That means all you need is an antenna to start grabbing these network TV signals to display on your television. Now I know what you're thinking. If you were born before 1985, you probably have vivid memories of static all over the screen as mom or dad adjust the antenna. Digital doesn't work that way. If your antenna can pick up the channel, then you get the picture as clear as it can be. Otherwise, you don't get the picture.
Lastly, Boxee's selection of streaming apps is huge, but the quantity is more impressive than the quality. Hulu and Amazon are both missing from its list, along with a lot of other heavy hitters that devices like the Roku have available (note that you can get Hulu via an unofficial plugin to one of the other apps, but it isn't perfect). If your main goal is to stream content from internet networks like Revision3, TWiT, TED, and others of that nature, the Boxee will suit you fine. Otherwise, it may seem like it's missing some of the more important stuff. However, it does make good use of what it has with its "universal search" feature, similar to what I love about Google TV: if you search for a TV show, it'll show you the different places you can stream it. The universal search feature doesn't support Netflix like Google TV's does, but it's still pretty handy to have, especially when you have so many streaming channels available to you.
On October 5, 1999, Gemstar International Group Ltd. purchased United Video Satellite Group.[16] Finally, throughout December of that year on cable systems nationwide, a new, modernized yellow grid began replacing the navy blue grid that had presented channel listings to viewers for the past six years. The old navy blue grid was completely phased out by early January 2000. With the arrival of TV Guide Channel's yellow grid, all remaining vestiges of Prevue Channel had been eliminated: its Amiga-based hardware infrastructure was decommissioned, and purpose-built, Windows NT/2000 PCs employing custom-designed graphics/sound expansion cards were installed. With this new infrastructure additionally came the ability for local cable companies to perform silent remote administration of all their installations' locally customizable features, making live, on-screen guide maintenance interruptions by cable system technicians a thing of the past.
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.
If you have a TV in your house -- that is, a screen that incorporates a tuner -- you're part-way to cutting the cord already. An affordable indoor antenna hooked up to your TV will let you watch free TV over-the-air from any channel you receive in your local broadcast area. Antennas cost as little as $10; see our comparison of indoor antennas here.
Currently, you can try DIRECTV NOW free for 7 days. I find the best option to be their "Live a Little" package. It is priced at $40 per month and contains Fox News, CNN, Nickelodeon, MSNBC, Hallmark Channel, ESPN, Disney, HGTV, USA, ID, TNT, Food, TBS, History, Discovery, Disney Jr, TV Land, Nick Jr, AMC, FX, FXX, Bravo, Lifetime, A&E, Animal Planet, BBC America, Bloomberg, BET, Cartoon Network, CMT, CNBC, Comedy Central, Disney XD, E!, ESPN2, Fox Business, FS1, Galavision, HLN, MTV, MTV2, Paramount Network, Syfy, TCM, TLC, Univision, VH1, and more
Because Vue allows you to watch on up to 5 devices at the same time, the whole family can watch exactly what they want to. This is why we recommend Vue to families and large households with roommates. You can stream FOX News and the rest of the channels you love on streaming players like your PS3 or PS4 consoles, Amazon Fire TV, Roku (Vue is a great way to watch live TV on Roku), Apple TV, or Chromecast. They also offer iOS and Android apps, but there are some limitations with those. Your PlayStation Vue account is tied to your home network, so streaming while on the go is restricted. Even with the mobile apps, what you can watch away from home will be limited.

