FDA scientists test devices that claim to use UV light to clean Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machines. To date, UV light has not been proven to be safe or effective for this use. While cleaning your CPAP is important, most CPAPs can be cleaned safely and effectively with mild soap and water as described in the owner’s manual, with some manufacturers recommending the use of diluted vinegar.

“LOST” The Survivors
Lost is an American serial drama television series. It follows the lives of plane crash survivors on a mysterious tropical island, after a commercial passenger jet flying between Sydney, Australia and Los Angeles, United States crashes somewhere in the South Pacific. Each episode typically features a primary storyline on the island as well as a secondary storyline from another point in a character’s life, though other time-related plot devices change this formula in later episodes. The pilot episode was first broadcast on September 22, 2004, and since then four full seasons have aired with a fifth currently in progress. The show airs on the ABC Network in the United States, as well as on regional networks in many other countries.
Due to its large ensemble cast and the cost of filming primarily on location in Oahu, Hawaii, the series is one of the most expensive on television.It was created by Damon Lindelof, J. J. Abrams and Jeffrey Lieber and is produced by ABC Studios, Bad Robot Productions and Grass Skirt Productions. The score is composed by Michael Giacchino. The current executive producers are Abrams, Lindelof, Bryan Burk, Jack Bender and Carlton Cuse.
Critically acclaimed and a popular success, Lost garnered an average of 16 million viewers per episode on ABC during its first year. It has won numerous industry awards including the Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series in 2005, Best American Import at the British Academy Television Awards in 2005, the Golden Globe for Best Drama in 2006 and a Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Ensemble in a Drama Series. Reflecting its devoted fan base, the series has become a part of American popular culture with references to the story and its elements appearing in other television series,commercials, comic books, webcomics, humor magazines, a video game and song lyrics. The show’s fictional universe has also been explored through tie-in novels, board and video games, and alternative reality games, The Lost Experience and Find 815.
In May 2007, ABC announced that Lost will conclude in its sixth season with its 120th and final episode airing in May 2010.Season six will consist of seventeen episodes. Episodes from the first four seasons of the series have begun airing in off-network syndication in the U.S., distributed by Disney-ABC Domestic Television, on G4 and Sci Fi.
Created by JJ Abrams, Jeffrey Lieber, Damon Lindelof.

"All My People / All Mankind" is a series of portraits of friends in Italy and abroad, that I have been taken via webcam during the quarantine. The title is a song by Liam Gallagher and has a double interpretation. All my people are those who have been there during this difficult time, everybody in their own way. I have never felt so much empathy for people before like in this surreal and difficult time. These photos are my tribute to them. Each person has been photographed in his/her favourite corner of the house or while dedicating to a hobby or activity. The link between me and many of these people is music. My intention was to catch the empathic connection between me and them despite the distance and three devices (our webcams and my camera) dividing us.
All mankind is the second interpretation. Each person their own story and the Covid-19 emergency has had consequences on everybody's life. Some of those people in the photos have been isolated for three months trying to protect their old parents, have struggled against the virus living in complete isolation without even going out to buy food, have lost their jobs, had planned to get married and could not, could not visit their families in other regions for months, had to work from home while taking care of a child. These are universal stories in which everybody can recognize themselves. They teach us that the mankind has a great power to adapt. Some people have started teaching online, have started home radio station, have recorded music, made drawings out of my photos, have volunteered. Together we have done photo shootings, guitar and yoga lessons, birthday parties. We have not given up because life always finds the way to prevail.

"All My People / All Mankind" è un progetto personale di ritratti scattati ad amici italiani e stranieri tramite webcam durante la quarantena. Il titolo è una canzone di Liam Gallagher e ha una doppia chiave di lettura.
All my people, la mia gente, sono le persone che sono state presenti in questo periodo difficile, ciascuna a modo suo. Mai ho provato tanta empatia verso altri esseri umani come in questo periodo così surreale e delicato. Queste foto sono un tributo a loro. Tutti i protagonisti sono stati ritratti nei loro angoli preferiti di casa o mentre si dedicavano alle loro passioni o attività. Il legame comune tra me e quasi tutte le persone è la musica. Lo scopo di queste foto è catturare la connessione empatica tra me e i soggetti, nonostante la distanza e tre dispositivi (le rispettive webcam e la mia macchina fotografica) a separarci.
All mankind, tutta l'umanità, è la seconda chiave di lettura. Ogni persona ha la sua storia e l'emergenza sanitaria ha avuto delle conseguenza sulla propria vita, cambiandola più o meno profondamente. C'è chi ha vissuto tre mesi in isolamento con i genitori anziani cercando di proteggerli, chi ha contratto il virus e ha sofferto le difficoltà fisiche e l'isolamento totale, chi doveva sposarsi e ha dovuto rimandare, chi ha perso il lavoro e non vede prospettive, chi è lontano dalla sua famiglia senza possibilità di raggiungerla in un'altra regione, chi ha dovuto adattarsi a svolgere il proprio lavoro da casa, in alcuni casi dovendo badare contemporaneamente ad un figlio. Chiunque può riconoscersi in queste persone, perché sono storie universali che ci insegnano la grande forza di adattamento dell'umanità: chi si è riadattato ad insegnare on-line, chi ha condotto un suo programma radiofonico da casa, chi ha disegnato ispirandosi a delle mie foto, chi si è dedicato alla musica scrivendo canzoni, chi ha fatto volontariato, chi ha iniziato ad inventarsi un nuovo lavoro per la fase che verrà. Insieme abbiamo fatto shooting fotografici, lezioni di chitarra, feste di compleanno, lezioni di yoga. Via webcam, ma non ci siamo arresi o fermati. Perché la vita trova sempre il modo di prevalere.

