What the AMA's Racial Equity Plan Says About the State of Health Care
In May, the American Medical Association (AMA) unveiled an ambitious strategic plan designed to dismantle structural racism in health care. The nation's largest doctor's organization said that equity work requires recognition of past harms. The strategic plan was a critical examination of the institutional roles upholding these structures.
The healthcare industry has seen numerous forms of oppression for Black, Latinx, Indigenous, Asian and other people of color, as well as people who identify as LGBTQ+ and people with disabilities. The AMA plan is designed to achieve optimal health for all.
A Health Institution Confronts Institutional Racism
First, the AMA is starting by putting its own house in order. The Chicago-based staff is looking inward to expand capacity for understanding and implementing anti-racist equity strategies via its own practices, programming, policies and culture. A chief component of the plan is to create alliances that elevate the experience and ideas of historically excluded or marginalized healthcare leaders.
"When you have the nation's largest physician's organization attempting to take strides to correct historic wrongs, that makes a difference in policymaking, and also hopefully will make a difference in terms of improving the pipeline of African-American physicians into the field," said Dr. Eric E. Whitaker, CEO and founder of Zing Health.
Second, the AMA's plan will focus on social determinants of health, addressing the root causes of health inequities by giving physicians the knowledge and tools to dismantle structural and social drivers of living conditions and behaviors that lead to bad outcomes.
This racial equity plan basically admits that not everyone has been equal in the eyes of healthcare professionals, and it's time to recognize that everyone deserves the same care, regardless of their race, background or situation. The same is true with practitioners, who must clear the institutional hurdles of a healthcare career. The Chicago STEM education initiative CPASS is one piece of the puzzle in supporting minorities in medicine.
Equity Through Community Health and Innovation
Next, beyond its internal moves and social outreach, the AMA will examine closely its past efforts, looking at how policies and processes excluded, discriminated and harmed communities. The stories of historically overlooked physicians and patients have lessons for us all.
"Dr. Jim Madara, the AMA's current CEO, could have easily swept under the rug some of the organization's historic, systemic bias against African American doctors, but he took an in-depth look at the many ways that the organization has hindered progress for these physicians," Dr. Whitaker said. "Without committed leadership, you don't get results."
The AMA will strive to ensure equitable approaches and opportunities in innovation, including financial backing. The organization will embed and advance racial justice and health equity within existing efforts to advance digital health for all. The AMA's Health2047 subsidiary was an early Zing Health supporter and investor.
Finally, the recent meeting of the AMA House of Delegates demonstrated its strategic plan did not enjoy unanimous support. Similar to other societal efforts to acknowledge and address past racial stains, the AMA's plan faced resistance from a small pocket of physicians. In the end, the House of Delegates stood firm and passed a resolution supporting guidelines to address system racism in medicine.
Zing Health Wants to Earn the Trust of the Communities it Serves
Zing Health is dedicated to ensuring that minority communities receive exceptional care. As a minority-founded enterprise, we can be a positive force for healthcare equity and improve on the social determinants of health that many members of these communities deal with daily.
Individuals also want to improve their health. But sometimes they have less power to make improvements than it appears. Most seniors want to take care of themselves in a safe fashion, but options aren't always affordable or easily available.
Minority communities haven't always been treated equally in the past, and Zing Health is doing its part to change that. Medicare Advantage plans like Zing Health have the ability to reach beyond the doctor's office to provide wellness benefits to advance equity, from over-the counter drugs and fitness programs to reminders and social supports.
"My desire for Zing Health is to have it be a company that's trusted in all communities," Dr. Whitaker said. "That's earned slowly by being available at the community level and the grassroots level, where people can see us and our impact. Once you have trust, you can work collaboratively with our members to bring the various aspects of health that will improve outcomes to those populations."
The AMA's plan should be championed by the entire healthcare industry, and teaming with companies like Zing Health will go a long way in making the plan's goals a reality.