Hardware question. We are renters and can't cut holes or run wires. TV is upstairs (old TV but we want to get a 46″ flat panel on a black Friday special). Computer using comcast is downstairs. We currently have the $12 cable upstairs. Don't want it any longer. How do I get the "network" to work without drilling holes and running wires. Do I have to get a wireless transmitter for my computer and a wireless receiver for my new TV in order to stream from the playon software to my TV? What external ports do I need to make sure to have on my new TV? Thank You So Much!!!!
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.
PlayStation Vue ($39.99/mo. - $74.99/mo.): Don't let the name throw you. You don't need to own a PlayStation to subscribe to Vue, which is accessible through most of the major set-top boxes. You do, however, need to pay a premium. As with Hulu and Sling, Vue's ability to deliver live local broadcast is dependent on where you live, but Sony does offer a lot of local TV in a lot of different markets, and even where it doesn't, it allows subscribers to see many of the major networks' shows on-demand. Vue also provides some simple add-on options, a huge amount of DVR cloud storage, and a lot of portability between devices.
It's these little things, plus the channel offerings, that make PlayStation Vue feel more like a traditional TV service (even though it's not). You also get free DVR service with PlayStation Vue and can store an unlimited number shows for up to a month before they get automatically deleted. We really like the recording features that PlayStation Vue offers, but the downside is that you can only record one show at a time.
For many people, the main reason to subscribe to cable or satellite is sports. (The huge licensing fees that sports leagues command, by the way, are a big reason you can't watch sports without such a subscription—and why subscription fees are so high.) Watching live sports without cable used to be easier, but more and more sports programming has shifted from OTA broadcast to cable. For example, of 38 college-football bowl games in the 2015–2016 season, only four aired on OTA networks. Even the NCAA basketball tournament has moved its semifinal games onto cable networks. For the sports fan, watching all the important games without cable has become impossible.
General idea: Crunchyroll is Netflix for anime. And it's seriously awesome. With a premium account, you'll get access to over 900 anime shows (for reference, Netflix only has 50 titles). Find old favorites like One Piece, new releases straight from Japan like Megalobox, as well as a wide selection of manga and even a number of live-action J-dramas. If you're an anime newbie, check out Mashable's full rundown on Crunchyroll and our resident anime expert's suggestions on the best shows to watch.
In September 2012, U.K. broadcast regulator Ofcom found that two Libyan dispatches broadcast by RT's Lizzie Phelan in a year earlier were in breach of its code on accuracy and impartiality. The following November, RT was again found in breach of impartiality rules in relation to its coverage of the Syrian conflict.[234] An August 2013 story concerning unverified reports of the killing of 450 Kurdish civilians near the Turkey-Syria border was also found to have breached Ofcom's rules.[235] That December, Ofcom found RT in breach of its standards in relation to the impartiality of a documentary entitled "Syrian Diary" broadcast the previous March.[236] Speaking in 2014 former RT reporter Sara Firth said that there had previously been examples of senior editorial interference, and that she had been pulled out of Syria after some "very heated discussions" about the channel's coverage.[22]
Sometimes those contracts don't work out. A major case in point came in May, when Sinclair Broadcasting Group, a major owner of local stations nationwide, pulled its stations from Sony's PlayStation Vue service. Vue lost a good chunk of channels, moving from second-most in August of 2017 to second-to-last now, beating only Sling. Even Fubo TV has more local channels than Vue.
Comcast Availability: The Xfinity service area is within the states of Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin and West Virginia.
The crown jewel driving this premium streaming service is Star Trek: Discovery (which isn't even that good a Star Trek show), plus other originals like The Good Fight, which can only be seen via All Access, at least in the US (ST:D is on Netflix in other countries). You can also add Showtime programming to watch in the All Access interface for $14.99 per month.
TiVo – The granddaddy of DVRs, a TiVo device is great for streaming programs from Netflix, Blockbuster, and Amazon Video On Demand. It connects to your home's TV antenna so you can watch free network programming, and the HD TiVo units will even pick up your local high-definition channels. The drawback is that on top of the price of the device ($200 and up), you'll need a monthly $12 subscription to access TiVo's best features.
Once you have a TV that is "digital ready", all you need to do is install a TV antenna. I installed the Mohu Sky 60 outdoor antenna on my roof and now I receive all the major local broadcast networks. Mohu also makes quality indoor antennas like The Mohu Curve and Mohu Leaf. If you are interested in purchasing a Mohu antenna, check my Mohu promo page for a big discount.
If these services offer the channels you want and the limitations won't be an issue, they are more affordable than cable or satellite; you're not locked into a long contract, either, and you can watch TV at home or on the road. Right now, we can't say if any of these services is clearly better than the others, as channel offerings, prices, and apps are continuously changing. If you think a cable package might be for you, it's a good idea to look at all the options and try a few out with any early subscriber discount in consecutive months. Once you've found the best fit for your viewing habits, you can sign up at the full price—and still be saving money compared to a traditional cable package.
Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime are the best-known subscription-based services, and for good reason. They have excellent selections of TV shows and movies, both modern and classic, and the services are quite inexpensive. Each one costs between $8 and $12 per month, depending on what kind of options you need. Even if you subscribe to all three, this will represent a substantial price break over cable.
One of the advantages of unplugging from the physical cable sticking out of a socket in your home is that you're free to enjoy the entertainment you're paying for on any screen you happen to have handy, be it a laptop, tablet or mobile phone. Many streaming services, like Netflix and Hulu, keep track of what you're watching and will let you pause a show or movie on one device, then pick it up later on another device.
Video is watched on the desktop via the included app, or is sent over the home network and played full screen through a connected device. In our case that means the Xbox 360, Nexus tablet, Fire TV, Samsung Galaxy Smartphone or Chromecast connected to our 50″ Plasma TV. We can control playback via a smartphone or tablet via the PlayOn app. We can watch our shows on whatever devices we want!
If you want a power upgrade from the ClearStream 2V, there's the ClearStream 4. The mantra with this antenna is simple: bigger is better. Because of that, the range is bumped up to 70 miles and the antenna is 4K-ready out of the box. Unfortunately, that will make setup a bit harder because of the bigger size, but given its improved performance over its counterpart, that definitely makes up for it.
Prime ($8.99/mo., $119/yr.): If you shop a lot on Amazon, it's already worth it to pay the hundred bucks a year (or $12.99/mo.) for Prime, which includes the streaming Prime Video service, the Prime Music service, some free Kindle books and free two-day shipping on many products. If you're not big on yearly commitments, you can still get just the video service for $8.99 a month.
Recently, I tried out (and returned) so many that I worked my way down to this one. It was far from my first choice. When I got it, my hopes weren't high. I generally prefer plain black headsets. Having the large "sharkbite" components on the back of the earbuds seemed unnecessary and ostentatious. I'm not a fan of how the earbud tips are forced ... full review
When I cut the cord last year, it was so refreshing! Anyone that is looking to do it, just needs to rip off the band-aid, because it will sting a little bit. I missed not having the option to DVR my shows, but the end result was not watching as many. Right now, I have an antenna (which I bought for about $60), and I pay monthly for CBS All Access ($9.99/month, no commercials). Let's just say I am a fan of All Access. If anyone is looking for shows to watch on CBS – try Salvation, Elementary, or NCIS:LA for prime-time shows, and Big Brother, Survivor, and Amazing Race for reality TV.
One last point on what to watch: If you really want to pay only for what you want to watch and nothing else, don't forget that iTunes, Amazon, Vudu, Fandango Now, Cinema Now, Google Play and others will gladly sell or rent you movies and episodes of TV series to watch on your computer or TV. If you're thinking of your various subscriptions as an analogue to cable, then think of this option as akin to the old-fashioned "pay per view." The fees can add up if you watch a lot, but these vendors have some free videos, too.
Cable-replacement streaming services work exactly the same as having cable — live channels presented in real time — except they come streaming over the Internet rather than via an analog wire. The upside is that you don't have to give up the channels that you love. Sling TV carries multiple ESPN stations, plus Cartoon Network, TBS, Bloomberg, CNN, History and dozens of others. PlayStation Vue offers SyFy, Spike, USA, VH1, Fox News, Nickelodeon and more. You can also record programs to watch later on PS Vue, just like you would with a cable DVR box.
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.
The downside is that on-demand access is limited, and the various packages can get confusing (particularly on Sling TV). Other limitations, such as the number of different devices a household can use simultaneously, are also frustrating and hard to understand. And you will need a good high-speed internet connection to stream TV with either option, so factor that into your budget.
If you're looking to stream from more than a few services, this is the box to get. It's got nearly everything, and you can keep your menu as minimal or as packed as you want. The other services like games are nice, too. If you want to play local files too, you can do so with Plex, but don't expect an insanely full-featured media center out of it. All in all, if streaming is your top priority, get a Roku.
I'll keep my eyes peeled on you guys and your progress, and try to follow your lead! By the way you have all been most informative,and Peter, thanks for starting the subject you truly have helped my frame of mind. I know I threw in a bit of southern humor to keep you all entertained but buy God I am going to overcome this so-called generational gap and get in there with you all. I won't be a tech. but perhaps I'll learn how to better utilize my equipment…
Works with my new 80" Sony! Great mount, even the installers were impressed with it. They told me they wished the store would carry this brand. The only issue I have now, I didn't watch how the installers mounted the TV to the mount so now I can't paint the wall behind it... Making wife angry that I can't get the TV down to paint the wall behind it (guess I should have done it before the TV went up!)... Oh well...
I'm always open to 'The New'… of times… I've also been checking out 'building our own antenna'. I'm on SSD, older and no help at all. Here we have 9 major (incorporated, non-county) cities. In 2016 they completely cut off the 'required (by law) access', to "local feeds and channels". One of those nine "incorporated" cities, mine being "that (incorporated) city", cut off completely. The required law (in part) was, and is, based on the right to the service(s) for 'emergency' purposes and NEWS information… I still don't know how (for sure) they get away with it. I'm gonna keep on checking in.
Another way to watch FOX News streaming live is PlayStation Vue, a product of Sony. You can stream FOX News and dozens of other pay TV networks for one monthly fee. FOX News and the rest of the FOX family of networks are all available on the basic package with options depending on your location. Vue starts at $45 per month. No contract is required, so you can cancel PlayStation Vue at any time.
We're sure you already have Netflix for binge-watching movies and some TV shows, but that's obviously not a replacement for cable and live television. The streaming service market has grown exponentially over the past few years with too many plans and channel options to pick from, and you're probably panicking and wondering which streaming service is right for you.
Prime Video is a nice hybrid of an all-you-can-eat streaming service like Netflix, plus a video-on-demand store, with plenty of original content to go with it. It's "free" to anyone with a Prime account, which is best known for giving customers free two-day shipping—but you can also get Prime Video for $8.99 a month as a standalone service, with none of the other Amazon extras.
(Side note: you can also, of course, buy or rent digital movies or TV show episodes from services like Amazon, Google Play, and iTunes. That's a bit removed from "watching TV without cable" in the sense that we mean it in this article, but it's worth noting that you can use purchase and rental apps with the same streaming devices – see Part II for those – that work with the streaming apps we're about to talk about here in Part I. Owning digital copies and subscribing to streaming services go together like peanut butter and jelly: switching between a movie you own on Amazon and a show you're streaming on Netflix is much more convenient than switching between cable an a Blu-Ray disc. You won't even have to get off your couch!)
Because neither version of the EPG software was capable of silent remote administration for its locally customizable features, cable company employees were required to visit their headend facilities in order to make all necessary adjustments to the software in person. Consequently, EPG channel viewers would often see its otherwise continuous listings interrupted without warning each time a cable company technician brought up its administrative menus to adjust settings, view diagnostics information, or hunt-and-peck new local text advertisements into the menus' built-in text editor.[5]
When it was established in 2005, ANO TV-Novosti invested $30 million in start-up costs to establish RT,[11] with a budget of $30 million for its first year of operation. Half of the network's budget came from the Russian government; the other half came from pro-Kremlin commercial banks at the government's request.[41] Its annual budget increased from approximately $80 million in 2007 to $380 million in 2011, but was reduced to $300 million in 2012.[96][2][97] Russian President Vladimir Putin prohibited the reduction of funding for RT on 30 October 2012.[98]
LM&M- Sometimes its about $$$ only and not so much what people can and cannot watch. My mom's cable package is $139 and ours is $69 – way above what a lot of people can afford, and if it comes down to food vs. TV, I would pick food as well. However, we are not in that situation, but rather just considering what our options are – We watch only a few shows a week, I cannot catch Sox games unless they are playing the Yankees (espn), and I don't mind watching a show the next day…I work from home by myself. (thankfully) When they get all the bugs figured out, internet TV is definitely the future though…
Vladimir Putin visited the new RT broadcasting centre in June 2013 and stated "When we designed this project back in 2005 we intended introducing another strong player on the international scene, a player that wouldn't just provide an unbiased coverage of the events in Russia but also try, let me stress, I mean – try to break the Anglo-Saxon monopoly on the global information streams. ... We wanted to bring an absolutely independent news channel to the news arena. Certainly the channel is funded by the government, so it cannot help but reflect the Russian government's official position on the events in our country and in the rest of the world one way or another. But I'd like to underline again that we never intended this channel, RT, as any kind of apologetics for the Russian political line, whether domestic or foreign."[79][80]
Local major network affiliates have their own transmitters, so it's likely that your area gets channels like ABC, CBS, Fox, and NBC free over the air – and that's not to mention other common over-the-air channels like PBS and Univision. How many channels are available and how big of an antenna you'll need to pick them up will vary by region, but getting the answers to these questions is pretty simple. Check out our free over-the-air TV explainer and our complete guide to choosing an antenna and getting free HDTV over the air for more important information. There's a reason that this is the classic solution to the problem of how to watch local channels without cable or satellite.
However, please note that I'm not advocating doing ALL of these! If you did, you'd wind up spending more than you were paying for cable. That would be dumb. We currently subscribe to Sling TV, Netflix, and Amazon Prime. We are switching over to DIRECTV NOW starting next month because we have one AT&T phone and can use the data from that phone to watch for free.
Perhaps no one deserves more credit for threatening the old TV business model than Netflix Chief Executive Officer Reed Hastings. As the driving force behind the world's largest streaming video service, with about 130 million subscribers, he's taught consumers to expect an abundance of old and new shows and movies, without the irritation of commercial interruptions, for just $8 a month.

