Jim Rossman | Tribune News Service Cord cutting used to refer to abandoning pay TV and putting up an antenna to watch free over-the-air TV. Then cord cutting expanded to include streaming services like Netflix and Hulu and individual streaming sources. Related Articles Gift ideas for people planning their next trip Lights and decor, réveillon meals make Christmastime special in New Orleans Having a paw-some holiday: Keeping pets safe, happy and included Fort Morgan Christmas Parade draws large crowd Community unites for Morgan County Golden Stars Now we also include streaming bundles, like YouTube TV or Hulu Live or DirecTV Stream. These bundled services mimic cable and satellite service, in that they have hundreds of channels. The ease or complexity of the cord cutting experience depends on how you have things set up. Let’s take a look at some gift options for your favorite cord cutter. As far as I know DirecTV is the only streaming bundle service that offers its own hardware. The Gemini Air is a small dongle that plugs into an HDMI port on your TV. It is paired with a remote control to allow for easy navigation. If you were an AT&T U-Verse TV customer, the Gemini Air/DirecTV Stream experience will be very familiar. The Gemini Air is a rarity in that it has number buttons. DirecTV Stream has the option of turning on channel numbers in the guide. I’ve used DirecTV Stream with my Roku TV and with the Gemini Air and the Air makes navigating the huge list of channels much easier. The Gemini Air runs the Google operating system, so you can see and use all your other streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, Max and more. You can also load apps and games from the Google Play store. The Gemini Air connects to your home’s Wi-Fi network, and it can stream 4K content to your TV. The remote control has a microphone so you can use your voice to search or interact with Hey Google’s voice assistant. DirecTV Stream customers can get a free Gemini Air from AT&T with their service. Additional units are available for $120. There are lots of smart TV brands. Some run on the Roku operating system, some run Google TV and some use their own brand of smart TV apps. If you’d like to add Google TV to any set, you can get Google’s new TV Streamer (4K) for just $99 from store.google.com. The small device connects to your TV’s HDMI port. It also can connect to your home’s internet via Wi-Fi or wired Ethernet connection. The Google TV interface is not tied to any specific streaming service. You can use any streaming service or app that’s available on the Google Play store. It features a simple remote with voice control and the Google TV Streamer is also a hub and controller for Matter and Thread home devices that work with Google’s home ecosystem. If you use an over-the-air antenna for watching your free local channels, I’m betting you’d like the option to record those channels. TiVo used to be the best/easiest way to record OTA TV, but they’ve discontinued their OTA recorders. A great alternative is from TabloTV, which is a small box that you connect to your TV antenna. The TabloTV does not directly connect to your TV. Instead it connects to your home’s Wi-Fi, and the antenna signal is wirelessly sent to any TV or compatible device in your home. Your TV picks up the signal through a free app, which is compatible with smart TV brands like Samsung, LG, Google TV, Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV or Android TV. This method is extremely handy if you don’t want to be bothered running an antenna wire from your attic or roof all the way to your TV. It’s also great if you want to use an indoor antenna, but your TV is not situated in a room that faces the broadcast towers. You can place the antenna and TabloTV where you get the best reception. The TabloTV comes in two models – with either two or four tuners. This means you can record or watch two or four shows at a time. TabloTV has onboard storage to record up to 50 hours of shows, but you can plug in any USB hard drive and expand to record thousands of hours of programming. You can also bundle a TabloTV with an OTA antenna if you like, or you can use your own antenna. Two things to know, there are no ongoing subscription costs for guide data, and there is no streaming service integration. You will need another way to add in streaming services like Netflix and Hulu. TabloTV models start at $99.95 for the two tuner model at tablotv.com. The four-tuner model is $139.95, but they may be on sale during the holidays. ©2024 Tribune Content Agency, LLC.

