Here's a proven fix if you need both analog and HDMI audio outputs and require a way of switching between them. In my case, I had an application where a rack mounted Mac Mini serves as both a media server and an audio source for a whole house paging system.
I first tried using the headphone output as an analog audio output. The problem is that if anything is plugged into the headphone jack, it is not possible to select HDMI for sound output via the Sound preference panel or via any other means. Various people have posted methods for outputting audio to both HDMI and headphone out simultaneously, but my application requires only one output to be active at any given time.
The hardware piece of the solution is a relatively cheap Turtle Beach USB DAC. I'd imagine other USB audio converters would work equally well.
After plugging in the DAC, I confirmed that I could switch audio sources from the Sound preference panel.
The next step was to to automate the audio switching. I found various Applescript techniques on the web for doing this by scripting the sound preference panel UI, but that approach seemed kludgy and probably slower than using a compiled command line tool. If such a tool is included in OS X Mavericks, I couldn't find it. Fortunately, a generous developer created an output switching utility called audiodevice, which is available here.
Audiodevice works perfectly but has one minor quirk. Some output devices have trailing spaces after their names, which need to be included in audiodevice commands.
/usr/local/bin/Audiodevice/audiodevice output "USB Sound Device        "
/usr/bin/afplay "/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple/iLife Sound Effects/Machines/Communication Engaged.caf"
/usr/local/bin/Audiodevice/audiodevice output "HDMI Matrix  "
Notice the spaces after USB Sound Device and HDMI Matrix. If you are not using the Turtle Beach DAC, the USB DAC may have a different name. Use the audiodevice output list command to get a list of the audio output devices installed on your Mac.

It works fine.  However, I wish to initialize the socket after the class constructor is initialized (to allow user input).  Thus, I change from using socket to a socket pointer, as suggested by this post
.  The modified code is as follows:

    }
    catch (std::exception& e)
    {
        std::cerr << "Exception: " << e.what() << "\n";

where I have these replacements:
//boost::asio::ip::udp::socket socket;
boost::shared_ptr<udp::socket> socketPtr;

//boost::asio::ip::udp::socket socket(io_service, endpoint.protocol());
//socket.set_option(boost::asio::ip::udp::socket::reuse_address(true));
socketPtr = boost::make_shared<udp::socket>(boost::ref(io_service), endpoint.protocol());
socketPtr->set_option(boost::asio::ip::udp::socket::reuse_address(true));

//socket.async_send_to(boost::asio::buffer(message), endpoint, [this](boost::system::error_code ec, std::size_t /*length*/)
socketPtr->async_send_to(boost::asio::buffer(message), endpoint, [this](boost::system::error_code ec, std::size_t /*length*/)

Just one thing with the modification: it doesn't work.  I keep poring over the code, and could not find the reason why it shouldn't work.  Could someone please help?

A: In the first sample, besides the member endpoint and socket, you create a local endpoint and socket in Initialize() function. The latter objects are just unused - however, the member endpoint is properly initialized.
On the other hand, in the second example you do not properly initialize the member endpoint. Instead, you create again a local one. But pay attention that the endpoint used throughout the code is the member one.
The bottom line: remove the local objects and add correct initialization for the members.

Lycos shares rallied up 3 1/8 to 57 1/8 Thursday after Chase H&Q upgraded the Internet portal to a "strong buy" recommendation.
Chase H&Q analyst Paul Noglows said Lycos shareholders will enjoy a "near-term, price-appreciation" as its proposed $12.5 billion merger with Terra Networks (Nasdaq: TRRA) moves closer to completion.
Both companies have watched their stock prices erode in the weeks and months since the deal was announced.
In fact, Lycos (Nasdaq: LCOS) shares only managed a slight recovery in mid-May after it topped analysts' estimates by 2 cents a share in its third quarter.
In the quarter, Lycos pocketed $7.9 million, or 7 cents a share, on sales of $78.6 million.
Despite the solid earnings report, Lycos investors have been unnerved by Terra Networks' steady descent since the deal was announced May 16. The stock was trading around 53 1/2 at the time but has since fallen below 40.
At the time, Terra said would buy Lycos in a stock-for-stock transaction for $97.55 per Lycos share, or a total of approximately $12.5 billion in Terra stock.
At Terra's current price, Noglows said that Lycos shareholders still can expect to receive about $79.31 per share.
Terra Networks shares were up 2 7/64 to 39 Thursday afternoon.
Lycos shares hit a 52-week high of 93 5/8 in December after falling to a low of 28 9/16 in August.
Twelve of the 17 analysts tracking Lycos rate the stock either a "buy" or "strong buy."
Current estimates peg it for a profit of 7 cents a share in its fourth quarter.


