IACHR Asks Inter-American Court of Human Rights to Extend Temporary Protection Measures in Favor of Lesther Lenin Alemán Alfaro and Freddy Alberto Navas López and Their Families, Given the Extreme Risks They Face in Nicaragua

Washington, D.C. – The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) has asked the Inter-American Court of Human Rights to extend the temporary measures granted to protect the rights of Lesther Lenin Alemán Alfaro and Freddy Alberto Navas López, as well as their families, because they all face an extremely serious and urgent risk of suffering irreparable harm to their rights in Nicaragua. This request seeks an extension of measures granted on June 24, 2021 in the court decision Juan Sebastián Chamorro and Others v. Nicaragua.
In both cases, while precautionary measures in favor of these individuals have been in place since 2018 (PM-1343-18) and 2019 (PM-621-19) respectively, the risks have increased in the current context, marked by a human rights crisis in Nicaragua. The IACHR noted that Lesther Alemán belongs to the Nicaraguan University Student Movement and Freddy Navas belongs to the Nicaraguan Peasant Movement. The Commission further noted the actions taken by both individuals since the start of the human rights crisis in April 2018, as well as the demands issued by the movements they belong to for guarantees that the general election scheduled for November 2021 be democratic.
The information the Commission has received suggests that the incarceration of both individuals is closely linked to targeted efforts to silence all government critics and all individuals perceived as government critics, and to publicize the punishments awaiting anyone who demonstrates or otherwise protests against State action or who demands democratic safeguards for the upcoming general election of November 2021. There is evidence of arbitrariness in their arrest in July 2021, linked to the use of a normative framework that ultimately criminalizes the opposition. No concrete information is available on the current conditions of detention and official whereabouts of these two individuals, on the measures that are in place to protect their rights from the prevailing risks, or on the violations of due process that are being alleged.
In line with the Inter-American Court judgment in the case of Juan Sebastián Chamorro and Others, the Commission asks the State of Nicaragua to take the following measures:
Immediately release Lesther Lenin Alemán Alfaro and Freddy Alberto Navas López; and
Immediately adopt all necessary measures to effectively protect the lives, integrity, and personal liberty of Lesther Lenin Alemán Alfaro and Freddy Alberto Navas López, as well as members of their families.
Similarly, to ensure the enforcement of the judgments of the Honorable Inter-American Court, the Commission asks the Inter-American Court of Human Rights to demand that Nicaragua:
Allow delegations of both the IACHR and the Inter-American Court to enter Nicaraguan territory, to verify the implementation of these temporary measures and to ensure they are effective.
When deciding whether to request temporary measures, the IACHR takes into consideration Article 76 of its Rules of Procedure and any available reports that suggest that the requirements held in Article 63.2 of the American Convention are met. Following the assessment process, an extension is requested considering the problems at hand, the effectiveness of State action given the situation that has been described, and the lack of protection faced by the individuals for whom temporary measures are being requested in case these measures are not granted. The decision to request temporary measures from the Inter-American Court is based on the context of these events.
The Inter-American Court of Human Rights grants temporary measures in extremely serious and urgent cases, to prevent irreparable harm to individuals. Temporary measures are compulsory for States, and the decisions they hold demand that States adopt specific actions to protect the rights and/or lives of the individuals and groups who are under threat.
A principal, autonomous body of the Organization of American States (OAS), the IACHR derives its mandate from the OAS Charter and the American Convention on Human Rights. The Inter-American Commission has a mandate to promote respect for and to defend human rights in the region and acts as a consultative body to the OAS in this area. The Commission is composed of seven independent members who are elected in an individual capacity by the OAS General Assembly and who do not represent their countries of origin or residence.

Peer-to-peer file-sharing programs are best known for their use in illegally distributing copyrighted music and video files. With some of these programs you host the shared files on your computer, and other users can search your computer for a particular file. This is a significant security issue. Some people have not configured the file-sharing program correctly and are unintentionally sharing private information. And in certain cases, a child installs the program on the family computer without the parents' knowledge.

Today's 2010 December solstice comes at 23:38 (11:38 p.m.) Universal Time today, when the sun on our sky's dome reaches its farthest point south of the celestial equator – an imaginary line around the sky directly above the Earth's equator. Translating Universal Time to Mountain Standard Time, that is 4:38 p.m. today.
At this solstice, we celebrate the (unofficial) first day of winter in the northern hemisphere and first day of summer in the southern hemisphere. Unofficial? Yes. Winter and summer start at the solstices by tradition, not official decree.
Yet, these solstices bring very real occurrences to our sky, which you can witness. In both the northern and the southern hemispheres, the December solstice brings the southernmost sunrise and the southernmost sunset of the year. If you stand in one spot night after night, week after week – for example, gazing out a window toward the sunset on the horizon – you will surely notice the sunset's northward trek along the horizon over the coming months. From time to time, try fixing a bit of tape to the window on which you have written the date, to help you mark the sun's passage.
In the northern hemisphere, today's southernmost sunrise and sunset ushers in the year's shortest day and the longest night. In the southern hemisphere, it is the exact opposite. The year's southernmost sunrise and sunset give the southern hemisphere its longest day and shortest night.
Not everyplace worldwide has a sunrise and a sunset on the day of the December solstice. North of the Arctic Circle – or north of 66.5 degrees north latitude – there is no sunrise or sunset today, because the sun stays beneath the horizon all day long. South of the Antarctic Circle – at 66.5 degrees south of the equator – you will not see a sunrise or sunset either, because the sun stays above the horizon all day.
To celebrate the solstice, how about looking at the planet Jupiter blazing away in your southern sky after sunset tonight? Although the solstice falls on or near December 21 every year, Jupiter's place in the starry heavens is not fixed. At present, Jupiter lodges at the border of the constellations Aquarius and Pisces. One year from now – on the 2011 December solstice – Jupiter will be found at the border of the constellations Pisces and Aries.

