On January 20, 2015, the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) issued a draft guidance for industry entitled, "Medical Device Accessories: Defining Accessories and Classification Pathway for New Accessory Types."1 The draft guidance outlines CDRH's proposal to apply a risk-based approach for determining the classification of accessory devices that would allow certain lower risk accessories to have a different and lower risk classification than their parent devices. The guidance also provides a pathway for marketing certain lower risk accessories for which there is no legally marketed predicate device. Stakeholders may submit comments on the draft guidance until April 20, 2015.2
Under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDCA), medical devices are classified into one of three categories (Class I, II, or III) based on the degree of regulation required to assure that they are safe and effective for their intended uses. The statutory definition of "device" includes "accessories" and "components." FDA's device Quality System Regulation (QSR) defines "components" as items that are included in a finished device.3 Most components are not directly subject to medical device requirements such as establishment registration and device listing or QSR. Accessories, however, are not specifically defined in the regulation, but they are included in the definition of "finished device" and subject to medical device requirements.4 Consequently, FDA developed a longstanding practice of classifying and regulating accessories under the same regulation as the devices with which they are intended to work.
For novel or unique accessories that did not fit within any of the approximately 1,700 generic device-types described in FDA's device classification regulations, FDA established a de novo review process, in which a manufacturer could submit data to establish the safety and effectiveness of the accessory outside of the lengthy and data-intensive premarket approval (PMA) process for higher risk Class III devices. The de novo process created an abbreviated pathway for manufacturers to market accessories that were ineligible for review under the traditional premarket clearance (510(k)) process because there were no predicate devices to which they could be compared.
Although the de novo process created a much-needed path to market for many novel and life-saving devices, the absence of a risk-based regulatory approach for most other accessories sometimes resulted in inconsistent regulatory outcomes for similar products and confusion in the marketplace. CDRH's guidance attempts to address complaints and confusion regarding FDA's one-size-fits-all approach to regulating accessories by defining the term "accessory," announcing a two-pronged test to determine whether a product is an accessory, and proposing a risk-based regulatory framework for classifying and regulating accessories.
The guidance defines a medical device "accessory" as "a device that is intended to support, supplement, and/or augment the performance of one or more parent devices." A "parent device" is "a finished device whose performance is supported, supplemented, and/or augmented by one or more accessories." CDRH then describes a two-pronged test for determining whether a device is an accessory. According to the guidance, CDRH will evaluate whether the article is intended: (1) for use with one or more parent devices; and (2) to support, supplement, and/or augment the performance of one or more parent devices.
According to CDRH, the determination of a product's intended use begins with its labeling and promotional materials. This approach is consistent with FDA's long-standing practice of relying on product claims and labeling to establish the regulatory status of medical devices and other products. The guidance clarifies, however, that CDRH intends to focus on the labeling and promotional materials for the accessory device itself, rather than the parent device as it has in the past.
The guidance further clarifies that devices that do not meet the definition of "accessory" do not become accessories "simply because they may be used in conjunction with a device."5 Rather, it should be clear from the product's labeling and other evidence of use that it is intended to support, supplement or augment a particular device or one or more device-types. CDRH noted, for example, that "a mobile phone that is used as a general platform for applications that include mobile medical applications that are medical devices, or an off-the-shelf computer monitor used to display medical data would not be considered accessories unless they are intended for use with such devices." This is an important clarification, which may avoid potential confusion regarding the regulatory status of certain consumer products or general purpose communication platforms and software that can be configured to work with a medical device, but may not be marketed or intended for this purpose.
The guidance also defines the terms "support," "supplement," and "augment," and describes how these concepts fit within the new risk-based regulatory framework for accessories. According to CDRH, a device "supports" the performance of a parent device if it enables or facilitates the device to perform according to its intended use (e.g., a rechargeable battery intended to operate when paired with an automated external defibrillator (AED)). A device "supplements" the performance of a parent device "if it adds a new function or a new way of using the parent device, without changing the intended use of the parent device" (e.g., a new balloon catheter used to insert an already approved transcatheter heart valve into a smaller diseased artery supplements the parent device's intended use).6 Lastly, a device "augments" the performance of a parent device by enabling the device to perform its intended use more safely or effectively, or "improving the performance of a parent device by enabling it to perform more quickly or improving usability or convenience for the device user" (e.g., a guidewire augments the performance of a bone-cutting instrument by increasing precision of the parent device and reducing the risk to the patient).7
Risk-Based Classification
CDRH's guidance explains that the classification of accessory devices should reflect the risks of the device when used as intended with the corresponding parent device. This approach aligns CDRH's new regulatory policy for accessories with the established risk-based framework that exists for all other medical devices. For example, an accessory to a Class III parent device may pose lower risks that could be mitigated through general controls or general and special controls and thus could be regulated as Class I or Class II. CDRH explained that it will not impute all risks of a parent device to an accessory, but rather, "will evaluate the risks imposed by the accessory's impact on the parent device and any unique risks of the accessory independent of its parent device." The types of regulatory controls necessary to control the risks will determine the regulatory class for accessories.
Accessory Classification through the De Novo Process
CDRH's guidance encourages manufacturers to utilize the de novo classification process under Section 513(f)(2) of the FDCA to request a risk-based classification of accessories that have not been previously classified or approved in an application for a PMA. Manufacturers may utilize this pathway to request a Class I or Class II designation for an accessory. Class III accessories must be approved through the PMA process. It is important to note that the de novo process cannot be used to reclassify an accessory that was previously classified by regulation or order.8 Requests for reclassification or an exemption from premarket clearance requirements are governed by different statutory provisions.9
FDA must make a classification determination by written order within 120 days of the request.10 Appendix 1 of the guidance contains CDRH's recommendations regarding the content and data manufacturers should include in a de novo request for a new type of accessory. It appears that CDRH is already applying these risk-based classification principles and the de novo preview process to recently marketed devices. Within one week of releasing its guidance, CDRH cleared the Dexcom Share Direct Secondary Displays System, which is a mobile medical application (MMA) that allows people with diabetes to automatically and securely share data from a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) with third-parties (e.g., caregivers) in real-time using a mobile device such as a smart phone.11 FDA classified the Dexcom Share Direct Secondary Displays system through the de novoprocess as a Class II, 510(k)-exempt device. FDA classified the MMA as an accessory to the Dexcom CGM System, which is a Class III device. Although FDA's press release does not describe the factors or criteria it applied in assigning a different classification to the MMA, the agency noted that devices like the Dexcom Share were previously available through open source efforts. According to FDA, however, many of the open source devices were not in compliance with regulatory requirements. Prior to this guidance, FDA's decision to assign a different classification to the MMA would have been a departure from its longstanding policy for accessories.
While the accessory guidance and CDRH's recent classification of Dexcom's CGM system accessories offer additional insight into FDA's willingness to consider down classifying accessories that present a lower risk profile than that of the parent device, the policy nevertheless lacks specific details regarding several issues including, but not limited to:
- Validation requirements for claims associated with an accessory;
- How to determine whether an accessory is regulated as part of a system;
- Whether general purpose hardware and software sold with preloaded medical software of a parent device meets FDA's definition of an accessory;
- How CDRH intends to balance and weigh an accessory's risks and potential impacts in different therapeutic settings or device categories;
- Which factors CDRH will consider in determining the extent to which an accessory's risk profile when it is used as a stand-a-lone product should impact the risk assessment when it is used with a parent device; and
- The regulatory and safety impact of interoperability labeling or promotional claims for devices that may be used in conjunction with another device, but do not fit within the accessory definition.
Finally, given CDRH's focus on accessory labeling and promotional materials, manufacturers will need to play close attention to both express and implied claims regarding their accessories, including those made by the manufacturers of the parent device, third party vendors and downstream retailers.

