Why Is Spider-Man Not On Disney Plus?
Matt Goddard Nov 8, 2021 12:29 pm Nov 8, 2021 12:29 pm
Disney Plus didn't take long to become a hub for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. A new generation of MCU limited series has arrived on the platform in 2021, side by side with cinematic adventures. If you're in the mood for a Marvel film, Disney Plus is the place to catch up with Captain America, Black Widow, Iron Man, Hulk, and the Guardians of the Galaxy. But what about everybody's favorite friendly neighborhood Spider-Man?
The web-slinger is present on the streaming service in his MCU debut, Captain America: Civil War, and helps save the universe in Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. But if you're looking for his solo adventures, you won't find them on Disney Plus. That means Tom Holland's current take on Peter Parker in Spider-Man: Homecoming and Spider-Man: Far From Home are not on the platform as part of the MCU's lineup, which you can otherwise binge in its entirety. It also means that you won't find the films of Holland's spider-powered predecessors, Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire.
Now that Spider-Man: No Way Home has raised expectations of a multiversal crossover with multiple Spider-Men alongside their respective on-screen villains, many fans are wondering: why can't we stream all the films in once place before seeing No Way Home, specifically Disney Plus?
Disney Plus without a Spider-Man
Sony Pictures has produced Spider-Man's solo adventures since they first bought the film rights from Marvel in 1999. Before the comics company launched its MCU and was purchased by Disney, the deal gave Marvel 5% of Spider-Man movie revenue and an equal share of merchandising profits.
Sony produced five Spidey films in the 12 years between Spider-Man and The Amazing Spider-Man, earning over $3.9 billion at the world box office. The film rights were dependent on them producing a movie every five years, which explains their frequency and the 2021 reboot. But while The Amazing Spider-Man was one of the most technically accomplished Spider-Man films, its box office performance didn't meet Sony's expectations. It ended its run in 2014 with almost half the domestic box office of 2002's Spider-Man.
That disappointment came in the year that Marvel Cinematic Universe's Phase Two hit a new stride with Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Guardians of the Galaxy (with a combined box office haul of $1.48 billion). As the MCU grew, a Spider-Man-shaped hole was increasingly noticeable. It suited both studios and fans to link up their webs. The result was an uneasy alliance between the two, struck in 2015. It was a deceptively simple deal, as no money was exchanged other than a one-off payment from Marvel Studios to Sony Pictures of $175 million in exchange for complete control of merchandising rights. The deal benefited both parties, promoting higher box office numbers across Spider-Man-led films at both studios.
Since 2016's Captain America: Civil War, Marvel Studios has explored opportunities to integrate MCU characters into Spider-Man films (see Iron Man, Happy Hogan, and Doctor Strange thus far), while Sony Pictures has final creative control and the ability to finance and distribute each Spider-Man movie it produces. Columbia Pictures has officially served as co-producer with Marvel Studios, including on Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.
This mutually beneficial deal instantly assured Spider-Man's inclusion in the MCU, but it was only as good as the deal. That seemed to break in 2019, earlier than many expected. Fortunately, an immediate backlash brought the studios back to the table and extended the agreement.
It's the simplicity and effectiveness of this deal, which had seemed too good to be true before it was announced, that makes Spider-Man's limited presence on Disney Plus a constant surprise. That is, until you factor in that Sony's film rights include home distribution rights. Movie theaters are one thing, but Spider-Man's full arrival on Disney Plus would have required a separate deal.
Where can you watch Sony's Spider-Man films?
Sony has traditionally partnered with Starz, where you can currently watch the original live-action Spider-Man (2002). Currently, your best bet if you want to catch Sony's other Spider-Man films is to rent or buy them on Prime Video, Apple TV Plus, Vudu, Google Play, or YouTube. In time for Spidey's latest outing in movie theaters, Sony is also releasing new collected editions of the Spider-Man trilogy and The Amazing Spider-Man movies in 4K.
However, in 2021, Netflix secured first-look TV streaming rights with Sony. Starting in 2022, all future Sony films, including the Spider-Man series, will premiere on Netflix first.
Will all the Spider-films ever arrive on Disney Plus?
Following the announcement of their deal with Netflix, Sony confirmed a deal with Disney to bring new releases and previous films to Hulu and other channels on Disney Plus. 2022 is the magic year, as it's when new theatrical releases are expected to land on the platform at the start of a four-year window.
You can expect to find Spider-Man's complete adventures in the MCU available on the streamer starting next year.
What Spider-Man content can you find on Disney Plus right now?
Disney's streaming service isn't a web-free zone. While his recent big-screen solo adventures aren't available, Spider-Man swings through several MCU films produced by Marvel. Get your Spider-fill on Disney Plus with:
You can also catch hours of Spidey's animated adventures on Disney Plus. The streamer has collected classic series, including his 1980s team-up with Iceman and Firestar and his legendary 1990s animated run.
Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends (1981)
Spider-Man: The Animated Series (1994)

Spider-Man's next big-screen adventure, Spider-Man: No Way Home, arrives in theaters on Dec. 17, 2021.


For today's post, I was able to collaborate with friend and architectural photographer Matthew Carbone. While catching up over happy hour one day, we began chatting about the use of people in an architectural photo shoot. I was explaining how this had become a push from leadership at my firm, and wanted to get his take on whether or not he was seeing this same request from other clients. It led to an interesting discussion that I had to capture and share, so here it is!
Architectural photography has been known for its multitude of famous photographers — Ezra Stoller, Julius Schulman, Balthazar Korab, and Hedrich Blessing to name a few. Their classic imagery remains an influence to this day. Being a younger photographer myself, I get the feeling that if a project wasn't photographed by one of these marquee photographers, a firm was left with very little to choose from in terms of how to capture their design.
However, the trade has changed significantly since that time. Today there are numerous talented photographers in most cities, of different ages, styles and processes, all creating interesting work making it a great time for the market. One of the most significant changes in photography has been digital over taking film as the most used medium. This has revolutionized how architectural photographers work with lighting, thereby allowing greater usage of people in the photographs. Including people in architectural photos is not a new concept, as many classic images illustrate. What has changed is the entire process for shooting a scene with people.
Why Include People in Photographs?
SCALE. Ezra Stoller's photograph of SOM designed McMath Solar Telescope on Kitts Peak. The scale of this massive structure, unfamiliar to the human eye, is revealed by the inclusion of a person.
STYLE. Julius Schulman's work photographing the modern movement of Southern California. He was able to capture that specific lifestyle in each of his photographs, including the Case Study House 21.
REVEAL. The possibilities of modern design make the usage of people in photographs a terrific way to help explain the space.
LIVEN IT UP. Capturing people brings a photograph to life and allows viewers to place themselves in the context.The possibilities of modern design make the usage of people in photographs a terrific way to help explain the space.
MODELS. To avoid the designer and/or camera crew in every photograph, some firms are now hiring models for the shoot day. This can be as simple as using a temp agency to secure five or six people for a half day. Or below is a photo of my dog posing for a vet's office in Columbus, he was paid in treats.
DATING THE PHOTOGRAPH. Including people will date your photographs. The laptops, iPads, clothes, touch screens, and other context in your photo is like a giant timestamp on your image. In 10 years it will look old, in 20 years it'll be completely out of style, and in 50 years perhaps it will be a classic.
STAGED vs. NATURAL. As a photographer you need to be able to handle both environment types, and understand that your techniques should adjust given the circumstance. In this uncontrolled environment, I made 17 different frames (all of the same exposure) and built the scene in Photoshop.
VARIATIONS. Your client will thank you for giving them options. Same shot, with and without people.