Q: DevExpress Winform controls Radiobutton group I am working on a winform  application where I need to present a radiobutton group for allowing users to specify options among mutually exclusive ones. The DevExpress control radiobutton  group looks like not flexible enough. For example , it does not allow arranging the individual radios in a different layout , nor it allows me to attach other controls ( like a text box ) to one of the radio that will get enabled when the radio button is selected ( and similar customizations.. ) Am I missing something or is it a case where I need to write my own user control( I can assemble my own control from the good old Winform controls quickly to get this , but I want to make sure there's nothing already like this from DevExpress ) ?

A: It is possible to position radio buttons the way you need. This can be done using separate CheckEdits.  To make them work as radioButtons belonging to the same RadioGroup, set the editors'
Properties.RadioGroupIndex to the same value
Properties.CheckStyle to Radio
Hope, this helps.

Audio description trial FAQs
Reviews and how tos
Policy and expectations
Home TV & Video Audio description on TV
Audio description (AD) is a second audio track that can be turned on and off which describes the important visual elements of a program. It is essential for providing equal access for viewers who are blind or vision impaired. AD is widely available on television overseas but is yet to be offered in Australia.
The ABC's audio description trial and the future of audio description
Audio description services on television are now established in many countries. In 2012, a trial of audio description was conducted on ABC1 over 13 weeks.
Following the trial, the ABC reported to the Australian Government on the technical aspects of the trial's delivery. The report can be downloaded from the Department of Communications website. Media Access Australia has analysed the report and offered solutions to some of the technical issues it raises:
Audio description – where to now [PDF 182 KB]
Audio description – where to now [docx 85 KB]
It was expected that the release of the report would be followed by stakeholder discussions about the introduction of a permanent audio description service on the ABC, but this did not happen. As a consequence, in July 2013 Blind Citizens Australia (BCA) lodged 21 disability discrimination complaints against Federal Government and the ABC for failing to provide an audio description service on television, and has since lodged further complaints. While conciliation discussions on these complaints are ongoing, there is as yet no indication when or if the ABC will introduce an audio description service on television.
Meanwhile, in August 2014 the Department of Communications announced that a trial of audio description would take place on the ABC's catch-up TV service, iview. The trial began in April 2015, with the audio described programs available on iPads and iPhones, Android devices, FreeviewPlus and, after some technical difficulties were sorted out, desktops. At least 14 hours of audio described content was added to iview each week, with a mix of drama/entertainment, documentary/current affairs and children's programming.
The response of consumers to the trial, which ended in July 2016, was overwhelmingly positive. The ABC has compiled a report on it, and then a group of advocacy organisations, including Media Access Australia, prepared a series of recommendations in February 2017. The Government recently responded to this by announcing the formation of a working group that will report back to Government by the end of 2017 with recommendations. For more information on the latest developments in AD on Australian TV refer to an April 2017 article on the AD on TV Working Group formed by the Government.
Levels of audio description
The highest levels of audio description on TV are found in the United Kingdom, the United States and Canada.
In the UK, all broadcasters have been working towards 10% of audio described programming since 2003, with many channels doing more than this. In the US, legislation passed in 2010 will see the major networks and cable stations broadcast 7 hours of audio described programs per week by 2012.
Germany, Austria, Ireland, France, Switzerland and other European countries have also had some audio described programming.

How audio description is delivered
Television audio description services are usually provided in a 'closed' format. This means that the viewer selects the audio description service via a menu option or button on the remote control.
Audio description is delivered as a second audio stream to your television, and can be either 'receiver mixed' or 'broadcast mixed'. For more information about receiver mixed and broadcast mixed.

Ending the civil war
Susie C. Spear
This looks like the beginning of a civil war.
The chaos and violence in Kenosha, Wisconsin are unfolding as I write. I feel as though I'm watching some natural disaster develop, suddenly overpowering any hope for social change "before it's too late."
Is it already too late — that is to say, too late to disarm our concept of social order and, for God's sake, safety? The American problem of guns is not only that there are so many of them, vastly more than there are people; and that they are deemed, by so many Americans, necessary for survival and empowerment, commanding a reverence in the collective imagination right there alongside the flag and the cross; but also, that they are inextricably linked, in so many ways, with American racism.
The American racial divide — at least one side of it — is armed. Indeed, the original Civil War, I fear, never ended. For the next century it was called Jim Crow and was simply part of the national norm. After the Civil Rights movement, however, it had to be waged in privacy, behind a veil of platitudes and lies. The privacy ended with the advent of the cellphone video, which began exposing the police killings of men and women of color for what they were: acts of government terrorism, a.k.a., war. These killings may have been "unofficial," but were never merely the result of bad apples disobeying orders and violating the values of their profession. They were upholding the values.
The raw obviousness of this is what makes the videos of police actions, fatal and otherwise, against people of color, so horrific to observe. Consider the most recent viral video: the shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha on Aug. 23.
The police, responding to a call of a domestic dispute, apparently determined that Blake was the perpetrator and began struggling with him. There is significant witness testimony that Blake had intervened to break up the fight. But officers determined Blake was at fault. Blake ignored their orders, walked away and opened his car door.
It was a modestly complex misunderstanding. In a different world, this could have been handled courteously. But in today's America, Blake had committed a capital offense.
One officer fired at him from behind with no hesitation. Seven shots rang out! This is beyond credulity ... But it was also situation normal: An African-American man was being shot in the back, over and over and over. And his three sons were in the backseat of the car. One of them had been celebrating his eighth birthday.
Miraculously, Blake survived, though he may never walk again.
Joe Biden said: "These shots pierce the soul of our nation."
And the Milwaukee Police Association declared:
Politicians need to remain calm until everything comes out.
In other words, while it may well be OK to shoot someone in the back without "knowing the facts" (e.g., who is this person?), rushing to judgment afterward can cause harm.
And then the protests began. The media coverage basically seems to regard the protests, whether nonviolent or violent, as a single entity.
And most protesters accept that responsibility: staying peaceful and urging others to do the same. When looting and fires erupt anyway, they view it with regret and despair.
The problem here is that the whole thing remains in us-vs.-them mode: Even peaceful protesters face police firing teargas and rubber bullets, especially if the protesters cross certain boundaries.
But the protest isn't just a show; the point is transcendent change.
Too many people in this country want to continue the civil war.
This is half a civil war. Some of the participants are police and some are vigilantes. They are armed and desperate for enemies.
To the extent the protests stay peaceful, they lose.

