Despite the startling cost of healthcare in the united state, the largest medical insurance business continue to publish record profits for three straight years. While you could think those revenues are straight out of constant as well as large premium rises, an additional trend is driving insurance company earnings.
Larger co-payments to see a physician might be preventing people from making medical professional visits. Also amongst those with medical insurance advantages, covered members are looking for less healthcare. Health insurers just continue to pocket the costs whether they spend a lot on physician as well as hospital look after participants.
With healthcare reform, insurers are being called for to spend at the very least 80 percent of the premiums collected on health care for the participants paying those premiums. That might take a bite out of document profits, yet insurance providers also have one more advantage.
High-deductible medical insurance plans have actually been seen to inhibit health care usage. To lessen the risk of individuals putting off seeing a doctor until their health degrades, health care reform has actually likewise taken a great deal of the risk out of plans with high deductibles.
High-deductible Medical Insurance Program Absolutely Cover Preventive Treatment
As premiums rose, both business providing employees medical insurance and also individuals purchasing their own medical insurance changed to high-deductible health insurance prepares to maintain their insurance coverage premiums low. Before healthcare reform, policyholders were hesitant to spend from $1,000 to $10,000 to meet the deductible. That indicated not seeing a physician for far too many people.
Healthcare reform doesn’t change plans previously bought, yet it does mandate that any plan you get after health care reform became regulation offer advised preventive care without out-of-pocket prices. That means the plan’s deductible does not put on annual check-ups, many inoculations, and also the most typical testing procedures to spot life-threatening problems like cancer cells, diabetic issues or heart disease.
With 100-percent precautionary care protection, high-deductible medical insurance strategies have become a legit means to invest in your very own future rather than in an insurance provider’s profit margin. With preventative care covered, you’re less most likely to fulfill a plan’s deductible. As long as your health is fairly excellent, you can take on a bit more risk by trading low premiums for a high insurance deductible.
A Health Savings Account Is An Investment In Your Future
To invest in your future, look at the plans that allow you to open up a Health Interest-bearing accounts (HSA). With among these tax-advantaged accounts, you can invest what you reduce premiums in bonds, mutual funds, stocks or an interest-earning savings account. No matter just how much your HSA makes, the balance will certainly roll over from year to year and also you will not need to pay taxes on the development.
At any time prior to or after retired life, you can take out HSA funds to see a dentist, obtain a medical massage therapy, or buy any kind of number of health-related solutions without paying taxes on the withdrawal. You can spend your HSA money for your partner’s or partner’s or dependent’s healthcare, as well, even if they are not covered by your plan. Just be careful to only utilize HSA funds for lawfully eligible health-related products and services, or you’ll need to pay a 20% penalty.

The PlayStation 5 event kicked off having the game of the generation. A trailer for Grand Theft Auto 5 took precedence over any PS5 exclusive, showing how significant the Grand Theft Auto franchise is into the PlayStation platform. Sony affirmed that Grand Theft Auto 5 is coming to PS5 at the next half of 2021.
Grand Theft Auto 5 is not merely being rereleased on the PS5 platform, naturally. Rockstar confirmed that Grand Theft Auto 5 is being enhanced for the PS5’s impressive new hardware. Specifics weren’t supplied. Therefore it’s not evident if the game will run at 4K or 60fps, but players may probably expect Rockstar to earn Grand Theft Auto 5 look outstanding.
But Grand Theft Auto 5 is not just being improved for its PS5. Rockstar also says that it is being enlarged. Rockstar didn’t provide any specific details about what that might mean, possibly. What Rockstar does state is that it will be making the sport”more responsive and beautiful than ever before.” Hopefully, it means something much more substantial than a Grand Theft Auto Online material.
Ultimately, Sony made a statement which should produce future PS5 owners very pleased. That being that if it starts in 2021, Grand Theft Auto Online is going to be free for all PS5 owners. Grand Theft Auto Online players on PlayStation 4 will Find a million GTA$ every month up till Grand Theft Auto Online is available on the platform.
Is a PlayStation Plus subscription. Of course, to get their GTA$, GTA Online players might have to log in and play.
Following the finish of Sony’s PlayStation 5 occasion, Xbox’s community guru Major Nelson verified that Grand Theft Auto 5 Will soon come to Xbox collection X. It, also, will be”enlarged and improved.” It will arrive in the second half of 2021.
As for why Grand Theft Auto 5 is taking so long to come to next-gen consoles, there is no word. Rockstar has had plenty of time to bud the game if it needed to. Grand Theft Auto 5 Came out before last for the creation. Rockstar’s Priorities simply must be on something. What could remain a Complete mystery, for today?

