Optional System One 60 Series Heated Tube Humidifier with Heated Tube
The optional System One 60 Series Heated Tube Humidifier with Heated Tube has been redesigned to increase surface area for greater humidification output. The humidifier comes packaged with the Heated Tube which easily snaps on and off the humidifier port.
By adding the Heated Tube option to their breakthrough System One Humidity System, Philips Respironics has maximized comfort while managing rainout and potential water damage. The level of relative humidity delivered to the mask is adjusted by analyzing the ambient room temperature and machine airflow. The slim 15mm Heated Tube maintains the desired temperature evenly from the machine to the mask.
Use the on-screen menu to select one of three available levels of relative humidity (70, 80 or 90 percent). Next, adjust the control dial to choose from 5 levels of heated tube temperature, ranging from 4 to 16 degrees above room temperature. The optimum humidification level at the mask is easy to maintain when using this humidification assembly.
The System One Dry Box technology reduces the chance of water damage to the CPAP. Unique design features prevent water from exiting the chamber and entering the machine and a center air outlet port uses a one way valve. This location on the top of the chamber helps to minimize total water displacement. If water were to escape the chamber it is trapped by the Dry Box.
Smart Technology Modes
The smart technology of Auto-Trial Mode and CPAP-Check Mode offer up to 30 nights of auto adjusting capability. During that period of use the system functions as an Auto CPAP delivering an adaptive pressure on a breath by breath basis. Following the set time of the Auto-Trial mode, the machine functions as a CPAP delivering the pressure that the patient was at or below 90% of the time.
The CPAP-Check mode continuously verifies pressure requirements and makes adjustments after every 30 hours of use providing the user with more effective pressure levels over time. An Auto-Trial mode must be a minimum of 3 nights in length. The entire available 30 nights of Auto-Trial do not need to be used continuously. Visit the "Important Tips" tab of this product page to read an example of the Auto-Trial and CPAP-Check modes.
PLEASE NOTE: This is NOT an Auto CPAP Machine. It functions as an Auto CPAP during Auto-Trial Mode and switches to CPAP mode during CPAP-Check mode.
C-Flex Plus Pressure Relief
Respironics was the pioneer in offering machines with pressure relief to make breathing with a CPAP more natural by reducing the pressure during exhalation. C-Flex Plus technology takes C-Flex a step further by softening the transition between inhalation and exhalation.
System One Resistance Control
Phillips Respironics developed System One Resistance Control which allows their machines to reach optimal pressure by using a numbering system that allows the CPAP device to recognize a mask that is used with treatment. It achieves accuracy and reliability by instructing the device to compensate for the specific mask type.
On Screen Data
Sleep data is available on the display screen of the 60 Series Pro. See the Apnea/Hypopnea Index, leak rate as well as the 7 and 30 day average pressure readings. Data is stored in both an on-board memory and a generic SD memory card.

