NYCOA: (Part 2: Unsigned 4-3) [Back to] June 14 Hand Downs
Dissents, Disappointments, and Open Questions
(Reviewing the Supreme Court's past term and developments--yes, and enjoying the Saratoga meet--monopolized my time for a while. Back to the New York Court.)
Judges who are proud of their opinions sign them.
And when they don't?
Let's return to that June 14 set of decisions by New York's highest Court. To be sure, the Court of Appeals' entire past year cannot be reduced to one day. But that day's particular collection of hand downs seems quite reflective of the Court's recent behavior. Indeed, other Court watchers have noticed as well.
In Part 1, we saw how the Court in People v. Tiger relied on a federal Supreme Court decision--a much criticized one, including a dreadful concurring opinion--to determine a purely state statutory question. Moreover, in doing so, it made credible claims of actual innocence much more difficult to raise. In fact, as the dissenters pointed out, the decision in Tiger was especially distressing because there was very good reason to believe that the defendant was in fact innocent--as a subsequent civil trial found him.
Here's another highlight--unfortunately noteworthy because so puzzling and, like Tiger, disconcerting: People v. Thibodeau. This decision was rendered in an unsigned memorandum, despite the deeply divided 4 to 3 vote, and despite the comprehensive and persuasive dissenting opinion about the newly discovered evidence of innocence.
This case, like the previously discussed Tiger, dealt with a convicted defendant who has insisted that he's actually innocent and involves subsequent evidence which, if true, proves that he is. Also, like Tiger, a majority of the Court denied the defendant's request for relief.
But unlike Tiger, the majority opinion in Thibodeau was contained in a memorandum which the author chose not to sign. Yes, an unsigned memorandum decision, even though the closeness and importance of the case triggered a 30 page, rigorously detailed dissenting opinion, joined by 3 of the Court's 7 Judges: signed by Judge Rivera and joined by Judges Wilson and Feinman.
In Thibodeau, the defendant was convicted of kidnapping someone whose body was never found, but who was presumed to have been murdered. In prison since 1995, and always claiming to be innocent, the defendant was now seeking to undo his conviction based on new evidence which was not available at the time of his original prosecution. The legal question in his request for post-conviction relief was whether there was "a probability that had such evidence been received at trial the verdict would have been more favorable to the defendant." [That's the language of the governing provision in NY's Criminal Procedure Law (§ 440.10 [1] [g]).]
The new evidence consisted of statements, allegedly made by three men, admitting that they abducted the victim, killed her, and disposed of her body. Additionally, there was testimony by several witnesses to these incriminating statements. There also were some documents consistent with the guilt of the three men and the innocence of the defendant.
Beyond all that, as stressed in the dissenting opinion, the prosecution's
trial evidence was not overwhelming. No physical or testimonial evidence at trial placed defendant at the [scene] at the time the victim disappeared, and no forensic evidence was found...linking defendant to the victim.
Nevertheless, the unsigned, bare-majority memorandum disparaged the new evidence as "uncorroborated hearsay." It stated that the county court was "within its discretion" to reject the claim for post-conviction relief. In the view of the 3 dissenters, however,
It is difficult to imagine these statements [of the three men and the corroborating testimony] would not have 'added a little more doubt to the jury's view of the evidence,' such that there would have been enough uncertainty as to defendant's guilt." [Quoting a 2015 precedent of the Court.]
The specific point here is not about whether the majority or the dissenters got it right. Yes, it is certainly noteworthy that a majority of the Court, for the second time in this one decision day, saw fit to deny relief to a defendant whose claim of actual innocence had substantial support in the record. Many, including myself, find this dismaying. But that's a discussion for another time.
The particular point here is that the majority in Thibodeau saw fit to dismiss the strenuous protestations of their three dissenting colleagues--just one vote less than the majority--without the dignity of a signed opinion.
There is a "company line" about these memoranda decisions that has been repeatedly proffered over the years by former and current members of the Court. That semi-official explanation is that these unsigned writings are used in cases where the issues are already well-settled or readily resolved or otherwise insignificant.
Several years ago, my criticism of the frequency and typical inadequacy of such unsigned opinions at that time triggered a public rebuke, by a then-sitting member of the Court. Not surprisingly, that Judge insisted that these unsigned memorandum decisions were confined to cases involving nothing new or controversial or significant. Of course, as I responded then and repeat now, that excuse can hardly be taken seriously when unsigned opinions are used even where the Judges disagree about the resolution of the issue--especially when the division within the Court is deep and the issue intensely debated. A fortiori when the issue is a constitutional one or otherwise extremely consequential.
Indeed, it is especially hard to take that company line about unsigned memorandum decisions seriously when, as in Thibodeau, a substantial claim of actual innocence is at stake, where the Court is divided 4 to 3, and where the dissenters presented their position in a comprehensive, passionate, 30 page opinion. Surely, such a dissent deserved a fuller and signed elaboration of the majority's reasons why the dissenters were wrong.
In the month of June alone, there were 7 such unsigned memorandum opinions in non-unanimous decisions--i.e., where at least 1 of the Judges disagreed with the majority strongly enough and viewed the issue as significant enough to author a dissent. And lest there be any misconception, these unsigned writings are not the handiwork of just one side of the Court's ideological aisle. They are not always pro-prosecution.
For example, in People v. Morrison, decided the same month (June 28), the 4-3 majority, in an unsigned memorandum, reversed a rape conviction on the basis of a trial error which, the majority ruled, did not require any showing of any actual prejudice to the defendant. That triggered a concise dissent by Chief Judge DiFiore. She was joined by Judge Garcia who penned his own forceful 30 page dissenting opinion, which was joined in turn by Judge Feinman. Five conclusory, unsigned paragraphs by the majority hardly seems to have been adequate.
With few exceptions, cases that reach the Court of Appeals are sufficiently significant and close that their resolution deserves the fullest justification and explanation. These unsigned memoranda opinions rarely provide that. This is especially unfortunate when a dissenting opinion raises important questions. Indeed, it's often no wonder why the author of the unsigned majority opinion would choose not to take credit.
Others who follow the Court of Appeals are noticing as well. Among them, the eminent litigator Paul Shechtman recently commented that, "30 decisions [in criminal appeals over the past year] were decided by memorandum opinion; no judge signed his or her name to the decision." (Criminal Cases Faced an Often Divided Court This Term, NYLJ, Aug. 18, 2018.)