Latest News: 2021 BFF's Grand Chameleon Award & Best Short Narrative SEIVA BRUTA (UNDER THE HEAVENS) by GUSTAVO MILAN gets shortlisted for the 2022 OSCARS in the Live-Action Short Film Category
Seiva Bruta (Under the Heavens)
Director: Gustavo Milan
Brazil, 2019, 17 min
Shooting Format:16mm Aaton XTR
WINNER: Grand Chameleon Award and Best Narrative Short
Cast:Samantha Castillo , Luiz Carlos Vasconcelos, Abilio Torres , Brenda Moreno
Crew:Writer: Gustavo Milan. Producer: Gustavo Morozini. Cinematographer: Lasse Ulvedal Tolboll
Email:gm2444 AT nyu.edu
Web:www.nanuchafilms.com
Marta, a young Venezuelan mother, is immigrating to Brazil when she meets a struggling young couple with a baby girl. Her ability to breastfeed causes their fates to become forever entwined.
Gustavo Milan is a Brazilian filmmaker currently living in New York City where he attends the NYU Tisch Graduate Film Program. He began making films in 2014 after graduating from the French school of documentary Les Atelier Varan in Paris. In 2016 he completed the full cinematography program at Maine Media Workshops (Maine). His latest short film "Seiva Bruta/Under the Heavens" won the award for Best Latino Short Film from the Directors Guild of America. In 2020 Gustavo also received the Wasserman Award, NYU's top honor in recognition for outstanding directorial achievement.
"Seiva Bruta / Under the Heavens" is about the pain of abandonment, and how the current political crisis in Venezuela has strongly impacted the structure and stability of Venezuelan families.
This film is a result of a long field research, where we were able to travel to the border of Brazil with Venezuela and listen to the people facing such difficulties. Only after that we felt authorized to write a story that reflects such reality.
Although these researches served us as a starting point to the development of the script, they also greatly affected the way we visually conceived the film. As an example, the decision to shoot in 16mm was intrinsically connected with the theme of motherhood. The unique and nostalgic look of the 16mm film helped us to enhance the emotional state of the characters, mainly the lead (Marta). A deep sense of loss and absence was then brought into the story.
"Seiva Bruta" could be literally translated to "Raw Sap" meaning the white vital fluid that runs inside every plant.

A page from history: Atomic bomb dropped on Japan
Shocking the world, an Allied bomber dropped an atomic bomb on Japan in August of 1945.
On this date in history: August 6
Shocking the world, an Allied bomber dropped an atomic bomb on Japan in August of 1945. With a force of 20,000 tons of TNT, the single atomic bomb drop on Hiroshima equaled the explosive power of four bombing raids, each raid made by 500 bombers, the Associated Press reported in The Canton Repository.
Police Chief Riblet said that according to reports, wiring in 50 to 60 houses being built in Canton had been cut with investigations bringing few clues regarding the perpetrators.
Mrs. Henry Binns of Canton returned form Brandeis University in Waltham, Mass., where she attended a resident adult education institute.

Special guest on this week's show is Dr James Hansen, director of NASA's Goddard Institute of Space Studies and perhaps the best-known climate scientist in the world — the man who put the 350 in 350.org and a forceful advocate for leaving coal in the ground. We caught up with him during his recent NZ tour, and grabbed an interview during his whirlwind visit to Canterbury University (thanks Bronnie!). John Cook's back from the tour launching his new book Climate Denial: Heads In The Sand, and talks about his experiences on the road as well as debunking the "CO2 lags warming" myth. Plus the Australian Climate Commission's new report, The Critical Decade, Britain's ambitious new carbon targets, and a couple of new solar power initiatives.

Just a man god!!!
Interests:Farthings, farthings and more farthings!!! Oh and British Colonial coins
A Kelly Brook of a farthing (1872)
My 1717 received on Friday has had me in a whirlwind this weekend
Will we get to see any images?
An example of an extremely rare coin, which was minted from 1582-1586 with the then having attained majority portrait of James VI. The legend IACOBUS 6 DEI GRATIA REX SCOTORUM translates as James 6 by the grace of God, King of Scots. The young king holds a sword, a symbol of his authority. The reverse of the coin has the Scottish arms, I R and XXX S for Thirty Shillings, the denomination of the coin. The legend around the reverse is HONOR REGIS IUDICUM DILIGIT 1586, which translates to "The Kings power loveth judgement", unfortunately his son, Charles I would face that judgement in 1649. This coin is S-5487 in Seaby, and SJ630-025 in Coincraft. Curiously this denomination would not be issued again until after James VI accessed the English throne in 1603, and portrays the king on horseback.
It amazes you how the portrait captures a young figure. Even though partly worn, you can immediately tell is a young ruler!! Great coin
Nice medal Chris. I had a look on:
http://medals4trade.com/collections/thumbn...=556&page=1
to see if it was there but unfortunately I can't see it. I'll PM the owner of the website Dan to see if he knows anymore about it. He is quite knowledgeable when it comes to Victorian medals and has a lot of reference books on the subject.
"The medal appears to be British Historical Medal #3061 Royal Agricultural Prize medal. The Obverse iis the same as the #1955 from 1840. The Royal Society of England held its annual meeting in 1879 at Kilburn in London. It was the 40th Anniversary and was held on an unprecedented scale and assumed the proportions and form of an international exhibition. It was give the special title International Agricultural Exhibition. As a result of the increased cost of the exhibition, the Mansion House Committee was formed by the Lord Mayor of London to help meet some of the expenses The Committee offered prizes for foreign stock and produce, together with the prizes for Sewage Farms and Market Gardens. The site of the exhibition amounted to some 100 acres and was obtained from the Ecclesiastical Commissioners. It was situated in the area between the London and North Western and North London railways some 2 1/2 miles from Marbl Arch. Considered Very Rare "RR"

Well obviously British coins. Classic cars (mainly Triumph and other BL masterpieces of the 70s). Heavy old rock music from prog to metal (Pink Floyd, Sabbath, Zep, Rammstein etc etc). I still fancy Kylie Minogue.
Great background info, thanks very much! Sounds like it was more than just a marrow length and orangeness of carrot contest then.
Does Dan want it for his collection? How much is 'very rare' worth, or is this the kind of area that really depends on finding someone that can't live without it?