PR System One Humidifier Modes PR System One REMstar 60 machines version 1.22 or higher has two humidification modes:
- Classic Humidification
- System One Humidification
Version Note: To determine the version of software installed on a PR System One REMStar 60 machine, unplug the machine and plug it back into an outlet. The version is displayed on the screen when the unit is first plugged into an outlet. The humidification settings are displayed only when a PR System One Heated Humidifier is attached to the machine.
Classic Mode Humidification
The Classic mode of humidification allows the CPAP user to control the heat setting on the humidifier. The user will select "Classic" mode settings C1,C2, C3, C4 or C5. The "C" in front of the humidification setting indicates "Classic". C1 is the lowest level of humidification and C5 is the highest level of humidification.
Please Note: If the PR System One Heated Tube for 60 Series Machines is attached to the humidifier the Classic mode humidification will not be offered, only System One Humidification mode. To use the Classic mode of humidification attach a non-heated tube to the humidifier.
System One Humidification Mode
The System One Humidification uses the technology of the system to set the level of humidification delivered. The machine makes the decision based on the humidity present in the room air. The CPAP user decides how much they want to receive. A setting of 1 delivers the lowest humidity level and a setting of 5 delivers the highest level. The humidification setting will show 1 - 5. The letter "C" will NOT precede the number.
Passover Humidification, Heat Off
To turn the heated humidifier off, set the humidifier to zero "0". The air from the machine will pass over the water in the chamber acting as a passover Humidifier.
Setting the Humidification Mode and Level:
- The humidifier menu will only show when the humidifier is attached to the machine.
- Using the wheel on the machine, select "Setup" menu.
- Scroll down the menu offerings to locate: "SYSTEM ONE humidification".
- Set to "On" to allow the technology of the machine to set the amount of humidification delivered to the system based on the setting of 1 -5. When in the SYSTEM ONE humidification mode there is no letter indicator next to the number.
- Set to "Off" to control the heat setting manually. The letter "C" is displayed in front of the humidification number to indicate "Classic". C1 is the lowest heat setting and C5 is the highest heat level.
- Set the humidification level by adjusting the number to the right of "Humidifier", the menu item below SYSTEM ONE humidification. 1 is the least and 5 is the most humidification.
Power Supply and DC Cable Compatibility TipsPlease Note: If the 60 Series Pro CPAP machine is purchased individually it will include a 60 Watt power supply. If the 60 Series Pro CPAP machine is purchased with the heated tube humidifier and heated tube, it will include an 80 Watt power supply. The 60 Watt power supply will not power the heated tube. If using the Heated Tube Humidifier and Heated Tube, the 80 Watt power supply must be used to successfully heat the tube. The 60 watt supply weighs 10.95 oz and is 4.5" L x 2.75" W x 3" H with the cord wrapped around. The 80 watt supply weighs 1 lb 3 oz and is 6" L x 2.75" W x 3.25" H with the cord wrapped around.
The External 80 Watt Power Supply for PR System One REMstar 60 Series Machines is NOT compatible with other versions of PR System One machines. The connection peg that plugs into a PR System One REMStar 60 Series machine is a specific size and will fit only this machine. The external power supply for this machine has different specifications than the External Power Supply for PR System One REMstar CPAP and BiPAP Machines used with other machines in the Philips Respironics lines. The Power Cord that plugs the external power supply into the wall outlet is the same for all System One Machines.
The Shielded DC Cord for PR System One 60 Series Machines that is compatible with PR System One 60 Series Machines works ONLY PR System One 60 Series Machines. The 12 Volt DC Power Cord (connects CPAP to cigarette lighter socket) used with other PR System One machines IS NOT compatible with PR System One 60 Series Machines.
Hose Information
The PR System One Heated Tube for 60 Series Machines is a heated hose that integrates with the 60 Series Heated Humidifier. The heated tube connects to electrical ports on the humidifier.
Not using the Heated Humidifier? The heated tube can still be used by connecting to ports on the air outlet on the side of the machine. In this configuration, the hose will not heat and will act as a standard hose.
In addition to this heated tube that works with the System One 60 Series Machines, a traditional CPAP hose can be used. Set the size of hose you will be using in the Set Up Menu under "Tubing Type". Select either 15 mm or 22 mm depending on the size tube being used.
Identifying PR System One REMStar 60 Series Machines
There are physical characteristics which identify a PR System One REMStar 60 Series Machine. The humidifier capable of being used with the heated tube cannot physically be connected to any other versions of machine in the PR System One line. The heated tube is 72 inches in length.
- Color
- PR System One REMStar 60 Series Machines are charcoal gray with metallic silver side and instrument panels.
- Other PR System One units are dark gray with ivory colored side and instrument panels.
- Branding
- PR System One REMStar 60 Series Machines have the words "System One" in raised or embossed letters stamped in silver on both the machine and humidifier.
- Other PR System One units do not have raised lettering, the branding information is painted onto the unit.
- Machine and Humidifier Connections
- PR System One REMStar 60 Series Machine have a 6 pin connection between the machine and humidifier.
- Other PR System One Units have a 4 pin connection between the machine and humidifier
- PR System One REMStar 60 Series Machines have a mechanical connection between the machine and humidifier
- Other PR System One Units have 2 tabs on the humidifier that fit into 2 slots on the machine.
- Model Number Reference
- The label on the bottom of the machine lists the part number. For instance, the label on the bottom of the PR System One REMStar 60 Series Auto CPAP lists: "REMStar Auto"; "REF" of 560P; and Serial Number identified by "SN". The number 560 references the part number of the machine.
- The label on the bottom of other versions of System One machines lists: Machine name; "REF" that does not have the number "6" in the second position from the left; and Serial Number identified by "SN". For example the label on the bottom of a PR System One REMstar Auto CPAP Machine with A-Flex lists "REMStar Auto" and "REF" of 550P. The number 550 references the part number of the machine.
Optional System One 60 Series Heated Tube Set-Up
Philips Respironics provides these instructions for setting up the heated tube: System One 60 Series Heated Tube Set-Up
Example of Auto-Trial and CPAP-Check Modes:
The PR System One 60 Series Pro was set in Auto-Trial mode for 5 nights of use. During that time the machine functioned as an auto-titrating machine, adjusting the pressure breath by breath basis, all night long. At the end of 5 nights of use the Auto-Trial mode ended and, in this example, the ideal pressure was 10 cm/H2O. The machine moved into the CPAP-Check mode of operation delivering a pressure of 10 cm/H2O. After 30 hours of use the CPAP-Check mode data indicated the pressure needed to be raised. The machine would automatically change the pressure to 11 cm/H2O. Alternately, if the pressure needed to be lowered, the machine would automatically change to 9 cm/H2O. If no pressure adjustment was needed, the pressure would stay at 10 cm/H2O. The CPAP-Check mode would continue every 30 hours to monitor and adjust the pressure as needed. However, the pressure would not be raised or lowered more than 3 cm/H2O off the original pressure. Using the original pressure of 10cm/H2O, the machine would not be lowered below 7 cm/H2O and would not be raised above 13 cm/H2O.
If the machine is placed back into Auto-Trial mode mode to determine a new ideal pressure, the CPAP-Check mode would monitor and change pressure as needed every 30 hours, staying within 3 cm/H2O of the new ideal pressure.
The machine does not need to be set on CPAP-Check mode, it will go into that mode automatically following Auto-Trial mode. It can be placed on straight CPAP mode, where no pressure checks or adjustments are made.
What is the Respiratory Distress Index? The RDI is used to determine the severity of sleep apnea. The index value is determined based on the number of apneas, hypopneas, and respiratory event-related arousal (RERAs) that occur per hour of sleep.