The book of the prophet Jeremiah, chapter 34, Vulgate and King James Version
1 Verbum, quod factum est ad Ieremiam a Domino, quando Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis et omnis exercitus eius universaque regna terrae, quae erant sub potestate manus eius, et omnes populi bellabant contra Ierusalem et contra omnes urbes eius, dicens:
2 "Haec dicit Dominus, Deus Israel: Vade et loquere ad Sedeciam regem Iudae et dices ad eum: Haec dicit Dominus: Ecce ego tradam civitatem hanc in manus regis Babylonis, et succendet eam igni;
3 et tu non effugies de manu eius, sed comprehensione capieris et in manu eius traderis, et oculi tui oculos regis Babylonis videbunt, et os eius cum ore tuo loquetur, et Babylonem introibis.
4 Attamen audi verbum Domini, Sedecia rex Iudae. Haec dicit Dominus ad te: Non morieris in gladio,
5 sed in pace morieris et secundum combustiones patrum tuorum regum priorum, qui fuerunt ante te, sic comburent tibi et "Vae, domine!"plangent te, quia verbum ego locutus sum", dicit Dominus.
6 Et locutus est Ieremias propheta ad Sedeciam regem Iudae universa verba haec in Ierusalem;
7 et exercitus regis Babylonis pugnabat contra Ierusalem et contra omnes civitates Iudae, quae reliquae erant, contra Lachis et contra Azeca: hae enim supererant de civitatibus Iudae urbes munitae.
8 Verbum, quod factum est ad Ieremiam a Domino, postquam percussit rex Sedecias foedus cum omni populo in Ierusalem praedicans eis libertatem,
9 ut dimitteret unusquisque servum suum et unusquisque ancillam suam, Hebraeum et Hebraeam, liberos et nequaquam dominarentur eis, id est in Iudaeo et fratre suo.
10 Audierunt ergo omnes principes et universus populus, qui inierant pactum, ut dimitteret unusquisque servum suum et unusquisque ancillam suam liberos et ultra non dominarentur eis; audierunt igitur et dimiserunt.
11 Et conversi sunt deinceps et retraxerunt servos et ancillas suas, quos dimiserant liberos, et subiugaverunt in famulos et in famulas.
12 Et factum est verbum Domini ad Ieremiam a Domino dicens:
13 "Haec dicit Dominus, Deus Israel: Ego percussi foedus cum patribus vestris in die, qua eduxi eos de terra Aegypti de domo servitutis, dicens:
14 Cum completi fuerint septem anni, dimittat unusquisque fratrem suum Hebraeum, qui venditus est ei, et serviet tibi sex annis, et dimittes eum a te liberum, et non audierunt patres vestri me nec inclinaverunt aurem suam.
15 Et conversi estis vos hodie et fecistis, quod rectum est in oculis meis, ut praedicaretis libertatem unusquisque ad proximum suum; et inistis pactum in conspectu meo in domo, super quam invocatum est nomen meum.
16 Et reversi estis et commaculastis nomen meum et reduxistis unusquisque servum suum et unusquisque ancillam suam, quos dimiseratis, ut essent liberi et suae potestatis, et subiugastis eos, ut sint vobis servi et ancillae.
17 Propterea haec dicit Dominus: Vos non audistis me, ut praedicaretis libertatem unusquisque fratri suo et unusquisque amico suo; ecce ego praedico vobis libertatem, ait Dominus, ad gladium et pestem et famem et dabo vos in commotionem cunctis regnis terrae.
18 Et dabo viros, qui praevaricantur foedus meum et non observaverunt verba foederis, quibus assensi sunt in conspectu meo, sicut vitulum, quem conciderunt in duas partes et transierunt inter divisiones eius,
19 principes Iudae et principes Ierusalem, eunuchi et sacerdotes et omnis populus terrae, qui transierunt inter divisiones vituli;
20 et dabo eos in manu inimicorum suorum et in manu quaerentium animam eorum, et erit morticinum eorum in escam volatilibus caeli et bestiis terrae.
21 Et Sedeciam regem Iudae et principes eius dabo in manus inimicorum suorum et in manus quaerentium animas eorum et in manus exercituum regis Babylonis, qui recesserunt a vobis.
22 Ecce ego praecipio, dicit Dominus, et reducam eos in civitatem hanc; et proeliabuntur adversus eam et capient eam et incendent igni; et civitates Iudae dabo in solitudinem, eo quod non sit habitator".
King James Version
1 The word which came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the earth of his dominion, and all the people, fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities thereof, saying,
2 Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; Go and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah, and tell him, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire:
3 And thou shalt not escape out of his hand, but shalt surely be taken, and delivered into his hand; and thine eyes shall behold the eyes of the king of Babylon, and he shall speak with thee mouth to mouth, and thou shalt go to Babylon.
4 Yet hear the word of the LORD, O Zedekiah king of Judah; Thus saith the LORD of thee, Thou shalt not die by the sword:
5 But thou shalt die in peace: and with the burnings of thy fathers, the former kings which were before thee, so shall they burn odours for thee; and they will lament thee, saying, Ah lord! for I have pronounced the word, saith the LORD.
6 Then Jeremiah the prophet spake all these words unto Zedekiah king of Judah in Jerusalem,
7 When the king of Babylon's army fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Judah that were left, against Lachish, and against Azekah: for these defenced cities remained of the cities of Judah.
8 ¶ This is the word that came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, after that the king Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people which were at Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty unto them;
9 That every man should let his manservant, and every man his maidservant, being an Hebrew or an Hebrewess, go free; that none should serve himself of them, to wit, of a Jew his brother.
10 Now when all the princes, and all the people, which had entered into the covenant, heard that every one should let his manservant, and every one his maidservant, go free, that none should serve themselves of them any more, then they obeyed, and let them go.
11 But afterward they turned, and caused the servants and the handmaids, whom they had let go free, to return, and brought them into subjection for servants and for handmaids.
12 ¶ Therefore the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
13 Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; I made a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondmen, saying,
14 At the end of seven years let ye go every man his brother an Hebrew, which hath been sold unto thee; and when he hath served thee six years, thou shalt let him go free from thee: but your fathers hearkened not unto me, neither inclined their ear.
15 And ye were now turned, and had done right in my sight, in proclaiming liberty every man to his neighbour; and ye had made a covenant before me in the house which is called by my name:
16 But ye turned and polluted my name, and caused every man his servant, and every man his handmaid, whom ye had set at liberty at their pleasure, to return, and brought them into subjection, to be unto you for servants and for handmaids.
17 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Ye have not hearkened unto me, in proclaiming liberty, every one to his brother, and every man to his neighbour: behold, I proclaim a liberty for you, saith the LORD, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will make you to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth.
18 And I will give the men that have transgressed my covenant, which have not performed the words of the covenant which they had made before me, when they cut the calf in twain, and passed between the parts thereof,
19 The princes of Judah, and the princes of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, and the priests, and all the people of the land, which passed between the parts of the calf;
20 I will even give them into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life: and their dead bodies shall be for meat unto the fowls of the heaven, and to the beasts of the earth.
21 And Zedekiah king of Judah and his princes will I give into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life, and into the hand of the king of Babylon's army, which are gone up from you.
22 Behold, I will command, saith the LORD, and cause them to return to this city; and they shall fight against it, and take it, and burn it with fire: and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation without an inhabitant.