Can I claim the prize for the nastiest looking coin on here? Its the worst one in my collection. Its only redeeming feature is that its a type 1 1689 Halfpenny, so very hard to come by for any kind of sensible money.
Horrible isn't it, but it fills a long standing gap. The only problem is that I have now discovered that there is a type 2 1689, so.......I'm on the lookout again. Oh well!
DaveG38
Nay worse for a tin farthing though. I sure would like one of those of any persuasion, ie grade. I think the whole story about them and the tin mines of Cornwall just adds to the ambiance of owning one.
The merk as pictured above was the most common silver Scottish coin from the reign of Charles II that circulated in Scotland. It was the equivalent of 13/4 or Thirteen Shillings, Four Pence and was the last vestige of the Merk reckoning used in Scotland for hundreds of years. Curiously the term "Quarter Dollar" was not used contemporaneously, but only as a reference much later on, so in effect it is not really accurate in describing these coins. This coin is S-5620 in Seaby and SC-21M-135 in Coincraft.
Heres a coin that should test Scotish Money's knowledge of all things Russian:
Russian Kopeika issued during the tyranny, whoopsy, I mean reign of Nikolai II(1894-1917) minted at SPB or Sankt Peterburg mint in 1897. It was worth about a farthing in value during that time.
If I post any acquisitions which are not Scottish or 17th tokens, do in no undo haste slap me silly. Hopefully soon my next will be something yellow coloured and 555 years old from Scottyland.
Thanks Scottish Money, I knew you would know where it was from. I have no use for the coin and its yours if you want it - free of course as you have been so helpful since I joined the forum - just let me know if you want it.

I hope it's okay to post back into this old topic. I was thinking of starting a similar kind of topic but it's cool that the idea has already been thought of before.
Got some interesting ones for you here.
Pic 1 - a 2008 20p piece with a large blob of metal on the tail along with some other smaller residue and messups on the line of spots.
Pic 2 - A 2008 5p piece with the Queen sporting a rather fetching goatee beard. The year looks like it's also been weakly struck with it fading out to nothing.
Pic 3 - I finally found one! The 2008 Olympic £2 coin! Only 910,000 were ever minted according to the RM website.
Pic 4 - A banknote... sorry! =p. But does the low serial number make it more desirable?

If something seems too good to be true, you can bet your life it isn't true. Oh well, my search for the "missing mule" of 1920s pennies goes on.

An "accidentally on purpose" mix up by the seller ?
I think a genuine blooper to be honest. He has a 100% rating and has a whole load of cleaned 20th Century coins out there, all at 99p starts. I think he really didn't know the difference between a 1927 and a 1928 obverse!
got this from my dealer from 10p. error fake george 3rd halfpenny... heard these fakes can be worth a bit
Some people - especially Americans - love to collect those forgeries. Although there are many of them, I think they are fascinating as each one is different. And they are historically interesting too.
They are coveted by US collectors, and as stated there are a multitude of varieties, so it is a case of hoping you have the right one!!
A bargain at that price
Could be a genuine mistake, I mean I've been collecting 20 years and until just now I didn't know there was a difference between 1927 and 1928 obverses! It just proves that you live and learn.
If I'm an expert in anything at all, I suppose it's in Geo V.
FWIW, the 1927 obverse is the same as the 1926 Mod Effigy, but from 1928 the ME was reduced in size quite a bit, so the legend goes almost full circle around it. (This is only on pennies - all other denominations, the ME stayed the same size).

Police: Woman called 911 after letting killer borrow phone
By GENE JOHNSON The Associated Press
CORRECTS DAY TO TUESDAY IN SECOND REFERENCE - This surveillance video image released by the Yakima Police Department shows a suspect sought in a shooting at a convenience store in Yakima, Wash., early on Tuesday, Jan. 24, 2023. At least three people were killed in a random shooting Tuesday, in Yakima, and police are still searching for the suspect. (Yakima Police Department via AP).[ASSOCIATED PRESS]
SEATTLE (AP) — Police located the suspect in the random killing of three people at a convenience store in Yakima, Washington, after he borrowed a stranger's cell phone to call his mother and confess to what he had done, authorities said Tuesday.
The suspect shot and killed himself behind some warehouses as officers approached, said Yakima Police Chief Matt Murray. No officers used force and none was injured, he added.
Police had surrounded Jarid Haddock's family home after Tuesday's pre-dawn killings, but he wasn't there, Murray said at a news conference. Instead, the 21-year-old had gone to the area of a Target store in the city, where he borrowed a woman's phone and called his mother.
The woman overheard the conversation, which included incriminating statements such as "I killed those people," as well as the man's threats to kill himself, according to Murray. The woman then managed to get her phone back, separated herself from Haddock and called 911 to report his whereabouts, Murray said.
"I listened to that call — it's pretty harrowing," Murray said. "I have to really thank her again because she was very courageous in getting us there."
Murray said investigators still had no idea what prompted the shootings. Haddock entered the Circle K convenience store a little before 3:30 a.m. Tuesday and shot and killed two people who were there getting food, then stepped outside and shot someone else in a car.
"There was no apparent conflict between the parties," Murray said, citing witness statements as well as surveillance footage. "The male just walked in and started shooting."
He then walked across the street to another gas station and began shooting into his own car to get inside, because he had locked himself out, Murray said.
Police did not immediately release any information about the victims.
The attack is yet another outbreak of violence in the early weeks of 2023 as the U.S. suffers a wave of mass killings that has claimed dozens of lives.
After the killings, police released a surveillance image of the man and warned the community to be on the lookout. Law enforcement converged on his parent's home, across a road from a storage facility on the outskirts of the city of nearly 100,000 residents, about 140 miles (225 kilometers) southeast of Seattle. Court records listed the home as a previously known address for Haddock.
Haddock appeared to have little criminal history. He was arrested in March 2020 after police saw him in a car that had been stolen from a woman who had left it running; he ran from officers who pulled him over, according to charging documents filed in Yakima County Superior Court, and he reported being homeless.
He successfully completed a diversion program, despite twice violating its terms by using methamphetamine or heroin, and the charges were dismissed in December 2021.
At Yakima Riverside Storage, across the street from the home surrounded by police, receptionist Tabitha Johnson said she was taking the unusual precaution of locking the doors, which she can monitor through windows and security cameras.
"It's quite scary, but Yakima isn't new to shootings," the 39-year-old said.
Associated Press writers Rebecca Boone in Boise, Idaho, and Andrew Selsky in Salem, Oregon, contributed to this report.