CPAP Video & FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
- What is CPAP therapy?
- CPAP stands for Continuous Positive Airway Pressure. CPAP therapy is the most commonly recommended, and the most effective, treatment for obstructive sleep apnea.
A CPAP machine provides air at a constant prescribed pressure. The air is delivered to the person through a tube and a CPAP mask. CPAP therapy provides a constant airflow which keeps the airway open so uninterrupted breathing is maintained during sleep. The air stream eliminates Sleep Apnea events and allows the person to get a restful sleep.
The level of air pressure required to maintain your airway is determined during your sleep study. Your doctor will write a prescription for a CPAP machine set at that pressure.
CPAP therapy is delivered through a nasal mask that seals around the nose, nasal pillows which seal at the nasal opening, or nasal prong masks that seal inside the nares. Full face masks are available for a person who breathes through both the nose and mouth. Many innovative and comfortable options are available and advances in the delivery of CPAP therapy are continually occurring.
For instance: Some machines offer a comfort feature such as FLEX or EPR technology. It provides exhalation relief, a slight drop in pressure at the time of exhalation to help make therapy more natural. APAP, BiPAP and BiLevel machines offer various levels of pressure throughout the night.

- What comes with my machine?
- Machines come with a six foot hose, power cord, at least one filter, and manuals. Most manufacturers include a carrying case which is designed specifically for their equipment. CPAP, APAP, and BiPAP machines do not come with a delivery system or mask. CPAP masks must be purchased separately.
To see the list of what specifically comes with each machine, you can Browse for a machine. Then on the product page, click the "Specs" tab to see a full list of what comes with the machine.
- What maintenance is required on machines?
- The only care a CPAP, APAP or BiPAP machine requires is to clean or change the filters at the air intake. This keeps the internal parts from accumulating dust. Fine paper filters should be changed out every 30 days, or when they appear soiled. Foam washable filters should be rinsed with clear running water once a week, allowed to air dry, and reinserted.
Here are some other suggested actions to care for your machine:
- Keep the area around your machine clean by removing any dust from the area to improve the air quality delivered to your machine and to you.
- Keep the air intake of the machine unblocked. Curtains, bedding, and papers can easily block the air intake of your machine, reducing the airflow.
- If a humidifier is used with your therapy, do not pick up the machine with the humidifier attached. With most machines it is easy to spill water from the humidifier chamber into the machine causing damage. Manufacturer warranties are voided by water damage to the machine. To avoid this, remove the chamber from the humidifier and then remove the humidifier from the machine rather than transporting them together.
- If a humidifier is used, empty the water from the chamber every morning. Accidents happen. If a family pet or family member moves the machine and humidifier with water in the chamber it is more likely that water could be spilled into your machine. Water damage to a machine voids the manufacturer warranty.
- Are prescriptions required for mask, machine, humidifier, and EPAP purchases?
Yes. Federal law requires we have a valid prescription on file before we ship your mask, machine, humidifier, or EPAP therapy, including Provent and Bongo RX. You will also need a prescription to purchase the Nightbalance POSA device.
We provide many easy ways to get your prescription:
- We can request your prescription for you! When you checkout, just let us know you would like us to request your prescription, or you can log into your account to have us request your prescription.
- Fax your prescription to our toll-free fax number: 866.353.2727, or our international fax number: 713.541.7377
- Email your prescription to email@example.com
- Upload your prescription in your account, under the Prescriptions Section
- Ask your doctor to fill out our prescription form. We have both a standard prescription form and an EPAP prescription form.

- Do all CPAPs use filters?
- Yes, all CPAPs use at least one filter that is usually a type of foam material and washable. Some CPAPs offer finer filtration with the addition of a disposable paper filter.
Cleaning and changing filters is the only maintenance required for a CPAP machine.
The filters are located at the back of the machine at the air intake.
- How often should I clean my filters?
- Washable foam filters should be cleaned as soon as they become discolored. Manufacturers recommend foam filters be rinsed weekly under clear running water and allowed to air dry before being reinstalled in the machine. If the machine is used in a very dusty environment, the foam filter may require more frequent cleaning.
Disposable filters and bacteria filters are not intended to be cleaned but rather changed out, disposing of the used filter. Manufacturers recommend changing the disposable filter once a month, more frequently if used in a very dusty environment.
- Why might I prefer an APAP machine?
- Some CPAP users find it more pleasant to breathe with an APAP than with CPAP. The pressure delivered by an APAP machine automatically changes as needed to deliver the minimal pressure required to maintain the airway. The pressure delivered by a CPAP machine is set to a single pressure, the highest necessary to keep the airway open as determined during the sleep study. This is the case even when the higher pressure is needed only a fraction of the time.

- What is ramp?
- The ramp button on a machine is a feature that allows for a gradual pressure build-up to your prescribed pressure. The feature is enjoyed by those with high pressures because it eases up to their pressure.
- What is exhalation relief?
- Exhalation relief is a comfort feature which reduces the air flow at the time of exhalation, making the breathing process more natural.
The following are the different types of exhalation relief names by manufacturer.
- Philips Respironics = C-Flex, C-Flex+, A-Flex and Bi-Flex
- Resmed = EPR (Expiratory Pressure Relief)
- 3B Medical = RESlex
- Apex Medical = PVA (Pressure Variation Algorithm) Pressure Relief
- Curative Medical = EUT (Expiratory Unloading Technology)
- DeVilbiss = SmartFlex
- Fisher & Paykel = SensAwake Technology
- Human Design Medical = Z-Breathe
- Somnetics = EZEX
Here are some machines with an exhalation relief feature:

- What is the difference between C-Flex and A-flex?
- C-flex drops the pressure on exhale only. A-flex drops the pressure on the exhale but also helps with the transition from inhale to exhale.
- What is C-Flex?
- C-Flex is a pressure relief feature that makes breathing back against CPAP pressure easier to do by reducing the pressure at the beginning of exhalation and returning to therapeutic pressure just before inhalation. Independent studies conducted by leading universities indicate that patient comfort, and therefore, patient CPAP compliance, is higher with machines that use C-Flex. C-Flex is a technology invented by Respironics, is proprietary, and is not available on other brands of CPAP machines.
An example of a machine with C-Flex technology is the DreamStation CPAP Machine.

