# United Association for Studies and Research

The **United Association for Studies and Research** (UASR) was founded in 1989 in Chicago. The group states that it has a commitment to “the study of ongoing issues in the Middle East, such as the Arab–Israeli conflict”. The group has been described as a front operation for Hamas. UASR was founded by Mousa Abu Marzook who was a known Hamas operative.

## Leadership

Marzook was the head of the Hamas political bureau beginning in 1988. Marzook was listed as a Specially Designated Terrorist by the U.S. Treasury in 1995. He was later arrested in New York in 1995 for his role in supporting the Hamas network in the United States. Marzook also founded the Holy Land Foundation, which was the subject of one of the country's largest and most successful terrorist financing trials. In 1997, he was extradited by the United States to Jordan. He later went from Jordan to Syria to serve as the deputy chief of Hamas's political bureau. He is currently listed under Treasury's Specially Designated National list.

In 1998, Dr. Laura Drake served as the director of UASR. Previously she served as the director of research at the Council for the National Interest (CNI), an organization that has multiple ties to individuals involved in Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood.

Ahmad Yousef served as the executive director of UASR and also as the editor of its quarterly journal, *The Middle East Affairs Journal*. Through UASR, Yousef published a tribute to Hamas founder and leader Ahmed Yassin called *Ahmed Yassin: The Phenomenon, the Miracle, and the Legend of the Challenge*. He later became a personal advisor to Ismail Haniyeh, a Hamas leader in Gaza. Shortly after, he published a book in English called *The End of the Jewish State: Just a Matter of Time*.

## Controversy

In 1991 UASR was listed in a Muslim Brotherhood document as one of the Brotherhood's “organizations of our friends” that were among groups that could help teach Muslims that “their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and ‘sabotaging’ its miserable house by their hands...so that...God's religion \[Islam\] is made victorious over all other religions”.

In a 1993 *New York Times* article, Muhammad Salah, a Hamas terrorist convicted in Israel, stated that the political command of Hamas in the U.S. was the UASR. He also named Ahmad Yousef as the director of UASR and Mousa Abu Marzook as the political chief. Muhammad Salah's arrest was a turning point in the investigation into Hamas as his interrogations, along with others, provided valuable information about Marzook and the U.S. Hamas network, including the role of UASR in this network.

In early 2000, the think tank was based in Springfield, Virginia. In 2003 they began operating out of a basement apartment. At this time, government investigators began to point to shady actions that added to their suspicions that the group was involved in terrorist activities. The windows of the apartment were covered with fake brick contact paper to prevent people from seeing in, and employees were rarely seen. It was also suspected that they were using prepaid disposable cell phones for phone calls, making wire taps impossible.

Also in 2003, the Senate Finance Committee asked the Internal Revenue Service to provide its records on UASR and other Muslim groups as part of their investigation into non-governmental organizations and terrorist networks in the United States.

## Council on American-Islamic Relations

There are several former Council on American–Islamic Relations (CAIR) leaders with links to UASR. Nabil Sadoun was CAIR's former vice chairman who was deported in February 2010 after not disclosing his ties to UASR in his 1993 visa application.

Mohamed Nimer, was CAIR's director of research from 1995 until 2007. He worked for UASR in the early 1990s, and around the same time in 1993 spent a month in Lebanon at a camp of Hamas activists that had been deported by Israel.

Caroline F. Keeble (aka Anisa Abd el Fattah) served in several different roles at UASR during the 1990s until March 2004. Her positions included president and director of public relations and media affairs. In February 2000, UASR published a report called "Islam and America: A New Reading". Keeble praised Hamas as a resistance movement. This report listed Keeble as a member of the board of directors of both UASR and CAIR.

The municipality was established on 18 May 2014 by merging the preexisting Devchuli, Dibyapuri, Pragatinagar VDCs and later Rajahar VDC. The Narayani River flows in the vicinity. Northern side of the municipality is covered by hills with major population of ethnic Magar people and their culture. Northern areas are also least developed, rural and lack basic infrastructures, such as roads, hospitals and clean drinking water supply. Southern plain areas are developing and has major concentration of population. Municipality has great ethnic and cultural diversity, made of indigenous Tharu, Magar and all other major ethnic groups and culture residing harmoniously.