Streamline Health® To Report Fiscal Third Quarter 2024 Financial PerformanceLucintel Forecasts the Global 6G Market to Reach $59.3 billion by 2030resumed on Sunday, 24 November, with some viewers noticing a particularly NSFW recurrence on display. In the Tangled Worlds episode, the breeding habits of both Bengal tigers and purple frogs were respectfully documented in the first 20 minutes. Always with a sense of amusement, fans reacting on social media site X (formerly Twitter) were quick to highlight the continuous coverage of animal intimacy. Narrating an expanse of the tiger's territory, Attenborough explained: "It's the dry season. Between the trees, meadows of elephant grass provide cover for the most intimate of behaviours. In the last 10 years, the number of tigers in Nepal has doubled. "There are so many here that remarkably, pairs are mating within just 100 metres of each other." The corresponding action finished with the striped predators going their separate ways, as males do not engage in any parental duties. Further along, deep in the forests of India's Kerala state, the programme featured the plight of the purple frog, which emerge once every 12 months from their underground lair to breed. "This female has a belly full of eggs and on her back a newly acquired male partner," said Attenborough. "He grips her spine, making deep indentations in her flesh. They have timed their emergence to coincide with the monsoon rains. Somehow in the darkness they must find a tree in which to lay their eggs and then get back underground before dawn." Writing on X, : "Crap [can] we even show tiger mating this early in the day? There's children watching, Dave!" "Lots of rumpy [pumpy] in this episode this week!" . mass maiting — Havelock🌴🌻🍺👨🍳🎬🍷🔪🏎🪴 (@ihnewman) The problem with wildlife shows like Is that they are just filled with copulation and Death !! — paul j harrison (@pauharri) Tigers.

Attenborough revealed that Malaysian farmers have begun to encourage the enormous creatures onto their land; "Here the elephants are welcome. When old trees are felled, the herd can provide a waste disposal service."

Let’s be honest for a second: Sure, President-elect Donald Trump ’s decision to nominate his daughter Ivanka’s father-in-law, Charles Kushner, to be ambassador to France has raised eyebrows . But that decision almost certainly won’t have any notable impact on your life. Welcome to the presidential inauguration waiting game: Gaming out what Trump will actually do when he takes office, how his choices for top White House and Cabinet jobs will translate into policy and how much and how quickly all of this will affect you, if at all. Most of this is educated guesswork, based on things like Trump’s recent public utterances and his first-term record. It hinges on dynamics like the prospects of Senate confirmations and, if a given candidate is rebuffed, how far the incoming president will go to install them (hint: Get used to the title “acting.”) We take the position that there are no unimportant presidential decisions or nominations. But Trump nominating Rep. Elise Stefanik as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, while setting the stage for a confrontational relationship with that organization, is unlikely to mean much to your daily life. Not only are these two policy areas that Trump obviously cares about, they also don’t require congressional action. The president has wide latitude to raise tariffs and launch the vastest deportation plan in American history – both of which he has labeled Day One priorities . So when he says, as he did recently, that he plans to impose a 25% tariff on all goods from Canada and Mexico, people sit up and take notice. (His stated aim was to coerce greater cooperation from them on blocking immigration and fentanyl flows into the United States.) Economists broadly agree that consumers bear the brunt of the financial burden tied to tariffs. The duties are not paid by the country being targeted but by the importer, which regularly passes along those costs. You’d feel the pinch at the gas pump and the grocery store . But will he do it? Trump had a phone call with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum and hosted Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at Mar-a-Lago. After the former, Trump declared victory on immigration across the southern border, but Sheinbaum pointedly noted that the president had extracted no new concessions . Trump and Trudeau both described their talks as “productive” but did not provide details. Does this signal Trumpian resolve to use tariffs? Or did this serve as a steam-valve of sorts that makes them less likely? We had previously noted that the incoming president would claim credit for existing policies, and that appears to be what has happened. Trump’s mass deportation plan (the details are sketchy) would also almost certainly have immediate economic and social impacts – and could put blue localities and the red federal government on an unprecedented collision course. Many American economic sectors depend on immigrants in the country legally and illegally – think agriculture , building maintenance and groundskeeping, construction and food prep. The five states with the largest populations are California, Texas, Florida, New York and New