Trivium announce 2016 dates
Posted by Staff on Dec 3, 2015 in News | 0 comments
Roadrunner recording group Trivium has announced details of a winter headline trek which will see the band performing their first shows of 2016 in support of their acclaimed new LP "SILENCE IN THE SNOW." The new dates are set to get underway January 8 at Charleston, South Carolina's Music Farm with additional dates to be announced shortly (see attached itinerary). Tickets for all dates will go on sale Friday, December 4th. For complete tour information, please visit www.trivium.org/tourdates.
Long known as one of modern metal's most potent live acts, Trivium are also set to take the stage at a myriad of international hard rock and metal festivals this summer.

Produced by Michael "Elvis" Baskette (Slash, Alter Bridge, The Amity Affliction) and mixed by Josh Wilbur (Gojira, Lamb of God), Trivium's seventh studio album, "SILENCE IN THE SNOW" stands as a long gestating creative milestone for the acclaimed band. The collection had its genesis moment back in 2007 and was directly influenced by the time Trivium spent touring alongside the legendary Heaven & Hell that year. Ultimately, it would take eight years before they felt equipped to tackle the challenging work of weaving their classic influences into a modern record. Fueled by the inspiration of true classic metal – spanning Black Sabbath and Rainbow, Iron Maiden and Judas Priest, Pantera and Slayer, Megadeth and Metallica – Trivium challenged themselves to attain similar levels of greatness, taking on vocal coaches and guitar lessons to further their creative evolution. The result is extraordinary, bridging the history of hard rock and metal while simultaneously powering it forward into the future on tracks like the epic "Blind Leading The Blind" and "Until The World Goes Cold."
Hailed by Alternative Press as the "the purest metal of the year," "SILENCE IN THE SNOW" made a stunning impact, arriving at #3 on Billboard's "Hard Rock Albums" chart and #19 on the overall Billboard 200 marking Trivium's third consecutive Top 20 debut.
Founded in 2000, Trivium catapulted into the first ranks of modern metal with 2004's Roadrunner debut, "ASCENDANCY," which was named "Album of the Year" by none other than Kerrang! 2006's "THE CRUSADE" incorporated new melodic colors into the band's sound, resulting in widespread critical applause and a top 25 Billboard 200 debut. "SHOGUN" followed two years later and received event greater acclaim and chart success, including a #1 debut on the UK's Rock Albums Chart. "IN WAVES" hit #1 on Billboard's "Hard Rock Albums" upon its 2011 release, not to mention a stunning top 15 debut on the overall Billboard 200.

Fascinated by the kind of synesthesia that occurs at the opera wherein "you end up listening more with your eyes and seeing more with your ears," Australia Chamber Orchestra Artistic Director Richard Tognetti was inspired to see if the same phenomenon could be true of film.
Commissioning documentarian Jennifer Peedom to help put this to the test, the two worked alongside Mountains of the Mind author Robert Macfarlane, principle cinematographer Renan Ozturk, and Oscar nominated actor Willem Dafoe to create Mountain.
Best described by Peedom as "a marriage of music, words and picture," in which all but nine of the film's seventy-four minute running time is devoid of music, this ambitious follow-up to her 2015 award-winner Sherpa is an extraordinary sensuous feast.
Longing to explore the various ways in which our ever-changing relationship to mountains have changed in a relatively short period of time, Peedom tapped Macfarlane to pen the film's intentionally sparse narration.
A writerly marvel, with its rhythmic blend of research and poetry made all the more intoxicating by Dafoe's pitch-perfect delivery, in spite of its short length, Macfarlane's script would make quite a compelling book in its own right.
Cutting the film's excellently curated and state-of-the-art original cinematography together with its Australia Chamber Orchestra soundtrack of Chopin, Grieg, Vivaldi, Beethoven, and new compositions by Tognetti, we're hypnotized by the way Mountain's constantly moving camera glides over snow like a bow over strings.
Watching traffic queue up a mountainside curly-cue style before showering the screen with an almost otherworldly view of the night skies, Peedom and her team use music, cinematography, and editing to give us a vicarious emotional experience of the Everest highs to the volcanic lows of mountain life that's simply amazing to behold.
Filmed in twenty-two countries, this experimental work pushes the boundaries of what we use to define a documentary. Released in three distinct versions including theatrical, IMAX, and a special live edit to go along with orchestral accompaniment, Peedom's film dazzles regardless of format.
That said, of course, similar to the way that climbers need the best gear, audiences do as well. Much like its subject, size (and in this case sound) matters, and this Mountain is best experienced on the biggest screen you can find.

