HTTP Live Streaming provides a state-of-the-art standards-based solution for streaming video over wireless networks. A key benefit of HTTP Live Streaming is the ability to dynamically adjust to varying network bandwidth conditions. It can store multiple video clips of different quality on a server, and then deliver the one that matches what the customer is capable of viewing on the network they are
currently accessing.

Your application must use the HTTP Live Streaming protocol if it uses the cellular network to deliver video for any stream with a duration of 10 minutes or more. In addition, applications using HTTP Live Streaming over the cellular network must include a low quality stream of no more than 64 Kbps for your app to resort to when network conditions demand it.

To learn more about using HTTP Streaming, read HTTP Live Streaming Overview in the iPhone Reference Library.

Three years ago, President Hrabowski signed the American College and University President’s Climate Commitment and took a major first step towards a sustainable campus. By signing the commitment, the University is pledging to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and incorporate sustainability into the educational experience, as stated on the website. Right now, students are running several projects to move UMBC towards a sustainable food future.

The Great Kids Farm: located on RT 40, this farm has been transformed from a decaying mass of buildings and land into a flourishing environmental education opportunity for Baltimore City School Children. On top of educating students about where their food comes from the farm also supports a local Co-Op as well as volunteers doing everything from building greenhouses to feeding the chickens. Contact: Greg Strella gregory.strella@gmail.com

Students for Environmental Awareness: As part of the ProveIt campaign sponsored by the SGA, members of this organization and beyond have designed a plan to implement a community garden on campus that allows students to grow their own food and hopefully even supply the dining hall. Contact Tanvi Gadhia thetanvi@gmail.com

SGA Environmental Affairs: On top of many environmental issues this department is working with Chartwells to create a system of composting within the kitchen of the dining hall. Partnering with the great kids Farm, compostable materials will be taken to the farm every week and then taken back in order to be used as mulch later on. Contact: Maddy Hall mhall13@umbc.edu

You can also join the Blackboard community for the Baltimore School Food Project by clicking on the ‘Communities’ tab and entering search term ‘food project’.