Objectives To carry out a meta-analysis to examine the prognostic performance of the Mortality in Emergency Department Sepsis (MEDS) score in predicting mortality among emergency department patients with a suspected infection.
Methods Electronic databases—PubMed, Embase, Scopus, EBSCO and the Cochrane Library—were searched for eligible articles from their respective inception through February 2019. Sensitivity, specificity, likelihood ratios and receiver operator characteristic area under the curve were calculated. Subgroup analyses were performed to explore the prognostic performance of MEDS in selected populations.
Results We identified 24 studies involving 21 246 participants. The pooled sensitivity of MEDS to predict mortality was 79% (95% CI 72% to 84%); specificity was 74% (95% CI 68% to 80%); positive likelihood ratio 3.07 (95% CI 2.47 to 3.82); negative likelihood ratio 0.29 (95% CI 0.22 to 0.37) and area under the curve 0.83 (95% CI 0.80 to 0.86). Significant heterogeneity was seen among included studies. Meta-regression analyses showed that the time at which the MEDS score was measured and the cut-off value used were important sources of heterogeneity.
Conclusion The MEDS score has moderate accuracy in predicting mortality among emergency department patients with a suspected infection. A study comparison MEDS and qSOFA in the same population is needed.

I want to take readers through some of my previous writing on ideology and character, and how they help form the societies we live in. Taking the time to read these articles (a short book's worth), should vastly improve your understanding of the world and the articles to come. It should be worth your time even if you read the articles when they were published, as, at the time, they lacked both context and commentary, and were not collated to be read together so that the connections were obvious.

The nerds obsess over the theoretical purity, ignoring social reality. A small band of nerds addresses social reality. Then: a $2b company!
Distribution is right; the social reality is a trap. Centralization of information storage is centralization of control over people.
Just sit down and seriously think about a company that hosts "distributed" version control repositories being valued at $2,000,000,000.
When I say "distribution is right", it's mostly a lament that our world is not configured to reward distribution. GitHub build great stuff.
So, let's hear it for the amateurs. Be proud of your independence, your passion and your creativity. Just because you're not being paid doesn't mean you're any less smart, appreciated or talented. Any job can earn money. (Besides, even professional writers are generally poorly-paid.) But it's a rare and precious thing to find work that satisfies heart and soul. So if you love it, do it.

Content on the web is not king. Half the time it's barely the jester. Unless created by an individual or one of the dwindling sources of legitimate journalism, it's rarely produced for noble intentions like education or entertainment.

So ads are out of control even for sites. That's so removed from the world of print, where an editor could veto or move an ad, that it's boggling.
It's this lack of control – the mad desire and demand by advertisers to get everything, indifferent to the effect of the user experience on the reader – that is driving people to adblockers. It's a variant of the tragedy of the commons.

It strikes me as an inferior design decision, arising from inattention. It's a minor problem, sure, and there are more pressing ones in the software. I have seen Apple Music streams drop mid-play; other users have lost music with iTunes Match.
iTunes Really Is That Bad by Robinson Meyer (1111 words).

Apple famously does not do usability testing, and is woefully ignorant of use cases of ordinary people, content to push style on the masses.
Apple is a fashion company from day one, not a design company. From the iPod to the watch, style not use has led them.
Apple will pay the price though – when I complain about iTunes everyone says "just use Spotify."
Let's think about that for a second.
Apple's willful ignorance of user behavior, needs and desires in favor of fashion will force their user base into the arms of competition.
Usability isn't charity, it's good business.
Like a pair of comfortable jeans, comfortable use triumphs the latest fashion.
I hate iTunes not bc its profound unusability but because of its arrogance. Apple thinks it can impose sloppy ux in users bc they are cool.
Every designer knows how bad iTunes has been for years. It's a known problem. Crazy that Apple hasn't fixed it.

Michelle Obama's IVF story
Former First Lady Michelle Obama has released a memoir in which she reveals difficulties about her marriage and pregnancy with her two daughters.
In the book, Becoming, Mrs Obama reveals that she had a miscarriage and used in vitro fertilisation to conceive both children, Malia and Sasha.
Mrs Obama told ABC's Good Morning America she felt "lost and alone" after her miscarriage 20 years ago.
She also criticised Donald Trump for "putting my family's safety at risk".
Mrs Obama and her husband, former President Barack Obama, sought couples therapy, she also revealed for the first time in her 426-page book, which will be released on Tuesday.
Following publication, the first African-American first lady will tour 10 cities including London.
On pregnancy
Mrs Obama, a former lawyer and hospital administrator, told ABC that after her miscarriage, "I felt like I failed because I didn't know how common miscarriages were because we don't talk about them.
"We sit in our own pain, thinking that somehow we're broken," she said, adding that "it's important to talk to young mothers about the fact that miscarriages happen".
She said that when she was around 34 years old, she realized that "the biological clock is real" and that "egg production is limited", which made her decide to seek in-vitro fertilisation.
"I think it's the worst thing that we do to each other as women, not share the truth about our bodies and how they work," Mrs Obama told ABC's Robin Roberts on Good Morning America.
On her marriage
Mrs Obama revealed that the couple's relationship struggled at times, especially after her husband joined the state legislature, leaving her at home where she was forced to administer IVF shots herself.
"Marriage counselling for us was one of those ways where we learned how to talk out our differences," she told ABC.
"I know too many young couples who struggle and think that somehow there's something wrong with them. And I want them to know that Michelle and Barack Obama, who have a phenomenal marriage and who love each other, we work on our marriage.
"And we get help with our marriage when we need it."
She also describes falling in love with Mr Obama one summer night in Chicago.
"As soon as I allowed myself to feel anything for Barack," she writes, "the feelings came rushing - a toppling blast of lust, gratitude, fulfilment, wonder."