Cinco De Mayo:…
Cinco De Mayo: Celebration Day
Cinco De Mayo, held on May 5, is an annual celebration in the Mexican-American culture. Let's delve into the history of Cinco De Mayo and how it's celebrated worldwide.
What Is Cinco De Mayo?
Cinco De Mayo (Spanish for "Fifth of May") is held on May 5 every year to commemorate the Mexican Army's victory over the French Empire. On May 5, 1862, the Mexican and French Armies fought against each other at the Battle of Puebla, with the Mexican Army emerging victorious.
Soon after these events, a larger French Army fought and won against the Mexican Army at the second battle of Puebla. But the bravery displayed by the small Mexican Army at the first battle boosted the morale of Mexicans. Thus, the day is observed as Celebration Day in the Mexican-American culture.
After the Mexican-American War in 1846-48, the Second French Intervention took place in Mexico in 1858-61. Those events emptied the Mexican Treasury, and the country suspended its foreign debt payments for two years. While Britain and Spain agreed to negotiate and peacefully withdraw, France saw it as an opportunity to establish an empire in Mexico.
The heavily-armed French Army of 8,000 men attacked a poorly armed Mexican army of 4,000. The Mexicans decisively defeated the French in the war, which helped establish a sense of patriotism and national unity. The Mexican Army won on May 5, 1862, and Cinco De Mayo came into recognition.
While the victory of the Mexicans was short-lived, it's still remembered as a major event in Mexican and Mexican-American history.
Celebrations in Different Countries
Cinco De Mayo is mainly celebrated in the US and Mexico, along with some parts of the Caribbean, Jamaica, and Australia. Let's look at how different countries celebrate Cinco De Mayo.
President Juárez, the president of Mexico in 1862, declared on May 9, 1862, that May 5 would be recognized as the anniversary of the Battle of Puebla and a national holiday. The day is no longer a national holiday in the country. However, all public schools remain closed in Mexico on May 5. Additionally, the day is a national holiday in the states of Puebla and Veracruz.
In Puebla, parades, meals, and historical reenactments take place to commemorate the battle. In Mexico City, a military commemoration takes place at Cinco De Mayo.
The modern American focus on Cinco De Mayo started in California in 1863 to resist the French rule in Mexico. Since then, various events have contributed to the popularity of the day in the USA. Many people display Cinco De Mayo banners, and various institutions host special events to commemorate the battle.
Apart from the USA and Mexico, Cinco De Mayo celebrations take place in the Caribbean, Cayman Islands, Jamaica, Paris, and some parts of Jamaica, Nigeria, and South Africa.
The Battle of Puebla was a moment of pride and patriotism, and Cinco De Mayo is celebrated to commemorate that battle. While the popularity of the celebration has reduced over the years, many people in Mexico, the US, and other countries continue to celebrate the day.

'Poop Transplants' May Help Ease Painful Colitis
TUESDAY, Jan. 22, 2019 (HealthDay News) -- Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease triggering pain and bloody stools, and it can raise the odds for colon cancer.
But now, research suggests that fecal transplants -- basically, delivering a healthy person's stool into the colitis patient's digestive tract -- may be an effective treatment.
The Australian team behind the small study said the strategy may work by introducing millions of healthy bacteria into the dysfunctional tract.
"Bacteria comprise more than half of the fecal mass, [but] not all poop is created alike," explained Dr. Arun Swaminath, a U.S. gastroenterologist unconnected to the new research.
In fecal transplant, patients receive stool laden with bacteria from a healthy donor's microbiome -- those internal communities of "good" bacteria, Swaminath said. And that might help restore balance to the digestive tract of people with colitis.
In recent years, "new technology has now allowed us to get a deeper understanding of the microbiome," Swaminath said. That's led to whole replacement of the colonic microbiome with donor fecal transplant.
The new Australian research involved 73 adults with mild to moderate active ulcerative colitis. The patients received a few treatments of low intensity fecal microbiota transplantation delivered via colonoscopy.
Patients were divided into two groups: Some received pooled donor fecal matter processed anaerobically (in an oxygen-free environment), while others received their own fecal matter (essentially, a placebo, used for comparison purposes).
The result: The rate of ulcerative colitis remission was 32 percent for the patients who received the pooled donor stool, compared with just 9 percent in the placebo group.
The rate of remission in the patients who received the donor fecal matter was similar to that achieved with the best current treatments, noted a team led by Dr. Sam Costello, a gastroenterologist at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital, in Adelaide.
Costello noted that many current colitis treatments suppress the immune system, and that can lead to potential side effects, such infection or even cancer.
"The most important difference in this trial compared to previous studies is the use of anaerobic (oxygen-free) stool processing," said Costello, who is also a lecturer at the University of Adelaide's Medical School.
"Many gut bacteria die with exposure to oxygen and we know that with anaerobic stool processing a large number of donor bacteria survive so that they can be administered to the patient," Costello explained in a university news release. "We believe that this may be the reason that we had a good therapeutic effect with only a small number of treatments."
Dr. David Bernstein is a gastroenterologist and director of the department of hepatology at Northwell Health in Manhasset, N.Y. He said the new study is "promising and the results are impressive." But he stressed that larger studies are needed "to validate these findings."
In the meantime, Costello's team has reached an agreement with a company to develop the method used in the study and conduct further studies.
"Our long-term aim is to develop rationally designed microbial therapies that can replace fecal microbiota transplantation," Costello said. "These will have bacteria in a pill that can carry out the therapeutic effect without the need to take whole feces," he explained.
"This is obviously a better and less smelly option," Costello said.
The findings were published Jan. 15 in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
The U.S. National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases has more on ulcerative colitis.

