Truckers Against Trafficking reveals 'Everyday Heroes' Kenworth truck
The attendees got to take a look inside the Freedom Drivers Project, a mobile display featuring a video and artifacts from human trafficking survivors.
In coordination with National Human Trafficking Awareness month, Truckers Against Trafficking (TAT) unveiled its 2019 Everyday Heroes Kenworth T680, at a press conference held recently at the National Mall in Washington, D.C.
Fifty members of the national media and sponsors of the Everyday Heroes Kenworth T680 turned out for a chance to listen to speakers and get a first-hand look at the special TAT Kenworth truck.
Featured speakers explained the importance of stopping human trafficking and the need to continue to raise awareness about the crime.
The speakers included:
Kendis Paris, TAT executive director and co-founder
Kevin Baney, Kenworth assistant general manager of sales and marketing
Don Blake, new truck sales manager, Inland Kenworth – Phoenix
Andy Biggs, U.S. rep – Arizona
Karl Racine, District of Columbia attorney general
John McKown, UPS driver and TAT ambassador.
"The press conference was held to help raise awareness for human trafficking, and we accomplished that goal through our Everyday Heroes Kenworth T680 and the Freedom Drivers Project," said Blake, who serves as a TAT board member. "There was even a local driver who passed by and decided to pull his rig over to check out our special truck. He was inspired after learning about the program and wants to become TAT trained and to encourage others at his company to do so as well."
Those in attendance had the opportunity to look through the Freedom Drivers Project.
"One woman told me that the Freedom Drivers Project was incredible, but the only thing missing was a box of tissues," said Blake. "As sad as it is to walk through the exhibit, it really does portray how terrible the crime of human trafficking is today. Hopefully, with the help of TAT trained members, we may one day bring an end to this crime."
Fighting human trafficking takes money to fund, and that is why the 2019 Everyday Heroes truck was built – as a fundraiser to offset TAT program costs. The Kenworth T680, valued at $162,000 will be auctioned off live on Ritchie Bros., site in Phoenix, AZ on May 17.
"Human trafficking is one of the greatest human rights violations of our time and it is going to take every sector, both public and private, and every individual no matter their profession, playing a role in helping to bring freedom," said Paris. "This Everyday Heroes truck stands as a symbol that the American trucking industry is dedicated to doing just that."
According to TAT, 2,250 calls have been made to the national hotline by truckers which have helped identify over 1,100 victims of human trafficking, many of whom are kids.
"At the office of attorney general, we see kids every day and sadly we see kids who are victims of human trafficking," said Racine. "One of the earlier speakers spoke of the need to curtail trafficking by ending demand. The only way we can do that is if we enlist more eyes and ears on the roads, at the hotel, and at the transportation sites throughout this country."
The unveiling of the Everyday Heroes trucks kicks off a four-month tour with stops at Kenworth's Chillicothe, OH plant (Feb. 21-22), the TMC Annual Meeting in Atlanta (March 18-21), and the Mid-America Trucking show in Louisville (March 28-30), before making its final stop at Richie Bros.
The special Kenworth T680 is fully loaded with a 76-inch sleeper, 485-hp PACCAR MX-13 engine, and PACCAR 12-speed automated transmission.
"Kenworth is honored to be involved in the auction to help maximize the value, create demand and generate top dollar for the Everyday Heroes truck to benefit this worthy cause," said Baney. "Helping drivers understand human trafficking and knowing what they can do to help is an extension of our message, and it's an essential part of our mission to make this a better world."
To make the Everyday Heroes Kenworth T680 truck possible, sponsors at the platinum, gold, silver and bronze levels donated parts and money to help in the manufacturing process.
Providing support for the truck are Platinum Level: Kenworth Truck Company, Inland Kenworth and Ritchie Bros; Gold Level: PACCAR Engine, SEG Automotive, and Swift Charities; Silver Level: Bendix, Bridgestone, Eaton, FlowBelow, Horton, Jost, Meritor, PACCAR Financial, PACCAR Parts, Utility Trailer Sales of Arizona, Trimble, and WABCO; and Bronze Level: Alcoa, Arizona Rock Product Association, Arizona Trucking Association, Beaver Stripes and Molding, Chevron, ConMet, Davco, East Penn, Ex-Guard®, National Seats, PrePass / Help Inc, Sheppard, and Tectran.
Since its founding in 2009, over 680,000 people have become TAT educated and trained. With over 3.5 million truck drivers in the U.S. alone, drivers are considered the eyes and ears of the road. Drivers like McKown is one of those drivers looking to make a difference.
"I'm a fighter against human trafficking. This is where it gets tough because I'm a dad, a grandpa, an uncle, and a great uncle," he said. "But, more importantly, I'm in this fight to bring awareness to this horrible crime and someday, somehow make a difference in someone's life."
The Everyday Heroes Kenworth T680 is designed to raise awareness for human trafficking and encourage other drivers on the road to report suspicious activity to the National Human Trafficking Hotline (1-888-3737-888).