This script allows you to assign a custom battle BGM to troop objects. When a troop battle BGM is specified, that sound file will be played instead of the default battle BGM.
It also allows you to assign a custom victory theme (known as Battle End ME), allowing you to play that theme instead of the default one.
Followed by a "Change Battle BGM" or a "Play BGM" command.
The comment may appear anywhere on the first page, but the BGM command must appear after the comment.
Where filename is a valid sound file in your Audio/BGM folder.
Followed by a "Change Battle End ME" command or a "Play ME" command.
Where the `filename` is a file in the Audio/ME folder.
This is an awesome script, but is there a way to have it play a BGM instead of an ME on battle end, since ME can't loop? I can't find any scripts with that function and this one comes the closest.
Yes. The instructions above the ME section shows how to use a BGM.
Am I the only one getting a line 131 error?
Is the script installed below Materials?
HimeWorks, love the script, but it's not working for me at all. I'm using the script on the first page of the troop and I use "Change Battle BGM". When I test it out in-game, "Script, 'Game_Interpreter' line 1411: SyntaxError occured. unexpected '<' " shows up.
Also, how is the troop page supposed to look? The images aren't appearing.
I have updated the images.
You have likely used a script call instead of a comment. See the updated image for further guidance.
Oh my goodness, I'm such a derp!! I'm so sorry!
Wow Himeworks! Great moves! Keep it up, proud of you.
I wonder if if there's a way to have a troop system like mother 3.
I would love a troop system where only 4 are present, but if you kill on, one of the other 4 come to replace that position! I know I can replicate that using the conditions tab, but the switches would take alot of time just for 1 out of 999 troops and about 8 out of 5000 switches that in the end have the 5 all turned off! Would you like to script this in MV/RPGMAKERVXACE (If you still script that game)?
Could you remake this for MV? That would be awesome.
Hmm, so just playing different music depending on which troop you encounter. That can be done.
Is it possible to change the Victory ME as well?
Like, for a normal battle, I'd just want a typical Victory ME, but for a hard-fought win, or a hard-core boss battle, I'd like to use a more epic Victory ME (something along the lines of the finish song sequence from Guitar Hero III onward would be a great example of an epic Victory ME).
I'm assuming the Change Battle End ME event command is not a feasible option?
It is, but then it has to be changed back every event that it occurs (tedious).
Plus, the change battle end ME doesn't work for Troop Battle Test (and changing the System Data part back and forth is incredibly tedious).
My only thoughts were that if one half could be changed, why not both halves?
If I knew how to script, I'd try it myself.
I've updated the script to support battle end ME. Instructions have been updated.
I didn't do any save game, but you're right that I should check if it has to do with any compatibility issues. So I'll put it to another project and see if it works.
Did you save your game before trying it? Did you set the comment properly? Have you tried it in a new project to check if it's an incompatibility issue?
Sorry for the double posting and sorry for forgetting to click upon reply to your comment. I appologize in advance. I tested it out to a new project and it works like a charm.
I don't know why my other project has compatibility issues. Though I tested it with your (Enemy Level), (Disable Victory Music), (Gender Requirement) and (Feature Manager), which all those 4 worked like a charm without issues at all.
I wonder if it's not due to Victor Saint and Yanfly scripts that are giving troubles with compatibility, since I didn't get any error at all, but simply the BGM doesn't change at all.
In your new project add a new script one by one until you find the script that's causing the problem. I don't know what their scripts could be doing. You can try re-arranging the order of the scripts hoping that it will work as well. Battle systems scripts usually should come first since they usually replace a lot of default code.
First means the first script below materials. Last means the one right above Main.
I've done placing them in the right order. Tested it out one by one and I think to know the mistake I did. Instead of using battle bgm, I took troop bgm by mistake I think, which explained the issue I got.