A few years ago, Google introduced an app to the Wii U with Wii Street U, which allowed you to pick any location on the globe, then access the street view so you could tour the world. Well after being available for a few years, the time has come for it to be shut off. We received an official announcement that those that had downloaded the app will no longer be able to use it after March 31, 2016. It will be removed from the eShop as well.
If you want to see what it was about, I would recommend getting it soon and browsing the world. Just keep in mind that you basically have a month to use it before it's gone for good. It was originally free to anyone with the Wii U console, and then it was offered for a price. When my console was stolen, I had lost my free download of this software. So I did not wish to repurchase it as I had hardly used it. Farewell Wii Street U, I know I will not be missing it.

Home Newswire Dems and the media prepare for 'life without Mueller' — RT USA...
Dems and the media prepare for 'life without Mueller' — RT USA News
Feb 22, 2019: 3:44 pm
As Special Counsel Robert Mueller prepares to issue his long-awaited and likely flaccid 'Russiagate' report, Democrats and their supporters in the media have been riding a rollercoaster of emotions, not all of them pretty.
Set up in 2017 to investigate rumors of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, Mueller's investigation is set to close in a matter of days, with a final report expected shortly afterwards.
Although a handful of key Trump associates, like former campaign manager Paul Manafort and Republican operative Roger Stone, have been charged with process crimes, nobody has been charged with any offenses relating to collusion.
Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper – himself no fan of Trump – told CNN on Wednesday that "the investigation, when completed, could turn out to be quite anti-climactic."
An anti-climactic conclusion would spell disaster for Trump's opponents in Washington, who have hammered the president for 'Russian collusion' for the better part of two years, and for the media, who have never missed a chance to add to the narrative, often with false and outlandish theories.
With Mueller's report unlikely to satisfy their appetite for collusion, Democrats and the media have been going through a bizarre grieving process in recent days, as they get ready to bid farewell to their dear old friend Mueller.
The process is best explained using a time-tested psychological model. Much like a grieving family adapts to the loss of a loved one, Mueller's fans now have a long and rough road to recovery ahead of them. Here's what they can expect:
Denial is, for many people, the first stage of grief. As news circulated of the Mueller investigation's impending conclusion, former FBI number 2 Andrew McCabe appeared on CNN to give viewers a lifeline, saying "it's possible" that Trump is working on behalf of the Russian government.
Andrew McCabe: "Numerous people in and around the president, in and around the campaign, maintained contacts with individuals from Russia, people connected to the Russian intelligence services."
McCabe has said "it's possible" Trump is a Russian asset: https://t.co/Z60SqLfC5Ypic.twitter.com/gbOMgplfoF
— The Hill (@thehill) February 20, 2019
McCabe, who admitted last week that he opened the first iteration of the Trump/Russia investigation without any hard evidence, called the accusations against Trump "extraordinary," and "something we should all be concerned about," again without any evidence.
Similar reports abound in the media. "Trump must be a Russian agent," read a headline last month from Wired, because "the alternative is just too awful."
Wired's logic states that if the president isn't aiding Russia through malevolence, then he must be doing it through incompetence.
"No evidence has emerged publicly," linking Trump with Russia, the article states, "But there are plenty of bread crumbs pointing to the idea that such evidence exists secretly, with investigators."
There's loads of evidence, but you can't see it, because it's a secret. Okay.
If it's true and the Mueller report is released next week, you know what that means, right?
DONALD TRUMP JR. will likely be arrested next week as well!
Thoughts and Prayers Junior!
— Ed Krassenstein (@EdKrassen) February 20, 2019
As McCabe writes in #TheThreat (can't find page so paraphrasing): even if Mueller is fired, this doesn't end. The case exists in too many brains now for it to go away. Trump will spend the rest of his life either in prison, in court, or on the run.
WE WILL PREVAIL!
— Greg Olear (@gregolear) February 21, 2019
Denial soon gives way to anger. As always, Twitter is chock-full of that. Regardless of the report's conclusions, the loudest voices in the anti-Trump #resistance foresee "further damage," "civil war 2.0," and even Trump declaring martial law and turning "what's left of our democracy in(to) North Korea," for some reason.
I am incredibly stressed about the mueller report. If it's damning then Alex Jones will try to start Civil War 2.0 and if by some weird possibility it exonerates trump then trump will go full banana republican kleptocrat and turn what's left of our democracy in North Korea.
— Molly Jong-Fast (@MollyJongFast) February 21, 2019
In fact, Mueller report or no Mueller report, it is absolutely evident that no American in our history has betrayed the country as egregiously or damagingly as Trump and that it is vital that we recognize this fact or the risks of further damage will be compounded.
— David Rothkopf (@djrothkopf) February 20, 2019
Late night comedians threw in their two cents. "It's lies – all of it," Stephen Colbert said, talking about Trump's repeated bashing of the investigation. "Donald Trump isn't committing a crime," Colbert continued, "Donald Trump is a crime."
"Trump keeps doing the same s**t over and over again," said the Daily Show's Trevor Noah. "It's like that Netflix show Russian Doll, only with way more Russians."
Some Russiagaters have taken to bargaining to cushion the blow. What if Mueller wasn't allowed to investigate thoroughly enough? What if he's still waiting to charge the big players? What if he was actually a pro-Trump stooge all along?
Rep. Eric 'nuke the citizens' Swalwell was among the first to cast these kind of doubts. "What makes you so confident this report is on Mueller's terms and timetable," the California Democrat suggested.
Although some have suggested that Mueller is prematurely ending his investigation before Trump's new Attorney General William Barr can shut it down, Swalwell will have more humble pie than most to eat if the report exonerates Trump, given that he's sworn on national television that Trump "knows exactly what he's doing" in pushing the Kremlin's agenda.
Here, @RepSwalwell – as he's been doing for 2 years – spreads baseless insinuations, this time to suggest that Mueller is being involuntarily silenced, forced to end his investigation. If that were true, & Mueller has said nothing, wouldn't that reflect poorly on his integrity? https://t.co/XDEhsAtr8Q
— Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) February 21, 2019
Others reassured themselves by saying that Mueller is still sitting on a mound of sealed indictments, ready to hand them over to other courts when his investigation wraps up.
Possible that Mueller is preparing to hand dozens to a hundred sealed indictments to regular offices when he unseals; the Attorneys on his team are appellate specialists, I believe. E.G. Dana Boente at EDVA obtained the sealed indictment on @Trump (covering @realDonaldTrump)
— Louise Mensch (@LouiseMensch) February 21, 2019
Trump must be getting so stressed about Mueller's investigation and likely upcoming sealed indictments against Steve Bannon and Donald Trump Jr. that he's taking all his angst and frustration out on people who aren't even relevant to him anymore. It's psychological displacement.
— Eugene Gu, MD (@eugenegu) February 19, 2019
Don't hold your breath. Even late last month the virulently anti-Trump Alternet swore up and down that "Mueller's next indictment will tie together the Russians, WikiLeaks and the top of the Trump campaign." It never came.
Faced with the possibility that nearly two years of Russian hysteria could amount to basically nothing, some media outlets have struck a despondent tone.
A CNN report published Wednesday contemplated "Life after Mueller," while another concluded that the Mueller report "won't change the minds of most people following the story."
"For people who already hate Trump, they will see the Mueller report as confirmation that the President was compromised by the Russians," it read. "For Trump's backers, they will dismiss the whole thing – aping their idol – as a 'witch hunt' and a 'hoax.'"
A damp squib report will likely hit CNN hardest. After all, the network has breathlessly reported every minor development in the investigation for almost two years, and even got front row seats to the gunpoint arrest of Roger Stone. What hope is left once Mueller is gone?
I don't see Mueller taking down anyone named Trump or Kushner. Life in the U.S. has already gotten almost unbearable. It is about to get exponentially worse. Please let me be wrong. I am getting more depressed by the minute.
p.s. The fucking Coast Guard!? WTAF!
— Carolyn Hicks (@Plumcreek2) February 21, 2019
I honestly think that if the Mueller investigation really does end next week as CNN and WashPost are claiming, and nothing major changes (such as, say, Trump Jr. or Jared's arrest), they should send therapy dogs to the MSNBC & CNN headquarters to help with the coping process. https://t.co/rA8GiZ6Oz3
Finally, after all the tears and all the sleepless nights comes acceptance. Democrat Rep. Ted Lieu (California) said on Wednesday that "if the report comes out and exonerates Donald Trump, we just move on."
"The best possible result would be if Robert Mueller found Donald Trump completely innocent because I don't want our President to have engaged in collusion with a foreign power," says Democrat Rep. Ted Lieu. "If the report comes out and exonerates Donald Trump, we just move on." pic.twitter.com/P2D6jiEv8M
— Cuomo Prime Time (@CuomoPrimeTime) February 21, 2019
Some Democrats have other ideas. House Intelligence Committee chair Adam Schiff (Massachusetts) has already criticized Mueller for not being thorough enough, and has opened an investigation into "credible reports of money laundering and financial compromise" involving Trump's businesses.
The probe will go "beyond Russia" and investigate whether "the Saudis or anyone else" has leverage over Trump, Schiff told reporters.
If you plan to glide straight from the Mueller probe ending with no collusion-
To "time for Schiff and co. to investigate Trump-Russia ties, also his taxes, other stuff"
You're a hack who never cared about the "sanctity of democracy" no matter how much you claim otherwise
— Buck Sexton (@BuckSexton) February 18, 2019
Despite the fact that two congressional investigations have already cleared Trump of any wrongdoing, and despite the fact that Mueller's report will likely vindicate the president too, Schiff's investigation is one of several launched by Democrats since they retook a majority in the House of Representatives this year.
Mueller may be ready to step down, but expect more investigations, more accusations, and more good old fashioned Russiagate drama in the media for the foreseeable future.