didn't you understand this. Ronak says it means you were acting.
Sir ji says if I didn't do acting, I would have got real heart attack. Ronak says I know this, I m your son, I know your plans. Sir ji says you had played the game this time. Ronak asks what would I do, did you leave any option, I will tell you what happened. FB shows Sir ji going away from Ronak. Hanumanth messages Sir ji. Sir ji sees Jaya and his pics.
He sees Ronak's threatening video and gets shocked. He fakes the heart attack and stops the marriage. FB ends. Ronak asks how did you like the story. Sir ji asks did you go mad. Gayatri and Muskaan hear him shouting. Ronak says talk slow. Sir ji asks are you not ashamed. Gayatri comes running. Sir ji acts again. She asks him to get fine soon. Ronak asks her to go, dad is fine. Gayatri goes. Ronak counts Sir ji's mistakes and his ego problems. Sir ji says don't forget what I can do. Ronak says I made you believe me and blackmailed you, by getting the proof, so I left Hanumanth after you. FB shows, Hanumanth clicks Sir ji and Jaya's pics and sends to Ronak.
Ronak gets shocked. Ronak says Sir ji is a big cheat, my mum regards her Ram, he is Raavan, he becomes good in front of the world, he is spending time with another woman, he runs a brother, he has broken mum's trust. Ronak goes to meet Jaya. He gets insulting her. She gets shocked. He says I m Sir ji's son. He shows the pic and says women like you break families, I don't care for you and Sir ji, I care for my mum, I love her, I don't want her to get ruined because of you. He ruins things and says why did you do this, for some money, tell me why did you do this. Jaya cries. He says you have ruined my family, did you get peace, this house will never become home, what will my mum go through knowing this, I don't know my mum's name to get linked to you, you have no right to live. He points gun at her. She gets shocked.

Musings on Life & Literature
Cultural Criticism
Admirable People
Edward O. Wilson's The Meaning Of Human Existence
by Philip Clark on January 15, 2016
I have a certain bias to confess at the outset of this piece. There is, at present, a war of ideas being fought over the future of social studies. On the one hand are the self-styled "sociologists," the current rulers of the roost, who have demonstrated an incredible recalcitrance in the face of scientific encroachments on their territory. On the other are the scientists themselves – biologists, chiefly, but also neuroscientists, anthropologists, zoologists, and many others – whose findings over the last half-century have tended to undermine or outright contradict some of the major tenets of modern sociology. This war was inaugurated by Charles Darwin, when his theory of evolution destined the study of mankind – our habits, manners and culture – to one day be subsumed by the field of biology, but the man who can be credited with dealing the first direct blow for science is Edward O. Wilson, a Harvard professor of biology and the world's foremost authority on ants. His 1975 work Sociobiology, which coined the term, made the case for a biological understanding of human behaviour, earning him the predictable slanders from the predictable people. And yet here we are, four decades later, and the explosion in scientific knowledge made possible by, for example, the Human Genome Project, or advances in magnetic resonance imaging – to name just two major examples – have overwhelmingly tended to confirm his conjectures. My bias, if it can be called that, is that I believe the war has already been won, at least at the level of the evidence, and the stubborn dissenters argue from what Jonathan Haidt has called "motivated ignorance."
The Meaning Of Human Existence is a (short) look at what humanity looks like through the sociobiological lens, beginning with Wilson's important assertion that "history makes little sense without prehistory, and prehistory makes little sense without biology." A synthesis, of the kind Wilson is after, would seek to understand human history in biological terms. What did our pre-human ancestors bequeath to us that might have biased our development along certain lines? His first example comes from our way of perceiving the world. Though human beings have the benefit of sight, sound, touch and scent, it is primarily through sight and sound that we orient ourselves in the world. Our relatively poor perception for smells – likely a consequence of our ancestors becoming bipedal – distinguishes us from many of the other creatures we share the planet with, and has shaped our culture enormously. Next, consider our brains, the most complex mechanisms in the known universe, and the wellspring of human thought and creativity. Contrary to the dictates of religion, "the human mind did not evolve as an externally guided progression towards either pure reason or emotional fulfillment. It remains as it has always been, an instrument of survival that employs both reason and emotion." What we think of as "the human condition," that miraculous assembly of contradictions that describes the joys and pains of our existence, is not the product of original sin, or merely the imprint of a malleable culture; it is our genetic heritage, unique, flawed and beautiful.
One of his better examples of innately programmed behaviour comes from sea turtles. The mother sea turtle emerges from the sea only once in her life, to lay eggs on sandy beaches. When the eggs hatch, the hatchlings make their way towards the water, as if guided by instinct, without the help of their mother. But what does this mean, to say that an instinct compels them towards the water? Through a little clever experimentation, biologists discovered that it is the bright lights reflected off the ocean waters to which the infant sea turtles are compelled. If you set up a far brighter light away from the sea, the baby turtles prefer it to the ocean. Human beings, too, have such instincts, programmed in our brains, that bias our behaviour. We have instincts to be social, to seek a mate, to avoid danger. We can gain clues as to which human behaviours have an instinctual basis by comparing these tendencies across multiple cultures and continents. If the tribespeople of Papa New Guinea, long severed from contact with other humans, bury their dead, divide labour between men and women and employ creation myths to explain their existence, it is a likely bet that there is some underlying genetic adaptation "biasing" these universal cultural traits. The sequencing of the genome or the investigation of our neurons are merely more sophisticated means of testing this hypothesis.
To this microscopic approach, Wilson adds the macroscopic, incorporating new findings from, for example, the Hubble Telescope, that convey some sense of the vastness of our universe and, very likely, our deep solitude within it. If the smallest things – neurons and DNA bases – can provide some foundation for constructing meaning, so too must cosmology.
I find his approach fascinating, and its potential explanatory power far dwarfs what his religious and social studies competitors have to offer. But – and here I must put aside my fealty to his paradigm – this book suffers immensely from a lack of cohesion. Perhaps the lofty subject proved too challenging to be adequately covered in a single volume, but Wilson nonetheless makes a valiant effort: there are whole sections devoted to environmentalism, the frightening potentials of gene therapy and his latest feud with Richard Dawkins – described as an "eloquent science journalist," with some implied condescension – on the kin selection vs group selection theories of altruism (of which, if you're interested, you may read an excellent overview here). His paradigm is one I ultimately endorse, and one I think will be increasingly vindicated by new research, but this book seems designed more to introduce a skeptic to the basic premises, and it's too muddled, too loosely structured to do that effectively.
I am a lover of poetry and prose, an aspiring writer and literary critic, and a secular humanist with a strong belief in the ideals of the Enlightenment. I make no claims to special wisdom or insight; I offer merely the benefit, if benefit there be, of my reflections.

