mainly to blame, but Rollins is a player who is capable of stealing many bases; he only has two this season. The Phillies are a much better team when Rollins is healthy; they need him to be the spark plug. (Grade: C+) – Amanda Orr
It's hard to get a beat on Jimmy, mainly because he's played so relatively little. The defense is obviously still there and isn't showing any signs of fading, but the bat is definitely not what it was to start the first week or so of the season. The infield fly balls that made 2009 so frustrating have started coming back en masse. What's critically important now is Jimmy's health through the end of the season; if his leg won't leave him alone, 2011 may not be an enjoyable a ride. (Grade: C+) – Paul Boye
Placido Polanco:
Despite losing at-bats due to his injury, Polanco remains near the league leaders in average (.318). He's not going to hit for power, but his slugging percentage is up from where it was at this point last year (.386 midway through '09, .433 midway through '10). Defensively, he has adjusted fine from second to third. The Phillies have gotten what they expected from Polanco. It's just a shame he's hurt. (Grade: B+) – AO
I was all aboard the Adrian Beltre train this past offseason, and his performance in Boston so far this year hasn't exactly made me forget that he was a viable alternative to Polanco. That said, what Polly has given the Phillies has been better than I anticipated, not so much offensively but certainly defensively. He's got good figures in UZR this half season, and considering he hadn't played the position with any regularity since 2002, I call that better than a plus. Sure, Beltre may have still been the better option (not backing down), but Polly ain't got me singin' the blues. (Grade: A-) – PB
Chase Utley:
He's the best second baseman in baseball, but he's having a down year — for Chase Utley. His month long slump put a toll on his stats. He's batting .277; he's usually around the .290 mark. He's slugging .466; he's usually over .500. His OPS is .849; it's usually over .900. It just shows how spoiled we are to watch a player like Chase. His "down year" is above average for most players. It hurts that he'll be out so long. (Grade: B+) – AO
His month-long slump was terribly odd, even though we've all become accustomed to the Phils slumping as team whenever they do hit the skids. His slugging is down, as Amanda mentioned, but that .466 mark he has is still fifth among NL second basemen. His .383 OBP leads the Senior Circuit (he has more walks, 40, than strikeouts, 37). And that's in spite of a .177/.298/.250 stretch over 27 games from May into June. Look, the guy is still damn good. He is getting older and will eventually start to slow down, but assuming he doesn't rush back from this thumb injury, he'll pick up where he left off. He still plays superior defense, and that helps keep his grade high despite the long slump and injury. (Grade: B+) – PB
Ryan Howard:
His batting average is way up. His strikeout numbers are way down, but so are his power numbers. Decide which Ryan Howard you like more: the one that will hit tons of home runs but strike out quite a bit, or the one that will hit for average, strike out less, but will also hit less home runs? You decide. He's having a very good season, but I'd still like to see a bigger power display from him. (Grade: B+) – AO
I think people will have a hard time taking whatever I say about Howard as unbiased, as I have a long, colored history of railing against the man. I will say that there are a few things I do like about his season thus far: contact is up, K rate is down, performance against lefties is improved and anything in the field that doesn't involve a throw to second base looks pretty good. On the other hand, Howard's power is looking almost average among first basemen and he isn't getting on base at a clip worthy of his enormous extension. Relative to other first basemen, Howard isn't elite this year. But we have the late summer yet to come. (Grade: B) – PB
Werth has had his ups and downs, but he has put together a solid year at the plate. A line of .286 AVG/ .371 OBP/ .531 SLG/ .902 OPS isn't too shabby. He has 26 doubles midway through 2010; that was his total for ALL of last year. He has slumped, however when he is hot, he's on fire. (Grade: A) – AO