Borough bus tour is Blessed boost
by Jim Dunton Wed 17 July 2013, 3:49 pm
A new open-top bus tour taking in Medway's top sites and explaining the borough's rich heritage has been launched for a summer run.
Narrated by actor Brian Blessed, the tour takes in Rochester Castle and Cathedral, Fort Amherst, Brompton Royal Engineers Museum, the Chatham Maritime area, Dickens World, the Historic Dockyard Chatham, and Eastgate House.
Seven buses a day offer the hop-on, hop-off service, and are staffed with guides wearing Dickensian costume in celebration of the author's links with the borough.
Blessed said Medway was packed with history and that the tour revived happy memories of visiting the area as a youth.
"Rochester Castle is just beatific," he said.
"It's amazing. It's the best Norman castle I've ever seen, and with the Cathedral alongside – every nook and cranny is history".
The introduction of the bus tour follows Medway's best-ever year for toursim last year, which the council said saw around 470,000 visitors to the area.
It is set to run until September 1.

Sankt Veit in der Südsteiermark est une commune depuis 2015 dans le district de Leibnitz en Styrie, en Autriche.

La commune a été créé dans le cadre de la réforme structurelle municipale Styrie, à la fin de 2014, en fusionnant les anciennes communes de Sankt Veit am Vogau et de Sankt Nikolai ob Draßling district de Leibnitz et la commune de Weinburg am Saßbach dans le district de Südoststeiermark.

Les frontières du district de Südoststeiermark et du district de Leibnitz ont été déplacées, de sorte que la nouvelle municipalité se situe complètement dans le district de Leibnitz.

If you are a freelancer or business, you have a website on which you showcase your wares. Whether it is a service you offer, an online resume of your talents, or an actual product, video is a great way to engage your clients. Video allows you to get more personal, it allows you to speak to us one-on-one, and is holds the viewer's attention longer than a page full of text. And because of the few barriers to entry, producing your own video today is easier and cheaper than ever. So, you already have a camera and maybe you've started making videos…but are they good videos?
Here are five of the biggest video mistakes that people make…and how to correct them.
Truly the most important part of any video is the story. Do you have a focus? What is it? Don't feel like you have to tell us everything in one video. Each video you produce should have one clear-cut message. If you can't decide, then break it down and make several different videos, each with its own focus.
Perhaps more important than good-looking video, is good-sounding video. Without sound, a video is a lifeless bit of moving pictures. Audio brings us in, it makes us feel as if we are there. And nothing says, amateurish video, like bad sound. If you are doing interviews, or just speaking into the camera yourself, please use an external clip microphone and not the internal mic on the camera. When you just use the camera's mic, you are left with all the ambient sound of the room, whereas with a clip-on mic, you get cleaner sound directly from your subject.
Want your video to remind us of dad's home movies? Then don't use a tripod. Intentional movement is one thing, but overly shaky video screams unprofessional and distracts the viewer from what you are trying to convey. Invest in a video tripod (one that can hold the weight of your video camera). If you don't have one yet, put your video camera on something sturdy and horizontal like a bookshelf, or the ground (obviously not good for interviews), or, if you must, hold it as still as you can.
So even if you have a tripod, you might still be 'camera move' happy. Use pans, tilts, and zooms sparingly. Our eyes don't see real life this way, so you should mostly avoid it. You should use action within your shots (moving subjects) to create movement, not the camera itself.
To make life easier for yourself, only press that red record button when your shot is locked down, focused, and composed. Often times, amateur videographers start rolling and then check their focus and start re-jiggering their shot. Even though, 99% are now shooting digitally, and therefore not 'wasting film' like the olden days, it is still a waste of your time and memory space. Even more importantly, when it comes time to edit, all of your shots are solid and will be useable. You won't spend hours sifting through shaky, out-of-focus clips and can get right down to the business of being creative.
There are tons of tips and tricks that go into producing good videos. But when you start with a good foundation and avoid these top mistakes, you will be on your way to creating solid videos that match the rest of the quality content you put out there. Need more help? Feel free to contact me.

