TV2 Free for Existing Boxer Subscribers

Boxer and TV2 have signed a distribution agreement for the DDT-net. This means that subscribers to Boxer will continue to receive TV2 when the channel goes premium in January 2012.

2011-11-23

COPENHAGEN, DENMARK, November 23, 2011 (Press-News.org) Boxer will include TV2 paid channel (in Danish the term is Tv2 betalingskanal) in all of the Boxer TV-packages to ensure subscribers continued access to the channel.

"It's great that we have signed the first distribution agreement and that TV2 will remain available to Boxer's customers with aerial reception whether they're watching from their living room or in their summer home and whether the channel is part of a TV-package or purchased separately," says administrative director at TV2, Merete Eldrup.

TV2 will be included in the TV packages Boxer MINI, Boxer MIX, and Boxer MAX.

Subscribers to Boxer FLEX8 can combine TV2 with seven other channels selected from the 22 best and most popular channels available on TV. For the first time ever in Danish TV-history, subscribers will also have the option of purchasing TV2 separately.

"With the agreement we have secured the aerial transmission of TV2 in the new year. Other distributors still can't guarantee TV2 as part of their TV packages, but with Boxer, viewers can be certain that they will continue to receive the channel," explains administrative director at Boxer TV A/S, Steen Ulf Jensen.

TV viewers with aerial reception who wish to receive TV2 from January 2012 should subscribe to Boxer. Viewers can choose between Boxer's four TV packages or select a program card to receive TV2 separately.

Make sure your reception equipment is Boxer-approved. This is your guarantee that everything is in order so you can continue to view TV2 starting January 2012. It is a technical requirement that your TV or transmission box is up to the MPEG4-standard. If you are watching TV with a transmission box, your box already has a built-in card reader. To bring your TV up to standard, acquire a card reader compatible with your TV.

Turkey talk: 2 American Chemical Society videos digest Thanksgiving myth and fact

2011-11-23

WASHINGTON -- Does tryptophan in turkey really cause the bleary-eyed daze after a Thanksgiving meal? What's inside those pop-up timers that announce the turkey is ready for the table? How can those timers pop up when the turkey reaches exactly the right internal temperature? For answers to those and other questions that could spark lively dinnertime conversation Thursday, check out two high-definition Bytesize Science videos that the American Chemical Society (ACS), the world's largest scientific society, is offering as an addition to the holiday menu.

Agencies Pursuing Employers who Misclassify Non-Employees in New York

2011-11-23

The Labor Department will be sharing information with nearly a dozen states, including New York's Attorney General, and the Internal Revenue Service in a push to crack down on businesses that cheat workers out of wages by misclassifying them as independent contractors. Wage and hour determinations vary greatly based on how a worker is characterized. By sharing information Labor officials will be able to target businesses that misclassify workers as independent contractors or non-employees to avoid paying the minimum wage and overtime pay. An employer can also avoid paying ...

Robojelly gets an upgrade

2011-11-23

Engineers at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (VirginiaTech) have developed a robot that mimics the graceful motions of jellyfish so precisely that it has been named Robojelly. Developed for the Office of Naval Research in 2009, this vehicle was designed to conduct ocean underwater surveillance, enabling it potentially to detect chemical spills, monitor the presence of ships and submarines, and observe the migration of schools of fish. Recently, a team at VirginiaTech has improved the performance of this silicone swimmer, enabling it to better overcome ...

New design for mechanical heart valves

2011-11-23

The heart's valves, which guarantee the unidirectional flow of blood from one chamber to another, are asymmetrical. For example, the two flaps of the heart's mitral valve – which regulates blood flow between the left atrium and the left ventricle – vary in size by up to 70 percent. This arrangement, says fluid mechanicist Marija Vukicevic from the University of Trieste (now a researcher at Clemson University), naturally drives blood flow along the lateral wall of the ventricle; from there, blood takes a smooth turn creating a large vortex that redirects the blood toward ...

Juvenile Incarceration Costly and Ineffective, Study Says

2011-11-23

Fervent debates continue over how states should rehabilitate juveniles convicted of crimes. Some believe that exposing kids to the rigors of prison life will help them understand the gravity of their actions and prevent future juvenile crime. Others maintain that jailing kids does nothing to deter crime and only advances the likelihood that they will be criminals as adults. Further, they believe that children are more likely to be abused while in confinement. A new report by the Annie E. Casey Foundation exemplifies these concerns. Entitled, "No Place for Kids: ...

A tiny flame shines light on supernovae explosions

2011-11-23

Starting from the behavior of small flames in the laboratory, a team of researchers has gained new insights into the titanic forces that drive Type Ia supernova explosions. These stellar explosions are important tools for studying the evolution of the universe, so a better understanding of how they behave would help answer some of the fundamental questions in astronomy. Type Ia supernovae form when a white dwarf star – the left-over cinder of a star like our Sun – accumulates so much mass from a companion star that it reignites its collapsed stellar furnace and detonates, ...

Peering inside the 'deflagration-to-detonation transition' of explosions

2011-11-23

Explosions of reactive gases and the associated rapid, uncontrolled release of large amounts of energy pose threats of immense destructive power to mining operations, fuel storage facilities, chemical processing plants, and many other industrial applications. To gain a better understanding of what's going on during these explosions, US Naval Research Laboratory research physicist Alexei Poludnenko, and Elaine Oran, senior scientist for reactive flow physics, teamed up with Sandia National Laboratories' Thomas Gardiner, principal member of technical staff, to study the ...

Similar effects of beer and wine on the risk of cardiovascular disease

2011-11-23

Research published in the European Journal of Epidemiology by Costanzo S, Di Castelnuovo de Gaetano G et al has sought to separate the effects of wine, beer or spirit drinking in relation to fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular events. The Italian authors carried out an updated meta-analysis on the relationship between wine, beer or spirit consumption and cardiovascular outcomes, using state-of-the-art statistical techniques. From 16 studies, results confirmed a J-shaped relationship between wine intake and reduced vascular risk, with maximal protection — an average 31% ...

Dividing Small Businesses in Divorce

2011-11-23

Dividing small businesses in divorce can be difficult, complex, and of course...contentious. This is usually because the business is the family's largest asset, and the parties may have very different views about what it is worth, as well as their respective shares. One party may believe that the business is failing, and is only a fraction of its perceived value, while the other party may insist that it is a budding enterprise that is worth much more than is being explained. These views can be especially difficult if only one party primarily owns or operates the business, ...

A first -- lab creates cells used by brain to control muscle cells

2011-11-23

University of Central Florida researchers, for the first time, have used stem cells to grow neuromuscular junctions between human muscle cells and human spinal cord cells, the key connectors used by the brain to communicate and control muscles in the body. The success at UCF is a critical step in developing "human-on-a-chip" systems. The systems are models that recreate how organs or a series of organs function in the body. Their use could accelerate medical research and drug testing, potentially delivering life-saving breakthroughs much more quickly than the typical ...