Did you mean flights from Taipei?
The city of Taipei is divided into twelve distinct districts, each with its own style and charm. Altogether, Taipei is an amazing modern city with an innumerable amount of historical attractions, plenty of acclaimed night markets and shopping districts, as well as cultural amenities like coffeehouses, museum and a fantastic nightlife.
Like most tropical destinations, Taipei is suitable for travel all-year round. However, visitors should note that the best time to travel to Taipei is in late October to January when the weather is comfortably cooler and the rainy season has ended.
Getting around Taipei is a breeze as Taipei has an extensive public transportation network. A truly advanced metropolis, you can travel to the different parts of the city by its very efficient MRT system. The transport network also includes railway and high-speed rail. Taxis are also easy to get everywhere in the city, however some taxi drivers may not be able to understand English very well.
Sight seeing in this vibrant city can be quite varied. You will definitely be spoilt for choice with its long list of attractions. Here are just some of the must-visit spots in Taipei:Whether contemporary architecture is your cup of tea or not, a visit to this modern icon of Taiwan is worthwhile. This skyscraper with a very distinctive bamboo-inspired form was the tallest building in the world when it was completed in 2004. There are recorded voice tours available at the observatory at the top of the building.
Taipei's largest and most visited night market, the Shilin Night Market operates from 4pm to past midnight and is easily accessible by the MRT. Here you can find a wide array of the famous Taiwanese street food, from oyster omelette to xaio long bao to stinky tofu. Visitors can also find great bargains for clothing, trinkets and souvenirs.
This hall was built in memory of the father of the nation, Dr. Sun Yat-sen. It contains displays of Sun's accomplishments as a great Chinese revolutionary. Today, it functions as a venue for various social and cultural activities and exhibitions. It also displays historical relics of Sun's life and the Xinhua Revolution. The park surrounding the Memorial Hall is named Zhongshan Park, which is also another popular name for Dr. Sun. The park has beautiful gardens, decorative historical walls and outdoor performance areas.

