On the streets of New York City's Greenwich Village, Willie Nile can name the landmarks around him and remember the moments sitting on his fire escape watching the world go by. But mostly it's where he finds inspiration. Standing on the corner of Bleeker and Mulberry Streets, within ten minutes he'll tell you that you're likely to hear six languages.
"There's everything to write about," the singer said about the landscape that has served him for over forty years.
When Nile spoke to me, he had just returned from a tour of Europe where he filmed a promotional trailer for the new album. Nile is sitting atop the balcony of the Basilica in Madrid. There is Nile proselytizing and bringing the good news about the "Children of Paradise," the title songs of a new album he's set to unleash in late July on River House Records. The affirmation in religious tones has even greater meaning in the divisive days of 2018.
"Does anyone even care?" NIle asks in the song that became "Getting Ugly. "It's getting ugly out there I swear." On Children of Paradise, Nile tackles global warming in "Earth Blues," corporate greed and likens the president as the host of a new game show. When Nile sings about judgement day and the fall of mankind, the rant and roll is a record he might have called Apocalypse Now.
But it's the anthemic "Don't" with its punkish bravado and killer line "Don't let the fuckers take your buzz" that may be the song of summer. Children of Paradise feels like a record made for the times in which we live. It contrasts Nile's commentary with his unbridled aspiration and faith in people.
When Nile released his debut album Willie Nile, he wrote of the homeless, giving voice to those living in the shadows in "People on The Bowery." It fueled a kind of anger and formed a blueprint for rock and roll that transcended Nile being just another Village folkie and typecast as the new (or next) Dylan.
Nile's "Across The River" was inspired by aumiliar incident some forty years ago. I wondered where does the empathy that permeates Nile's work. Nile directly credits his parents for their kindness and generosity.
At the age of eight, he remembers the year his mother suggested to his father that they bring in a foreign exchange student. With eight mouths to feed (ten counting his parents), they began a tradition. Throughout his life, Nile was exposed to hundreds of visitors through the family's relationship with a local Catholic organization in his native Buffalo.
Nile remembers the time his father received a letter from India asking if he would sponsor an eighteen year old boy. After staying a few months with the family, he went back home and wanted to send an elephant to thank the family. Nile and his sister delighted in the idea of having an elephant in the backyard. (Last Spring Nile was reunited in Chicago with him as he was very ill and after decades of no contact.).
Another time he recalls one freckled teenager named Paula Clark who came to stay after her family saved enough money for two years. Within two days a phone call came to the home. Her dad died suddenly. His father had to make his way upstairs to tell her. For Nile, it was the lesson of seeing real life pass before his eyes.
His father's admonition to son to work shaped his values and storytelling. When Nile appeared onstage last year at Jammin Java outside Washington, D.C., he was getting ready to head home celebrate his father's 100th birthday. One of the night's most special moments occurred when Niles walked stage left and sat at the upright piano.
Nile began sharing the origin of the song "If I Was a River." It was originally being considered for the film Pearl Harbor when it caught the attention of U2's Bono. He loved it and might have recorded it but the timing wasn't right. He suggested Nile send it to director Martin Scorsese who was making a film about the Irish coming to America. Nile did along with a song called "The Crossing." Although it didn't make it into the soundtrack, the song has grown in stature for our current times.
Onstage he talked about thinking of his ancestors' journey from Ireland. "We all succeeded, " he said in an affirmation that spoke volumes in a divisive time.
Reflecting on it later he spoke of its broader meaning. "When I sing it," he told me, "it was for that but it's whatever the crossing…the personal mountain to climb, the personal bridge to cross, getting over heartache, the loss of a loved one…you name it.
That spirit continues in the song "American Ride." Nile says the song just came to him and it pays homage to the adventurous spirit of pioneers who came to this country with $10 in their pockets to make a better life for themselves and their families.
"The dream that is this country I still believe in," he reflects. As a child he grew up with John F. Kennedy as president and was inspired by the Peace Corps and helping others. He is reminded by the late Robert F. Kennedy's admonition that we can do better.
In the song, Nile characterizes America as a country "in disguise." He admits it's hard to see a country so divided today.
Nile's own American ride began with trips hitchhiking to New York and spending summers in Greenwich Village. Looking back, his discovery was meteoric and happened quickly. After years of toiling, Nile began playing six night a week at Kenny's Castaways. A New York Times review by Robert Palmer touched off a record label label frenzy to sign the next big thing.
"I couldn't have made it up if I tried," he reminisces about how Clive Davis signed him to Arista Records. For the past two years, Nile has been compiling notes about his life. Initially dismissive of a book, he has realized it might be interesting. "There are things I have seen." A filmmaker is also working on a documentary.
In many ways we're still coming to see artists like Nile trying to find those transcendent moments that come out of the magic of rock and roll. Nile, who is prone to mixing up his setlists, gives himself plaudits from mixing streaming conscious in songs like "All Mixed Up and No Place To Go" and "Earth Blues" with underlying messaging about issues of the day.
Recently a trailer appeared on Facebook of Nile leaving Electric Ladyland studios with a test pressing of Children of Paradise under his arm. The studio was once an apartment for Jimi Hendrix and bears the same name as his landmark album. Nile lives a short walk away and is neighbors with Steve Earle. His passion for the neighborhood came into play during the making of the album's Pledge Music campaign. You can still support the project and join Nile for a personalized group tour of Greenwich Village landmarks.
Back in the day, Nile was too broke to front a band so he went to piano stores around town to get in practice. He went to a bar called CBGB and waited to approach the club owner Hilly Kristal to try and secure a gig. Nile discovered a singer by the same on the jukebox and ventured it must be the club owner. He spent four dollars in quarters playing it while he waited. Nile still remembers the large black piano when he took the stage, only to learn it was a Hells Angel bar.
Nile who pays homage to the punk rock landmark in his song "Rock N Roll Sister," went to on the last night before it closed. The line wrapped around the block but he was recognized at the door and let in. Kristal had since passed away.
Nile had just come back from Europe when we spoke, and I asked what it's like. He invoked the words of the great late songwriter Doc Pomus who said: "They really know how to treat a songwriter." Nile met Pomus at Kenny's Castaways. The writer of such rock classics as "Little Sister," "Up On The Roof," "Young Blood" and "Save The Last Dance For Me," was wheelchair bound but had a van drop him off every night to see Nile.
Nile couldn't believe he was standing with the two men in front of him.
All these years later it's the voice of Pomus he still hears and can mimic in the songwriter's scruffy, raspy tone.
"I like what you're doing kid," Pomus told him that day.