Email Marketing Basics for Your Craft Business
By Lisa McGrimmon | Published Jan. 21, 2014 | Modified Sept. 10, 2019
Email marketing basics teach you how to develop a newsletter to promote your handmade business whether you do business online or in person, at craft shows. This series on email marketing will show you how to set up and grow your own e-newsletter.
Before we jump into the email marketing basics series, I'd like to prepare you with some definitions of jargon you'll find in email marketing circles.
These terms will come up throughout this series, and you'll see them if you research email marketing on other sites.
If you ever forget what a term means and need clarification, you can jump back to this page for the definition.
Basic Email Marketing Terms
Here are important terms you'll come across as you explore and research email marketing basics for your craft business:
Communicating with a group of people who have expressed interest in hearing from you via email. People choose to subscribe to your newsletter, and you provide information relevant to your business and your subscribers' interests.
The percentage of subscribers who open your newsletter. Don't expect everyone to open your emails. Depending on the industry, standard open rates range from about 20% to 30%.
That doesn't necessarily mean only 20% to 30% of people are reading your emails because the technology used to measure open rate isn't perfect. This statistic doesn't necessarily capture everyone who opens your newsletter.
In spite of imperfections, open rate is a useful statistic to track. By watching how your open rate changes from one mail-out to the next, you can see what headlines resonated with your audience. You can also experiment with mail-out times and dates to see what is most effective for your audience by tracking your open rate.
Double Opt In
A double opt in email system requires subscribers to confirm twice that they want to receive your email.
Step One: Subscribers submit their email via an online newsletter sign up form.
Step Two: The email marketing software you use automatically sends an email to the address they provided. The new subscriber must click on a link in that email to confirm they wanted emails sent to that address. If they ignore the email, they won't be signed up for the newsletter.
A double opt in system protects people from being signed up to mailing lists they didn't want to sign up for. It also protects you from accidentally sending emails to someone who didn't want them.
A double opt in system helps to ensure you have a list of people who truly want to receive your emails, and it helps to reduce the potential for spam complaints against your newsletter.
Unsubscribing is when someone who was once an email subscriber chooses to stop receiving your newsletter.
No matter how fabulous your newsletter is, people will unsubscribe. Getting a few unsubscribes after each mail-out is to be expected and not negative.
As your newsletter list grows, it can become more expensive to manage. Carrying a mailing list full of people who never open your emails if not going to help grow your business, and it can get pricey.
If someone is no longer interested in reading your messages, it's much better if they unsubscribe instead of continuing to receive emails they never open.
Unsubscribe Rate
Your unsubscribe rate is the number of people who unsubscribe each time you send out a newsletter. A few unsubscribes are to be expected.
It's helpful to watch how your unsubscribe rate changes when you make changes to your newsletter.
If you make a substantial change to the structure, or content, or delivery time, watch your unsubscribe rate. If that rate is much higher than usual, you'll know you did something your subscribers didn't love.
Delivery Rate
This statistic measures the number of emails that actually end up in subscribers' inboxes.
Click Through Rate (CTR)
Your newsletter's click through rate is the percentage of people who clicked one of the links in your email. If you're sending out newsletters to encourage people to visit your blog or your online shop, your CTR will tell you how well you're meeting that goal.
Strictly speaking, spam is marketing email sent to people who did not choose to receive email from that sender.
From the perspective of an email marketer, it's important to be aware that subscribers can mark a newsletter as spam for all kinds of reasons, even if they did initially choose to receive your newsletter.
For example: If emails are sent too frequently, or they don't recognize your newsletter as something they signed up for, subscribers may mark it as spam. A small number of spam reports are acceptable, but if your newsletter gets marked as spam by too many subscribers, it may suffer.
Autoresponders allow you to pre-write a series of several emails, and subscribers receive them in order no matter when they signed up for your newsletter. Autoresponders can introduce new subscribers to your business, and they can be fantastic time savers.
Subscriber segmenting allows you to divide your mailing list based on certain characteristics of your subscribers. For example, you could select out the people who didn't open your email and resend it to them with a new subject line.
Subscriber segmenting is getting beyond email marketing basics and entering into the realm of more advanced email strategies. However, it's good to understand the term because you will come across it as you research email marketing basics and beyond.
Most Wanted Response (MWR)
Your most wanted response is the thing you most want your newsletter subscribers (or website visitors) to do.
If you want subscribers to click on a link to your Etsy shop, that's your MWR. If you want subscribers to visit you at a craft show and use a coupon you included in a mail-out, that is your MWR.
Your most wanted response can vary from one mail-out to the next. Knowing what you most want readers to do can help you design your newsletter more effectively to encourage that MWR.
Other Email Marketing Jargon
There is plenty of other jargon out there in the world of email marketing, but these terms cover the basics. They are the ones you're most likely to come across and care about when you're getting your newsletter started.
Now that you're prepared with newsletter marketing lingo, you're ready to dive in to the email marketing basics series.