Jayson is another toughie to get a read on. His extra-base hit tear early this season was unbelievable, but during his down time he looks an awful lot like the worst of Pat Burrell. Like Burrell, Werth has a great eye and good patience at the dish, but when he scuffles a little, he has a hard time making good contact on even the most pedestrian fastballs, and he's made a few puzzling gaffes on D. Still, dude's having a really nice year and is still in line to be at the top of the OF free agent class this winter, along with Rays LF Carl Crawford. (Grade: A-) – PB
There have been a lot less "RAAUUUUUUUL" chants this year. Last season was one of Raul's better seasons, but this year he can't even come close to the numbers he put up with Seattle and Kansas City. (Grade: D+) – AO
He's 38. He's owed $11.5M next season, when he'll be 39. He's hitting .245 and slugging .401, and not exactly showing signs of improving. Hoo-boy. (Grade: D) – PB
Shane Victorino
I like that Victorino is attempting to steal. It seems like he is only Phillie that is attempting to. His slugging percentage is about where it usually is (.446), but his average (.252) and on-base percentage (.322) are lower than normal. The Phillies need him on base. (Grade: C+) – AO
Shane's a nice player. He's not a star, just a solid regular with enough speed to play a pretty good center field. His extension seems to be a pretty fair evaluation of his talent, given what he's provided the Phils. While his homers are up a bit, he's just not getting on base at a rate that I like; .322 is subpar, especially if he's to hit high in the order again, setting up Howard and Werth. (Grade: C) – PB
Chooch was having one of his better years at the plate before suffering an injury. The backstop is known more for his catching abilities, and has done a tremendous job defensively behind the plate, from calling the game to making game-saving plays. (Grade: C+) – AO
Another player whose numbers took a serious tumble as a result of a prolonged slump. Chooch was killing it for a while, and still has numbers well above his career averages in average and OBP, but probably won't keep those rates up when he returns from the DL. He's another guy the Phils need to have healthy, and if he can produce at a level anywhere near his current season totals from now through the fall, he'll be a big boost. (Grade: B+) – PB
During the offseason, Ruben Amaro gave the bench a whole new look, hoping to improve on 2009. Many of those bench players have turned into "everyday" players, thanks to numerous injuries. Charlie Manuel always says that he needs to give his bench players at-bats for them to do well. Players like Wilson Valdez and Juan Castro have done a decent job filling in for hurt players. However, when guys are called off the bench to pinch hit, like Ben Franciso, it usually doesn't end up in any sort of production. Filling in nicely, yes. Pinch hitting, not so much. (Grade: D+) -AO
It started out as well-below average, and currently sits at something still a few staircases short of mediocre. Wilson Valdez has actually been a decent replacement at second and third, BenFran has been better lately, and…well, that's pretty much it. The bench is still pretty bad, something that's painfully obvious this season with all of their injury issues. Is anyone else still not convinced that Dobbs's 2008 was a result of some seriously effective deal with the devil? It's ridiculous how far ahead that season stands from the past two. The onlythings that save this grade from failure is Dobbs showing a little life and Valdez doing good things when he isn't grounding into double plays. (Grade: D-) – PB

CREWS CONTINUE ASSESSMENT OF HIGHWAY 1 DAMAGE
AND MOBILIZE FOR REPAIRS
MONTEREY / SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTIES – Caltrans maintenance teams were able to perform assessments today within the entirety of the Highway 1 closure which remains in effect from Ragged Point in San Luis Obispo County to Palo Colorado Rd. in Monterey County.
Crews responded to multiple active slides within the closure area today.
Crews were also able to reach Paul's Slide (PM 22), where rocks, dirt, and water have breached parts of the catchment area behind K-rail and fencing. Highway 1 at Paul's Slide is impassible at this time. The gates at Paul's Slide are closed and will remain closed 24-hours a day.
The northern limit of the Highway 1 closure was moved north on Jan. 9, to Palo Colorado Rd. at Post Mile 61.5 at the request of CHP. Caltrans will continue to take advantage of any break in inclement weather to assess road conditions and provide access as long as the conditions are favorable for public travel.
