Streaming media is multimedia that is constantly received by and presented to an end-user while being delivered by a provider. The verb "to stream" refers to the process of delivering or obtaining media in this manner; the term refers to the delivery method of the medium, rather than the medium itself, and is an alternative to file downloading, a process in which the end-user obtains the entire file for the content before watching or listening to it.
As of 2016, streaming is generally taken to refer to cases where a user watches digital video content and/or listens to digital audio content on a computer screen and speakers (ranging from a desktop computer to a smartphone) over the Internet. With streaming content, the user does not have to download the entire digital video or digital audio file before they start to watch/listen to it. There are challenges with streaming content on the Internet. If the user does not have enough bandwidth in their Internet connection, they may experience stops in the content and some users may not be able to stream certain content due to not having compatible computer or software systems. As of 2016, two popular streaming services are the video sharing website YouTube, which contains video and audio files on a huge range of topics and Netflix, which streams movies and TV shows.
Live streaming refers to Internet content delivered in real-time, as events happen, much as live television broadcasts its contents over the airwaves via a television signal. An example of live streaming is Metropolitan Opera Live in HD, a program in which the Metropolitan Opera streams an opera performance "live", as the performance is taking place; in 2013–2014, 10 operas were transmitted via satellite into at least 2,000 theaters in 66 countries.[2] Live internet streaming requires a form of source media (e.g. a video camera, an audio interface, screen capture software), an encoder to digitize the content, a media publisher, and a content delivery network to distribute and deliver the content. Live streaming does not need to be recorded at the origination point, although it frequently is.

Mouseketeer
Bob Iger
Mogul Mouseketeer
By Rupert Murdoch
Inheriting a legendary brand is both a burden and blessing. Bob Iger could have been haunted by the past, but he has instead created a powerhouse for the company’s future, diversifying the portfolio and yet not traducing the tradition.
Hollywood is full of what are loosely called “characters”, a term that is somethimes merely a lousy excuse for bad behavior. But Bob is a thoughtful leader and an earnest individual, decent and dignified, farsighted and focused.
The common theme running throughout the Disney businesses is family—whether it’s movies, television shows, theme parks, Broadway shows or cruises. They are beautifully and successfully integrated businesses. And there is no doubt ESPN is a juggernaut.
Hollywood blinked when Bob spent $ 15 billion on Pixar, Lucas film and Marvel. But they turned out to be great and logically investments that have kept Disney on the front foot. Under Bob, Disney is hardly Frozen in time.
Murdoch is the executive chairman of News Corp. and chairman and CEO of 21st Century Fox.
Mouseketeer
1. One of a group of children appearing on the television program The Mickey Mouse Club in the 1950's.
Etymologies
from Wiktionary, Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License
Blend of mouse and musketeer, from the Mickey Mouse ears worn by the performers.
When one decides to place a gerbil or other small mouse up their rectum, they become a "mouseketeer." Richard Gere was one of the orginal mouseketeers.
I don't travel to West Hollywood, but I'm guessing there are many famous mouseketeers living there.

Manspreading, or man-sitting,
Manspreaders are trying to send the message that bringing their knees closer together is anatomically impossible. The irony is, of course, that for many the conclusion drawn is the exact opposite
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Manspreading, or man-sitting, is a neologism used to describe a man sitting in public transport with legs wide apart, thereby covering more than one seat.[1][2] Both this posture and usage of the term "manspreading" have caused some internet criticism, and debates in the USA, UK, Turkey, and Canada.[3][4] The public debate began when an anti-manspreading campaign was started on the social media website Tumblr in 2013; the term appeared a year later.[5] The Oxford English Dictionary added it as a word in August 2015.[6][7] The term has been criticized as "a caricature of feminism" and has been juxtaposed with examples of women taking up excessive space in public spaces.[2][8]

Neurasthenia is a term that was first used at least as early as 1829 to label a mechanical weakness of the actual nerves, rather than the more metaphorical "nerves" referred to by George Miller Beard later.
As a psychopathological term, neurasthenia was used by Beard in 1869[1] to denote a condition with symptoms of fatigue, anxiety, headache, heart palpitations, high blood pressure, neuralgia and depressed mood.
Neurasthenia is currently a diagnosis in the World Health Organization's International Classification of Diseases (and the Chinese Society of Psychiatry's Chinese Classification of Mental Disorders). However, it is no longer included as a diagnosis in the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.
Americans were said to be particularly prone to neurasthenia, which resulted in the nickname "Americanitis"[2] (popularized by William James[3]). Another, rarely used, term for neurasthenia is nervosism.[4]
神經衰弱是一個在20世紀初受當時的西方醫學影響而傳入中國的術語[1]，用以表示人體神經實際上的機械性衰弱。其英語「Neurasthenia」在早至1829年就有使用，且它不是後來的神經病學家喬治·米勒·比爾德（ George Miller Beard ）所使用的「神經質」（nerves），當中「神經質」較為隱喻。
神經衰弱在1869年首次用作精神病理學上的術語，其亦是由比爾德開創此一先例[2]。用以表示一種疾病，當中症狀包括疲勞、焦慮、頭痛、心悸，高血壓、神經痛，以及抑鬱。
美國人被認為特別容易發生神經衰弱，為此人們為起美國人了一個別名——「Americanitis」（由威廉·詹姆斯推廣[3]）