rare. The significance of water for a healthy and balanced lifestyle cannot be dismissed. The actual day-to-day need for water, may it be with regard to cooking as well as drinking needs to be satisfied with the plain tap water. Having said that, in spite of the purification devices installed by the authorities you may not be sure of obtaining pure drinking water. There are often some contaminants present that may result in infections and also sickness. To get a cheap substitute for bottled water you could have water filters set up on the point of use. One of the most economical and reliable options are the countertop water filter that can be highly reliable and also provide you with clean water.
There are several kinds as well as brand names of countertop drinking water filter systems available. Nearly all are really easy to use. They have got simple set up tips and easy maintenance. The main advantage of these kinds of filters is that you could attach it effortlessly in minutes to the faucet which you utilize for drinking water or washing your face. Moreover, as it is connected on the faucet, the possibility of unintended countertop spills is reduced to a great extent. Overall considering the costs of most brand names you might find that installing it will cost you you just about less than 10 cents per gallon. In case you pay a visit to some websites like eBay, Amazon you might find high quality filter systems offered at affordable rates. There are actually excellent brands offered like Aquasana, Kenmore, Oreck, Brita, GE, Multi-Pures Aqua Dome, and many others.
The counter top water filters are available in 2 forms; one using changeable cartridges and a second that does not require any such change. The interchangeable ones generally possess a life of approximately six months to 1 year while the models without having requirement for change may have lifespan of close to 12 months to 3 years. Each is equally beneficial as well as routine maintenance and cleaning would help make sure you get clean drinking water.
Countertop water filter could be of different kinds like tap mounted, pitchers, coolers, undersink mount, and so forth. Counter top water filters screen for heavy metals and also minerals for instance lead or perhaps asbestos. On the other hand, it may not be able to soften the hard or maybe mineralized water. Quite a few filters include stage carbon media filtering that screens chemical substances including chlorine or even a number of much larger hydro carbon substances. There is ample protection from harmful bacteria including e. coli, salmonella, cysts, viruses etc. It is important to note that minerals including calcium, magnesium and potassium that are essential typically are not removed and kept the way it is in water.
The countertop water filter is built to reduce the cloudiness as well as the undesirable odor or even taste that may be caused due to the microscopic sediments inside water. Moreover, a significant job of such filters is to remove chlorine that is generally found in the municipal water. Typically these filtration systems have an ion exchange system which helps retain necessary vitamins and minerals in your drinking water. The filters remove the hazardous minerals from water and retain the essential minerals. The filters are effective in removing synthetic chemical substances like herbicides, pesticides and solvents. Filters like Aquasana AQ-4000 also have the capability to remove crypotsporidum as well as guardia which are common chlorine resistant microscopic organisms. There are actually fine 0. 5 micron mechanical filter systems for the purpose.
Countertop water filter is really a beneficial product to have in your own home. Clean and healthy drinking water is crucial and a good filtering system on the point of use helps to ensure that you always use clean and pure drinking water.

Subtle Asian Traits Facebook Group
By Rachel Yang	· Published on March 14, 2019
The Brief: Subtle Asian Traits is a popular Facebook group for memes and jokes made by and for Asians around the world.
In 2018, Asian students in Australia created a Facebook group for Asians around the globe to share jokes and memes, touching on light-hearted content related to K-pop and bubble tea, to frustrations surrounding racist treatment from non-Asians. It's since garnered 1.2 million members, recognition in the mainstream media, and spin-off groups like Subtle Curry Traits, which is geared toward South Asians. It's grown to include members from the United States, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, the Netherlands, and more.
SUBTLE ASIAN TRAITS MEMES
Asian food, like boba, White Rabbit candy, and of course rice, are often the subject of debates and memes in the Facebook group.
Many jokes also reference that Asians are known for or pressured into excelling in academic and professional life.
Sometimes posts will touch on more serious subjects, like xenophobia toward Asians or even racist attitudes perpetuated by some Asians.
Previously, there were no large-scale meme groups on Facebook or Reddit that tapped into Asian-specific content, and SAT serves as a way for Asians around the world to find humor, community, and discussion about common cultural norms. It has garnered a New York Times feature piece, and comedian Hasan Minhaj even did an AMA video on the Facebook group while he drank bubble tea. So suffice to say, SAT has made it to the big leagues.

Pgh Momtourage: Join the Momtourage at the Pineapple Classic!
If you're like me, running for long distances for the fun of it aren't my favorite. So when I do races, I've loved finding ones that add some extra fun in such as Color Me Rad or Foamfest. This year I was excited when the organizers of the Pineapple Classic 5k contacted me about their event. It definitely sounds like our family's fun race for this summer!
The Pineapple Classic 5k obstacle course race is a fun and challenging Hawaiian-themed event. Participants will be crawling, climbing, bouncing and bending to raise funds for blood cancer research and patient services. Each team is responsible for carrying one pineapple through the course without letting it touch the ground. Upon crossing the finish line, participants and sponsors are invited to enjoy a luau complete with Hawaiian food, drinks and steel drums!
And I love that there is a children's event as well! Kids ages 2 - 11 years old can join the fun at the Children's Obstacle Course! For a $10 donation, each child will receive a wrist band; which will allow him/her to go through the course as many times as desired and eat at the luau. Children will NOT be assigned start times; all children will go through the course on a first come, first serve basis.
The Children's Obstacle Course will be less than one mile long. The obstacles include: climbing through tires, jumping hurdles, sliding down a slide, crawling through a tunnel, etc. Just like the 5k race, each participant will have to carry a pineapple! (This time its a tissue pineapple) After completing the course, each child is permitted to select ONE of the available giveaway items. Go here to register your kids!
There will also be an inflatable bounce unit (separate from the obstacle course) for all kids.
Each team that registers online will receive a Team Fund-raising page that can be customized and emailed to friends, family, co-workers, etc. In addition, each participant that registers online will also receive a personal fund-raising page that can be customized and emailed to request online donations toward your fund-raising goal. You do NOT have to fund raise in order to participate.
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) is the world's largest voluntary health organization dedicated to funding blood cancer research and providing education and patient services. Founded in 1949, we are relentless in pursuit of our mission: Cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families. As a non-profit, we rely on the generosity of individuals, corporations and foundations. Major annual fundraising campaigns include Team In Training, Light The Night Walk, School & Youth Programs and Man & Woman of the Year Campaigns. Special events such as the Pineapple Classic 5k are newer events that are gaining momentum around the country to support our mission.