Travelers from the south will encounter a closure on Highway 1 at the elephant seal viewing area, four miles north of San Simeon. A significant slide, one mile south of Ragged Point, extends over both lanes of travel. As a result, the highway is impassible at this location and is expected to restrict access to Ragged Point from the south for several weeks.

Canon Launches New Flagship DSLR – EOS-1D X
Full frame, 12fps and iso 204,800 means business!
Dan Carr
Canon has unveiled a new camera today which amalgamates the truncated 1-Series lineup. The new EOS-1D X officially spells the end of the 1Ds lineup and the 1Ds Mark III is confirmed to be discontinued now. 1D + 1Ds = 1D X. The new 1D X is a full frame 18MP, 12 frame per second powerhouse designed to offer something, if not most things, to all conceivable pro shooters.
An 18.1 Megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor.
A newly developed high-precision AF system with 61 user selectable AF points, 41 of which are cross-type points, and five dual cross-type points for extra precision.
A standard ISO range of 100 to 51,200 with three expansion settings – for ISO 50, 102,400 and 204,800.
Dual "DIGIC 5+" processors for fast image processing to deliver 18.1 Megapixel images at up to 12fps as standard and up to 14fps with super High Speed continuous.
Zone, Spot and AF Expansion focusing modes, plus subject type AF presets.
A 100,000-pixel RGB AE sensor with 252-zone metering powered by a dedicated DIGIC 4 processor.
+/-5 stops of exposure compensation.
A high-magnification transparent LCD viewfinder with 100% coverage with intelligent viewfinder display.
Super short 36ms shutter lag option.
30-1/8000sec shutter speed range.
An 8.11cm (3.2″), 1.04 million pixel Clear View II LCD screen.
Full HD EOS Movie shooting with Inter frame or Intra frame compression.
Auto creation of new movie file once 4GB file limit reached.
Timecode setting for HD movie shooting.
Manual audio level control with live level meters and adjustment during recording.
An improved EOS Integrated Cleaning System (EICS).
Dual CF card slots.
Touch-pad control area for silent setting adjustment during movie recording.
The Sensor
A full frame sensor is something that Canon shooters have been clamoring for in the 1D since Nikon got the D3. The interesting aspect is that they have listened to people views on the megapixel race and only made a very small increase over the 1d Mark IV which was 16MP. The new 18MP sensor is designed with one thing in mind, getting the absolute best performance in low light. With a standard iso range up to 51,200 this promises to be the new low light king! The previous 1-series was no slouch at all and that was a 1.3x crop camera!
Built In Ethernet
Built in Ethernet connectivity is a huge bonus which was no doubt asked for many times by Getty, AP and other such wire services. When it comes to photo delivery, time is money these days and many large sporting events like the Olympics and recent Rugby World Cup have cables everywhere to instantly transmit the images to a waiting editor in a trailer nearby. Images can be online with a couple of minutes of being shot but now Canon shooters will have no need for the additional adapters that were previously needed to accomplish this. This factor alone ought to see agencies scrambling to equip their shooter for the upcoming London Olympics in Summer 2012.
GPS Finally Comes to Canon
With the launch of the new GP-E1 Accessory Canon shooters finally have a way to embed GPS data right into the metadata of the images while being shot. Something which Nikon shooters have been able to do for some time now. The GP-E1 fits into the slot on the side of the camera which means you are still free to use the hotshoe which is great!
Redesigned Autofocus System
The sensor includes 21 f/5.6 cross-type sensors, 20 f/4.0 cross-type sensors, and 5 f/2.8 dual cross-type sensors. This means that the camera offers the same precision at f4.0 as the Mark IV did at f2.8. It also introduces a new system called EOS iTR AF (Intelligent Tracking and Recognition Auto Focus). This allows the camera to lock onto a particular color or even a face to aid tracking ability.
