A wooden toy train is a classic and popular children's toy that mimics the appearance of real trains. These toys are typically made from wood and consist of various wooden train cars, locomomies, and wooden tracks. Here are some key features and details about wooden toy trains:
Materials: Wooden toy trains are primarily constructed from natural wood, often painted in bright, attractive colors. The wood used is typically smooth and safe for children to handle.
Components: A typical wooden train set includes a locomotive (the engine), train cars, and wooden tracks. The cars can include passenger cars, cargo cars, and other variations.
Connectivity: Wooden trains often have magnetic connectors, making it easy for children to attach and detach the cars. This feature enhances playability and allows kids to create their own custom train configurations.
Tracks: Wooden train tracks come in various shapes, including straight tracks, curved tracks, switches, and more. These tracks can be assembled to create different layouts and designs.
Imaginative Play: Wooden toy trains encourage imaginative play. Children can create stories, scenarios, and adventures as they move the train along the tracks. This type of play promotes creativity and storytelling skills.
Fine Motor Skills: Playing with wooden train sets involves manipulating small pieces, which can enhance a child's fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination.
Educational Value: Wooden train sets can teach children about cause and effect, spatial awareness, and basic physics concepts like speed and momentum.
Safety: Wooden train sets are often considered safe for children, as they are typically made from non-toxic materials and do not have small parts that pose choking hazards.
Customization: Many manufacturers offer additional wooden accessories, such as bridges, tunnels, and stations, which allow children to expand and customize their train sets.
Collector's Items: Some wooden train sets are designed with fine craftsmanship and can become collectible items for enthusiasts.
Aesthetic Appeal: Wooden toy trains often have a classic and nostalgic look, making them attractive both as playthings and as decorative items in children's rooms.
Wooden toy trains have enduring popularity due to their durability, safety, and educational benefits. They offer an excellent way for children to engage in open-ended play and foster creativity while also learning about the principles of movement and mechanics. These timeless toys are loved by children and appreciated by parents for their quality and play value.


May The 4th Be With You All
May The 4th Be With You All: Today if you didn’t know is Star wars day. May the 4th is considered a holiday by some Star Wars fans to celebrate the franchise’s film series, books, and culture. Star Wars, an epic space opera written and directed by George Lucas, premiered in 1977 and became an almost instant cult classic. Even today, almost 40 years later, Star Wars remains one of the most financially successful films of all time. The franchise it began remains the most successful one of all time, earning over 2.5 billion dollars since the release of the first film. However, the money it’s earned over the years is hardly the most impressive aspect of Star Wars. As famous film critic Roger Ebert put it: “Like The Birth of a Nation and Citizen Kane, Star Wars was a technical watershed that influenced many of the movies that came after.”
“May the Fourth be with you” was first used by Margaret Thatcher’s political party to congratulate her on her election on May 4th, 1979, and the saying quickly caught on. However, the first celebration of May 4th took place much later, at the Toronto Underground Cinema in 2001. This first official Star Wars Day’s festivities included a costume contest and a movie marathon. Fans’ favorite parodies of the franchise were also enjoyed, as were some of the most popular mash-ups and remixes. Since then, Star Wars Day has gained popularity and is celebrated by Star Wars Fans worldwide. So we say to you may the 4th be with you.


Suffolk is brimful of unspoilt joys, but don't tell anyone...
Southwold is certainly a delight. A buckets and spades beach; the fine Adnams beer and unique boutiques, the award winning eating houses and the pretty little streets lined with beautiful painted cottages. From the harbour full of fish shops and children crabbing you can take a rowing boat ferry to the pretty village of Walberswick or a short drive to the fascinating old village of Dunwich (a city lost to the sea) and the nature reserves of Minsmere. Further south to the river and concert venue of Snape, and the uniqueness of Thorpeness with its house in the clouds. Further south to the sophisticated towns of Aldeburgh and Woodbridge.
And if you don't believe us...
Hear what The Times has to say about Southwold:
The beach is enlivened by bright windbreakers, cricket stumps and intense bucket and spade activity. Kites crisscross the sky. Children run in and out of the rows of beach huts.
A great video on the area from the Telegraph:
Find out what there is to see and do in sunny Suffolk, from sandcastles to historic castles there are plenty of sights to keep the children amused, and don't forget to sample the delicious fish and chips at the seaside.
The Independent :
A veritable heaven on earth.
The Eastern Daily Press :
You will find no "kiss-me-quick hats" here, but you will find a number of antique and gift shops. Southwold is also famous for its amber and its beer-Adnams brewery, which brews real ales popular with discerning drinkers well beyond the borders of Suffolk.