- What is C-Flex+?
- C-Flex+ is an improved pressure relief technology over the previous C-Flex technology. Like C-Flex, C-Flex+ reduces the pressure at the beginning of exhalation. Like A-Flex, C-Flex+ softens the pressure transition from inhalation to exhalation to provide additional comfort in fixed-CPAP mode.

Here are some machines with C-Flex+:
PR System One REMStar 60 Series Pro CPAP Machine with Bluetooth

- How do I change the pressure setting of my machine?
- When a physician orders a pressure change, or a patient moves to an area with a very different altitude and does not have an altitude compensating machine, there are a number of ways to ensure you are receiving CPAP therapy at the correct pressure.
Sleep laboratories and sleep disorder centers may be willing to make this pressure change. Just call a local hospital or ask your physician to recommend a sleep lab. Be sure to take your prescription.
A second way is to do it yourself. We sell manometers that are very portable, accurate, and simple to use. All the machines we sell come with instructions on how to set pressure to physician orders. Most patients have little trouble doing this themselves. If you need help we can talk you through the procedure. Contact us by phone at 1-800-356-5221.
Gauge Manometer (for pressure measurements)
Fisher and Paykel Water Column CPAP Manometer with HC325 Chamber
A third option is to ship the machine to us with the new prescription. We will set it and ship it back.
It is the law and good common sense to run all sleep disorder devices at the prescribed pressure. If you think your prescribed pressure is wrong, talk to your physician.
- What does a CPAP prescription need to say?
- A CPAP prescription must contain all of the following information:
- One of the following words or phrases: "CPAP" or "Continuous Positive Airway Pressure"
- Your physician's contact information
- Your physician's signature
- The patient's full name
- Your specific pressure setting:
- Example: 9 CM/H2O
- Example: 9
- Example: 14 CM/H2O
- Example: 14

Summer Tips in Sweden
Summer is one of the most anticipated times of the year and for good reason! The days are longer and people are generally in a happier mood. There's a positive energy and atmosphere (stämning) all around! Here's a few things you can do to enjoy the summer in Sweden.
Eat Ice Cream
Summer has just begun and I have already lost track of how many ice creams I've had. It feels like there's an ice cream stand on every street corner with happy customers tempting you with their purchases. It doesn't usually take long for me to become one of these customers too. Your ice cream order can be very customized. Just be aware of the costs because they can stack up if you get too excited! If you're looking for cheaper alternatives, you could always go to a convenience store and buy a ice cream or popsicle from the freezer and they also hit the spot.
Have a Picnic or BBQ
The weather in Sweden can be a little unstable but when the weather cooperates, you should consider taking advantage of it by having a picnic or BBQ party (grillfest). Food, nature and good company is a great combination that is sure to bring a smile on anyone's face. For those with a playful side, you can bring out a frisbee, ball or maybe try playing Kubb, a lawn game you play with wooden blocks that's kind of a combination of bowling and horseshoe.
Enjoy the Nature
You're never too far from nature in Sweden. There are parks within cities or you can always go outside the city for a little more untouched nature. Sweden has Allemansrätten or "the everyman's right" which allows everyone to enjoy the Swedish nature freely. You can hike on a trail, pick flower or berries, go swimming or just enjoy a walk in the park.
Enjoy a Fika or Meal Outdoors
Many cafes and restaurants have outdoor seating during the summer so you can enjoy a fika break and being outdoors at the same time. Invite a friend to catch up with or just bring a book and enjoy your company. Eating out in Sweden can get quite expensive but it's nice to treat yourself once in awhile!
Visit the Archipelagos
The islands along Sweden's coastline are really something. It's not uncommon in Sweden to have a summer house (sommarstuga) away from the city and near the water. It's a great way to relax and slow down from the stress of everyday life. There are usually nice hiking trails, you can swim in the ocean. The views you'll find on the islands are almost magical. Don't forget to wake up early or stay up a bit to catch the sunrise or sunset.
Go to Events or Festivals
The summer is full of events and festivals to celebrate different things. You might find music, food or culture festivals. There's something for everyone. Do your research and see if there's something for you. You could also consider volunteering for some of these festivals and get a different perspective. Many events and festivals happen annually so if you miss something, just check back again next year.
Take a Vacation and Travel
It still blows my mind how many vacation (semester) days people get in Sweden. Employees in Sweden are entitled to 25 days of annual leave, and that's not including the many public holidays throughout the year. With so many vacation days, many people travel and go abroad. You can also take this opportunity to explore more of Sweden or just be a tourist in your own city! It's great to explore and be curious about your own city wherever you are.
Relax and enjoy
Summer in Sweden is a really special time, so make sure you give yourself a chance to enjoy it. Life can get pretty hectic sometimes so just slow down and take a moment to literally smell the flowers and enjoy yourself.
Hope you all have a lovely summer!

Hillary Clinton Gives Palestine's Texts an "F"
Hillary Clinton in a Palestinian dress with traditional embroidery.
Hillary Clinton was on hand for the press conference announcing Itamar Marcus's publication of another of what Palestinian educator Gabriel Baramki calls "poisonous attacks" of Palestinian textbooks.
Wonder how many US textbooks Clinton scrutinized before she took on the daunting task of Palestine's Arabic texts?
Disheartening to see her align herself with an American-Israeli propagandist who gets paid to cherry pick items from the Palestinian media to aid Israel in its efforts to demonise Palestinians.
Marcus is an American and an illegal settler. Did I say that? The ones who hog up all the Palestinian water for themselves.
Hillary Clinton is supposed to represent American values.
Instead she hob-nobs with falsifiers of history and this occupier of stolen property, which is a violation of the Geneva Convention, while feigning concern for Palestinian children's education:
"These textbooks don't give Palestinian children an education, they give them an indoctrination."
Unfortunate, that one running for the highest office in the land considers respect for the Universal Declaration of Human Rights "indoctrination." Marcus offers this poem (I am sure his Arabic is impeccable) from a textbook as an example of "the Palestinian demand that Israel accept millions of residents of refugee camps as part of a settlement is one of the chief obstacles to peace."
At the gates of Jaffa, oh my beloved,
And the disarray of the remains of the houses
Among the ruins and the thorns
I stood and told my eyes: Oh eyes
Let us cry
On the ruins of those who left and disappeared from them
The house calls for the one who built it.
Hillary Clinton and Itamar Marcus, ensconced in some neurotic denial that the Palestinians were not ethnically cleansed, expect Palestinian educators to join them in their neuroses, and twist Palestinians expressions of their right to return home as manifestations of hate and indoctrination.
Itamar Marcus's livelihood depends on demonising and misrepresenting Palestinians. Itamar Marcus is a "chief obstacle to peace."
And Hillary Clinton disgraces America's values and thumbs her nose at peace by embracing this textbook example of a bigot.
I agree with you that the way this issue was brought up in the senate hearing was out of context and designed only to degrade Palestinians as monsters.
Actually the Palestine Tv program in question was not to affirm the suicide bombing but to examine how kids feel towards it.
Having said this, I think we as Palestinians should be able to recognise that we have a problem when it comes to few aspects of our culture that evolved after the two intifadas.
The positive encouragement of kids participation in violent acts in some circles is not a healthy thing.
The glorification of suicide bombings, without examining the moral aspects of such acts, not to mention its impact on our struggle, is not a good thing.
The fact that the Palestine TV is so promitive is heart breaking thing.
We should not care about the Palestinian haters much, but we should care about our kids and the culture they grow in, and I think we have alot to do in this regard.
In recent years Marcus has been making a living translating and disseminating defamatory communications against Israel, extracted by his staff from Palestinian publications. Marcus, a settler, used to work for David Bar Illan, Benjamin Netanyahu's PR chief, and served on the Joint Israeli Palestinian Anti-incitement Committee. Marcus's center routinely feeds the media with excerpts from "Palestinian" textbooks that call for Israel's annihilation. He doesn't bother to point out that the texts quoted in fact come from Egypt and Jordan....

In this presentation, Dr. Stanley Fish provides a lively and insightful critique of the digital humanities and its methods, goals, and claims. He does this using the framework of approaches to interpretation, i.e., how we decide what a given text means. Looking to constitutional law, Dr. Fish outlines three approaches to interpretation and discusses how digital technologies relate to them.