## Major tourist attractions

Major tourist attraction are as following:

**CG** **Saswat Dham** \- A modern pilgrimage hub visited by hundreds of thousands pilgrims and tourists every year.

**Narayani River banks and Chitwan National Park** \- popular among tourists who want to experience unique biodiversity and wildlife, such as one horned Rhinos, Royal Bangal tigers and all others. Naryani River is regarded as sacred among Hindu pilgrims and many religious celebrations takes place in its bank throughout the year. Ekadashi mela and maghe sakranti mela are some of the major events visited by thousands.

**Community tharu homestays, resorts and restaurants of piprahar area** \- These homestays and restaurants provide visitors with tharu traditional cuisine and hospitality. Authentic and organic foods and hospitality provided by these facilities attracts thousands of visitors every year. Proximity of National Park and Naryani River provides clam and peaceful escape form hustle bustle of the cities.

**Devchuli and Barchuli hills** \- these are the tallest hills of Nawalpur district. Considered as sacred place of worship by both Magar people of hills and tharu people of plains, these hills has their own cultural and historic importance.

title: Taliban conscription

text:
# Taliban conscription

Conscription was employed in Afghanistan during Taliban administration between 1996 and 2001.

## Ante September 11, 2001 Taliban conscription

### Kidnapping foreigners

Prior to the collapse of their regime the Taliban made widespread use of conscription, and according to some of the Guantanamo captives, kidnapping and virtual slavery.

### Conscription of children

According to a report from Oxford University the Taliban made widespread use of the conscription of children in 1997, 1998 and 1999.

## Post September 11, Pre-collapse Taliban conscription

The *Australian Broadcasting Corporation* quoted a young Afghan, who reported: "They're rounding men up for a fight to the last man."

According to the ABC report Ahmed Zia said there had been a large-scale exodus from Kabul. He claimed the Taliban were rounding up young boys for battle. He also claimed the Taliban were forcing people to give blood.

The British paper *The Daily Telegraph* reported, on September 29, 2001, that the Taliban's supreme leader, Mullah Omar, had closed all Afghanistan's religious schools, so the students could fight beside the Taliban.

The *Los Angeles Times*, reported, on October 13, 2001, an account of a young man who had an encounter with Taliban members pressing men into service for them:

> Samim, the young man who fled with his family, is an ethnic Tajik. He said he had a lucky escape Thursday night, walking home from the bazaar with his friend, Farid Alsoo. They stumbled across a Taliban patrol roughly shoving young men into a minivan. About five or 10 young men were already captive. The Taliban men seized Alsoo and pushed him into the van. They tried to get me, but I ran,' Samim said. 'They chased me for a few meters, but I got away,' he said, speaking in English. As the family breadwinner, he couldn't afford to be arrested or pressed to fight.

## Post-collapse Taliban conscription

### Accounts of the Taliban's conscription policies from Guantanamo detainees

On March 3, 2006, after exhausting all it legal appeals, the US Department of Defense was forced to comply with a court order and release information about the identity of the captives held in extrajudicial detention in the Guantanamo Bay detainment camps, in Cuba. The DoD released thousands of pages of documents prepared for, or arising from, the captives' Combatant Status Review Tribunals and Administrative Review Board hearings.

Those thousands of pages of documents revealed that many of the detainees described themselves as conscripts, sometimes enlisted at gunpoint, and imprisoned in their barracks under armed guards, kept on hand for the Taliban to use as "cannon fodder".

### "Enemy combatant" status

Some skeptical commentators have discounted the accounts of Guantanamo detainees whose stories suggested they weren't hardened terrorists. However, there are captives who even the American intelligence analysts acknowledged were reluctant conscripts.

Under questioning by US District Court Judge Joyce Hens Green, US Government lawyer Brian Boyle confirmed that the definition of "enemy combatant" status was so broad that even a little old lady from Switzerland, who sent money to what she thought was a legitimate charity, could be classified as an "enemy combatant" if workers for that charity clandestinely diverted some of its resources to back projects with ties to terrorism.