I was sent a free copy of this new children’s book to review and share with you. It is called Too Much Glue, written by Jason Lefebvre and illustrated by Zac Retz.
It is a very cute story of a boy who uses TOO MUCH GLUE on his artwork in art class, does a flying jump into the puddle and gets stuck there.
What I love about the book:
- It’s a unique story, I have not seen a story like this before.
- The writing is fun… with rhyming and alliteration such as “Soon I’m a melted mummy, clicky bricky, clingy stringy, blucky stucky mess.”
- It could be a cautionary tale for using too much glue (or on the flipside it might give some mischevious kids the idea to cover themselves in glue)
- The ending can encourage the kids to discuss what art can be.. “a me-shaped artwork”… can a dried shape of glue be art?
- The expressions on the characters’ faces are awesome. For older students you could probably incorporate this with a lesson on drawing facial expressions.
- This would probably be best for ages 4-6 or so. When my daughter was around the ages of 2-3 she was terrified of illustrations like this with the big eyes and huge expressions. She actually threw a book like this across the room screaming when she was younger. I read this one to her (she is now almost 4) and she did sit there entranced by it, not scared.
- Maybe you can encourage your librarian to include it in the school library. This would be a nice book to read when you have a few extra minutes at the end of a class.
Here is what the official description reads,
“What happens when you put copious amounts of glue in the hands of an impish little boy? Pure havoc, that’s what! Our newest title, Too Much Glue (written by Jason Lefebvre, illustrated by Zac Retz, for release: September 2013), is the wacky story of a boy who, despite his teacher’s warnings, lands himself in a sticky situation.
One day during art class, Matty pours the fullest bottles of glue on his desk, adds paper and sequins and sparkles, and with a plop and a shout of “Geronimo!” leaps on top of the desk to add the final decoration: himself. But when Matty tries to get up, he boings right back down! Will Matty’s classmates be able to pull him out or will Matty be a clicky-bricky, clingy-stringy, blucky-stucky glue boy for the rest of his life?
Zac Retz’s wildly expressive digital paintings and Jason Lefebvre’s lively language and zany refrain make Too Much Glue a must-read for the children and adults who know that the most enjoyable artistic endeavors are the especially messy ones.”
A preview of this book is available here, so you can flip through some of the pages.

The pool opens out onto a large patio area furnished with tables and chairs, the perfect spot to enjoy the afternoon sun or a game on the outdoor table tennis. Please note guests are not allowed to swim alone and children must always be supervised.
Our Games Room + Children's Playground
Our fully equipped and ultra-modern games room is packed full of fun for the young and old alike. Enjoy a game of pool accompanied by a few songs on the Jukebox or perhaps a table football or air hockey contest ensuring lots of fun for everyone. We provide a wide selection of books and DVDs to enjoy in your cottage in quieter moments.

Perfect in all weathers, or for an evenings entertainment for the whole family, the games room is open 24/7.

The playground patio has a view into the swimming pool and an outdoor table tennis table to enjoy. Or just sit back on the outdoor seating and relax while the kids have fun.
About the Farm...
Time does not seem to move quite so fast down here. Our interesting narrow and winding lanes help restrict the intrusion of unnecessary traffic. Peace and tranquillity is our speciality, whilst we still remain within easy travelling distance of many local attractions.
So why not take an early evening glass of wine or a picnic to the arbour overlooking Haytor and enjoy the stunning sunset. Wander down to the stone circle to enjoy some toasted marshmallows over the fire pit as the evening approaches.
Or for the golfers get some practice in on our pitch and putt area. Maybe a game of table tennis on the outdoor table. And of course the games room and pool are always open. There is always something to occupy all here at Lower Elsford Farm.
At the height of their productivity, a chicken will lay one egg a day, but will take a break from laying for part of the winter. Guests at Lower Elsford farm are free to help themselves to any eggs they find. Collecting and eating our fresh eggs is great fun and they are delicious poached for breakfast. We feed the chickens once a day, usually in the afternoon. Its great fun and all are welcome.
Our Sprocker Lola loves to chase sticks and is always excited to see you. You will see her around the farm pretty much all day. She is always keen to play, but be careful she may well lick you to death.
We nearly always have some sheep here, and the flock normally comprises between fifty and eighty animals. In the mating season, the Ram’s chest is colour marked to enable a regular check on progress with mating. The colour marking is changed every few weeks so that a prediction can be made of the lambing sequence. Sheep are inclined to be very inquisitive, and tend to assume that everyone has come to feed them. They are therefore quite likely to follow you as a flock, and may even surround you, but only in a friendly way.