Skincare Products That Wow Us
An Evio Exclusive written by Lori Harito
Good skincare goes a long way. From serums to vitamins, the market is saturated with wellness products that are dynamic, unique and produce an inner - and outer - glow.
The Evio team loves experimenting with beauty items that make us happy from the get-go. We vibe with companies that stand for something and the product actually does what it says it will.
These are the top products that have wowed and amazed us. Products we were obsessed with from the very first drop, roll, or cleanse. Take a peek at our recommendations and see what're loving so far.
Wyld's Konjac sponge is a standout product because it's unique. A plant-based vegan skin exfoliator, this sponge was a revelation! It's intended to scrub and exfoliate away dirt and dead cells from the face. The result is soft, smooth, happy skin. Natural and infused with vitamins and minerals, the sponge transforms into a pillowy-soft facial cleanser when wet. What I love about the sponge is that it's handmade with the fibre-rich konjac plant native to Asia. It's grown in wild mountainous region without the use of pesticides or fertilizers. And it's super fun to use as you sweep the sponge over your face in circular motions. Unlike other exfoliators, Wyld's isn't covered in synthetic dyes and colours that get absorbed into your skin.
After cleansing your skin, use the sponge around your face and neck. I like to do at least three rounds of exfoliating with the sponge, going at a gentle pace. After that, I rinse my skin, towel off and add moisturizer or serum. Also, check out their how to video!
Rolling has become wildly popular over at Evio HQ. We've quickly adopted it as a stress-relieving tool. Something about the mindful, rhythmic motion of moving the jade roller up and down the face feels impeccably soothing. So, it should come as no surprise that the herbivore botanical rose facial roller is a top pick. It was love at first roll with my jade roller. Jade (or rose) rolling is an ancient Chinese skincare routine. It stimulates your lymphatic system, reducing puffiness and inflammation.
The method is pretty simple. On clean skin, add your moisturizer or serum, and start rolling away. Begin at the neck and roll upwards and around the eye. Just a gentle touch will do the trick. Don't be aggressive with your face. The skin is supple and delicate, so be soft when rolling. Rolling makes you less puffy and Is said to increase your plumpness and smooth out lines (tbd on this.) It also massages your serum or moisturizer deeper into your skin.
The roller comes in different crystals, each known for its beneficial properties. Rose, Jade, and Amethyst. Pro Tip: Put it in the fridge for an amazing feeling on your skin.
We're predicting this is THE new trendy product of the year. Gua Sha has been used as a healing method in Chinese Medicine for centuries. Gua Sha is a super gentle massage for your face. Think of it as cleaning out the gunk from your skin. And it's oh-so-soothing. The best part is that you don't need to do a lot to get a lot. It's meant to simply move energy around your skin and increase blood circulation. Be gentle with your skin. You'll see and feel a glow after spending some quality time with the Gua Sha.
The newcomer to the supplement world, Well Told Health is an alternative to the alternative. It has an apologetically clean approach to supplements. Well Told Health's line of organic supplements are clean and vegan with ingredients you can pronounce. The story of how they got to be is inspirational. After a breast cancer diagnosis in 2015, founder Monica Ruffo set off on a path of wellness. She went looking for natural and pure supplements only to find that there were none. They all had some type of filler harvested from animals. After extensive research, Well Told Health was born. She decided to switch up and seriously change the supplement game. Monica built her company around the belief that we can get our nourishment from plant-based food such as organic fruits, herbs, roots, seeds, veggies, petals and leaves. That's why you won't find anything but real food in the boosters. The Vitamin D booster - something we all lack since we're not drenched in sunny California sun - is derived from Portobello mushroom. Monica doesn't believe that one pill, or multivitamin, fits all. Everyone has different health needs and the products are structured around that.
- Anti-inflammatory booster made with turmeric, a known anti-inflammatory and immune booster.
- Energy Booster — this one is a real game changer. Made with nothing but two ingredients - organic goji berries and organic lemon balm, I was hesitant to try it at first thinking it would give my heart uncomfortable palpations. It didn't. Instead, it gave me a natural boost in my mood and a little extra pep in my step. A natural high that even caffeine can't provide.
As a fan of supplements, I find these products incredibly useful. When I have trouble sleeping, instead of relying on melatonin, I find Well Told Health's Relaxation booster a gentler version without the grogginess in the morning.
If you're not into bath oils, I can guarantee that this will change your mind. Just a few drops of this heavenly oil will have you settled in and completely relaxed. The fragrance is beautiful and strong enough to make you feel utterly at ease. Using a unique blend of essential oils - rosemary, lavender, juniper, and lime - Olverum bath oil will make you feel like you're dipping into a luxurious bath. The skin absorbs the oil - and feels SO good after the bath - so there's no slippery oils left in the bathtub.
Who doesn't want to feel flawless all the time? Especially when it's Friday and you're about to ramp up for the weekend. I immediately fell in love with FF's hydrating Mesmereyes under eye masks. They're unique, colourful and super fun. Most of all, they do the work by relaxing the redness and puffiness we're used to in our skin. Flawless by Friday's 3-day eye mask contains hyaluronic acid which provides extreme hydration, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to protect your under eyes. Mask two contains collagen and caffeine to plump the area. Finally, mask three has honey in it which pulls moisture of out air and into your skin. Glowy and dooey. Love it!

Sekar wakes up at 4.30 am every morning to start preparing food for his parakeets, who arrive at 6.00 am to eat. 60 kgs of food is required everyday which costs at least Rs 500. Sekar also nurses injured birds to health by keeping them in cages. He is known more as India's `Birdman' than someone who repairs cameras. Devraj, Sekar's neighbour says that it is a sight to behold to see thousands of parakeets flocking to eat at his place. Passers-by stand and are awestruck by the sight.
Sekar is a committed individual who continues to feed these birds although it is increasingly becoming difficult for him as he ages. He says that just like people cage birds, these birds have caged him, as he finds it difficult to give up feeding them.
It is pleasant to see that in this materialistic world where humans don't have time for fellow humans, people like Sekar dedicate their lives for birds without any selfish motive. Perhaps this is what being human truly means.

The Royal Wedding was, what, two weeks ago? I didn't watch it and have poor sense of time, so I really have no idea. All I know is enough time has passed for Pornhub to crank out some data analysis, showing exactly how site traffic was affected by the ginger one and the american one getting married.
Unsurprisingly there was a huge drop in traffic. The worldwide average was 10 per cent, while the UK alone saw a 21 per cent dip in traffic. Still we managed to get outdone by the French, who topped the global table with a 23 per cent traffic drop. America, which couldn't get enough of the event if you believe their news networks, only saw a 6 per cent drop. Gotta pump those numbers up, America, those are rookie numbers.
England was down 21 per cent, Wales 19 per cent, Scotland 15 per cent, and Northern Ireland 14 per cent during the ceremony. Pornhub also noted a 17 per cent drop in England at 5pm, which just so happened to coincide with the FA Cup Final that began at 5.15pm. So it seems football is also more important than porn, at least to the English. I'd wager most of that lost traffic was in London, seeing as how that's where all the Manchester United and Chelsea fans live.
After the wedding was done, however, everyone jumped back onto the internet and began looking to see if the new princess had made anything remotely pornographic during her acting career. The answer is still no, but that didn't stop a 2812% increase in searches for "Meghan Markle", though around 75 per cent of people spelled her name incorrectly - either as Megan Markle and Megan Markel. There was also a 403 per cent increase in people searching for 'prince' and 182 per cent looking for 'princess'.
Pornhub is also quick to note that princess is a popular term already, which explains the smaller rise in search terms. Apparently people have also been searching for Prince Harry before the wedding, which made it harder to work out a percentage increase. Finally Pornhub revealed a umber of other search increases, including a 1865 per cent increase in 'royal', 178 per cent for Suits star Abigail Spender, 988 per cent for Kate Middleton, 108 per cent for Serena Williams, 4213 per cent for Victoria Beckham, and 3440 per cent for David Beckham.