You've racked your brain trying to think of a solution, and despite your brilliance, there is none. No way out. No hope.
"What are we gonna do?" you asked.
I didn't quit my faith. I stopped trying to figure out the solution.
I remember it so well. I was sitting at lunch with my family. We had just moved to Wilmington, and earlier that day we were enrolling our kids into their new schools when my cell phone rang. My sister's voice was on the other end with the unexpected. This was not in the moving plans.
Mom had fought Alzheimer's for seven years.
When the phone call ended, my mind started running a mile a minute trying to orchestrate the details. I knew I couldn't fly home in time to say goodbye, but how was I going to get my family to Oklahoma for her funeral when my husband just started a new job, the kids new schools? We were living in the Value Place with two cats that weren't supposed to be there! What was I going to do? How could this work out?
When I gave up trying to orchestrate the details..when I said, "I give up!" God could finally tell me His answer. It was a good one.
Brilliant. Strange. Who has a funeral on Sunday? But Brilliant.
How many times do I try to live by sight?
One of my favorite Bible stories is the story of Hagar in the desert.
Due to Sarah's demands, Abraham was forced to send Hagar and Ishmael away. He broken-heartedly sent them into the desert with only a skin of water and some food.
Eventually, the water was gone. It was hot. They were tired. Hagar couldn't watch her son suffer and die in the desert, so she sat him under a bush, and she sat nearby. She began to cry. She could not see any hope.
And the Bible says, "Then God opened her eyes and she saw a well of water. So she went and filled the skin with water and gave the boy a drink." (Genesis 21:19).
The Bible doesn't say that God magically put the well there or dug it quickly for her.
I believe her desperation blinded her to its presence.
What problem are you desperately trying to fix or find a solution?

The Final Edition of The News of the World
Today, the UK national newspaper News of the World, owned by Rupert Murdoch, printed its final issue. The best-selling tabloid, which began publishing in 1843, has been embroiled in a phone-hacking scandal since 2006, when Clive Goodman, the royal editor, was jailed for illegally intercepting the voicemails of the royal family. More recently, the paper was accused of hacking into the voicemails of the relatives of deceased British soldiers, victims of the 2005 London bombings, and teenage murder victim Milly Dowler. Disgraced and faced with public outrage in the UK, the paper announced last Thursday that today would mark its final issue. The last edition of News of the World includes a full page apology for the scandal, reading, "We praised high standards, we demanded high standards but, as we are now only too painfully aware, for a period of a few years up to 2006 some who worked for us, or in our name, fell shamefully short of those standards. Quite simply, we lost our way. Phones were hacked, and for that this newspaper is truly sorry." But don't worry. If you act now, you can send away for your free souvenir edition.

I've said it time and time again, and I will keep saying it until the world understands. The new Acura NSX is an incredible car, and even with its silly expensive price tag, it's a nothing less than a bargain hypercar.
YouTube, social media, blogs, magazine columns — many of them filled with words of disappointment, anger, and silly complaints about the Japanese sports car. And all of them wrong. Rookie and veteran journalists have picked on the NSX's advanced technology and dared called it "complicated," or not "magical" enough. Again, they're wrong. Why? Because they're making two huge mistakes. One, they're comparing it against the original NSX, which is basically impossible. Two, they aren't good enough drivers.
I know the latter could upset some egos, but it's the truth. I've personally had the chance to experience the NSX at speed, on a race track, and with a professional race car driver. It was mind-blowing. I would've never pushed the vehicle as hard as the driver did, which means my opinion of the NSX would've been very different. Keep in mind this is coming from someone who's raced everything from shifter karts to Challenge Stradales. I don't "take it easy" not he track.
Top Gear recently got a hold of the first sample to roll off the assembly line and handed it over to Chris Harris. As a result, Harris drove the heck out of it at Monticello Motor Club in New York, and created the following video review.
I won't go into details as his opinions are better watched than read, but I'm happy to see someone appreciate the NSX for what it is — a budget hypercar. A highly advanced machine that's capable of rocketing around racetracks with incredible ease and speed.
Enjoy the video, and I hope that you, too, appreciate the NSX for what it is.

