IP Bite: Led Zeppelin keeps its "Stairway to Heaven"
Skidmore v Led Zeppelin No. 16-56057 (9th Cir. 2018)
On 9 March 2020, the 9th Circuit United States Court of Appeal upheld a jury verdict finding that the well-known song "Stairway to Heaven" by UK band Led Zeppelin did not infringe copyright in the song "Taurus" by guitarist Randy Wolfe (performed by the band, Spirit).
The copyright work in issue was for the unpublished musical composition of the song "Taurus" which was registered in the US in 1967 (in Australia it is not possible to register copyright). The 1909 US Copyright Act applied because the copyright was registered under that Act. Sound recordings were not granted copyright protection in the US until 1972.
Skidmore (the co-trustee of the Randy Wolfe Trust) claimed that the opening notes of "Stairway to Heaven" are substantially similar to the eight-measure passage at the start of the "Taurus" musical composition. Skidmore argued that the Led Zeppelin members heard performances or recordings of the song "Taurus" before creating "Stairway to Heaven" and therefore had access to copy the work. The jury found that "Stairway to Heaven" was not substantially similar to the "Taurus" musical composition. Skidmore appealed that decision.
The case considered the "inverse ratio rule" which requires a lower standard of proof of substantial similarity when a high degree of access is shown. The 9th Circuit Court overturned the rule noting the flaws in it demonstrated by the way the Court has considered it over the years. The Court stated that access does not negate the requirement that the plaintiff prove that the work was actually copied.
The 9th Circuit Court concluded that there were no errors in the way that the jury was instructed nor were any of the other challenges made by Skidmore established.

To Kill A Mockingbird: Special Edition (1962)

Robert Mulligan
Parental guidance is recommended for younger viewers.
Gregory Peck won an Oscar for his brilliant performance as the Southern lawyer who defends a black man accused of rape in this film version of the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. The way in which it captures a time, a place, and above all a mood, makes this film a masterpiece. The setting is a dusty Southern town during the Depression. A white woman accuses a black man of rape. Though he is obviously innocent, the outcome of his trial is such a foregone conclusion that no lawyer will step forward to defend him--except Peck, the town's most distinguished citizen. His compassionate defense costs him many friendships but earns him the respect and admiration of his two motherless children.
"To Kill a Mockingbird is quite simply one of the finest family-oriented dramas ever made. A beautiful and deeply affecting adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Harper Lee, the film retains a timeless quality that transcends its historically dated subject matter (racism in the Depression-era South) and remains powerfully resonant in present-day America with its advocacy of tolerance, justice, integrity, and loving, responsible parenthood. It's tempting to call this an important "message" movie that should be required viewing for children and adults alike, but this riveting courtroom drama is anything but stodgy or pedantic. As Atticus Finch, the small-town Alabama lawyer and widower father of two, Gregory Peck gives one of his finest performances with his impassioned defense of a black man (Brock Peters) wrongfully accused of the rape and assault of a young white woman. While his children, Scout (Mary Badham) and Jem (Philip Alford), learn the realities of racial prejudice and irrational hatred, they also learn to overcome their fear of the unknown as personified by their mysterious, mostly unseen neighbor Boo Radley (Robert Duvall, in his brilliant, almost completely nonverbal screen debut). What emerges from this evocative, exquisitely filmed drama is a pure distillation of the themes of Harper Lee's enduring novel, a showcase for some of the finest American acting ever assembled in one film, and a rare quality of humanitarian artistry (including Horton Foote's splendid screenplay and Elmer Bernstein's outstanding score) that seems all but lost in the chaotic morass of modern cinema."--Jeff Shannon

UTİKAD Logistics Digitalization and Concrete Initiatives Webinar Was Welcomed by the Sector
03/07/2020 34 Istanbul, GENERAL, HIGHWAYS, Wheel Tire Systems, Marmara Region, TURKEY
utikad logistics digitization and concrete initiatives were met with intense interest by the webinari sector
The third of the Webinar series of UTIKAD, the International Transport and Logistics Service Providers Association, took place on Wednesday, July 1, 2020. The past, present and future of digitalization in the webinar, which the industry has shown great interest, were discussed, the steps that companies should take towards digitalization, the strategies they should follow, and concrete applications related to digitalization in logistics.
UTIKAD General Manager Cavit Uğur, moderated by question and answer method, webinara, UTİKAD Board Member and Innovation Focus Group President Nil Tunasar, Dokuz Eylul University Logistics Management Department Professor. Dr. Okan Tuna, TroyAvi Consulting Founding President Dr. Emre Serpen and CLECAT Customs, Indirect Taxation and IT Senior Manager Dominique Willems participated as speaker.
Nil Tunasar, UTİKAD Board Member and Head of Innovation Focus Group, said,Especially the developments that have emerged since the 1920s have left themselves to artificial intelligence applications today. Interesting developments are taking place in many areas and technology is increasing its share in our lives day by day. Where to go today is a matter of curiosity. While some studies argue that artificial intelligence can never replace the human brain, some studies say that some professions will disappear completely in the coming years. "
Taking the floor after Tunaşar, Professor of Logistics Management of Dokuz Eylül University. Dr. Okan Tuna On the other hand, he expressed his evaluations of digitalization with a different perspective. "We are talking about the concept of digitalization, but at this point, it is necessary to talk about digital transformation. I basically think that we need to separate the two concepts. The first is digitalization and the second is digital transformation. First of all, the problems in the organization should be determined, and then the ideas of how this digital transformation can adapt to the organization and how to use digitalization effectively with this adaptation should be focused on. Let's not forget that digitalization is a technology business, but primarily a strategic management business. The question of how much, at what dose, and at what stage will digitization be, is also very important. "
Dominique Willems, CLECAT Customs, Indirect Taxation and IT Senior Manager, He stated that he was working on applications for digitalization throughout his career, but today's situation is still not at the desired level. Willems said, "To be realistic, I have not seen much change in the last 15, 20 years. Considering the point reached since the 90s, the logistics sector should focus more on this issue. "
In the later minutes of the meeting, the steps and practices taken by the companies were evaluated.
Nil Tunaşar, UTİKAD Board Member and Innovation Focus Group President, said,Global information and communication technology expenditures are expected to reach approximately 2023 trillion dollars by 6. It is not expected to increase in 19 due to the COVID-2020 epidemic, but in the next period, IoT, robotics, virtual reality, 3D printer etc. "Expenditure on new technologies such as information and communication technologies is expected to increase its share day by day."
Tunaşar said, "When we examine the digitalization processes of big companies, we see that digital transformation increases the value and profitability of firms' stocks in the long term. The digital transformation of the 7 leading companies in the world shows that this transformation did not happen immediately, but it has significant financial impact. As a result of the digitalization of logistics processes, companies' stocks over 500 million dollars from 40% to 25%, delivery costs from 20% to 10%, warranty expenses from 25% to 12%, labor costs from 30% to 20% "It seems that they dropped to".
TroyAvi Consulting Founding President Dr. Emre Serpen, drew attention to the need to speed up the digitization stages in order to accelerate the logistics processes. Dr. Serben; "In many countries and industries, digitization steps have been intensely taken and are continuing to progress rapidly. When we consider all these, the logistics sector also needs a lot of work to be done in this sense. The most important reason why the digitalization in the logistics sector is lagging behind other industries is that it consists of a multi-layered structure. The fact that logistics companies have very different cultures is seen as a factor. At the same time, companies need to support their staff working on IT. "The applications of digitalization will continue to increase day by day all over the world, and those who follow these changes will remain in the system, while those who do not obey will remain outside the system."
Professor of Logistics Management at Dokuz Eylül University. Dr. Okan Tuna, During his speech, he also mentioned the "Logistics Trends and Expectations Survey" conducted in collaboration with UTİKAD and Dokuz Eylül University Maritime Faculty.
Professor Dr. Danube; "We asked the companies representing the logistics sector what will affect the industry most in the next 5 years. We got the answer to the robotics and automation systems and the internet of things. I understand that from these results, the logistics sector in Turkey and recognizes the importance of this work is still working on this issue. However, we should not forget that digitization will reduce costs, but other costs will occur, which we never expected. However, I think the work on digitalization will be longer lasting. Transport Works Organizers should be able to use and integrate data both externally and internally. With the works to be carried out both publicly and individually, the gains in this matter will be great. "
Speaking after Tuna Dominique, CLECAT Customs, Indirect Taxation and IT Senior Manager Willems,During his presentation, he discussed digitalization applications with a wide perspective. Willems, He explained CLECAT's approach to digitization with the following words:
"Data sovereignty is key, and digitalization should not be seen as a goal by itself, but as a tool for increased efficiency. Electronic data exchange should be the focus on the digitalization of documents. A distributed network structure is always better than single-center solutions. At the same time, the EU should avoid choosing a single solution and technology by applying technological neutrality. "
Stating that it is an almost completely digitalized and automated system when looking at customs and trade in Europe today, Willems said, "Currently, legislation provides us with a lot of simplification. When we look at the EU countries, they are among the first 25 countries in the Logistics Performance Index. However, this situation brings with it difficulties such as increasing security and security threats, increasing trade barriers, food, health and environmental problems, and new ways are required for international trade to continue growing. "
During the webinar, the need for the support of public institutions was emphasized once again, in order to carry out digitalization efforts, by stating the necessity of a platform that will integrate all logistics companies.
"UTİKAD Logistics Digitalization and Concrete Initiatives Webinar" ended with answering the questions of the audience. UTİKAD will continue to inform the logistics sector with its webinars on various topics in the following period.