The news Canon EOS-1DX delivers an astonishingly fast burst speed of 12 frames per second, or even 14 frames per second in s special JPEG mode in which the shutter remains locked in the up position. My mind is boggled by this kind of speed, my current 1D Mark IV achieves 10FPS and that seems fast ! Honestly I'm not sure why they needed to go so fast, bragging rights ? The data that will be collected at 12FPS RAW 18MP files will be absolutely insane. 64GB memory cards will be a necessity !!
LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., October 18, 2011 – Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging, is proud to introduce a completely revolutionized EOS-1D series camera, the Canon EOS-1D X Digital SLR camera.* As the new leader in Canon's arsenal of professional DSLRs, the EOS-1D X will be a high-speed multimedia juggernaut replacing both the EOS-1Ds Mark III and EOS-1D Mark IV models in Canon's lineup. Enhancing the revolutionary image quality of the EOS-1Ds and speed capabilities of the EOS-1D series, the EOS-1D X DSLR features an 18-megapixel full-frame Canon CMOS sensor, Dual DIGIC 5+ Imaging Processors, 14-bit A/D data conversion and capable of shooting an incredible 12 frames-per-second (fps). Canon's EOS DSLR cameras and accessories have a long-standing legacy of providing high-quality results to professionals in a wide range of markets, including sports, nature, cinematography, wedding and commercial studios. The addition of this new model will help take this tradition to a whole new level.
The EOS-1D X announcement comes on the heels of Canon's recent manufacturing milestone with the production of the Company's 50-millionth EOS-series SLR camera in September of 2011. Furthermore, Canon will achieve yet another milestone at the end of this month producing the 70-millionth EF lens.
"The EOS-1D X represents the re-invention of the EOS-1Ds and EOS-1D series, combining new proprietary Canon technologies with the culmination of customer feedback and requests from the field. We are proud to introduce this camera to the worldwide community of professional photographers and cinematographers with the features and capabilities they need to capture the great moments that display their talent," stated Yuichi Ishizuka, executive vice president and general manager, Imaging Technologies and Communications Group, Canon U.S.A.
The Camera With Three Brains
The EOS-1D X features three DIGIC processors, including Dual DIGIC 5+ image processors capable of delivering approximately 17 times more processing speed than DIGIC 4, and a dedicated DIGIC 4 for metering and AF control. In conjunction with the newly developed high-performance 18-megapixel full-frame Canon CMOS image sensor, the Dual DIGIC 5+ processors provide high-speed continuous shooting, lower noise, and a significant increase in data processing speed than previous EOS-1D models. This new level of data processing speed allows the EOS-1D X to perform many functions including chromatic aberration correction for various Canon EF lenses in-camera instead of through post-production software. The DIGIC 4 processor utilizes a new 100,000-pixel RGB Metering Sensor for enhanced exposure accuracy with color and face detection, and works together with the camera's new EOS iTR (Intelligent Tracking and Recognition) AF.
The EOS-1D X employs a completely new imaging sensor, producing the lowest noise of any EOS digital camera to date for stunning portraiture and studio work. The new 18-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor utilizes large pixels – 1.25 microns larger than those in the EOS-1D Mark IV sensor and .55 microns larger than those in the EOS 5D Mark II sensor – together with gapless microlenses to achieve enhanced light gathering efficiency, higher sensitivity and less noise at the pixel level. The new sensor has improved on the already very high signal-to-noise ratio of sensor output of earlier EOS models for outstanding image quality, even in extremely low light. When combined with the Dual DIGIC 5+ imaging processors the results are stunning. The images produced with the EOS-1D X camera's new sensor are so clean that files can easily be up-sized if necessary for even the most demanding high-resolution commercial applications. The EOS-1D X will also feature new Ultrasonic Wave Motion Cleaning (UWMC), Canon's second generation self-cleaning sensor unit, which utilizes carrier wave technology to remove smaller dust particles from the sensor and it includes a new fluorine coating on the infrared absorption glass to help repel dust.