We have work very hard latest months to introduce next 4.8 release of Valentina Database. Below is the short list of new products and features that we have implement.
Amazing job was done in this direction. During latest 8 months was (re)written Valentina Report engine. We have totally drop dependency on wxWidget library in reports and have start to use new other much more powerful libs.
We introduce preview of new Sqlite plugin for Valentina Studio Pro. Now you can use Valentina Studio to manage a Sqlite database! You can use powerful Valentina Studio features as Diagram Editor and SQL Builder.
We have port Valentina Studio Pro to Linux. So linux guys now can be happy.
Interface Builder (IB) plugin is an incredible addition to V4CC.framework, which allows to developer bind GUI of his Windows/Dialogs to a Valentina Database without any line of code!
We have add into V4CC.framework one more folder "V4CC/Cocoa", which contains additional classes of different Valentina Controllers, categories that extend existed V4CC classes (e.g. VCursor) to support fundamental Cocoa technologies as KVC, Fast Enumerations, Bindings, Controllers, ability for V4CC to be used in projects with enabled garbage collection option.
We introduce "Valentina Servers" control pannel for OS X, that allow you control in the visual way state of installed Valentina Server(s). You can see state of each VServer (running/stopped), you can change state. Also you can clean vlogs folder of a VServer by button click.
This control panel is able to recognize and work in the same time with Valentina Office and Embedded, running in 32 and 64 bit modes.
[IMP] Valentina for REAL Studio – Support of Cocoa Target improved.
Latest REAL Studio builds introduce yet experimental feature – Cocoa builds. We have made some fixed in V4RB to make sure Valentina works in this mode.
1) Around Valentina DB exists many IDEs where SQLite is integrated on default. So we have quite often case when Lite developer want switch to Valentina DB.
2) We going to open Valentina Reports to users of other databases also. First of them with be users of SQLite. So it will be comfortable for them to be able use Valentina Studio to design REPORTS, and in the same time manage their SQLite dbs. The second our step will be – to add other dbs (Postgre, MS SQL, ODBC, …) and also integrate them into Valentina Studio, at least via our ODBC plugin.
We introduce OS X Preference Pane "ValentinaServers".
Now Table can display not only fields/methods but also links and triggers. This can be tuned in the prefs of Vstudio for each new table, added to a diagram, and for each existed table on the diagram.
Now it is possible to open diagram full screen.
OS X Loads DYLIB from App folder ignoring install_path … Oops?
Our Valentina Studio project has one Application target and dozen of plugins targets. Plugins are made as bundles.
All these targets build products into the same folder "Debug (Native)" or "Release (Universal)".
Then Run Scripts do copy plugins into App package and using install_name utility correct install paths for them.