The irresistible scent of juicy grapefruit bursts from this delightfully crisp, flavorful, semi-sweet, light-bodied wine.
Best served chilled and perfect to enjoy on its own; this wine also makes a great match for shellfish, light meat dishes with citrus-based sauces, light salads or sandwiches, and mild cheeses.
My husband and I both love this wine!! I like sweeter wines and he prefers dry. This is a wine we can enjoy together!
Great wine for a hot, humid and hazy day. Light and refreshing.
This is now my most favorite white wine to drink! I first tried it at a the Adirondack winery tasting room in Lake George! Out of all the wines I tasted, I only brought home the Drifter! So refreshing! I could, and will, drink this all year long!

School to Male Teacher: Watch This Young Girl Undress or We'll Fire You
In one Florida county, just recently, a male teacher was fired when school officials caught him using his phone to record girls undressing in the locker room. Parents were outraged, citizens were sickened, and students were shocked to see that their privacy had been shattered in such a disturbing way. As far as we know, that teacher has not only been fired, he will be facing a barrage of serious charges, including the possession of child pornography. We can't say we'll weep at his sentencing.
But it's really bizarre to us that across the way in Pasco County, another male teacher is not only being encouraged to watch a girl undress in the locker room…his job is in danger for not doing so!
How can this be, you ask? Well, the girl thinks she's a boy. So yeah, it's about that.
School officials, without informing the male students, allowed the girl to begin changing in the boys' locker room. At that point, the male teacher in question balked at the idea that he would now be supervising an underage girl who would be in various states of undress before him.
The teacher is being represented by the Liberty Counsel, which recently sent a letter to the Pasco County School District.
"With a 'gag order,' school administrators forbade teachers from talking about the change, and ordered a male P.E. teacher to supervise the potentially undressed girl in the Chasco Middle School locker room," the Liberty Counsel wrote. "When he refused to knowingly place himself in a position to observe a minor female in the nude or otherwise in a state of undress, he was told he will be transferred to another school as discipline for 'not doing your job in the locker room.'"
Attorney Richard Mast told The Federalist that the male teacher was first threatened with administrative leave and told that his stance on watching a female undress in the boys locker room "would not be tolerated."
If all of that isn't shocking enough, Liberty Counsel reported that as of two weeks ago, parents of children at Chasco Middle School had still not been told that a biological female was changing out in the boys' locker room. The school board has taken no action to rectify the situation, and administrators at Chasco are still determined to discipline the teacher for his refusal to get with the program.
But according to The Federalist, what's happening at the middle school is right in line with the district's policies on transgender students. After hiring "LGBT liaison" Jackie Jackson-Dean, the district adopted a guide on handling transgender students which says that "transgender pronouns, locker room, bathroom, dress code, and sports access are a student's right."
Furthermore, Jackson-Dean's guide insists that "schools have an obligation to not disclose the student's transgender status to other students or parents unless the student has provided explicit permission to do so."
So yeah, one quick question: What in the everlasting hell are we doing to this country?

U.S. ambassador monitoring for Ebola
The U.S. ambassador to the United Nations said she is self-monitoring for the virus
U.S. ambassador monitoring for Ebola The U.S. ambassador to the United Nations said she is self-monitoring for the virus Check out this story on detroitnews.com: http://detne.ws/1wNTOel
Associated Press Published 12:08 p.m. ET Oct. 31, 2014
U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power (Photo: Christian Thompson , AP )
United Nations — The U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, newly returned from a visit to the West African countries worst hit by Ebola, said Friday she is self-monitoring for the virus like anyone else.
Samantha Power has been openly critical of the quarantine restrictions that some U.S. states have struggled to put in place as fear spreads over the worst outbreak of the disease in history. She said hundreds of health workers have returned from West Africa and that authorities need to show that cases like the recently infected New York doctor are rare.
She described herself as "low-risk" and said she had not gone into Ebola treatment units. Now, following federal guidelines, she checks her temperature and calls health authorities twice a day. She also didn't hesitate to shake hands Friday.
Power tweeted a photo of a mask-and-glove-wearing official checking her temperature after she arrived at a New York City airport late Thursday.
"We went through this with HIV /AIDS," Power said of the fears around Ebola. "We have to tell the story of where risk does and doesn't exist."
Power's visit to Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea this week was meant to turn the spotlight from the few Ebola cases in the U.S. back to West Africa, where nearly 5,000 people have died.
Sierra Leone's ambassador to the United Nations, Vandi Chidi Minah, said U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and others have been invited to visit the region, but it was too early to announce anything.
Power praised the United States response to the outbreak and called on other countries to do more.
"I went on this trip because I and the president had the sense that other countries were not stepping up sufficiently," she said.
The ambassador expressed her hope that France and the European Union would work more to coordinate with officials in French-speaking Guinea.
She again praised Cuba, a country under a decades-long U.S. embargo, for sending hundreds of medical workers to West Africa to respond to the outbreak. "We are working side by side, as it were," she said.
Power noted that China's response is "steadily increasing." And she thanked Air France, Brussels Airlines and Royal Air Maroc for continuing to fly to the region at a time when many airlines and shipping companies have cut ties, harming the economies of the Ebola-hit countries and hurting efforts to deliver aid workers.
Power also said that while the number of Ebola infections is rising, the rate of infections is now decreasing, a hopeful sign.