Tredici Chamber Choir
Our aim is to perform some of the finest sacred music ever written to the highest
standards and strive to allow our audience to hear us, as far as possible, without
having to buy a ticket
Tredici is resident at the church of St Giles-in-the-Fields in Holborn. Our association with this beautiful 1734 Henry Flitcroft-designed church dates back to the choir’s formation, in 2004, when Richard Thomas was invited to assemble a group of singers for the Leprosy Mission's carol service. There were 13 singers at that first event – hence the name.
Over the past 18 years the choir's membership has evolved into the current group of around 35 - all of whom are experienced singers drawn from a variety of leading London choirs including the Philharmonia Chorus, BBC Symphony Chorus and London Symphony Chorus.
Our wide repertoire encompasses sacred music from the 16th to the 21st centuries and past concerts have featured masterpieces by such renowned composers as Monteverdi, de Padilla, Guerrero, Victoria, Tallis, Purcell, and Byrd through to Howells, Rachmaninov, Britten, Tavener and MacMillan.
We rehearse on Monday lunchtimes, for about an hour, but still strive to perform at near-professional standards and our ever-growing audience is testament to this achievement.
Please visit the CONCERTS page for details of forthcoming events, LISTEN to some extracts from our live performances and if you are interested in JOINING Tredici please contact Richard Thomas at firstname.lastname@example.org
We look forward to meeting you at one of our concerts very soon.

It was the best day of your life and you want to re-experience the magic; or maybe you need to reignite the love you shared on your big day; or perhaps you hit a milestone anniversary and want to celebrate big. No matter the reason why you want to renew your vows, we’ve got some low-key and high-end ways for saying “I do” once again.
It was once just you two, but now you have a family to boot. Let the kids take part in witnessing your commitment and love for each other by having them walk you both down the aisle and stand by your side during the vows. Get them more involved by having them officiate the ceremony. For an extra sweet touch, get matching outfits. If you’re wearing white again, get your daughter a matching dress. Same goes for father-son tuxedos. Everyone will feel and look like part of the plan.
Pick Your Dream Venue
This is a big celebration. No wedding etiquette rules apply. Go all out this time and throw the party your younger selves couldn’t afford. Start by picking a venue you wish you could have had the first time around. Maybe that’s on a beach or cruise ship, or at your favorite restaurant, garden or your best friend’s gorgeous backyard. It’s your opportunity to learn from last time
Party the Right Way
Keep the celebrations alive by ditching the traditional DJ and local band. Entertain guests with something more impressive like street artists, a drum line, or a mariachi band. Think way outside the box and invite a caricature artist, set up a mini wine bar, photo booth or even kissing booth. For the kids’ sake, hire a balloon artist for extra kicks.
Stroll Down Memory Lane
Remind your guests what fun they had celebrating your love the first time around by displaying your wedding album or making a picture board showcasing your wedding photos. You can also include a love line of how you got to today that may include when you met, got engaged, tied the knot, had your children, as well as your renewal date. Add photos to each milestone for a more visual display of your love story.
Invites and Decorations: Take Two
There are so many unique ways to tell your guests on an invite that you’re renewing your vows. Check out these fun invitation ideas on Pinterest. Once guests are at the celebration, keep telling them that you “still do,” with these fun, elegant and cute ideas. Keep the love-theme going by displaying your original wedding vows and renewed vows side by side.


