LivaNova PLC (NASDAQ:LIVN; LSE: LIVN) (“LivaNova” or the “Company”), a market-leading medical technology and innovation company, today recognizes that more than one million people in the United States with drug-resistant epilepsy continue to be treated unsuccessfully with drugs, despite the proven effectiveness of non-drug treatment options. LivaNova’s VNS Therapy®, for example, is a medical device treatment specifically designed for people with drug-resistant epilepsy that is already used by more than 85,000 people around the world.
One in three people with epilepsy has the type that is not well controlled with drugs, called drug-resistant epilepsy. For those people, prescribing more medicine is usually not the most effective option. In fact, research shows that if you haven’t found seizure freedom after your first two drugs, there is a 95 percent chance that no drug or combination of drugs will result in seizure freedom.
“Despite what we know about drug-resistant epilepsy, the majority of people affected by this condition will continue to be prescribed additional medications instead of being evaluated for surgery or seen in a specialized epilepsy facility,” said Jason Richey, president of LivaNova’s U.S. Region and general manager of the Neuromodulation Business Franchise. “This treatment gap means over one million individuals in the U.S. with undertreated epilepsy remain at risk for dangerous side effects of continued seizures, including injury, depression, memory issues and death.”

A blast of colors lit up the sky today at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Florida above the new Heroes & Legends featuring the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame presented by Boeing. But not because of a rocket launch!
A spirited pyrotechnics display marked the opening of the new attraction, which was attended by more than 25 veteran and current NASA astronauts, including revered Gemini and Apollo space program astronauts Buzz Aldrin, James Lovell and Thomas Stafford. They were joined by the adult children of the late-astronauts Alan Shepard and Neil Armstrong, as well as representatives from NASA, The Boeing Company and Delaware North.

Kelley Blue Book www.kbb.com, the vehicle valuation and information source trusted and relied upon by both consumers and the automotive industry, today announces the winners of the 2017 Kelley Blue Book Best Buy Awards, honoring the top new model-year vehicle choices available in the U.S. market. The 2017 Honda Civic is named Kelley Blue Book’s Overall Best Buy of 2017, alongside Best Buy Award winners in 12 major vehicle categories.
The Kelley Blue Book Best Buy Awards are designed to provide a significant service to new-car buyers by identifying the cream of the crop of all available 2017 model-year vehicles. The awards are the culmination of a year-long regimen of expert vehicle evaluation and testing of nearly every new vehicle available in America, along with analysis of a broad swath of vehicle-related data, including vehicle pricing/transaction prices, 5-Year Cost to Own data (which includes depreciation, insurance, maintenance, financing, fuel, fees and taxes for new cars), consumer reviews and ratings, and vehicle sales/retail sales information. Of more than 300 new-car models available for 2017, Kelley Blue Book’s expert editors initially narrowed the field to a few dozen Best Buy Award contenders in 12 major vehicle categories and then spent several weeks testing and evaluating all of the finalists head-to-head to ultimately determine the winners.

Today, the Ad Council in partnership with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, AdoptUSKids, and KBS launched new public service advertisements (PSAs) for the award-winning Adoption from Foster Care campaign. The new television and radio PSAs encourage the adoption of older youth from foster care.
Of the 428,000 youth under the age of 18 in the U.S. foster care system, 112,000 are currently waiting for adoptive families, according to the most recent Adoption and Foster Care Analysis and Reporting System (AFCARS) data. Since the project’s launch in 2002, more than 26,000 children who were once photo listed on the AdoptUSKids website have been placed with permanent families. However, older youth and teens have lower adoption rates than younger children, and they often wait longer to be adopted. Currently, of the 5,560 youth photo-listed on the website as available for adoption, 43% are between the ages of 15 and 18 years old.

"İslam herhangi bir tanrı tarafından değil, Muhammed tarafından Muhammed için yaratıldı, insanların yararı için değil. Bu benim vardığım sonuç. Kuran bunu açıkça gösteriyor.
Sözde ayetler iddia edildiği üzre cennetteki Kuran kopyasından okunarak, Allah'ın ağzından çıkar çıkmaz yazılmamıştır. Allah Kuran'da genel olarak 3.şahıs olarak yer almaktadır, sanki birisi onu tanımlıyor veya ona güzellik atfediyormuşçasına. Bu kişi elbette Muhammed'den başkası değildir. Kuran onun vaazları ve emirlerinin akılda kalanlarının kullanılarak takipçileri tarafından oluşturulan bir koleksiyondur.
Kuran'ın cennette önceden var olduğu, Muhammed'in başına gelen herşeyin Allah tarafından önceden belirlenip Muhammed'i 23 yıl süresince ara sıra aldığı ayetler boyunca sahne kuklası gibi Allah tarafından oynatıldığı fikri inanılası gibi değildir.
Bunun yanı sıra ayetlerde Muhammed'in kişisel ilişkileri ve arzuları üzerinde gereğinden fazla durulmuştur. Muhammed tüm gücü eline almak için kendine bir diktatörlük kurmuş ve koşulsuz itaat beklemiştir. Çağlar boyunca tanrısal rehberlik sunduğunu iddia eden tüm insanlar gibi Muhammed'in de Kuran'da sunduğu üzre kendi sözlerinden başka hiçbir kanıtı yoktu. Dürüst olmak gerekirse bu sözler hiç de ikna edici değil. Benim inancım müslümanların kendilerini bu görmeye ikna edecekleri."

Hep överiz toplumumuzu "ne kadar dindarız, ne kadar geleneksel değerlerimize sahip çıkıyoruz" diye. Dine sıkı sıkı sarılırız ve ondan taviz vermenin büyük çöküşü getireceği gibi komplo teorileri üretiriz...
Peki hiç dürüstçe kendimize sorduk mu nasıl oluyor da ateist oranının inançlılardan daha yüksek olduğu kuzey avrupa ülkelerindeki insanlar bizden çok daha düşük suç oranlarına ve insan hakları ihlallerine, bizden daha yüksek toplumsal refaha, ekonomik ve teknolojik kalkınmışlığa sahip olabiliyorlar?

Kuran, ortaya çıktığı çağın kısıtlı ve ilkel bilimsel bilgilerini olduğu gibi yansıtmaktadır. Bugün ancak peri masallarına ve mitolojilere konu olabilek türden bir evren tasvirinin yer aldığı Kuran hiçbir güncel bilimsel bulguyla örtüşmemektedir.
Dünyanın alenen düz olduğu, göklerin görünmez direklerle havada tutulduğu, yıldızların kıyamette dünyaya düşecekleri, doğuya ve batıya yürünerek güneşin ve ayın toprağa battığının görülebileceği gibi ifadeler bize bu kitabın insan ürünü olduğunu işaret etmektedir.
Richard Dawkins bu videoda, teistlerin tüccar mantığı ile sıkça sorduğu "biz yanılıyorsak bişey kaybetmeyiz, ama siz yanılıyorsanız ahirette cezalandırılacaksınız" klişesini, kendine has mizahi bir üslupla yanıtlıyor.