Jersey. Even if Trump prioritizes deporting gang members and criminals at first, the prospects for a mass roundup are sure to have an effect on the millions of non-violent immigrants here illegally – not to mention those here legally who are afraid of being caught up in such an unprecedented dragnet. And what about “mixed” households that include both people here illegally and people here legally (including children with U.S. citizenship)? Trump’s pick to lead the FBI, Kash Patel, is a MAGA diehard who has promised to target domestic political critics of the president-elect and go after journalists. This has enormous ramifications for rule of law and democracy in America. ( There’s scant evidence for Trump’s claim that President Joe Biden used the Justice Department to pursue him.) The president-elect’s vow to fire “woke generals” ( something he can absolutely do , by the way) could have repercussions for military recruitment. Trump’s policies towards Ukraine and Russia, towards Israel and the Middle East as a whole, towards climate, towards public health ? Very important for the future of the country and the planet. Improbable plans to slash federal spending (his advisers have endorsed $2 trillion cuts that are larger than annual discretionary spending )? I would bet that pushing out federal workers and rolling back (or simply refusing to enforce) regulations are more likely, and that could affect millions of Americans (and U.S. businesses) in the near term. But in each case, questions abound: How many Americans will tune these in? Will they see an impact on their daily lives? How will that shape their response? This is not to minimize any aspect of this. It’s to highlight the relationship between policy and politics.
Cabinet ministers have been warned they must find more savings in their departments as the Chancellor said “every pound” of Government spending will be scrutinised in a major budget review. Secretaries of State are being told that any outgoings which are not contributing towards one of Labour’s “priorities” must be cut as Rachel Reeves vows to wield “an iron fist against waste.” In letters sent by Chief Secretary to the Treasury Darren Jones, departments will be told to brace for “difficult” spending decisions in order to restore trust in the Government’s handling of the public finances. Every pound of departmental spending will be face a “line-by-line review” involving external finance experts from banks and think tanks in order to ensure it represents value for money, the Treasury said. The Chancellor will on Tuesday launch the next round of Government spending, and is expected to warn departments that they “cannot operate in a business-as-usual way when reviewing their budgets for the coming years”. She will insist that areas focused on Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s “plan for change”, which includes targets to improve living standards across the country and build 1.5 million homes, must be prioritised. Ms Reeves said: “By totally rewiring how the Government spends money we will be able to deliver our plan for change and focus on what matters for working people. “The previous government allowed millions of pounds of taxpayers’ money to go to waste on poor value for money projects. We will not tolerate it; I said I would have an iron grip on the public finances and that means taking an iron fist against waste. “By reforming our public services, we will ensure they are up to scratch for modern day demands, saving money and delivering better services for people across the country. That’s why we will inspect every pound of Government spend, so that it goes to the right places and we put an end to all waste.” Under the Treasury’s plans, departments will ensure budgets are scrutinised by “challenge panels” of external experts including former senior management of Lloyd’s Banking Group, Barclays Bank and the Co-operative Group. These panels, which will also involve think tanks, academics and the private sector, will advise on which spending “is or isn’t necessary”, the ministry said. The Treasury said work has already begun, with an evaluation of the £6.5 million spent on a scheme that placed social workers in schools finding “no evidence of positive impact on social care outcomes”. “Departments will be advised that where spending is not contributing to a priority, it should be stopped,” it said. “Although some of these decisions will be difficult, the Chancellor is clear that the public must have trust in the Government that it is rooting out waste and that their taxes are being spent on their priorities.” Ms Reeves had already announced efficiency and productivity savings of 2% across departments in her autumn budget as she seeks to put the public finances on a firmer footing. In a speech in east London , Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster Pat McFadden hinted at a further squeeze. “At the Budget the Chancellor demanded efficiency and productivity savings of 2% across departments – and there will be more to come,” he said. “As we launch the next phase of the spending review at its heart must be reform of the state in order to do a better job for the public.”MOSCOW — Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday apologized to his Azerbaijani counterpart for what