After 3 hits in the first inning including a Bryce Harper homerun, the Nationals bats went quiet and they were no-hit for the next 7 innings. But the Nats woke up in the 10th, scoring 6 runs on 5 hits, giving the Nats a 8-2 win in New York on Monday Night. With the win the Nats picked up a game on the Braves and are now up 4.5 games.
Jordan Zimmermann was on track to be the 4th straight Nats starter to go 7 innings, but after throwing under 90 pitches, Davey Johnson took him out after 6. Zim gave up only 1 run and 4 hits in his shortened stint. The weather may have been a factor in the decision as it was wet and rainy out there, but the decision turned out to be questionable as the Mets would tie the game in the following inning.
Drew Storen was called upon to pitch the 7th inning, but after facing and gettin out only one batter, Davey made another interesting move. The manager opted to go lefty/lefty to the Mets Ike Davis who proceeded to jack the game tying homer down the right field line.
Davey seems very unsure about his current bullpen situation. He has already said he can't put his finger on what roles certain guys should play. Taking out a former top closer after 1 batter just because of a matchup seemed an odd choice, and the Nats ended up paying.
The game went into extra innings and the Nats offense awoke. Bryce Harper hit a bases loaded game-tying single in the 10th which was followed by a bases clearing double. Morse capped off the inning with a 2 run shot and the Nats went on to win 8-2...a very odd score for a game in extras.
Corey Brown, called up after Dezzy went down, saw his first action of the night in the outfield for half an inning.
Another one with the Mets on Tuesday night.

Бєлопавличі (Bjelopavlići) — долина річки Зета, смуга родючої низовини в Чорногорії.

Опис
Простягається вздовж річки Зети, будучи ширшою в нижньому кінці річки, аж до впадіння в річку Морача біля Подгориці. Клан Білопавличі походить з цієї долини. Регіон розташований навколо Даниловград.