Men who dance ladies around the world
Cruise ships hire male hosts to dance or chat with single ladies
The men can take to dance floor up to 60 times in one night
No hanky panky allowed between host and guests
Host: One special dance changed a lady's outlook on life
Next Article in Living »
By Heidi Sarna
(LifeWire) -- For older men who know the difference between a waltz and fox-trot, being a cruise ship host offers evenings in the dance floor spotlight and days in the ocean sunlight traveling to places they would have never seen otherwise.
David Larsen dances with Carol Lee Miles aboard the ship Crystal Symphony during a 2006 cruise through the Panama Canal.
"I've done well over 100 (cruises), including two 100-day world cruises, and I've visited 116 countries," says host David Larsen, a 64-year-old retired engineer from Florida. His favorite ports are Venice, Shanghai, Hong Kong and Monte Carlo.
Yet the life of a host, the retired or semi-retired men whose job it is to entertain older single women as a dance partner or a sterling conversationalist, has its challenges.
"If the band plays lots of quick tempo songs, the legs do get a workout. We do about 60 dances a night," says Larsen.
And then, there are the sticky social moments.
"I have been propositioned by a few married ladies who actually had their husbands on board at the time. Thankfully, they probably had a little too much champagne and didn't remember it the next day," Larsen adds.

Graceful on and off the dance floor
Although dancing on a cruise ship may sound like a dream job, being a social butterfly can be hard work. In addition to gliding across the dance floor for about four hours each evening, duties include attending dance classes on sea days, hosting tables in the dining room and sometimes assisting tour guides on shore excursions.
"Hosting a dining table for eight or 10 means keeping the conversation moving and interesting, which of course can be tedious at times," says 78-year-old Richard Craig, a retired architectural designer from New York City whose ocean travels have taken him to almost every country in the world with a sea port.
"The focus is on making sure the single guests are having a nice time, whether it be dancing or just socializing, laughing, drinking, making friends and introducing them to other guests," says Joseph M. Slye of Virginia. The 60-year-old host was a public relations director for the federal government and now he's now a part-time consultant.
It's not just singles (older and younger) that are looking for a whirl around the dance floor. Some married women with non-dancing husbands are as eager for a dance as anyone. Hosts have to be willing to dance with all interested ladies, regardless of skill level, age or marital status. Favoritism is a no-no, as is any kind of romantic dalliance.
"Crystal does not allow any hanky panky between the host and the lady guests while on board," says Sheila Hoffman, the ambassador host coordinator for Crystal Cruises, adding that a guilty host is ejected at the next port and left to his own devices to get home.
"That doesn't mean that they cannot exchange addresses and phone numbers once the cruise is over. Some romances have led to marriage, so sometimes I actually feel like a marriage broker," Hoffman adds.
The business of hosting
Dance hosts were first used in 1986 aboard the now-defunct Royal Cruise Lines; today, many lines press them into service, especially on their longer cruises. Thanks to the popularity of television shows like "Dancing With the Stars" and the number of older single or widowed women who find cruise ships an enjoyable getaway, the need for male dance hosts doesn't appear likely to wane any time soon. Some sailings have as many as eight hosts on board to take care of 20 or 30 or more single ladies.
"Cruises provide a high level of safety and security as well as built-in opportunities for socializing many senior ladies enjoy," says David Morris, executive vice president of worldwide sales and marketing for Silversea Cruises. "Some women won't consider a cruise that doesn't have dance hosts."
Agencies that place the hosts, including Sixth Star Entertainment, Compass Speakers and Entertainment and To Sea With Z, typically charge dance hosts a fee in the neighborhood of $25 a day to work on such cruise lines as Silversea, Regent Seven Seas, Holland America and Cunard. Crystal Cruises has an in-house host coordinator, however, and there's no fee attached.
All the cruise lines provide the hosts with free room and board, plus the entertainment and activities available to all guests. Some cruise lines throw in free airfare and a stipend for dry cleaning and buying drinks for passengers.
To be hired, potential hosts must produce reference letters, agree to background checks, and take a test or send in a video as proof they are proficient in standard dances, including the mambo, rumba, cha-cha, tango and swing. On top of everything else, hosts are expected to be mannerly, friendly and reasonably fit, whether they're 40-somethings or pushing 75.
Aside from the chance to travel, what other reasons drive these men to the high seas after a full-time work career that's typically kept them land lubbers?
"Most of these men are retired but still like to feel needed," says Tracy Robison of Compass Speakers and Entertainment. Indeed, sometimes a cruise host fills a need far beyond that of a mere dance partner.
"On a Europe cruise I had asked a lady to dance. She hesitated, then agreed and hobbled onto the dance floor holding on to my arm," remembers Ed Champy, a 71-year-old from New Hampshire who's been on more than 75 cruises. "We danced gently in place. She told me she was a stroke victim and said that I had given her a new outlook on life and that she wouldn't let her problem stand in her way ever again."