Appeals court faults health insurer for ignoring authorization requests
The Florida District Court of Appeal, First District, found February 27 that an insurance carrier forfeits its right under state law to contest the medical necessity of a request for authorization for referral for medical treatment if the carrier fails to respond to the request.
This material originally appeared in the March 6, 2009, issue of Health Lawyers Weekly, a publication of the American Health Lawyers Association (www.healthlawyers.org).
Gail Elmer filed suit challenging the decision of the Judge of Compensation Claims (JCC) denying her requests for: (1) authorization for referral to a pain management specialist recommended by her authorized treating physician; (2) an award of palliative care; and (3) attorneys' fees and costs.
The JCC found that defendant, Elmer's employer and insurance carrier, failed to respond to repeated written requests by Elmer's treating physician for a referral to a pain management specialist.
The JCC went on to conclude that Elmer was not entitled to a referral because it was not medically necessary.
Elmer challenged the decision, arguing that, pursuant to either section 440.13(3)(d) or (i) of the Florida Statutes (2002), defendant was estopped from arguing the referral was not medically necessary because it failed to timely respond to her doctor's written referral requests.
The appeals court noted that section 440.13(3)(d) provides that:
A carrier must respond, by telephone or in writing, to a request for authorization by the close of the third business day after receipt of the request. A carrier who fails to respond to a written request for authorization for referral for medical treatment by the close of the third business day after receipt of the request consents to the medical necessity for such treatment.
Section 440.13(3)(i) says that a claim for a specialist consultation is not valid and reimbursable "unless the services have been expressly authorized by the carrier, or unless the carrier has failed to respond within 10 days to a written request for authorization, or unless emergency care is required."
The appeals court highlighted that defendant did not respond to Elmer's doctor's multiple requests for authorization for referral to a pain management specialist within either three or ten business days after receiving them.
"If there is no response, the plain language of statute provides that the [carrier] has consented to the medical necessity of the treatment," the appeals court said. Thus, defendant has forfeited the right to contest the medical necessity of the referral here.
As a result, it was error for the JCC to deny an authorization for the pain management referral on the ground that it was not medically necessary, the appeals court found.
"Consequently, it was also error to deny Claimant's request for attorney's fees and costs for prevailing on this issue," the appeals court held.
However, the appeals court summarily affirmed the second cause of action-an award of palliative care-finding Elmer failed to preserve the issue.
Elmer v. Southland Corp., No. 1D08-3394 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. Feb. 27, 2009).


The annual observance of the International Day of Disabled Persons was proclaimed in 1992, by the United Nations General Assembly resolution 47/3. It aims to promote the rights and well-being of persons with disabilities in all sectors of society, and to increase the awareness of their situation in every aspect of political, social, economic and cultural life. It is expected that this day will be celebrated with events and activities organized by UN agencies, civil society organizations, scientific organizations, businesses in cooperation with organizations of people with disabilities. Bulgaria signed the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities on 23 May 2007, which obliges Member States to ensure the implementation of human rights and fundamental freedoms and for people with disabilities.
This year topic of the Day is Transformation towards sustainable and resilient society for all, focusing on the priorities included in the UN Program for Sustainable Development 2015-2030.
With the Erasmus Success4All project dedicated to entrepreneurship and labour market education for young people between the ages of 18 and 30, the Centre for Research and Analysis focuses on the acquisition of entrepreneurial skills for these young people. For this purpose, an internet platform with entrepreneurial courses for people with different types of disabilities is being prepared within the project to enable them to become independent entrepreneurs.


The festive break is a time for us to relax and enjoy ourselves. Unfortunately, illness doesn't stop for the holidays. With the whole nation celebrating, what should you do if you fall ill over Christmas?
Now's the time to take stock of your prescription medications. If you're running low, order more. If you have an illness and are travelling, make sure you're properly insured and that the people you're staying with know what medication you're on and what to do if you become ill.
Minor injuries can be treated at home. Make sure you have a first aid kit with plasters, paracetamol, calpol, wound dressings and antiseptic to hand.
Is there someone to ring?
If you need advice or medical help for something that's not life-threatening, you can call the NHS 111 service, which operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The NHS 111 service can also help point you in the direction of which health service you need – pharmacy, walk-in centre, GP surgery, minor injury unit or A&E.
Pharmacists are experts in many aspects of healthcare and can advise on common ailments, or refer you to a GP or walk-in centre. Some pharmacists are open much later than doctors and you don't need to book an appointment.
Check if your local doctor is open during the holidays. Most GPs will only be shut on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day. Check with your surgery for their opening hours.
What if the GP is closed?
Walk in centres are open 365 days a year and are staffed by nurses and doctors. These centres are for minor illnesses or injuries. You don't require an appointment or have to be registered, however during busy times you will have to wait to be seen.
You can find your nearest walk-in centre on the NHS website or by calling 111.
When shoud I go to A&E?
A&E is not an alternative to a GP and should only be used in emergencies. It should only be visited for life-threatening conditions such as loss of consciousness, persistent/severe chest pains, fits and convulsions that won't stop, severe bleeding that cannot be stopped, a severe allergic reaction and burns/scalds.
Less severe injuries such as broken bones, animal bites or other injuries can be treated at minor injury or urgent care centres. By using these walk-in centres you take the strain off A&E departments during the busy Christmas period – and you'll save yourself a long wait too! You can find your nearest walk-in centres on the NHS website or by calling 111.
Do I need to call 999?
You should only call 999 in a medical emergency – when someone's life is at risk. It is important to ring 999 if someone has had a stroke, heart attack or medical trauma, as every second counts with these conditions. Major trauma usually occurs from a serious head injury, fall from height, stabbing, shooting or a serious traffic accident.