A system for infusing medicine into the body of a patient includes an implantable infusion apparatus containing a dosing unit with a reservoir for the medicine and a medicine delivery pump for pumping doses of the medicine from the reservoir into the patient. The infusion apparatus also includes a sensor for sensing a parameter of the patient for controlling the dosing of medicine according to the sensed parameter. The dosing unit and the sensor are galvanically separable and are each provided with separate telemetry communication units for communication with an external programmer/controller. The external programmer/controller includes telemetry communication units for selectable communication with the dosing unit or the sensor or both simultaneously. The telemetry communication units of the external programmer/controller, the dosing unit and the sensor are constructed for bi-directional communication between the external controller and each one of the dosing unit and the sensor.
The present invention relates to a system for infusion of medicine into the body of a patient of the type including an implantable infusion apparatus containing a dosing unit with a reservoir for the medicine and a medicine delivery pump for pumping doses of medicine from the reservoir into the patient, a sensor for sensing a parameter of the patient for controlling the dosing of medicine according to the sensed parameter, the dosing unit and the sensor being galvanically separable (i.e. no direct path for electric current flow) and each being provided with separate telemetering communication means for communication with an external controller.
Systems of this type for infusion of, e.g., insulin are known, see e.g. U.S. Pat. No. 4,494,950 and W. Schubert et al, "An implantable artificial pancreas", Medical and Biological Engineering & Computing, 1980, 18, pp. 527-537. In the latter document an artificial implantable pancreas is described in which, in a first mode of operation, a glucose sensor transmits the actual blood glucose level to a control unit, in which the amount of insulin to be infused is calculated on the basis of patient specific parameters, recorded in a program memory and corresponding control signals for a dosing unit are determined by a control algorithm. If no sensor is used or if the sensor employed fails the dosing unit is controlled, in a second mode of operation, by a stored dosing program. Thus, the first mode of operation corresponds to a closed control loop and the second mode of operation to an open control loop.
In U.S. Pat. No. 4,543,955 a system is also described having an implantable physiological sensor for controlling an implantable device in response to changes in the parameter sensed by the sensor. The implantable device can be a heart pacing device, a drug infusion pump or another device interacting with a human body. In this system the sensor directly communicates with the device by conductors or a telemetry link. A heart pacing system of this type is also described in European Application 0,317,986.
Considerable efforts have been made in developing implantable closed loop systems for the control of blood glucose in which a sensor continuously monitors the glucose level and optimally controls the infusion of insulin into the patient. The creation of such an implanted system, which is completely safe to the patient, however, still poses significant difficulties.
An object of the present invention is to provide a new system for infusing medicine into the body of a patient in which the difficulties related to the above mentioned systems are avoided.
The above object is achieved in accordance with the principles of the present invention in a medication infusion system having a dosing unit with a reservoir for medication and a medication delivery pump connected to a catheter for pumping doses of the medication from the reservoir into the patient, a sensor which senses a physiological parameter of the patient for controlling the dosing of the medication according to the sensed parameter, and an external programmer/controller. The sensor and the dosing unit are both implanted in a patient, and each contain respective telemetry units which bi-directionally communicate with a telemetry unit in the external programmer/controller.
With the system according to the invention several important advantages are obtained. The operation of the sensor and the dosing unit can be easily checked individually. The sensor can easily be disconnected if it should fail and the dosing unit can be operated according to a dosing program or by manual control. The initial adjustment and calibration of the system and the development of an algorithm for controlling the dosing in response to the sensed parameter Can be easily performed by analyzing sensor data and selecting the dosing of medicine correspondingly. The system according to the invention is particularly well-suited for determining an algorithm from the sensor data at the beginning of the operation of the system, since the physician and/or the patient can easily change the initially-set control parameters and can adapt the insulin dosing to the sensed data according to experience, so that the first "approximation" is successively improved and adapted to the real needs of the patient based on the reaction of the body of the patient. It is also easy for the physician or the patient to intervene and change the control parameters later on. Further, because the functioning of the sensor and the dosing unit can be easily checked, reliable functioning of the system as a whole can be easily guaranteed.
The external controller of the system according to the invention further includes telemetry communication means for selectable communication with the dosing unit or the Sensor, or both simultaneously. In this way data can be received from the sensor and the dosing unit separately and an infusion schedule can be determined based on telemetered sensor data and telemetered dosing unit data.
Moreover in the system according to the invention the telemetry communication means of the external controller, the dosing unit and the sensor are constructed for two-way communication between the external controller and each one of the dosing unit and the sensor. In this way program data can be transferred from the external controller to the sensor and sensed data and calibration data can be delivered by the sensor to the external controller. Further, the dosing unit can receive infusion schedule data, safety related data, and system-indicating data and it can deliver patient related data, operation data of the dosing unit, and infusion reports to the external controller.
According to another embodiment of the system of the invention, the dosing unit and the sensor are mechanically separated. The dosing unit and the sensor can then be implanted at different times and at different sites in the body of the patient. In certain applications it is desirable to measure the relevant parameter in one point of the body and infuse the medicine in another.
According to another embodiment of the system of the invention, the external controller can be portably carried by the patient. This permits continuous communication link between the dosing unit and the sensor to be maintained by means the external controller, and according to a further version of this embodiment the dosing can be automatically controlled by the sensor. Thus, a closed control loop regulation is created.
According to another embodiment of the system of the invention the sensor is switchable by the external controller between a passive state and an active state, the sensor performing its functions in the active state. In this way the power consumption of the sensor is reduced.
In further embodiments of the system of the invention, the external controller can calculate an infusion schedule for the dosing unit from data received from the sensor and possibly also from the dosing unit. This calculation can be done in different ways, such as according to a stored algorithm or computer program, using a fuzzy logic system, or using a neural network system. The external controller can also include means for proposing to the patient a new or amended infusion schedule for acceptance or modification by the patient before being transmitted as the controlling infusion schedule to the dosing unit.
According to another embodiment of the invention, the external controller includes means for indicating information to the patient received from the sensor and the dosing unit. Such indicating means could be a display, a beeper, etc.
The single FIGURE is a schematic block diagram of a medication infusion system constructed in accordance with the principles of the present invention.
In the drawing an embodiment of the system according to the invention is shown, which includes an implantable sensor 2 with an associated data processor and memories 4, a telemetry processor 6 and telemetry communication unit 8. The system further includes an implantable dosing unit 10 containing a reservoir for the medicine to be infused into the body of a patient and a medicine delivery pump connected to a catheter having a tip located at an infusion site for pumping doses of the medicine from the reservoir into the patient. The dosing unit 10 further includes electronics for the control of its function and a power source, in the form of a battery, for its operation. These individual parts of the dosing unit 10 are not shown separately in the drawing because they are well-known to those skilled in the art and do not per se form any part of the invention.
The dosing unit 10 is also provided with a telemetry communication unit 12.
The sensor 2, the processor and memories 4, the telemetry processor 6 and the telemetry unit 8 are contained in an implantable housing 9, and the dosing unit 10 and the telemetry unit 12 are contained in another implantable housing 11. As indicated by the straight dashed line, the housings 9 and 11, and the components respectively contained therein, are implanted in a patient to whom the medication is to be administered.
The system further includes an external programmer/controller 15 containing a processor 14 with an associated telemetry communication unit 16 for bi-directional communication with the sensor 2 and its processor and memories 4 and telemetry processing 6, and the dosing unit 10, via their respective telemetry communication units 8 and 12.
The telemetry communication units 8, 12 and 16, of the sensor 2, the dosing unit 10, and the external programmer/controller 15 are each provided with sending and receiving circuitry for bi-directional communication between the processor 14 and each of the dosing unit 10 and the sensor 2.
The sensor 2 can be an insulin sensor which senses the blood sugar level of the patient. The sensed data can be transmitted continuously to the processor 14 of the external programmer/controller 15 which then controls the dosing unit 10 to deliver insulin accordingly.
The data sensed by the sensor 2 can also be stored in a memory in the processor and memories 4 and read out on command from the external programmer/controller 15. The sensor 2 can also deliver calibration data to the processor 14 of the external programmer/controller 15.
The sensor 2 can also receive program data from the processor 14 for storage in a memory of the processor and memories 4.
The sensor 2 is switchable by the processor 14, via the telemetry link, between an active state in which the parameter of interest is sensed, such as the blood sugar level, and in which information is received and sent to the processor 14, and a passive state in which the energy consumption is a minimum. In this way the total power consumption of the implant is reduced.
The dosing unit 10 is also switchable by the processor 14 between an active state and a low energy-consuming passive state. In its active state the dosing of insulin is performed and information is sent to and received from the processor 14 via the telemetry communication units 12 and 16. Thus, the dosing unit 10 can receive e.g., infusion schedule data from the processor 14. It can also receive and send safety related data, patient related data, operation data, and system identification data. Further, reports of successful infusions of insulin can be delivered from the dosing unit 10 to the processor 14 for comparison with predetermined limiting values so that the controlling of the dosing unit 10 can be changed when such a limiting value is reached. The dosing unit 10 is also able to confirm receipt of instructions from the processor 14 for safety reasons.
The external programmer/controller 15 contains (not shown) data entry means, user informing means, such as a display or beeper for providing information to the person in whom the other units are implanted, communication means and data storage means, all connected to the processor 14. The programmer/controller 15 can thus be operated to selectively activate the sensor 2 and the dosing unit 10 for receiving and sending information as described above and in a processor, can calculate infusion schedules based on telemetered sensor data according to a stored algorithm, a computer program or by means of a fuzzy logic system or a neural network system.
The infusion schedule can be based on telemetered sensor data and telemetered pump data from the dosing unit 10, or be calculated based on data received from the sensor 2 and a programmed patient dosing plan.
The external programmer/controller 15 also has means such as switches, buttons, microphones, etc (not shown) connected to the processor 14 for receiving information from the patient, and can be provided with means for sending and receiving data from other external apparatus such as an external computer.
As mentioned above, the dosing unit 10 can be automatically controlled by the external programmer/controller 15 in accordance with data received from the sensor 2 in a closed-loop regulation. The external programmer/controller 15 is then always carried by the patient, the programmer/controller 15 having a size and shape making it portable. The sensor 2 can, however, be disengaged from such closed loop control by the external programmer/controller 15 and the dosing unit 10 can be controlled manually or according to a predetermined dosing back-up program. This is of value if the sensor 2 should fail or other problems with the sensor circuit should appear.
The system according to the invention can also be provided with means for direct communication between the sensor 2 and the dosing unit 10, either telemetry communication means (as indicated by the dashed double arrow) or a galvanic (wired) connection. The system is then switchable between one mode of operation with direct communication between the sensor 2 and the dosing unit 10 and another mode of operation in which this direct connection is interrupted and communication between sensor 2 and dosing unit 10 takes place through the external programmer/controller 15.
The above embodiments of the system according to the invention have been described for insulin therapy, however, the system according to the invention can be used for infusion of other kinds of medicines. Thus, the system according to the invention can be used for, e.g. patient's subject to abnormal blood pressure or patients having circulatory disorders for providing such persons with medicine. The sensor 2 is then a sensor for sensing blood pressure or a peripherally implanted oxygen sensor.