Senators 'troubled' after Rice meeting Bergen: Senseless Benghazi obsession


When buying a new pair of shoes, always put comfort as a priority.
You should also think about its function and it's health effects for your feet.
Choosing the right shoes is an investment that can benefit your feet and your whole body as well.
How do you look for the right shoes that offer sufficient support to your feet?
The type of shoes you wear is probably one of the things that most people observe when they look at you. Thus, having the right shoes make a great first impression.
But you should also remember that fashion shouldn't be the only thing that you must consider when buying for new shoes.
Foot care is also important because choosing a shoe that is not appropriate for you can lead you to a lot of health problems.
For a little help, here are some of the best tips that can help you choose the right and proper shoes for your feet.
Even if you feel that the shoes are perfect and comfortable, you should always move and stand with them to be able to examine them more.
Check if there is sufficient room at the front space of the shoe to let your feet forward when you move along.
Always double check if the heel fits comfortably without any slipping.
The correct and accurate footwear for your feet shouldn't move upward and downward as you walk.
To find out how they feel, you must walk around and test it. Make sure that there is enough space for your feet to breath.
Do not reason out that the shoes will be stretch and extended with time. Look for shoes that fit at the moment you try it.
Do not let yourself measure your feet alone always ask some help that is coming from a sales representative to measure your feet.
Have them measured every time you buy new shoes. Always remember that your feet change as you grow old, sometimes it grows larger and wider.
Before you go to the mall and buy shoes, make sure that you already know the purpose of your shoes. Is it for sport? For Fashion? Or is it for Work?
For instance, if your destination is going to the beach, you wouldn't want to wear school shoes or Steel toe boots, right?
If you want to have an adventure outdoors, go for low cut boots.
On the other hand, when you go for outdoor activities especially in cold-weather, try to choose for shoes that appropriate for the weather.
For dress shoes, although the style and design is the main concern, take time to consider how much walking you will do.
Go for shoes that are more than comfortable. Find for shoes with lower heel height and with a remarkable style.
Shoes for sports, however, have a lot of specific designs depending on the sport. For example, golf requires golfers to wear cleats, Soccer and Football players need spiked shoes, Basketball players need basketball shoes, and so on.
If you need some additional things like bags or luggage, try to do research online. There are lots of trusted stores online that offer good quality products like Luggage Online.
With lots of options readily available on the market, choosing one that's good for you has never been more easier.
Always go for shoes that offer the most comfortable feeling for your feet.
Now that you already got some tips that can help you in your search, it would be easier for you to choose for the right shoes.
Follow all the tips the is given above so that you won't have any problems when you wear your shoes.


I am an N scale modeler and have just become interested in the steam era and have been looking into passenger equipment. I have noticed in some photos a baggage car that looks like a Harriman type baggage car. It has a rounded roof with a row of evenly spaced vents on either side. Did Southern have any of these cars?
Also I have a question about color. From what I have read it sounds like the two tone Crescent Limited paint scheme didn't last long and the cars were painted standard Pullman green after that. Is that true?
Southern never owned (directly) any Harriman cars (though a few did come into their possession when they acquired the Central of Georgia, and none of these ever carried "SOUTHERN" lettering).
And, yes, the Crescent Limited's fancy paint did not last long at all, with all the cars eventually being repainted into Pullman green.
-- Jerry M. LaBoda (laboda@bellsouth.net), December 10, 2004.
That's it! Thanks Jerry. Now if only I could find one in N scale. I've got all the Rivarossi Pullman heavyweights, but these seemed to pretty common as well judging from the pictures in the few books I've read.
-- Richard Mansker (rwmansker@earthlink.net), December 11, 2004.
Buy the way Jerry, do you post on the Atlas Model Railroad forum? Your name sounds familiar.


At its core, shopping is an interactive experience. Local stores know the habits and preferences of their regulars. In many countries, haggling is a central part of the process. But with the advent of the Internet, this face-to-face contact has slowly ebbed away. The customer base in both the B2C and B2B worlds has become more fragmented, increasingly anonymous, and harder to impress – but also more international, demanding, and – above all – empowered.
In order for businesses to be leaders in their market segments, getting back that personal connection with each client is vital. With an omni-channel platform like hybris, both B2C and B2B companies can make sure they meet the needs and wants of every single customer in any setting – to do business like locals.
Customer expectations vary around the globe, with B2B buyers in different countries placing varying levels of importance on different channels and aspects of the buying process. The sales channels a company offers may be standard in their domestic market, but not necessarily for its clients in, say, Brazil. Their customers still buy plenty, but maybe not in the volume or frequency they would if the service were tailored to match their business style, on the channels of their choice.
A study by Forrester exploring global B2B buying habits revealed the importance of knowing your client base. The visibility of technical product specs may be a top priority for Chinese buyers, while Australian buyers value visibility of online pricing information above all else. Payment methods are some of the most varied between countries, and so are the top reasons for making repeat purchases from a supplier. The more international a business is and the greater its variety of products, the more varied its clients' needs will be – and its customers' journeys will become more and more individual and complex. The major future challenge for any company will be to deliver satisfying customer experiences at every touchpoint of every unique customer journey.
How can a business make every single one of its customers feel spoken to? They want a choice: of how and where and when to buy, each with equally high levels of service and convenience. With hybris omni-channel commerce solutions, it's easy to meet their individual needs.
Create a seamless shopping experience across all digital and physical customer buying journeys and touchpoints – including online shop, mobile, point-of-sale, and call center. A single view of customers, orders, stock and products enables product recommendations and catalog content tailored to each client – in their language and currency.