You know them truly, and you might even love them!
The excuses you give, and myself occasionally as well, that keep us all from reaching our next comma.
They degrade and detract, keeping our revenue, leads, and content to a stand still.
No more however! Because we're about to dissect and execute these 5 excuses to the hangman.
1. I don't want to do that.
one that we know will produce results. One that we know works. But we think, "I don't want to do that.
It's to hard. It's to tiresome".
The issue with thinking in this direction. Is that you'll be prevented from doing anything worthwhile and result producing.
Because the best results, are on the other end of difficult and tiresome activities.
2. I don't have the time.
You hear this from your own family and friends. But you know what it is?
An excuse, and cow dung.
Because by this time and day, you know that it's very practical and easy to actually create time.
doing non-income producing activities every day.
Create time, stay up late, stop being lazy, and utilize time to the fullest. Your next comma will thank you.
3. I don't have the knowledge.
Or find out who does, and learn from them!
We often plead ignorance, and it's ignorant to do so!
In our day and age, there is SO much information. You can literally learn to build a house from youtube.
Don't know how to do something? Not sure what to charge for a certain product?
Want to know more about the right subject?
Say no more. Go to google and search to your hearts content.
You have to take action, now. Literally right now, and stop read.
Do what you KNOW you must. Do what you KNOW you're afraid of. And DO, more then you should.
Your next comma will thank you for it.
5. You don't act out what you learn.
The number of people who attend masterminds and events is incredible.
But the number of people who utilize what they learned from events, is pitiful.
There is hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars worth of knowledge taught at almost every event.
business or company. Immediately. Business is an attention and action game.
Those two things set the people who reach their next comma, and those who don't, apart.
Make sure you reach yours!
You are now aware of 5 lethal mistakes keeping most businesses and large companies from reaching their next comma.