To put it plainly, the prolific use of these unsigned memorandum opinions is unworthy of a fine Court.

Vaxin Changes Company Name to Altimmune
Move Reflects Company's Expansion Beyond Vaccines to Include Immunotherapeutics
September 01, 2015 08:00 ET | Source: Altimmune
GAITHERSBURG, MD--(Marketwired - Sep 1, 2015) - Vaxin Inc., a clinical stage immunotherapy and vaccine company, today announced that it has changed its corporate name to Altimmune, Inc. Vaxin was founded in 1997 to pioneer new-generation vaccine technologies and products. Since then, the company has achieved steady success, developing promising vaccine candidates for biodefense and other public health needs, as well as animal health. In a strategic growth move earlier this year, the company acquired UK-based Immune Targeting Systems (ITS) and added prominent new investors to its syndicate. The acquisition vaulted Vaxin into the immunotherapeutics sector, growing its therapeutics expertise, expanding its market, and broadening its global footprint. The new name marks the next chapter for the newly combined company.
"The Vaxin brand has served as a superb ambassador of our vaccine product family, but the expansion of our product platform calls for a new brand," said president and CEO, Bill Enright. "The name Altimmune reflects the novel solutions we bring to the broader biotech marketplace today. Bold emphasis on the immune system is intentional; it speaks to alternative therapies that stimulate immune responses for prevention and treatment of diseases. With some of today's most exciting research discoveries happening in this area, our new name conveys a promise to deliver essential innovation to the space."
Beyond a Vaccine Company
The company name change marks a high point for Altimmune. Last month, the company initiated a first-in-man phase I clinical trial of HepTcell™ (FP-02.2), an immunotherapeutic compound to treat, and potentially cure, people chronically infected with the hepatitis B virus (HBV). Patient enrollment has begun for the multi-center trial to be conducted at seven sites in the United Kingdom. The study aims to recruit 72 patients with chronic HBV infection.
The clinical trial initiation augments rising momentum for Altimmune's vaccine products. In its latest success, the company demonstrated in pre-clinical studies that a single intranasal vaccination with its NasoShield™ anthrax vaccine was non-inferior to the protection conferred by two vaccinations of the currently licensed Anthrax Vaccine Absorbed (AVA; BioThrax®). Intranasal delivery is generally believed to be a superior vaccination route because the mucosal immune response has been shown to be important for protection, particularly against respiratory pathogens. Importantly, NasoShield produced protective immunity with earlier onset and greater persistence than AVA, suggesting that NasoShield may offer both rapid and long-lasting protection with just a single dose. The study results were published in the April 2015 issue of the prestigious journal, Clinical Vaccine Immunology.
Altimmune is headquartered in Gaithersburg, Maryland, with operating sites in the UK and France.
About Altimmune
Altimmune is a clinical stage biotechnology company developing next-generation immunotherapeutics and vaccines to address significant public health and biodefense needs. By leveraging specific attributes of its two independent and complementary platform technologies, Altimmune can rapidly design product candidates against a wide range of disease targets, including respiratory diseases, chronic infections, and cancer. Our Densigen™ T-cell platform technology is uniquely suited to direct the immune response against traditionally difficult disease targets, including chronic infections and cancer, by directing an individual's immune system against multiple target antigens instead of just one. Altimmune's RespirVec™ platform utilizes convenient needle-free intranasal delivery to achieve broad immunity against disease pathogens more rapidly than conventional vaccines. Altimmune's product candidates are easily manufactured, highly stable, and provide a safe, effective alternative to current products. www.altimmune.com.

Global Perspective: Xi's common prosperity agenda faces high hurdle of redistribution
December 27, 2021 (Mainichi Japan)
Copies of the book "The Governance of China" by Chinese President Xi Jinping are seen on display in a bookstore at a commercial plaza at the Winter Olympic Village in Beijing, on Friday, Dec. 24, 2021. (AP Photo/Mark Schiefelbein)
By Akio Takahara, Professor, Graduate School of Public Policy, The University of Tokyo
The end of the year is fast approaching. Miraculously, the number of new COVID-19 cases in Japan is decreasing although the cause of the decline is unclear. Around the world, the disease remains very active and now the new omicron variant is emerging, making many people feel uneasy. In the case of the Spanish flu 100 years ago, it took about three years for the pandemic to end. Even with the progress of human science since then, beating the invisible enemy is no easy task.
In the midst of the current pandemic, Japan made great sacrifices to host the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, for which the world expressed its admiration and gratitude. I would like to express my deepest respect for the efforts of the people involved. Now the Beijing Winter Olympics and Paralympics are to be held in February and March next year. China, which continues to pursue a zero-COVID policy, has already put the country on high alert and restricted the movement of people. We can only hope that the games will be held with no major trouble.
In China, the political season has arrived as the country prepares for next year's party congress. General Secretary Xi Jinping held a Ceremony Marking the Centenary of the Communist Party of China in Tiananmen Square in July, wearing the same gray Zhongshan uniform as the portrait of Mao Zedong, the founding father of the People's Republic of China, that hangs on Tiananmen, the Gate of Heavenly Peace. This fall, he adopted a historical resolution recounting the past 100 years of the party's history, devoting more than half of the document to his nine years of rule in an effort to bolster his authority.
Mr. Xi is reversing the trend of institutionalizing the governance of the Chinese Communist Party and government, which had gradually been established since the 1980s. During the reign of his predecessor, Hu Jintao, the bureaucratic system was developed and, in some ways, perfected.
For example, a strict personnel evaluation system was introduced for the promotion and hiring of cadres, and a system of indexing governance performance, workplace voting, and written examinations was put in place. The pyramid of nomenclature, so to speak, was neatly visualized -- the party's central committee was set to be formed by the heads of the party and government departments reporting directly to the politburo and the State Council, the secretaries of provincial party committees and the heads of the provinces, the members of the central military commission, the commanders and political commissars of the military regions, and the heads of some large state-owned enterprises. Before the party congress, a system was even introduced to have the central committee members vote on who would be the next members of the politburo, which sets policies and runs the party.
However, once Xi Jinping took office as general secretary, the system of recruiting cadres based solely on their votes and examination scores was corrected. The popular vote system in selecting next politburo members was dropped. There were also heavy-handed appointments, such as the elevation of Cai Qi, Xi's former subordinate in Fujian and Zhejiang provinces, to the post of secretary of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee, even though he was not a member of the central committee. Just as Mao Zedong disliked bureaucratic rule, Xi has been taking steps to "destroy the bureaucracy" on the pretext of strengthening the party's leadership. As a result, the predictability of his appointments has been significantly reduced.