Localized catalogs, content, and branding enable businesses to adapt to the purchasing practices of their clients in any setting. The solution also helps create efficient workflows for collaboration with internal creative teams or agency partners. Simply put, hybris ensures companies are easy to buy from, no matter where in the world they or their customers are.
An experienced IT consultancy ensures new software is configured to best meet the needs of both company and customer, while also making sure it's seamlessly integrated into the existing IT landscape. itelligence is a global, certified hybris partner dedicated to SMEs. E-commerce expert teams work closely with each client to ensure a smooth transition from multi-channel to hybris omni-channel – in every market.

The Earl of Shaftesbury (1671-1713) was tutored by John Locke and wrote one of the most influential books of the 18th century, The Characteristicks of Men, Manners, and Opinion (1737). He included a number of illustrations designed by himself in order to complement the text. Shaftesbury designed the illustrations which accompanied the publication of his treatise in 1713. They are quite allegorical in nature and the meaning of many of the symbols is not entirely clear. A discussion of what they might mean can be found in Felix Paknadel, "Shaftesbury's Illustrations of Characteristics," Journal of the Warburg and Courtault Institutes, vol. 37 (1974), pp. 290-312. http://www.jstor.org/stable/750844.
Shaftesbury also included "footnotes" in many of his illustrations, directing the viewer to relevant passages in his book which would explain or expand on the ideas presented in the image. We will provide links to these passages so our readers can explore Shaftesbury's ideas in further depth. We also provide links to much larger versions of the images. These are important as there is a great deal of finely drawn imagery which is only revealed in higher resolution images. For example, in the title page to volume 2 a higher resolution image shows the herd of deer and flock of birds in the central part of the top panel; or in the portrayal of Shaftesbury immediately below one can even read the authors of the books next to his left arm - Plato and Xenophon.
These illustrations comes from Liberty Fund's edition of Characteristics which was published with high quality cards of the art work to accompany the printed volumes.
Anthony Ashley Cooper, Earl of Shaftesbury, Characteristicks of Men, Manners, Opinions, Times, ed. Douglas den Uyl (Indianapolis: Liberty Fund, 2001). 3 vols. /title/1851.
Illustration of Shaftesbury; frontispiece to volume 1.
Note the names of the books next to his left arm - Xenophon and Plato.
One might conclude from this image that men are free to choose between vice and virtue, harmony and cooperation or disharmony and violence, whereas animals (such as bees, ants, birds, etc) cooperate with their kind naturally. Shaftesbury however is confident that when mankind is left free to choose then s/he will and does choose virtue over vice, with the result being cooperation, harmony, and prosperity.
Note the "footnotes" Shaftesbury provides for each of the panels: top - p. 307 etc, p. 318 etc.; middle - p. 252; bottom - p. 18 etc, 287. These passages give a clearer picture of the meaning Shaftesbury intended for this illustration.

Those Left Out of Medicaid Expansion Won't Be Penalized ... Or Insured
By Kaiser Health News, June 28, 2013 03:01 PM
By Alvin Tran, Kaiser Health News
Low-income Americans who live in states that have decided not to expand Medicaid eligibility will not face penalties if they fail to buy insurance next year.
Discussion: 78 million consumers saved $3.4 billion on ACA-provisioned health insurance
That's according to a final rule on exemptions to the health law's individual mandate - the law's controversial requirement that most Americans have health coverage or pay a penalty in 2014. That rule was published Wednesday.
The health law calls for an expansion of Medicaid, the federal-state insurance program for low-income Americans, by making it available to people up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level, which for individuals is $11,490 in 2013, and providing new federal funding to cover the costs for the first three years, and no less than 90 percent after that. But the Supreme Court ruled last year that states could not be forced to join in that program. About half the states so far have opted against the expansion, a concern for supporters of the law because it could leave millions of people without access to affordable coverage.
Related: Countdown to Care - Medaid's Winners and Losers
The law provides subsidies to help low-income people, but they are available only to those who earn between 100 and 400 percent of the poverty level. Individuals and families earning less than 100 percent who live in states not expanding Medicaid have few, if any, options for affordable insurance.
The final rule is similar to draft proposals from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and Treasury in January.
Those who do not have health coverage, and who do not meet the criteria for exemptions, must pay the penalty at the end of the tax year. The penalty for the first year is $95 per adult and $47.50 per child, or 1 percent of family income, whichever is greater, and it increases over time.

Alexis Ohanian (left) and Serena Williams were married in New Orleans Thursday. Vogue spoke to Williams about her big day and shared dozens of photos.
Tennis icon Serena Williams married Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian in New Orleans Thursday, and gave the first official photos to Vogue magazine to share.
The ceremony was in front of 200 guests made up of family and friends -- Venus Williams, Beyonce, Kim Kardashian Anna Wintour, Ciara and the newlyweds' 2-month-old daughter Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr. among them.
Williams detailed her big day for Vogue in a story published Friday.
The wedding date -- Nov. 16 -- held special importance for both as it was Ohanian's late mother's birthday.
"Obviously, we wish that she could be here for this, but choosing her birthday as our wedding date was a nice way of making sure she's still involved and made us feel more connected to her on our day," Williams told Vogue.
The "Beauty and the Beast" themed wedding included a Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen ball gown that Williams walked down the aisle in. The venue was designed similar to a fashion show.