Brunswick Review The Predictions Issue
The human cost of data unshared
A data entrepreneur inside the UN, Robert Kirkpatrick talks to the Brunswick Review
At a time of scandals involving misuse of data, Robert Kirkpatrick offers a prediction that many might find surprising. As Director of the United Nations Global Pulse team, Mr. Kirkpatrick believes that data scandals in the future might involve the failure of companies and governments to share and use public data for the good of mankind. The United Nations created Global Pulse in 2009 to bring the power of data-based prediction to policy making, rather than relying solely on surveys and statistics. Since then, Global Pulse has worked with the UN and governments to construct big data solutions to humanitarian problems.
Mr. Kirkpatrick, formerly a founder of the Humanitarian Systems Team at Microsoft and CTO of a nonprofit public health spinoff of Google, has seen his UN team expand from a few employees to 75, with offices in New York; Kampala, Uganda; and Jakarta, Indonesia. Brunswick's Beatriz Garcia spoke with Mr. Kirkpatrick about how far his team has come, and his dreams for it moving forward.
Five years ago, would you have predicted the kind of growth you've had?
I'm a pathological optimist, so probably. But in the early days of this project, there was huge skepticism about all of it. You know: You'll never get companies to share their data, you'll never be able to protect privacy, the data won't yield insights relevant to policy-makers, data scientists won't want to work for the UN, and even if it does work, governments will refuse to use it. All of that has proven not to be the case.
What has been Global Pulse's biggest success thus far?
We have played a seminal role in the creation of a global movement around finding safe and responsible ways to use big data and artificial intelligence for the public good.
Some eight and a half years into this, we can say that governments now take it for granted that these data have the potential to improve public services, early warning systems and crisis response.
We have companies actively seeking ways to put the big data they collect to work for the public good. We have regulators who've spent years focused on privacy and the risks of misuse suddenly recognizing a whole other set of risks associated with not using this data.
On the whole, has industry cooperated?
The mobile industry is the furthest ahead on this – we're working not only with mobile operators around the world, but also with their industry trade organization, the GSM Association.
In 2017, the Association established an explicit strategy around putting anonymized mobile big data to work for the public good. There are currently 19 mobile operators who are committed to the GSMA's program on big data for social good. They call it BD4SG. And it includes not only developing and piloting analytics solutions for response to natural disasters and disease outbreaks, but also development of data aggregation and anonymization standards, as well as an ethical code of conduct for data handling and use.
This is exciting for us because it shows how data philanthropy could work at an industry-wide scale rather than with just one partner at a time. We think GSMA's approach should serve as a model for other industries with untapped, high-potential data, such as financial services, retail, e-commerce, transportation, manufacturing, agriculture, pharma and others.
Mobile is important because so many more people around the world these days are able to afford mobile phones. There's a $40 Android smartphone now. And even basic-feature phone users produce a ton of real-time data, including for poor communities who don't regularly access the internet. Subscribers move through cities and across national borders, sending and receiving calls and messages, topping off their airtime credit and transferring mobile money. You can take the data produced, aggregate and anonymize it at appropriate levels to protect privacy, and still be able to essentially create real-time information on patterns of mobility and the economic
activity of populations in places where you would be lucky to get survey or census data more than once every few years.
Mobility information has incredible predictive power. You can see through the use of this data how many people have been displaced by a natural disaster, hour by hour, and where they're gathering in need of assistance. You can see when they're migrating across borders in unusual numbers in response to the impacts of climate change, economic opportunity or conflict.
When you combine mobility with other data such as rainfall and laboratory diagnostics, you can build epidemiological models that predict the time and location of outbreaks of diseases like cholera, dengue, seasonal influenza, malaria, even Ebola, allowing public health departments to improve prevention measures. With a risk map of malaria, you know where to distribute mosquito nets, alert clinics and restock drug supplies in pharmacies.
It turns out that how people consume mobile services has very powerful predictive value. We've seen in Uganda that you can generate a nearly perfect proxy for the Multidimensional Poverty Index, which is a standard measure of poverty assessed periodically through the national census, simply by looking at the weekly amounts people pay on prepaid services.
Across much of Africa and the developing world, people prepay for mobile services using scratch cards, where you can buy a dollar's worth or 10 dollars' worth of airtime credit. Variables related to airtime consumption, it turns out, predict both overall household consumption and food consumption with close to 90 percent accuracy – an indication of the important role that access to mobile services plays in the lives of rich and poor alike. Because mobile money is spreading all over the developing world now, and people are using text message-based services to buy and sell goods, being able to spot a 10 percent drop every week in a community's average airtime spending allows you to predict that they are going to be under severe economic stress in the near future. Knowing this, you can better target cash transfers, school feeding programs or other social protections that prevent harm from happening in the first place.
We ended up leading development of guidelines on big data privacy, data protection and ethics that have now been adopted by 32 UN agencies
Outside of mobile, are corporations seizing the opportunity?
They're starting to. We've used anonymized debit card transactions to measure the impacts of a natural disaster and how long it takes different communities to recover. We've developed an algorithm that uses marine traffic data and deep learning to detect refugee rescues by commercial vessels in the Mediterranean. We're using Twitter to map xenophobic speech about refugees along migration routes across Europe. We're now exploring how to combine retail transactions with other data to predict rates of non-communicable diseases.
For a company to do this, though, is not without risk. There's reputational risk and there's regulatory risk. And businesses are still quite hesitant. Customers are understandably uneasy about who is doing what with their data, and there's no regulatory playbook for anonymization, sharing and usage of the most relevant data sets.
What I can tell you is that companies find the UN a pretty good sandbox for exploring the opportunities. We have international mandates from the very governments that regulate them, not only around supporting progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals and more effective humanitarian action, but also around human rights – which includes privacy. Inaction isn't an option for us. We genuinely have to find ways to use this data for good, and we have to do it with a first-do-no-harm approach.
What we see today is companies around the world in different industries experimenting with this. It's piecemeal. It's very spotty. It's still fairly embryonic, outside of the mobile industry – a few banks, a few grocery store chains, logistics companies.
It will take leadership to move this forward. If we can get five or 10 of the top financial services providers in the world to join a global alliance to look at this, for example, I think others in the industry would follow. Because at the end of the day, this is about giving back to your customers in a way they didn't even know was possible – in ways that can change lives and save lives.
There's actually a business case for doing this. If you offer services in a developing country, for example, and a drought causes affected communities to have to sell their assets, curtail their use of services, and even migrate elsewhere, there goes your market. What if it turns out that changing patterns in how they use your services show up in your data warehouse six months before the real hardship begins? Insights from your business data could have been used to help your current and future customers cope with the impacts of that drought.
There's a sense in which you are actually creating business risk by failing to ensure that insights from your data are used to inform policies that boost the resilience of your market.
In addition to the CEO, whose ear do you seek at any large corporation – the CIO?
It's still all about the CEO, and here's why. Companies have their corporate responsibility and philanthropic activities. They have their legal and privacy responsibilities. And then they have teams of data scientists doing analytics around marketing, operations and product development. They think of all those as completely separate. The idea that this most sensitive data that's the core of your business, and your best competitive asset, could be processed in a secure and privacy-preserving way that has a huge positive impact on society and doesn't open you
up to an attack by your competition is completely disruptive. Until the CEO has that sort of a-ha! moment, nothing else can be set in motion. CEOs are the only ones who can make the call. Once they do, everybody in the company gets so fired up. It's inspiring. They don't want to just provide access to data, they want to share their knowledge and the tools they have developed to analyze the data. It's a serious boost for morale, recruitment, retention. But the CEO has to be the starting point.
Does the public know about lost opportunities involving use of data?
The average person on the street has no idea how much data they produce. They still don't understand how it's being bought and sold and used for everything from national security purposes to profiting companies they've never heard of. They do know they are largely in the dark, and that they have little say in the matter, and they aren't too happy about it. Trust is at a low point.
And the last thing they could possibly know about their data is that there's also an opportunity cost they've been paying every day by not having it used in ways that could impact the health of their families and their communities. The public awareness aspect of this is something that we are very keen to take on.
Do the data privacy scandals of the last year affect your argument for socially beneficial data sharing?
With Cambridge Analytica and the evolution of the European legal landscape around privacy, the issue is back in the news.
A big part of our work here at Global Pulse is actually about privacy. Given the nature of the work we do, we ended up leading development of guidelines on big data privacy, data protection and ethics that have now been adopted by 32 UN agencies. We founded and co-chair the UN's Privacy Policy Group, which is working to develop the first set of privacy principles for the entire UN system.
People used to say that big data is the new oil. I think it's actually a bit like nuclear energy. It's turned into yet another extractive industry. It's expensive to work with. Many of its benefits aren't reaching those who stand to gain the most. And in its raw form – mixed with your personal information – this stuff is dangerous. It can leak, and it can contaminate. But if you have the science to understand it, and the engineering needed to store and process it safely, you can power a whole new approach to early warning, disaster response and crisis resilience. That's game-changing.
We recognize that existing privacy laws don't adequately (anywhere in the world) protect people from the unique risks posed by big data. This stuff is difficult to anonymize. We don't think this is simply about more regulation, though. We need to rethink how we manage risks. There are ethical obligations to consider. How can we better protect data privacy without stifling the data innovation needed to help vulnerable people, learn to live sustainably and create a more prosperous future for everyone?
Here at the UN, Secretary-General António Guterres has just appointed a new high-level panel on digital cooperation that's pulled together everybody from privacy experts, policy experts, world leaders, technology experts and ethicists to begin looking for a new way forward. I can tell you that right up to the highest levels of this institution, people are looking at the opportunities to transform society with responsible uses of artificial intelligence, and they are thinking about the types of ethical and legal frameworks needed to prevent harm.
Everybody's excited about the new business models for Silicon Valley, while worrying about people in the US or Europe losing jobs to automation. We also need to be thinking what AI and automation in agriculture and healthcare could do to eliminate hunger and disease in the poorest countries, though, and we need to address the likely impacts of massive job losses in fragile, conflict-prone states.
You have to balance the risk of misuse of big data against the risk of
missed use
How do you respond to the argument that sharing data is inconsistent with the protection of privacy?
There's a growing recognition of a paradox. If we focus only on privacy, then we don't innovate and find ways to use the data. You have to balance the risk of misuse against the risk of missed use. The opportunity cost of not using this data for the public good is really quite high. We are incurring it every day, and everywhere, largely unbeknownst to anyone.
As citizens become aware that the data they produce has all of this potential to increase the efficiency, effectiveness and accountability of government, you're going to see political pressure on policymakers not only to better protect people against privacy risks but also to ensure that whenever this data can be safely and responsibly used for the public good, it is. There has to be accountability around non-use, not just accountability around misuse.
Public good applications of predictive analytics won't ever achieve scale and sustainability, though, if we view this opportunity purely through the lens of philanthropic incentives. Yes, at the extreme humanitarian end of the spectrum, real-time mobility data can help you find people after an earthquake. But nearer to the middle, you find plenty of opportunities to serve the public good with solid businesses cases for public sector markets: knowing how people move through a city can help municipal government improve transportation systems, assess the dynamics of tourism, determine the locations for new schools or hospitals, and estimate pollution exposure. And at the other end, you have purely commercial business models, like deciding where to build a new store.
Have you witnessed indignation over the missed use of data?
A few years ago, at a World Economic Forum event, I was running a breakout session with about 15 CEOs. I raised the scenario of a hypothetical industrial accident in which a toxic plume of smoke was drifting toward suburban neighborhoods, and I asked them, "OK, who has data produced by their business model that could help first responders save lives?"
The CEO of a large insurance company raised his hand and said, "We know where all the people in wheelchairs are and all the people with asthma. For that matter, we know where all the elderly people are, and all the children."
The initial response was along the lines of, "Wow. So you could help get those people out first?" Then someone else said, "What about privacy?"
So they started brainstorming and soon came up with the idea of a mobile app that shows some houses as red, others as orange, others as yellow. It wouldn't disclose why houses are red. The firemen don't need to know your medical condition. They just need to know to go to the red houses first, then the orange, etc. They could get the most vulnerable members of the community out of harm's way first, without compromising privacy.
Initially, everyone was nodding and saying, "Yeah. That could work!" Then there was this pause. And they started asking, "Wait a minute: Firemen don't already have that information? They just start at one end of the street?"
And then they got angry. Once they realized that there was life-saving information out there that wasn't being used, even though privacy could be protected, the moral dilemma collapsed, leaving in its place a situation clearly unacceptable, as if one had walked into a hospital with tuberculosis, only to be denied access to antibiotics.