Just wondering what would cause my server to display the date and time seriously wrong.
I ran a sql query (via phpmyadmin) to add some extra info to my site. The timestamps in the mysql query are correct for my local timezone and this is how I've always done it.
This was my problem: If the timestamp equated to Oct 31, 2011 9:00pm my time EDT, my site page (.php) was displaying it as Nov 1, 2011 4:00am. It was fine before and it displayed correctly before.
My WordPress is up to date and is set to the correct New York timezone and does not affect/effect my php function to pull and return the info listings within it's pages. The function is declared within my WP theme. Both the WP install tables and the extra info tables I was pulling from are from the same database.
I had one or two problems like this before within the last few years with the time display shifting badly and I readjusted the time to reflect correctly. I can under stand giving or taking a hour during daylight savings but this? The other times it was off by weird amounts but I can't recall what timezones they were.
[color=#0000CD]Again just wondering… DreamHost time is -3 hours behind me I know and GMT/UTC is now ahead +4. What could make my site +7 hours off?[/color]
[color=#FF0000]P.S.[/color] I resorted to adding…
date_default_timezone_set('America/New_York'); …to my php function which corrected the display and I've set up to switch to PHP5.3 and using a phprc as per DH's wiki on "php.ini" to set it up with

Ah, yes, pyramids. When The Purging Lutheran was a wee bęrn I became aware of 'pyramid power'. Pyramids were thought to be receiving antennas of messages sent by ancient civilizations based in galaxies gazillions of light years away. One other-worldly outlander group, 'The Pepsi Generation'*, downloaded instructions through Egyptian pyramids for us to build the…… Continue reading the daily purge 11-5-19

Four points that open doors to NHS-focussed HealthTech media
As part of our collaboration with DigitalHealth.London, we have researched the ingredients of the stories that have made the health tech news pages over the past six months.
Our content director, Mary Louise Clews – former award winning HSJ news reporter – has summarised the findings here into four quick pointers to include in any pitch aimed at opening doors into the NHS, via earned media coverage or otherwise.
Showing understanding of how the NHS works and its current priorities is essential to winning the ear of senior managers. Politics have a huge influence on the NHS, so being aligned with current political mood music and priorities can make the difference between being noticed or ignored. Taking the time to read the latest overarching policy document, such as the latest ten or five year plan or forward view from NHS England, is essential. It's also important to take notice of announcements around funding and targets and show how you can be a trusted partner to organisations seeking to access those pots or meet those goals.
This is the Holy Grail for an organisation that is rightly skewed towards an evidence-based mind-set. However, it puts new untested tech at an obvious disadvantage. It's like starting out again as a graduate – you can't get a job without experience, but without a job you can't get experience. The answer, as with many graduates, is to take a partnership approach and invest in a trial or pilot with a key NHS partner to get that all-important efficacy evidence. This is where that separate revenue stream comes in handy…
Cash in the bank. Startups that can avoid being solely reliant on investment rounds and have access to an alternative revenue streams are at a huge advantage as they're not dependent on the NHS buying into their innovation in the first instance to survive. This means thinking about a business model that can be scaled within another complementary sector or internationally, for instance, to access revenue streams elsewhere. This buys the time needed to run pilots essentially for free in partnership with NHS bodies in order to build evidence.
Mining for data that illustrates your innovation's problem-solving capability should be at the top of any NHS-targeting entrepreneur's business development plan list. Technology on its own won't impress or even catch the attention of time-poor NHS executives and clinicians. Its raison d'etre needs to be brought to life, and the reasons why they should care must be clearly set-out. For instance, if a business has created an app that automates a process in the NHS that is currently handled via outdated tech or practices – and there are many – look to collate data on the impact of that archaic process on patients, staff, and how much that costs the NHS in wasted time and effort.