KNOXVILLE, TN, February 15, 2016 — Waves Audio, a leading provider of digital signal processing solutions, is now shipping the Waves Abbey Road Reverb Plates plugin.
Introduced over half a century ago, plate reverbs have been a fixture of recorded music ever since. Used most prominently in the ‘60s and ‘70s by pioneering bands, including the Beatles and Pink Floyd, Abbey Road Studios’ original reverb plates — four EMT 140 units — were first installed in 1957 to complement the fixed reverberation times of the studios’ echo chambers. These beautiful-sounding plates, with a variable reverb time of up to six seconds, were then tweaked to perfection by Abbey Road’s technical engineers. To keep noise to a minimum, EMI’s Central Research Laboratories designed unique hybrid solid-state drive amps for Plates A, B and C. Plate D remained fully valve-powered on both drive and output stages, allowing a versatile array of sonic characteristics, from warm and dark to lush and smooth.
In each of these original plates, the stereo reverb effect is created by suspending a large sheet of metal with tensioned springs attached to each corner. A transducer injects the metal sheet with audio energy, which is picked up by two contact mics fixed to the surface of the plate. The reverb time can then be adjusted by using an internal damper, and all of this is contained within a large wooden unit.
These historic Abbey Road plates have been used on countless seminal pop, rock, classical and film recordings over the years, and continue to be used in all kinds of audio production to this day. Waves has now created meticulous models of these stunning and unique-sounding units, individually modeling the harmonic distortion of both the drive and output amps as well as the individual plate/damper behaviors.
Key features of the Waves Abbey Road Reverb Plates plugin:
- Precise modeling of four legendary Abbey Road plates (EMT 140), each with its unique sonic character
- A drive control to set the THD characteristics of the in/out amplifiers and the plate sheet itself
- Ability to control the amount of analog noise and hum
- Four original bass cut positions
- Crosstalk between the stereo inputs to get a stereo leak effect
About Abbey Road Studios:
Abbey Road Studios is the most famous recording studios in the world and a global music icon. Home to countless landmark recordings and pioneering advances in recording technology, the legendary studio complex has a phenomenal history spanning over 80 years, encompassing celebrated work by many of the world’s most famous recording artists including The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Kanye West, Radiohead, Oasis, Frank Ocean, Lady Gaga and Adele. Since the score for Raiders of The Lost Ark was recorded at the studios in 1980, Abbey Road has developed into one of the world’s premiere locations for movie scoring. Blockbuster films such as the Lord of The Rings Trilogy, The King’s Speech and Skyfall feature scores recorded there, while recent projects include the Oscar-winning score to Gravity. Additionally, a number of high-profile videogames such as Halo 5 and Call of Duty have recorded in-game music at Abbey Road Studios. The Studios house a number of state of the art mastering suites. Recent projects mastered or re-mastered by Abbey Road’s award-winning engineers include music from Sam Smith, Ed Sheeran, Queen, The Smiths, Depeche Mode, New Order, Mary J Blige. Abbey Road Studios also offers online mixing and mastering, audio products for professional and home studio music producers, live concert recording, archiving and video services. The Studios also host a select number of special events each year. Abbey Road recently launched Abbey Road Red, Europe’s only music-focussed technology incubator which supports the endeavours of entrepreneurs, research and developers. Abbey Road Institute recently began offering vocational diplomas in music production and audio engineering to students at the studio complex in London and state of the art facilities in Paris, Berlin, Frankfurt, Munich, Melbourne and Sydney.

T-shirts #4 and #5, 2 for 1: Star Wars Hockey Imperial Conference and Yoda Santa, An Elf I Am Not
Continuing my week of Star Wars t-shirts, these were both given to me as Christmas presents in the last few years.
I wore the hockey one to Buffone today, and will be wearing Yoda at Hope Lodge to most likely give the guests a "Dave is such a Star Wars dork" chuckle.
By the way, Episode VII comes out tomorrow...not that I've been waiting 32 years or anything.

The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) (also known as The Compleat Wrks of Wllm Shkspr (Abridged)) is a play written by Adam Long, Daniel Singer, and Jess Winfield that parodies the plays of William Shakespeare with all of them being performed (in comically shortened or amalgamated form) by only three actors. Typically, the actors use their real names and play themselves rather than certain characters. The fourth wall is nonexistent in the performance with the actors speaking directly to the audience during much of the play, and some scenes involve audience participation. The director and stage crew may also be directly involved in the performance and become characters themselves.
The script contains many humorous footnotes on the text that are often not included in the performance. However, improvisation plays an important role and it is normal for the actors to deviate from the script and have spontaneous conversations about the material with each other or the audience. It is also common for them to make references to pop culture or to talk about local people and places in the area where performance is done. As a result, each performance can be vastly different from another, even with the same cast.