Долина річки Зета історично була густо заселена, оскільки родючі низовини рідкісні в гірській Чорногорії.
Друга чимала рівнина Чорногорії — рівнина Зета — була названа на честь річки Зета, хоча сама річка Зета через неї не протікає.
Рівнина Белопавлічі забезпечила коридор для дорожнього та залізничного сполучення між двома найбільшими містами Чорногорії, Подгориця та Нікшич. Найбільшим поселенням на рівнині є місто Даниловград.
Даниловград — місто, назване на честь його засновника князя Данила, розташовується на березі річки Зета в центрі долини Белопавлічі. У Даниловграді є безліч історичних пам'яток, а в околицях міста — природні пам'ятки: гірські вершини і мармурові скелі.

Події у долині Бєлопавличі
Назва пішла від імені втікача від османів Білого Павла, який оселився на березі річки Зета. Білопавлічі вперше згадуються в документі Рагузана, що датується 1411 р. Коли вони разом з Малоншичі, Озрінічі та Мазничі розграбували корабель Республіки Рагуза. За деякими джерелами, це албанське плем'я. У 1496 році османи завоювали більшу частину території вздовж річки Зети та навколишню територію під назвою «Пагорби», до якої входили Васоєвічі, Белопавлічі, Піпери, Кучі, Братоножичі, Морачани та Ровчани. Територія входила до Санджака Скутарі.
У 1596 році на рівнині Білопавлічі спалахнуло повстання, якезгодом поширилося на міста Дробняці, Нікшич, Піва та Гацко. Його було придушено через відсутність зовнішньої підтримки.
У 1612 р. Султан послав сина Мехмета-паші до Подгориці для придушення повстань. Паша пробув у Подгориці три місяці, а потім вирішив спустошити Белопавлічі, взявши 80 рабів і жінок, невільників, підпаливши село та підпалюючи тварин. У 1613 році османи розпочали кампанію проти повстанських племен Чорногорії. Вони домовилися з повстанцями за 1000 дукатів та 12 рабів. Венеціанський історик Маріано Болізза у травні 1614 року зафіксував, що область перебуває під командуванням османської армії в Подгориця. Було 800 озброєних білопавлівців, якими командували Ненека Латинович та Братіч Томашевич. Пізніше того ж року Белопавлічі, Кучі, Піпери та Келменд "надіслали листа королям Іспанії та Франції, в яких заявили, що вони не залежать від османського правління і не платили данини імперії. У 1819 році відбиття османської навали з Албанії під час Русько-турецької війни (1828—1829) призвело до визнання суверенітету Чорногорії.

Sunil Gavaskar Hails Team India as a Side With "No Weaknesses"
Jun 6, 2021 - 02:13
India legend, Sunil Gavaskar has come up with a big statement, praising the Indian cricket team, saying that the current crop is the best ever produced in the history of Indian cricket. India have finished as the No. 1-ranked Test side for five years in a row, while registering consecutive Test series wins in Australia and also topping the World Test Championships Standings.
'Comparisons are always a little bit difficult but I think this is probably the finest Indian team that we have seen. It's such a well-balanced team. It's got champion batsmen, it's got champion fast bowlers, fabulous spinners. They've got a very good wicketkeeper. A young wicketkeeper who is going to dominate world cricket for a long, long time,' Gavaskar revealed on the Analyst Show in YouTube.
Indian cricket, over the last few decades have produced some quality sides the 1983 World Cup which Gavaskar himself was a part of while the team in 1985 which won the World Championship of Cricket is considered equally great. MS Dhoni led India to a World Cup win in 2011, a unit which the great Sachin Tendulkar called the best he's been a part of during his over two-decade long career.
However, the former India captain has his reason to justify that the current Indian team is the best ever. ' I believe that from what I have seen, from 1960 onwards, this has got to be the best Indian team ever. For the simple reason that it's so balanced. There is no weakness at all. You could say at the top, or here and there, but I don't think there is any weakness in this Indian team,' Gavaskar told.

King Creosote, Roddy Hart and Dougie MacLean to play Paisley's Spree festival.
A host of big-name music and comedy acts are on their way to Paisley this October, as part of the annual Spree festival.
The third edition of the Renfrewshire Council-run event – on between 10 and 18 October – will see the return of the iconic Spiegeltent to the town centre to host the bulk of the shows.
The centrepiece of the ten-day festival will be a one-off collaboration between King Creosote, Roddy Hart and the Lonesome Fire, and the Royal Scottish National Orchestra on Friday 17 October.
The gig –in the stunning setting of Paisley Abbey – will see both acts play sets backed by the orchestra, and follows a rapturously-received show at the same venue during last year's festival with the RSNO, Admiral Fallow and The Twilight Sad.
The Spiegeltent will host Scottish folk legend Dougie MacLean – fresh from performing his best-known song Caledonia for a global TV audience of 1 billion during the closing ceremony of the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games.
The festival will close with a Scottish Album of the Year Showcase on Saturday 18 October headlined by award winners and Glaswegian hip-hop stars Young Fathers, plus fellow nominees Kid Canaveral and Hector Bizerk.
The bill is also big on laughs, with 2010 Edinburgh Comedy Award winner Russell Kane bringing his new show Smallness to Paisley Town Hall on Wednesday 15 October.
Other big-name comics set to appear include Scotland's very own 'half-man half-Xbox' Daniel Sloss in Paisley Arts Centre, and Spree festival favourite Craig Hill in the Spiegeltent.
There will also be two editions of the regular Buddy Good Laugh comedy nights run by Dead Sheep Comedy during The Spree, headlined by TV regulars Jo Caulfield and Mark Nelson.
Other musical highlights include indie-rockers Withered Hand and Merrymouth (fronted by ex-Ocean Colour Scene singer Simon Fowler), as well as veteran songwriter Rab Noakes, who was last in town when he produced a sold-out tribute show to Paisley's Gerry Rafferty this year.
There will also be some award-winning traditional music thanks to Ross Ainslie and Jarlath Henderson with Salthouse, as well as the return of the Danny Kyle Open Stage made famous by Celtic Connections.
The Spree will also feature plenty for children during the October break too, with Kids' Comedy events featuring comics including Billy Kirkwood and Raymond Mearns, as well as free author events for kids in Paisley Central Library.
To see the full bill – which also includes film, theatre, community and local history events and even a hypnotist – visit www.thespree.co.uk from Thursday 28 January.
The festival will run alongside the opening weekend of the Brick Wonders Lego exhibition at Paisley Museum, after its predecessor Brick City broke venue attendance records earlier this year.
Brick Wonders will run until February and feature the natural ancient and modern marvels of the world, created by Lego artist Warren Elsmore.
And to build on the Lego link, The Spree will feature daily Let's Do Robotics with Lego workshops for children, as well as a showing of the Lego Movie in the arts centre.
Tickets are already on sale for some shows through the Renfrewshire Arts and Museums box office at boxoffice.renfrewshire.gov.uk.
Tickets for all others – including the King Creosote/Roddy Hart/RSNO show – will be available through www.thespree.co.uk from 9am on Thursday 28 August.