As we all know, the Heart of the Swarm BETA is well under way. This means that release is surely not too far away. The Wings of Liberty BETA went for a relatively small duration of 5 months, and the Heart of the Swarm BETA has a lot less base-functionality to test (it was already tested in WoL).
So it's safe to say we're not far away from getting our hands on Heart of the Swarm, and there's no denying that recently there's been quite a lack in activity here on our website. That said, activity hasn't been too bad on Battle.net itself.
However, some changes are incoming which I think will improve things in general for Proxiteam, and hopefully bringing these changes in on the release of Heart of the Swarm will be a good opportunity to bolster some activity.
The changes I have in mind are:
No more applicant system
The applicant system is good in that it's a good way for a player to put their hand up and say "Hey! I'm interested! Keep your eye on me!"
But we've found over the past couple of years that what this can lead to is a lot of dudes just putting their name on the list and moving on, forgetting about us, hoping that maybe one day they will just end up on the roster without much effort. That's not what we're about, so we're going to go back to the old method of Proxiteam recruitment and that is - there is no recruitment strategy. We will go quietly about our business and eventually if someone has been hanging around the channel and seems like they've become part of our community and is actually interested in playing the game with (and for!) us, they will eventually find themselves on the roster.
Team Roster Clean-up
The roster is currently full of inactive players, or players who have defected to other factions. The roster will be purged come the beginning of HotS. Players who are active at the end of WoL/Beginning of HotS will remain on the list or be put back on the list very soon after the purge. I want the roster to be a lot more accurate than it has been in the past. No more exceptions for old members. If you're inactive, you're off the list. Activity will be judged by one simple rule. If you played less than 20 games in the previous season, you are off the roster.
Management Shuffle
I am going to start having some discussions with our players and community members regarding primarily the following:
What roles are required?
What roles do our members (if any) feel they might be able to fill?
In the past we've just sort of created the roles out of thin air and nominated (instructed) people to fill them. I want some input from as many people as possible as to what kind of management people we need, and if so, who would be the best for these roles provided that they actually want to fill them.
Deletion of Facebook Group in favour of Facebook Page
Groups just aren't as good as pages. And when we have both, our content is being split up, and we have members contributing a lot (like Kade) and their content is suitable for a public facing page but only reaching a few people. The Facebook page will allow us to reach a greater audience and concentrate our social presence in one location.
These changes are ones that I thought must be implemented at the turn of WoL to HotS if we want to freshen up and re-group for the next instalment and be the fun, active team we were in the beginning. Please express your comments if you disagree, and especially if you have input toward any of the questions I suggested.
Patchy October 30 2012 21:21Posts: 30
I agree with removing the applicants list as well. I think this could lead to making the site more open to the public, allowing proxiteam to function more like a community. As far as I remember, you could only become a member (to post in the forums and shit) if you were applying to join the team. Removing the applicant system should open the community up naturally!
Of course there would still be the team roster (visible to the public) but members could have their own section in the website for events such as clan wars or team exclusive events / news that the general public need not know about.
Maybe a streams section too?
PS: any way to change my gamer handle? I don't like Wharny anymore haha
scv ready
Patchy,
People have always been able to register with the site and not be on the applicants list or the roster. I'm not sure where that assumption came from. But either way, if you think these changes will help eliminate that assumption, that's good to hear.
I've changed your handle to Patchy now.
Oh really, my bad, I kinda assumed that anyway 'cause i only registered to apply for the team I guess.
A couple more points:
I think a twitter presence would be good.
Splitting up the team roster to different teams or divisions based on ability.
We do have a Twitter.
Do you see the left-hand navigation of the website? Look at the very bottom of it.
I was tweeting quite regularly from it for awhile, when we had clan war results to post and what-not. But with the recent inactivity I gave up.
We weren't getting a whole lot of interest with it anyway. If someone else wants the login details and wants to be in charge of our Twitter presence, I can organise it.

A roster clean-up now woud be great to see, that list seems useless right now.
Yeah, to be fair I deserve to be cleaned off of the roster, but I'll give myself the benefit of the doubt, as its a new game, and I plan on only playing sc2 and exercise until july, so hopefully my activity won't be nill. Discretion to the higher ups of course!

Idris Elba has confirmed the new season of Luther will remain the show we know and love.
The popular BBC crime series is returning for its fifth season next year, after last being broadcast in 2015.
Luther actor Idris Elba has revealed that the show will not be deviating from its "classic" form, but staying true to the original style that made it such a success in the first place.
However, