Viewing video in the Internet can be troublesome. Once a link is clicked on, there inevitably follows a delay while the stream is being buffered. People often get tired of waiting and move on to something else. The introduction of broadband has alleviated this problem to some extent but there exists still a large body of Internet users who do not have access to broadband. This book outlines a solution to the problem of streaming media through the use of Rich Site Summary (RSS) technology.RSS is a web content syndication format, commonly used to organise news and the content of news-like sites, it is however, is not restricted to news items, indeed any information that can be broken down into 'discrete items' can be syndicated via RSS, for example lists, or weblogs. Once data about each element is established in an RSS format, an RSS-aware program, such as an aggregator, can check the feed frequently for changes and updates and act accordingly.This book describes the implementation of a system which utilises idle computer time (at night or during the day) to subscribe to media RSS channels in order to download audio and video content. Thus when the user arrives in the morning, there are fresh bits, news clips, a song of the day, whatever, provided by all kinds of content providers, from big TV networks like CNN and MSNBC, to a Dutch school where kids are taking a film class using inexpensive video recorders and iMacs. Here the benefits are that when a video link is now clicked, it starts playing immediately, because it is already on the local disk thus the wait is zero. The quality is limited only by the size of the local disk and not by the capacity of the connection.

Cybersecurity in Emerging Digital Era

Anthony C. Ijeh

This volume is a collation of articles on counter forensics practices and digital investigative methods from the perspective of crime science. The book also shares alternative dialogue on information security techniques used to protect data from unauthorised access and manipulation. Scandals such as those at OPCW and Gatwick Airport have reinforced the importance of crime science and the need to take proactive measures rather than a wait and see approach currently used by many organisations. This book proposes a new approach in dealing with cybercrime and unsociable behavior involving remote technologies using a combination of evidence-based disciplines in order to enhance cybersecurity and authorised controls. It starts by providing a rationale for combining selected disciplines to enhance cybersecurity by discussing relevant theories and highlighting the features that strengthen privacy when mixed. The essence of a holistic model is brought about by the challenge facing digital forensic professionals within environments where tested investigative practices are unable to provide satisfactory evidence and security. This book will be of interest to students, digital forensic and cyber security practitioners and policy makers. It marks a new route in the study of combined disciplines to tackle cybercrime using digital investigations and crime science.

Marriage, Performance, and Politics at the Jacobean Court constitutes the first full-length study of Jacobean nuptial performance, a hitherto unexplored branch of early modern theater consisting of masques and entertainments performed for high-profile weddings. Scripted by such writers as Ben Jonson, Thomas Campion, George Chapman, and Francis Beaumont, these entertainments were mounted for some of the most significant political events of James's English reign. Here Kevin Curran analyzes all six of the elite weddings celebrated at the Jacobean court, reading the masques and entertainments that headlined these events alongside contemporaneously produced panegyrics, festival books, sermons, parliamentary speeches, and other sources. The study shows how, collectively, wedding entertainments turned the idea of union into a politically versatile category of national representation and offered new ways of imagining a specifically Jacobean form of national identity by doing so.