Townsend man, 73, crashes van, killed in Mass….
Townsend man, 73, crashes van, killed in Mass. Pike crash
By Robert Mills | rmills@lowellsun.com | Lowell Sun
PUBLISHED: December 11, 2009 at 12:00 a.m. | UPDATED: July 11, 2019 at 12:00 a.m.
LUDLOW — A 73-year-old Townsend man was killed and three other people were seriously injured Monday after a van went out of control on the Massachusetts Turnpike in Ludlow, crossed the median, and slammed into a guardrail and pickup truck on the other side of the highway.
State Police said Raoul Daunais, 73, of Townsend, was driving eastbound in his 2000 Dodge Ram van about 8:25 a.m., when the van crossed the median and the westbound travel lanes before striking a guardrail and then a westbound pickup truck.
Daunais was pronounced dead at the scene. A passenger in his van, Annette Daunais, 73, of Townsend, was seriously injured and taken to Bay State Medical Center in Springfield. She was in fair condition, according to a hospital spokesman.
Christopher Merrill, 45, of Auburn, was driving the pickup. He and passenger James Godfrey, 37, of Mendon, were both taken to Bay State Medical Center with serious injuries. A hospital spokesman said Merrill was listed in good condition and Godfrey was listed in fair condition.
State police are reconstructing the accident scene, and continue to investigate what caused Daunais to lose control of the van.
Daunais' family declined to comment when contacted last night.

It was 20 years ago, in 1996, when I hiked the Pacific Crest Trail. Ever since, I have longed to hike the Continental Divide Trail. At 61 years old, I figured I would work for a few more years and start a thru-hike of the CDT in 2019. A slightly unexpected event created the opportunity to change my thinking. On November 17 was told by my employer of eleven years that my job was eliminated. This news never really angered me. I benefited from eleven years of good income, challenging work, and travel to far flung places around the world to do my job: Europe, Brazil, Peru, Chile, Australia, South Africa (and I could go on about specific cities and added time to hike and explore, but not right now).
Roger on the CDT in the San Juan Mountains in 2015.
A week after I was told of the need to look for new "opportunities", my wife Cindy suggested that I hike the CDT in 2016. Wow! That was a revelation for me because hike the CDT is the real opportunity my job loss gave me.
My former employer was kind enough to ask me back on a temporary basis to work until I leave for the hike, and of course I said, "yes". Many of my former colleagues asked me if I would be blogging during the hike, and again I said, "yes".
This is my first post here, and I will add more posts as I get ready for the start of the hike, which I expect to be April 18.

These pictures appear to show a cardiac arrest alarm being covered up by a vending machine at Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital.
It's believed that the obstruction meant that nurses failed to respond when a patient suffered a heart attack during an operation, because they couldn't see the alarm's flashing lights.
The whistle-blower who obtained the photos said that the obstruction was a 'serious breach of patient safety'.
Speaking to the Liverpool Echo, the whistle-blower disclosed: 'While the staff were preparing a patient for heart surgery in one of the theatres, this patient suffered a cardiac arrest so normal procedures were followed, the arrest alarm was activated and, while the doctor and nurses were working on the patient, the scrub nurse was sent to see why there was no response to the arrest alarm.
'On reaching the theatre coffee room, which was full of nurses, no-one had responded to this alarm due to the fact that the cardiac arrest alarm was and still is obstructed by a vending machine.
The patient made a full recovery, and the hospital has said they're committed to 'ensuring the highest standards of safety'.
'We are absolutely committed to ensuring the highest standards of safety for every patient every day and, therefore, any concern raised is an open, honest and transparent manner,' they said in a statement.
'Whilst we have no record of a formal incident form being received to highlight a potential issue with the positioning of a vending machine, we responded immediately when this was brought to our attention.
'We have ensured that there is no obstruction to the cardiac arrest alarm in our theatre staff room and confirmed that the alarms are in full working order, both audibly and visually'.

NAFTA: Trump's trade war prompts threats of retaliatory tari
by Oscar » Thu May 31, 2018 5:07 pm
Trump's trade war prompts threats of retaliatory tariffs, questions about the future of NAFTA
[ https://canadians.org/blog/trumps-trade ... ture-nafta ]
Council of Canadians honorary chairperson Maude Barlow has tweeted, "US has launched trade war. In effect killed WTO and NAFTA."
She adds, "Trump's trade war has effectively killed NAFTA. He would not participate in a Chapter 19 challenge or abide by a trade ruling. NAFTA is dead."
Barlow's tweets follow the news the United States will impose steel and aluminum tariffs on Canada and Mexico (as well as the European Union) effective at midnight tonight. The Toronto Star reports, "The official justification for the tariffs is national security. The Trump administration, however, made it clear that the president is actually acting because the talks over NAFTA have stalled."
A Maclean's article has previously explained, "Chapter 19 allows Canada to bypass the U.S. judicial review process when the U.S. government imposes antidumping and/or countervailing duties on Canadian products imported into the United States... In such cases, Canada can use NAFTA's Chapter 19 to create an independent, binational panel of five arbiters, agreed upon by both parties, who will determine whether or not the duties have merit based on U.S. domestic laws. A separate process can be pursued at the World Trade Organization to determine whether the duties are in accordance with WTO rules as well."
If the Chapter 19 panel or WTO process were to find the duties lacked merit, then they would have to end. From the beginning of the NAFTA talks, the Trump administration has wanted to strike Chapter 19 from NAFTA.
This afternoon, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau spoke to reporters and called Trump's move on steel and aluminum tariffs "totally unacceptable."
He also tweeted, "Canada will also challenge these illegal & counterproductive measures under NAFTA Chapter 20 and at the WTO."
(Chapter 20 is the state-to-state NAFTA dispute process - where a government can allege that another government is not complying with its obligations under NAFTA. The Trump administration's position in the NAFTA talks has been to argue that the Chapter 20 provision should be made strictly advisory.)
And CBC now reports, "Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland said Canada is hitting back with duties of up to $16.6 billion on steel, aluminum and other products from the U.S., including maple syrup, beer kegs and whiskies." The Toronto Star further notes, "They will hit not only steel and aluminum products but dozens of others, from soup to boats to toilet paper to playing cards."
CNBC adds, "Mexico, the third largest U.S. trade partner, said it would penalize U.S. imports including pork bellies, apples, grapes, cheeses and flat steel."
No NAFTA talks are planned at this point, but US president Donald Trump will be meeting with Trudeau at the G7 summit in La Malbaie on June 8-9 (though National Post columnist John Ivison writes, "The fear in Ottawa is that the tariffs will create such a hostile environment for Trump in Charlevoix that he may not even show up.").
Council of Canadians trade campaigner Sujata Dey says, "We encourage the Trudeau government to have resolve on this issue and to stand up for Canadians, not just over steel and aluminum tariffs, but for the environment and the kind of society we want to live in. We continue to call for Chapter 11, references to water and energy proportionality to be removed from NAFTA."
For now, the Trudeau government will be soliciting public comments on the tariffs it intends to impose on the United States and says that those tariffs will come into effect on July 1 if the U.S. does not drop its tariffs on steel and aluminum.
Ivison adds, "Surreal as it may seem, Canada is about to engage in a trade war with the United States."
The Council of Canadians is closely following this developing situation.