The low-light capability of the EOS-1D X is evident in its incredible ISO range and ability to photograph in extremely low-light conditions. Adjustable from ISO 100 to 51,200 within its standard range, the new model offers a low ISO 50 setting for studio and landscape photography and two high settings of 102,400 at H1 and 204,800 at H2, ideal for law enforcement, government or forensic field applications.
New 61-Point High Density Reticular AF
The EOS-1D X includes a brand new 61-Point High Density Reticular AF, the most sophisticated DSLR AF system Canon has ever released. The 21 focusing points in the central area are standard precision cross-type and effective with maximum apertures as small as f/5.6, depending on the lens in use. The center five points are also high-precision diagonal cross-type points for maximum apertures as small as f/2.8. All 61 points are sensitive to horizontal contrast with maximum apertures as small as f/5.6 and 20 of the outer focusing points function as cross-type points with maximum apertures as small as f/4.0. Other innovations of the new 61-point High Density Reticular AF include expanded AF coverage area, superior focusing precision and low light sensitivity, and greater low-contrast subject detection capability compared to earlier EOS AF systems. (See image below for AF point configuration)
All AF functions now have their own menu tab for quick and easy access (formerly AF custom functions in previous EOS models). A new AF Configuration Tool allows for customized setting of tracking sensitivity, the acceleration and deceleration of tracking subjects, and AF point auto switching, all of which are easily accessed and adjusted via the new AF menu tab. A built-in Feature Guide advises photographers on which settings to use according to subject matter.
Similar to the AF point selection options offered in the EOS 7D Digital SLR camera, the EOS-1D X offers six AF point selection modes: Spot, Single Point, Single Point with surrounding four points, Single Point with surrounding eight points, Zone selection and Automatic AF point selection. (See image below AF point selection options.)
EOS iTR AF: Intelligent Tracking and Recognition Enhances AF Performance
The Canon EOS-1D X features incredible new EOS iTR (Intelligent Tracking and Recognition) AF options ideal for wedding and event photography as well as sports and photojournalism. The default AF mode for the EOS-1D X uses phase detection AF information, while a new second option uses Face Detection technology to track recognized faces in addition to color information, ideal when shooting events such as tennis or dancing where facial recognition of the original subject will help keep that person in focus throughout the scene.
For the first time in a Canon DSLR camera, a DIGIC processor is used exclusively with the metering sensor for fast, accurate exposure control. The Canon DIGIC 4 processor takes advantage of the EOS-1D X's 100,000-pixel RGB Metering Sensor and utilizes 252 zones for general metering or 35 zones for low-light metering to help ensure accurate evaluative ambient or flash exposure. The new subject recognition capabilities enhance nearly all of the camera's automatic functions, helping to adjust exposure, autofocus, Auto Lighting Optimizer and Automatic Picture Style to the scene being captured for enhanced image quality.
Multiple Exposure Modes
The EOS-1D X is the first EOS Digital SLR to feature Multiple Exposure capability. The camera can combine up to nine individual images into a single composite image, with no need for post-processing in a computer. Four different compositing methods are provided for maximum creative control, including Additive, Average, Bright and Dark. Compositing results can be viewed in real time on the camera's LCD monitor, and there is a one-step Undo command that allows photographers to delete an image and try again if desired. The EOS-1D X's Multiple Exposure mode even allows photographers to specify a previously captured RAW image as the starting point for a new Multiple Exposure composite image.
Super High Speed Mode
The Canon EOS-1D X camera breaks new ground in the world of digital SLRs, offering a Super High Speed Mode which increases shooting speeds up to 14 fps at full 18-megapixel resolution in JPEG mode[i]. The new camera is also capable of shooting RAW, JPEG, or RAW+JPEG at speeds up to 12 fps in One Shot AF or AI Servo AF for enhanced performance in sports photography and other applications requiring high-speed digital capture. This new level of performance is made possible by the combination of the EOS-1D X's 16-channel readout CMOS sensor, Dual DIGIC 5+ image processors, and a completely new reflex mirror mechanism that has been engineered by Canon to combine high-performance with exceptional precision and reliability.
