Apple warns to keep iPhones at least 6 inches away from pacemakers



 Radio waves emanating from Apple devices may disrupt the workings of implanted pacemakers and defibrillators, the company warns. 

In a recent update, Apple said iPhones have magnets, components and radios that release electromagnetic fields, which can potentially interfere with sensors on the medical devices when brought in close contact.

Pacemakers and defibrillators are life-saving devices designed to regulate the heartbeat, with the latter sending off a more powerful shock to the heart if it detects a dangerous rhythm.

Apple said that all iPhone models pose about the same risk of interference, despite the latest iPhone 12 containing more magnets. Apple also warned of radios and magnets in MagSafe accessories, which offer wireless charging capabilities.

Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

“To avoid any potential interactions with these devices, keep your iPhone and MagSafe accessories a safe distance away from your device (more than 6 inches / 15 cm apart or more than 12 inches / 30 cm apart if wirelessly charging),” reads the update, issued on Saturday. “But consult with your physician and your device manufacturer for specific guidelines.”

Stop using iPhones or MagSafe accessories after any suspected interference with medical devices, Apple advised.

John Roberts’ refusal to sit for Trump impeachment sparks constitutional concerns

Chief Justice John Roberts’ refusal to preside over former President Donald Trump’s second impeachment trial is raising questions about whether he views the first-of-its-kind proceedings as constitutional.

The Supreme Court has been declining to comment when reached by The Post, as well as other outlets, on why its top jurist will not take part in the historic trial.

Speaking to MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show” on Monday evening, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) revealed that Roberts “did not want” to take part in the trial.

“The Constitution says the chief justice presides for a sitting president,” the top-ranking senator said. “So it was up to John Roberts whether he wanted to preside with a president who is no longer sitting, Trump, and he doesn’t want to do it.”

Roberts has not offered any comment on his role in a second impeachment trial since the House of Representatives voted in favor of taking the matter to trial in the Senate earlier this month.

That silence has been noted by those opposed to impeaching a former president.

 Archaeologists carrying out an excavation dig at the Sobibor death camp in Poland unearthed the identity tags of four Jewish children murdered there during the Holocaust, the Israel Antiquities Authority announced Tuesday.

The discovery left the archeologists in tears.

The four metal personal identity tags belonging to four Dutch children – ranging in age from 5-12, bore their names, their dates of birth, and their hometowns: Lea Judith De La Penha, Deddie Zak, Annie Kapper and David Juda Van der Velde.

“As far as we know, identity tags with children’s names have only been found at Sobibor, and nowhere else,” said Yoram Haimi of the Israel Antiquities Authority, who is involved in an excavation at the site prior to the construction of a new visitors center, together with a Polish archaeologist, a Dutch archaeologist and local residents.

Rand Paul calls Trump impeachment trial ‘dead on arrival’ after 45 GOP senators vote against it

U.S. Sen. Rand Paul declared former President Trump’s Senate impeachment trial "dead on arrival" on Tuesday after 45 Senate Republicans voted against holding the proceeding, viewing it as unconstitutional.

Rand, a Kentucky Republican, had called for a procedural vote regarding holding a trial, claiming the Senate shouldn’t address the article of impeachment against Trump filed by the House this month because Trump is now out of office.

Five GOP senators voted not to dismiss the impeachment trial of President Trump: Susan Collins, Maine, Lisa Murkowski, Alaska, Ben Sasse, Neb., and Pat Toomey, Pa., and Mitt Romney, Utah. They voted with all 50 Democrat senators to table the point of order. 

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who has indicated he has an open mind on whether Trump should be convicted, voted against ending debate.

The Brennan's, The Schiffs Are Domestic Enemies of the USA ... Tulsi Gabbard

 Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, D-Hawaii, made headlines on Tuesday for asserting in a social media video that Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., and former CIA Director John Brennan should be considered "domestic enemies" of the U.S., deeming them a greater danger to the country than the rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol building on Jan. 6.

Gabbard doubled down on her comments on "Tucker Carlson Tonight" Tuesday. During her appearance, she denounced the violent demonstrators, but warned of efforts to combat domestic insurgents through surveillance and other monitoring activities.

 "We recognize that those who stormed the Capitol on January 6 trying to stop Congress from fulfilling their constitutional responsibilities, they were acting as domestic terrorists undermining our Constitution," Gabbard told host Tucker Carlson.

"[However,] those like John Brennan, Adam Schiff and others are also acting as domestic terrorists because they are also undermining our constitution by trying to take away our civil liberties and rights that are guaranteed to us," she added.

U.S. Announces Restoration Of Relations With Palestinians,,,the ones paying salaries to those who murder Jewish mothers and children

 


U.S. President Joe Biden’s administration announced Tuesday it was restoring relations with the Palestinians and renewing aid to Palestinian refugees, a reversal of the Trump administration’s cutoff and a key element of its new support for a two-state solution to the decades-old conflict between Israelis and Palestinians.

Acting U.S. Ambassador Richard Mills made the announcement of Biden’s approach to a high-level virtual Security Council meeting, saying the new U.S. administration believes this “remains the best way to ensure Israel’s future as a democratic and Jewish state while upholding the Palestinians’ legitimate aspirations for a state of their own and to live with dignity and security.”

President Donald Trump’s administration provided unprecedented support to Israel, recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, moving the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv, slashing financial assistance for the Palestinians and reversing course on the illegitimacy of Israeli settlements on land claimed by the Palestinians.

Chareidie Parent Writes Open Letter About "Chareidie Rioters" .."Woe to The Father that Taught Him Torah" "Who to the Rebbe That Taught Him Torah"

 

I don't have the time to translate this ... maybe later ... try later..

But to summarise... he is saying is that the "rioters" are ALL yeshiva bochrim learning Torah ... all of them ...

And he writes that its time to stop blaming the police ..he blames the Rabbanim who are either ignoring it or making light of it...

He writes that the ones throwing rocks and burning buses are all Torah learners some of them from the finest families...

He states that those Torah Learners that scream "nazi" on police can never be forgiven ... never!

He asks "where did we go wrong" that our children "our own blood and flesh" have grown up without any Derech Eretz...

He adds...that to blame others is not being very smart... we must look into our own communities and root out these evil acts