Q: Panda Standardising with Condition I need some help about standardize with condition, how can i standardise a column of data
     Score       Rating     Result
1    20          1200      -1.264911064
2    30          1300      -1.264911064
3    40          1200      -0.632455532
4    50          1300      -0.632455532
5    60          1200       0
6    70          1300       0
7    80          1200       0.632455532
8    90          1300       0.632455532
9    100         1200       1.264911064
10   110         1300       1.264911064

I am trying to standardise all the scoers that has the same rating, ie standardise all score that has rating 1200 and 1300.
the scikit-learn. preprocessing.scalar seems to not support this function.

A: Groupby Rating, then for each subgroup you can use transform to calculate the standardized Z score:
df['Result'] = df.groupby('Rating').transform(lambda x: (x-x.mean()) / x.std())

Which will give you your desired output:
   Score  Rating    Result
0     20    1200 -1.264911
1     30    1300 -1.264911
2     40    1200 -0.632456
3     50    1300 -0.632456
4     60    1200  0.000000
5     70    1300  0.000000
6     80    1200  0.632456
7     90    1300  0.632456
8    100    1200  1.264911
9    110    1300  1.264911

Q: RVO (Return Value Optimization) doesn't explain this mystery Simple program:
#include <iostream>

using namespace::std;

class X {
    public:
        X() {
            cout << "Default Constructor called\n";
            i = 0;
        }

        X(int i) {
            cout << "Parameterized Constructor called\n";
            this->i = i;
        }
        X(const X& x) {
            cout << "Copy Constructor called\n";
            i = x.getI();
        }
        ~X() {
            cout << "Destructor called\n";
        }
        int getI() const {
            return i;
        }
        X func() {
            cout << "Entered func\n";
            X x(2);
            return x;
        }
    private:
        int i;
};

int main() {
     X x1;
     X x2 = x1.func();
    cout << "Returned from func\n";
}

It outputs the following:
Default Constructor called
Entered func
Parameterized Constructor called
Copy Constructor called
Destructor called
Returned from func
Destructor called
Destructor called

After the 'Returned from func' is printed, no constructor is called when creating the instance x2. I was actually expecting a copy constructor to be called when instantiating x2 as it would have been if we did something like X x2 = x1;
Now, I was told that this is a result of RVO. Is it true?
In wiki, RVO is defined as:

Return value optimization, or simply RVO, is a compiler optimization technique that involves eliminating the temporary object created to hold a function's return value.

But, I don't buy this for two reasons:
1.x2 here is not a temporary object.
2. If it were really to be the case, then the compiler would have been much better off implementing RVO when x was being returned from the function. That was a genuine case of a temporary object (during the return statement).
So, please explain why x2 was not instantiated after the function returned an object of X.

A: It's much easier to see what's happening if you get your functions to output more precise information.  Consider:
#include <iostream>

struct X
{
    X() : i_(0) { std::cout << "X(" << this << ")\n"; }
    X(int i) : i_(i) { std::cout << "X(" << this << ", i " << i << ")\n"; }
    X(const X& rhs) : i_(rhs.i_) { std::cout << "X(" << this << ", const X& "
                                             << &rhs << ")\n"; }
    ~X() { std::cout << "~X(" << this << ")\n"; }
    X func() { std::cout << "X::func(this " << this << ")\n"; X x(2); return x; }
    int i_;
};

int main()
{
    X x1;
    X x2 = x1.func();
    std::cout << "x1 " << &x1 << ", x2 " << &x2 << '\n';
}

Output on ideone.com was:
X(0xbfd346e8)
X::func(this 0xbfd346e8)
X(0xbfd346ec, i 2)
x1 0xbfd346e8, x2 0xbfd346ec
~X(0xbfd346ec)
~X(0xbfd346e8)

That shows full RVO and elided copy-construction, which will be typical of most compilers at normal production optimisation levels (and quite possibly even lower levels).
I suggest you run the above code on your compiler with whatever flags you've been using, and the addresses displayed should make it clearer to you exactly which objects are involved in the various operations you've observed.  As is, your comments...

Observe carefully. That is called after the 'func entered' is printed. That means that it got called from within the function, i.e. it was referring to the instance x, not x2.

...is flawed logic (with more attitude to boot "I'll just wait for someone who actually understands copy constructors to answer this."), which the better logging should help you realise.  (Then hopefully you'll apologise to Praetorian.)