Enhanced EOS HD Video – New Compressions, Longer Recording
Centered around an all-new full-frame CMOS sensor with larger pixels than those found on the EOS 5D Mark II image sensor, the EOS-1D X utilizes new HD video formats to simplify and speed up post-production work. The two new compression formats offered on the EOS-1D X include intraframe (ALL-i ) compression for an editing-friendly format and interframe (IPB) compression for superior data compression, giving professionals the options they need for their ideal workflow. Answering the requests of cinematographers and filmmakers, the EOS-1D X includes two methods of SMPTE-compliant timecode embedding, Rec Run and Free Run, allowing multiple cameras or separate sound recording to be synced together in post production.
Canon's all new full-frame CMOS sensor ensures that video footage captured on the EOS-1D X will exhibit less moir© than any previous Canon model, resulting in a significant improvement in HD video quality. A desired feature for many documentary filmmakers using Canon DSLRs was to enable recording beyond the four gigabyte (GB) file capacity and the EOS-1D X is the answer. The new camera features automatic splitting of movie files when a single file exceeds 4GB. The new file splitting function allows for continuous video recording up to 29 minutes and 59 seconds across multiple 4GB files; no frames are dropped and the multiple files can be seamlessly connected in post production, providing filmmakers the recording time they want in the same convenient DSLR form factor. The camera records Full HD at 1920 x 1080 in selectable frame rates of 24p (23.976), 25p, or 30p (29.97); and 720p HD or SD video recording at either 50p or 60p (59.94). SD video can be recorded in either NTSC or PAL standards.
The Canon EOS-1D X also includes manual audio level control, adjustable both before and during movie recording, an automatic setting, or it can be turned off entirely. A wind filter is also included. Sound can be recorded either through the internal monaural microphone or via an optional external microphone through the stereo mic input.
Enhanced Ergonomics & Optimized Design
Photographers familiar with Canon's EOS 1D-series of cameras will notice the control configuration of the EOS-1D X takes a different approach to button placement. The re-designed exterior and ergonomic button configuration feels comfortable in your right hand, allowing seamless navigation through menu options.
The Live View Button has been conveniently placed near the user's thumb for one-touch switching between Live View and Viewfinder shooting. The Quick Control Button and menu navigation controls will allow users to change camera settings using only their right hand, for fast, simple one-handed control using their thumb on the scroll wheel. The new multi-controller is positioned by the right hand thumb when the camera is held for vertical shooting and enables the same level of control to camera operators when shooting vertically as they have when shooting horizontally. On the front of the camera are four user assignable function buttons, two for vertical shooting and two for horizontal shooting, allowing customizable button control when shooting in either position. The camera also features a level of weather resistance equivalent to earlier professional models such as the EOS-1D Mark IV.
Canon has answered the request of many professional EOS photographers and incorporated Dual Card Slots into the new EOS-1D X DSLR camera. The dual CF card slots will allow photographers to carry only one memory card format and still achieve instant image back-ups and enhanced storage capacity.
This camera also features a new shutter design with even greater durability and precision. Rated to 400,000 cycles, the new carbon fiber shutter blades are more lightweight and durable, allowing the EOS-1D X to achieve over 100,000 cycles more than the shutter of the EOS-1D Mark IV. A new shutter motion and new motor help further reduce vibration in the camera. The EOS-1D X also features an electronic first curtain, new to the EOS-1D series DSLRs, for minimal in-camera vibration during image capture.
For professional photographers who prefer a wired workflow and transfer system, Canon has included a built-in LAN connection in the EOS-1D X DSLR. The built-in LAN connection features a gigabit Ethernet Jack capable of 1000BASE-T transmission speeds, offering photographers a stable wired connection for ultra-fast data transmission. If the network were to go down, the camera will attempt to resend images until the files are sent. The EOS-1D X also features a direct image transfer function whereby images can be selected for transfer, and only sent once a LAN or USB connection is established.