In Prometheus, an expedition sets out from earth to find humanity’s origins. On a moon of a distant planet, they find an ancient outpost, with dead aliens that turn out to be closely related to humans. A contingent of crew members led by Dr. Elizabeth Shaw set out to explore the ruins and find evidence that the aliens were in fact the creators of humanity. One crew member, an android named David, sneaks off, intending to revive one of the aliens. Back at the ship, several crew members begin behaving strangely, having been infected by alien parasites. The parasites grow rapidly, burst out, and attack the crew, who barely fight them off. In the ruins, David succeeds in waking the alien. The alien attacks David and takes off in a ship, intending to destroy humanity. The crew crash their own ship into the alien’s, sacrificing themselves to prevent the alien from escaping to Earth. Only David and Dr. Shaw survive. The alien climbs out of the wreck of his ship and attacks Dr. Shaw, but is killed by one of the parasites. David and Dr. Shaw leave the planet in an escape pod, heading to the alien’s home world to learn about the origins of humanity.

FIFTH REGIONAL YOUTH TOURISM FAIR
OPENS YOUTH FAIR, NOVI SAD, 5th and 6th July 2016
Fifth regional youth tourism fair OPENS Youth Fair 2016 will be held at Liberty Square and the Catholic Courtyard on 5th and 6th July, just before EXIT, when our city turns into a center for international youth gathering. Same as every year, visitors will have a chance to enjoy the fair’s colorful program for free, from 18:00h to 22:00h, during both days. Besides finding out the tourism offer for Balkan youth, all visitors of the fair can receive the info about where they can join interesting projects promoting the most attractive destinations. OPENS Youth Fair will gather in one place the most attractive places in the region, and most diverse festivals and events. During the fair, Liberty Square and the Catholic Courtyard become epicenters for fun and friendship, so visitors will be called upon to try out some of the sports, dances, or journalism on offer at the media corner.
Through common regional promotion, the goal of the fair is to position the Balkans as one of the most attractive destinations for youth across the world. Youth tourism represents great potential for countries of the Western Balkans region. Exactly before Exit, Novi Sad is visited each year by a large number of youth from over 60 countries across the world, making this the perfect opportunity for exhibitioners to promote their offers.
OPENS Youth Fair will this year gather a large number of participants who will contribute to the importance of this event, so visitors will be able to find the most attractive Balkan destinations, festivals, clubs, dance groups, sport organizations, hidden regional attractions, tourist organizations and tourist agencies who promote tourism as well as non-governmental organizations that connect the youth in the West Balkan region.
OPENS Youth Fair 2016 is packed with novelties. New destinations will be promoted, which have for a long time been hidden as the greatest treasure of tourism; adrenaline sports will be presented, as well as dance clubs, who will move visitors with their performances. Beside the choice for best stand, OPENS Youth Fair has organized a competition for visitors. Another novelty is the Media Corner, where visitors of the fair will have a chance to play a game with some of their favorite radio or television hosts, as well as to try out the profession themselves.
The regional youth fair will this year be marked by the candidacy of Novi Sad for European Youth Capital, so during the second day of the fair, “NOVI SAD OPENING DOORS” conference will be held, dedicated to Novi Sad’s initiative to win this prestigious title.
For the first time this year, the fair will welcome tourist organizations from Hungary, Romania, Slovenia and Croatia, who have recognized promotional importance at this fair, which has become one of the most prestigious events of this kind in the region.
Since travel is unimaginable without music, OPENS Youth Fair 2016 is preparing another spectacular edition of its musical program – GET EXITed. The audience on both days of the fair, during evening hours, at Liberty Square and the Catholic Courtyard can enjoy concerts by the most attractive regional performers.
At Liberty Square, on 5th July visitors will have an opportunity to enjoy the most beautiful aria and duet from the Magical Flute by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, performed by solo artists, choir and orchestra of the Serbian National Theatre, conducted by Mikica Jevtić. Afterwards, we can enjoy the melodies of the Benny Brickman Band made up of young musicians from Niš, who cover everything from jazz, blues to soul. Jambinai, one of the most innovative underground bands in South Korea, will wow the audience with their completely unique post-rock, post-avant-garde sound played on traditional Korean instruments, backed by electric guitars and electronics. As the grand finale of the evening on 5th July, the audience will be lifted by the energetic TBF, who have, during their career, become much more than a hip-hop band, moving borders with spectacular lyrics and musical compositions, growing into one of the best live performers in the region.
We can expect an interesting musical program on 6th July at Liberty Square as well, when Frame Orkestra will performed, gathered around Lazar Novkov, who will entertain the audience by combining the entire length and tradition of renowned classical music, clearly defined by folk heritage. For a hard night of partying, one of the most beloved underground bands, Artan Lilli, who will bring the audience into madness with their powerful riffs and vocals! And for a spectacular end, one of the greatest regional stars, singer, songwriter and guitar player Darko Rundek will perform together with violin player Isabel Katala, and the multi-instrumentalist who founded Rundek Cargo Trio, will surely conquer the audience with their sheer energy and emotion!
As previous years, the Catholic Courtyard will host the “Art Eco Market” event for young designers, who will present their handcrafts to all visitors with an eye for detail, as well as a rich array of gastronomical specialties.
Facing the upcoming Exit Festival, Novi Sad’s Liberty Square and Catholic Courtyard will breathe in positive energy, and our wish is to transfer those positive vibrations onto following events during the summer’s length.
Same as in previous year, the organizers of this event thank the City of Novi Sad, Tourist Organization of the City of Novi Sad, EXIT TIMa, Department of Geography, Tourism, and Hotel Management of the Faculty for Natural Sciences, Student’s Cultural Center Novi Sad, and supported by Art Eco Market and friends of the event Fortuns Novi Sad.
Detailed schedule of the conference, promotion during the fair, and the musical segment of the event are soon to be announced.