Some of the Guantanamo detainees had their classification as "enemy combatants" confirmed because they had a business arrangement to supply al Qaeda, or the Taliban, with mundane items, like firewood; some claimed they were enlisted at gunpoint, and housed in their barracks under armed guard; some claimed they were kidnapped, and employed as kitchen helpers, or servants, as virtual slaves; and some said that they were conscripted, not for military duties, but simply to perform civilian duties the Taliban couldn't fill through normal hiring practices.

# CUBIC

**CUBIC** (abbreviation for “clear, unobstructed brain/body imaging cocktails and computational analysis) is a histology method that allows tissues to be transparent (process called “tissue clearing”). As a result, it makes investigation of large biological samples with microscopy easier and faster.

The method was published in 2014 by Etsuo A. Susaki and Hiroki R. Ueda, primarily for use in neurobiology research of brains from model organisms like rodents or small primates. But in upcoming years there were other works published, using CUBIC method on other tissues like lymph nodes or mammary glands. CUBIC can be also combined with CLARITY-based tissue clearing methods.

## Used chemicals and performing of method

The opacity of brain tissue is given mainly by light scattering on interfaces between environments with various refractive indexes, mainly between lipids and other tissue compounds. Therefore, partial delipidating and refractive index matching of tissue and surrounding medium is straightforward way to make tissue less opaque and therefore transparent – cleared.

Development of CUBIC pipeline was inspired by previously published clearing protocol named Scale (mixture of glycerol, urea and detergent), because of its simplicity and optimal compatibility with fluorescent proteins. Authors of CUBIC screened 40 chemicals corresponding to those used in Scale with aim to conserve compatibility with fluorescent reporters but achieve better and faster clearing of the tissue. They found that basic amino alcohols are ideally suited for this purpose, probably because amino groups effectively solvate phospholipids and basicity helps to preserve fluorescence signal. Amino alcohols have also beneficial effect when used for clearing of other tissues, which are mostly highly vascularized, and their opacity is given by absorption of light by hemoglobin on top of light scattering. Amino alcohols reduce pigmentation of those tissues very effectively by eluting the hem from hemoglobin.

The original protocol is two-step incubation of fixed tissue in two different aqueous based clearing solutions, altogether taking one to two weeks. First solution, referred as ScaleCUBIC-1, CUBIC-1 or just reagent-1, is composed of N,N,N’,N’-tetrakis(2-hydroxypropyl)ethylenediamine (commercially under name Quadrol), urea and Triton X-100 in water. Second solution, referred as ScaleCUBIC-2, CUBIC-2 or just reagent-2, is composed of urea and sucrose in water. This original protocol is slightly modified in different applications, namely in concentrations, incubation times or some components of solutions. The CUBIC protocol can be also combined with perfusion and provide whole organ and whole body clearing of rodents. Besides its use as standalone protocol for clearing, CUBIC-based composition of reagents can be used as refractive index matching solution for CLARITY. This than improve clearing abilities of CLARITY on tissues which stay opaque because of their pigmentation by hemoglobin.

The improvement of CUBIC reagents has progressed and been reported.

## Applications of method

The CUBIC method is very powerful, due to amino alcohols and consequent ability to clear almost any organ or even whole body of mice. One disadvantage is incompatibility with lipid dyes, due to high concretion of detergent used during clearing. Despite organic solvents, reagents used in CUBIC are not toxic or aggressive to optics of microscopes, on the other hand the handling with them can be also tricky due to their high viscosity. Also, in comparison with solvent based methods like 3DISCO the CUBIC as method based on simple diffusion is still take slightly longer times for clearing same tissue.  Because of high concentration of detergent, the CUBIC ca also partially diminishes the fluorescence or disturb ultrastructure of the tissue.

CUBIC was optimized and used for wide spread of applications and tissues. In the mouse the method was used for mapping the brain activity, analysis of interactions between immune cells in lymph node, description of mammary stem cells behaving or for capturing 3D anatomy of liver, kidneys, lungs and heart. CUBIC was also modified and used for clearing of chicken embryos or marmoset brains. The method was also optimized for clearing and examination of tumors and development of metastases from whole body perspective to single-cell resolution in mouse model. In recent study was also shown few variants of basic CUBIC pipeline, in this case used for diagnostic of human pathologies both on native and formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissues.