Designed exclusively for the EOS-1D X, the new Canon WFT-E6A Wireless File Transmitter* features wireless LAN support for 802.11n network transfer rates providing users with increased communication speed when compared to previous models. With this new dust and weather resistant model, professionals can synchronize clocks on multiple cameras and use the unit to support linked shooting when utilizing multiple cameras. In addition, Bluetooth-compatible equipment can be easily linked to the device as well.
The EOS-1D X also offers an optional Canon GP-E1 GPS Receiver*, which can be easily integrated into the camera's body. Powered by the camera, this GPS receiver provides the same weatherproof resistance as the EOS-1D X, even at the connector. With an electronic compass on-board, the GP-E1 will log movement – latitude, longitude, elevation, and the Universal Time Code – and allow viewing of camera movement on a PC after shooting. The receiver will also record camera direction when shooting, even when shooting vertically.
The Canon EOS-1D X Digital SLR camera is scheduled for March 2012 availability and will be sold in a body-only configuration at an estimated retail price of $6,800.00. The compact, lightweight WFT-E6A Wireless File Transmitter is scheduled to be available in March 2012 and have an estimated retail price of $600. Availability for the GP-E1 GPS receiver is expected in April 2012 with an estimated retail price of $300.
**Super High Speed Continuous shooting at 14 fps requires mirror lock and JPEG mode at ISO speeds less than 32000.

Clogherny Parish, Co. Tyrone, Northern Ireland in 1837
Lewis' Topographical Dictionary of Ireland
Transcribed, Compiled and Submitted by

len_swindley[at]hotmail.com
CLOGHERNY, or CLOUGHENRY, a parish, in the barony of OMAGH, county of TYRONE, and province of ULSTER, 6 miles (S. E.) from Omagh; containing 6,785 inhabitants. This parish, anciently Donaghaneigh, is situated on the road from Dungannon to Omagh, and contains, according to the Ordnance survey, 17,791½ statute acres (including a detached portion of 2368½ acres), about 8,000 of which are arable, mostly under a good system of cultivation. There is a market at Beregh (sic) on Wednesday, and a fair on the first Monday in every month; and fairs are also held at Seskinore, on the second Monday in every month, for live stock. The principal seats are Gortmore, the residence of J. Galbraith, Esq.; Mullaghmore, of R. Burges, Esq.; Seskinore, of Mrs. Perry; and Somerset, of the Rev. J. Lowry. The living is a rectory, in the diocese of Armagh, and in the patronage of the Provost and Fellows of Trinity College, Dublin, who purchased the advowson in 1830: the tithes amount to £692. The church is a large and handsome edifice, built about 1746, and enlarged and much improved in 1773. The glebe-house was built in 1774, about which time the parish was disunited from Termon: it is large and handsome, and is on a glebe of 154 acres; there is also a glebe at Upper Clogherny, comprising 422 acres, and another called Mullaghollin, in the parish of Termon, comprising 508 acres, making a total of 1,084 acres of arable land, besides about 850 acres of mountain and bog. The R. C. parish is co-extensive with that of the Established Church, and is called Beregh; there are chapels at Beregh, Liskmore, and Brackey. At Dervethroy is a meeting-house for Presbyterians in connection with the Synod of Ulster, of the third class; and at Seskinore is one in connection with the Associate Synod. The parochial school, situated near the church, is a large and handsome edifice, built by the inhabitants, at a cost of £800, and is supported by the rector; and there are 11 other schools in the parish, also four Sunday schools. About a mile from the church are the ruins of the old church of Donaghaneigh, in a large townland, which is extra-parochial, and belongs to the Bishop of Clogher.


What Indeed are Dedicated Servers?
Home ⁄ Hosting Articles ⁄ What Indeed are Dedicated Servers?