Home CDC CDC Twisted the Definition of Vaccine – A lie to make billions...
CDC Twisted the Definition of Vaccine – A lie to make billions of dollars for drug companies/ By Dr. Joel S. Hirschhorn
CDC once was a federal agency that nearly everyone respected. That no longer is the case. Now there are many reasons why CDC should be widely disrespected. Its latest debacle is how it changed the definition of vaccine.
Just imagine this: The entire push for COVID "vaccines" was based on a lie – they did not meet the official CDC definition of a vaccine. By doing this the government could coerce the entire population to get the shot. Calling them "vaccines" was the biggest lie from Fauci and the key to drug companies making many billions of dollars.
Why would the government's key public health agency change the definition of what a vaccine is in the midst of a pandemic? After millions of Americans have taken the shot? And millions more are being beaten into taking it for the first time and others to get booster shots.
Here is the key point. It became widely recognized by medical experts and informed citizens that COVID vaccines clearly did not fit the official CDC vaccine definition. CDC thought the answer was not to fix what was deficient with the COVID vaccines or stop their use by most people as so many medical experts advised. Their response was to change the vaccine definition to fit the so-called vaccines.
This was done so that vaccine mandates could keep getting pushed by the government. Of course, the COVID "vaccines" should be referred to as gene therapy products, even better than calling them experimental vaccines.
To see how corrupt this action by CDC was, it is necessary to examine the details of the vaccine definition debacle.
Prior to September 1, 2021 here is how CDC defined vaccine:
A product that stimulates a person's immune system to produce immunity to a specific disease, protecting the person from that disease. Vaccines are usually administered through needle injections, but can also be administered by mouth or sprayed into the nose.
This definition had been used for years and it makes sense. No expert or sensible citizen would find fault with it. But did it honestly apply to the COVID vaccines?
Then this is what CDC concocted:
A preparation that is used to stimulate the body's immune response against diseases. Vaccines are usually administered through needle injections, but some can be administered by mouth or sprayed into the nose.
Here is what CDC also said:
Immunity: Protection from an infectious disease. If you are immune to a disease, you can be exposed to it without becoming infected.
Think about that last sentence: You can be exposed to COVID without being infected; but we know that is not true for fully vaccinated people who still get infected.
This is the key language in the original definition:
"stimulates a person's immune system to produce immunity to a specific disease, protecting the person from that disease."
How rational to invoke the purpose of a vaccine to stimulate an immune system to produce immunity to a specific disease that protects the recipient from that disease. Exactly what everyone for years thought was the correct way to think about a vaccine. People want permanent protection from the COVID infection disease.
But now CDC has taken out the language referring to getting immunity for a specific disease and getting protection from that disease.
Now, COVID vaccines do not have to directly produce immunity. No, now they only have to stimulate the body's immune system.
You don't get immunity because COVID vaccines do not directly produce immunity. They do not directly kill the COVID virus. Vaccinated people can still have high viral loads and also transmit the virus to others. While some individuals may get some health benefits from COVID shots, they do not necessarily protect the entire population. This is why mandates to get everyone the shots really do not make sense from a public health perspective, that Alexander has well substantiated.
Apparently, the only logical way to understand what CDC has done is to accept the truth belatedly seen by CDC that COVID vaccines do not, in fact, produce effective immunity for COVID infection and do not provide effective protection, once vaccinated, from that infection.
Much of the public surely does not yet know what CDC has acknowledged for the COVID vaccines. Odds are that everyone who depends on mainstream media for good information about the pandemic has not been informed about what CDC has done and its implications.
The new vaccine definition, if publicly known, would reduce public confidence in current COVID vaccines. You don't have to be a medical expert to see how the new definition has been created to accommodate COVID shots.
In fact, these definition changes reflect what is now known about the limitations of the COVID vaccines.
Fully vaccinated people can still get COVID disease, referred to as breakthrough infections that, contrary to what the government says, can be very serious, often requiring hospitalization and sometimes causing death, as was the case for Colin Powell.
Such serious effects have been well discussed by Kampf. Other times, breakthrough infections greatly disrupt lives, as recently described by Madrigal, a strong proponent of COVID shots.
Moreover, the COVID vaccines are now widely known from considerable clinical evidence to lose their effectiveness typically in about six months. And even worse, they do not provide hardly any protection against variants like the delta variant. Same disease but from a different virus in terms of its complex genetic makeup. So, befitting the new CDC definition the COVID shots really do not have long lasting effective immunity to the specific COVID infection caused by all variants.
Elsewhere on the CDC website is a glossary of many terms; here is what is especially relevant to the debate about COVID vaccines:
Attenuated vaccine: A vaccine in which a live microbe is weakened (attenuated) through chemical or physical processes in order to produce an immune response without causing the severe effects of the disease. Attenuated vaccines currently licensed in the United States include measles, mumps, rubella, varicella, rotavirus, yellow fever, smallpox, and some formulations of influenza, and typhoid vaccines.
Most people would read this and find that it fits with what they think of as vaccines that have been routinely taken by most people, especially children. Clearly, COVID vaccines do not fit this definition. But seeing this established view of vaccines helps explain why so many people resist and reject the COVID shots. They are so fundamentally different than long accepted and used vaccines.
One of the biggest pandemic scandals is that the government refuses to give full credit to natural immunity that people get from once being infected by the COVID virus. It should be officially recognized as equivalent to "vaccine" immunity.
The following CDC glossary definition is especially relevant:
Active immunity: The production of antibodies against a specific disease by the immune system. Active immunity can be acquired in two ways, either by contracting the disease or through vaccination. Active immunity is usually permanent, meaning an individual is protected from the disease for the duration of their lives.
This CDC definition of active immunity recognizes that you can get it by contracting the disease versus through vaccination. In other words, it recognizes what today is commonly called natural immunity achieved by once being infected by the COVID virus. And that such immunity is likely permanent and better than vaccine immunity, as recent clinical studies substantiate. But it also infers that active immunity obtained through vaccination is also permanent, which clearly is not the case for COVID shots, as evidenced by breakthrough infections.
Also note that it has recently been revealed that CDC has not been able to provide any proof of at least one instance of an unvaccinated, naturally immune individual transmitting the COVID-19 virus to another individual.
And a new study found that almost 60 percent of the people with antibodies had no idea they had even had COVID at all. But they would have natural immunity. Quite consistent with the reality that most people suffer no significant health impacts from being infected with the COVID virus, regardless of all the fear mongering by Fauci and others.
To sum up, a close look at what CDC has done lately reinforces the thinking of millions of people who have reservations and concerns about getting COVID genetic therapy shots that pose myriad adverse impacts and sometimes death.
There is a rational, science basis for thinking that the limited benefits of those shots do not adequately offset their risks. This is true for the vast majority of healthy people, especially children, who have extremely low risk from COVID infection for serious illness, hospitalization or death.
Mandates that do not recognize natural immunity are merely a sham tactic to make money for drug companies.
How interesting it would be, in the context of informed consent, if people were shown the original and new CDC vaccine definitions as a means to stimulate productive discussion with medical providers of COVID shots.
Dr. Joel S. Hirschhorn, author of Pandemic Blunder and many articles, podcasts and radio shows on the pandemic, worked on health issues for decades.

Mount Nemrut
The tomb or The Hierotheseion of Mount Nemrut bears unique testimony to the civilization of the Kingdom of Commagene. Antiochos I is represented in this monument as a descendant of Darius by his father Mithridates, and a descendant of Alexander by his mother Laodice. The tumulus at Mount Nemrut illustrates, through the liberal syncretism of a very original pantheon, a significant historical period. The landscaping of the natural site of Mount Nemrut is one of the most colossal undertakings of the Hellenistic epoch (some of the stone blocks used weigh up to 9 tonnes).
When the empire of Alexander the Great was breaking up, numerous kingdoms were formed in the Hellenized provinces of the East. One such kingdom was Commagene, which, from 162 BC to AD 72, existed as a semi-independent state, its sovereigns defending their autonomy first against the Seleucids and then against the Romans.
The monarchs of this dynasty bore the Greek names of Antiochos or Mithridates. They left behind, in the mountainous region that stretched from the north of the high valley of the Euphrates, not far from Adiyaman, several breathtakingly beautiful funerary sanctuaries. Locations include Eski Kahta, Karakus and, especially, Mount Nemrut, where the most impressive of all the tomb sites is found, that of Antiochos I of Commagene (69-34 BC).
Discovered by chance in 1881 by Charles Sester, an engineer, it was not until 1953 that exploration of the site was undertaken. Dominating the summit of Mount Nemrut is a conical tumulus of stone chips. This funerary mound, whose interior layout remains unknown despite numerous attempts to locate the dromos, is surrounded on the east, west and north sides by artificial terraces.
The east terrace has two distinct levels dug out of the rock. On the upper level, a row of five colossal seated figures (7 m high)representing deities shares a common substructure with two pairs of equally immense statues, each pair comprising a lion and an eagle, symmetrically positioned at either end. Inscriptions on the statues identify them from left to right as being: the god Apollo-Mithras-Helios-Hermes; the goddess Tyche of Commagene; the god Zeus-Oromasdes; Antiochos himself; the god Heracles-Artagnes-Ares.
The heads of these statues have broken off and tumbled to the lower terrace, which is bordered on its east side by a pyramid-shaped altar, and on the north and south sides by rows of orthostats. On the north side, these stones are decorated with relief sculptures representing the Persian ancestors of Antiochos. On the south side, his Macedonian ancestors symmetrically face the others. Engraved inscriptions on the backs of the slabs identify the genealogical links.
The west terrace has similar features, with the same series of five statues between the two lion-eagle pairs, but does not have an altar. The orthostats repeat the dual genealogy of Antiochos I, the Persian branch on the south, the Macedonian on the west. The symmetry is somewhat modified by the topography of the mountain.
Three superb reliefs show Antiochos exchanging a handshake with Apollo-Mithras-Helios-Hermes, with Zeus-Oromasdes and Heracles-Artagnes-Ares. They are framed by an allegorical group of Antiochos and the Commagenes on the left and an astrological relief called 'the king's horoscope' on the right. The inscription, which has been deciphered, gives the date 10 July 62-61 BC: the date that Antiochos I was invested as king by the Romans. Mount Nemrut has been added to UNESCO World Heritage List in 1987.