Airbus Turns 50: The European Planemaker in 10 Photos

Tuesday is a big day in aviation: Airbus turns 50. The European consortium founded in 1969 to make just one airplane has evolved into a multinational company with a full family of jets, and a household name among flyers. Last year, Airbus delivered 800 airplanes to Boeing’s 806: the two rivals are the only companies in the world making twin-aisle jets, and in single-aisle airplanes they are far, far bigger than anybody else.
Not bad for a company that, at its birth, was looking to sell at most a few hundred copies of the A300, the airplane that ended up instead launching its career as a world-class aerospace venture.
Airbus has, in fact, been a technological innovator since its inception. It built the first twin-engined widebody airplane, the A300; the first fly-by-wire airliner, the A320, using electrical impulses to move the control surfaces; the biggest passenger plane ever made, the A380. Its A350 flies the longest nonstop flight in the world, which the A340 did before it.

It all began on May 29, 1969, with the signing of an agreement between the French and German governments to build an aircraft, the A300. FlightGlobal magazine recounts that the term “air bus” originated at a preliminary meeting in 1965, and somehow stuck because it made sense in French, German and English (the British, although not part of that 1969 agreement, took part in the airplane’s design and in the consortium that eventually came out of it.)
The plane flew first in 1972 and entered service with Air France two years later, starting a revolution that reverberates today: On flights up to medium haul it could do everything that four- and three-engined jets could, but with only two engines. That was the beginning of the twin-engine trend for big widebody airplanes; it’s why when we cross oceans today we are likely to do so in a plane with just two engines.
The A300 was also much quieter than the equivalent 250-seaters it competed against, which had three or four engines.
Australian transport Minister Charles Jones and members of the press, Airbus officials and Department of Civil Aviation Officers listen to the noise made by the A300 as it lands at the Melbourne airport during a demostration tour in 1974 (Photo by Trevor James Robert Dallen/Fairfax Media via Getty Images).
In 1983, Airbus launched the A310, a shrunken A300 that had enough range to cross the Atlantic. It marked the arrival of the European consortium in an exclusive American (and Soviet, at the time) province: big jets that crossed oceans. Airbus was there to stay.
What really put Airbus on the map as a credible rival to Boeing was its first single-aisle plane: the A320. First flown in 1987, it quickly gained several siblings, from the endearingly tiny A318 to the stretched A321. The A320 family is the Airbus you’re most likely to find yourself flying on; it’s second in worldwide sales only to Boeing’s 737.
With the entry of the A340 in service in 1993, Airbus became a real all-around player. It finally had a true long-haul jet — and it was long indeed: that year, an A340 beat the nonstop flight record for a passenger plane with a monster jump from Paris to Auckland, New Zealand. Granted, that was a demonstration flight with no passengers, but even with a full load the A340 was no slouch. Its A340-500 version flew for years the Singapore-Newark route for Singapore Airlines, covering 10,000 miles and sporting state-of-the-art (at the time of its 2004 debut!) flat-bed seats in business.
Singapore Airlines still flies that nonstop service, except with the A350, the successor to the A340, which has just two engines and exceptional fuel economy.
But not everything has been a success for Airbus, and none of its failures has been bigger than the A380’s. The biggest passenger airplane in the world has sold poorly, and the assembly line will be closed in 2021; Airbus never really made money on it. The mood was altogether different in 2005, when French president Jacques Chirac showed up in person to congratulate the first flight’s pilots.
The disappearance of the A380 will be a sad day for passengers, though. Its sheer size makes it possible to install amenities that not even the Boeing 747 can match: a shower in first class on Emirates, the unparalleled Residence (with its own butler) on Etihad, an actual duty-free shop on Korean Air. That’s all going away when the last of the A380s touches down for good. But that won’t be until a couple of decades from now.
Today, Airbus is concentrating on the new generation of the A320, its single-aisle cash cow. With new engines, the A320Neo family burns about 20 percent less fuel per seat than its predecessor, and airlines are buying it up.
The company’s newest product, though, was made by someone else: the A220, whose flight deck is seen below, is a renamed Bombardier C-Series jet, and came into the family when Airbus bought the program from its financially ailing Canadian maker.
These days, there are no new Airbuses in the works. Still, around the world, there are around 8,400 of them in service. If you haven’t flown on an Airbus yet, you most likely will.