2015 Toyota Camry Pros vs Cons. Should You Buy?
Should You Buy a 2015 Toyota Camry? Here Are Some Reasons For and Against
Every year, car buyers choose the Toyota Camry because it is a reliable name they know. This year's restyled model will surely experience similar acceptance. Drivers who want to choose a dependable car and not face doubts as they pull away from the dealership should go with the updated 2015 Toyota Camry.
Top Ten Reasons to Buy a 2015 Toyota Camry - The Pros
1) Longevity
A consideration of dependability matters with cars. Nobody wants to spend tens of thousands on a car that cannot make it several years without a repair. The 2015 Toyota Camry is a car that lasts.
One driver online tells of owning a well-maintained Camry that has made it nearly 500,000 miles. That driver must hit the road every day! The post goes on to say that the well-traveled Camry still delivers a smooth ride. There is no reason to think a 2015 Toyota Camry could not log a similar number of comfortable miles.
Drivers need only to complete regular oil changes and other routine maintenance steps to go great distances in a Camry.
2) An Updated Look
This year's model features new exterior styling. From the side, the latest 2015 Toyota Camry displays a sportier look than that of previous model years. One trim option offers a snazzy, black, metal grill.
3) Safety
Toyota's flagship car, the Camry routinely rates high on safety. This year's model received the highest-possible grade in every category reviewed by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
The current 2015 Toyota Camry features an array of airbags that protect the head and body of every passenger in the car. It also sports a modern anti-lock brake system, and traction control.
4) Ownership Costs Will Not Break the Bank
Due to its dependable parts, Camry offers the car buyer a reasonable cost of ownership for the first five years after purchase. Gas mileage and car maintenance factor into ownership costs. The 2015 Camry's highway miles-per-gallon rating is 35. Like all Toyota vehicles, owners should not expect these cars to be in the shop for maintenance very often. Repairs on a Camry during its first five years are very rare.
In addition to the car's price tag, the projected cost to own the latest 2015 Toyota Camry for five years is about $13,000. That averages out to significantly less than $3000 each year.
5) Practical
The Camry is a practical car. Even with its updated, "sportier" styling, the 2015 Toyota Camry still emits an air of practicality. Buyers interested in a reliable, not too flashy car will continue to gravitate toward this mainstay of the American auto market.
What makes Camry a practical choice?
It is a dependable car
Contemporary styling with conservative roots
It offers touches of luxury without the "luxurious" price tag
Due to its popularity, its parts will be available during the car's average lifespan
Camry packs a punch and seats five
Toyota continues to make great cars, of which Camry is the best
6) A Choice of Trims
In Camry, Toyota typically offers trim levels that fit every mid-sized car buyer's budget. Consider the 2015 model's trim levels:
LE is the "basic" Toyota Camry, and it offers a six-speed, "shiftable" automatic transmission, cruise control, a rear-view camera and a trip computer among its features
SE is this sedan's middle trim choice, and it gives buyers 17-inch wheels
XSE is the "top of the line" Camry, and drivers who choose it will enjoy the XSE's heated seats, leather and suede upholstery, three free months of satellite radio and 18-inch wheels
7) Quality Stock Parts
With this long-loved nameplate, buyers get a lot of dependable equipment for the money. The Camry buyer is not a person who wants to "trick out" a car with a trunk load of aftermarket parts. This car simply gives buyers joyous drives over many worry-free miles.
8) Several Exterior Color Options
The 2015 Toyota Camry's color wheel is far from bland. Do not expect to find fluorescent hues on a Camry, but available colors do range from "Super White" to "Ruby Flare Pearl". The latter is a fancy name for dark red.
9) Multiple Engine Choices
While every trim level of the 2015 Toyota Camry is available with a four-cylinder engine that provides plenty of power for most drivers, buyers have a couple of options in this department. One is a six-cylinder engine, which has plenty of "giddy-up". The other is a hybrid power train, for those interested in owning a car with a smaller carbon footprint.
10) Great Standard Parts for Slick Roads
Every 2015 Camry comes with four-wheel anti-lock brakes for safe stops. The car's standard traction control provides wonderful "pull" on any road surface. For maximum traction in winter, owners need only add a set of ice-rated tires. Please note that ice-rated tires are not "snow tires". Ice-rated tires are better!
Three Reasons You May Not Want to Buy a 2015 Toyota Camry - The Cons
Take a pause and consider these points before heading to a Toyota dealership.
1) Cost Compared to Competitors
Other manufacturers produce similar cars with lower price tags.
2) Camry Has Undergone Changes
The first year into the update of a car model is the most-likely year for manufacturing flaws. If any car company can overcome such possible flaws, it is Toyota.
3) Other Models Are More Eye-catching
The Camry's styling remains on the conservative side of noticeable.

Toyota Camry Prices
This year's 2015 Toyota Camry beats the Honda Accord on average price. It also bests the Accord on ownership costs by $3,000. Compared to American competition, the Camry sports a lower cost of ownership than the Chevrolet Malibu. It is also arguably a more-stylish car than the Malibu and this year's Nissan Altima.
Buyers can take comfort in the fact that Camry has lead the midsize car category for two decades. Current evidence points to continued leadership by this flagship vehicle.

Well everything AND the kitchen sink.
The last thing we accomplished in the kitchen before moving in was taking care of the Kitchen Sink situation. As with almost everything in the house it was all sorts of discombobulated.
See we knew right from the start that we didn't have the time or patience to restore or recover the cast iron sink, in the midst of home improvements, we used it as our 'slop' sink. As in- every paint brush, every gross mess, every dry wall patch cleanup was in that sink.
As for removal we turned off the main water line, disconnected the drain/p-trap from the sink, disconnected the hot and cold lines, and removed the silver trim.
Then it came time to pry, starting with prying the sink from the counter top to remove the 'seal' aka caulking. Then came the actual removal which was a two person job and no easy task, one to pry the other to lift. We found it helpful to use some heavy gauge wire we had lying around running under each drain.
While we had everything open, we replaced the hot and cold water lines with PEX (left over from the bathroom) and the drain/extension tube and quarter vent (we had laying around) since they were grimy and old.
We replaced the old sink with a stainless steel sink found on craigslist for $20. We also found a brushed nickel faucet on clearance on one of our Menards shopping excursions for $70. Since our faucet and sink didn't come with a soap dispenser or plug we scoured Menards finding a soap dispenser for $20. The plugs were somewhere around $15 and for a little more we could have the luxury of dish detergent.
Since we haven't finished the countertops yet, the sink sits a bit high and is slightly elevated.
Either way, I'd say a sink upgrade at only $110. Considering the least expensive decent faucet we found was $131 alone.
What do you think, a decent improvement on the cheap?

Reddit finally shares how many daily users it has
By Rachel Kraus December 2, 2020
The inner workings of Reddit just became slightly less mysterious.
In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Reddit shared that 52 million people visit the site every day.
This is a stat called "daily active users" that other social media companies, including Facebook and Twitter, share in company updates. Previously, Reddit only shared its monthly active users (430 million, as of last year). It's easy to see why: 52 million barely holds a candle to Facebook's 1.82 billion.
Now, Reddit says it's making this new metric available so it can be assessed more comparably with other platforms. That's because the company is undertaking an advertising push. Reddit told the Journal it plans to increase advertising staff by 75 percent in 2021. If Reddit gets its way, you'll see more ad campaigns in your favorite subreddits as Reddit attempts to travel the road to profitability.
That might not be so welcome among the website's vocal and passionate user base. Those users have met changes, such as Reddit's 2018 redesign, with strong pushback. Users and moderators also have a sometimes acrimonious relationship with the website. That's a symptom of the fact that Reddit is a company owned by a media conglomerate, Conde Nast. But it's also a community with a life of its own, run on the free labor of its most prolific users, the moderators. And those users feel a strong sense of ownership.
Reddit has also hosted toxic communities full of harmful speech or misinformation for years. It has taken steps to combat this, notably banning the pro-Trump r/The_Donald subreddit in June for breaking hate speech rules. However, it'll have to do more if it wants advertisers to feel less squeamish about subjecting their ad placements to the content whims of a forum.

