Ion Television is an Americanbroadcast, cable and satellitetelevision network that is owned by Ion Media Networks. The network first began broadcasting on August 31, 1998 as Pax TV, focusing primarily on family-oriented entertainment programming; it rebranded as i: Independent Television on July 1, 2005, converting into a general entertainment network featuring mainly recent and older acquired programs; the network adopted its current identity as Ion Television on January 29, 2007.
Ion Television is available throughout most of the United States through its group of 60+ owned-and-operated and affiliated stations, as well as through distribution on cable and satellite providers; since 2014, the network has also increased affiliate distribution in several markets through the digital subchannels of local television stations owned by companies such as NBCUniversal Owned Television Stations and Media General where the network is unable to maintain a main channel affiliation with or own a standalone station, for the same purpose as the distribution of Ion's main network feed via cable and satellite. The network's stations cover all of the top 20 U.S. markets and 37 of the top 50 markets.
The Ion is an electropneumaticpaintballmarker manufactured by Smart Parts. At the time of its release, the Ion was the first fully electropneumatic marker to target entry-level players, at a price point previously inhabited only by Spyders and other mechanical blowbacks. The Ion has generally been credited with making high-rate-of-fire electropneumatic markers available to the masses, at a time when electropneumatic markers were considered out of reach of most casual or budget players.
The original Ion was released in 2005, and soon soared in popularity, though it was often criticized for being difficult to disassemble and service. Smart Parts addressed these concerns in 2007 with the release of the Ion XE, which features the ability to remove the bolt from the back of the marker. .
Features
The Ion's receiver consists of a breech and firing chamber, both hard-anodized. Its grip frame and ASA are both made of die-cast aluminum and are powder-coated. The outer shell of the Ion is polymer. The Ion includes the Vision system,or eyes, an infrared emitter and receiver on either side of the chamber. This prevents the Ion from firing when a ball is not fully loaded in the chamber, reducing the number of "chopped" balls.
The Illinois Observing Nanosatellite (ION) is the first CubeSat mission developed by the students of University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The satellite was lost in the failure of the Dnepr-1 launch on 26 July 2006.
Completed in April 2005 as a part of the Illinois Tiny Satellite Initiative, the satellite took almost four years to be designed, built and tested by an interdisciplinary team of student engineers. The payloads included a photometer, a micro-thruster and a camera.
Mission objectives
The science and technology objectives of the ION-1 mission were aimed at advancing key enabling technologies for CubeSats:
Measurement of oxygen intensity in Earth's ionosphere to understand how energy transfers occur across large regions
Test the MicroVacuum Arc Thruster (µVAT), a versatile small satellite propulsion technology for lateral movement and fine-control of attitude
Test the SID processor board designed specifically for small satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO)
"'Life (Diamonds in the Dark)" is a song by Swedish DJ and producer John Dahlbäck featuring Swedish recording artist Agnes. Dahlbäck originally released the instrumental version of the song called "Life" in February 2012, but later got Swedish singer Agnes to sing the vocals on the re-release. In an interview with American magazine "Billboard" Dahlbäck commented on the co-operation with Agnes; "“She’s one of the biggest pop stars in Sweden, so for me it was a big honor to have her on the track. This may not be what she’d do normally, but she’s very happy with the result.”
The song is released together with three remixes that will accompany the February 25 release. Dahlback selected remixes from Australian upstarts Feenixpawl, fellow Swedish DJs Lunde Bros., and Canadian electro-house artist Lazy Rich.