Baby Alexis was carried down the aisle by Williams' mother, Oracene Price, and Williams' best friend, Val Vogt, carried the athletes Yorkshire terrier, Chip, down the aisle. The dog, which Williams has referred to as her son, wore a tiny tuxedo and top hat.
The two exchanged personally written vows to each other before changing outfits for the reception. In between the ceremony and reception, guests were at a cocktail hour outside. A second line parade brought guests back inside, where guests dined on Southern, Armenian and Italian food at four long tables named after Williams' Grand Slam wins.
After tying the knot with @alexisohanian last night, @serenawilliams debuted her second dress of the evening, a dramatic beaded, feathered @versace_official moment that made her look like a fashion-forward superwoman. Tap the link our bio to see all the stunning photos. Photographed by @melbarlowandco and @allanzepedaphotography.
"You are the greatest of all time, not just in sport. I'm talking about as a mother, and as a wife. I am so excited to write so many more chapters of our fairy tale together." Congratulations to @serenawilliams and @alexisohanian, who exchanged vows last night. Tap the link in our bio to see the exclusive first photos from their fairytale wedding in New Orleans. Photographed by @melbarlowandco and @allanzepedaphotography.
"Serena wanted a ball, but she wanted a modern ball, not anything that was too stuffy," event designer Preston Bailey said of the reception.
Williams changed into a custom feathered and beaded Versace dress after the couple was introduced as Mr. and Mrs. Alexis Ohanian. The newlyweds did a choreographed first dance and later in the evening danced on stage as New Edition performed.
Early Friday morning, the event ended with a surprise: Ohanian brought out a carousel for his new bride.

From reproductive health and gynecology services to mental health and mammogram screenings, learn what you can expect from a California-based health insurance plan.
Women's healthcare is central to a healthy world. Thankfully, California is committed to providing critical forms of healthcare—including reproductive health—for all women. Most health plans in California offer preventive care, mental health services, maternal health services, and coverage for other women's health issues. One way to access these benefits is through Covered California, a free service that helps Californians find and pay for quality brand-name health insurance.
Preventive Care for Women
Health plans must provide coverage for women's health services, such as women-specific free preventive care. Annual well-woman gynecology care, breastfeeding support, breast cancer genetic test counseling (BRCA) for women at higher risk, sexually transmitted infection (STI) screening, mammogram screening for women over 40, osteoporosis screening for women over 60 and more are covered at no additional cost.
As women are two to three times more likely to be diagnosed with depression than men, mental health coverage is one more way of bringing women's health to the forefront. And mental and behavioral health services are essential benefits that must be covered by insurance, according to federal law.
With a health insurance plan, your coverage includes behavioral health treatment like counseling, inpatient mental and behavioral health care, and substance abuse disorder treatment. California law adds an extra layer of protection by requiring health plans in the state to cover a wide swath of mental health conditions (major depressive disorders, bipolar disorder, anorexia nervosa and more).
Maternal Health Coverage
Prenatal care, labor, and delivery are covered under all plans available through Covered California. Preventive services are guaranteed for expecting moms. That includes screening tests for gestational diabetes, hepatitis B, and anemia. Folic acid supplements – recommended during pregnancy – are available for no cost with a prescription. New moms can also get access to lactation support and breastfeeding equipment.
Pregnant women without a health plan may also be eligible for free or affordable pregnancy coverage through Medi-Cal (California's healthcare program for people with low income) and the Medi-Cal Access Program (MCAP). MCAP is for pregnant middle-income women without health insurance who aren't eligible for Medi-Cal. If you have insurance but your plan doesn't include maternity services, MCAP can help with that too. It can also help with maternity-only deductibles or copayments greater than $500. Women eligible for these pregnancy care programs get a year of postpartum (after childbirth) care coverage, regardless of immigration status or how the pregnancy ends.
Reproductive Health and Birth Control
In California, reproductive care is basic health care. Contraceptive methods, including hormonal birth control, intrauterine devices (IUDs) and emergency contraception like the morning-after pill, are covered with a prescription. Under California law, insurance plans must also cover abortion care as well.
Recently, California has taken additional steps to protect and improve access to reproductive health care. Governor Newsom passed a $125 million package to invest in women's health specialists and family planning, support sexual health education, and help low- and moderate-income women pay for medical abortions.
What's more, the California governor recently signed a bill — known as the Contraceptive Equity Act of 2022 — to expand access to birth control across the state. This bill requires coverage of over-the-counter birth control options and vasectomy procedures, and clarifies that employers may not discriminate against employees for their contraceptive or reproductive health decisions.
Staying Insured Is Easier Than Ever
Take advantage of all the benefits California offers insured individuals by signing up for a health plan. Coverage may cost less than you think — many people pay as little as $0 per month when they apply through Covered California. Not sure where to start?

Polski Atlas Etnograficzny – atlas etnograficzny obejmujący zasięgiem cały obszar Polski w granicach po 1945.

Specyfiką Atlasu jest prezentowanie w nim przede wszystkim informacji pochodzących z przeprowadzanych na jego potrzeby badań terenowych.