Jazkarta team with brand spanking new t-shirts!
For the last three days, the Jazkarta team has been enjoying delicious meals lovingly prepared from local farm ingredients by Sally and her husband Doug, walks in the thawing New England woods, and even a visit to a farm to meet the baby goats who were especially attracted to Carlos for reasons unknown, and showed their affection by nimbling at his pants and shirt.
We usually work together from our home offices, and "meet" each other in the IRC channel, so when Sally invited us all to her place for a mini-sprint prior to Pycon, we jumped at the opportunity to meet up in person.
Tomorrow we're getting up early, piling into the rented mini-van and driving 5 hours to Montreal for PyCon! We'll be staying in a shared apartment just a few blocks away from the conference center. If you want to get away from the PyCon crowds and chill out, you're welcome to stop by our pad and say hi. Who knows – Sally might even treat you to some of her amazing home cooking!
See some photos from the sprint!

Here's a story from Kaiser Woodland Hills featuring an award-winning ICU team, including UNAC/UHCP RNs and pharmacists, with a culture based on everyone having an equal voice in patient care. No surprise, the team has high morale and low turnover.
This is what UNAC/UHCP's all about—a voice for RNs and health care professionals. It's great for us, and even better for our patients!

Iraq: John Howard Speaks To Media After Meeting With Tony Blair
Prime Minister John Howard met with UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, following Blair's statement on Iraq to the House of Commons.
Howard spoke to the media outside 10 Downing Street.
Blair's statement to the House of Commons
Listen to Howard (2m – transcript below)
Transcript of Prime Minister John Howard's doorstop interview outside Number 10, Downing Street, London.
JOURNALIST: A half an hour chat. What was discussed?
HOWARD: Well we talked about Iraq and also briefly about the meeting I had in Abuja yesterday with President Mbeki and President Obasanjo regarding Zimbabwe. On Iraq it's fair to say that our views are very similar. I believe that the British Prime Minister has taken a very strong and clear position. His concerns are very close to mine. We are both working very hard. As a permanent member of the Security Council obviously Britain is in the middle of the process in New York. We are both working very hard to marshal support for a Security Council resolution. Both of us remain hopeful that that can be achieved and it can be passed. I think the dossier which was tabled in the House of Commons today is a very strong document which argues a very compelling case. I mean there's a lot of material in it Iwas very familiar with from previous intelligence briefings. But I think it does add to the accumulation of material and accumulation of evidence and supports very much the line that my government and the British government have taken.
JOURNALIST: If you don't get UN backing would you still back action and how do you answer critics of that even from within your own party?
HOWARD: Well Matt I take these things one at a time. I remain positive about prospects of getting an appropriate resolution through the Security Council. I think it is important that we all focus on trying to achieve that, that we deal with the alternative if and when that alternative arises.
JOURNALIST: Doesn't it strengthen your resolve on troops, on sending in Australian troops, the dossier?
HOWARD: The dossier. Well I think the dossier is a very strong document. But look as far as our position of our participation is concerned we take this a step at a time. We are familiar with the planning that has gone on in the United States, the military planning. We've indicated that before and we'll focus right now on getting the support for the Security Council resolutions.
JOURNALIST: How does the dossier help make a case now which couldn't have been made over the past four years?
HOWARD: Well I have said repeatedly Lenore that there was before the dossier a mountain of evidence in the public domain and what the dossier has done I believe is pull together a lot of the evidence that was already there, add some new elements to the case. But nobody I hear is seriously disputing the proposition that Iraq has weapons of mass destruction. Nobody I hear is seriously disputing Iraq's past record of a willingness to not only be an aggressor but also to use chemical weapons in particular circumstances.
JOURNALIST: If the UN inspectors are impeded if they eventually get back in there, do you think war should be the appropriate..?
HOWARD: Look Damien what I'm doing with this is to take it a step at a time. I think that it is very important that the world try very very hard to achieve a diplomatic and political solution to this difficult issue. Nobody wants military conflict. I don't want it, Tony Blair doesn't want it, George Bush doesn't want it. But we can't leave this issue unaddressed. It won't go away. If we hide ourselves in a corner it won't be gone the next morning and people who pretend that it will are deluding themselves.
JOURNALIST: How could UN inspections be effective I mean given Saddam Hussein's record of hiding things from them before?
HOWARD: Well every time and every situation is different from earlier situations and earlier times. And what we are about at the moment is getting a strong fail safe resolution through the Security Council that will legitimately protect the interests of those who could be victims of the behaviour from Iraq that people legitimately fear.
JOURNALIST: Peter Lindsay has compared a possible pre-emptive strike by the United States without UN backing as similar to something of September 11, the terrorist attack. Is that a comment that should be dispelled by you?
HOWARD: Well I certainly don't agree with that and I don't think there'd be many people in Australia who would.
JOURNALIST: Is it an irresponsible comment from him?
HOWARD: No I think people in a situation like this are going to make a range of comments and I respect the fact that different people in different parts of Australia and different parts of the community will have a range of views. I certainly don't share that view and I don't think many people in my party would.
JOURNALIST: Did you discuss with Mr Blair any specific role for Australia in the diplomatic manoeuvrings for the UN resolution?
HOWARD: Well we discussed a whole range of things. I don't know that I want to go into the detail of all of those things.
JOURNALIST: Should there be just one UN resolution?
HOWARD: Well I don't have a rigid theology on that Matt. I think there's value in having one resolution but in the end what matters is what is in the resolution or resolutions and the will of people to enforce those resolutions.
JOURNALIST: Is there any point of trying to use the Commonwealth to put pressure on Zimbabwe?
HOWARD: I think the Commonwealth has to be concerned about what has happened in Zimbabwe. What is at stake in relation to Zimbabwe is a central Commonwealth principle of respect for the democratic process. The Troika was given a role in Zimbabwe because of the rorted election and the Commonwealth in the past has upheld very strongly the maintenance of democratic principles and I think it will be to the Commonwealth's detriment if Zimbabwe is allowed to indefinitely thumb its nose at Commonwealth opinion.
JOURNALIST: The government there has invited you back to inspect the situation first hand. Would you take up that offer do you think?
HOWARD: What's your next question?
JOURNALIST: Prime Minister, should there be a link between the events or forthcoming events if any in Iraq and the overall Middle East situation particularly with regard to Israel and Palestine?
HOWARD: A link in what sense?
JOURNALIST: In the overall sense that it's one Middle East question.
HOWARD: I have never held the view that the situation in the Middle East in relation to the Palestinians and the Israelis is other than a major challenge for the world. I think it remains a huge tragedy that the very generous offer made by Barak some two years ago was rejected by Arafat and I think if it had been accepted the world, particularly the Middle East, would now be a happier place. But there's a place for the Palestinians. They are entitled to a national home, they are entitled to a state, and the aspiration has to be that it exists alongside a secure defended Israel. We have to continue to work on that. I don't think you can look at the whole thing as one issue. There are a lot of currents in the Middle East which the dispute between the Israelis and the Palestinians is but one.
JOURNALIST: Mr Howard isn't there more danger in relation to Iraq if Saddam Hussein knows that the objective is regime change of him using whatever weapons of mass destruction he might have?
HOWARD: I haven't hypothesised about these things in the past and I don't intend to start now.
JOURNALIST: You were a true believer before you walked in the door, what's your position right now as you walked out?
HOWARD: Well I'm not going to use the language of true believers. I don't want the trivialise the issue. It's not like that. My views on this issue are very similar to those of Mr Blairs.
JOURNALIST: Are you even more convinced now you've spoken to him..?
HOWARD: I don't know that my views have altered but I think it was a very valuable discussion and I think he's taken a very strong principled position.
JOURNALIST: Do you think you should now provide a dossier like this to the Australian people, the Australian Parliament?
HOWARD: Look I haven't ruled out further debate, further involvement of the Australian Parliament. In fact I predict now there will be further debates and further statements to the Australian Parliament on this issue. As to whether we need to provide a dossier as such let me point out that quite a bit of the material that is in the dossier was referred to in Alexander Downer's statement to the Parliament last week and a lot of the material that we see of course is material that is part of a shared intelligence arrangement between Australia, the United States and the United Kingdom and I think people in Australia will read the dossier and gain some insights from it. But I don't rule things of that nature out but equally there's a limit to how many different ways you can present the same material.

