Streamit is a company that started in Eindhoven, the Netherlands and now has offices in the US. Streamit develops and sells stand-alone internet radio receivers and point-to-point streaming appliances.
Initially Streamit brought its Lukas product to the marketplace to fill the void left by the loss of the "multi-listener conference call" or so-called "church radio" in the Netherlands. This was a service offered by the Dutch telecom company, that allowed multiple listeners to hear church sermons through their phone system.
The Streamit Lukas product is unique in that it is a stand-alone MP3 streaming receiver (with built-in speaker) that can be pre-programmed to listen to 16 channels of high quality audio from a broadband connection (or broadband through wireless, or through A/C power lines etc.). It does not require a PC or a in-house media server.
The newest product range consists of a line of SIR internet radio devices which are target at professional applications like Background music in hotels and retail stores and as a replacement for AM/FM tuners. These devices also can be mounted in a 19" rack.

Ifghar is a character in the Guardians of Ga'hoole book series.
Ifghar is a Whiskered Screech Owl and Ezylryb's brother, was born along with Ezylryb (then named Lyze) on an island in the Bay of Kiel, in the Northern Kingdoms. Once quiet, studious, and loyal to his brilliant brother, that all changed when Lyze chose the beautiful Whiskered Screech named Liv as a mate. Ifghar had wanted Liv, too, and was instantly jealous. Over time, Ifghar's envy turned into hate, and he conspired with the Clan of the Ice Fangs- the mortal enemies of the Kiel Federation which Lyze served.
Ifghar made a pact with the clan's brutal, power hungry leader that if he led Lyze, Liv, and their troops into a trap and they were able to defeat them, then the rest of the Kielian League would fall, too. But Ifghar demanded one thing- to capture Liv and make her his mate. However, during the ambush, things went awry: Liv was mortally wounded, Lyze escaped, and Brigid, Lyze's Kielian snake partner, had her eyes ripped out- but she, too, escaped with Lyze. Lyze of Kiel became known as Ezylryb, and Brigid as Octavia the nest-maid snake. Ifghar himself went crazy from losing the love of his life.
Since then, Ifghar, along with his turnscale Kielian snake partner, Gragg of Slonk, have sought revenge on Ezlyryb and Octavia, eventually trying to sell them and the rest of the Guardians out to Soren's evil brother Kludd and the Pure Ones.
