fall detection
One that shows us that there are still countries out there that are choosing to deliberately trample upon the rights of the disabled. If you feel as strongly as I do, then please send your feedback to me at . I wish you a great weekend. Press releaseFor immediate release INCLUSION INTERNATIONAL CONDEMNS COMPULSORY STERILIZATION AND HIV TESTING OF PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES IN RWANDA AS A ABHORANT VIOLATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS July 6, 2009 Toronto Inclusion International II, a federation of 200 family based organizations advocating for the human rights of people with intellectual disabilities worldwide, calls on the international community to oppose a reproductive health bill introduced in the Rwandan Parliament. The proposed reproductive health bill includes provisions that would impose forced sterilization and
mandatory HIV testing on people with intellectual disabilities. According to the newly introduced bill drafted by the parliamentary committee, physicians would be granted the right to test an "incapacitated" person without their consent and then disclose the testing results to their official guardian. These provisions would be in direct violation of the Rwandan governments ratification of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities CRPD. Forced sterilization would not only violate the rights of persons with disabilities but is also regarded as a crime against humanity by the International Criminal Court. The mandatory testing of HIV and disclosure of results would infringe on privacy rights and lead to abuse. People with intellectual disabilities are among the most marginalized and vulnerable groups in our societies, measures such as those proposed by Rwanda despite their international obligations under the Convention, serve to dehumanize and
devalue people. Diane Richler, President of Inclusion International, "People with intellectual disabilities all over the world continue to be victims of human rights abuses.

alert buttons for seniors
ADT is a well known household name, but what makes it one of the best home security systems?It’s the service and availability, along with the reliability it provides. There are multiple centers for monitoring ADT alarms all over the country, so the chance of an outage is very low. There’s also 140 years of experience backing the company, so you know it has been around long enough to know how to provide customers with what they want and need. Phone and email support are provided on a 24/7 basis, and it’s possible to get an installation completed on the same day. You can also expect $500 off your insurance deductible in case you get broken into while you have ADT monitoring installed. Here’s a quick summary of their pros and cons:You can control your garage door, lights, locks, and more right through your cell phone. There’s no relocation option if you need to move, so ADT works best for established homeowners who are going to be at the same location for a longer period of time. The franchise nature of ADT can also mean that you’ll find a
somewhat inconsistent level of customer service and support depending upon
where you are based, and that can be frustrating when you are used to receiving good service, but move somewhere else, and suddenly have poor service. On the whole, though, most ADT franchises are very good with customers, and are committed to providing a high level of quality and value for everyone who contracts with them. It’s a DIY installation system, so you don’t have to take the time out of your busy life to wait for someone to come hook things up for you. Instead, you can just get the equipment and set everything up on your own.

in home alarm systems
The third essential part of a home security system is the alarm. There are many different options as far as which type of alarm you can have installed. Some alarms are set to trigger a loud siren in order to deter potential burglars after they attempt to get in to your home. You may also choose to install an alarm that will automatically contact a monitoring service, who will then attempt to contact you to see what the situation is, and can contact the proper authorities if necessary. There are many other options that can be added to a home security system beyond these three basic components.
Many people choose to have a panic button installed by their bedside, or in an area of the
house that is often in use. Video cameras are another option that you may wish to look into. With all of the options available, you may wish to talk to a professional from a company that offers home security systems in order to see which options you would benefit from most. There are many different companies that can be found online, or you can ask friends and relatives to see if they have any experience with a particular company. Nowadays, the security of the home has become a very critical issue in the modern day life style. Luckily, there are a number of solutions which can solve some of the home security concerns.