It is likely that Mr. Xi will continue to hold the top party position at next year's party congress. Will the old party chairmanship be revived, or will a more daring system of electing the top leader by a vote of all party members be introduced, or will the current general secretary system and collective leadership system be maintained? There seems to be a lot of internal debate, but it is unclear at this point what kind of conclusion will be reached.
Five years ago, in 2016, the pros and cons of reviving the party chairmanship were discussed at the Beidaihe conference of top party leaders in the summer, and in the fall, Mr. Xi was conferred the title of "core of the party's central leadership." At the party congress the following year, "Xi Jinping Thought" was written into the party constitution as a guideline for action. In addition, all other politburo members were obliged to report to him on their annual work, and it is a well-known fact that the concentration of authority and power in the hands of Mr. Xi has progressed.
But what is "Xi Jinping Thought"? Although it is adorned with many words, it is difficult to succinctly describe what its essence is. In contrast, the core messages were clear in previous additions to the party's action guidelines , like Deng Xiaoping's "development is the firm principle," Jiang Zemin's "three represents," and Hu Jintao's "balanced development."
But in August of this year, Mr. Xi raised the banner of realizing common prosperity. "Since the 18th Party Congress in 2012," when he became general secretary, Mr. Xi stated, "the party's center has firmly understood the new changes in the stage of development and has placed greater importance on gradually realizing the common prosperity of all the people." Upon hearing this statement, one feels that history has been rewritten again. In any case, it seems that Mr. Xi has decided to make the realization of common prosperity the centerpiece of his governing goals, as he also called for solidifying the foundation of the party's long-term stewardship through this slogan.
This agenda is in line with the goals of the new administrations in Japan and the United States. The Kishida Cabinet touts growth and distribution, while the Biden administration advocates diplomacy for the middle class. The fact that the governments of these countries have similar goals can only be attributed to the fact that they share the same understanding of the problems of our times.
Mr. Xi says that in some countries growing income inequality and the thinning of the middle class brought about social divisions and a flood of populism, which offer a serious lesson for China. He acknowledged that while the scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation are driving economic development in China, they are also seriously affecting employment and income distribution, and effective measures are needed.
As a "third way of distribution" Mr. Xi referred to donations, and this move was effective in encouraging some founders of major IT companies and others to engage in charity one after another. However, redistributive policies such as taxation and social security are still important to correct income inequality. Mr. Xi did mention them. However, as for property taxes, he stopped at saying he would carry out experiments (experiments have already been going on), did not mention the introduction of an inheritance tax at all, and was less than enthusiastic about social security, saying that the government cannot undertake everything.
The realization of common prosperity entails the deprivation of vested interests. The middle class, who have finally been able to own their own homes for the first time since the 1990s, also have vested interests. As the growth rate continues to slow down, will the Xi administration be able to carry out the distribution system reforms that the previous governments of Hu Jintao and Wen Jiabao failed to implement? This will be a test of the governing power of his long-term administration.

With Low Oil, How Far You Can Travel With $50 Of Gas? [LOTS OF CHARTS]
The $50 American Road Trip
Put $50 of gas in your tank. How far do you get? With fuel prices this low, quite a distance. But don't try to hit Miami Beach from downtown Atlanta, though: your tank will run dry by Pompano Beach, with still 35 miles to go. So where do you take your sweet new ride for a long weekend? Assuming there's a gas station in the centre of each of the major cities depicted here – yes, statistics is a funny business – this is how far a $50 tank of gas will get you.
Let's start with that Atlanta example from before. Leaving from there with a $50 gas tank seems an exercise in frustration. Not only does your car give up the ghost before reaching Miami, it also falls just short of Chicago, on the shores of Lake Michigan, and Cleveland, on the shores of Lake Erie. Although the latter failure, according to some, may be a blessing in disguise.
But on the other hand, spending no more than $30 puts you on lots of gorgeous seafront, from the gulf shores of Alabama to the Atlantic coastline of South Carolina. With the next $10, you're rolling into the Big Easy, New Orleans. And although the full $50 doesn't get you to all the fun in Miami or Chicago, you get to go to Washington DC. Go see the sights, take in a museum or two!
What if you leave from other U.S. cities? If range is what you crave, you're better off living in the centre of the country. Otherwise your options are limited by the ocean. Extreme case in point:Miami. One thing we know already: $50 won't get you to Atlanta. Since local gas prices in Florida's biggest city are a bit higher than in Georgia's capital, it won't even get you close. And because Florida's peninsularity works limits your options to the east, west and south, Tallahassee and Savannah are your furthest options. Fortunately, everywhere in between includes Florida's gorgeous beaches. Tampa, a bit further up the peninsula, gets you a lot further inland – up to Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
So basically, the trade-off is between distance and dunes. For the former, start from an inland city. Take Kansas City, for example. A tank with $50 worth of gas gives you the choice of no less than 22 states, from almost all the way north to Canada to halfway down Louisiana, and from lovely Fort Collins, Colorado to all the fun you can have in Columbus, Ohio.
Other cities enjoying the maximum-range benefits of being far inland include Denver (options range from Zion National Park to Des Moines, Iowa, and El Paso to South Dakota!), Chicago, Minneapolis and St. Louis. By the way, that last city is the only one of the big inland metropolises where fifty bucks gets you to the ocean.
A few cities manage to combine an almost circular range with wide access to the beach. Take Cincinnati: you can reach no less than 27 states (and a chunk of Canada), plus get to choose any beach between Savannah and Long Island. Cleveland, Columbus, Detroit, Phoenix and Pittsburgh are similarly situated.
This is how far a $50 gas tank will get you from Atlanta
But with over 40% of Americans living in counties directly on the shore, the most relevant model is the half-circle. Places like San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York or Washington DC. Citizens of these cities can hedge their bets between a day at the seaside, with plenty of beach to choose from, or take their $50 inland, to Las Vegas and beyond (in the case of San Diego), or all the way to Pittsburgh (if you leave from Boston).
For our money, Columbus, OH seems like a good compromise between the attractions of the beach and a wide variety of on-shore options. But think twice before moving there; remember – you'll have to spend another $50 to get back home.