Playing Sheet Mask Hidden Dangers?
Watch: Should You Try the Korean 'Zombie' Face Mask?
Dermatologist Dr. Sonia Batra says "Absolutely, yes." She explains that face masks have high concentrations of ingredients and are designed for short contact, somewhere between 5 – 20 minutes.
Face masks that have high concentrations of ingredients like alpha hydroxy acid, retinoid, alcohol or fragrances, if left on overnight, can be terribly irritating and dehydrating. Dr. Batra says they may actually draw the moisture right back out of the skin!
Watch: Can Baby Bump Sheets Prevent Stretch Marks?
If someone does leave the mask on for too long, Dr. Batra suggests some ways to calm the irritation. She says to use a cool compress, an anti-inflammatory scent-free dye-free moisturizer, hydrating agents like witch hazel, or even a little antihistamine if you are really red. Dr. Ordon adds that aloe works too. "Especially from the fridge," chimes in Dr. Batra.

Ángel Faus Belau (Villarreal de los Infantes, Castellón; 9 de febrero de 1936 - Castellón de la Plana, 30 de agosto de 2020) fue un periodista español y catedrático honorario de la Facultad de Comunicación de la Universidad de Navarra. Está considerado como uno de los mayores especialistas europeos en radio, además de ser el primer doctor de Ciencias de la Información de España (1979) y fue maestro de veinticinco promociones de periodistas.

Biografía

Formación radiofónica
Desde muy joven tuvo clara su vocación periodística. Su familia, en la que abundaban los médicos, quiso encaminarle hacia el Derecho. Pero tras concluir el bachillerato, Faus continuó con su objetivo, colaborando en diversos periódicos y emisoras de radio de Valencia, tanto de ámbito local como nacional. En 1954, en Madrid, conoció a su maestro Antonio G. Calderón, creador de la narrativa radiofónica española. En 1958 se planteó formarse en el extranjero, y se trasladó a Francia (RTL) y Alemania donde permaneció hasta junio de 1962. En Berlín fue alumno de los profesores Emil Dovifat, Otto Groth y Otto B. Roegele. Tras ocho años de ejercicio profesional, -en julio de 1962- llegó a Pamplona para sistematizar los conocimientos prácticos que había adquirido con el rigor universitario que ofrecía entonces el Instituto de Periodismo de la Universidad de Navarra.

Instituto de Periodismo de la Universidad de Navarra: enseñanza de Radio
Faus asistió en el verano de 1962 a la quinta edición de un Curso de verano, organizado por el Instituto de Periodismo de la Universidad de Navarra. Durante el curso, los asistentes trabajaron en Redacción, una publicación que finalmente vio la luz el 11 de agosto de 1962 bajo la dirección del propio Ángel Faus. Posteriormente realizó la licenciatura de periodismo en el Instituto de Periodismo de la Universidad de Navarra (1962-1964), en la que obtuvo el Premio Extraordinario Fin de Carrera. Fue el primer doctor de Ciencias de la Información de España, en 1979.