Unlike its predecessor, Dance to the Music, Life was not a commercial success, although it has received mostly positive reviews from music critics over the years. Many of its songs, including "M'Lady", "Fun", "Love City", as well as the title track, became popular staples in the Family Stone's live show. A middle ground between the fiery A Whole New Thing and the more commercial Dance to the Music, Life features very little use of studio effects, and is instead more driven by frontman Sly Stone's compositions. Topics for the album's songs include the dating scene ("Dynamite!", "Chicken", "M'Lady"), groupies ("Jane is a Groupee"), and "plastic" (or "fake") people (the Beatlesque "Plastic Jim"). Of particular note is that the Family Stone's main themes of unity and integration are explored here in several songs ("Fun", "Harmony", "Life", and "Love City"). The next Family Stone LP, Stand!, would focus almost exclusively on these topics.
Life is the sixteenth studio album by Canadian musician Neil Young, his fifth with Crazy Horse, and Young's last release on the Geffen label. The album was released on July 6, 1987.
The first three tracks all handle the topic of world politics, and ponder the role of the United States in the world. "Long Walk Home," for example, empathizes with troops under deployment overseas. Though in response to the foreign policy issues of the time (Beirut, Qaddafi), Young found new meaning in these songs in the context of the war on terror and the occupation of Iraq. During his "Freedom of Speech" tour in support of Living with War, Young posted videos of these three songs on his website. The "Mideast Vacation" and "Long Walk Home" videos were later released on the DVD included with the album Living with War: In the Beginning. The performances are from his 1986 tour with Crazy Horse and are labeled as being "From Neil Young Archives Volume 3," a perennially unreleased box set in a series of such collections eventually promised to chronicle Young's entire career.

How to visit Mars with a tiny satellite, static electricity and ion thrusters
Cubesats, low-cost, bite-sized satellites inspired by the tubes used to hold Beanie Babies, were invented in 1999 as educational tools.
Now, aerospace suppliers and governments across the globe see the tools as the future of space commercialization and deep space exploration. Some say the tiny satellites could even fend off an asteroid attack.
But there’s still one big problem: CubeSats can’t move once they’re in space -- which limits their survival and makes them dangerous.
Paulo Lozano, director of the Space Propulsion Lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is leading the way in the development of mini thrusters for CubeSats.
To understand how his invention works, you'll need a few drops of water and a fuzzy sweater.

How Do Ion Engines Work? The Most Efficient Propulsion System Out There
People always ask me why we’re stuck with chemical rockets. Seriously, exploding a bunch of hydrogen or kerosene is the best we can do?
Good news, there are other, exotic science fiction-sounding propulsion systems out there which use electromagnetic fields to accelerate atoms, allowing their spacecraft to accelerate for months at a time.
I’m talking about ion engines, of course, and several spacecraft have already used these exotic thrusters to perform some of the most amazing missions in the exploration of the Solar System.

NASA’s Evolutionary Xenon Thruster (NEXT) | Gridded Ion Thruster
A gridded ion thruster uses electrical energy to create, accelerate and neutralize positively charged ions to generate thrust. The discharge chamber is responsible for the creation of ions when neutral atoms and electrons collide while the magnetic field containing the electrons increases ionization efficiency.
The screen and accelerator electrodes accelerate the ions to extremely high speeds using electric fields. The neutralizer provides additional electrons to balance the overall charge being ejected from the thruster and keep the spacecraft electrically neutral.

Startup Creates Tiny Ion Engines for Satellites - featuring Louis Perna
Tough Tech Today Episode 002 featuring Louis Perna
Hosts: Jonathan "jmill" Miller and Forrest Meyen
Overview
No longer the domain of strictly nation-states, 'new space' is undergoing a wave of commercialization and growth. Two key engineering challenges, observed Louis Perna, are in-space communications and propulsion. He and his co-founder, Natalya Bailey, launched Accion Systems to provide cost-effective electrospray propulsion for satellites.
While the complexities of space travel are something that many members of society may recognize, less obvious may be the terrestrial challenges spacefaring tech developers face: designing and manufacturing hardware, cultivating an interdisciplinary team, and working through unit economics of complicated systems. Louis details his insider's view...

Lower orbits are desirable for some spacecraft, but the Earth's atmosphere doesn't give spacecraft below 300km a long life. However ESA scientists recently demonstrated an electrical ramjet that could make low orbits viable for long term spacecraft.