The Ontario government's fight is not with whether climate change is real — "it is" — but with what it believes is a massive, unconstitutional power grab by the federal government to impose a carbon tax on provincial residents, the Ontario Court of Appeal heard Monday.
Ontario Attorney General lawyer Josh Hunter said the federal government is insisting that the only way to lower carbon dioxide emissions is through a pricing scheme that raises the cost of fuels like gasoline and natural gas.
Ontario is challenging the constitutionality of the federal carbon backstop legislation that imposes a carbon pricing scheme in provinces that have balked at putting a price on emissions.
Premier Doug Ford cancelled the previous provincial Liberal cap-and-trade program, and Environment Minister Rod Phillips is preparing a new plan.
The Justin Trudeau bill would allow the federal government to stick its nose into virtually any activity that involves climate change — like operating a wood-burning fireplace, buying a rural home or driving to work every day — and includes areas which under the Constitution fall to provincial legislatures to regulate, Ontario argued before a five-judge panel.
The federal government's plan for carbon pricing gives Ontario no credit for eliminating coal-fired electricity generation, an effort that was reflected in higher hydro bills, or acknowledges that there are other ways to fight climate change, Hunter said.
The fed bill charges fees — an "unconstititional tax" — to emit carbon dioxide, which an individual or corporation can continue to do if it pays up, Hunter said.
"Not emitting greenhouse gases — no prohibition on that anywhere in the act," Hunter said.
The provincial government lawyer noted that promised rebates to individuals and some institutions will be handed out on a per capita basis with no requirement to prove they've actually lowered their carbon footprint.
"You can use it to buy a Hummer," Hunter said.
The judges repeatedly tested the Ontario government lawyers, probing the province's position that the feds had no right under the Constitution to deal with an issue like greenhouse gas emissions which easily cross boundaries.
Justice Robert Sharpe questioned whether the point of the federal program isn't to ensure that people who produce carbon emissions pay a price for the cost to the planet, so the rebate doesn't have to circulate directly back to the individual.
Monday was the first day of what's expected to be a four-day hearing, and the court has yet to hear from various groups that have obtained intervener status or from the federal government.

Climate change and its effect on your health
As we experience some of the worst wildfires in recorded history, it's ever clearer that climate change is here, and it's here to stay. But what does this mean for public health, outside of the acute impact of such disasters? A greater number and frequency of extreme weather events—heat waves, drought, floods, and fires—have modified trends of human migration and thus increased the human-to-human transmission of various diseases. We've also seen an increase in known and unknown pathogenic microorganisms, vectors, and hosts, all of which may pose great risks to our health. This is certainly frightening to think about, but Dr. Rachel Harold, MD, a recent graduate of the infectious disease fellowship at George Washington University added, "There's certainly plenty of opportunity for us to move towards a more low carbon society and change our practices and our economy to change the trajectory and reduce the impact of climate change." One of the greatest ways we can address this is by moving toward more sustainable forms of electricity production and away from our reliance on carbon fuels. Read more
Medical researcher shares new procedure that could cure blindness —
Boton Roska, a Hungarian researcher, recently won a national prize for his new study that has the potential to cure blindness. He was awarded over one million euros to further his gene-based treatment to restore sight, now in clinical trials. The therapy involves the reprogramming of cells in the eye that control light-sensitive receptors necessary for vision; in other words, reactivating retinas to achieve sight similar to that of watching black-and-white television. Fingers crossed as clinical tests on blind volunteers continue. Read more
Cultural considerations for healthcare providers —
As nursing professionals, we must practice cultural awareness with every single patient. That's why we spoke with Kim E. The Diabetes NP to better understand that culture is more than just race; there's culture across genders and generations. Whether it's the dynamic between race, gender, or even individuals of different ages, we must recognize that "culture" has many layers to it, and we cannot function in our biases as healthcare professionals if our goal is to care for everyone. So, how can you address biases you, or those around you, may have? It begins with focusing on the patient as an individual; one person doesn't represent an entire group, and one group doesn't represent an entire person. Read more
Healthy, energy-boosting snacks for nurses —
Nutrition and nourishment are two critical elements of nurse wellness. So, we teamed up with Joy Bauer, nutrition expert for NBC's Today show, to learn how to snack prep in style and keep ourselves energized while doing so — even during the longest 12-hour shifts. Joy led us through a power-packed snack demo and opened the floor for live nutrition Q&A. You can find all of her energy-boosting recipes and the full event recording on our blog. Read more
The epitome of nurse advocacy —
Dawn Wooten, a licensed practical nurse at Irwin County Detention Center in Georgia, recently supported a complaint issued to Homeland Security. The 27-page complaint—focused on the above facility, which houses men and women detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement—included information about the facility's refusal to test detainees for COVID-19, even when they had fevers (and even though over $28,000 was spent on COVID-19 testing equipment). The complaint also includes information on questionable hysterectomies taking place on detainees as well as the shredding of official medical records. Wooten noted that it was not clear whether women consented to the hysterectomies, or if they even understood what was about to be done. Multiple nurses also raised concerns about the doctor performing these surgeries, who Wooten calls "the uterus collector." So far, ICE said it will not comment on these matters before the inspector general but that it is taking these allegations seriously. Once a nurse, always an advocate; thank you, Dawn. Read more
The key to successful vaccine distribution —
When an effective vaccine is approved and ready for public dispersal, there are various boxes that must be checked. First, plans must be put into place early, even before a vaccine is approved. This includes the acknowledgement of systemic and individual responsibilities as well as an agreed-upon, concrete distribution plan. Second, federal, state, and local officials must be onboard and ready to lead the distribution strategy. Third, the federal government or military alone cannot be charged with the physical distribution of the vaccine; trusted public health officials and entities must be on the ground, ready to distribute vaccines in unison. Fourth, vaccine distribution must take a triage strategy, not one of first-come, first-served basis. And fifth, a strong combination of multiple-organization involvement, ample resources, and constant communication are essential to a successful distribution plan. Read more
Officials claim the CDC didn't write current testing guidelines on its site —
The recent, and controversial, guideline on the CDC's site stating that people without COVID-19 symptoms don't need to get tested apparently came directly from Human Health and Services officials, skipping the CDC's formal scientific review process. While the original draft was created by the CDC, additional editing and "input" were added by the HHS and Federal Coronavirus Task Force. A new version of the testing guideline is expected to be released today, but has, again, apparently not been cleared by the CDC's scientific review process and is instead being revised by officials from the HHS. What's more? This information comes days after findings that political members of the HHS modified the CDC's weekly reports on scientific research. Some experts think the current guidelines were motivated by political goals in order to make the number of confirmed cases look smaller than it really is. Read more

← Islamic finance: What it is, and how it works
Dr. Hussein Hamid Hassan: All Arabs will prefer Islamic banking →
CIMA first UK institute to offer Islamic Finance qualification
ONE of the UK's leading accountancy bodies will this week try to cash in on the growing popularity of Islamic banking with the launch of an Islamic finance qualification.
The Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) will become the first accountancy body in the UK to train its members in Islamic financial law, which prohibits the receipt and payment of interest. Investments in industries such as alcohol and gambling are also banned.
According to the Financial Services Authority, the Islamic finance industry is now worth up to £250bn globally. Over the past five years several mainstream UK banks, including HSBC, have started to offer products such as Islamic mortgages and current accounts to Britain's Muslim communities.
Islamic banking had previously been restricted to specialist Islamic banks and some British Muslims complained that it was difficult to find banking practices that would not conflict with their religion.
According to Gordan Grant, the Edinburgh businessman who took over as president of CIMA in June, financial companies are now crying out for training to help them deliver Islamic financial services.
"Employers are telling us that this is one of the areas that nobody covers at this point in time," he said.
An advisory panel of academics and scholars of Sharia law helped CIMA draw up the self-study qualification. The certificate was also developed in conjunction with Dr Mohd Daud Bakar, chief executive of the International Institute of Islamic Finance.
At the launch of a report into the Islamic finance industry last week, FSA chairman Callum McCarthy said there was considerable potential for Britain's leading banks to expand in this area.
He said: "Islamic finance is a fast-growing force in the world economy and the FSA's open and principle-based approach to regulation offers the right environment for it to flourish in the UK.
"We believe in a 'no obstacles, no special favours' approach when authorising new financial institutions and welcome the development of this market as it provides certain UK consumers with financial products that are in line with their beliefs."
CIMA has engaged Dr. Daud Bakar to vet their certification from a Shariah perspective.

Passed Over for 'Batman', Courtney Became a Film Villain By Accident
Love, an almost megastar, takes the lead in a movie she hates.
By Gem Seddon
The second Kurt Cobain-inspired documentary currently doing the rounds forgoes the nice contemplation of what could have been had the gifted songwriter not killed himself in April 1994. Soaked in Bleach goes straight for the jugular, accusing Cobain's widow, Courtney Love, of being at fault for the Nirvana frontman's demise. The sort-of controversial film puts forward a pretty convincing argument: Love paid to have Cobain murdered.
Let's be real. Love makes a convincing villain. This is presumably why her name came up in coverage celebrating this week's double Batman anniversary (Batman Begins and Batman Forever were released ten and twenty years ago, respectively). The Hollywood Reporter has unearthed all sorts of factoids surrounding Joel Schumacher's scrapped movie Batman Unchained and one involves an early casting wishlist that included Love. The sequel was poised to include The Joker and his paramour Harley Quinn —both of whom are in the upcoming Suicide Squad — with Love tackling the part of Quinn.
Quinn is a notorious character in the DC canon who's not averse to violence, mayhem, and generally making life unpleasant for other people. A bit like Love has a tendency to do. And while it would have been a kick to see her interpretation of the character, her reputation and real-life behavior more than make up for the Harley Quinn that never was. This week, she and her legal team have slapped every movie theater intending to screen Soaked In Bleach with a defamation lawsuit, claiming the film casts her in a negative light. Which it obviously does, but still. Is someone protesting a little too much?
Interestingly enough, Schumacher and screenwriter Mark Protosevich initially planned for Love's Harley Quinn to go through a series of character developments as a "complex, conflicted" woman who is "ultimately a good person underneath." Shame it hasn't worked out like that in real-life.

The Controlled Substance Act classifies heroin as a Schedule I controlled substance. Possessing any amount of heroin is a Class 4 Felony, as it has no medical usage and is extremely addictive. In spite of this, heroin abuse among young people is on the rise in many munipalities and counties. In recent years, there has been increase in the number of heroin overdoses in DuPage County, especially among young people and teenagers. To combat this growing problem, many DuPage leaders — most notably former state Rep. Dennis Reboletti and DuPage County Coroner Rich Jorgensen — have been actively parcipating in the fight against heroin by offering educational seminars for local residents.
Rep. Lang's proposal, which has been garnering a large amount of bipartisan support, has successfully moved out of the Illinois House with unanimous vote of 114-0, and will soon move on to the Illinois Senate. However, the Senate needs to act quickly in order for it to reach Gov. Bruce Rauner's desk before Sunday's adjournment of the law making body. If approved, Lang says the legislation would enable drug courts to "move away from the criminal model for drug addicts to a rehab model".

Hungarian Mass Honoring Miklos Horthy Canceled After Jewish Protests
A Budapest church has called off a memorial mass it was planning to hold in honor of Miklos Horthy , former Hungarian leader and NSDAP ally on Saturday – "International Holocaust Remembrance Day" – after protests from Hungarian Jews and the World Jewish Congress.
Parliament's deputy speaker who is member of the ruling Fidesz party of Prime Minister Viktor Orban, had been due to speak at the event .
The planned ceremony for Horthy, an admiral who led Hungary for 24 years until 1944 triggered strong objections from Jewish organizations.
With the WJC declaring it a provocative measure honoring an "unabashed anti-semite", the Budapest church which had organized the Catholic ceremony, canceled the event on Thursday.
The affair, ahead of a parliamentary election on April 8, has thrown a spotlight again on the policies of Orban who has an ambivalent track record on anti-Semitism.
He has repeatedly pledged zero tolerance for anti-Semitism, though he has called Horthy an "exceptional statesman." He has risked angering Israel and Jewish people with remarks about "ethnic homogeneity" ahead of the April 8 election.
He has also used a massive billboard campaign against U.S. billionaire George Soros, a Hungarian-born Jew, to promote an anti-immigrant agenda.
Zoltan Osztie, the priest of the Budapest church, said the church had a tradition of organizing a mass for Horthy each year and nobody had noticed that Saturday was also International Holocaust Remembrance day .
"We could be blamed for this perhaps, but these two events can not be juxtaposed. Nonetheless, after discussion with church leaders a decision has been made that neither the memorial ceremony nor the mass will take place," he told szemlelek.blog.hu.