Vladimir Sergeyevich Antoshin (; 14 May 1929 in Moscow – 13 May 1994) was a Soviet chess Grandmaster, a theoretician and a national champion of correspondence chess.

Student Olympiad performances
As a young man, he was a high achiever, principally as part of the USSR's highly successful Student Olympiad team of 1954–1956. The team won the silver medal at the first-ever Student Olympiad in Oslo 1954 and then took gold medals at Lyons 1955 and at Uppsala 1956. His best performance probably occurred at Lyons, as the strength of the competition was far greater than at Oslo. Playing below world-class grandmasters Mark Taimanov and Boris Spassky, but above Alexey Suetin, his endeavors also earned him an individual gold medal for best score on board three. In all, he accumulated three gold and one silver medal, for a total score of 16/19.

During this period of his career, FIDE awarded him the International Master title (1963) and the Grandmaster title (1964).

Later career
Making a limited number of international tournament appearances, he was successful at Ulan Bator (1965) and Zinnowitz (1966). The latter was probably his finest moment, scoring +8−1=6, to take first place among reasonably strong opposition, including Victor Ciocaltea and Wolfgang Uhlmann.

Aside from Zinnowitz, Hartston notes that Antoshin's  results were never outstanding. His other results were nevertheless respectable; 2nd at Kienbaum (Berlin) 1959 (Uhlmann won), 5th at Moscow 1960 (ahead of Polugaevsky, Hort and Uhlmann), 4th at Sochi 1963, 4th at Moscow 1963 (ahead of Keres, Liberzon, Szabó and Hort), 6th= at Sochi 1964, 2nd at Venice 1966 (Ivkov won) and 4th at Havana 1968 (The Capablanca Memorial). He regularly played at Sochi, but finished lower on other occasions.

His tournament appearances were less frequent in the 1970s. He did, however, share 3rd place at Sarajevo in 1970 and placed runner-up at Frunze in 1979.

A major reason for his limited progress as a player was his continued amateur status. He became a tournament organiser and trainer to the USSR Olympiad team, maintained a second career as a technical designer, and according to Cafferty & Taimanov, was also supposed to have strong links with the KGB. As a further distraction, he chose to play correspondence chess throughout the 1950s, although this notably culminated in him winning the USSR Correspondence Championship in 1960.

At the Soviet Championship, he had moderate results, participating in 1955, 1956, 1957, 1967 and 1970. His highest placing was a share of sixth in 1967.

Theory

Antoshin is the eponym of two opening lines, one occurring in the Philidor Defence and the other in the Dutch Defence.

Philidor Defence

In the Antoshin Variation, Black chooses to exchange central pawns and head for simple, rapid  of the . After ...0-0 and ...Re8, Black's cramped dark-square bishop is often reactivated by playing it to g7 via f8. Play commences,

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 exd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 Be7 (diagram)

and White usually chooses to develop one of his bishops, for example:

6.Bf4 0-0 7.Qd2 c6 8.0-0-0 b5 9.f3 b4 10.Nb1 Qb6 11.g4 d5
with a small advantage to White (Emms) in Hyldkrog–Jensen, corr. 1984. The opening remains fully playable, however, with modern-day proponents including Lev Aronian, Étienne Bacrot and Liviu-Dieter Nisipeanu.

Dutch Defence

The Hort–Antoshin Variation was first discovered by Vlastimil Hort in 1960, when he was just 16; it was then further developed by Antoshin and consequently carries the names of both players. Black's idea is to omit the 'normal' ...e6 move and prepare a central  with ...e5 instead. The line may also be used with 'colours reversed' as a variant of Bird's Opening where White is a move up. Play starts,

1.d4 f5 2.g3 Nf6 3.Bg2 d6 4.c4

Burgess gives the more modern alternative 4.Nc3 c6 5.e4 fxe4 6.Nxe4 Nxe4 7.Bxe4 Bf5 8.Qf3 Bxe4 9.Qxe4 Qa5+ 10.c3 as favouring White in Khenkin–Vasiukov, Voskresensk 1990.

4... c6 5.Nc3 Qc7 (diagram)

whereupon, one possible continuation is the direct:

6.e4 e5 7.dxe5 dxe5 8.exf5 Bxf5 9.Nf3 Nbd7 10.0-0 0-0-0

which ended in an early draw in Minev–Hort, Moscow 1960.

Notable games
Yuri Gusev vs. Vladimir Antoshin, Moscow Championship, 1952, . Black hits his opponent with successive pawn and exchange sacrifices, in order to open lines towards the enemy king.