Remembering Kenny Rogers on his passing. Lawrence and I are grateful for his music and ever grateful for the opportunity to have commemorated his story with a 50th birthday collage. We spoke to 60 of Kenny’s family and friends to get photos and ideas for the art. And what an amazing journey. From on-site research at his farm in Athens, Georgia to Los Angeles for a spectacular birthday party—with Dolly Parton performing—and the surprise presentation.
Kenny Rogers was also One-Of-A-Kind. The songs live on. RIP.
Back in 2014, a visit to Nashville’s Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum proved a special treat, coinciding with their exhibit honoring the career of Kenny Rogers. It brought back great memories of our collaboration with his manager, Ken Kragen, 32 years ago to create 3-dimensional commemorative art for Kenny Rogers’ 50th birthday party.
The surprise, star-studded gala was held in Los Angeles at the Mountaingate Country Club. Among the 500 guests were Dolly Parton, Lee Greenwood, Henry Mancini, Cybill Shepherd, and Mayor Tom Bradley.

- The wiki is to keep track of things that are revealed during the game.
- The characters page is for summaries of the player characters and important non-player characters.
- The maps page is, unsurprisingly, for maps.

Released in 2009 by Riot Games, League of Legends is the world’s most popular multiplayer online game. As the global community of League of Legends players continues to grow, so too has the viewership of Riot Games’ live event coverage. In supporting its ongoing success and growth, Riot Games needed a way to streamline international productions while delivering an experience on par with major sporting events.
As they prepared for the 2018 Mid-Season Invitational (MSI) in Paris, Riot Games looked for ways to address the challenges of executing an international event while continuing to deliver high quality content to its rapidly growing viewership. The 2018 MSI involved multiple teams over three six-hour stretches of competition which needed to be broadcast to esports fans via Twitch, YouTube, and other video services. To centrally manage live production from Los Angeles, Riot Games implemented a REMI remote production model or at-home type workflows. This approach, used by leading sports broadcasters, aims to ensure high production quality by maintaining directors, broadcast engineers, motion graphic designers, and audio technicians at their main broadcast center rather than deploying production staff on the ground.
For the Paris tournament, Riot Games needed to aggregate live video feeds from up to 34 different simultaneous players with as little latency as possible. These feeds had to be streamed to their Los Angeles broadcast center – a distance of about 6,000 miles or 10,000 kilometers – in 1080p60 resolution. In supporting its REMI workflow, Riot Games wanted to leverage their global wide area network (WAN) and local point of presence (PoP) servers, originally designed to ensure speedy gameplay, for live broadcast contribution and backhaul. By utilizing their own IP network, Riot Games wanted to reduce total bandwidth usage for their video contribution streams from 10 to 1 Gbps.
As quality remained a top priority, the live production team also needed to ensure that audio and video streams were kept in sync within a single frame no matter which PoP servers were used. In order to meet this and all the other challenges, Riot Games needed a solution that could capture all the live gaming action, on and off screen, without compromising on video quality and latency.
More than just a solution, a partnership
As they looked to support the rapid growth of their international productions, Riot Games reached out to broadcast equipment vendors in search of a good solution. Most of the vendors offered video products based on traditional workflows and were not able to provide the flexibility that Riot Games needed to leverage their global IP network for live contribution. Fortunately, Haivision was able to demonstrate that their technology and expertise in streaming low latency video over all types of networks was able to deliver the level of reliability and flexibility that Riot Games was aiming for.
Haivision went beyond its role as a technology vendor and became a strategic partner of the Riot Games engineering team. Working closely together, Haivision delivered a solution that met all of Riot Games’ requirements including scalability for future growth and cost-efficient video streaming over IP. Technical challenges were immediately addressed through ongoing feedback and updates to ensure the success of Riot Games live broadcasts.