WJC President Ronald S. Lauder asked Orban to intervene, calling the event "nothing short of a provocative measure."


Do not get me wrong here. I support what Senator Ted Cruz has been doing since elected from the great state of TEXAS, His stands, both inside the hallowed chamber of the US Senate, and out in public, have been GREAT. I support and agree with 99.9% of what he has done and said, but that does not equate to unconditional support for his election to the POTUS position. I know, I know, I will get a LOT of flak for this and it puts me on the wrong side of many people that have said otherwise but let me explain.
The key phrase here is NATURAL BORN CITIZEN, though people now a days focus on the second part "or a Citizen of the United States", mainly due to the election of the current resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. The applicant must also be at least 35 years of age, which so far has not been a problem.
But let's look at the reason for the "Citizen of the United States…" and "been fourteen years a resident within the United States". Remember, when this was written there were no "Natural Born Citizens" as the country had just been founded. All Citizens were then just that, Citizens of the United States, nothing more, nothing less. They had been citizens under the Crown of England, or some other country before hand, but were now citizens of the new country. The founders, in their wisdom put a road block in place to shield from agents of the Crown taking up the Presidency by requiring anyone in that office to have actually resided within the territorial area that was now the U.S. to have done so for 14 consecutive years. Make sense? Yes, Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio would both match all this criteria IF that was all it was. Yet it is not. It is still questionable as to whether B.H.O matches it or not, but this is not about him.
Knowing that it would take at least 1 generation to begin to get Natural Born Citizens to qualify (those born within the geographic boundaries of the United States and not the Colonies) they inserted the NATURAL BORN CLAUSE but left out any explanation as to just what was meant. So we have to look elsewhere, as close to the writing of this document as possible to try and figure out the intent of this clause.
House Report No. 784, dated June 22, 1874, stated, "The United States have not recognized a 'double allegiance.' By our law a citizen is bound to be 'true and faithful' alone to our government." This actually rules out anyone that, by issue of birth, has dual citizenship, and therefore the possibility of dual allegiances to two separate countries. See where we get into trouble already with Senator Cruz? He was born in Canada and until just recently, held "Citizenship" status to Canada and to the United states. It also, if you believe the reports of BHO's Kenyan birth, rules him out.
People then fall back on English Common Law for an answer but that is whimsical at best. Under the old English common law, birth was viewed as enjoining a "perpetual allegiance" upon all to the King that could never be severed or altered by any change of time or act of anyone. England's "perpetual allegiance" due from birth was extremely unpopular in this country; often referred to as absurd barbarism, or simply perpetual nonsense. America went to war with England over the doctrine behind "natural-born subject" in June of 1812.
So where do we look? The 14th Amendment, which was written 90 years after the founders inserted NATURAL BORN CITIZEN? I don't believe so because, in the words of the writer of that Document it is to be used for "allowing the status of Citizenship to be conferred to the freed slaves". It also deals with "who may be born CITIZENS" but not Natural Born Citizens, the requirement of the Constitution.
Let's look at the opinions of some world renowned legal minds of that time for a bit.
The Law of Nations,written by Emmerich de Vattel, a Swiss-German philosopher of law in 1797 states in Sub Section 212. Citizens and natives. "The citizens are the members of the civil society: bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens." Yet this is an English translation of an earlier book, one written BEFORE the Founders brought forth a new Nation, and might shed even more light onto the mindset of the framers of the Constitution.
The French original of 1757, on that same passage read thus: Les naturels, ou indigenes, sont ceux qui sont nes dans le pays de parents citoyens, . . .The terms "natives" and "natural born citizens" are obviously English and French terms; used to render the idea convyed by the French phrase "les naturels, ou indigenes": but both refered to the same category of citizen: one born in the country, of parents who were citizens of that country.
So we now have an idea as to the original meaning, used by the Founders, of NATURAL BORN CITIZEN. They are clearly not those born in a foreign country and/or subject to foreign laws and allegiances. As evidenced by House Report No. 784 quoted above. Nor are they born in this country of a parent or parents that have dual allegiances either as it is clearly stated who are citizens (plural meaning both) of the country. It is also clear that the intent be BOTH PARENTS (hence the plural of the word) be citizens of the country. So, we now know that in order to be a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN of the United States, the Framers intended that one be "BORN WITHIN THE UNITED STATES, SUBJECT TO IT'S JURISDICTION (LAWS), AND BE BORN OF BOTH PARENTS WHO ARE, AT THE TIME OF BIRTH, CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES".
But looking at the writings of foreign born scholars, though it gives us a clear picture as to the intent of the framers, is not enough, by it's self, to nail the lid down on this matter. We need precedence founded in American Law to do that. So let's look to the Supreme Court of the United States for that. There are 4 cases that were decided close to the founding.
"The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives or indigenes are those born in the country of parents who are citizens. Society not being able to subsist and to perpetuate itself but by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights." It goes on to describe the difference between natural born and "Inhabitants", or citizens from somewhere else. "The inhabitants, as distinguished from citizens, are strangers who are permitted to settle and stay in the country. Bound by their residence to the society, they are subject to the laws of the state while they reside there, and they are obliged to defend it" … an almost direct quote from The Laws of Nations!! Once again, and this time from the SCOTUS, a Natural Born Citizen must be "Born in the country of parents who are (themselves) citizens of the country" and separates them from those "inhabitant" citizens who are not born in, but reside in the country.
"Ann Scott was born in South Carolina before the American revolution, and her father adhered to the American cause and remained and was at his death a citizen of South Carolina. There is no dispute that his daughter Ann, at the time of the Revolution and afterwards, remained in South Carolina until December, 1782. Whether she was of age during this time does not appear. If she was, then her birth and residence might be deemed to constitute her by election a citizen of South Carolina. If she was not of age, then she might well be deemed under the circumstances of this case to hold the citizenship of her father, for children born in a country, continuing while under age in the family of the father, partake of his national character as a citizen of that country." *Note: this case was to determine the citizenship purely for an inheritance from the Father, but still lays out that, according to the SCOTUS in 1830, the right of Citizenship passed from the Citizenship of the Father and still relies upon being born within the United States.
Justice Gray goes on to tackle the issue of Citizenship brought forth by the adoption of the 14th Amendment….and splits Native Citizen from Natural Born Citizen….
So there you have it folks. It is clear that the Founding Fathers, when setting out the stringent qualifications to become President of The United states made it a CONSTITUTIONAL REQUIREMENT that the person be a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN (born within the United States, of parents who are both Citizens of the United States at the time of birth) and thus can not be a person with any allegiance to a foreign country (dual citizenship) at the time of their birth. This person can not be born in a foreign country, even a great ally like Canada, and can not be born to either parent who is not a citizen of the United States.
Therefore I submit that though I feel Ted Cruz may make a great President, if he was qualified under the Constitution, he is sadly NOT CONSTITUTIONALLY nor as a matter of the Laws of the United States, as interpreted by the Supreme Court, qualified for the job.
I agree with 90% but not about Cruz,hes is our only hope for Man with Reagan values for this Country.
Mary, either he IS qualified by the Constitution or he ISN'T qualified by the Constitution…doesn't matter if he is the reincarnation of President Reagan. If he does not meet the definition of Natural Born Citizen then he is not qualified.

2019 Wangaratta Contemporary Textile Award
Photo by Fancycrave on Unsplash
Copyright: Image by Fancycrave on Unsplash
Arts Law regularly reviews the terms and conditions of competitions and rates them out of five stars. Our review looks broadly at the terms and conditions of a competition. In particular, we look closely at how a competition deals with an entrant's copyright and moral rights, and consider this in light of the prize. Entrants should always take into account the possible profile-raising which may result from being a finalist or winner.
By accepting the terms and conditions of a competition, entrants should be aware that they may be entering a legally binding contract.
For more information, see our free information sheet on competition conditions. Artists are welcome to contact Arts Law for legal advice on the terms of a competition. We also invite competition organisers to contact Arts Law for best practice assistance to make their terms and conditions fairer for artists.
Please note: Prior to February 2018, Arts Law's rated out of five stars only the terms of a competition which dealt with copyright and moral rights (using our previous rating systems https://www.artslaw.com.au/advocacy/prizes-and-competitions ) Arts Law's competition reviews are now more holistic, such that our rating out of five stars now reflects a broad review of all the terms and conditions of the competition.
This month, Arts Law has reviewed the terms and conditions of the Wangaratta Contemporary Textile Award 2019 run by the Wangaratta Art Gallery (the Gallery) in Victoria. Details about the competition can be read here and the General Terms and Conditions of Entry are here.
The competition is currently open with a submission deadline of 1 March 2019, 5pm AEST. The competition is open to all Australian professional practicing artists working in textile media.
Arts Law has rated this competition 4.5 out of 5 stars.
Prior to publishing our review, Arts Law spoke with the Gallery about its terms and conditions. Arts Law is impressed with the Gallery taking steps to update its terms and conditions, despite the upcoming competition deadline, which demonstrates its respect for artists' rights. Further, the Gallery indicated to Arts Law that it intends to uphold the artists' interests.
The Wangaratta Contemporary Textile Award 2019 is a A$10,000 acquisitive award and exhibition hosted by the Gallery which focuses on contemporary Australian textile art. Entry is open to all Australian practising artists working in textile media.
All works submitted must be available for exhibition and sale. A shortlist of works will be selected for the exhibition at the Gallery, from which a winner will be chosen and the winning work will be automatically acquired for the Gallery's collection.
The Gallery, at its discretion, may also make additional acquisitions from the shortlisted works.
Entrants get to state the sale price on the entry form. Entrants should note there will be a 20% commission taken by Gallery on sales. This is acceptable for sales to third parties, but in respect of acquisitions the competition should clearly state whether the Gallery is effectively intending to acquire the works for its permanent collection at a discounted rate. In any event, entrants are advised that they should add 20% to the value of their work to ensure that their proposed sale price takes the Gallery's commission into account.
In terms of how copyright in the works is dealt with, the shortlisted finalists grant the Gallery a non-exclusive, non-commercial licence without fee to allow the reproduction of images of their artworks. This licence is stated to "include" reproduction of the artwork for purpose of the production of the catalogue (which is further limited to a print run 1000 copies), website, publicity and associated publications, marketing and educational purposes solely related to the publicity period of the Award of 2019 (being May 2019 – July 2021). We are very pleased to see that this licence is limited to finalists only (as opposed to being required from all entrants), that it is for a fixed and reasonable period, that it is non-commercial (in that the Gallery can not commercialise its reproduction of the artworks) and importantly that it is non-exclusive (meaning the artist is free to license the use of its artwork to third parties). It would be even better if it was expressly stated that the use of the artworks must only be for the purpose of promoting the Award and/or Exhibition. That said, it is a good example of an artist-friendly copyright licence.
Note, this licence only applies to finalists and the winner must enter into a separate licence and collection agreement (the terms of which are not yet currently stated).
It is excellent that the Gallery has clearly acknowledged that unsuccessful entrants entry images and artist details will not be used or shared.
Turning next to moral rights – that is, an artist's right to be credited and for their work to be treated respectfully (that is no derogatory treatment such as changes or alterations which affects their artistic integrity). We note that the terms and conditions do not mention how they will deal with moral rights. Best practice would be to include a term which states that the Gallery will always credit the selected artists when their works are displayed and whenever they are used under the licence they are giving. There should also be a positive obligation in the terms that an artist's permission must first be sought before any alterations / changes are made to their works when they are reproduced, or at least in respect of any changes which are not reasonable changes.
Finally, a few other points to note include that the Gallery has dealt sensibly and reasonably with liability issues. If an artwork is selected for the award and exhibition, the artist will be liable for the transport of the artwork both to and from the Gallery and should maintain the necessary insurances to manage the risk to the artwork during this period. However, the Gallery, in line with industry best practice, has taken responsibility for the works while they are in its possession and control and will insure the works against loss or damage at least while the works are in situ at the Gallery and up until they are collected. Entrants should also note that the terms are silent as to when the artist will receive the payments from the sale of any of their works.
Overall, this is an example of a great competition, which is reflected by the high rating we have awarded. Our rating takes into account not just the copyright terms, but the generous cash prize, the exhibition opportunity, possible further cash acquisitions and sale of works, and profile raising. For an even higher rating, we would have liked to have seen express terms dealing positively with entrants' moral rights in the ways outlined above.

American ambassador: U.S. will 'respect the wishes' of Iraqi government on barrier wall
Lauren Frayer, Associated Press
BAGHDAD (AP) – The American ambassador said Monday the U.S. would "respect the wishes" of the Iraqi government after the prime minister ordered a halt to construction of a three-mile wall separating a Sunni enclave from surrounding Shiite areas in Baghdad.