John Delaney exclusive: Sepp Blatter will resort to his usual tactic of doling out election promises like confetti - but football is no longer being served under his watch
Over the past 24 hours, the eyes of the world have been on FIFA - and for all of the wrong reasons.
Sadly, it has been clear to everyone that football's world governing body was in need of reform for some time.
It didn't require yesterday's dramatic arrests to confirm deep-rooted and chronic problems, but they should certainly act as a wake-up call for change.Wide-ranging probe that goes right to the heart of the game
That can only come from the representatives who are here to vote in Zurich. It is important that each of us with voting powers does the right thing. And, in my view, that means a change of leadership and with it a series of radical reforms to get back to the values that the world governing body should represent - primarily the promotion and growth of the sport through an open and transparent relationship with its member associations.
I am still sceptical that it will happen, but it should happen, and it is the duty of everyone to do the right thing.
There are simply too many problems with FIFA's governance not to.
Sepp Blatter has been at the helm of FIFA for the past 17 years. Despite saying he wouldn't run for this fifth term, he plans to go ahead. He is clearly blind to the damage that his continued grip is doing to world football.
In that time, he has presided over proven corruption of top officials, vote-buying among FIFA executive committee members, commercial demands that have little to do with the good of the game, a failure to publish the full Garcia report, the awarding of the World Cup to Qatar in the summer of 2022, and the list goes on.
Throughout this, UEFA, the European confederation, has been a champion for good governance, and has shown the way football can be managed positively for everyone involved. If UEFA members were voting, Blatter would be long gone.
National associations across the globe should look to UEFA as an example of what can be achieved with the proper structures and a genuine interest in furthering the development of the sport.
I sincerely hope that other confederations will now follow UEFA's appeal for Sepp Blatter to stand down. Regrettably, Blatter will no doubt resort to his usual tactic of doling out election promises like confetti but football and its interests are no longer being served under his watch.
The time for change is now and it shouldn't need yesterday's arrests to confirm it.