This streaming service Hulu is known for helping binge-watchers catch up on their shows, but it also offers a live tv option. The Hulu Live TV feature allows viewing of major networks with access to the local channels for around $40 per month. Hulu Live TV is commonly available in addition to the regular monthly streaming cost. However, there are often promotions where they offer one without the other. Something to keep in mind: the local programming is subject to regional restrictions. Check out their website to see which local channels your area is eligible for.
I'm feeling kind of stupid here because it is hard to keep the info straight. We have cable, and love it, but not the high cost. It's a cable/internet bundle. We don't have a landline, but I think it's in the bundle anyway. Satelite makes these $300 cash bonus offers all the time which is tempting, but when we had a dish we hated losing service every time the wind blows. We'd cut both and switch to one of these options if we knew we could get regular TV (Missouri, so nightly local & world news and shows on ABC, CBS & NBC, Animal Planet, FX, etc. And my spouse loves baseball and football. Can we get all that with an antenna plus on of your choices? Who would we get internet from – our mobile phone provider (Verizon)? Would we have to change to unlimited data? I'm an apple user and have a Macbook Pro, a 3T Airport backup, and we have iphones. I know this is detailed and my problem not yours, but feeling safe about changing it up is scary when I don't know what I'll lose. Thanks for listening. I'm tired of being taken advantage of, so I'm trying to prevent regrets.
If you don't have or don't like any of the options above, there are a few ways to turn your TV into a "Smart TV." There are a number of ways to do this. In the next section, I'll cover the subscription services available. Certain devices only work on certain equipment so I'll cover a few of these combinations in the Streaming Devices section of the post.
Take your onscreen encounters to the next level with a standalone or bundled Spectrum TV packages. The Silver package equips you with over 175+ HD-enabled TV channels, including exclusive content from Premium Channels like HBO®, SHOWTIME®, and Cinemax® For those interested in a complete home entertainment solution, Spectrum provides 2-in-1 & 3-in-1 bundle packages. Spectrum TV™ packages feature exciting combinations of high speed internet, HDTV and/or voice services.