Multiple live sources all in sync over IP
Using Haivision’s Makito X encoders and decoders, Riot Games was able to build a REMI workflow supporting ingest of high-quality live streams from over their cost-efficient IP network. Both audio and video content, from 34 League of Legends players and cameras, were streamed from Paris to Riot Games’ Los Angeles broadcast center with under 500ms of latency.
Using Haivision’s Stream Sync technology, Riot Games was able to keep all the incoming video streams synchronized as they were decoded in Los Angeles for immediate ingest into live production workflows. Stream Sync, supported by Makito X encoders and decoders, embeds time codes from encoders and decoders in order to keep all streams, even when sent over different and unpredictable IP paths, in sync within 1 frame accuracy.
Leveraging IP networks for live contribution and remote production workflows
Riot Games experienced many benefits as a result of the new workflow, including increased flexibility from not needing to deploy OB vans and satellite uplinks. From the live production team’s standpoint in Los Angeles, the quality and latency of the IP streams met all the criteria of the original workflow.
Additionally, streaming video from 24 cameras in Paris at under 1 Gbps in total over their own PoP servers and WAN proved to be much more efficient than their previous 10 Gbps dedicated connection. The low-latency achieved over this setup is allowing Riot Games to focus on enhancing the end-viewer experience to all their video streaming and broadcast outlets.
Viewed by over 60 million fans worldwide, the 2018 MSI Finals proved the reliability and efficiency of the Haivision solution for the Riot Games REMI over IP workflow. Achieving this successful broadcast while significantly reducing operational costs is allowing Riot Games to continually innovate and deliver great experiences to their rapidly growing fan base.


Pioneer High School’s varsity vocal ensemble, the Titan Tones, recently received its highest honors yet for the group’s vocal performances at the recent WorldStrides Heritage Performance Program’s regional choral festival held in San Francisco.
The Titan Tones took the First Place Gold Award, the Outstanding Choral Group Award Trophy, for achieving the highest score in the choral category for the entire festival; and the Adjudicator's Award Trophy, for receiving a score of 95 percent and above from each of the festival’s judges. In addition, Pioneer students Dalia Cruces and Emilio Valdez each received Solo Maestro Awards for their solo performances.
The ensemble’s award-winning performance earned the group a second invitation to perform in the WorldStrides’ Heritage Performance Program’s Festival of Gold at Carnegie Hall in New York City in April 2013. Last year, the group traveled to New York and received the highest scores at the National Heritage Festival of Gold.
“These are the highest honors we have yet to receive at one event,” said Evan Mooney, director of the Titan Tones and chair of Pioneer High School’s visual and performing arts department. “We are on cloud nine.”
Mooney said that Deke Sharon, a well-known singer, arranger, composer, as well as a vocal producer for the television vocal competition show, “The Voice,” was one of the judges at the event and has offered to arrange a song for the ensemble next year.
“I am more than proud of our Titan Tones,” Mooney said. “I am humbled and honored by our fantastic students.”
“I owe everything to Mr. Mooney; I really want to thank him for everything he’s done for us,” said Emilio Valdez, a senior, who was also one of four Pioneer High School students to be chosen by audition to perform this year in the Southern California Vocal Association Honor Choir and the All-State Honor Choirs.
"We are all so very proud of our Titan Tones and the level of excellence they have achieved," said Whittier Union High School District Superintendent Sandra Thorstenson. "We are also deeply grateful to Evan Mooney for his time, energy and commitment to his students. He is a masterful teacher and choral director who infuses his deep love, knowledge, and appreciation of music and the arts in all that he teaches. He is a true inspiration to his students."
Founded in 1980, WorldStrides Heritage Performance Programs for choir are held throughout the United States and bring together high school musical ensembles to perform and compete for adjudicated rankings based on an international standard.