Q: std::function fails to distinguish overloaded functions I am trying to understand why std::function is not able to distinguish between overloaded functions.
#include <functional>

void add(int,int){}

class A {};

void add (A, A){}

int main(){
        std::function <void(int, int)> func = add;
}

In the code shown above, function<void(int, int)> can match only one of these functions and yet it fails. Why is this so? I know I can work around this by using a lambda or a function pointer to the actual function and then storing the function pointer in function. But why does this fail? Isn't the context clear on which function I want to be chosen? Please help me understand why this fails as I am not able to understand why template matching fails in this case.
The compiler errors that I get on clang for this are as follows:
test.cpp:10:33: error: no viable conversion from '<overloaded function type>' to
      'std::function<void (int, int)>'
        std::function <void(int, int)> func = add;

      function(_Fp,
      ^
1 error generated.

EDIT - In addition to MSalters' answer, I did some searching on this forum and found the exact reason why this fails. I got the answer from Nawaz's reply in this post.
I have copy pasted from his answer here:
    int test(const std::string&) {
        return 0;
    }

    int test(const std::string*) {
        return 0;
    }

    typedef int (*funtype)(const std::string&);

    funtype fun = test; //no cast required now!
    std::function<int(const std::string&)> func = fun; //no cast!

So why std::function<int(const std::string&)> does not work the way funtype fun = test works above?
Well the answer is, because std::function can be initialized with any object, as its constructor is templatized which is independent of the template argument you passed to std::function.

A: Try:
std::function <void(int, int)> func = static_cast<void(*)(int, int)> (add);

Addresses to void add(A, A) and void add(int, int) obvoiusly differes. When you point to the function by name it is pretty much imposible for compiler to know which function address do you need. void(int, int) here is not a hint.

A: Another way to deal with this is with a generic lambda in C++14:
int main() {
    std::function<void(int, int)> func = [](auto &&... args) {
        add(std::forward<decltype(args)>(args)...);
    };
}

That will create a lambda function that will resolve things with no ambiguity.
I did not forward arguments,

A: It's obvious to us which function you intend to be chosen, but the compiler has to follow the rules of C++ not use clever leaps of logic (or even not so clever ones, as in simple cases like this!)
The relevant constructor of std::function is:
template<class F> function(F f);

which is a template that accepts any type.
The C++14 standard does constrain the template (since LWG DR 2132) so that it:

shall not participate in overload resolution unless f is Callable (20.9.12.2) for argument types ArgTypes... and return type R.

which means that the compiler will only allow the constructor to be called when Functor is compatible with the call signature of the std::function (which is void(int, int) in your example). In theory that should mean that void add(A, A) is not a viable argument and so "obviously" you intended to use void add(int, int).
However, the compiler can't test the "f is Callable for argument types ..." constraint until it knows the type of f, which means it needs to have already disambiguated between void add(int, int) and void add(A, A) before it can apply the constraint that would allow it to reject one of those functions!
So there's a chicken and egg situation, which unfortunately means that you need to help the compiler out by specifying exactly which overload of add you want to use, and then the compiler can apply the constraint and (rather redundantly) decide that it is an acceptable argument for the constructor.
It is conceivable that we could change C++ so that in cases like this all the overloaded functions are tested against the constraint (so we don't need to know which one to test before testing it) and if only one is viable then use that one, but that's not how C++ works.

A: While it's obvious what you want, the problem is that std::function cannot influence overload resolution of &add. If you were to initialize a raw function pointer (void (*func)(int,int) = &add), it does work. That's because function pointer initialization is a context in which overload resolution is done. The target type is exactly known. But std::function will take almost any argument that's callable. That flexibility in accepting arguments does mean that you can't do overload resolution on &add. Multiple overloads of add might be suitable.
An explicit cast will work, i.e. static_cast<void(*)(int, int)> (&add).
This can be wrapped in a template<typename F> std::function<F> make_function(F*) which would allow you to write auto func = make_function<int(int,int)> (&add)

A: As far as I can see, it's a Visual Studio problem.
c++11 standard (20.8.11)
std::function synopsis
template<class R, class... ArgTypes> class function<R(ArgTypes...)>;

but VisualStudio doesn't have that specialization
clang++ and g++ are perfectly fine with overloading std::functions
prior answers explain why VS doesn't work, but they didn't mention that it's VS' bug

Osisko Mining (TSX:OSK) has rejected Goldcorp's $2.6 billion takeover offer and has recommended that shareholders do the same.
In a statement issued Monday, the Quebec miner has called Goldcorp's offer "financially inadequate and not in the best interests of Osisko."
"Goldcorp's Offer significantly undervalues Osisko's world-class Canadian Malartic mine, and the rest of the Company's portfolio of high-potential projects in North America," Osisko wrote.
The miner has also called Goldcorp's bid "opportunistic" in terms of timing and says that the offered premium "is substantially below the premiums paid in other relevant metals and mining transactions."
The company's Board of Directors have unanimously recommended that shareholders reject the hostile take-over bid.
Osisko's flagship project is Canadian Malartic, a gold mine that completed its ramp up in 2013 and is now in the optimizing phase. The mine is expected to produce an average of between 500,000 to 600,000 ounces of gold per year over its 16-year life.
Goldcorp has been trying to acquire Malartic since 2008.
Osisko was trading at around $6.45 per share on Monday. The company went from less than $5 per share to above $6 around the time Goldcorp publicized its offer.