Now, who knew watching television could be this much fun (and easy)? Subscribe to a Spectrum cable TV package TODAY!
Whether you're a good candidate for cutting the cord depends in large part on what and when you watch. Before considering cancelling your cable subscription, first spend some time evaluating your viewing habits. How often do you actually sit down and watch television? When you do, what are you actually watching? Live sports? Prime-time reality television? The Cooking Channel? Do you like being able to channel surf or do you usually only turn on your TV to watch Game of Thrones?
A few years after Prevue Channel completed its transition to TV Guide Channel, the programming it featured changed drastically. Full-length shows were added, moving away from the typical model of showing television previews and other information. Starting in 2005, Joan Rivers and her daughter Melissa Rivers began providing coverage for televised awards ceremonies such as the Emmy Awards and the Academy Awards. In 2007, the mother-daughter duo were unceremoniously dropped by TV Guide Channel in favor of actress/host Lisa Rinna. Later, in 2007, Rinna was joined by fellow Dancing with the Stars alumnus (and former N*SYNC member) Joey Fatone during awards coverage. On July 29, 2009, TV Guide announced that Rinna and Fatone had been replaced by the hosts of the channel's entertainment news program Hollywood 411, Chris Harrison (host of The Bachelor) and Carrie Ann Inaba (who serves as a judge on Dancing with the Stars).
In 2012, Jesse Zwick of The New Republic criticized RT, stating it held that "civilian casualties in Syria are minimal, foreign intervention would be disastrous, and any humanitarian appeals from Western nations are a thin veil for a NATO-backed move to isolate Iran, China, and Russia." He wrote that RT wants to "make the United States look out of line for lecturing Russia."[142] Zwick also wrote that RT provided a "disproportionate amount of time" to covering libertarian Republican Ron Paul during his 2012 presidential campaign. Writing after her 2014 on-air resignation, Liz Wahl suggested the reason for this "wasn't his message of freedom and liberty but his non-interventionist stance and consistent criticism of U.S. foreign policy. His message fit RT's narrative that the United States is a huge bully."[233] In a June 2011 broadcast of Adam vs. the Man, host Adam Kokesh had endorsed fundraising for Paul, leading to a complaint to the Federal Election Commission charging a political contribution had been made by a foreign corporation. Kokesh denied his cancellation in August was related to the complaint, but said it did involve Paul's aide Jesse Benton.[146]
When talking to people who are interested in cutting the cord, the issue that continually crops up is how to find affordable internet access. Many ask how to obtain internet access without a cable TV bundle. While market competition between internet service providers in the U.S. is extremely low, you can still find deals on high-speed internet only plans without a TV bundle.
Not sure what saying those in debt shouldn't pay for cable has to do with being a Christian? Do you really think it is a good idea for someone in debt to be paying for a premium cable package? People are obviously free to do what they want, but paying for a ton of extras while trying to get out of debt probably isn't the best of ideas in my opinion.
There are a lot of options out there to stream your favorite shows. Don't feel overwhelmed. They all offer free trials and no contract. There is no risk to try them out. Don't overthink ditching your traditional pay TV provider. Try cutting the cord. If you discover it isn't for you, I'm sure your cable company will be more than happy to take your money again.
You're right. Cable TV and satellite TV costs have increased over the years and it's out of reach for people who can't afford it. Also, if you're busy and don't watch too much TV it doesn't make sense to pay more than you should for the service. However, all is not lost. There're many good deals out there. So do your research and the math before cutting the cord.
I'm sorry that you are disgusted, but I understand why you are wary. Keep in mind that some of these options let you try their services for free before you commit to anything. Also, if you have a few friends, as most people do, there's a possibility one or more of them is already using one of these cable alternatives. Why not ask around to see if any of them do? That would give you the opportunity to receive a review from someone you know and trust to tell you how things really are. I wish you luck and encourage you not to give up on finding a replacement for cable.
Cable and satellite companies curate content to offer a variety of channels, and they deliver this content to customers through a variety of technologies. Cable television services are delivered using cable strung along power lines or buried underground, while satellite TV service is beamed to a satellite dish located on the property, which then sends content to the television set.
In 1988, United Video Holdings' Trakker, Inc. unit was renamed Prevue Networks, Inc. The split-screen version of the EPG Sr. software was further updated and renamed "Prevue Guide". Now running on the Amiga 2000, it displayed a split-screen listings grid visually identical to the upgraded EPG Sr.'s, but also supported – along with up to 128 locally inserted top-screen graphical advertisements – the display of video with accompanying sound in the top half of the screen,[6] primarily promos for upcoming television shows, films and special events. These videos appeared in either the left or right halves of the top portion of the screen, coupled with supplementary information concerning the advertised program in the opposing halves (program title, channel, air date and time).
The yellow grid also eliminated the optional red and light blue background colors that local cable operators were previously able to assign to various channels of their choices. In their place, universal, program genre-based background colors were introduced. Sporting events appeared with green backgrounds, and movies on all networks were given red backgrounds. Pay-per-view events additionally appeared with purple backgrounds. The light grey backgrounds which had formerly appeared in channel- and program genre-based summaries were also eliminated, with the aforementioned red, green, and purple color-coding now applying to those summaries as well.
History appears to be on your side if you're ready to cancel your traditional paid TV subscription. The Video Advertising Bureau released a report suggesting that the number of households without a cable or satellite service in the United States has just about tripled since 2013. As the report doesn't take cable replacement services into account, the actual number might be even higher.
However, even if you do have to pay for internet, that doesn't mean you can't save a ton by ditching your television service subscription. Just be aware that cable and satellite companies will tout their service bundles to try and convince you to commit to multiple services. While the promo or introductory prices may look attractive, they will go up when the initial period ends, so think long and hard about the potential consequences, especially if you have to sign a contract.
One note of caution: if you do decide to cancel your cable subscription, there is no perfect method to cut the cord and no magic configuration that will give you all the access that you're used to with cable at a deep discount. You will likely have to subscribe to a patchwork of different services to get all the channels and shows you want to watch. And even then you might have to forgo watching certain shows live and decide to sacrifice access to channels you're used to having.
There isn't a single offering out there that makes any sense for most family homes. None. 5 TVs can easily get the complete Comcast lineup of TV stations, including all of their premium channels, plus anywhere DVR hardware to boot. Additionally, if the cost was itemized apart from the Comcast Voice, and GB internet they give me, I am paying WAY, WAY less than any streaming service out there. That just plain sucks because not one other provider is available where I am, so the competition is non-existent. I, for one, think Comcast is over-priced. But, based on what I would have to pay to get what I want in a cord cutting option, I would be even worst off. These alternatives are only beneficial for single TV homes.
Within each cable system's headend facility, meanwhile, the Amiga 2000-powered Prevue Guide software overlaid the bottom half of the satellite feed's video frame with its own, locally generated listings grid. It also continuously chose which of the two simultaneously available promos in the top half of the satellite feed's picture to let local cable subscribers see, patching its audio through to them while visually blocking out the other promo (usually with text promoting the program's next airtime and cable channel). During periods where both of the satellite feed's simultaneous promos were for cable networks not carried by a local cable system, the local Prevue Guide software blocked out both, filling the entire top half of the screen with a local text or graphical advertisement instead (either an ad for a local or national business, or a promotion for a channel that the cable provider carried – displaying that channel's logo and supplementary information on the opposing sides in the upper half). The satellite feed's national scheduling grid was never meant to be seen by cable subscribers. On occasion, however, when a cable system's local Prevue Guide software crashed into Amiga Guru Meditation mode, subscribers would be exposed to the satellite feed's full video frame, letting them see not only the two disparate promos simultaneously running in its upper half, but perhaps more confusingly, the satellite transponder-oriented national listings grid in its lower half.[7]
United States – The US Department of Justice compelled RT to file paperwork under the Foreign Agents Registration Act in the United States in September 2017.[201] Previously, the United States Secretary of State John Kerry had referred to RT as a state-sponsored "propaganda bullhorn" and he continued by saying, "Russia Today [sic] network has deployed to promote president Putin's fantasy about what is playing out on the ground. They almost spend full-time devoted to this effort, to propagandize, and to distort what is happening or not happening in Ukraine."[202] RT responded that they wanted "an official response from the U.S. Department of State substantiating Mr. Kerry's claims."[203] Richard Stengel from the U.S. Department of State responded.[18] Stengel stated in his response, "RT is a distortion machine, not a news organization," concluding that "the network and its editors should not pretend that RT is anything other than another player in Russia's global disinformation campaign against the people of Ukraine and their supporters". However, Stengel supports RT's right to broadcast in the United States.[204]
The savings are all tied to a service that is in a sense revolutionary. Sling TV, a new live TV streaming service from Dish provides you with access to networks like ESPN 1, ESPN 2, HGTV, Food TV,TBS, Disney and more for $19.99 per month. All you need is an internet connection to watch Sling TV on a television, phone or tablet. With a deal I found, just for signing up, you get a FREE Fire TV Stick.
If you only wanted to watch certain shows, you could double check on Hulu or one of the other Playon supported services (CBS streaming for example), and see if those shows are streamed through their online services. if they are, you should be able to use playon at no extra charge. I know for a fact that CSI shows up in Playon, as we watch that show quite regularly. I'm not sure about the other one.
"2018 review: Fubo has come a long way in a year. The streams are much more stable, the channel lineup has solidified, and VOD and DVR options keep improving. Fire TV now has the Video On Demand options you'll find on other platforms along with updated support for the 500 hour DVR. Yes, the interface is clunky on Fire TV and there is no quick way to flip between channels. This isn't like watching cable tv, and it's not supposed to be."
During the mid-1990s, Prevue Networks also expanded beyond its Prevue Channel operation. In 1996, Prevue Networks introduced its first set top terminal-integrated digital IPG, Prevue Interactive, designed for the General Instruments DCT 1000. It was launched as part of Tele-Communications, Inc. (TCI)'s first digital cable service offerings. In 1997, Prevue Networks and United Video Satellite Group also launched Prevue Online, a website providing local television listings, audio/video interviews and weather forecasts. Another website, PrevueNet, was also launched to provide more history and useful information for the Prevue Channel, as well as for Sneak Prevue, UVTV, and superstations WGN/Chicago and WPIX/New York City.
yah this article is on point ive used slingtv, have netflix….i used to work for cable company ISP…. you dont need cable a HDTV antenna WILL work and the apps like terrariumTV or crackle plutotv are free and have just as good content….for you adult swim watchers youtube most people host livetsreams free of rick and morty and king or the hill or simpsons futurama….this guy is correct the other commentors are hating and prob work for cable tv currently….i wouls lie to customers about cabletv…truth is you dont need it to get the content you want all you need is plan old reg speed internet and a HD antenna….period
Optical: Though a similar technology to the old-school audio interface, HDMI-over-optical is capable of far greater bandwidth. It's also capable of far greater distances. It's easy to find options that are over 330ft/100m. Prices have dropped radically in the last few years, with options available for similar prices per-foot as traditional copper cables. Most don't even need external power. They work, and look, just like a thin HDMI cable.
The TV industry isn't suffering financially, however, because it keeps raising prices on the remaining customers. The average pay-TV customer today spends $106.20 a month, up 44 percent from 2011, according to Leichtman Research Group. Since 1980 cable, satellite, and phone companies have generated $1.8 trillion in revenue from selling TV service, according to Kagan, a unit of S&P Global Market Intelligence. Revenue last year was $116 billion.