# Serial Copy Management System

The **Serial Copy Management System** (**SCMS**) is a copy protection scheme that was created in response to the digital audio tape (DAT) invention, in order to prevent DAT recorders from making second-generation or serial copies. SCMS sets a "copy" bit in all copies, which prevents anyone from making further copies of those first copies. It does not, however, limit the number of first-generation copies made from a master.

SCMS was also included in consumer CD-R, MiniDisc and Digital Compact Cassette (DCC) players and recorders. With the demise of these formats, SCMS is not in widespread use. However, the concept of SCMS was resurrected in the broadcast flag, a measure formerly mandated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to limit the copying of digital TV signals. SCMS flags are also included in the MP3 specifications, though no known decoder or player honors them. Personal Computers were not required to include SCMS in the US.

## History

SCMS was created as a compromise between electronics manufacturers, mainly Sony and Philips, who wanted to make DAT machines available in the United States, and the RIAA, which had previously hampered the availability of DAT machines in the US with the threat of lawsuits. The RIAA did not want low-cost digital recorders readily available, since it felt that such technology would result in widespread piracy. These lawsuit threats resulted in a chilling effect, which prevented DAT decks from becoming readily affordable.

In 1987, a member of the RIAA proposed a system where DAT recorders would have copy protection in them. The copy protection would look for the presence of frequencies in a particular high-frequency band; if there was no audio present in this band, the recorder would assume that the music in question was copy protected, and would not allow recording of the music. The record companies would then release all music with this particular frequency band filtered out. It would be illegal to manufacture a DAT machine with the presence of audio in this frequency band; the RIAA was lobbying Congress to make this the law of the land.

The reaction to this proposed scheme was very negative. The Home Recording Rights Coalition orchestrated a letter writing campaign opposing this scheme. Editorials in musician's and home stereo magazines attacked this scheme. The proposed law never made it out of committee.

Even after this law was shot down, the RIAA still threatened to sue anyone who released an affordable consumer DAT recorder in the US. No one made such a recorder available.

In 1992, Congress passed the Audio Home Recording Act. In this law, blank digital media (including DAT tapes and music CD-Rs) would be taxed, with the money going to the RIAA, and a new copy protection scheme, SCMS, would be enforced. Blank analog media, such as cassette tapes, were not subject to the tax. SCMS was compulsory in digital media because there is zero deterioration of quality from copy to copy. SCMS was universally disliked by home musicians who used DAT decks to record their own music; the acronym was pronounced as a derogatory term, "scums".

## Technical details

SCMS copy protection looks for bits written in the subcode data in a digital link. There are two bits which are relevant:

* Bit 2 in the Channel Status subchannel is the "Cp" bit indicating whether the source signal is copyrighted or not: 0 means copyrighted, 1 means not copyrighted
* Bit 15 in the Channel Status subchannel is the "L" bit indicating whether the source signal is an original medium (such as an audio CD or a prerecorded DCC tape) or "not determined". For audio CDs and laser optical media, 0 means original and 1 means "not determined"; for other digital sources the values of this bit are reversed.

Copying is only allowed if the source signal for the recording is not copyrighted, or is copyrighted and is an original. If the source signal is a copyrighted recording, the recorder must set the "L" bit to "not determined" when it plays the copy, so that the copy cannot be copied digitally again.

| Source Cp | Source L | Copying allowed | Copy L | Copyable Copy |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| "Copyrighted" | "Original" | Yes | "Not Determined" | No |
| "Copyrighted" | "Undetermined" | No | N/A | N/A |
| "Not Copyrighted" | (any) | Yes | (same as source) | Yes |

## Circumvention

Software and design defects in certain models of consumer Minidisc player allow SCMS to be defeated. Professional-grade Minidisc systems costing several thousand US dollars may have SCMS disabled as standard. Professional CD recorders, including all computer drives, have SCMS disabled and can also record audio onto data CD-R discs.