Il quarto CONCACAF Futsal Championship, disputatosi dal 2 all'8 giugno 2008 a Città del Guatemala in Guatemala, viene considerato il quarto campionato continentale del nord e centro America per formazioni nazionali di calcio a 5.

Il torneo avrà validità anche come fase di qualificazione al campionato del mondo previsto per lo stesso anno in Brasile: le finaliste del torneo e la vincente della finale per il terzo e quarto posto saranno qualificate alla rassegna iridata come rappresentanti della CONCACAF. Nella fase di prequalificazione svolta a Trinidad e Tobago, sono presenti sei formazioni divise in due gironi, le prime di ogni girone si qualificheranno al tabellone principale.

Prequalificazioni - Caribbean Futsal Championship

Il torneo di prequalificazione svoltosi a Trinidad e Tobago, presso il Canedo Hall in the Centre of Excellence di Port of Spain, ha avuto validita anche come campionato caraibico. I padroni di casa di  si sono riconfermati per la seconda volta campioni dei Caraibi, guadagnando assieme alla finalista  l'accesso al tabellone principale del Campionato continentale CONCACAF.

Girone B

Fase finale
Sulla fase finale, alle conferme della nazionale statunitense e di quella cubana si sono aggiunte le interessanti novità di Panama e dei padroni di casa del Guatemala. I panamensi hanno raggiunto la semifinale imbattuti, pareggiando con gli Stati Uniti campioni in carica, e con la nazionale costaricana durante la prima giornata in una gara assolutamente spettacolare che i panamensi conducevano 5-1 a fine primo tempo, per poi trovarsi sotto 6-5 a pochi minuti dalla fine. Il Guatemala ha sfruttato il fattore casalingo e la compilazione del calendario che gli ha consentito di giocare l'ultima gara di qualificazione già sapendo il risultato del Messico diretto concorrente, contro Trinidad e Tobago. Il pareggio per 3-3 con Cuba ha consentito ad entrambe di passare il turno e di giocare le semifinali di sabato 7 giugno.

Nelle semifinali, Cuba non ha avuto grossi problemi a liquidare i panamensi per 4-1, mentre i guatemaltechi hanno sfoderato una splendida prestazione grazie al caloroso pubblico del Domo Polideportivo, battendo seccamente 4-0 i campioni in carica degli Stati Uniti. Nelle due semifinali, sono emerse le prestazioni dei due portieri delle nazionali vincenti: il cubano Wilfredo Carbo ha dimostrato grande reattività, difendendo egregiamente la porta sull'1-0 per Cuba e nel finale ha segnato il definitivo 4-1; il guatemalteco Carlos Mérida, con una prestazione veramente maiuscola, ha negato la rete all'attacco statunitense, il secondo migliore del torneo dopo Cuba, segnando anch'esso una rete sul finale di gara e fermando il punteggio sul 4-0 per i padroni di casa. Merida si è ripetuto anche in finale, salvando in diverse occasioni ed in maniera accezionale la porta guatemalteca, portando i compagni sino ai calci di rigore dove lo stato crentramericano ha vinto 5-3 laureandosi per la prima volta campione della CONCACAF.

Eloi Maduell i García (Barcelona, 1 de juliol de 1975), és un enginyer informàtic especialitzat en la creació digital en directe i el vídeo mapping. És membre fundador del col·lectiu Telenoika i de Playmodes, on desenvolupa i investiga dins les arts multimèdia. És professor de cursos d'introducció a l'audiovisual en directe i de creació audiovisual avançada.

Biografia
Nascut el 1975, el 1993, s'inscrigué en els estudis del grau d'Enginyeria Informàtica a la Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), tot especialitzant-se en Infografia i en Enginyeria de programari o Software. Tanmateix, va rebre formació en relació a les ciències de la computació i el tractament d'aquestes en l'enginyeria. El seu pas per la Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya finalitzaria l'any 2001.

Un any abans però, Maduell havia començat a treballar pel programari Aestesis i va fundar, com a membre d'un ampli col·lectiu, l'Associació Cultural Telenoika.

Telenoika utilitzaria el Festival d'Audiovisuals i Noves Tecnologies: VideA, un dels més reconeguts a escala mundial del qual Maduell n'era coordinador, de l'any 2000 al 2002, per donar a conèixer especialment la feina dels anomenats videojòqueis, els quals creen sessions visuals amb vídeos i música.

Sota el pseudònim pause vj. Maduell va participar en un seguit de festivals audiovisuals tant nacionals com internacionals entre 2002 i 2006; i, l'any 2005 va ser guardonat amb el Premi Vjology als Països Baixos, com a millor videojòquei a escala europea.

Entre 2006 i 2011 ocupà el càrrec de director tècnic al Festival VAD; i el mateix 2006, fundà el col·lectiu Playmodes amb Santi Vilanova, a través del qual estudien, desenvolupen i cerquen aplicacions interactives, tecnologies vinculades a les arts escèniques, mappings, i espectacles de llum digital, entre altres projectes, dins dels procesos d'experimentació interactiva coneguts com a Openframeworks, mostrant les seves obres per tota Europa.

Entre els seus projectes més destacats s'inclou el video-mapping sobre les pintures romàniques de Taüll. Aquest presentava digitalment i virtualment el procés de creació de les pintures romàniques (els frescs de l'absis major i el presbiteri central) de l'església de Sant Climent de Taüll que daten de l'any 1123 i que són patrimoni mundial.

Més enllà dels mappings audiovisuals, Maduell fins ha realitzat un seguit de curtmetratges. Ja el 1998 elaborà el seu primer curt, Telenoia, el 2000 va realitzar-ne el segon, anomenat Eco i el 2003 faria possible el tercer: Somni de Terra i Aigua. A més, és cofundador de LABfàbrica, un laboratori de noves tecnologies ubicat a Celrà (Girona).

PlayModes
Playmodes és el projecte sorgit fruit de la col·laboració d'Eloi Maduell i Santi Vilanova. Aquest projecte té com a objectiu la creació d'art digital i audiovisual.

Playmodes ha creat un conjunt de tecnologies (programari i maquinari) per tal de crear projeccions, instal·lacions interactives e immersives, escenografia, disseny sonor, mappings, etc. Mitjançant l'ús de les tecnologies audiovisuals l'espectador pot entrar en un univers artificial creat per aquestes. L'espectador interactua de forma física amb el material audiovisual, d'aquesta manera aquest deixa de ser un simple espectador i passa a ser un actor que converteix la creació audiovisual en un joc.

El nom del projecte prové d'un primer projecte anomenat Playmodes mostrat l'any 2006 al Mercat de les Flors. Aquest projecte està basat en el concepte vídeo buffer i els miralls que modifiquen el cos que podem trobar en diferents parc temàtics. Aquesta instal·lació mostra el cos de l'espectador a temps real creant un efecte de vídeo dansa, creant diferents experiències visuals. Actualment aquest projecte es troba en desenvolupament per Arturo Castro i Ignasi Alvarez.