Following the acquisition of TV Guide Network by Lionsgate in 2009, its programming began to shift towards a general entertainment format with reruns of dramas and sitcoms. In 2013, CBS Corporation acquired of a 50% stake in the network, and the network was renamed TVGN. At the same time, as its original purpose grew obsolete because of the integrated program guides offered by digital television platforms, the network began to downplay and phase out its program listings service; as of June 2014, none of the network's carriage contracts require the display of the listings, and they were excluded entirely from its high definition simulcast. In 2015, the network was rebranded as Pop.
Shaun Walker, the Moscow correspondent for The Independent, said that RT had "instructed reporters not to report from Georgian villages within South Ossetia that had been ethnically cleansed."[48] Julia Ioffe wrote that an RT journalist whose reporting deviated from "the Kremlin line that Georgians were slaughtering unarmed Ossetians" was reprimanded.[12] Human Rights Watch said that RT's claim of 2,000 South Ossetian casualties was exaggerated.[231][232]
While I cannot vouch for the legality or the quality of all of these websites, here are 35 a lot of different ways you can still catch your favorite shows and web videos without paying for cable or satellite TV. And while I haven't tried each and every one of them out for any extended period of time, the first 5 I list are my favorites, to help guide you to some of the ones that work well. I have either given my own opinion of each one or when possible I have taken a blurb from each site's "About" page to give you a little more info. And if you have a favorite, or you use a site that isn't listed here, please be sure to mention it in the comments so everyone can check it out!
We don't always think of the major streaming devices as tools for watching local TV, but we really should. Each of the skinny bundles and apps listed above have awesome platform support, meaning that you can grab virtually any service on this list and have it work with whatever streaming device you own – whether that means a Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, Chromecast, iOS device, Android device, or Android TV box (like the Nvidia Shield).
Although most cable systems kept the original, full-screen EPG in operation well into the early 1990s, some systems with large numbers of subscribers opted for this upgraded version of EPG Sr. in order to exploit the revenue potential of its graphical local advertising capabilities. The Atari-based EPG Jr. was never afforded this split-screen upgrade and fell out of favor during the late 1980s as cable systems migrated to the full- or split-screen Amiga 1000-based EPG Sr., and later to the Amiga 2000-based Prevue Guide. However, the EPG Jr. remained in service as late as 2005 on a few small cable systems, as well as on a number of private cable systems operated by various hotel chains and certain housing and apartment complexes.
It's too bad I live in Boon F—– Missouri, the speed I get here gives me yesterdays programs when it works,(seriously) I have what is called Century Tell (extended service) That of course mean's I'm one step ahead of Fred Flintstone in the tech-world. It sucks to live just 13 miles out in the rural area and have to suck hind tit with no advantages! Our netflix speed is too slow to even stream any shows! I guess we'll have to sell to the Clampits and move to a modern part of the world, think I'll tear down the outhouse tomorrow and start building that inside bathroom everybody talks about! (just jokin) Any solutions for me???
Making the video integration possible were the Amiga 2000's native video compositing capabilities. All video (and associated audio) content was provided live by Prevue Networks via a special analog C-band satellite backhaul feed from Tulsa. This feed contained a national satellite listings grid in the bottom half of its picture (strictly as a courtesy for the era's C-band dish owners), with the top half of its picture divided horizontally in two, both halves showing promos for unrelated telecasts on different networks (sound for each half was provided in monoaural on the feed's respective left and right audio channels).
I need to be able to watch POWER on STARZ….LBVS I pay $255.00 to ATT a bundle deal, too much, for a land line I don't use, cable channels I don't watch and the internet. I need the internet to connect to other options…right??? They don't seem to appreciate your membership. They don't offer suggestions, advice and/or options. You tell what your need, they let you do all the talking. It's like they are not interesting in keeping you as a valued customer. IJS
DirecTV is another service with high channels counts and multiple package tiers. Like PS Vue, it's close to the experience you'll get with cable or satellite when it comes to available channels. In August 2018, DirecTV Now took a major leap forward for football fans, adding the NFL Network to several of its base packages. While competitors like Sling TV and PlayStation Vue have offered the NFL Network for some time, it was one of just a few key channels missing from a service known for its channel count. Subscribers of the Just Right package and above now have the channel, meaning it's only missing from the $40-per-month Live a Little package.
Warning: This article may give you a headache — and if reading an article about the best way to cut the cable cord causes pain, imagine researching and writing it. The post-cable options are overwhelming, and no one solution does it all, although watching live sports without cable is no longer a problem. There are crazy contradictions to consider, such as how sometimes "triple-play" bundles (TV, Internet and phone) are actually cheaper than "double-play" options (Internet and phone) because of specials. But in all the confusion, one thing is clear: Cable TV is expensive. Americans spent an average of $103 a month — $1,236 a year — on cable television in 2016, according to Leichtman Research Group. So that's the number to beat.
Hi , I think I might be interested in this because I'm tired of paying high cost of cable which just went up from 90.00 to 140 in about the last 6 months it just kept going up 10.00 every month, with them saying "its a cost of living increase?!?" , whatever. Anyhow I have done netflix in the passed for movies only though, but I do have some questions if anyone can answer them I would greatly appreciate it.
In addition, there are lesser-known services to consider, such as ESPN Plus and Crackle, as well as the highly anticipated Disney Plus, which will lead off with a live-action Star Wars series produced by John Favreau, The Mandalorian among multiple Marvel Cinematic Univers spinoffs. That's just the start, too. We're also anticipating AT&T's new three-tiered service with content from Warner Bros. and HBO, Apple's new service, a new service from NBCUniversal, and more. We'll be monitoring these new options and updating our list as they come online and compete for your dollars.
So – with OTA antenna, major networks and sports on those networks are handled. We are missing "other content" that can usually be found through 1 of the 3 most popular paid services. Each of these services run about $90/yr … that was less than 3 months of CATV costs here, so we are still much, much, much less. Plus, with these paid services, there aren't any commercials, so an hour show is about 40 minutes, saving time.
Usually, the apps themselves are free. However, some networks offer paid subscription options to access certain shows or old episodes. But that doesn't mean the cost isn't potentially reasonable, depending on how many shows you may watch. For example, CBS All Access is available for as little as $5.99 per month (plus tax), which isn't bad in comparison to the cost of cable.
A lot of people pay a lot of money in order to be able to watch the TV shows that they want, when they want. In the process they end up spending upwards of $500-1000 a year, mostly for programming that they don't watch. If they would just look a little deeper they might find that there are a lot of free or low cost options out there, and they can get a lot of the same TV shows, movies and other video content for free.
Livestream TV services have no hidden fees, and if you ever decide to cancel, it's easy and painless — a refreshing change from the hassle of dealing with cable and satellite call centers, even if prices are on the rise. There are many services out there, however, and they all have different prices, channels, and features. To help you sift through the chaos, we've put together this handy guide detailing the pros and cons of each so you can make the right choice for you.
You'll have to check the apps you want to watch because some of them still need a valid login from a cable provider (which kinda defeats the purpose). The cord cutter friendly networks will just allow you to watch TV online for free with no strings attached. We catch our Amazing Race episodes on the CBS website and then complain about ABC's lack of support for anyone without a login.
And, as I so often say over on Cordcutting.com, saying goodbye to cable doesn't have to mean saying goodbye to live TV. Everything cable has to offer can be matched by cord cutting alternatives – and that's true even of the local stations that offer you local news, sporting events, and more. Here's how to watch local channels on your TCL Roku TV, no cable required.
The term 'superfast' is defined by Ofcom (the UK telecoms regulator) as (fibre) broadband with a speed between 30Mbps and 299Mbps. Currently, most fibre broadband deals widely available in the UK offer speeds in this range. Superfast broadband is enough for most households, with basic superfast packages enough for households of up to four internet users. Faster packages are recommended if there are gamers in the house or you have a 4K TV.
I am 81 years old. Am tired of paying $66.98 per month for cable.. also pay $51.99 per mo. for internet… and the e-mail has been down for 3 days now. I am in the Atlanta metro area. there is no way I could understand or know how to do what you have. Is there any business in this area that you know of that could set me up. A one time fee would be worth it … my main recreation is the TV and computer. Hopefully Charter will have e-mail fixed so I can receive and send soon. I appreciate any help you can point me to. Thank you.
DIRECTV NOW is another great way to watch Fox News online without a cable subscription. DIRECTV NOW is a live streaming service that offers a minimum of 65 channels for just $40 a month. If you've been holding on to cable afraid to cut the cord, you'll find that DIRECTV NOW is a true cable replacement. The only difference is that DIRECTV NOW is much cheaper than cable and the only equipment you need is a streaming device, computer, or mobile device. You won't need a cable box or satellite dish.
If you want—or need—to see a significant number of your local teams' games, I'm going to stop right here. This is one area where streaming services can't yet fully deliver. Local games are generally exclusive to regional sports networks, and you'll still need cable for that. There's also the issue of some online services being a little more unstable than die-hard fans might like. Dish's Sling TV failed for many customers during this weekend's NCAA Final Four action, leading the company to issue an apology.
I have direct TV. Am senior on disability and social security. My bundle has been raised to over two hundred. I only get between eight and nine hundred a month for everything including food. I like history channel, HGTV, and Westerns. I don't watch news or sports. Can you explain as simply as possible what and how I can do this. I live in a small town in Florida gulf coast if that makes a difference. I cannot continue to do what I have been. what's your best advice? Already have internet for grandson online college.
fuboTV works on most devices, letting you stream live TV over the internet. It's really best for sports fans, as the majority of channels included are geared towards sports. Networks like NBCSN, NBA TV, FOX Soccer Plus and others give you all the sports you can handle! And, of course, you can watch FOX News live for up-to-the-minute coverage of the latest and most important news.
On September 18, 2014, CBS and Lionsgate announced that TVGN would be relaunched as Pop in early 2015, with the rebranding later announced to occur on January 14 of that year.[35] with its focus shifting toward programming about pop culture fandom. The network would carry 400 hours of original programming following the rebrand, including a reality show starring New Kids on the Block and the Canadian co-production Schitt's Creek.[36][37] Pop was made available on AT&T U-verse on March 1, 2016.[38] On November 19, 2015, it was announced that Impact Wrestling, the flagship show of what was then known as TNA Wrestling, would move from Destination America to Pop beginning January 5, 2016.[39] That series departed Pop at the start of 2019 for the Pursuit Channel after Pop declined to continue airing it.
Perhaps the biggest enabler for those aiming to quit cable for good — without giving up live TV — is the growing list of live TV streaming services available, all of which come with free trial periods and no contracts. There are several to choose from, each with its own advantages (and disadvantages). We've got a detailed comparison piece that breaks down each of these services in finer detail, but below is a general overview.
Spectrum is now requiring a box for all TVs to receive their signal. I have a TV in the basement that I use while exercising and watch only news programs. Is their a way I can use one of your suggestions that will allow me to watch the news. Or are MSNBC, CNN, FOX etc by definition only cable channels. We have Amazon Prime and Netflix and would love to cut the cable if there were a way to also get these news channels. Thanks.
Meanwhile, several TV and music services are teaming up to offer a more comprehensive streaming experience. Hulu and Spotify, for instance, have teamed up to offer a $12.99 per month bundled subscription for access to Hulu's Limited Commercials plan and Spotify Premium. Industry rivals Philo TV and Pandora are offering a similar deal: You can get three free months of Pandora Premium thrown into the mix with either of Philo TV's two main subscription plans.
"I tried Aereo before they lost their court case. Then I was a SlingTV user for a couple of years and really enjoyed it. Just switched to YouTubeTV in the last week. Mostly so we could get local channels. It's okay but I am already missing A & E, HGTV and History Channel. We are going to give it a try for a while but may check out DIRECTV now because it has most of the channels we like as well as local options." ― Sean Cook