California X-ray tech who died shortly after COVID-19 shot was killed by heart disease, coroner's report says
An X-ray technician in California whose January death was under investigation as his family suggested a possible link to his second dose of a COVID-19 vaccine died due to heart disease, a coroner's report concluded. Tim Zook, 60, died of hypertensive and atherosclerotic heart disease with severe cardiomegaly and heart failure, according to his autopsy report.
(Article by Alexandria Hein republished from FoxNews.com)
The report did not mention a COVID-19 vaccine and said he died at UC Irvine Medical Center.
At the time of his death, Zook's widow, Rochelle, told local news outlets that her husband "believed in vaccines" and was "sure he would take that vaccine again, and he'd want the public to take it," but that she noticed his health went into a sharp decline after he received his second dose of the Pfizer shot.
"We are not blaming any pharmaceutical company," she had told the Orange County Register, before suggesting that his downturn was some sort of a reaction.
At the time, the Orange County coroner confirmed to Fox News that it was investigating his death and said that "if it's determined there may be a correlation to the vaccine, we will immediately notify the OC Health Care Agency."
Pfizer and BioNTech had also confirmed to Fox News at the time that they were aware of Zook's death and were thoroughly reviewing the matter.
"Our immediate thoughts are with the bereaved family," a statement provided to Fox News said at the time. "We closely monitor all such events and collect relevant information to share with global regulatory authorities. Based on ongoing safety reviews performed by Pfizer, BioNTech and health authorities, BNT162b2 retains a positive benefit-risk profile for the prevention of COVID-19 infections. Serious adverse events, including deaths that are unrelated to the vaccine, are unfortunately likely to occur at a similar rate as they would in the general population."
In 2020, nearly every death in America was labeled a "covid" death, while in 2021, nearly every post-vaccine death is declared to be completely unrelated to the vaccine.

HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 2546 Driver – My printing preferences are not massive. Mainly promo codes and invoice bills. The installation was truly hassle-free. Simply stick to the easy guidance for the wireless connectivity. They provide the hard cord as well therefore in the event the internet service dropped it is possible to hook up the printing device to the laptop or computer for printing by USB cable. Due to the fact, my producing is infrequent the ink cartridges dry out over several months, therefore, I would rather purchase the standard low yield ink cartridge.
Feature-wise I decided not to use the color ink cartridge anymore I do not do color printing however seldom without the need of applying for the ink cartridge to go dry only for a sprinkle of color in some places. The inkjet printer functions okay on the black color cartridge. Even though it might display a notice on the display as it is not mounted however it will print in any case.
Because of room or space restrictions I maintain the front part exit holder door not open which at the same time maintains the dirt and dust away but when I forget about to open it before producing the software program delivers me a pop-up that the output tray is not open and then producing came to be paused. Awesome I say.
Set up the inkjet printer within just minutes, wi-fi installation was really easy utilizing the included cd disk, the printing device functions like a magic. I cannot figure out why a number of people experienced issues with setting up simply because I have never encountered a single difficulty. The software program is user-friendly and uncomplicated. I additionally like the point that the printing device is extremely light and portable allowing it to be shifted from one spot to another effortlessly. Since a minimal to medium range consumers, this inkjet printer with packed with splendiferous functions is a helpful printing device.
This printing device uses 2 ink cartridges rather than 4 individual colors, which seems like a good option, however, results in costing considerably more money taking over color after color.

Mana Moana is a curated artist led collaboration between Māori and Pacifica visual artists, musicians, writers and choreographers to produce short art films.
Mana Moana – Pacific Voices is a collection of emotive and artistic video works that have been created to amplify and support the Pacific to drive global action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Pacific peoples of Oceania are orators and poets with the deepest respect for allusion, nuance and metaphor. We harness poetry "to mean more than we say" as the great Futa Helu observed. We bring our culture of storytelling to COP26 and UNCC with urgency, eloquently speaking to the issues of our region.
This initiative is supported by Aotearoa New Zealand and coordinated by the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme with support from many Pacific islands people, organisations and communities. These videos have been developed to be screened during the UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) COP-26 and other relevant climate change events.
"In the face of our climate emergency this work is timely and relevant "
RACHAEL RAKENA - CURATOR
Mana Moana Digital Ocean
Mana Moana Digital Ocean brings together more than 20 leading Māori and Pacifica artists from across Aotearoa for an online collection of multimedia and video art – all housed over an immersive waterscape rendered in 3D. Art and technology weave together in eight new collaborative works ranging from video art, to VR /360 film and 3D digital sculpture. The result is an innovative exhibition speaking to our relationships with water and the need for collective action to ensure its survival. The project takes off where Mana Moana 2019 left off, however, with Covid-19 restrictions the project needed to pivot into the digital realm.
EXPERIENCE DIGITAL OCEAN
he waka eke noa we are all in this waka together we rise together, fall together, work together, keep going together
Mana Moana Water Screen
Mana Moana 2019 was a collaboration between Maori and Pacifica musicians, artists, writers and choreographers to produce a series of five, short art films fusing poetry, dance, song, painting, photography and animation. Instead of projecting on a traditional film screen Mana Moana explores its themes of ocean, migration and diaspora on a screen of projected water.
Project Values
We believe in creating a platform for upholding a healthy and respectful relationship with the Moana in all its forms (ocean, lakes, rain, rivers)
VĀ
To generate and maintain healthy space between us, each other and our environment and to bring people together.
INDIGENISE
To provide a Māori frame from which to enable and encompass indigenous Moana perspectives. It creates a positive platform for critical discussion and celebrates whakapapa relationships with the environment.
CLIMATE/ENVIRONMENT
Enabling the positive and critical discussion of positive relationships in our environment.
Mana Moana seeks to draw attention to, critique, and to request action on environmental issues with a future indigenous frame, through the use of technology and art.
MULTI-DISCIPLINE
across multiple art-forms, mediums and practices.
Mana Moana allows powerful interdisciplinary art-forms, mediums and creative practices to intertwine, converse and thrive.
Investigating technology as a de-colonial tool. Using technology as a way to explore artistic potential.
Mana Moana is made possible with generous support from:

Guys! I love this podcast and everything that I'm learning from it. Thank you!

Denis Leary to play a washed-up rock singer named "Johnny Rock" for FX
Filed to:TV
Since the end of Rescue Me (a show we are pretty sure is actually over, though it could still surprise us), Denis Leary has made several attempts to get back on TV under various other uniformed guises—like producing the paramedic comedy Sirens, starring in the (rejected) FX detective comedy Bronx Warrants, etc. But now, like so many others, he's abandoning the fly-by-night world of emergency services for a steadier gig in music, creating and starring in the new FX comedy pilot Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll.
Leary plays the lead character, Johnny Rock, a singer whose rock career doesn't pan out the way he hopes, despite literally being named "Johnny Rock." As he tries to reunite his old, cult favorite band—which fell apart 25 years earlier, just as it was about to take off—Johnny Rock finally confronts all the drug abuse and sleeping around with his bandmates' girlfriends that got him into this mess in the first place. According to the FX statement, you can also expect the occasional cameo from actual rock stars—rock stars who will seethe that a great name like "Johnny Rock" just went to waste like that. "You could have had it all, Johnny Rock!" these other, boringly named, alleged "rock stars" will say.