Aquest projecte expandeix el seu coneixement mitjançant seminaris, workshops i tallers a universitats i altres institucions. Paral·lelament ajuden a nous creadors i emprenedors a dur a terme el seu projecte, ajudant-los o assessorant-los.

Dins de la part educativa del projecte cal destacar la creació del mapping de l'església romànica de Sant Climent de Taüll, aquest reconstrueix els frescs que hi havia a l'absis original que en l'actualitat es troben restaurats al MNAC (Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya).

A part de la tasca educativa i de recerca audiovisual, PlayModes també realitza un seguit de projectes com per exemple espectacles teatrals: el seu projecte Ink & Dance que combinava la dansa amb projeccions fetes darrere d'una ballarina. De fet, la tasca creativa, artística i comercial és la més extensa d'aquest projecte i el que ha donat més renom al projecte.

Actualment Playmodes ha realitzat més de 45 projectes audiovisuals arreu del món, tot i que la seva activitat es concentra a Espanya i Catalunya.

Telenoika

Telenoika és una associació cultural fundada l'any 2000, d'on Eloi Maduell n'és cofundador. Actualment està situada a l'espai cultural del Raval (Barcelona). Es tracta d'una plataforma on artistes de l'experimentació i la creació audiovisual poden compartir coneixement, donar-se a conèixer al gran públic i expressar el seu art. Actualment reuneix a un grup de persones interessades en les innovacions dels llenguatges artístics i on s'investiguen vies alternatives de comunicació. Està format per tot tipus d'artistes, tant músics, artistes visuals, intèrprets, programadors de programari lliure com tot aquell interessat en la cultura audiovisual, formant així una associació il·limitada d'artistes, on cada any s'hi van sumant més.

L'activitat principal que realitza l'Associació és donar suport a artistes emergents per a participar en concerts i festivals, tot i que també es dediquen a la docència de les arts visuals, ja que hi ha un buit en el coneixment de l'art digital, normalment els interessats són estudiants o artistes de qualsevol modalitat. Per exercir aquesta docència participen en tallers com al programa MIRA Lab del Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona (CCCB), ja que és un espai dedicat als nous creadors d'espetacles en les arts visuals en directe a partir de la nova tecnologia. A més, també creen instal·lacions interactives com el Telenoika Feedback Experience (2009), una reflexió sobre els errors que generen les diferents generacions de mescladors de video. Alhora, creen espectacles visuals de tota mena, així com videomapatges, un exemple és el que van realitzar a Còrdova amb motiu del Festival Eutopia.

En aquesta associació Eloi Maduell, a més de ser un dels fundadors, també desenvolupa projectes dins del col·lectiu, sobretot de videomapatge (video-mapping) des de l'any 2009. Entre altres projectes que ha realitzat, podem trobar el que van realitzar a Itàlia per la segona edició del Kernel Festival (2011) a la façana de La Villa Tittoni Traversi, a La Pedrera (2016) on es representaven visualment les obres d'Enric Granados, en el context de la celebració del centenari de la seva mort, o el Projecte euroregional d'escenes digitals: formes híbrides entre dansa i arts digitals on participava com a representant de Telenoika.

Un altre espectacle important en el qual va participar és el muntatge per la inauguració d'El Molino.

Obra
L'obra realitzada per Eloi Maduell va des del 2006 fins a l'actualitat, s'emmarca dins dels projectes Telenoika i PlayModes, on col·labora amb Santi Vilanova. La seva obra comprèn diferents àmbits: la recerca, el comercial, el creatiu i l'educatiu. També, ha produït curtmetratges com Telenoia (l'any 1998), Eco (el 2000) i Somni de Terra i Aigua (el 2003). Des del 2002 fins al 2006, Eloi Maduell ha participat amb el pseudònim "Pause vj" en diversos festivals audiovisuals internacionals, guanyant el Premi Vjology, l'any 2005 als Països Baixos.

A continuació, s'especifiquen algunes de les seves creacions.

Mapping del Pantocràtor de Taüll
Recreació dels frescs originals de l'església de Sant Climent de Taüll mitjançant un vídeo mapping de l'absis major i el presbiteri de la nau central. Actualment, la pintura original es troba al Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya a Barcelona, MNAC. El projecte i la producció tècnica del mapping de Taüll ha estat realitzada per Eloi Maduell. La pintura es va reproduir digitalment i així es van anar creant les animacions, tot fent recerca per saber com es van pintar els frescs originals que daten del . A l'hora de la reproducció trobem 6 projectors dins l'església que permeten fer la recreació completa de les pintures originals i de la iconografia de l'espai.

El mapping de Taüll neix amb la finalitat de presentar les pintures en l'arquitectura de l'església de Sant Climent de Taüll tal com eren al , recreant digitalment la pintura romànica inicial i les projeccions audiovisuals.

Videoclip de l'Ocell Petit
Videoclip creat a partir de la digitalització en 3D d'imatges que provenen de quadres i retaules del  i del , totes incloses a l'espectacle multimèdia Cénit de Standstill. L'animació i 3D la va realitzar Eloi Maduell i Santi Vilanova.

Mapping sobre la Casa del Mandarí
Espectacle dissenyat per a la façana de la mansió Yuqing a la Casa del Mandarí, es divideix en quatre capítols: L'origen, El període d'or, La degradació i La Renovació. A través d'imatges i so, s'experimenten els incidents que es van donar a la casa del Mandarí, a més de parts de la vida de l'antic propietari de la casa, Zheng Guanying.

Blaus
L'any 2012, Eloi Maduell, Santi Vilanova i Àlex Posada van crear un espai audiovisual relacionant llum i so per tal d'explorar la percepció sinestèsica d'una cisterna gegant d'aigua. Els autors parteixen de hardware i software creats especialment per als seus espectacles experimentals.

Festa Major de la Mercè
El 2014, en el marc de la festa major de Barcelona, la Mercè, la tecnologia s'incorporà al parc de la Ciutadella on es permetia veure instal·lacions de llum i so, creades i dirigides per Eloi Maduell, Santi Vilanova i Àlex Posada. Tot formant part de l'estudi PlayMID. A partir d'elles, s'exploren les possibilitats de combinar l'enginyeria informàtica, l'enginyeria electrònica i el disseny.

Home Health FG keeping surveillance to prevent outbreak of monkeypox – Minister
The Federal says it is working assiduously in collaboration with relevant sectors and stakeholders to intensify surveillance in the animal population to prevent the outbreak of monkeypox in the country.
The Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Dr Mohammad Abubakar, said this in Àbuja.
Abubakar said the surveillance included the point of entry for wildlife as well as creating awareness among hunting communities and the general public on prevention of the disease.
He said that the ministry was working assiduously in collaboration with relevant sectors and stakeholders to intensify surveillance in the animal population and at the point of entry for wildlife.
The minister said that the disease, if left unchecked would likely affect the population of our farmers and significantly would lead to low agricultural production and productivity.
He advised the public to avoid contact with animals that could harbour the virus including animals that are sick or found dead where monkey pox occurs; and avoid contact with any material such as bedding that has been in contact with a sick animal.
The minister urged the public to practice good hand hygiene such as the washing of hands and the use of alcohol based sanitizers after contact with infected animals or humans.
"The ministry would like to assure the general public and the international community of her resolve to continue to collaborate with relevant sectors and stakeholders to promptly contain the disease in the event of an outbreak in the country," he said.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that recently, there has been reported outbreaks of monkeypox disease in Europe and the Americas.
Monkeypox is a zoonotic infectious disease which was first detected in 1958 in monkeys, rodents are now seen as possible means of transmission of the disease to man and animals.