European electronic hobby magazine *Elektor* published a construction project in the 1990s. The device, once completed, was designed to be inserted in the digital link between SCMS enabled devices (the article was designed around the optical TOSLINK interface, but it would have been easy to adapt it to the S/PDIF coaxial link). The circuit intercepted the SCMS control bits, and changed the "Cp" bit to the "not copyrighted" state.

Similar functionality is often also included in commercially available bitrate-converters, like the Behringer Ultramatch.

There is another way that SCMS can be defeated, but it requires copying the Table of Contents from a blank disc that already allows copying, to a recorded 'copy disallowed' disc. The method is laborious, and suffers the disadvantage that the track marks and titles are lost in the process.

The **United Association of Journeymen and Apprentices of the Plumbing and Pipe Fitting Industry of the United States and Canada**, commonly known as the **United Association** (**UA**), is a labor union which represents workers in the plumbing and pipefitting industries in the United States and Canada.

## History

Journeymen in the pipe trades in the 1880s worked in three basic crafts: plumbers, steamfitters and gasfitters.

The first truly successful national body, the **United Association of Journeymen Plumbers, Gas Fitters, Steam Fitters, and Steam Fitters' Helpers of the United States and Canada**, was officially founded on October 11, 1889.

Gradually, former members of rival unions joined the United Association. The depression of 1893–1897 slowed the development of a stronger organization. Membership in the United Association grew to 6,700 in 1893, but fell to 4,400 by 1897. Yet, by that year 151 local unions were listed on its rolls.

Starting in 1898, the construction industry entered a period of expansion and prosperity that lasted until 1914. From 1898 to 1906 the United Association quadrupled its membership.

During its first years, the United Association was essentially a federation of local unions, rather than a truly national union of the pipe trades. The major breakthrough toward a unified national organization came at the 1902 national convention in Omaha, when delegates approved a Nationalization Committee proposal establishing a comprehensive system of sick, death and strike benefits.

As such reforms to strengthen the national organization were being made in the early part of the century, however, some locals broke ranks to form a rival union. In August 1906, members of the secessionist union realized the futility of further rivalry and agreed to affiliate with the United Association.

From 1898 to 1914, the United Association went through several phases of a struggle with the International Association of Steam and Hot Water Fitters and Helpers, a prolonged and sometimes bitter dispute both over jurisdiction over a craft (steamfitting) and work assignments (plumbers vs. steamfitters). The conflict affected other building trades when walkouts by the rival steamfitting organizations, as a result of their jurisdictional dispute, led to work stoppages by other crafts.

The strength of the United Association, and favorable rulings by the American Federation of Labor, including the revocation of the International Association's charter in 1912, ended this jurisdictional battle, but other jurisdictional issues would continue to challenge the union.

New disputes arose over the construction of chemical plants and other manufacturing and service establishments that required extensive piping systems. Large volumes of newer types of pipefitting installation in the shift from World War I wartime industries to peacetime construction caused considerable difficulties. Jurisdictional problems also developed with other national unions, but the United Association retained jurisdiction over important, growing areas of work like construction of industrial plants, public utilities, petroleum facilities and residential buildings.

In the first half of the century, the United Association moved to formalize apprenticeship training programs, including making a five-year apprenticeship mandatory in 1921, and in 1938 holding that all apprentices be members of the United Association and attend related training classes. Its National Plumbing Apprenticeship Plan of 1936 was the first set of standards governing apprenticeship to win approval of the federal government.

In the Depression, United Association membership fell from its 1929 peak of 60,000 to 26,000 by 1933.

After several constitutional changes through the years, the 1946 convention changed the name of the organization to its present name: The United Association of Journeymen and Apprentices of the Plumbing and Pipe Fitting Industry of the United States and Canada.

Throughout World War II and after, the United Association made considerable gains in membership and prestige. Between 1940 and 1954 membership surged from 60,000 to 240,000 with veterans entering the skilled craftsmen field.

United Association member George Meany was elected in 1952 to be president of the newly formed AFL-CIO and was to provide a shaping force in the American labor movement until his death in 1980.

The New Frontier of President John F. Kennedy and Great Society of President Lyndon Johnson were movements supported by the United Association. With expanded training programs beginning in 1956, the UA was able to meet the demands of accelerated construction activity in the 1960s. With the increased work the slogan, "There is no substitute for UA skilled craftsmen" became widespread throughout the industry. By 1971 the UA was 320,000 strong.