En quelques mots...
About Jazmin Grace Grimaldi
Granddaughter of Academy Award winner Grace Kelly, who became Princess Grace of Monaco, and daughter of Prince Albert of Monaco, Jazmin is following in her grandmother's footsteps and pursuing a career in acting and singing. A graduate of Fordham University in New York City, she majored in International Business with an emphasis on Humanitarian Affairs and minored in Theater. Her hope is to marry humanitarianism with the arts, a passion from when at the ripe age of 14, she founded, The Jazmin Fund, to help Fijians, particularly children, achieve a healthier quality of life.
The fund is managed by the Naqaqa Giving Foundation, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit foundation whose mission is to fulfill educational, health, and emergency needs. In 2006, Jazmin focused on bringing basic classroom and medical supplies to Fijian villages during an eight-island mission. Presently, she has launched her new philanthropic project; building a community hall in Nadi village, which like most of Fiji, was heavily impacted by cyclone Winston in 2016. The hall will focus on art and music. She is currently fundraising through The Jazmin Fund website (https://www.thejazminfund.com/) to build the hall the summer of 2018.
Following graduation from Fordham University, she became a consultant at the United Nations World Food Programme, while continuing her acting studies at The Stella Adler Conservatory in New York City. In 2015, the ever-privacy conscious Jazmin Grace granted her first and only interview from the Palace in Monaco, with a pictorial by Michael Avedon, grandson of renowned photographer, Richard Avedon. Trained as a classical singer, her musical abilities were showcased in a cabaret-style concert, Fall in Love With Jaz, at Manhattan's Duplex Theatre, while backed by her twangy four-piece band, she performed soulful takes on musical standards inspired by Sia to Freddie Mercury. Moving on from her one woman show, she began writing and collaborating on new music and plans to release her debut EP later this year.
Currently, she is pursuing a career in film and theater, with roles in a few short films. Recently, she completed the lead role in a short film, The Scarlet M, at the prestigious USC School of Cinema in Los Angeles (https://www.instagram.com/jazmingrimaldi/).

Looking for a fun way to improve your Russian or understanding capabilities? Stream Russian movies and TV shows and take your Russian to a new level. It beats pouring over a conjugation chart any day!
Don’t think you’re ready for that? Of course you are! You can at least watch cartoons and kid’s movies in Russian! These are made with simple language and corresponding images that help viewers learn new vocabulary and not only! They are also laced with cultural themes of values and morals. Learning will be fun, educational, filled with new vocabulary and Russian cultural norms. Can’t beat that!
Too adult for kid’s movies and cartoons? That’s ok, you should start with action movies. Action movies are movies with few words which makes watching them easy and headache free.
- Watch without subtitles from the very beginning. You don’t need to read what they are saying to understand what’s happening – just watch, listen and try to understand.
- Don’t try to understand everything word for word. Relax and let your brain lead you.
- If you’re at home, write down some of the words you don’t know and look them up.
- Watching in segments allows you to focus on vocabulary and gives your brain time to relax.
- Find ways to use those new words and phrases in daily conversation.
After my first time of going to the movie theater in Russia, I went home defeated and with a massive headache. I understood maybe 30% of what happened, but that was a drama filled with complex language and situations not to mention the culture specific language such as puns, idioms and slang that I’d never encountered. If you aren’t already fluent in Russian, try an action movie or kid’s movie first and work in some Russian TV series. My breakthrough came when watching Интерны. Gradually work your way up to more difficult movies where talking and language are the main focus.
Don’t be afraid to go to the theater or pick up a movie. Stream and learn.