Caregiver features
What Is Alexa Together?
Alexa has become a household name in recent years, thanks to Amazon's beloved voice assistant and Echo smart speakers. With more and more seniors embracing tech, it makes sense that Amazon would create an Alexa product designed for older adults and their loved ones. That's where Alexa Together comes in.
Alexa Together is a subscription that offers all of Alexa's standard features, plus a 24/7 urgent- response center and alerts and tools for caregivers — all for $19.99 per month. Alexa Together offers robust features and peace of mind for seniors and their family members alike. You can set reminders, make video calls, send messages, check the weather, listen to music, view real-time activity alerts, and more. My grandma (who is always game to try the latest tech) and I tried Alexa Together for this year's review.
Read on to learn more about Alexa Together and our experience!
Alexa Together is a subscription-based service offered from Amazon. It is designed to protect your older loved ones and allow you to stay in the loop about their health and well-being. For $19.99 per month, older adults gain access to a 24/7 urgent-response center that can send the help they need, whether its first responders or a family member.
FYI: During an emergency, the user simply says, "Alexa, call for help." As long as they're in range of their Echo device, they'll be connected to an urgent-response agent in a few seconds.
Older adult users will need an Alexa-enabled Echo device, but family members and caregivers need only the free Alexa mobile app. The Alexa app features an activity feed with real-time alerts, including emergency calls placed and the user's activity. You can use the app's Drop In feature to video-call your loved one. You can also opt in to Remote Assist, which allows you to change device settings and remotely set reminders that show up on your loved one's Alexa-enabled device.
You can purchase a compatible third-party fall-detection device. When these devices sense a fall or the emergency button is pressed, they will connect to Alexa and place a call to the response center. Fall detection systems are completely optional, and Alexa Together will still function without them.