## Composition

According to UA's reports to the Department of Labor since 2000, the union has consistently had about 93 percent members in "building trades", the remaining 7 percent in "metal trades". Out of the total membership, most are considered "journeymen", with about 12 percent considered "apprentices". As of January 1, 2017, fourth- and fifth-year apprentices are eligible to vote in the union.

From humble beginnings of 40 delegates representing 23 independent unions in 10 states and the District of Columbia, the United Association has grown to a powerful, international union representing over 300,000 members in more than 300 local unions (LU) throughout the United States and Canada.

# Cadbury World

**Cadbury World** is a visitor attraction in Bournville, Birmingham, England, featuring a self-guided exhibition tour, created and run by the Cadbury Company. The tour tells the history of chocolate, and of the Cadbury business.

A second location in Dunedin, New Zealand, closed in May 2018.

## Birmingham

### Overview

Cadbury's planning for a new chocolate-based attraction commenced in 1988, with the Bournville site decided upon. Cadbury World was opened on 14 August 1990 by Morgan Anderson on Cadbury's Bournville manufacturing site at a cost of £6 million. The attraction has expanded and developed its content through 'continuous improvement'. It was formally opened by then Prime Minister John Major on 12 April 1991.

Cadbury World has gone on to become one of Birmingham's largest leisure attractions. Over 500,000 people visit there each year especially children and students. The estate features a respected education programme (linking back directly to the educational advancements and interests of the company's original founders). Cadbury World provides a Chocolate afternoon tea.

Whilst not a factory tour, Cadbury World offers its visitors the opportunity to explore and discover chocolate's history, and to learn about the origins and story of the Cadbury business, which is now part of Mondelez, the world's second largest confectionery manufacturer.

In 2022, it was announced that Merlin Entertainments were to take over the running of the attraction, subject to the approval of the Competition and Markets Authority.

### Fourteen Zones

Cadbury World currently features 14 zones which tell the story of chocolate and the Cadbury business through various static sets, animatronics, video presentations, multi-sensory cinema, interactive displays and activities, and staff demonstrations.

In August 2019, Heritage Interactive installed seven interactive panels in the Aztec Jungle.

These zones also include "The Bournville Experience" (Opened in 2007 replacing the Cadbury Collection Museum), which explains the background to the development of the site on which it is located and "4D Chocolate Adventure", constructed in 2014 and replacing "Essence" which in turn replaced "Cadburyland" before it, and which incorporates a 3D cinema.

## Dunedin

In July 2003 another Cadbury World was opened in Dunedin, New Zealand, located in the Cadbury Factory site at 280 Cumberland St, close to the city centre near the Octagon. Unlike the Cadbury World in Birmingham, it offered guided tours around the manufacturing area of the factory.

In 2018, the factory closed. Despite plans to keep it open, Cadbury World was also closed that year, to make way for a new NZ$1.4 billion hospital to replace the existing Dunedin Hospital. Mondelez vice-president Banfield confirmed that the former Cadbury site had been sold to the Ministry of Health for an undisclosed amount. It was reported that the closure of Cadbury World would lead to the loss of 39 jobs. During the demolition, business records from Hudson & Co from 1899 to 1988 were discovered in a cupboard. Hudson & Co amalgamated with Cadbury Fry in 1929.

# Channel Master

**Channel Master** is a manufacturer of TV Antennas and Accessories which formerly employed 1,600 people.

## History

The original company, now defunct, was founded in Ellenville, New York, in 1949 by 23 year-old former Merchant Marine radio operator and DuMont TV antenna installer Joe Resnick with the backing of his brothers Harry and Louis Resnick. Its principal innovation was a prefabricated antenna which arrived with elements folded, not disassembled, so that the antenna may be quickly unfolded during installation with the elements automatically locking into place. This saved time and effort for rooftop antenna installers, who were often working at awkward heights and in difficult weather.

Established with 7,000 in capital from cabbage farmer Louis Resnick, who sold his Ellenville farm, the company was manufacturing $12 million of antennas annually by 1954 and had expanded its product line in the 1960s to include transistorized pre-amplifiers along with antenna rotors.