When we talk about hosting web servers, there are 3 major types - shared hosting servers, VPS (virtual servers) and dedicated servers. Shared web servers host plenty of customers and therefore the system resources per account are restricted, VPS plans offer more server configuration autonomy, but also influence other private virtual web hosting servers on the hardware node if utilized heedlessly, and dedicated servers offer you the option to perform everything you desire without intervening with anyone else.
Dedicated servers are usually much more expensive than shared hosting web servers or private virtual web hosting servers. Why would anyone, then, use them? The explanation is rather simple. If your corporation has a data-heavy website, or just has very exact web server architecture requirements, the most sensible choice is a dedicated server. For someone who is prepared to invest in safety and stability, the bigger price is of no concern. You get complete server root access and can use 100% of the server's resources without anyone else using these system resources and messing with your online portals.
Most hosting vendors, incl. us at MilkyWayHosting.Com, offer several hardware configurations you can choose from in keeping with your necessities. The configurations include different types of microprocessors, a different amount of cores, different RAM and hard drive sizes and different web traffic allowances. You can pick a hosting Control Panel, which is a useful interface if you would like to use the web hosting server for website hosting purposes only and prefer not to resort to a Secure Shell console for all the changes you will be making. We offer 3 sorts of Control Panel software - Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel.
If you are a self-confident Linux OS user (our hosting servers are running on Linux or other Unix-based Operating Systems), you could administer your dedicated server via a Secure Shell connection only. That, though, could be inconvenient, even more so if you choose to give complete root access to somebody else who has less technical proficiency than yourself. This is why having hosting Control Panel software pre-installed is a brilliant idea. The Hepsia web hosting CP tool that we offer does not include root privileges and is mostly appropriate for someone who maintains many web portals that swallow lots of system resources, but wants to manage the web pages, databases and e-mailbox accounts using an easy-to-use hosting CP. The DirectAdmin and cPanel Control Panels, on the other hand, give you full root-level access and include 3 levels of access - root, reseller and user. If you intend to resell hosting packages instead of using the hosting server only for yourself, you should pick one of these two.
Last but not least, there is the matter of monitoring the dedicated server and of backing it up. In case of a predicament with your server, such as an unresponsive Apache or a downtime, it is desirable to have some sort of monitoring system enabled. Here at MilkyWayHosting.Com the system administrators monitor all dedicated servers for ping timeouts, and, if you have a Managed Services package, they monitor the separate services on the dedicated server as well. Backups are also an additional feature - the hosting solutions provider offers you data backups on our own backup web servers. You could select a type of RAID that would permit you to keep the very same data on 2 hard drives as a protective measure in case of a hard disk drive failure, or in case someone whom you have ranted full root access deletes something by accident.

Q: Not able to install Native Base in my react prject Does using expo react native doesn't allow to install native base ?

A: No, expo doesn't stop you from using any frontend package, because there is a specific way to install native base after installing native-base. Put the following code in your main react-native file
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { Root } from 'native-base';
import Main from "project directory";
import * as Font from 'expo-font';
import { ActivityIndicator } from 'react-native';

export default class App extends Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.state = { loading: true };
  }
  async componentDidMount() {
    await Font.loadAsync({
      Roboto: require('native-base/Fonts/Roboto.ttf'),
      Roboto_medium: require('native-base/Fonts/Roboto_medium.ttf'),
    });
    this.setState({ loading: false });
  }
  render() {
    if (this.state.loading) {
      return (
        <Root>
          <ActivityIndicator />
        </Root>
      );
    } else {
      return (
        <Root>
          <Main/>//Your main Javascript project file.
        </Root>
      );
    }
  }
}

A: It is documented in nativebase website. You will have to install expo-font and make some adjustments in App.js. The official documentation link is https://docs.nativebase.io/docs/GetStarted.html#Setup_with_Expo

Been a while since I did this.
One more technique I found helpful is keeping a "content ideas" file on my phone. Whenever a random idea pops into my head when I'm at the gym or about to go to bed, I go and add it to the file.
I think it's time to keep a list of content ideas again.