Any plan to build "gated communities" to protect Baghdad neighborhoods from sectarian attacks was in doubt after Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said during a visit to Sunni-led Arab countries that he did not want the 12-foot high wall in Azamiyah to be seen as dividing the capital's sects.
However, confusion persisted about whether the plan would continue in some form: The chief Iraqi military spokesman said Monday the prime minister was responding to exaggerated reports about the barrier.
"We will continue to construct the security barriers in the Azamiyah neighborhood. This is a technical issue," Brig. Gen. Qassim al-Moussawi said. "Setting up barriers is one thing and building barriers is another. These are moveable barriers than can be removed."
Al-Moussawi noted similar walls were in place elsewhere in the capital _ including in other residential neighborhoods _ as part of a nearly 10-week-old security operation. But hundreds of protesters took to the streets of Azamiyah to oppose what they called "a big prison."
"The main aim of these barriers is to protect civilians and to guarantee that security forces are in control and prevent terrorists from moving between areas," al-Moussawi said.
The U.S. military announced last week that it was building a three-mile long concrete wall in Azamiyah, a Sunni stronghold whose residents have often been the victims of retaliatory mortar attacks by Shiite militants following bombings usually blamed on Sunni insurgents.
But al-Maliki ordered construction halted on Sunday and U.S. officials said that the plans could change.
"Obviously we will respect the wishes of the government and the prime minister," U.S. Ambassador Ryan Crocker said Monday.
He said the barrier was aimed at protecting Azamiyah, not segregating it. Sunni leaders and residents of the neighborhood, however, complain that it is a form of discrimination that would isolate the community.
"There are other methods to protect neighborhoods," al-Maliki said Sunday in his first public comments on the issue, "but I should point out that the goal was not to separate, but to protect."
"This wall reminds us of other walls that we reject, so I've ordered it to stop and to find other means of protection for the neighborhoods," he added during a televised live news conference during a state visit to Cairo, Egypt.
Lt. Col. Christopher Garver, a U.S. military spokesman, indicated that there may have been a miscommunication.
"Discussions on a local level may not have been conveyed to the highest levels of the Iraqi government," Garver said.
Al-Maliki is seeking to drum up support for his Shiite-led government among mostly Sunni Arab nations and his comments may have been aimed at appeasing them.
"Whether the prime minister saw this plan or not, I don't know. With him in Cairo, it complicates things," Garver said.
Hundreds of demonstrators in Azamiyah shouted slogans and carried posters saying the concrete barrier would make them prisoners of their own neighborhoods and an easier target for terrorists.
Protesters carried banners with slogans such as the "separation wall is a big prison for Azamiyah citizens" and "Azamiyah children want to see Baghdad without walls." No violence was reported.
Dawood al-Azami, deputy director of the Azamiyah city council, said a questionnaire that was handed out in the area on Sunday indicated that 90 percent of the respondents strongly oppose the barrier.
Bombings around Iraq killed at least 27 people and wounded nearly 60, authorities said, including a suicide attack in an Iraqi restaurant just outside the heavily fortified Green Zone.
A parked car bomb also exploded outside the Iranian Embassy in Baghdad, killing one civilian, and a drive-by shooting wounded two guards at Tunisia's Embassy in the capital, police said.
Crocker, who replaced Zalmay Khalilzad as U.S. ambassador, urged Iraqi legislators to pass key legislation that it is hoped will help bring minority Sunnis into the political process, saying "these months ahead are going to be critical."
He said the security plan was important but its main purpose was to "buy time for what ultimately has to be a set of political understandings among Iraqis.
Crocker said the intention of the barrier in Azamiyah as well as those constructed around markets in the capital is "to try and identify where the fault lines are and where avenues of attack lie and set up the barriers literally to prevent those attacks."
"It is in no one's intention or thinking that this is going to be a permanent state of affairs," he added.

Musk's company aims to soon test brain implant in people

Tech billionaire Elon Musk said his Neuralink company is seeking permission to test its brain implant in people soon.
In a "show and tell" presentation livestreamed Wednesday night, Musk said his team is in the process of asking U.S. regulators to allow them to test the device. He said he thinks the company should be able to put the implant in a human brain as part of a clinical trial in about six months, though that timeline is far from certain.
Musk's Neuralink is one of many groups working on linking brains to computers, efforts aimed at helping treat brain disorders, overcoming brain injuries and other applications.
The field dates back to the 1960s, said Rajesh Rao, co-director of the Center for Neurotechnology at the University of Washington. "But it really took off in the 90s. And more recently we've seen lots of advances, especially in the area of communication brain computer interfaces."
Rao, who watched Musk's presentation online, said he doesn't think Neuralink is ahead of the pack in terms of brain-computer interface achievements. "But ... they are quite ahead in terms of the actual hardware in the devices," he said.
The Neuralink device is about the size of a large coin and is designed to be implanted in the skull, with ultra-thin wires going directly into the brain. Musk said the first two applications in people would be restoring vision and helping people with little or no ability to operate their muscles rapidly use digital devices.
He said he also envisions that in someone with a broken neck, signals from the brain could be bridged to Neuralink devices in the spinal cord.
"We're confident there are no physical limitations to enabling full body functionality," said Musk, who recently took over Twitter and is the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX.
In experiments by other teams, implanted sensors have let paralyzed people use brain signals to operate computers and move robotic arms. In a 2018 study in the journal PLOS ONE, three participants with paralysis below the neck affecting all of their limbs used an experimental brain-computer interface being tested by the consortium BrainGate. The interface records neural activity from a small sensor in the brain to navigate things like email and apps.
A recent study in the journal Nature, by scientists at the Swiss research center NeuroRestore, identified a type of neuron activated by electrical stimulation of the spinal cord, allowing nine patients with chronic spinal cord injury to walk again.
Researchers have also been working on brain and machine interfaces for restoring vision. Rao said some companies have developed retinal implants, but Musk's announcement suggested his team would use signals directly targeting the brain's visual cortex, an approach that some academic groups are also pursuing, "with limited success."
Neuralink spokespeople did not immediately respond to an email to the press office. Dr. Jaimie Henderson, a neurosurgery professor at Stanford University who is an adviser for Neuralink, said one-way Neuralink is different than some other devices is that it has the ability to reach into deeper layers of the brain. But he added: "There are lots of different systems that have lots of different advantages."