Considering Dwayne Roloson's performance during the past week, the Islanders did little to thank him in last night's 7-2 loss to the Rangers.
After leading the Islanders to three straight wins and being named the NHL's first star of the week, the 41-year-old goaltender was pelted with 52 shots by their rivals at Madison Square Garden.
"He held us in there as long as he could and we let him down big time tonight," center Rob Schremp said. "He's not invincible."
After only 32:08 of play, Roloson had surrendered as many goals (three) as he had against Tampa Bay, New Jersey and Montreal combined in the previous five days.
And it was through little fault of his own, as his team gave up a whopping 36 shots in the first two periods.
In an embarrassing second period, the Islanders were outshot 18-4 and put undue pressure on Roloson by taking two delay-of-game penalties. They managed only four shots each in the second and third periods and gave up Grade-A quality chances on the other end.
"We hung our goalie out to dry," coach Jack Capuano said.
The Rangers scored a pair of goals in the middle frame to snap a first-period tie at 2. Long Island's own Matt Gilroy tallied his second goal of the game at 12:08 and Brian Boyle knuckleballed the puck in for a short-side goal for a 4-2 Rangers lead at 18:21.
Roloson showed signs of fatigue in the third, giving up three goals. Surprisingly, Capuano chose not to pull him.
"Knowing Roli the way I think I do, I thought he'd want to stay in and battle for his team," Capuano said.
Said Roloson, "When you're out there, you don't want to put someone else in that situation."
Roloson has faced at least 35 shots in each of his last four starts.
Backup goaltender Rick DiPietro, who was activated off injured reserve last week after experiencing knee swelling, told Newsday that he was ready to play if necessary.
Roloson hardly could be blamed for the early hole the Islanders found themselves in less than one minute after the puck was dropped at center ice.
Gilroy scored his first goal in more than a year when his shot found Schremp's stick in front of the net 44 seconds into play.
Although Schremp atoned for that goal later in the period, fluttering the puck past goaltender Henrik Lundqvist at 7:51 to pull the Islanders even, the Islanders' play deteriorated in the second and third periods.
The Rangers outshot the Islanders 34-8 in the last 40 minutes.
"What I do know is that we had a few guys that were too casual out there," Capuano said. "We can't have that."

An Interview by Jonathan Fields with Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche
Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche, spritual leader of Shambhala, was recently interviewed by Jonathan Fields for The Good Life Project (www.goodlifeproject.com), which Fields describes as "…about building an extraordinary life, deeper relationships and meaningful bodies of work, businesses and movements. It's about becoming a creator, a leader, a mentor, a giver, a doer. It's about telling a story with your life that you'd want to read and share."
In the wide-ranging interview, the two talk about the Sakyong's childhood and upbringing which combined both traditional Eastern and modern Western education and culture, and being the son and heir to the renowned Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, who is credited as having helped bring Buddhism to the West.
The Sakyong's activities as an author of several best-selling books, a marathon runner and Sakyong, literally meaning "earth protector" in Tibetan, are discussed alongside its connection to the idea of "basic goodness", a theme within the Sakyong's newest book entitled The Shambhala Principle. This prompts a deep discussion of "why we are here and who we are" and the connection of an individual to society.
Enlightened society, leadership, gaining comfort with uncertainty while living with bravery and purpose, and not giving up on the world round out this hour-long interview with Shambhala's Sakyong.

about beams
Hello and a very warm welcome to the BEAMS Arts Festival.
My name is Nicky Ginsberg and I am the President of the Chippendale Creative Precinct and the BEAMS Festival Director.
BEAMS is a flash in the night of colour, form, movement and sound, descending upon the streets of Chippendale to illuminate the creative talent of Sydney.
This multi-disciplinary arts festival showcases work from the whole spectrum of the arts, with creatives coming together in the hundreds to surge the voltage of ideas and inspiration.
For one night only each September, the cutting-edge curatorial emphasis of BEAMS by the Chippendale Creative Precinct provides a scintillating insight into the minds of Sydney's best forward-thinking talent.
Wandering through the art-filled laneways of Chippendale, audiences will experience a night of communal 'enlightenment'. Festivaliers also enjoy the opportunity to directly participate through hands-on art-making, workshops and plein air performances.
With strong support from the City of Sydney and major sponsors Frasers Property Australia and Sekisui House, the fascinating interplay between art and revitalisation in BEAMS continues to develop each year into a bolder and even more daring highlight of the Sydney event calendar.
Nicky Ginsberg – BEAMS Arts Festival Director
Message of Support from the Lord Mayor of Sydney – Clover Moore

The X Directory book is a compilation of kink cards which were found at phone booths between 1984 and 1994 in seedier neighbourhoods of London. The book was republished by artist Matthew Bellosi who made some of the cards appear more visible than in a book. Even though kink cards aren't usually used as a form of inspiration, they show a great composition and how various typography works well on a small artwork. The majority of hardcore and punk bands take inspiration from the 90s unpolished kink cards for their visual identities.