Joe Biden is not doing very well in polling, as Americans are finally waking up to the disaster that he has created domestically as well as his foreign policy gaffes.
It seems like the Hamas attack against Israel was the final straw, as it becomes almost imminent that the United States is going to get sucked back into the Middle East if Biden remains in office.
California Governor Gavin Newsom has been making some big moves, and failed Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake seems to think he may be the one to take up the Democrat fight for office, not that it will matter very much.
Move Over, Joe
Lake, a huge Donald Trump supporter as well as having been endorsed by Trump in the Arizona gubernatorial race, which she lost, believes that Democrats are already making moves behind the scenes to get Newsom in place.
For instance, Newsom made a recent trip to China. And yes, I asked the same question... why is a California governor traveling to China for photo ops with President Xi?
To that point, Lake stated, "I mean, you're seeing Gavin Newsom, who has been a complete disaster in California, ... but yet, the Democrats are trying to lay the groundwork for him to run.
"It's pretty obvious if you're watching him. He's over there in China meeting with the guy who will really be in control of the Democrat Party."
Lake continued, "I think they know that Joe Biden is going to be such a disaster, the Democratic Party will collapse.
"I don't know who it's going to be ultimately, but my bet is that Gavin Newsom is starting to move in.
"They realize that not just Joe Biden, but [Vice President] Kamala Harris are disastrous, and the voters just will not vote for those two."
Lake went on to say that all other Republican candidates are running hubris campaigns. She added that they should all drop out and back Trump because he is the only person who can fix all these problems on his first day in office.
Lake announced her candidacy for the Arizona seat in the Senate currently held by Senator Sinema (I-AZ) on October 10. Trump immediately endorsed her campaign.
If she wins the primary, she will be facing off against Sinema and Democrat candidate Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ).


Chandrababu Naidu demands white paper on power situation
By Express News Service | Published: 18th January 2013 09:42 AM |
The state government should publish a white paper on the power situation vis-a-vis losses sustained by discoms and also on the situation during former chief minister YS Rajasekhara Reddy’s regime, TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu has said.
Addressing a gathering at Shantinagar village of Kodada mandal on Nalgonda- Khammam border on Thursday as a part of his Vastuna Meekosam walkathon, he said Kiran Kumar Reddy government had mismanaged the power situation.
“When we handed over the government to Congress in 2004, the state was having surplus power and even the budget was surplus,” he claimed.
Labelling N Kiran Kumar Reddy as a ‘kiri kiri’ CM, he said Kiran government is the most inefficient. It has separated husbands and wives in the farming community. While one is forced to wait at the transformer, the other is at the motor pump, watching out for power supply, he said. Reiterating his promises of loan waiver to farmers, he said a farmer is forced to pay for the fertiliser with five lathi strokes on his back.
“Today, Kiran Reddy announced one kg of quality rice for `1, which is to say that the rice given till date under the subsidy rice scheme was of inferior quality,” he said.
He said Kiran Reddy had failed to ensure compensation for Nilam cyclone victims and relief in droughthit mandals, while chief ministers of other states had seen that funds were released to their respective states. He claimed that Sharad Pawar had told him that Kiran Reddy had not asked for central government funds.
Chandrababu Naidu held the people responsible for the predicament that they were in today, as they had voted the Congress to power.
“You ensure TDP victory next time and be assured of welfare and development like never before,” he promised.
Asked from where he would get money for waiving farm loans, he said needed funds would be generated from recovering the public wealth looted by YSRC and Congress leaders.
“What had been looted by them would be enough to waive farm loans five times,” he said. Naidu described Congress and YSRC parties as two branches of the same tree. Reiterating several of his promises, he said his party was never against Telangana.
He would make tribal hamlets with more than 500 people as village panchayats, give priority to Muslims and ensure categorisation of SCs, he said. The TDP chief, who entered Nalgonda district at 1:10 pm, behind schedule, covered 16.2 km on the first leg of his walkathon in the district.
He addressed public gatherings at Shanti Nagar and Mogulikunta and unveiled NTR statue at Anantagiri before night halt at KITS college in Khanapur area of Kodada town. People had turned up in good number to see Naidu.