he called a "tragic incident" following the crash of an Azerbaijani airliner in Kazakhstan that killed 38 people, but stopped short of acknowledging that Moscow was responsible. Putin's apology came as allegations mounted that Russian air defenses shot down the plane while attempting to deflect a Ukrainian drone strike near Grozny, the regional capital of the Russian republic of Chechnya. Russian President Vladimir Putin chairs a Security Council meeting via videoconference Saturday at the Kremlin in Moscow, Russia. An official Kremlin statement issued Saturday said that air defense systems were firing near Grozny airport as the airliner "repeatedly" attempted to land there on Wednesday. It did not explicitly say one of these hit the plane. The statement said Putin apologized to Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev "for the fact that the tragic incident occurred in Russian airspace." The readout said Russia has launched a criminal probe into the incident, and Azerbaijani state prosecutors have arrived in Grozny to participate. The Kremlin also said that "relevant services" from Russia, Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan are jointly investigating the crash site near the city of Aktau in Kazakhstan. The plane was flying from Azerbaijan's capital, Baku, to Grozny when it turned toward Kazakhstan, hundreds of miles across the Caspian Sea from its intended destination, and crashed while attempting to land. There were 29 survivors. According to a readout of the call provided by Aliyev's press office, the Azerbaijani president told Putin that the plane was subject to "external physical and technical interference," though he also stopped short of blaming Russian air defenses. Part of an Azerbaijan Airlines plane lies on the ground Thursday near the airport of Aktau, Kazakhstan. Aliyev noted the plane had holes in its fuselage and the occupants sustained injuries "due to foreign particles penetrating the cabin mid-flight." He said that a team of international experts began a probe of the incident at Azerbaijan's initiative, but provided no details. Earlier this week, the Azerbaijani Prosecutor General's office confirmed that investigators from Azerbaijan are working in Grozny. On Friday, a U.S. official and an Azerbaijani minister made separate statements blaming the crash on an external weapon, echoing those made by aviation experts who blamed the crash on Russian air defense systems responding to a Ukrainian attack. U.S. President Joe Biden, responding Saturday to a reporter asking whether he thought Putin should take responsibility for the crash, said: "Apparently he did but I haven't spoken to him." Biden made the comment after leaving church in St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands. Passengers and crew members who survived the crash told Azerbaijani media they heard loud noises on the aircraft as it circled over Grozny. Dmitry Yadrov, head of Russia's civil aviation authority Rosaviatsia, said Friday that as the plane was preparing to land in Grozny in deep fog, Ukrainian drones were targeting the city, prompting authorities to close the area to air traffic. Yadrov said after the captain made two unsuccessful attempts to land, he was offered other airports but decided to fly to Aktau. People attend a funeral Saturday for Mahammadali Eganov, who died in the Azerbaijan Airlines Embraer 190 crash near the Kazakhstan's airport of Aktau at the age of 13, in Baku, Azerbaijan. Earlier this past week, Rosaviatsia cited unspecified early evidence as showing that a bird strike led to an emergency on board. In the days following the crash, Azerbaijan Airlines blamed "physical and technical interference" and announced the suspension of flights to several Russian airports. It didn't say where the interference came from or provide any further details. If proven that the plane crashed after being hit by Russian fire, it would be the second deadly civil aviation accident linked to fighting in Ukraine. Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 was downed with a Russian surface-to-air missile, killing all 298 people aboard, as it flew over the area in eastern Ukraine controlled by Moscow-backed separatists in 2014. Russia denied responsibility but a Dutch court in 2022 convicted two Russians and a pro-Russia Ukrainian man for their role in downing the plane with an air defense system brought into Ukraine from a Russian military base. The grave of Mahammadali Eganov, 13, who died in the Azerbaijan Airlines Embraer 190 crash near the Kazakhstan's Aktau airport, is seen Saturday in Baku, Azerbaijan. Following Wednesday's suspension of flights from Baku to Grozny and nearby Makhachkala, Azerbaijan Airlines announced Friday that it would also halt service to eight more Russian cities. Several other airlines made similar announcements since the crash. Kazakhstan's Qazaq Air on Friday said it would stop flying from Astana to the Russian city of Yekaterinburg in the Ural Mountains for a month. Turkmenistan Airlines, the Central Asian country's flagship carrier, on Saturday halted flights to Moscow for at least a month, citing safety concerns. Earlier this past week, Israel's El Al carrier suspended service from Tel Aviv to the Russian capital, citing "developments in Russia's airspace."