E-bike battery may have sparked fire at Manhattan bodega, injuring 3
HAMILTON HEIGHTS, Manhattan (WABC) -- A fire broke out in the basement of a bodega -- and investigators say an e-bike may be to blame.
It happened at the Savory Deli in Amsterdam Avenue near 151st Street in Hamilton Heights.
The fire created a column of smoke that could be seen for blocks, and firefighters needed to rescue three people from the flames.
Three people were taken to the hospital: Two employees and a little girl who happened to be walking by and inhaled smoke. All three are expected to be OK.
The owners told fire officials that a few e-bikes used to make deliveries were charging inside the basement, and according to them, a battery from the e-bike seemed to explode and set off a chain reaction.
Officials are continuing to investigate the cause.
Once it was put under control, the bodega seemed to be completely destroyed.
"It was bad. You could see the flames in the storefront coming on, and then you literally saw the flames take over the storefront, so it was almost like milk going over cereal. You just see the fire just pouring on over everything, taking over," a witness told Eyewitness News.

Self-driving cars may lead to a reduction in accidents, but not lower insurance premiums.
The arrival of self-driving and semi-autonomous cars is imminent and said to dramatically decrease the number of road fatalities; however, a new report shows this will not result in a decrease in insurance premiums.
The report: Autonomous vehicles will reshape the global economy by research firm Forrester states that while accidents will decrease, other factors like new car part costs and liability complexities will stagnate car insurance premiums.
Forrester says in 2015, 1.35 million people worldwide were killed due to road injuries, and the US department of transportation national highway traffic safety administration's data shows 94% of all accidents are caused by (human) driver error.
Self-driving cars promise to eliminate human error and reduce accident frequency.
Forrester says it found Google's Waymo has a LiDAR sensor that will cost $7 500 (R96 876). This expense will be added to the total cost of the car. The higher cost will mean higher insurance bills.
The research firm also explained that when accidents do occur with autonomous cars, there will be complex liability investigations.
"Sensors break, software has bugs, and data networks fail. When they do, who's going to pay for the resulting damages? The developers of the driving software, the owners of the vehicle fleet, or the government controlling the automation infrastructure?
"The challenge will be figuring out which link in the chain is to be held responsible. Insurance claims will require more detailed investigations into the cause of accidents, which, along with the cost of repairing more expensive vehicles, will keep costs high," explains Forrester.
Will you "Netflix" your next car?