Death Categorization Drives Healthcare Decisions
By World Mercury Project Guest Contributor Joy M. Fritz, posted here with permission.
I work with doctors, coroners and the local county registrars every day to create death records. It's what I do for a living and I wanted to share my thoughts on the mortality rates being thrown around on mainstream and social media regarding the influenza epidemic. Please note: This information I am sharing is not limited to influenza reporting, but rather, serves as a case study of how the mortality rate recording system (mal)functions at large.
I am sorry to say that death rates are NOT as simple or as valid as every news broadcaster with perfectly-trained vocal delivery makes them sound, and they are absolutely not the infallible pillar of medical history that the CDC purports.
This failed mechanism in the mortality rate 'generator', if you will, is the same for the hotly debated adverse vaccine reactions. This is the reason you see horrible adverse vaccine reactions and deaths being claimed by parents on social media, but no line item for them in national statistics.
An Imperfect System
Our current system for capturing mortality rates can and does provide a mostly uninvestigated and inaccurate picture of what causes a death. The process for creating and registering causes of death for public records is a complicated, convoluted, and politicized one. It is completely open to both ignorance and the manipulations of personal, professional, and governmental interests.
I have come to realize how greatly this reality becomes a public health issue during this current flu season when every major media outlet is providing us with live updates on the accruing death toll. Seeing these reports caused me concern for my family. My husband and I discussed what preventive treatment we might consider. I started reading the FDA package inserts for different flu immunization options to get informed on which might be safest for our infant and six-year-old. What I ultimately wanted to investigate was the risk of death. My kids getting sick is just part of life; other people getting sick is just part of life; lowering the risk of death to my family and the people around me is what I cared about when it came specifically to the seasonal flu.
The process for creating and registering causes of death . . . is completely open to both ignorance and the manipulations of personal, professional, and governmental interests.
I started researching mortality rates to find the line item in the CDC reports for "deaths due to influenza" vs. "adverse reaction to influenza medications and immunizations". I found influenza rates, no problem. Flu medications and shots? No deaths reported. Awesome. What a simple decision to make! But, being in the mortuary industry and curious about how they get these reports, I looked at the last full report for 2014, dug deeper, and eventually found that they simply code and reorganize the data that they receive from death records—the very death records that I am typing up and registering every day.
So my head started to explode. And I felt, and still feel, sick. I realized that without being aware of it, I knew exactly how influenza deaths are recorded, and why there was no line item in the CDC's mortality rates for adverse reactions to common medical treatments.
Before I continue, please know that I will not be explaining all the ins and outs of my job, nor the incredibly rare reality that medication complications and adverse reactions do get captured (usually in box 112 of the death record, not as the primary underlying cause). Those exceptions are made possible by exceptional, and likely, very principled people, choosing individually to go above and beyond the call of protocol, whether that be the family that is aware of the impact of the legal documentation that occurs after death and stays level-headed and involved mere hours after the death of their loved one, or an insanely humble and honest doctor, in conjunction with the coroner medical-legal officer who trusts and cooperates with the honest doctor and vigilant family to think outside the box of their standard procedures. Almost five years and nearly 5,000 death certificates later, I can say with confidence that that kind of post-death communication concoction is at a statistical percentage point that even the CDC would consider insignificant.
What most people don't know is that doctors are not allowed to attest to anything that is not a strictly NATURAL cause of death.
Core Considerations
So, in the spirit of very uncomfortable truthfulness, I will share a snapshot of the core issues embedded in the daily procedures of creating the death statistics that we so desperately need to make prudent health decisions for ourselves and our families. I will also include some examples of how these core issues would manifest into faulty statistical analysis at the level of our public health and lead to the miscalculation of the benefits and risks surrounding our individual medical choices.
Core Issue A: Doctors who provide causes have not all been trained the same way, and therefore do not provide standardized responses. This may at first glance seem minor, as it always has to me, but this directly affects the cause that the doctor lists on the death certificate. Some doctors prefer listing the underlying cause of death as the recent complications that occurred in the last days or weeks before death, such as pneumonia or influenza, while leaving out the more chronic illnesses that had led to the decline in health. Other doctors decide they will provide the more long-standing health conditions as the cause of death (for instance, diabetes, asthma or congenital abnormality) while leaving out the more immediate illnesses. Some doctors include both the short-term and long-term diagnoses.
Many factors play a role in which approach doctors choose. These include in what capacity the doctor saw the patient (hospital vs. hospice care for example) or the immediate availability of the complete medical record within the time frame being impressed by the mortuary due to upcoming funeral or cremation services, or simply the way the doctor personally prioritizes information. Furthermore, doctors feel limited as to what they can provide for a cause by the professional context in which they saw the patient, as determined by their specialty. For example, a primary care physician might provide a cause of death as "coronary artery disease" since that was what he/she was prescribing medication to the patient for, whereas the patient could simultaneously be being treated for stage four chronic kidney disease and be on dialysis. In this case, rather than the objectively more serious health condition being listed on the death certificate, the health condition that the doctor is most comfortable attesting to is listed. Again, way too many factors to go into in this piece, but the basic issue of the lack of standardization in cause of death diagnosis and reporting remains.
In the case of a patient who dies after contracting influenza, this patient could have all of the above-mentioned conditions on his/her medical record simultaneously, from influenza to asthma, pneumonia, congenital abnormality, coronary artery disease and chronic kidney disease. Any ONE of those conditions listed is correct and valid, and could be entered as a stand-alone cause which would then be registered by me and the local and state registrar's offices without a query. It's the doctor's preference and his medical opinion—yet the national attention given, medical research dollars, and yearly health choices we all make are swayed by whichever cause this particular doctor, with his/her own particular training and personality, decides to jot down on the worksheet and send back to me to enter into the official record.
CORE ISSUE B) What most people don't know is that doctors are not allowed to attest to anything that is not a strictly NATURAL cause of death. Falls, medication complications or overdoses, causes with the word "injury" in it, anything that is considered an unnatural or external cause is outside the realm of their jurisdiction as far as the death record is concerned. The coroner would need to be contacted and agree to certify or co-certify a death record that has an unnatural or external cause listed. This is a whole other, very complicated reporting issue that I will not get into in this post. I will say, however, from the perspective of a mortuary representative, that everyone involved (doctor, coroner, registrar and myself) understands that the delay caused by any coroner involvement is highly dreaded and avoided if at all possible due to the amplified grief it can cause the family if they do not want an autopsy or investigation done or have to suffer a delay in services and/or an upset in their own personal closure process.
However, the majority of doctors are aware of their own limitation to certify only natural causes of death. And usually in the interest of serving the grieving family, they will provide the simplest natural cause that they know will quickly pass the approval of the local registrar's office, fulfill their duty as a signing physician, and enable the grieving family to move forward with their scheduled burial or cremation services. It should be noted here that doctors are under an additional pressure since they have a limited time set out by their State Health and Safety Codes to provide causes of death to a funeral home. In California, it is within 15 hours of death, although that is rarely achieved. Delays of more than a few days after death would risk them getting their license reported to the state medical board for lack of compliance.
What Works About This System?
The system is created in such a way that naturally occurring infectious disease (such as influenza) can be and is being reported and recorded in national mortality rates. However, the lack of standardization in the way doctors report it creates an unreliable number to set as the threshold for what constitutes an epidemic.
What Does NOT Work About This system?
It does not report on the true consequential timeline of the patient's medical treatment, including unnatural and external complications and errors in their medical care and is therefore woefully inadequate as the basis for ANY medical claims or recommendations.
The first example to illustrate the impact of this issue is as follows:
I read a post from a nurse the other day that shared her story of being hospitalized due to complications of the flu. Even though she had gotten the flu shot every year, she had only gotten influenza this year. Five days after experiencing flu symptoms, she went to her medical provider and was prescribed Tamiflu. She went through her course of medication. Her flu symptoms eased but she started getting a tightness in the chest, which further worsened until she needed to be hospitalized for pneumonia and a close call with sepsis. The conclusion of her post—and her medical opinion as a nurse—was that this year's flu was very dangerous and anyone less healthy than she could have easily died with her symptoms, so she urged everyone to please get the flu shot to prevent the flu from spreading.
The saddest part about reading her story was discovering that she must not have read the Tamiflu manufacturer's insert, which states that "No influenza vaccine interaction study has been conducted" and "Efficacy of TAMIFLU in patients who begin treatment after 40 hours of symptoms has not been established" and furthermore, "Events reported more frequently in subjects receiving TAMIFLU compared to subjects receiving placebo in prophylaxis studies, and more commonly than in treatment studies, were aches and pains, rhinorrhea, dyspepsia and upper respiratory tract infections." (emphasis added)
This would lead to an alternate, very feasible medical conclusion that her hospitalization and pneumonia was the result of using a medication that has not been tested on a population of her vaccination status and symptoms duration, which also has the adverse reaction of a URTI.
…the likelihood of influenza causing the death is greater than the medication causing the death because of mortality rates—but they are the ones creating the mortality rates…
But what if someone less healthy than herself with her exact symptoms and medication course HAD died? Her medical opinion, and many other medical care providers' opinions would have been that it was influenza that had caused the death, instead of the complications of the medication. In the medical provider's mind, the likelihood of influenza causing the death is greater than the medication causing the death because of mortality rates—but they are the ones creating the mortality rates—so what is considered reasonable likelihood is being created in a closed loop, a regurgitating cycle.
So, whether the attending physician at the hospital was aware of this medical misstep by the other medical provider or not, in this case the hospital physician could simply put "Influenza" on the causes of death worksheet and send it back to me. Influenza would be entered in the death record and be reported in the state and then national database as such with no question from me or the government registrars.
A Public Health Reporting Conundrum
What this has created, then, is a serious public health reporting conundrum. Death due to complications of improperly prescribed medications are NOT being calculated into the national reporting agencies in a real-time setting. Neither would they be communicated in real-time to the public. Instead, people would simply hear of the rising influenza death toll and run for more medication (and likely not be reading the manufacturer's insert either to verify if they truly are good candidates for that medication).
I have many friends and family in the medical industry and it is easily admitted that legal and personal liability is a factor in the considerations of proper reporting.
In this medication example, as you can imagine, even IF the recorders realize that the medication was prescribed erroneously, it would not be in the professional best interest of the medical provider or medical facility to report this prescription error and its possibly fatal complications to the family or public health officials. I have many friends and family in the medical industry and it is easily admitted that legal and personal liability is a factor in the considerations of proper reporting. However, if and when this possibly fatal prescription misstep was ever reported, it would be in some very passive EMR analysis many months or years later, with no urgency or real-time public health warning. The ability for government to cross-check and minutely examine nearly three million decedent medical records of varying electronic availability—annually—is just not there.
This failed mechanism in the mortality rate "generator", if you will, is the same for the hotly debated adverse vaccine reactions. This is the reason you see horrible adverse vaccine reactions and deaths being claimed by parents on social media, but no line item for them in national statistics. It is not because they don't exist or don't happen. The real-time data reporting system of death recording is not set up to calculate these deaths. The families that become aware of the adverse reactions in time to request investigation (<24 hours after death), and are able to request any relevant pathological specimens to be procured before the burial or cremation of their loved one, would then need to have the time and resources to go through the lengthy reporting and court procedures through the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) and the National Vacine Injury Compensation Program (NVICP). A very few families do, and if they can establish enough scientific evidence (like pathology reports) and find and produce enough experts and professional support, they MIGHT eventually get the causes of death amended and compensation for their loss paid out by the allotted government fund. And after five, 10, 15 or 20 years, this passive data capture system might accrue enough statistical information to be reported back to the medical community so that they adjust their recommendations. However, with the HHS claim that only around 1% of vaccine injuries are reported to VAERS, even this may not be realistic.
So, just like in the medication example, any death due to an adverse reaction to the flu shot or for ANY regularly scheduled wellness immunization, would similarly not be captured in the standard process of death recording. As before, the doctor can still provide either influenza or any other natural-occurring immune response as the only cause of death. He would send it to me and I would enter it in, get the state to approve it, and "Voila!"—a thoroughly inaccurate mortality rate reporting.
Impacting Informed Consent
One of the most difficult realities for me to recognize in examining the mortality rate reporting system that I am a part of, is that the medical community itself is suffering from the ignorance that this kind of circular mortality rate generating system creates. Doctors and coroners are limited by the already existing mortality rates to gauge the likelihood of what caused death. That kind of system can only regurgitate the same causes of death over and over again by forcing its reporters to use the same types of "acceptable" death diagnoses that already exist.
And these are the statistics the medical community uses to educate themselves and provide informed consent to the patient on what the most prudent option is for medical care to safeguard health and prevent death.
And, yes, I will take the opportunity here to say that we can logically apply this critical analysis of the lack of proper data capture to those reluctant to vaccinate or use medications. There is no current national data capture system that records the morbidity or mortality rates of those who choose less medical intervention or choose to not vaccinate themselves or their kids. We don't know what their life expectancy, quality of life or mortality rate is in our modern day, with the advancements in hygiene, technology and post-disease-diagnosis medical care availability being considered. It could absolutely be worse, statistically, but we wouldn't know.
For nationally reported statistics, we are left then with bad data on one side, and no control group data on the other. Hardly the recipe for safe or settled scientifically guided medical care.
Now where does that leave you and me? Our highly subjective—yet somehow infallible—weaponry of mortality rates, whether from national statistics or the social media horror stories, has us and all our friends and family swinging the manic flag of "People are dying!"
This flu season, for example, some of our friends are saying, "People are dying from flu! Get vaccinated! Take medication!" while other friends are saying, "People are dying from adverse reactions to medications and shots! Don't get vaccinated! Drink elderberry!" And we are all running for the nearest remedies that we are sure will help us because of statistics—OR because we don't see statistics reflecting our lived reality, so we do the best we can to discern our health without statistics.
But I'm the one creating these statistics and I offer you this: If you take one thing away from this, take away a healthier skepticism about even the most accepted mainstream, nationally reported, CDC or other "scientific" statistics. Humans who had no concept of their widespread impact made them. The numbers are not hard—they are very, very fluid. And conversely, have a healthier skepticism about all the alternative remedies we welcome as hopeful scientific-ish options. There is no unbiased, century-long, data capture system set up for these choices either.
As a parent, the most painful part of taking a step back and looking at all this, is having to humbly admit—I don't know what the right thing to do is.
I don't have the unbiased data I need to make the safest decision for my children.
I don't know what the right thing to do is for myself, or for my husband.
I don't know what side of the fence to stand on in the vaccination and mainstream medicine battlefield, and I don't want to stand on a side: I just want the unbiased, uncorrupted and standardized data needed to accurately assess the benefits vs. the ultimate risks for my family's health.
A Self-Reporting System
In the face of this fallible data capture system, my own resolution that I am willing to publicly recommend—no matter what medical choices you decide are best—would be:
Become self-reporters. Keep a health journal for each family member complete with dates and times and severity of symptoms of illness, and track dates and dosages of any medical treatment administered. Track degree of fevers, severity of migraines, frequency of ear infections, changes of behavior, hospitalizations, medication dosages and immunization combinations, etc.
Think critically and ask questions when you see inconsistencies in any health recommendations offered to you or your family. Request and encourage a satisfactory discussion of benefits and risks with your medical provider.
Download and thoroughly read the manufacturer's insert provided on the FDA's website for any medication or immunization you are considering, and verify that you are a good candidate for that medication. If you decide to use that medical treatment, record any minor reactions in the health journal, immediately report any somewhat severe reactions to your medical provider, and ask for that information to be added to your electronic medical record so that it might inform any future medical provider on your individual contraindications you may have in other medication courses. Remember that each of us is liable for our own health choices; you cannot expect a medical provider to be a perfect assessor of what's best for you.
Follow up and make sure proper reporting was done on the medical provider's part to the appropriate national databases, or report it yourself: MedWatch reports for medications and VAERS reports for vaccines. This recommendation is less for you and more for others and for the sake of having the appropriate authorities informed so they can eventually take medical treatments off the market and create the demand for safer ones. Those kind of databases can only function well for the populations they serve if they are being used by everyone.
Yes, people are dying. Each and every day. I do their death records every flu season or surfing season. And try as hard as we do—and no matter how absolutely shredded inside I am, especially when I do an infant or child's death certificate—we will never eradicate death. We CAN work to slowly eradicate and reform bad systems and misinformation. And even though there is no immediate gratification in it, we will probably save more lives when we work intelligently, truthfully and ethically towards a better future. That usually starts with a lot of humility and admitting that change is needed.