Historia
Początki prac nad atlasem sięgają okresu międzywojennego i prac Kazimierza Moszyńskiego nad Atlasem kultury ludowej w Polsce. Po wojnie przejęło je Towarzystwo Ludoznawcze. W III 1947 r. w Krakowie odbyła się konferencja z udziałem polskich etnografów i przedstawicieli nauk pokrewnych, na której zatwierdzono plan Atlasu. W latach 1948–1952 prace nad atlasem prowadzone były we współpracy z Uniwersytetem Marii Skłodowskiej-Curie w Lublinie, a w latach 1952–1953 z Uniwersytetem Poznańskim. W 1953 r. prace zostały przejęte przez Instytut Historii Materialnej Polskiej Akademii Nauk (najpierw w ramach Uniwersytetu Poznańskiego, a po przeprowadzce Józefa Gajka do Wrocławia - na Uniwersytecie Wrocławskim).

Pierwszym redaktorem naczelnym atlasu był Józef Gajek, pełniąc tę funkcję również po przejścu na emeryturę w 1972. Wówczas kierownikiem zespołu został Janusz Bohdanowicz, który po śmierci Gajka został także redaktorem naczelnym (od 1988 r.). W 1998 funkcję tę przejął Zygmunt Kłodnicki.

Po powodzi w 1997 r. archiwum atlasu mieści się w Cieszynie, w Filii Uniwersytetu Śląskiego. Obecnie zdeponowane jest ono w Archiwum Polskiego Atlasu Etnograficznego w Instytucie Etnologii i Antropologii Kulturowej.

Materiały źródłowe
Zgodnie z ustaleniami konferencji z 1955 r. oraz wytycznymi Komisji do spraw PAE, podstawę źródłową Atlasu stanowiły materiały z badań terenowych zbieranych przez wykwalifikowanych etnografów, materiały z ankiet wypełnianych przez korespondentów terenowych oraz materiały z literatury i archiwów.

Sieć badań
Cechą odróżniającą Polski Atlas Etnograficzny od większości europejskich atlasów tego rodzaju jest oparcie się na stałej sieci miejscowości. Sieć ta, złożona z 338 wsi, została określona w latach 1953-1954 (na podstawie reprezentatywnego stanu rozwoju kulturalnego wsi oraz ich równomiernego rozmieszczenia). Niektóre z nich zostały w późniejszych latach zamienione na miejscowości znajdujące się w bliskim sąsiedztwie.

Obok stałej sieci wykorzystywano sieć zapasową, zawierającą wsi bezpośrednio sąsiadujące ze stałymi punktami, przeznaczoną do prowadzenia badań uzupełniających.

Publikacje
Początkowo zakładano, że obok opracowań kartograficznych równolegle ukazywać będą się tomy komentarzy. Ze względu na ograniczenia kadrowe i finansowe oraz szybką modernizację wsi zdecydowano się na skupienie się na części kartograficznej .Od roku 1956 do 1993 opublikowano 6 zeszytów Atlasu (bez wydanego w 1958 r. zeszytu próbnego) z 9 przygotowanych do publikacji.

Ze względu na brak środków, 1986 r. Komitet Redakcyjny Atlasu podjął decyzję o publikowaniu opracowań tekstowych zamiast opracowań kartograficznych. Tzw. Komentarze do Polskiego Atlasu Etnograficznego  wydawane są od 1993 r. przez Polskie Towarzystwo Ludoznawcze.

3Squared was delighted to be invited by Benchmark Recruit and Bhayani Law to speak at November's inaugural CDI (Creative Digital Industries) cafe event.
Benchmark Recruit and Specialist Employee Solicitors, Bhayani Law, have teamed up to host a series of quarterly business breakfasts tailored expressly for the Creative and Digital Industries. The talks tackle various issues covered under the 'employee life cycle', with the first event set up more specifically to discuss 'attracting and onboarding staff'. We were thrilled to be recognised as a company who has created a desirable, productive and positive company culture and welcomed the opportunity to share some of the processes and idiosyncrasies that we feel give 3Squared its identity.
The event was well attended and further reinforces the fact that the Sheffield scene is buzzing with enthusiasm, ideas and passion for all things business related.
Further events are scheduled for 16th February 2017, which focuses on 'managing, motivating or moving staff'. 'Protecting or neglecting' is under the spotlight on 25th May 2017 and 'exit management' is the topic on 14th September 2017.


A scooter rider traveling north on SW 157th Avenue suffered an injury to the neck when the scooter he was on was hit from behind, police said.
The crash happened on Southwest 157th Avenue, between Sunset Drive and SW 64th Street near Planet Fitness.
"A man on a scooter was stationary on SW 157th Ave., between Sunset Drive and SW 64th Street and a vehicle collided with the scooter while it was stationary and it caused the scooter to collide with another vehicle. The driver of the scooter was ejected from his scooter to the roadside," said a Police Detective.
First emergency responders arrived shortly after the accident happened. The injured victim was transported to Kendall Regional Medical Center with a serious neck injury.
Investigators don't know why the scooter wasn't moving but think if may have been because of traffic congestion.
The names of those involved in the crash have not yet been released. The investigation into the cause of the crash is continuing.