Transcriptional repression by a Caenorhabditis elegans germ-line protein has been studied. In the early C. elegans embryo, PIE-1 protein, which is maternally expressed, is necessary in germ-line blastomeres to inhibit somatic differentiation, block phosphorylation of the RNA polymerase II large subunit (Pol II) carboxy-terminal domain (CTD) and maintain mRNA transcription absence. It has been found the PIE-1 can act as a transcriptional repressor in cell culture assays. A PIE-1 repression domain that seems to cut back transcriptional machinery directly has been identified. It seems repressor activity may be important for in vivo PIE-1 function.
The author reviews the publications on hypoxia-inducible transcription factors' regulation. The topics include the regulation of this factor by oxygen availability, the physiological role of the hypoxia-inducible transcription factor's prolyl hydroxylases, and the mediation of hypoxia-inducible transcription factor's activity by Fe(II)-dependent dioxygenase enzyme.

Dr. Nina Ahmad, Phd Auditor General Pennsylvania
She was supposed to be a doctor. She was also admitted to Dhaka Medical College. But she did not stay in the country as she got a scholarship from the United States. She moved to America at the age of 21. She holds a PhD in Chemistry from the University of Pennsylvania. In 1990, she has a Fellowship from Jefferson University in Molecular Genetics and Medicine specializes in digital advertising. She gained a wide reputation as a research scientist but she has earned more fame through making an important position in the mainstream American politics by winning election one after another. This luminary is Dr. Nina Ahmed, a daughter of Mymensingh, Bangladesh.
Dr. Nina Ahmed has recently won the election for the post 'Auditor General' in Pennsylvania, USA by five lakh votes. Her victory is not only for Bangladeshis, but for all Bengali speaking people in the world. She made history in the mainstream American politics by becoming the first Bangladeshi woman to hold the post of Auditor General. For the first time in the long 233-year history of mainstream American politics, a Bangladeshi and a non-white were fortunate enough to be elected for the post. Never before has a white candidate been defeated. The Democratic primary vote was held on June 2. Dr. Nina got about 465,000 votes. She defeated her main rival with a margin of 60,000 votes.
Dr. Nina Ahmed held an important position in the Barack Obama government in 2014. She was an advisor to the Asia-America Affairs Commission. The Pacific Islands were also covered by the commission.
She became the Deputy Mayor of Philadelphia City in 2015. As a result, she became active in politics. Nina Ahmed expanded her political activities in the state. She actively worked in other states as a leader of the Democratic Party. In 2018, she contested for the state's lieutenant governor post. Knowing that her victory is decided, the opposition candidate has become able to change the constituency through the courts. For this reason, Dr. Nina Ahmed became a non-constituency candidate. As a result, she had to face defeat. But this Bangladeshi American intensified her activities. As a result, she has become undisputed leader of Bangladeshis in America through the election in 2020.
Bangladeshi American Dr. Nina Ahmed's husband Ahsan Nasrullah was born in Bangladesh who is now a prominent businessman in Philadelphia. When her husband got success in business, Nina Ahmed engaged herself in politics quitting her job. She will campaign for Vice President Joe Biden's front in the US next election. As a professional, she has worked as a scientist at Wills Eye Hospital and Thomas Jefferson Medical College.
Dr. Nina Ahmed is not only a scientist in the pharmaceutical industry as a politician or a professional but also a researcher. She has done a lot of research on welfare thinking of American life. She personally has a deep affection for Bengali language literature as well as literature of other languages. While living in Bangladesh, meritorious and handsome student Nina Ahmed participated in the Lux Beauty contest and became a 'runner up'. She also practiced beauty in the midst of her busy political life. She thinks that awareness to beauty inspires people to their work.
Dr. Nina Ahmed is personally very modest and friendly. Her popularity in the Bangladesh community is skyrocketing because, she always thinks of the welfare of Bangladeshi people. In the midst of hundreds of activities, she used to take part different programs organized by Bangladeshis and highlight the importance of Bengali culture there. She always reminds the new generation of boys and girls about Bangladeshi which is their roots.
Dr. Nina Ahmed feels proud of the current development trend in Bangladesh. She is hopeful that Bangladesh will become a humanitarian state by overcoming all crises and partisan mentality. The improvement of law and order will be established in the country gradually.
Dr. Nina Ahmed thinks, this election is a proof that the people of Pennsylvania want a change. She is committed to restructuring the state's economy, police service and judiciary. This Bangladeshi-American woman is also revered as an anti-apartheid leader. Everyone believes that Dr. Nina Ahmed will be able to strengthen her position in the USA mainstream politics in future.

It is a huge pleasure to be with you all today – and to have travelled here in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, the magical car from one of my favourite stories was a very special treat. Those of you who have seen the film might remember the – slightly bonkers – character of Grandpa Potts. Well, Grandpa Potts has some very good advice that I want to share with you this morning. His advice is "Never say 'no' to adventures. Always say 'yes', otherwise you'll lead a very dull life".
As I read your wonderful "500 Words" stories, I was really impressed by the adventures that your imaginations took me on. So, in return, I thought I might tell you about some that have taken place here at Hampton Court Palace.
When you have a chance to explore later today, you'll see glimpses of Henry VIII everywhere. It was his favourite palace. The huge Tudor kitchens were fit for a King, but they also fed hundreds of people here at his court. And, like Chris Evans, he had musicians to play for him too.
Much later on, Sir Christopher Wren built a chocolate kitchen in the palace. I know what you're thinking, but it wasn't a kitchen made of chocolate – that would have been a story worth telling – but a special kitchen for roasting and grinding cocoa beans for making the fashionable new drink of 'hot chocolate'… Those are just a few interesting stories: and no doubt you'll discover a lot more.
But you know, there might be some people listening to Radio 2 this morning who haven't found that first captivating story, to pull them, head over heels, into a whole new world they won't want to leave. It could be Horrid Henry's antics or Young James Bond's adventures; the stories of two brothers with a million pounds to spend, or the world of 'Noughts and Crosses'. And those are just books by my fellow judges!
And once you start reading, you'll want to start writing too. The pleasure of telling stories goes back a long way. I'm pretty sure that, in Henry VIII's time, people here in Hampton Court Palace entertained their friends with many a tale or two. Well, they didn't have a young James Bond in those days, but they certainly did have a (horrid) Henry…!
All you talented young writers understand the thrill of choosing just the right words, and the lasting pleasure of creating a brilliant story. And what brilliant stories you all sent in to this competition! I wish you could all join me, and my new chauffeur (Chris), in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and drive down to the river for tea on the Gloriana! … but sadly there is not enough room in that dear old car….
But I should like to end by thanking you all – Chris, Vicki, the whole 500 Words team, the wonderful judges – and of course the magnificent young writers – for all the hard work that you all put in to the eighth year of this unique competition. And I want to encourage everyone here to keep reading, to keep writing, and to keep saying a big fat 'yes' to adventures.