Setting Up Alexa Together
My grandma and I set up our Alexa Together account in just a few minutes. Before starting, you'll need a few things:
An Alexa Together subscription ($19.99 per month)
An Alexa-enabled device for your loved one
Two Amazon accounts (one for you and one for your loved one)
Home internet in the senior's home
My grandma didn't have an Alexa device, so we purchased an Echo Show 8, which you can bundle with Alexa Together. Once you have everything you need, you or the person receiving support can initiate the setup process. In our case, I initiated setup following the steps below:
Amazon currently offers a 30-day free trial of Alexa Together. I started my free trial by clicking the "Start 30-day free trial" button on the Alexa Together homepage. Make sure you're using the same Amazon account you'll use with Alexa Together.
After clicking the "free trial" button, Amazon will give you an overview of Alexa Together and ask you to select whether you want to provide or receive support. I chose to provide support.
I was asked to provide the email address and name of the person I wanted to receive support, so I entered my grandma's information.
My grandma received the email invitation, and she clicked the link. She was prompted to log in to her Amazon account and confirm her identity.
We were directed to a quick video that gave us more information about Alexa Together.
We went through a few more prompts and confirmed my grandma's emergency address and contact information for the 24/7 monitoring center.
Once my grandma accepted my invitation, I was able to see the Alexa Together dashboard in the Alexa mobile app. I appreciated that my grandma had to accept the invitation before I could access the dashboard to protect her privacy.
Important Note: Alexa Together offers a Circle of Support feature, which allows up to 10 additional caregivers or loved ones to provide support. However, only one user can currently receive support.
Watch the video below for a hands-on look at Alexa Together setup!
Viewing the Alexa Together Dashboard
After setup, I viewed the Alexa Together dashboard, which you can access from a smartphone. Think of the dashboard as the central hub of Alexa Together, where you can access features and adjust settings for your loved one. Here's how to view the Alexa Together dashboard:
I downloaded the Alexa mobile app on my iPhone (also available for Android phones) and logged in to my Amazon account.
I tapped the "More" button (it features an icon with three lines) in the bottom-right corner of the screen.
I tapped "See More."
I selected "Alexa Together" from the drop-down menu, and I was taken to the dashboard.
Once on the dashboard, you can make video or voice calls and send messages to your loved one's Echo device. You can also view the user's recent Alexa-related activities and access Remote Assist if your family member chooses to enable this feature. My grandma and I tested everything, and we'll get into the details below.
Testing Alexa Together
Using the Echo Show 8 With Alexa Together
You'll need an Alexa device to use Alexa Together. My grandma didn't own one, so we purchased an Echo Show 8. You can use any Alexa-enabled device, so you're all set if you already have one!
Setting up the Echo Show 8
The Echo Show 8 looks like a tablet, featuring an 8-inch touchscreen, stereo speakers, and a 13-megapixel camera for video calls. Like all Alexa devices, it is voice-activated, so you can ask Alexa to perform any of the device's functions or simply use the touch screen. I'm a fan of voice control, especially for older adults like my grandma who have arthritis or other mobility issues. You can use all of Alexa Together's features on the Echo Show 8, but the tablet has many other features for entertainment, organization, and more.
You can access your favorite apps, including Netflix, Prime Video, Amazon Music, and Spotify to enjoy music or video content. While trying the system, my grandma said, "Alexa, play the Mamas and the Papas on Amazon Music." One of her favorite songs started to play, and we were impressed by the clear and powerful speaker.
Quick Tip: If your older family member is not a fan of tech but they want to stay protected, you may want to consider a traditional medical alert system. Visit our list of the best medical alert systems for seniors to learn more.
Users can also search the internet, set calendar events and reminders, display photos on the home screen, and connect smart-home devices (such as a Ring doorbell camera). The Echo Show 8's features are seemingly endless, which may be a benefit or drawback. My grandma enjoyed the features, but she felt a bit overwhelmed navigating them even though she is pretty familiar with tech. If your older loved one is new to Alexa, it may take them some time to learn how the system works. With a little patience, I'm confident they can become Alexa pros!
Emergency Calls
Alexa Together customers have access to Amazon's 24/7 urgent-response center. During an emergency — whether it's a fall, injury, or other health issue — they can connect to an agent by saying, "Alexa, call for help." The agent will assess the situation and send whatever help is needed.
Speaking with the Alexa Together Urgent Response center
My grandma tested this feature by asking Alexa to call for help. Her Echo Show 8 immediately placed a call, and we were connected to an agent in around 10 seconds. The agent was patient and kind, asking if help was needed. We let her know we were just making a test call, and that was it! I received both text and mobile-app notifications letting me know my grandma had made the call. I appreciated how fast we were able to reach a representative.
Alexa Together notifications for Urgent Response calls
One thing to note: You'll need to be in range of the Echo device to make a call with your voice. If you're in the next room and Alexa can't hear you, the call won't be placed. Amazon recommends purchasing multiple devices to place throughout your home or purchasing a third-party fall-detection pendant or sensor (more on that later).
Drop In Calls
One of my favorite things about Alexa Together is the Drop In feature, which allows you to have video calls with the person receiving support. This feature is great for checking in on your loved one, especially if you live far away. To place a video call, tap the Drop In button at the top of the Alexa Together dashboard on the Alexa app. Your loved one's Echo device will ring and display your name on the screen. I tried this feature while I was with my parents, and we placed a video call to my grandma. My grandma liked the large screen and loud, adjustable speaker, which was perfect for family chats.
FYI: The person receiving support will need an Alexa device with a camera to make video calls. They can still make and receive voice calls even if their device doesn't have a camera.
My grandma and parents on an Alexa Together video call
You can send messages to the user's device in the Alexa app. I tapped the Message button at the top of the Alexa Together dashboard, typed a message, and pressed the blue arrow to send it. You can also send voice recordings, photos, or videos, which is great for family updates such as videos of the grandkids. A notification showed up on my grandma's Echo Show 8 with my name and a time stamp. She asked Alexa to read the message, and then she replied with a voice recording.
My grandma receiving an incoming message on her Echo Show 8
The Alexa Together dashboard has a feed called Today's Recent Activity. Each time your loved one uses Alexa, whether it's to reach the urgent-response center, send a message, or access an entertainment app, the activity will appear on the feed with a time stamp.
Setting reminder's for the user's first Alexa-related activity of the day
The person receiving support must opt in to Remote Assist, which helps protect their independence and privacy. If the user decides to enable Remote Assist, then you can adjust the settings on the user's Echo device, manage their contacts, and add reminders and shopping list items — all from the Alexa Together dashboard. This feature is useful for older adults who aren't as tech-savvy or need extra support for remembering important events and appointments.
Did You Know: 1 in 9 adults over 45 reported incidences of confusion or memory loss1. If your loved one struggles with memory loss, Remote Assist will be useful for helping them remember important information and daily tasks.
To access Remote Assist, I tapped the Remote Assist button at the top of the dashboard, which is represented by a gear icon. I added a reminder for my grandma's upcoming doctor's appointment. When the time for the reminder arrived, it popped up on the Echo Show 8's screen, and Alexa read the reminder aloud.
Using Remote Assist on the Alexa Together dashboard
Next, I added a few items to my grandma's shopping list. My grandma said, "Alexa, show me my shopping list," and Alexa pulled up the list. She asked Alexa to add a few more items. The shopping list also showed up in my grandma's Alexa app, so she had it with her when she headed to the store.
Adding items to my grandma's shopping list through Alexa Together
Check out our video review below to learn more about our experience testing out Alexa Together.
Adding Automatic Fall Detection With SkyAngelCare
With 36 million older adults experiencing a fall each year,2 technology to detect falls and quickly send help are essential. This is a major concern for my family. My grandma is very independent and active, but she lives by herself and we worry she'll experience a fall while she's alone. We decided to test a third-party fall-detection pendant called SkyAngelCare that is compatible with Alexa Together.
The SkyAngelCare fall detection pendant is compatible with Alexa Together
SkyAngelCare is a simple pendant, featuring a help button and automatic fall detection. The pendant costs $169.77 and can be purchased on Amazon. As long as your Alexa Together subscription is active, the SkyAngelCare pendant will work. When the user presses the help button or the pendant detects a fall automatically, it connects to the user's Alexa device and calls the urgent-response center. The pendant relies on an internet connection, just like Alexa-enabled devices, so it works only inside the home.
Testing SkyAngelCare
Our SkyAngelCare system came with a pendant, charger, and instruction manual. The manual included detailed step-by-step instructions. We charged the pendant for a few hours, followed the directions, and the system was ready to go. To place a call, press and hold the gray help button until the pendant buzzes and its in-unit lights flash red. This will trigger a call to the urgent-response center, which will show up on your Alexa device so you can communicate with the representative.
My grandma wearing the SkyAngelCare pendant
Compared to popular medical alert systems with fall detection, SkyAngelCare's setup was a bit complicated. My grandma and I also had some trouble getting the system to connect to Alexa's urgent-response center, but that was likely a problem with my grandma's internet. I would recommend SkyAngelCare only to tech-savvy seniors with a strong internet connection or people with loved ones who can help with setup.
Additional Fall Detection Options
Alexa Together is also compatible with two other fall detection systems: Vayyar Care and AltumView. Both systems will connect to Alexa Together's monitoring center when a fall is detected. Vayyar Care is a touchless fall-detection system that sticks to the wall and detects falls using motion sensors, perfect for high-risk areas of the home such as the bathroom.
AltumView is a camera system that detects falls and monitors activity. As the system learns the user's behavior over time, it can show health trends, send alerts to caregivers, and perform fall risk assessments to help reduce the risk of future falls. AltumView even features facial recognition to distinguish users and provide accurate alerts. To protect user security and privacy, AltumView only transmits stick-figure video footage.
Alexa Together Cost
Subscription Pricing
An Alexa Together subscription costs $19.99 per month or $199 per year, which breaks down to less than $17 per month. Amazon currently offers a free 30-day trial, so you can try the system without risk.
Device Pricing
Along with a subscription, the user will need to purchase an Echo device for a one-time fee. There are Alexa devices to fit most budgets, costing anywhere from $24.99 for the Echo Dot to $249.99 for the Echo Show 10. Systems with more advanced features such as cameras and touch screens cost more, while simple systems that feature only a smart speaker cost less.
Money-Saving Tip: Amazon runs deals throughout the year to help you save, so be on the lookout as you shop. When my grandma and I purchased her Echo Show 8, it was on sale for $99.99 (normally priced at $129.99).
If you decide to add a third-party automatic fall-detection system, that's another cost to consider. The SkyAngelCare pendant costs $169.77, while the wall-mounted Vayyar Care system costs $247.75. AltumView's camera system costs $199.99. There are no additional monthly fees with these systems.
Final Thoughts on Alexa Together
Alexa Together provides a simple way to stay connected and protected for just $19.99 per month. My grandma and I enjoyed trying Alexa Together's features, and we were impressed by the efficient 24/7 urgent-response center. The subscription service provides real-time alerts and Drop In calls, which are perfect for friends and family who live far away. Alexa Together currently allows only one person to receive support, but the Circle of Support feature allows multiple loved ones and caregivers to provide support to that user.
There will be a learning curve for older adults who have never used Alexa or a smart speaker, but, thanks to Alexa Together's 30-day free trial, you can give the service a thorough test before you decide if it's right for you.

The Fox IT Career Fair is great opportunity where students get the chance to meet and network with prospective employers. It is the best event at Temple to find an interesting and rewarding job in tech industry. Each year over 40 employers attend looking to hire MIS majors for a wide variety of positions. Almost every industry is represented at the career fair, so no matter what industry you wanted to go into the career fair had you covered. This year at the career fair I met with upwards of thirty employers and the conversations I had that actually led to multiple interviews and opportunities.