Recently, scientists have begun registering too many anomalies associated with the Earth's magnetic field. It periodically weakens or disappears altogether, deforms and twists. Experts cannot yet say for sure what is happening to the planet.
American researcher James Kaufman published interesting results: for some reason, the density of the solar wind in the nighttime part of the planet is much higher. As soon as the sun rises, this density begins to decrease.
Previously, the solar plasma went in the direction of the orbit of Mars and other planets, but now it moves in the opposite direction from the globe.
It is impossible to find an explanation based on existing physical laws. Some have put forward the incredible hypothesis that the Sun has turned into a black hole and is now close to the Earth.
According to some researchers, this could lead to the fact that the radiation does not move from the Sun to other planets, but from Pluto to the Sun.
According to other experts, on the side of Mars there may be a massive body, the radiation of which is comparable to that of the sun. A second stream is created, which blows off the Earth's plasma and carries it to the Sun.
The presence of such a space object could explain the multiple increase in the number of meteorites, comets, asteroids falling to the Earth and flying past it – which can be a cloud of debris going in front of such a huge object.
The closer this object approaches the Earth, the more falling meteorites will be, and as the object approaches, the size of the meteorites falling to the Earth will increase. Then, loud boom sound are getting more intense and sun-like objects appear out of nowhere:
As far as we know, neither the airlines nor even the Pentagon have such devices. Moreover, the thing was somehow very powerful, since its brightness is phenomenal – the light sources merged into one and illuminated the entire space around.
Strangesounds.org, have prepared an excellent overview of the so-called "booms in the sky" that have been roaring over the United States lately:
NORTH CAROLINA LOUD BOOMS: Thousands of people are reporting hearing loud boom sounds (at least 2) between 5-8pm, possibly localized to the Lewisville area. FCSO says 911 is overwhelmed by calls- but no reports of injuries. The cause is unknown. @WFMY pic.twitter.com/anZZFvCUoc