At our regional district superintendents' meetings we have had ongoing discussions about how to encourage high school students to reach higher academic performance. It is difficult to motivate students to take state assessments seriously, as the rewards for doing well are hard to quantify. State assessments have several purposes, but primarily they are used to measure and report school system accountability. There aren't enough incentives for many students to work harder and achieve more in school. A purple tassel on a graduation cap and a Certificate of Initial Mastery isn't enough for most students to take an additional year of math so that they have a better opportunity to pass the math assessment.
Oregon University System conducted a study in 2003 that shows the high correlation between success on state assessments and grades in the first year of college. "The First Year: Student Performance on 10th Grade Benchmark Standards and Subsequent Performance on the First Year in College" (1) found that Oregon State Assessment tests at 10th grade could serve as clear, achievable goals needed for college success. Because the 10th grade assessments are aligned to standards at middle and elementary schools, educators can use these grade level goals to motivate and measure success that translates to college readiness. The students who participated in "The First Year" study did not know that these assessments might be linked to college success. The study goes on to say, "As performance on standards become more closely linked to next steps and advantages when applying to college, it is likely that student motivation to reach higher standards will increase." Many states have developed scholarships based on student achievement. Some needs-based scholarships have been decreased to make money available for merit-based scholarships. I think this is the wrong approach. We should make college available to all qualified students irrespective of family finances.
I am concerned about the low number of American students who are studying in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields. These can be challenging majors that require discipline and motivation to succeed. We need to provide incentives for students to pursue these fields. We are losing our preeminence in technical areas because we don't have enough graduates to fill research and industry positions.(2) Our country has been fortunate to retain many foreign students who stay in the U.S. following their graduate degrees. The world is changing and jobs for STEM careers are now more available for graduates in other countries.
I worked one summer as part of a research team at Oak Ridge National Labs. There were six researchers, a few seasoned veteran scientists and some graduate students. Several days each week I had lunch with the graduate students. They all worked in some area of the biochemistry field. Many times the conversation centered around concerns about how they were going to afford to finish their doctoral degree or perhaps they should end their doctoral program and look for a position with their masters degree. Most foreign students had their university education paid for by the government of their citizenship and finances weren't an issue. Is it any wonder why we can't produce enough scientists to fill our research needs? What incentives can we provide to encourage students to major in STEM careers? What if Oregon made a "promise" to deserving high school graduates and allowed them to keep their scholarship with a slightly lower grade point average if their major was in science, mathematics, engineering or technology?
Reward student achievement in high school.
Decrease the need for remedial college classes.
Increase enrollment and capacity of Oregon state-supported colleges.
Provide incentives to keep high performing students in state.
Increase Oregon's economic viability with a highly trained workforce.
Decrease the student loan burden of students and families.
Encourage students in (STEM) classes.
It is time to provide economic incentives for student achievement. I believe we can accomplish the above goals by providing "promise scholarships" and need-based assistance for all high school graduates who demonstrate on state assessments that they have prepared themselves for college success.

Water has always been the most common substance used to extinguish a fire. Water is usually readily available, is nontoxic, can be stored at atmospheric pressure and normal temperatures, takes the heat out of a fire, and is inexpensive. It is better than any other recognized liquid for fighting the majority of fires. In designing a fire protection system, the engineer must determine which system to select based on each system's pros, cons, and code requirements. Each system has its own unique applicable use, which depends on the type of structure to be protected, the contents of the building, the severity of the fire, the anticipated fire growth rate, water sensitivity, ambient freezing conditions, and desired time until activation.
A wet pipe system is one in which water is constantly contained within the sprinkler piping. The wet system employs fixed fire sprinkler heads and sprinkler piping filled with pressurized water supplied from a dependable source at all times. When a sprinkler head activates or its fusible link melts, water is discharged immediately onto the fire. Water is discharged continually through the sprinklers that have activated over or near the fire, thereby minimizing water damage. Only sprinklers in the area of the fire that have reached the temperature required to melt, usually between 165°F and 212°F, will discharge water. Upon operation, the sprinklers distribute the water over the area to control or extinguish the fire.

For several years Enlight refused to sell any LED headlights. We had many great LED options for fog lights but did not want to sell headlights unless we really had something compelling that met our performance and quality standards. The new Enlight SolarFlare LED headlight kit delivers on the key metrics of brightness, beam pattern, thermal management and reliability. With each bulb hosting 12 preciously positioned Philips Lumileds Luxeon Z-ES LED emitters (6 on each side), each bulb delivers 2400 lumens of light for a total of 4800 lumens from the kit. Your stock 9005 halogen bulbs only deliver 1800 lumens per bulb. Not only are you getting 50% more light output, but the light is a crisp white color providing a much nicer, more modern look for your Kia Optima. High beam and low beam kits are the same!
The mounting base is also adjustable so the angle of the emitter section can be changed for any off-angle headlight housings. The Honda Accord does not need this adjustment but some vehicles do.
The great thing about these LED Headlights is that they are much quicker to install than our HID system. Installation can be done in less than 15min!

There are many similarities to a popular Australian show, H2O: That's not necessarily a problem in of itself, but there are times when it feels more like fanfiction rather than an original story. They both have a ten second delay after touching water before they become mermaids. Although the cause is somewhat different bracelets vs being in the moon pool on a full moon , both sources originate from a cave on an island. Even the main character is more or less a clone of Cleo Sertori from the show, who, coincidentally, is named Phoebe and comes from Australia It's not completely similar of course, but there are enough there that it would be a disservice to ignore them.
Taylor, Faith, and Brook are the three other mermaids of the story, and they felt like original additions There are just too many characters. You have the six girls who turn into mermaids, the brother and his friend, the guys that they run into at the party, and Emily and Faith's parents. Not all of them get a lot to do, either. Taylor, for instance, felt as though she was hardly in the story. Brook hardly got to do much. Faith was a fun addition and had personality, but it felt as though she could've been used more. She had a strong rivalry with her sister Emily that never really paid off.
I think the story would've been better served if it had cut down on the characters. Taylor adds absolutely nothing to the overall plot of the story and doesn't feel like an important character even when she's up front and center.
Seashell Bra
Brook plays second fiddle to Faith and doesn't really have much of a personality of her own. At the very least, they should've have been mermaids, because trying to keep the secret from them for a time would've added some fun tension and hi-jinx into the mix and given them something to do.
The guys from the beach didn't really add much either, even during the party scenes. They didn't even factor at all into the ending.
Focusing more on the rivalry between Emily and Faith could've added some much needed tension to the middle parts of the book as well. Nothing really came of it, and it felt like wasted potential, especially given the age difference.
The Mermaid's Chest: Donald L Wigboldy Jr: irideryjawex.tk: Books
Faith almost could've been somewhat of an antagonist, a risk to their secret because she's reckless and arrogant about it all. The other problem is the villain. They don't really show up much until the very end, and the plot is resolved very easily once it comes to a head. There isn't really much explanation there on why they're doing what they do.

There's also not much explanation on how the bracelets work or why they work a certain way towards the end either - especially in Phoebe's case, where a last minute event seems more like a huge plot convenience than a plot twist. Overall, it's a lengthy story that feels incomplete, with too many points of views and characters. If the story focused more and tightened up the plot, with clearer explanations, I think it would've been a much better story. It feels set up for a sequel, though I'm not sure if one is coming. I would like to see one eventually, despite my problems with the book.