En septiembre de 1966, Manuel Martín Ferrand regresó a Madrid. Había venido desde la cadena SER para dar clase en el Instituto de Periodismo en enero de 1965. Para sustituirle haciéndose cargo de la enseñanza de Radio y Televisión se pensó en Ángel Faus e Iñaki Gabilondo, dos jóvenes recién salidos del propio Instituto de Periodismo en septiembre de 1964. Faus se ocupó de la asignatura de Hemerografía I y II, e Iñaki Gabilondo de la de Radio  en la que siguió hasta ocupar la dirección de Radio Popular de San Sebastián.

A comienzos de 1965 Faus dirigió la construcción y puesta en marcha del primer estudio de Radio creado en una Universidad española, y el segundo en Europa. Emil Dovifat (1890-1969) había creado uno en Berlín en 1935. Las obras de instalación se prolongaron desde agosto de 1964 hasta finales de ese año. Se ocuparon dos aulas situadas en el Edificio Central de la Universidad de Navarra: una sala de control, inmediato a la clase, y el locutorio en la sala siguiente.

En 1971 se estrenaron dos nuevos estudios de Radio, remodelando completamente el anterior. Estaban emplazados en una de las torres del Edificio Central y equipados con modernos aparatos de grabación y montaje. Como Iñaki Gabilondo había cesado en octubre de 1970 como profesor de Radio, Faus le sustituyó. También dirigió Faus la instalación y puesta en marcha del primer estudio de Televisión en una universidad europea. En el curso 1971-72 se incorporó Juan José García-Noblejas al claustro académico.

El 10 de marzo de 1979 Faus defendió su tesis doctoral «La tecnología en la información televisiva», que dirigida por Alfonso Nieto Tamargo, recibió la calificación de sobresaliente cum laude. Fue la primera tesis doctoral en la historia del periodismo español.

En febrero de 1975 Faus gestionó con las emisoras locales de Pamplona la cesión de espacios radiofónicos para emitir los programas de prácticas de los alumnos. Radio Requeté (hoy Radio Pamplona, SER), La Voz de Navarra del Grupo Radiocadena Española (RCE) y Radio Popular apoyaron en todo momento el trabajo de "los alumnos de Periodismo de la Universidad de Navarra", como anunciaba la entradilla de esos trabajos.

En el curso 1985-86 comenzó la asignatura "Teoría y práctica de la expresión audiovisual", cuyo principal responsable era Ángel Faus. Su contenido básico se centraba en la Información Televisiva y Radiofónica, incluyendo las perspectivas teórica, histórica y práctica.

En 1988, Faus formó parte del consejo editorial de la revista Comunicación y Sociedad, una revista científica editada por la facultad de Comunicación, que apareció en 1988. Esta revista de periodicidad semestral pretende reflejar algunas de las investigaciones teóricas desarrolladas en la facultad de Comunicación.

Faus impulsó la emisora 98.3 Radio Universidad de Navarra, que comenzó sus emisiones en prueba el 29 de septiembre de 1999 y se inauguró el 6 de octubre, con la asistencia de autoridades locales y regionales. Faus diseñó unos estudios y equipos de alto nivel en el edificio de Ciencias Sociales de la Universidad. En la preparación de la insonorización y aislamiento de los estudios participó un experto de la BBC.

A lo largo de su larga actividad docente, Faus ha sido maestro de veinticinco promociones de periodistas. También ha sido profesor invitado en universidades de Alemania, Austria, México, Chile y Argentina. En 1975 asesoró en comunicación a diversas empresas, siendo consultor sénior de Innovation Media Consulting Group.

Tras su jubilación, regresó a su ciudad natal, donde trató de reconstruir la historia de la radio en España. Fruto de su investigación fue la publicación de La radio en España (1896-1977). Una historia documental.

Vida privada
Ángel Faus se casó con María Luis Alcaraz Castelló. El matrimonio tuvo cinco hijos: María Luisa, María Ángeles, Ángel, Begoña y Luis Faus Alcaraz. En el momento de su fallecimiento contaba con once nietos. El funeral se celebró el 31 de agosto en la Concatedral de Santa María de la capital castellonense.