People hear a rumble, as if the fighter took the sound barrier directly overhead. But – no one sees any planes anywhere. Unfortunately, it is very rare to "photograph" the crash, but it so happened that one woman accidentally filmed how her door to the veranda began to shake from this "boom in the sky":
What kind of object could it be and create all these anomalies? For example, a wandering planet, the same mysterious planet X (aka Nibiru in the ancient epic of the Sumerians)?.
TWO SUNS RISING!!! Has anyone ever seen this phenomenon? Taken with iPhone 12 Max Pro… I couldn't believe what I was seeing… didn't notice until playback.

These are only assumptions, and it takes time to find out what is really happening with our planet.
A Tesla electric car with an activated autopilot function recorded an invisible person who allegedly moved around the cemetery. Social network users jokingly noted in the comments that, most likely, this is some new function from Elon Musk, which allows you to see ghosts.
In the United States, a Tesla electric car with an activated autopilot function recorded an invisible person who allegedly moved through a cemetery.
The corresponding video was posted by Twitter user Ovidiu Maciuc.
The recording shows how a silhouette of a man appears on the monitor of an electric car, moving around the cemetery. After that, the driver raises the camera and starts filming the graveyard through the windshield, but there are no people there.
After some time, the "ghost" went in the opposite direction from Tesla and disappeared from the on-board computer screen.

Social network users jokingly noted in the comments that, most likely, this is some new function from Elon Musk, which allows you to see ghosts.
For many though, if you take into account the comments, the video seemed rather creepy. Some even tried to guess what the navigation system actually showed.
Some users thought the system could recognize ghosts. Others refuted this version and said that the reason for all this is an insufficiently accurate sensor, which was used for the equipment of the Tesla car.
Earlier it became known that Tesla electric cars in the near future may receive a new function with which they can talk with pedestrians. For this, American cars will be equipped with special external speakers.
In addition, Tesla cars in the future will receive the option to change the horn and sound of movement at low speeds to warn pedestrians. According to Elon Musk, among the sounds of movement there will be the sound of the clatter of a horse's hooves, and as a whistle – the bleating of a goat.
About two weeks ago, Tel Aviv residents noticed that the concrete surface outside their homes was heating up and steam was coming out of the ground. Tests showed that steam that reached 60 ° C (140 ° F) was water based.
The witness explains: "I was afraid that there was a power line in the area and asked a worker to dig out the ground with a shovel. Steam suddenly came out. I imagined it was probably a geyser. It seemed to me that this was a geological incident – also because there were no problems with electricity in the building. "

Although the experts did not find any hazardous substances or any risk to the stability of buildings at the site, residents as well as kindergartens in the area were evacuated.
Officials described the heat source as "trapped energy" of unknown origin.
Work continues, steam is still rising and the ground is still hot. It is currently unclear what is causing the warming. Note the hole dug in the area. The area is still blocked.
Mysterious origins
City officials said they will "continue to monitor the temperature of the earth, which is expected to cool down for a long time, and will continue to investigate the causes of the unusual event."
Israel Electric Corporation has not found a connection between heat and power in the area.
חדשות מחמי גבירול: העבודות והמדידות נמשכות. האדים כנראה פסקו וגם האדמה מעט התקררה (שימו לבל לסרטון, במקום המדידה הזה 39.3 מעלות). כמה סברות ששמעתי על הסיבה מגורמים שעבדו בשטח: תשתית חשמל ישנה בעומק הקרקע (חברת חשמל שללו) או חומר אורגני שבמגע עם מי תהום התחמם

The Israel Geological Survey confirmed the rise in temperature after testing ground and water temperature levels, but said it has not yet found an explanation.
Despite their best efforts, municipal officials, the fire department, Israel Electric Corporation and the Ministry of the Environment have yet to find a source of heat.
Meanwhile, the Tel Aviv municipality has informed dozens of evacuees that they can return to their homes. However, residents are not going to return until they receive a detailed account of the source of the mysterious event.
"They evacuated us because they were concerned about our safety, and now they are urging us to return without any convincing explanation. How can you be sure that there is no more danger? "