Guide to Buying Slippers
The Slipper Guide
Slippers are quite simply the ultimate comfort footwear. Like a favourite jumper, a pair of slippers has a comforting and warming quality like no other. There are many styles available to choose from in a whole host of colours and materials so you can lounge around home in soft, cosy and comfortable style!
But with so many styles to choose from it can be hard to choose a perfect pair, so here is the breakdown of the main styles:
Mule Slippers
A mule slipper is simply a backless slipper. This is a style that crosses both genders and is a great slipper style for summer. Another advantage of the mule slipper is that it is easy to slip on and off so if you get a pair with a nice sturdy sole it is a great option for nipping in and out of the home, perfect for putting out the bins! In the majority of cases, mule slippers have a closed front, but you can also find open toes women's styles.
Womens Mule Slippers | Mens Mule Slippers | Boys Mule Slippers | Girls Mule Slippers
Bootee Slippers
The bootee slipper, also known as a slipper boot, is a great choice for winter as they are a much warmer style. Typically they are made from materials such as faux fur, knit fabrics, suede, and wool. They are a style that is mainly used for womens and girls slippers, but you can also get some great boys slipper boot styles featuring famous characters such as Batman.
Womens Bootee Slippers | Girls Bootee Slippers
Full Slippers
Full slippers are often called closed slippers. It basically means that the slipper has a heel guard which prevents the slipper from sliding off the foot. A good example of a full slipper is the classic moccasin. The full or closed slipper comes in a range of materials so gives quite a lot of flexibility in terms of choice. If you want a slipper for colder months then go for a fully faux fur lined option, or for a cooler slipper try a ballerina style with a thin textile lining. Similar to mule slippers you can also get a range of sole coverings which give the option for outdoor use also.
Womens Full Slippers | Mens Full Slippers | Boys Full Slippers | Girls Full Slippers
Novelty Slippers
Novelty slippers have become synonymous with Christmas gifts, especially for girls and boys. Many entertainment businesses and film studios will license out their star character branding to be used across many products including slippers. So look out for your kid's favourite TV, cartoon or film character as you are sure to find them on a pair of novelty slippers!
Womens Novelty Slippers | Mens Novelty Slippers | Boys Novelty Slippers | Girls Novelty Slippers
Here at Wynsors we stock a massive range of slippers in a range of style, colours, and materials. So when it comes to slippers take your pick. Choose a style that suits you. They are your slippers so enjoy them!

"Cannot criticise the speed"
About: South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust / Emergency ambulance South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust Emergency ambulance Exeter EX2 7HY
Posted by Similar839 (as ),
Following the death of his mother a friend of mine called the services to let them know. Unfortunately the operator thought that it was a sudden death and triggered both the ambulance service and the police who were very quickly at my friend's house.
I cannot criticize the speed at which the services responded. However, at a time when we hear of ambulance shortages I was surprised that both a responder car and a large ambulance were present and both stayed for the duration. Did they both need to stay?
Response from Laura Martin, Patient Engagement Administrator, Governance, South Western Ambulance Service 2 years ago
Dear Similar839
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. Please pass on my sincere condolences to your friend for the sad loss of their mother.
It is very difficult to respond to your post as I am unable to pin point the incident on the information supplied. However, ambulances are dispatched on the information that is supplied to the call taker. A call to our service is a call for help, and if there is any chance that we may be able to provide that help we will respond.
There could be many reasons for the ambulance crews to stay on scene once a death has been confirmed. This could be anything from the need for the clinical grade of the staff present to complete the necessary paperwork, to the need for them to be present to ensure the welfare of family members and others at the scene. We not only want to give the best possible care to our patients, but also to the people around them who may also need support in such difficult circumstances.
Thank you again, for taking the time to provide feedback on our service.
Kind regards

Southampton sink Bristol Rovers in the FA Cup; Leverkusen go four points clear with Frankfurt demolition
Bristol Rovers 2 – Southampton 3 (FA Cup, November 6, 2009) David Connolly converted Adam Lallana's 63rd-minute cross from six yards and quickly followed up with a low shot from a pass by Michail Antonio. Antonio scored the third himself after another break out of defence in the 70th minute but Rovers replied four minutes later when substitute Darryl Duffy fired in from Jo Kuffour's cross. Jeff Hughes reduced the deficit further in stoppage-time with a cleanly struck spot-kick after Oscar Gobern's foul on Kuffour, but it was too late for Rovers to avoid a sixth successive defeat.
Bayer Leverkusen 4 – Eintracht Frankfurt 0 (Bundesliga, November 6, 2009) Leverkusen scored with just 86 seconds on the clock when striker Stefan Kiessling volleyed in from close range after Frankfurt failed to clear. Stefan Reinartz doubled the lead in the sixth minute with a near-post header before Toni Kroos made it three with a stinging shot from the edge of the box. Leverkusen had to wait until the 86th for substitute Lars Bender to complete the rout.
FC Groningen 4 – Heracles 1 (Eredivise, November 6, 2009) The visitors got their noses in front courtesy of Bas Dost's 15th minute opener. Leandro Bacuna soon levelled and Andreas Granqvist put the home side ahead in the contest for the first time from the penalty spot before halftime. Their onslaught continued after the break with a late brace from Slovenia international Tim Matavz adding the icing on the cake.