I looked into the eyes of the Spanish police officer across from me.
I couldn't. The walk had been unplanned, an afternoon's jaunt out into the National Park. We didn't even take a map with us. I'd waved a car down two days later, suffering from sunstroke and severe dehydration.
I could see it in the detective's eyes, could imagine what he was thinking.
They found her body two days later. She was lying at the base of the cliff where she'd fallen. Severe head trauma was given as the cause of death. They asked me some questions. I answered as best I could through the fog of despair, the pain of loss.
I flew home with her body a week later. Kate met us at the airport, her carer at her side. The moment I saw her, so frail in her wheelchair, I burst into tears. We hugged for a full ten minutes in the middle of Arrivals, both sobbing, united in our grief as holidaymakers hurried past.
The funeral was well attended. Everyone had liked Barbara. She had been a strong, determined woman. With the help of a carer, Kate stood up and shuffled over to the casket, and placed a white rose on top. Her Mum's favourite flower.
Two weeks later I held the envelope in my hand. The insurance company logo was on the front. Inside was the life insurance cheque. Two hundred and fifty thousand pounds. The bank offered me the services of a financial advisor, but I already knew what the money would be used for.
Kate and I sat at the table, the clinic's glossy brochure open in front of us. I explained to her about the experimental treatment, about how hard the travel would be for her, and about the possibilities that would lie at the other side of that journey.
"It's what your mother would have wanted," I told her.
She nodded her head in agreement. We were both sad, but for the first time we also felt some hope.
Days later we sat in an airport once again, ready to take the first leg of our journey to the clinic in Chicago. Kate looked tired, but she gave me a smile and squeezed my hand when she saw my concern.
"We'll go and get you a coffee," she said, and her carer wheeled her in the direction of the nearby café.
I took my wallet out. Inside was a picture of Barbara and Kate, taken when Kate was just twelve, just after we'd been given the diagnosis. Barbara looked resolute, determined that nothing would harm her little girl.
I put the photo back, next to the card for the Bar Sunset in Tenerife. It was there that we had decided.
In the end she'd never even hesitated, not even for a second.
"Look after our daughter," she told me, looking deep into my eyes, then walked over the edge of the cliff. We'd agreed that it had to look authentic, for Kate's sake. I sat in the sun for two days afterwards, not eating, not drinking, before striking out for civilisation.
The announcement for our flight came over the tannoy. I waved over to Kate and got our bags together.
Outside the sun was rising into a perfect blue sky, its golden rays bringing light and hope and love into a brand new day.
Excellent Bill, but I haven't seen Barbara for a while at the folkies. Hope I didn't underestimate the gravity of the situation. And yes, this thing called "integrity" has several measuring sticks and this one is certainly well calibrated.

What are the Similarities and Differences between ALMA and FAST?
What are the Similarities and Differences between ALMA (Atacama Large Millimeter Array) and FAST (Five hundred meter aperture spherical telescope)?
What can they see, what's their resolution like? How do they compare?
radio-astronomy
This is quite a broad question, since there are far more differences than similarities between the two. This answer will focus on the first part of the question and be about the technical aspects of the two telescopes.
Basics: FAST is a "classic" filled aperture telescope. This means it consists of a single large dish that focuses incoming radio waves on a single receiver (this is simplified). In contrast, ALMA is an interferometer: Many (> 60) dishes each focus incoming radiation on their own receiver. The relative positions of the individual telescopes is known to great precsion, and both amplitude and phase of the incoming radiation measured, which allows astronomers to combine several or all of the telescopes for a single observation. The maximum achievable resolution is then not determined by the diameter of a telescope but by the distance between those furthest apart. (Again, this is greatly simplified; interferometry is complicated.) In principle, FAST could also become part of a huge interferometer called VLBA.
Wavelength: FAST is a "classic" radio telescope, observing in the centimeter to meter wavelength range. ALMA is a sub-mm telescope operating at smaller wavelengths of 0.3 mm to about 1 cm.
Resolution: since the resolution is $ \propto \lambda / d$, with $\lambda$ the wavelength and $d$ the diameter of the telescope, ALMA has a much higher resolution - smaller $\lambda$ and greater $d$. ALMAs resolution is given as 10 milliarcseconds, while in the ideal case FASTs is $1.22 \cdot 0.1 / 500 \cdot( 180 / \pi \cdot 3600) = 50$ arcseconds at 10 cm wavelength. For comparison, according to wikipedia the unaided human eye has a resolution of about 60 arcseconds.
Atmospheric transmission: FAST observes in a wavelength regime in which our atmosphere is quite transparent. In contrast, the ALMA dishes are located in one of the driest deserts of the world at an altitude of over 5000 m, in order to minimize the effects of water vapour in the atmosphere.
Collecting area: FAST has a much larger collecting area. Also (I'm uncertain in this point, please correct this if I'm wrong) you lose some sensitivity when doing interferometry compared to just pooling the collecting areas of the single telescopes in ALMA.
Point Spread Function: The PSF of a single telescope, even a radio telescope, is much simpler than that of an interferometer. So the data analysis required to turn observations into an image should be much more straightforward for FAST.
There are some differences in the required surface accuracy (imperfections significantly smaller in scale than the observed wavelength do not matter) and surface composition - the ALMA dishes are solid metal, whereas the FAST dish is perforated. This works because as long as the holes are smaller than the wavelength, the incoming radio waves see it as solid.
The receivers used to convert incoming photons to electricity for both telescopes work on the same principles. Practically, it is much more difficult for ALMA due to the high frequencies at the edge of the far-infrared spectrum. ALMAs shortest wavelengths are just a little too long for receivers used in infrared or optical telescopes to work, and almost too short for normal radio receivers to work.