For people with diabetes, switching to a plant-based diet might palliate a withering haughtiness pain that can come with a condition, and maybe revoke their risk of losing a limb, a tiny commander investigate has found.
More than half of adults with Type 2 diabetes might rise diabetic neuropathy, a form of haughtiness repairs ensuing from bad blood dissemination and high levels of glucose in a blood, prior studies have shown. Diabetic neuropathy can lead to ulcers and other infections on a legs and feet, and is a primary means of prong amputation for people with diabetes.
There's no heal for diabetic neuropathy; doctors customarily provide a pain with remedy and advise a studious to sojourn observant about cleaning wounds to forestall infections.
Compared with a control organisation of 17 adults who perceived B12 supplements though confirmed their current, non-vegan diet, a organisation on a vegan diet reported poignant improvements in pain relief. Tests also suggested softened dissemination and haughtiness function, and these participants lost, on average, 14 pounds.
Many people in this involvement organisation also saw improvements in their bodies' ability to control their levels of glucose, or blood sugar, that afterwards authorised them to reduce a sip of their diabetes medication.
The investigate appears currently (May 25) in a biography Nutrition Diabetes and was led by doctors and nutritionists during a Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM), a non-profit classification that promotes surety medicine and a vegan diet.
"We suppose that by augmenting your insulin attraction and improving blood sugarine levels, we are permitting your physique time to repair a haughtiness damage," pronounced Cameron Wells, a purebred dietitian during PCRM and one of a authors of a study.
Wells described blood with high glucose levels as being "thick" and incompetent to broach nutrients to haughtiness endings.
Normally, glucose is obtained from carbohydrates; and a hormone insulin, secreted by a pancreas, ferries glucose into cells, where it is used as fuel. But in people with Type 2 diabetes, insulin can't good packet glucose from a blood into cells for reasons not wholly understood. Thus, a blood becomes brimful with glucose.
Maintaining a healthy glucose turn is called glycemic control.
A investigate published in 2002 in a New England Journal of Medicine by researchers during George Washington University found that lifestyle changes — diet and practice — were twice as effective during determining diabetes than a heading diabetes drug, metformin.
Many of a participants in a new investigate told a researchers they were tender by how fast they mislaid weight and softened their glycemic control on a plant-based diet, Wells told Live Science.
"It's always so rewarding to see [our patients'] reactions, since it's indicating 'I unequivocally am doing something that seems to be working,'" Wells said.
However, a new investigate was singular in that a researchers could not establish that component of a low-fat, plant-based diet led to a celebrated improvements. It could be that merely losing weight — despite no easy charge for many — was a categorical writer to neuropathy pain reduction, a researchers wrote.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that a annual approach cost of diabetes diagnosis is some-more than $175 billion. In a new study, a researchers remarkable that a cost of a diet abounding in shaggy greens and other plant dishes is good within strech of many budgets.

← RIP: The Last Karaite Shochetet?
I dedicated the talk to the life and achievements of Madame Rachel (Sheila) Cohen. She attended the Karaite synagogue every Shabbat in her 80s (!!) and explained the weekly Torah portion. You can see a short clip of her at the end of the video.
One could write volumes on any of the individual topics in the presentation, but since I only had 25 minutes I did not go into a deep justification/explanation of the Karaite or Rabbanite theology on these issues.
And since it is Women's History Month, if you think that Judaism can learn from the Karaite approach to these issues, by all means share the video with friends.
People often ask me for a bibliography (of sorts) in case they want to do some Karaite reading/learning on their own. Here are the references to the Karaite-focused works I discussed.
There IS a Meḥiṣah in all Qaraite synagogues where females do not worship on a higher level, like in Yerushalayim. You ought to correct this mistake.
Hi Zvi, thank you. I will look into this. (I based my statement on the words of Hakham Rashi Moshe Firrouz, who says that there is no such requirement.) I also do not think I said there were no separation barriers in any synagogue, but I will definitely be mindful of this and I always appreciate your pointing these things out to me.
OK Shawn, I was referring to the table where you had written "Mechitza NO". I thought you would perceive this. I have not sought to cause you or someone else aggravations.
BTW, I harshly rebuked R. Moshe Firrouz for stating in his own presentation that there are no chairs in Qaraite synagogues, when there is nothing easier than stating "in Qaraite synagogues there are some chairs only near the rear wall". For the life of me I cannot fathom why many Qaraites repeat the untrue claim that no chairs exist in Qaraite synagogues, as if the truth is of this detail is somehow contemptible.
Hi just found out that my Family tree originated from the Karaite Jews . I googled information on and found your talk . I found it very interesting and can see from my family the charastics through the generations to be the same as the Karaite Jews . my Name is Niamh Reynor and want to learn more about my ancestors . I myself was born in Ireland and I believe we were descendants of Karaite Jews in France who were being persecuted .

'We'll have what they're having'
Credit: Christine Bronson | Lockport Union-Sun & Journal | April 28, 2017 | www.lockportjournal.com ~~
According to a state press release dated April 21, the New York Department of Environmental Conservation bought 17 acres "in the historic maritime hamlet of Setauket" with state Environmental Protection Funds. Why? "For watershed protection, forest health, and passive recreation in accordance with a Unit Management Plan that will be developed in the near future with community input."
DEC Commissioner Basil Seggos praised the governor, saying, "… to purchase this parcel shows Governor Cuomo's continued commitment to protecting our waterfront resources."
Setauket is a charming (now more so) village on Long Island's north shore. The purchased property is described as a "crucial link in a string of green, recreational, educational, and historic spaces" going from the Greenway Trail through park lands, and ending at the Fitzsimmons property, the name of the newly acquired green space. The parcel had long concerned the community "because of its potential for residential development, which would have increased runoff entering the watershed and the Long Island Sound." State Assemblyman Steve Englebright added, "The acquisition will preserve in perpetuity the rural character of [this] corridor." A Brookhaven Town official remarked that she was "excited to celebrate Earth Day by drawing attention to the natural resources in our community."
Nature author and Setauket resident Carl Safina was very grateful that the state demonstrated such a respect for nature and the citizens who want to preserve it. "One of the things that makes living in Setauket so delightful and exceptional," he remarked, "is the mix of residential and preserved space. It's important not only for the physical beauty of the area but also for the birds and other wildlife that make life here so interesting. We are really pleased and gratified that this natural beauty we enjoy so much will be a permanent feature of our neighborhood."
The state's purchase downstate begs the question, what about upstate?
Why is it that we residents of Somerset and Yates, New York, have been pleading with the state and Governor Cuomo, writing almost 1,000 letters to the Public Service Commission in the past three years, for exactly what the residents of downstate Setauket have received? We have our own historic and scenic Seaway Trail corridor. We, too, seek protection from industrial development becoming a permanent feature of our two towns. We would be pleased and gratified if the governor took notice of the natural resources we have in abundance, and that need protection. And if residents here were allowed "community input," Apex's 650-foot wind turbine project called Lighthouse Wind would have been nixed two years ago.
We, too, love our rural homes, our open spaces, wildlife, raptors, song birds, peace, quiet, nighttime stars, and lake waves. All told, they make life here interesting for us.
Preserving rural character of an area? Drawing attention to a community's natural resources? Commitment to protecting waterfront resources? Community input? Somerset and Yates want all this, as well.
Let's see Governor Cuomo's true "continued commitment" for protecting the quality of life for all New Yorkers, even ones who don't live on Long Island.
Christine Bronson is a Somerset resident.