Tough Tech Today Episode 002 featuring Louis Perna
Hosts: Jonathan "jmill" Miller and Forrest Meyen
Overview
No longer the domain of strictly nation-states, 'new space' is undergoing a wave of commercialization and growth. Two key engineering challenges, observed Louis Perna, are in-space communications and propulsion. He and his co-founder, Natalya Bailey, launched Accion Systems to provide cost-effective electrospray propulsion for satellites.
While the complexities of space travel are something that many members of society may recognize, less obvious may be the terrestrial challenges spacefaring tech developers face: designing and manufacturing hardware, cultivating an interdisciplinary team, and working through unit economics of complicated systems. Louis details his insider's view of the privatization of space, one electrospray ion thruster at a time.

Rooted in tradition, faith in innovation and technology, iON TV is the new platform to inspire our community and the world. With a whole set of new ideas and programmes, iON is ready to take the broadcasting media to a new era. Connect & be inspired.
This is an example of some of the promo's and tv commercials I did while at ION. Please remember that all promo's are done under the creative restrictions of each shows sensibilities as well as those of the overall network.
This is a string of promo's that I did while I was working with ION television. This is not a "best of" but simply the ones I happened to make copies of for various reasons. It starts with "Criminal Minds" goes to "Cold Case" then "House" and finishes up with a couple of movie promos.
Ion Television is an Americanbroadcast, cable and satellitetelevision network that is owned by Ion Media Networks. The network first began broadcasting on August 31, 1998 as Pax TV, focusing primarily on family-oriented entertainment programming; it rebranded as i: Independent Television on July 1, 2005, converting into a general entertainment network featuring mainly recent and older acquired programs; the network adopted its current identity as Ion Television on January 29, 2007.
Ion Television is available throughout most of the United States through its group of 60+ owned-and-operated and affiliated stations, as well as through distribution on cable and satellite providers; since 2014, the network has also increased affiliate distribution in several markets through the digital subchannels of local television stations owned by companies such as NBCUniversal Owned Television Stations and Media General where the network is unable to maintain a main channel affiliation with or own a standalone station, for the same purpose as the distribution of Ion's main network feed via cable and satellite. The network's stations cover all of the top 20 U.S. markets and 37 of the top 50 markets.
Cubesats, low-cost, bite-sized satellites inspired by the tubes used to hold Beanie Babies, were invented in 1999 as educational tools.
Now, aerospace suppliers and governments across the globe see the tools as the future of space commercialization and deep space exploration. Some say the tiny satellites could even fend off an asteroid attack.
But there’s still one big problem: CubeSats can’t move once they’re in space -- which limits their survival and makes them dangerous.
Paulo Lozano, director of the Space Propulsion Lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is leading the way in the development of mini thrusters for CubeSats.
To understand how his invention works, you'll need a few drops of water and a fuzzy sweater.

People always ask me why we’re stuck with chemical rockets. Seriously, exploding a bunch of hydrogen or kerosene is the best we can do?
Good news, there are other, exotic science fiction-sounding propulsion systems out there which use electromagnetic fields to accelerate atoms, allowing their spacecraft to accelerate for months at a time.
I’m talking about ion engines, of course, and several spacecraft have already used these exotic thrusters to perform some of the most amazing missions in the exploration of the Solar System.

A gridded ion thruster uses electrical energy to create, accelerate and neutralize positively charged ions to generate thrust. The discharge chamber is responsible for the creation of ions when neutral atoms and electrons collide while the magnetic field containing the electrons increases ionization efficiency.
The screen and accelerator electrodes accelerate the ions to extremely high speeds using electric fields. The neutralizer provides additional electrons to balance the overall charge being ejected from the thruster and keep the spacecraft electrically neutral.

Ion thrusters create small thrust levels in comparison to conventional chemical rockets, but achieve high specific impulse. They could be practical in the vacuum of space.