The real start of the Reagan Era was 1983, not 1981. It's just not right to blame Reagan's tax cuts for all of Carter's policies still in place in the beginning of Reagan's term.
Look at the charts above and see if you don't think this is a period of outstanding economic growth. The charts are the broadest measures of economic performance and are available to anyone. They paint the correct picture of the effects of the Reagan tax rate cuts.
The chart on top shows quarterly real economic growth rates that rocketed as soon as the tax cuts went into effect. Average annual real GDP growth for the years 1983 through 1989 was 4.4%. The chart on the bottom shows the same story with employment, with the employment-to-population ratio cratering as the tax cuts went in effect before beginning a six percentage point climb through 1990.
I think these two charts say it all.
Honestly, what do you think the U.S. economy would look like today if, for the whole period of 1980 through 2015, we had kept the highest marginal income tax rate at 70% starting at $108,300 of income, a capital gains tax rate on nominal capital gains at 45% and an income tax that started out at $2,300 with a rate of 14%?

It may not be the drive that is bad. What type of HD are you using? green HD's are slow and can give such a problem or maybe some other hardware or software issue may be causing you problems. I saw in your Device Manager picture that one piece of hardware is not correctly detected. Make sure you have the newest drivers for you hardware and chipset, don't use the drivers on the CD that comes with your hardware, go directly to the hardware maker and download the newest. It could also be BIO settings since this is a new build, I doubt that your DVD is bad so check things over starting with your BIOs.

WORCESTER — Each of this year's incumbent School Committee candidates will enter the race with campaign money left over from the 2011 race, although some have considerably more than others.
John F. Monfredo, who finished 2011 with the most money on hand, still has $4,583 but owes himself $1,500.
Donna M. Colorio, who was the biggest spender in the 2011 race and joined the committee after a recount, still had $3,791.59 at the end of 2012, according to campaign finance data she filed with the city. She still owed a restaurant $145.50, which would bring her total to $3,646.09.
Dianna L. Biancheria, who ran for state representative last year, ended last year with $876.89 in the bank, although she still owed Verizon $138, which would bring her total down to $738.89. Her most recent campaign finance account is at the state level, although it can transfer to the city race, according to city elections staff.
Her total was slightly less than the $787.71 Jack L. Foley had at the end of the year.
Brian A. O'Connell had $708.12 left at the end of last year, although he owed himself $8,894.76 for campaign expenses dating back to 1983.
Tracy O'Connell Novick had just $107.41 left at the end of last year.
Hilda Ramirez, who was a challenger in 2011 just as she is this year, did not have any money left over from that year. In fact, she finished the year in the red.
All of the candidates, including two other challengers, Douglas F. Arbetter and Robert J. Cohane, will have to file campaign finance reports eight days before the Nov. 5 election and again at the end of the year.

Sportsmanship before score
CBC boys have once represented their College with great sportsmanship and personal excellence at this year's ACC Lightning Carnivals.
Held on Monday and Wednesday of this week, the Carnivals provide all boys from Years 7 to 9 the opportunity to play Soccer, AFL, Rugby, Hockey and Frisbee, in a fun and relaxed environment.
The focus of Lightning Carnivals is participation and sportsmanship, not the score. CBC's athletes yet again represented the College with distinction, very clearly understanding the message of the day.
Year 11 Physical Education Studies students were there to lend a hand on the day, coaching teams and gaining important practical experience, as they work towards a Certificate II in Physical Recreation.
The senior boys were impeccable role models for the younger gentlemen.

text: Got a call today from the doctor that has been trying to diagnose Ranger's stomach issues. She has stomach pain after every meal. She drinks apple juice to help the pain go away, and has a medicine that she puts under her tongue that is suppose to help too. The doctor had an ultrasound done. They found a growth on her liver. They are going to do more blood tests and an MRI to try to find out what it is. I told her they may be zeroing in on her troubles and what they told me and now she is stressing really bad. She is having anxiety issues. Also, she was suppose to graduate to a cane after being in a wheel chair for 4 months and on a walker for 7 months, but the cane that another GTer was going to make for her is not going to be available after all.

As part of China's One Belt, One Road (OBOR) initiative, CPEC is designed to promote regional connectivity among Pakistan, China, and Eurasia.1 CPEC is bound to have geopolitical implications for Pakistan and the broader region, especially given the scale of the proposed investments and its connection to OBOR. 2 For Pakistan, this corridor is viewed as a symbol of the indomitable relationship it shares with China.

This plump black shemale came over and told me how much she wanted to show me a good time. I asked her about her talents and she told me that she loves to suck cock. Well, what shemale doesn't like to suck cock, right? She told me that she loves to take it in the ass and confessed about once taking two cocks at once. I couldn't believe my ears but it was true. In this scene, we get to see her masturbate and tell us about her sex stories.

I believe it is running along with my Launcher Pro and it is causing it to bog down. Thanks in advance for any advice.