Spirits were high as the sun shone down over Knockhill Racing Circuit during the second SMS Student Challenge of the year. On Saturday 1st October, 59 students from across the country travelled to Knockhill Racing Circuit to try out different forms of motorsport and endeavour to be crowned the victor! From the four Universities that attended the event; Edinburgh, Heriot Watt, Robert Gordon and Strathclyde; three groups were formed.
The weekend of the 5-7th August saw the inaugural Ignition Festival of Motoring event visit the SECC in Glasgow; a motoring festival that included exhibitions, driving displays and Glasgow's first ever street circuit.
GET INVOLVED IN MOTORSPORT AT IGNITION!
If the answer is 'YES!' then Scottish Motor Sports invites you to join us at Glasgow's Ignition Festival at the SECC. Find us in Hall 5 where we will be celebrating everything that is Motor Sports. On our stand, there will be the opportunity to get close to a variety of modern and classic competition bikes and cars.
The future growth and development of motor sport in Scotland has been strengthened by the appointment of Gillian Sefton as Development Officer for Scottish Motor Sports. This appointment follows our recent launch event, where we announced Sportscotland's commitment to invest into the development of motor sport over the next four years.
Motorsport legend Sir Jackie Stewart joined representatives from sportscotland, the Motor Sports Association, and the Scottish Auto Cycle Union to announce a new partnership to grow the motor sport in Scotland.
A cold but sunny Knockhill racing circuit played host to the SMS Student Challenge on 5th March. The event, which is running for the second year, attracted almost 50 students from across the country. Teams were fielded from; Aberdeen University, Edinburgh University, Edinburgh College, Robert Gordons University and Strathclyde University.
The news has broken that a new three-day motoring festival will be greeting the streets of Glasgow this year, starting on the 5th August.
The SMS 2016 – 2020 Strategic plan has been completed and presented to Sportscoltand. The completion of this strategy marks the culmination of 4 years work from the SMS committee, which was initially formed in 2011. SMS was formed as a collaboration of the two governing bodies for motor sport in Scotland; the SACU and the MSA.

Q: Google CardDAV for Contacts - Read Only? I'm looking to use Google CardDAV to push a set of Contacts tied to a specific Google account out to a bunch of iPhone devices using our MDM software. So far everything works - i pointed the software to https://google.com/carddav/v1/principals/mygoogleaccount and the contacts all populate down to the iPhones. But - any change that any user makes to the contact list will be reflected back to the Google account,  meaning it will affect all users. Is there a way to make this functionality read only? Maybe create another account that only has read access to the list and push that to the devices instead of using the main credentials? I could probably disable the ability to edit the contacts on the device level, but I don't want to do this, as employees may wish to add their own personal contacts to their individual devices.  I just want the master CardDAV list we are pushing out to stay consistent.
Does anyone have experience or any idea how I would accomplish this?
The above pretty much states it all. Looking to deploy a Contact list to a group of iPhones thru an MDM via Google CardDAV, but need the list to remain read-only at the device level. The Internet does not seem to have any information on how to do this.

The Upper East Side's Colorado, an attractive, beige-and-dark-brown-brick, 35-story apartment tower at 201 East 86th Street was erected in 1987. It dominates a very prominent corner in Yorkville, bestowing considerable light and air -- two of the three other corners at this intersection are low-rises, and the third is set back in a plaza.
The Colorado has a stainless-steel entrance marquee, 24-hour concierge and doorman, 24-hour emergency maintenance, roof deck with landscaped gardens, two-story limestone base, a residents' website, on-site laundry, and extensive retail spaces. Individual units, which come in eight unique floor plans, feature hardwood floors and winning views of either the East River or Central Park.
It has many corner windows, excellent local shopping, and easy public transportation. It's close to the private schools and cultural and religious institutions of Carnegie Hill. There are diverse memorable cafes, food stores, and movie theaters in the vicinity, plus a post office and fire engine company. The high-rise is conveniently located one block from the Lexington Avenue subway line with easy access to other New York regional transit options.
I would like information on apartments in The Colorado. Please contact me ASAP.

Home > For Patients & Professionals > about saint francis hospice > News > Respite for Wallace
Wallace White was 73 years old when he was diagnosed with heart failure. Shortly after having a pacemaker fitted, he had a torrid night's sleep.
Joe Emery
"I woke up and felt like I was drowning," he recalled. "I went into sheer panic."
Tests at Queen's Hospital revealed that Wallace had a build-up of fluid in his lungs, stomach and legs. The nurses at Queen's knew he wasn't too keen on hospitals. As Wallace became bloated and his legs so swollen that he couldn't lift them, they suggested Saint Francis Hospice could help him. The prospect of Wallace coming to our Hospice scared his family and friends.
"They presumed I must only have days to live," he remembered. "I was there for 17 wonderful days. The medication the nurses gave me did the trick, and they cared for brilliantly."
Wallace lost a stone caused by water retention and became much more nimble. Wallace is one 33% of patients who stay with us and get to return home again.
This year, Hospice Care Week's theme is This Is What It Takes.
It takes £606 for Wallace to stay on our ward for 24 hours and get better again.
You can help ensure that our nurses will always be there for him by supporting our Urgent Appeal — for as little as £3 a month.