Sir Thomas Dale established the original Henrico Parish Church at Henricus, 4½ miles southeast of here, in 1611. The first minister, the Reverend Alexander Whitaker, has been credited with converting Pocahontas to Christianity. Other noteworthy ministers included James Blair and William Stith. The parish church was later relocated to Varina, then to Curles, and finally to Saint John's Church in Richmond in 1741. Here, in 1926, the Varina Episcopal Church was constructed and the newly formed Varina Parish was established in this community.

That video is like a case study on the trappings of fame. She is probably really rich now but basically a prisoner who can't walk in public without fans swarming. It would be fun to get recognized once a week but not literally every time you walk outside. I read somewhere that her family can't live in their house anymore because fans found out where she lived. People might be better off poor than to live like that. No wonder justin bieber seems sad most of the time.
Que si que si, que es la misma la mas humilde la mas de todo. Que si que si. No me gusta. Y Punto.
she is a fairly new singer with a hit album and maybe the most famous teenager since Justin Bieber.
The music in the back makes it 10x sadder.
I have no idea who she is... (no hate here) but she seems nice.
I really hope she's found a way to free herself..

The Double CCI Woodies forex indicator for MetaTrader4 is built on two CCI. Understanding that the CCI as a momentum indicator is key in understanding the DoubleCCI_Woodies indicator.
The CCI indicator in its original design is tailored to aid traders spot when a market is overbought or oversold, and it expected to see a directional reversal and retracement.
The Double CCI Woodies indicator is particularly common with futures trader, but does also work well on the forex market.
The parameter settings on the DoubleCCI_Woodies indicator allows for the tweaking of colors, CCIs period and you can also add alerts. The chart has a grey and blue CCI.
We also have histograms in shahs of green, red, gold and black. The green color denotes a bullish trend, while the red color denotes a bearish trend. The default setting for the DoubleCCI_Woodies indicator are 14, 6 periods.
If the blue CCI breaks above the zero-line it indicates a bullish signal, while if the blue CCI line breaks below the zero-line it is an indication that price is bearish. In order to be able to filter the signals, then you must wait for the blue CCI to cross above the zero-line when the histogram is green (bullish alert), and you should also wait for the blue CCI line to cross below the zero-line when the histogram is red (bearish signal).
Another important point worthy of note is the extreme levels of 200 and -200 on the DoubleCCI_Woodies indicator – these regions are usually not good to open positions as they tend to signal the end of the trends.
Customization options: Variable (TrendCCI_Period, EntryCCI_Period, Zero_Cross_Alert, Automatic_Timeframe_Setting, M1_TrendCCI_Period, M1_EntryCCI_Period, M5_TrendCCI_Period, M5_EntryCCI_Period, M15_TrendCCI_Period, M15_EntryCCI_Period, M30_TrendCCI_Period, M30_EntryCCI_Period, H1_TrendCCI_Period, H1_EntryCCI_Period, H4_TrendCCI_Period, H4_EntryCCI_Period, D1_TrendCCI_Period, D1_EntryCCI_Period, W1_TrendCCI_Period, W1_EntryCCI_Period, MN_TrendCCI_Period, MN_EntryCCI_Period), Colors, width & Style.

"We consider Iraq an independent sovereign state and respect the vote of the Iraqi people. Whoever takes the helm of the government in the country our relations will continue to grow," Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qasemi told a press briefing in Tehran on Monday, Tasnim News Agency reported.
In the first election since the self-styled Islamic State terrorist group was degraded in the country, the Sairoon electoral list backed by Sadr, who has challenged both the United States and Iran, captured 54 parliamentary seats. The Al-Fatih bloc led by Hadi al-Amiri, who has maintained close ties with Iran for decades, was in second place, while Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, once seen as the front-runner, trailed in third.

Teachers march in Annapolis for higher salaries
Hannah Feuer
By David Villani
Around 5,000 Maryland educators, parents, students and community leaders will attend the March for our Schools in Annapolis Mar. 11 in support of legislation that would raise teacher salaries by 10 percent over a three-year period. The Maryland State Educators' Association, the union representing teachers in the state, is organizing the march.
Marchers are supporting a bill introduced last Thursday in the Maryland Senate and House of Delegates which seeks to fill a $2.9 billion budget shortfall. As part of the fix, teacher salaries would be raised by three percent each year for two years and by four percent the third year.
Biology teacher Colleen Roots plans to attend the march in support of pay increases and more school funding.
"Nationwide, education is underfunded and our current governor doesn't seem to have our interests in mind," she said.
Apart from the pay raises, teachers are advocating for hiring more school staff, including counselors and psychologists, universal pre-k and equitable funding for schools.
Teachers will meet at 6:00 p.m. at the Navy Stadium in Annapolis and march to Lawyer's Mall in front of the Maryland State House. The Montgomery County Educators' Association, the county teachers' union, will provide bus transportation to Annapolis.
The march follows the lead of other major teacher demonstrations in states like West Virginia, Oklahoma and Arizona. But unlike other demonstrations, Maryland educators say they will only be marching—not striking or walking out.
Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich will be attending the march alongside other public figures. A former elementary school teacher, Elrich was elected in 2018 with a strong endorsement from the MCEA. He stirred up controversy in January when he proposed a budget that would cut $25 million in funding from Montgomery County Public Schools.
Multiple schools in the county are sending large numbers of staff and students to Annapolis. Ninety-five people from Montgomery Blair High School will attend the march.
In contrast, Whitman teachers will mostly sit this march out.
"It's really hard to do anything on a weekday," French teacher Michelle Beach said. "If they had done something on the weekend, that might have been easier."
Mobilizing teachers is more difficult at Whitman than other schools, Whitman's head representative for the MCEA Danielle Fus said.
"We're very lucky that the Whitman Foundation gives us a lot of what we need and makes up a difference from the funding that we have from the county," Fus said. "Sometimes it's harder to get some teachers and parents to turn out."
In addition to pay increases, Roots will attend the march to support the union. She sees great benefits to being a part of a union as powerful as the MCEA, she said.
"You have more power as a collective body than you do as an individual," Roots said. "As with any union, it's only as good as its members. If we don't show up it doesn't matter how strong it is. We are the union."
March 12 update: Approximately 8,500 people attended the march.