For 2014 Im going to take part in the documented life project (http://www.robenmarie.com/blog/2013/12/14/the-documented-life-project.html)
For this challenge you need a planner (although you could use a journal or any book you have) and each week there are going to be new themes and challenges released.
To help me get back into the swing of creating again I decided to give it a whirl, and up until today I hadn’t done anything with my planner because the challenge doesn’t officially start till January 1st!
Below is my planner all ready for the new year 🙂
I removed the piece of paper that was on the front of the planner and decided to use it to make a pocket for my book:
First of all I glued random papers all over it and let the glue dry:
Then I decided to make a background for a tag on a sheet of card using the same method as above:
I glued my tag to the back of the paper, then cut round the shape of the tag so that I would get a random background on my tag:
Next I folded 2 tabs on the back of the pocket so that I could use them to glue the pocket to the book:
Then I trimmed off the front to make it look tidier:
I decided it needed more colour so I sprayed them both with ink:
I used my heat gun to dry the ink, once they were dry I added the finishing touches and then glued the pocket inside the planner with the tag inserted, which you can see below:

Two-wire serial interfaces are included in the following AVR microcontroller families: ATmega8x, ATmega16x, ATmega163x, ATmega32x, ATmega323x, ATmega64x, and ATmega128x. TWI interface is a “Philips” standard I2C. Using the TWI interface, you can connect up to 128 devices using only two wires: clock (SCL) and data (SDA). Only two pull-up resistors on each line are needed for this interface to work properly.
The I2C interface circuit is an open collector. This means if one of all devices has a low-level signal on a line, then it is ‘0’, and if all devices have a high impedance state, then the signal is considered to be great ‘1’—more details about TWI interface you can find on any ATmega datasheet.

Singer Kanika Kapoor is still facing probe in a case in which an FIR was filed against her on charges of spreading COVID-19 and hiding her travel history from health authorities. The singer contracted the deadly virus in March and underwent treatment at a hospital in Lucknow.
According to ETimes, Lucknow Police are carrying out a probe into the case on the basis of the FIR lodged in March. The news website reported that the police have sought travel details of the singer from Air India as she took a flight of the airlines to come to India on March 9. They will proceed after receiving the details from the airlines.
Kanika was in the eye of the storm for attending gatherings just after coming to India. She had also allegedly skipped mandatory screening at the airport. Some of the gatherings she went to were attended by political leaders like Vasundhara Raje, her MP son Dushyant Singh and parliamentarians Derek O’Brien and Anupriya Patel. They had to go into self-quarantine later.
When she tested positive for the virus, the singer in a statement said that she was scanned at the airport as per the normal procedure. She informed that the symptoms developed a few days after coming to the country.
At that time, Kanika made the announcement of her contracting the virus by saying, “I got myself tested and it came positive for Covid-19. My family and I are in complete quarantine now and following medical advice on how to move forward.”
The central government’s order not allowing people to fly to India from the UK came into effect on March 18. The singer claimed that she had reached India on March 9 and Lucknow on March 11.

Liberty without Learning is always in peril and Learning without Liberty is always in vain.
What we know is a drop, what we don't know is an ocean.
I am a part of everything that I have read.
Although modesty is natural to man, it is not natural to children. Modesty only begins with the knowledge of evil.
The ability to observe without evaluating is the highest form of intelligence.
The task of a writer is not to solve the problem but to state the problem correctly.
A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. So is a lot.
Any knowledge that doesn't lead to new questions quickly dies out: it fails to maintain the temperature required for sustaining life.
Imagination is the source of every form of human achievement. And it's the one thing that I believe we are systematically jeopardizing in the way we educate our children and ourselves.
Don't worry that children never listen to you; worry that they are always watching you.
I had rather excel others in the knowledge of what is excellent, than in the extent of my power and dominion
A witty saying proves nothing.
My weapon is literature
I prefer the company of peasants because they have not been educated sufficiently to reason incorrectly.
Learn as though you would never be able to master it; hold it as though you would be in fear of losing it.
No man's knowledge here can go beyond his experience.
Never help a child with a task at which he feels he can succeed.
Knowing others is wisdom, knowing yourself is Enlightenment.
God created man in His own image, says the Bible; philosophers reverse the process: they create God in theirs.
An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.
The first idea the child must acquire is that of the difference between good and evil.