Croatia claims world's largest pair of jeans
A pair of jeans the size of six tennis courts, stitched together from thousands donated for charity, should be recognised by Guinness World Records as the biggest anywhere, organisers say.
"We've made the world's largest pair of jeans," the Cockta Jeans Fashion project said on its website.
"People were bringing in their old jeans... and sponsors were immediately giving money for humanitarian purposes," project head Boris Juric said.
The denims were put on display in Croatia's capital Zagreb over the weekend after they were assembled from 8,023 unwanted pairs and auctioned off over the past few months.
They have a leg length of 45 metres and a total width of 34 metres and were sewn together in a local factory.
For each pair of donated jeans, the project paid seven kunas ($1.60) to a local association providing therapy to disabled people.

It seems very likely that with the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) being fully impelemented and ingrained within society, that big business may actually turn against the Republicans for trying to repeal the law.
As part of the cost-sharing reduction, the federal government pays part of the premium for those whose income is up to two and a half times the poverty threshold ($29,175 for an individual). The Congressional Budget Office estimates that these payments could equal as much as $175 billion over the next 10 years. These payments are at issue in the Boehner lawsuit, as well as a case that is currently at the Supreme Court of the United States.
Both of these cases could directly affect health insurance companies' bottom lines.

NEW YORK, July 17 (Reuters) - U.S. stocks hit session lows on Thursday following news of a Malaysian Airlines jet crash near the Ukraine-Russia border.
Malaysia Airlines said it lost contact with a passenger jet that took off from Amsterdam earlier in the day and was headed to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia's capital.
Airline stocks were hit by the news, with the Arca Airline index down 1.6 percent.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell 47.2 points or 0.28 percent, to 17,091, the S&P 500 lost 9.25 points or 0.47 percent, to 1,972.32 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 28.81 points or 0.65 percent, to 4,397.16.

The $3 Beauty Must-Have/
Loofah? Nah. Sponge? Please. Salux Nylon Japanese Beauty Skin Bath Wash Cloth/Towel? Yes! Ever since I can remember, I've used one of these Japanese washcloths during bath time. My mom bought them at the little Japanese goods store where I grew up. So, while other eight-year-olds were scrubbing with their Strawberry Shortcake or Rainbow Bright towels, I was exfoliating my skin daily with this textured cloth made out of nylon and polyester.
The Salux measures 11" by 35", so it's more than long enough to scrub your entire back (admit it, there's that one spot in the middle that's probably really dirty). I've used it with all kinds of soaps -- gels, bar, body wash -- and it turns everything into an ample foamy lather. And a bonus for you germaphobes: the Salux is super light and porous, which means it dries fast, leaving no chance for nasty bacteria to grow.
At only $3.25 it's a beauty must-have, and you get your choice of yellow, pink or blue. With daily use, your skin will feel silky and smooth. I can't tell you how many times my skin has been compared to butter. Seriously, I've lost count.

The White City
Arequipa Travel Blog› entry 16 of 36 › view all entries
Peru´s second biggest city lives up to its reputation for beauty - it will sate any architecture buff or snap happy photographer. Many buildings are made from silla, white volcanic rock from the nearby volcanoes, of which there are 4. El Misti is the highest volcano at over 5000m, and still active. From the main plaza, you can see lovely white buildings and churches, colonial architecture and the volcanoes looming in the distance - quite a spectacular presence. There are many more tourists here than anywhere I´ve been in Peru, except Lima of course, so it´s something of a shock/relief not to be stared at (too much) as I walk down the street.
There are quite a few things to keep the idle traveller occupied here, including the Santa Catalina Monastery - basically a city within a city. At 25 soles entry, it´s the most expensive sightseeing thing I´ve done in Peru so far, and I had to think about whether it was worth it, but I am glad I went. You wander around the narrow paved streets between the nuns´ quarters; all the walls are painted bright blue or red, or made of silla, so the contrast of colours is beautiful... definitely a photographer´s dream. You can peer into little dark, cold rooms where the nuns used to sleep or pray, their kitchens, bathing areas and communal areas. It´s very peaceful and you can feel the sense of history overwhelm you. They have a big room, shaped like a cross, which houses many religious paintings as well as a pictorial story of Santa Catalina´s life, which is interesting in itself - she was very pious from a young age and had visions and encounters with God. On a different note, I saw the cutest chubby guinea pigs in a hutch in one of the quarters... perhaps they´re there to feed the nuns who still currently live in the monastery?
Arequipa is also famous for Juanita, a young girl who was found frozen on top of one of the nearby mountains in the 1990s. She´s not technically a mummy, as her hair, skin and internal organs have been preserved due to the ice, although she´s known as the Ice Mummy. For 15 soles, you get to watch a National Geographic video about her discovery, and a guided tour around the museum which houses artefacts found in the tomb, like ceramics, little metal sculptures and other offerings to the gods. And of course, Juanita herself, kept frozen at -20 degrees. The Incas would choose only the most beautiful children from the most noble families as sacrifices to the gods when they thought the gods were angry (ie. when the volcanoes started erupting). Juanita was around 12-14 years old when she was sacrificed - killed by a blow to the head. It´s quite fascinating to see her and know she´s frozen - her hands appear almost normal, alive... and she´s more than 500 years old. Not creepy, just amazing.
There are several cinemas, a theatre (there´s going to be a production of Grease - in Spanish - at the theatre! I wish I was here to see it!) and a contemporary art museum, which I haven´t yet visited. I´ve been wanting to go on the 3-day trek into the Colca Canyon which has been put back twice now due to not enough people in the group, but I´m assured it will go tomorrow (Wednesday). I´m eager to stick around in Arequipa for the weekend to see how this place parties. Although I probably don´t have to go out of my hostel to do that, seeing as it has its own bar, Twister, giant jenga (2¨ x 4¨ wooden blocks - we managed to get it up to 5´ before it fell spectacularly) and plenty of communal areas.
If I wasn´t on a tight time budget, I would consider staying in Arequipa and working at the hostel - you don´t get paid but you stay there for free and get cheap and sometimes free food and drink. I feel Arequipa has a lot to offer and you can sense a touch of cosmopolitanism here (bear in mind I´ve come from much less touristy areas!) - there are plenty of cafés, that serve real coffee, and even a Govinda´s to cater for the vegetarians. I´ve even seen a sushi bar and have heard there´s a Turkish place that sells felafel. Guess what I´m having for lunch.