BIRMINGHAM, AL (WBRC) - Samford University has signed Head Football Coach Chris Hatcher to a contract extension, Director of Athletics Martin Newton announced on Wednesday.
The extension is for five years and will keep Hatcher at Samford through the 2023 season.
"Coach Hatcher has made a tremendous impact on our program since he was hired prior to the 2015 season," Newton said. "His love for his players and for our program is evident in everything he does. We are excited to announce this extension and look forward to continued improvement in the coming years."
The extension went into effect following the 2017 season, after Hatcher led the program to back-to-back NCAA Division I-FCS Playoff appearances for the first time in 25 years. Hatcher's 2018 team posted the program's eighth-straight winning season, the longest streak in program history.
Also during the 2018 season, quarterback Devlin Hodges became the FCS' all-time leader in career passing yards. Hodges also earned the highest individual honor at the FCS level, winning the Walter Payton Award.
"I've been very fortunate to be surrounded by great people at Samford that have allowed me to receive this extension," Hatcher said. "Without my staff, players and the tremendous support of our administration, this would not be possible. I look forward to continued success in the future."
Hatcher's offense has been among the FCS' top offenses since he arrived at Samford. In 2018, the Bulldogs' offense led the nation in passing offense (392.7 ypg) and ranked fourth nationally in total offense (515.9 ypg). His 2017 offense ranked fifth in the nation in passing offense (333.4 ypg), while the 2016 unit came in third in passing offense (349.4 ypg). The 2015 Bulldogs ranked third in the nation in passing offense (332.9 ypg).
Hatcher will begin his fifth season as Samford's head coach on Saturday, Aug. 24, when the Bulldogs take on Youngstown State in the Guardian Credit Union FCS Kickoff at Cramton Bowl in Montgomery, Alabama. The kickoff time for the game will be released on a later date.

Samdech Sangha Raja Jhotañano Chuon Nath (March 11, 1883 – September 25, 1969) is the late Supreme Patriarch Kana Mahanikaya of Cambodia. Amongst his achievements is his effort in conservation of the Khmer language in the form of the Chuon Nath Khmer dictionary. His protection of Khmer identity and history in the form of the national anthem, Nokor Reach and Savada Khmer are also amongst his contribution to the country.
Conserving the Khmer Language
Nath was the head of a reformist movement in the Khmer Buddhist Sangha which developed a rationalist-scholastic model of Buddhism, rooted in linguistic studies of the Pali Canon. This new movement, known as Dhammayuttika Nikaya, influenced young Khmer monks in the early 20th century. The new movmenet also cultivated Khmer-language identity and culture, giving rise to the notion of Cambodian nationalism.
Nath pushed for a series of innovations in the Khmer Sangha beginning in the early twentieth century: the use of print for sacred texts (rather than traditional methods of hand-inscribing palm-leaf manuscripts); a higher degree of expertise in Pali and Sanskrit studies among monks; a vision of orthodoxy based on teaching of Vinaya texts for both monks and lay-people; and modernization of teaching methods for Buddhist studies.
He also oversaw the translation of the entire Buddhist Pali cannon into Khmer language; and the creation of the Khmer language dictionary.
The French set up its protectorate over Cambodia and intended to replace the Khmer language with its own through the so-called "pseudo-French intellectuals." This intention rallied many Cambodian scholars to the course of conserving the Khmer language; one such scholar was Nath. A son of farmers who later became a monk, Nath dedicated his life to upholding Buddhism and the conservation of Khmer language in the country that was highly influenced by French colonialism. He had an extensive knowledge of the Khmer language. He was probably the most famous and most knowledgeable monk Cambodia had ever had. A master in Buddha's teaching, he was very well known around the Buddhism circle as well as very adept at languages. Throughout his life he encouraged the use of "Khmerization" in both public education and religions. What Nath meant by "Khmerization" was he wanted to derive new Khmer words from its ancestral roots, the Pali and Sanskrit languages. For example, when the train arrived first in Cambodia, there was no Khmer word for the train. Nath thus derived the word for train from Sanskrit and Pali word of Ayomoyo which means something that is made of metal. Together with the word Yana which means vehicle, came the Khmer word for train which we know today as Ayaksmeyana, pronounced Ayak-smey-yean ot "Rot Pleung" meaning "fired vehicle", a vehicle run by a wood-fired engine.
However, Nath's Khmerization was not overall accepted by all Khmers. ther scholars such as Keng Vannsak who were pro-French did not find the kind of Khmer words derived from Pali and Sanskrit to be convenient. They revolutionized another kind of derivation which they want to adopt normalized French word into Khmer vocabulary. The only major change was to use Khmer alphabet to write the word rather than using the Roman alphabets used by the French. But despite opposition, Nath's Khmerization succeeded. He was a member of the original committee granted royal order to compile a Khmer dictionary in 1915 and was credited as the founder of the dictionary as he pushed for and finally succeeded in printing the first edition of the current Khmer dictionary in 1967.
Nath's other contribution to Cambodia include the current national anthem, Nokoreach. Nokoreach was written to correspond to the motto of the nation, "Nation, Religion, King" as well as demonstrate the grandeur and the mighty past of the Khmer nation.
Verification of the national khmer song:
Pong Savada Khmer
A ballad Savada Khmer to call for all Khmer to unite, to remember and to uphold the great history of the Khmer people was written by Mr Nuon Kan on 12/09/1958. It was not written by Samdach Chuon Nath though our Samdach Chuon Nath was giving a lot of support and encouragement to publicize khmer nationalistic nature of this song.
English Translation
All Khmers, please remember the root and history of our great country
Our boundary was wide and well known
Others always thought highly of our race
And always placed our race as the elders.
We have great heritage and culture
Which has spread far and wide in the Far East.
Religion, arts and education,
Music, philosophy and strategies are all that we have spread.
All Khmers, please remember our roots and history
Which speaks of the grandeur of our great race
Make up your mind and body and try hard to rebuild
In order to lift the value of our nation
To once again rise to the greatness that we once had.
P.N : My name MONOHA was given by Samdech CHUON NATH . Up until now, I still don't know the meaning of this word.