Elements to consider before selling or buying Kone shares
Analysis N°1
In particular, the group's growth will be monitored in certain sectors of activity such as the Asian market or the Australian market, with increasingly strong demand from these areas.
As innovation is at the heart of this company's strategy, we will also keep an eye on the research and development operations carried out by the group and on the release of new technologies enabling it to stand out from the competition.
We will also keep an eye on the American market, which represents a major target of the Kone group and which has been experiencing a decline in this sector in recent years.
The competition will also have to be watched closely since Kone faces strong opponents despite relatively high barriers to entry.
Finally, Kone's business diversification strategy will also be closely monitored, which could enable it to find new customers or respond to new needs.

Sell Kone shares
General presentation of Kone
Let's take a look at Kone and its business to help you better understand its growth opportunities and threats. In order to do so, you need to know the group's activities and sources of income.
The Kone Group is an American company specialising in the lift sector and is one of the world's leading manufacturers of lifts, lifts and automatic doors. In addition to these main activities, the group also provides installation, modernisation and maintenance services for this equipment.
In order to better understand Kone's activities, they can be divided into different divisions according to the share of turnover they generate :
Equipment sales represent the bulk of the group's business and alone generate nearly 53.3% of the company's turnover, with sales of automatic doors, lifts, staircases and moving walkways in particular.
The remaining 46.7% of turnover was generated by the group's installation, modernisation and maintenance services.
Currently, the Kone Group operates more than 12 production sites around the world, including 6 in Europe, 3 in Asia and 3 in America. It also employs more than 59,825 people.
It is also interesting to know the geographical distribution of Kone's activities, with 40.5% of turnover generated in Europe-Middle East-Africa, 39% in Asia-Pacific and 20.5% in America.
The major competitors of Kone
Let's now find out who are the main competitors of the Kone Group in the market for lifts and automatic doors:
Schindler Holding
This German company is currently the world's largest producer of escalators and the second largest producer of lifts. It offers in particular sales but also installation and maintenance of all kinds of lift systems.
It is the leading Spanish manufacturer and maintainer of lifts, escalators and conveyor belts at the moment.
This German company, which has existed since 1999 and has several subsidiaries, offers activities in the steel industry, automotive components, lifts, my material, industrial solutions and marine systems.
The major partners of Kone
After the competitors, let's discover Kone's allies with two examples of recent strategic partnerships:
In 2019, the Kone group has notably joined forces with the American giant IBM in order to transform its operations and its technological capacities throughout the world. Kone's new 24/7 connected services use IoT platforms to deliver intelligent services to lifts and escalators.
Also in 2019, another interesting merger took place with an offer for Kone to take over the lift division of ThyssenKrupp AG. As this division was suffering from a lack of profitability, Kone offered €17 billion for its takeover. However, due to the Covid-19 crisis that followed in early 2020, this transaction has been postponed and no further action has been taken for the time being, which should be followed with interest.

What is the future of the Kone share price?
While it is still impossible to predict with certainty the future of the Kone share, i.e. its long-term evolution, we note that this share is benefiting from signals encouraging an increase in its price over the coming years. Indeed, certain events may support such a trend, such as strategic mergers or acquisitions, the development of more technological products or its entry into new, as yet little-exploited markets.
Is the fundamental analysis of the Kone Group indispensable?
If you are a trader with a medium to long-term investment strategy in Kone shares, you must of course systematically carry out a fundamental analysis of the stock to be able to detect signals of a rising or falling trend. However, you can also carry out a technical analysis of this stock alone if you use a very short-term strategy such as a day trading strategy.
Where to find the Kone shares online?
While you can buy Kone shares through certain investment products to add to your portfolio on the stock exchange, you can also do otherwise by trading the stock directly online from a trading platform. Such a trading platform allows you to speculate on the rise or fall in the price of a share using CFDs.
eToro is a multi-asset platform which offers both investing in stocks and cryptoassets, as well as trading CFDs.