The Ellenville plant received aluminum ingots that were extruded to create parts for the antennas. Additionally, the company extruded lengths of aluminum tubing that was wholesaled to firms that utilized it in products such as webbed folding beach chairs. One such firm was Gersten Brothers of Brooklyn, NY.

Joseph Y. Resnick was also a member of the US Congress. The Joseph Y. Resnick Airport in Ellenville is named in his honor.

Avnet Corporation purchased Channel Master in 1967, moving its manufacturing facilities to a former Sylvania television factory in Smithfield, North Carolina. Avnet sold the company in 1998 at a $33 million profit.

Channel Master filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on 2 October 2003 after losing its largest client, EchoStar. Its Smithfield satellite dish factory, which formerly employed 1,600 people, was turned over to Andrew Corporation as part of an $18 million purchase of Channel Master's equipment, inventory, and intellectual property.

In 2012, a group of private investors led by Coty Youtsey acquired the Channel Master brand and TV antenna business. Channel Master LLC is based in Chandler, Arizona.

## Products

Channel Master's original product was a prefabricated television aerial with hinged elements which would unfold and snap into place; this patented design greatly reduced installation time as existing antenna designs at the time had to be bolted together from multiple pieces by rooftop installers. Later products included antenna rotors, amplified antennas and pocket transistor radios, and rebuilt cathode-ray tubes.

After the sale to Avnet, the Channel Master name was used to import and distribute various electronic products, including home and car stereo equipment, turntables, cassette decks, 8-track players, quadraphonic audio, television receivers and scanner radios. In the 1980s, Channel Master was the only second source for General Instrument (GI)'s Videocipher II module, a building block for satellite television receivers, under a licensing agreement for which Avnet paid GI a million dollars. The Channel Master 4251, a high-performance parabolic UHF television antenna, stood about seven feet in diameter. Channel Master also built distribution amplifiers for cable television, satellite dishes and satellite antenna accessories.

title: Serial Data Transport Interface

abstract: Serial Data Transport Interface is a way of transmitting data packets over a serial digital interface (SDI) datastream. This means that standard SDI infrastructure can be used. Developed to address the needs of the growing number of compressed video standards it allows lossless transfer of data to other devices which have the same codec, for example DV to DV or SX to SX. Using a standard SDI transport, the extra data is placed within normal active video, between Start of Active Video (SAV), and End of Active Video (EAV). This gives 1440 10-bit words of data at 270 Mbit/s. If an SDTI stream is viewed using a standard SDI device, then the raw data can be seen as a small strip along the left-hand side. The DVCAM SDTI has video data at the top, control data in the middle and audio at the bottom just like it is organised on the tape. Because SDTI is used for compressed data the area used is less than a full screen; this allows for faster than realtime transfers. SDTI is standardized as SMPTE 305M. A 1.5 GBit/s version, using the high definition serial digital interface, is standardized as SMPTE 348M.

# Serial Data Transport Interface

**Serial Data Transport Interface** is a way of transmitting data packets over a serial digital interface (SDI) datastream. This means that standard SDI infrastructure can be used.

Developed to address the needs of the growing number of compressed video standards (DV, DVCPRO, BetaSX, MPEG2) it allows lossless transfer of data to other devices which have the same codec, for example DV to DV or SX to SX.

Using a standard SDI transport, the extra data is placed within normal active video, between Start of Active Video (SAV), and End of Active Video (EAV). This gives 1440 10-bit words of data at 270 Mbit/s (1920 words in the 8bit 360 Mbit/s standard).

If an SDTI stream is viewed using a standard SDI device, then the raw data can be seen as a small strip along the left-hand side (usually in purple). The DVCAM SDTI has video data at the top, control data in the middle (Timecode, etc.) and audio at the bottom just like it is organised on the tape.

Because SDTI is used for compressed data the area used is less than a full screen; this allows for faster than realtime transfers.

SDTI is standardized as *SMPTE 305M*. A 1.5 GBit/s version, using the high definition serial digital interface, is standardized as *SMPTE 348M*.