By Jeff Reinhardt AKA Ptree of Persimmon Tree Forge
Searching for a good safe forge lube can be a challenge.
Having worked in and around large commercial forge shops for about 24 years I knew that solid film lubes that are water borne are the current standard.
These don't flare fire, don't smoke, and don't produce dust like the graphite based forge lubricants common for many years.
I have used several industrial forge lubricants in my personal shop and my public demonstration group,
The Brotherhood of Friendly Hammermen were starting a new protect, carving wizards from 3" square stock.
We use sledge hammers in public shows to do these and so a lubricant/coolant for the tooling was crucial.
Not only does the lubricant protect the tools and reduce effort it improves the steel movement so that the work is cleaner and has better definition.
I contacted Fuchs Lubricants and they provided a sample of Forge Ease 3512 a non-graphite forge lubricant.
Diluted to 50:50 with water we used this lubricant to carve a number of wizards.
We used it on the handled hot cut, the eye punches and so forth.
Worked a treat.
Next project was an anchor from 2" round bar stock.
We used the Forge ease 3512 for the slit and drifts that were used for the mortise and tenon joint and the slit and drifted cross bar hole and the ring hole. This lubricant cools the tools, and leaves a solid film lubricant that lets the tools glide deeper than with other choices. No smoke and no fire.
The trick is to dip a hot tool into the lube to both cool and lube.
The lube does not do much of anything on a cold tool.
NOTE: Sensitive alloys such as H13 should not be quenched when red hot or at high heat as damage to the tool may result.
The tool only needs to be at the "sizzling" point of 350°F (177#176;C) or above to produce the necessary coating of dry lubricant.

In the long shadow of Donald Trump’s victory in the November 8th election, Jill Stein’s bid as Green Party Presidential candidate is likely to be a forgotten footnote to a momentous turning point in US history.
Polling at around two percent before the election the Greens had campaigned hard through social media and alternative news sources to build on the radical, anti-establishment popularity of Bernie Sanders, especially amongst young voters. . However, .
Yet that one percent may have been decisive. In the key battleground states of Wisconsin and Michigan, Stein’s vote total was more than Trump’s margin of victory. Of course, this does not mean Green voters would have turned up to vote for Clinton had Stein not been on the ballot. As Jessica McBride notes in a state by state analysis for the combined third party vote in Florida and Pennsylvania was also more than Trump’s margin of victory, but Gary Johnson’s appeal was more likely with Republicans than Democrats. Second guessing US voters’ intentions retrospectively is impossible, but the perceived threat that Stein might pull enough Democrat voters away from Hillary Clinton – in the way that Ralph Nader did in the 2000 Bush-Gore contest – never really materialised.
This was not the nail-bitingly close election result of 2000 where the Green vote arguably cost the Al Gore the Presidency. Instead, pollsters watched their predictions of a Clinton win reduced to worthless confetti (yet again). Trump picked up white working-class votes former Democrat strongholds, and benefitted from relatively low enthusiasm and Democrat turnout, especially in the so-called rustbelt states afflicted by economic decline and poverty.
A poll recently published in claimed that Bernie Sanders would have ‘crushed’ Trump by 56-44 had he been the Democrat Presidential candidate. While the poll, commissioned by Sanders supporting Democratic Congressman Alan Grayson, is almost certainly over-optimistic, it is certainly the case that Millennial enthusiasm for Bernie’s socialist message – identical in many key respects to that of the Greens – did not easily translate into support for Hillary Clinton. It also did not translate into the kind of mass enthusiasm for Green Party policies that might have transformed the Party into a major player.
The next four years could see a progressive alliance of Democrats and Greens fighting Trump on issues of social and environmental justice – enthusing young voters to come out and defeat Trump in 2020. However, Green antipathy to the Democratic Party means that this is unlikely even with a left-leaning environmentalist at the head of the party. Much depends on the direction of the Democrats – either behind more progressive figures such as Elizabeth Warren or back towards more ‘establishment’ leaders such as Andrew Cuomo. Either way, the Greens may prove big enough to dent Democrat fortunes again, but not big enough to make the break through needed to challenge America’s two party stranglehold on politics.