'Fixer Upper' star Chip Gaines faces business litigation
On behalf of Dinn, Hochman & Potter, LLC | May 7, 2017 | Business Litigation
The couple made a splash on HGTV with their down-to-earth style and stunning home remodels. Fans in Ohio and beyond saw Chip and Joanna Gaines quickly rise to stardom following the success of their TV show, "Fixer Upper," in which Gaines's company, Magnolia Realty, convinces couples to purchase inexpensive homes that he and Joanna then renovate and redecorate. The TV show spawned a line of products for the home as well as books and other merchandise. However, it also spawned business litigation as former partners of Chip Gaines claim they were defrauded.
The two men co-owned Magnolia Reality with Gaines in the years prior to the his TV breakthrough. Apparently, Gaines purchased their shares of the real estate company for $2,500 each. However, the two partners claim that Gaines had already negotiated a deal with HGTV for a one-hour premier of "Fixer Upper." They claim Chip and Joanna were secretly aware that the network planned to fast-track the new series and build a home improvement empire around the couple.
Magnolia Reality is featured prominently in the TV show, and the former partners claim Gaines fraudulently dissolved their partnership to maximize his profits. They are suing him for over $1 million in damages plus non-monetary relief. A spokesperson for Chip and Joanna has said that the former partners are simply trying to capitalize on their success.
When disputes arise between business partners, the reputation of a company may suffer. Business litigation is complex and risky, even when those involved are right here in Ohio and not necessarily protecting a national image. Business owners facing disputes or accusations would benefit from the counsel and assistance of an attorney who can help to minimize the damage such claims may threaten to a business.

The NCAA's lobbyists have continued to press the case for those guardrails, and now they have more help. A document circulated by the Power Five lobbyists, obtained by AP, lists the conferences' "core principles" for athlete compensation, and most of those principles include limitations.
They include: a requirement for "one term of academic progress" before athletes can sign endorsement deals; a ban on athlete deals with "advertising categories inconsistent with higher education"; and limits on who can advise athletes on third-party contracts to prevent "unscrupulous actors."
Each of the Power Five hired the same two lobbying firms this year, and each of those firms collected $10,000 from each conference. The firms — Marshall & Popp, led by ex-Republican congressional staffers; and Subject Matter, led by Democrats — both stated as their objective a "national solution to preserve the unique model of American college athletics" while allowing players to earn money from their names, images and likenesses (NIL).
"In this particular case, the (Power Five) conferences are working together on this so that there's less confusion, not more, in terms of the messaging to congressional leaders that helps explain NIL and what the concerns are, and how it might work," Atlantic Coast Conference commissioner John Swofford told The Associated Press.
Like the SEC, the Pac-12 and the Big Ten also hired their first Washington lobbyists. The Pac-12 spent $70,000, giving $50,000 to its own firm and $10,000 each to Marshall & Popp and Subject Matter. The Big Ten paid $20,000 to the firms working for all the Power Five but did not hire its own dedicated lobbyist.
The ACC and the Big 12 each spent $60,000 — $40,000 on their own lobbyists and $20,000 on the Power Five firms. Both conferences had the same lobbyists last year, the first year either had spent significant money to influence members of Congress.
Last year, the NCAA spent $450,000 on lobbying, the most it has spent in any year since 2014, and it continued at that accelerated pace by spending $130,000 in the first quarter of this year, records show.
Rep. Mark Walker, a North Carolina Republican and an outspoken NCAA critic who has introduced legislation on the topic, said the NCAA and its allies were "tone deaf" for spending money on lobbying to limit the earning power of athletes during a pandemic that has wrecked the U.S. economy.
"You've got millions of Americans struggling. Close to 500,000 student-athletes have had practices and competitions canceled, and they want Congress to drop everything and give them some kind of legal backdrop, cover, after decades of abuse," Walker said.
The coronavirus pandemic, however, has not stopped the debate over athletes' pay, either in Washington or in statehouses. Swofford said he expected the Power Five to continue to have a lobbying presence.
"With the potential financial implications that come with the pandemic, I think any and all expenditures will be considered," Swofford said. "But this is also a very important issue in terms of the future of college athletics and what it looks like."


Well, yes - a good quality watch from a long-established watchmaker is going to be expensive. It is also likely to last you a lifetime with minimal further outlay (they do require a cleaning and perhaps a new battery every ten years or so - after all they are not magical, just very well made by people who had many decades to get good at what they do), so in my book this is money well-spent.
It's a little bit like the Sam Vimes' boots if you think about it.

Q: C++20 stopping a detached std::jthread using an std::stop_token In C++20 std::jthread was introduced as a safer version of std::thread; where std::jthread, as far as I understand, cleans up after itself when the thread exits.
Also, the concept of cooperative cancellation is introduced such that an std::jthread manages an std::stop_source that handles the state of the underlying thread, this std::stop_source exposes an std::stop_token that outsiders can use to read the state of the thread sanely.
What I have is something like this.
class foo {
  std::stop_token stok;
  std::stop_source ssource;

public:
  void start_foo() {
    // ...
    auto calculation = [this](std::stop_token inner_tok) {
      // ... (*this is used here)
      while(!inner_tok.stop_requested()) {
        // stuff
      }
    }
    auto thread = std::jthread(calculation);
    ctok = thread.get_stop_token();
    ssource = thread.get_stop_source();

    thread.detach(); // ??
  }

  void stop_foo() {
    if (ssource.stop_possible()) {
      ssource.request_stop();
    }
  }

  ~foo() {
   stop_foo();
  }
}

Note foo is managed by a std::shared_ptr, and there is no public constructor.
Somewhere along the line, another thread can call foo::stop_foo() on a possibly detached thread.
Is what I am doing safe?
Also, when detaching a thread, the C++ handle is no longer associated with the running thread, and the OS manages it, but does the thread keep receiving stop notifications from the std::stop_source?
Is there a better way to achieve what I need? In MVSC, this doesn't seem to raise any exceptions or halt program execution, and I've done a lot of testing to verify this.
So, is this solution portable?

A: What you wrote is potentially unsafe if the thread accesses this after the foo has been destroyed.  It's also a bit convoluted.  A simpler approach would just be to stick the jthread in the structure...
class foo {
  std::jthread thr;

public:
  void start_foo() {
    // ...
    jthr = std::jthread([this](std::stop_token inner_tok) {
      // ... (*this is used here)
      while(!inner_tok.stop_requested()) {
        // stuff
      }
    });
  }

  void stop_foo() {
    jthr.request_stop();
  }

  ~foo() {
     stop_foo();
     // jthr.detatch(); // this is a bad idea
  }
}

To match the semantics of your code, you would uncomment the jthr.detach() in the destructor, but this is actually a bad idea since then you could end up destroying foo while the thread is still accessing it.  The code I wrote above is safe, but obviously whichever thread drops the last reference to the foo will have to wait for the jthread to exit.  If that's really intolerable, then maybe you want to change the API to stick a shared_ptr in the thread itself, so that the thread can destroy foo if it is still running after the last external reference is dropped.