The Snail is a portable heating and cooking device based on magnetic
induction processes. Such is the size and versatility of the Snail, it can
be stuck directly on to a pot, a pan, a mug etc. to heat the contents.This
reduces the amount of space required for conventional cooking whilst adding
portability to the process. Powered by a high density sugar crystal
battery, the Snail converts the energy from the sugar, heating up a coil to
conduct the magnetic induction process to the utensil. Integrated sensors
detect the food type being heated; automatically adjusting the time and
temperature. A simple touch sensitive display with interface helps to
monitor the process.
A large group of plastic artists, actors, chefs or athletes give life to these 1.80-meter-tall meninas.
The fun is going to be in running into dozens of sculptures in the middle of the street. Walking, for example, through the Puerta de Alcalá, through the Plaza de Cibeles, through the Gran Vía. Each one decorated in a different way, with different colors, with personal visions and individual messages.
All the figures incorporate a QR code that will be scanned with a mobile device. This will serve to access the information of each menina, her presentation and the approach that the artist has wanted to give her. Some figures will be auctioned and the benefits will go to the NGOs selected by the artists or sponsors.
Reinterpreting Velázquez
Of course, the initiative proposes to reinterpret the work of Velázquez known as Las Meninas. Actually, the painting was not originally called that, but The Family of Felipe IV, which is the one portrayed. But since the 19th century, the name that referred to the companions of the Infanta Margarita of Austria became popular.
La Meninas Madrid Gallery intends to pay homage to this paradigmatic painting of the Spanish Golden Age. Or rather take art to the streets of Madrid, using the iconic claim of the meninas.
It is also a tribute to diversity, to freedom of expression. To everything that Madrid represents as a melting pot of cultures and artistic manifestations. As its organizer, Antonio Azzato, says, if you stay at home you always miss something.
Azzato has studied Velázquez's painting in depth. Aware of the numerous interpretations that have been made of this canvas throughout history, he now dares to reinterpret it in his own way.
To do this, Azzato has brought together a wide group of artists from various disciplines. From designers, sculptors and painters to actors, some established, others emerging. All willing to contribute their personal vision.
In the first edition we saw meninas signed by Marta Hazas, Jordi Molla, Vicky Martín Berrocal or Ágatha Ruiz de la Prada. In the second we saw those of Dani Rovira and Ouka Leele among many others. The third brought us those of Antonia Dell'Ate, Jaime Martínez Alonso, Marta Sánchez, Modesto Lomba or Asier Etxeandía. And the fourth to Ana Obregón, Boris Izaguirre, Chef José Andrés or DJ Nano.
This fifth edition of Meninas Madrid Gallery has the participation of Los Morancos, Paulo Coelho, Carmen Lomana, Pablo Motos and Saúl Cravioto among many others. In addition, this year the organization has invited students from design schools and universities, such as the European Institute of Design or the Francisco de Vitoria University, to participate.
Every year we find some menina that triumphs for some reason. For example, last year there was a pilgrim menina, on the occasion of the celebration of the Xacobeo Year, next to the church of Santiago. It is also one decorated by the designer Lorenzo Caprile next to the Puerta de Alcalá.
There are more than 40 sculptures that will decorate the streets of Madrid. The City Council has ceded the main spaces of the capital so that the figures can be freely admired by the widest possible public.
The sculptures are made of fiberglass and are life size of a person. That is why they do not attract the citizen's attention too much from a distance, but rather when he comes across them. A height of 1.80 by a depth of 1.60 and a weight of 30 kilos are appreciable dimensions on the ground, once located.
Each sculpture has a QR code that can be scanned with any mobile device and explains the concept of the work as well as presenting the menina virtually.
The event is charitable. At the end of the exhibition, some works will be auctioned and the proceeds will go to organizations selected by the artists themselves or sponsors. As they will bear the signature of their authors, it will be a unique occasion for collectors.
Las Meninas are located in open and central spaces, common places of passage. The idea is that many people see them. But those who want to see them need to orient themselves around the city to find them.

the morning after
a US landingcraft and a US light amphibious reconnaissance craft (LARC) are alongside.
From US Navy archives the following story was extracted:
quote
At 0010h, on April 12, 1967, the privately chartered 9,000 ton British flagged Shell Oil tanker M/V AMASTRA had been holed by an external explosive device.
The explosion ripped open a four by six foot jagged hole at the waterline near the fire wall between the engine room and the boiler room.
The engine room, fire room and the after pump room flooded in twenty minutes causing the AMASTRA’s stern to settle to the harbor bottom.

Diagram showing how an organic device could store information.
Voltage applied at the gate (G) — for example, from a sensor — drives positive ions from one layer, called the electrolyte, into an adjacent layer, an organic polymer. This changes the polymer’s resistance to a current moving from the source (S) to the drain (D). The amount of resistance represents the value being stored.