However, some state workers failed to return to their jobs and a United Nations official said the country’s public sector had come “to a complete and abrupt halt”. Meanwhile, streams of refugees crossed back into Syria from neighbouring countries, hoping for a more peaceful future and looking for relatives who disappeared during Mr Assad’s brutal rule. There were already signs of the difficulties ahead for the rebel alliance now in control of much of the country. The alliance is led by a former senior al-Qaida militant, who severed ties with the extremist group years ago and has promised representative government and religious tolerance. The rebel command said they would not tell women how to dress. “It is strictly forbidden to interfere with women’s dress or impose any request related to their clothing or appearance, including requests for modesty,” the command said in a statement on social media. Nearly two days after rebels entered the capital, some key government services had shut down after state workers ignored calls to go back to their jobs, the UN official said, causing issues at airports and borders and slowing the flow of humanitarian aid. Rebel leader Ahmad al-Sharaa, who was known by his nom de guerre Abu Mohammed al-Golani, also met with Prime Minister Mohammad Ghazi Jalali for the first time. Mr Jalali stayed in Syria when Mr Assad fled and has sought to project normalcy since. “We are working so that the transitional period is quick and smooth,” he told Sky News Arabia TV on Monday, saying the security situation had already improved from the day before. At the court of Justice in Damascus, which was stormed by the rebels to free detainees, Judge Khitam Haddad, an aide to the justice minister in the outgoing government, said that judges were ready to resume work quickly. “We want to give everyone their rights,” Mr Haddad said outside the courthouse. “We want to build a new Syria and to keep the work, but with new methods.” But a UN official said some government services had been paralysed as worried state employees stayed at home. The public sector “has just come to a complete and abrupt halt,” said Adam Abdelmoula, UN resident and humanitarian co-ordinator for Syria, noting, for example, that an aid flight carrying urgently needed medical supplies had been put on hold after aviation employees abandoned their jobs. “This is a country that has had one government for 53 years and then suddenly all of those who have been demonised by the public media are now in charge in the nation’s capital,” Mr Abdelmoula told The Associated Press. “I think it will take a couple of days and a lot of assurance on the part of the armed groups for these people to return to work again.” In a video shared on a rebel messaging channel, Mr al-Sharaa said: “You will see there are skills” among the rebels. The Kremlin said Russia has granted political asylum to Mr Assad, a decision made by President Vladimir Putin. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov declined to comment on Mr Assad’s specific whereabouts and said Mr Putin did not plan to meet with him. Damascus was quiet Monday, with life slowly returning to normal, though most shops and public institutions were closed. In public squares, some people were still celebrating. Civilian traffic resumed, but there was no public transport. Long lines formed in front of bakeries and other food stores. There was little sign of any security presence though in some areas, small groups of armed men were stationed in the streets.New York repeals century old law against adulterySoccer-Fiorentina’s Bove to have removable defibrillator fitted