Five early-stage companies are finalists to have a chance to win a share of up to $250,000 in Alabama Launchpad Startup Competition
Words by Small Business Office
Five early-stage companies were selected by a five-judge panel Friday to advance to the Alabama Launchpad Startup Competition finale in December.
Ten teams pitched before the judges Friday at Evonik Industries in Birmingham. The five companies earned a chance to win a share of up to $250,000 in funding and will advance to the Competition Finale that will be held on Dec.10 at the Design Lab-Huntsville at Historic Lincoln Mills, 1300 Meridian Street North, 2nd Floor. The event begins at 4 p.m.
Alabama Launchpad, a program of the Economic Development Partnership of Alabama, is continuing its efforts to help high growth companies start, stay and grow in Alabama.
Moving the finale to another part of the state is part of the non-profit's efforts to increase participation of startups from across Alabama.
In Alabama Launchpad's earlier years when there was one cycle of competition, the finale was rotated alphabetically to each city that had a participating university in partnership with Alabama Launchpad, which was started in 2006.
"Huntsville has a vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem, and Alabama Launchpad wants to help feed that growth by hosting our upcoming finale event at the Design Lab at Lincoln Mills," said Greg Sheek, Alabama Launchpad programs director. "We hope our event not only spurs new entrepreneurs in Huntsville but draws more applicants to Launchpad for future rounds."
The startups to proceed are:
• LiTeWater, based in Tuscaloosa, filters and eliminates harmful bacteria and viruses from tap water through a breakthrough ultraviolet water treatment technology.
• MechOptix, Inc., based in Huntsville, has developed Stoptix, an automatic brake lamp that protects your vehicle from rear-end collisions.
• PartCycle Technologies, LLC, based in Florence, is an e-commerce marketplace for the auto parts industry that connects people who need auto parts with those who have them for sale, using a trustworthy, simple platform.
• ACE Creative Engagement, LLC, based in Huntsville, is a consumer grade tool to address the pains of live video broadcasting.
• Vital Metrix, Inc., based in Huntsville, provides data to a patient's cardiologist while the patient is home and allows for the better treatment of congestive heart failure and quality of life.
"We're looking forward to the finale and helping the startups develop their ideas into successful, high-growth ventures and future jobs, which benefit the broader landscape of Alabama's economy," Sheek said.
About the Economic Development Partnership of Alabama: Now in its 25th year, the non- profit Partnership represents the private sector's contribution to economic development in Alabama. Fully funded by more than 70 leading companies invested in the state's long-term economic success, EDPA provides leadership and services that recruit new businesses to the state, retain existing businesses and renew Alabama's economy by encouraging innovation both within existing industries and through the commercialization of new technologies. www.edpa.org

Alabama Listed Among the Most Tax-Friendly States


New Delhi: Farmers are still unaware of the details of the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bhima Yojana (PMFBY) even as the government and insurers are trying to increase the penetration in the non-loanee segment, said a climate risk management firm WRMS.
However in many states, high satisfaction has been seen among the enrolled farmers and reasons for the same were proper implementation in terms of assistance to farmers and involvement of insurance company and a high percentage of insured farmers receiving a payout, it said.
As per the survey findings, farmers complain that the process for enrolment as non-loanee farmers is difficult. They have to obtain sowing certificates, land records from the local revenue department which is time-consuming.
There is a high willingness to take insurance among the farmers who could not get themselves insured due to one of the above-cited reasons, it added.
"One of the main reasons of improper implementation of PMFBY in several regions is lack of trained resources. ... There is a lack of awareness at every stage of implementation," WRMS Managing Director Sonu Agrawal said in a statement.
There is a need for a transparent platform wherein application, survey request and payout status can be timely checked and grievances of farmers and insurance companies can be redressed via a grievance redressal mechanism which can be set by the government in advance, it added.


Criminals know we're all busy with year-end deadlines and the holidays—making it the perfect time to strike. Recent events such as the Facebook security breach remind us that any client's information may be compromised at any time. Take a conservative stance and consider all your clients at risk. Below are some recent fraud trends and ways you can help protect your clients and firm. Visit our Fraud Encyclopedia for additional information on each of these schemes.
How does it typically happen?
Hackers gain email access looking for information to sell or to use themselves.
They monitor the account and insert a seemingly legitimate email into a conversation to entice the recipient to release assets or information.
The email is often paired with a forged distribution Letter of Authority (LOA) and counterfeit documents (e.g., voided check for Schwab MoneyLink®).
Fraudsters use malware laced phishing emails to gain access to a client or an escrow company's email and send false wire instructions to a client or an advisor.
A scammer will contact a business posing as a technician from a well-known software provider attempting to infiltrate their systems to gain access to sensitive personal and financial data.
Fraudsters add irrelevant information, for instance, attaching an invoice, asking questions, or including details like indicating they'll replace the funds in 30, 60, or 90 days.
Fraudsters send requests using an account registered in a client's name. The account may actually be in the client's name, but is controlled by the fraudster or a money mule. These requests are meant to increase the appearance of legitimacy of the transaction, providing a false sense of security when transactions are being reviewed.
Criminals gain access to a client's account using stolen credentials, malware, or breached information.
Educate your clients: Help your clients understand the various safeguards Schwab has in place to protect their data with this new end-client brochure. If an existing or potential client asks you to dive deeper on this topic, you can use this conversation guide to learn more.
Verbally verify all disbursements, without exception: Confirming your client's identity and transaction details via phone or video chat continues to be one of your strongest fraud prevention weapons.

LGBT Partnership Systems Spread Across Japan
05/09/2019 | Tokyo Review
In the first five months of 2019 alone, the number of Japanese municipalities with a "partnership system" recognizing same-sex relationships has doubled. While Japan's national government has been very passive when it comes to tackling issues faced by its LGBT population, more and more municipal governments are making an effort to help improve the daily lives of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender citizens. The lack of legal recognition for marriage or any other form of officially recognized partnership for same-sex couples in Japan has meant that many people have been denied access to relationship-based privileges and rights – an exclusion that does not only apply to those who are attracted to people of the same sex. Changing your legal gender is a burdensome challenge in Japan, demanding costly and very personal sacrifices that place it out of reach for many transgender people. As a result, many are left without legal recognition of their status. Consequently straight, pre-legal transition trans people and their partners are also impacted by the lack of recognition of same-sex relationships.