We've officially hit that point in winter where I just want to curl up on the couch with a bowl of something hot and delicious, and binge-watch Netflix until spring. Please don't make me get up or go outside. I'm in full-blown hibernation mode now. Bring on the comfort food and reruns!
As far as I'm concerned, nothing beats a hot, creamy bowl of soup for winter hibernation food. This soup fit the bill so nicely: rich and creamy with a delicious tomato base, plus cheesy tortellini and sausage. Look, I even tossed some spinach in, to make my mother proud!
This hearty tomato goodness is so incredibly yummy, and perfect for a chilly winter night. I happen to think it is best enjoyed with reruns of "Brooklyn Nine-Nine," a mug of hot chocolate, and the company of someone who finds Andy Samberg just as hilarious as you do. Bonus points if that someone won't make fun of you if you laugh too hard and spill soup on your pajama pants.
You'll start off by cooking some onion, garlic, and smoked sausage together. Then add Hunt's petite diced tomatoes (my favorite because they are so juicy and taste so fresh), tomato sauce, and a bit of water. Bring to a boil and stir in your tortellini, then add some fresh chopped spinach. A stir of cream and you're good to go.
This soup comes together so quickly and tastes just incredible. I love how thick and creamy it is. If you're concerned about calories, feel free to use half-and-half instead of the heavy cream to lighten it up a bit. But I say, hey, we're in the thick of winter. It's cream all the way from here until May.
Creamy Tomato Tortellini Soup
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
13 oz. smoked sausage, halved and sliced
2 14-oz. cans Hunt's Petite Diced Tomatoes
1 8-oz. can tomato sauce
1 1/2 cups water
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons salt
1 19-oz. package frozen cheese tortellini
3 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
Pour olive oil into a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic, and sausage, and saute until onion is translucent and sausage is browned. Add diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, water, and spices. Heat and stir until simmering, then add frozen tortellini. When tortellini is cooked through, stir in the spinach and cook just until wilted. Add cream and stir to heat through; do not boil. Remove from heat and serve.
ConAgra Foods products can be found in 99 percent of American households, and include many iconic brands such as Hunt's, Hebrew National, Swiss Miss, Manwich, PAM Cooking Spray, and many more.

RTE Concert Orchestra voted world's favourite in Bachtrack poll
Ireland's RTE Concert Orchestra has been voted the world's favourite in a global poll of audiences.
The ensemble took a quarter of the votes in the international ballot organised by classical music database Bachtrack.
Household names who helped the popular musicians to double the backing of their nearest rival included Paul Brady, Eleanor McEvoy, Tara Erraught, Brian Kennedy and Jack Lukeman.
But general manager Anthony Long said the most impressive show of support was from the orchestra's audience, who took to social media to help spread the word.
"Over the last three years, Bachtrack's poll of favourite orchestras and conductors has established itself as a barometer of how orchestras connect with their audiences and public," he said.
"This amazing result demonstrates how privileged we are to have such massive support from our public, coming as we do from a small country such as Ireland."
The RTE Concert Orchestra beat off competition from famous rivals the Berlin Philharmonic, Royal Concertgebouw, the London Symphony Orchestra and the Academy of St Martin in the Fields.
Votes for the Irish musicians came from as far afield as Europe, North America, Australia, the United Arab Emirates and the Philippines.
The orchestra played to almost 100,000 people across Ireland last year.
As well as classical, jazz and traditional concerts, it has performed at screenings of popular films such as the Lord Of The Rings trilogy and Gladiator.

Discussion in 'Wii - Hacking' started by iron1977, Jun 9, 2012.
i have a softmod wii in 4.2 and i like to update to 4.3 how i do that
Use ModMii; the link is in my signature.
Thank you
question if I give 4.2 to 4.3 update lose all already installed channels
no u won't lose anything
btw, it's pointless to update from 4.2 or 4.3, u gain nothing in doing it. The only change it makes is you get to see 4.3 instead of 4.2 in the wii settings menu.
I'm so lazy tonight that I don't even feel like writing out all the negative affects you neglected to mention, lol. You could probably just google my name and find a billion posts where I have listed them.

The Elephant in our Garden (excerpt)
by Peter Dunne
When I first saw the elephant hanging from the the tree,
I must confess that it startled me.
"What are you doing there and how long will you stay?"
I enquired of the elephant to hear what he'd say.
"I'm an arboreal pachyderm, small and compact,
And I've chosen this tree to make up for its lack
Of an elephant."
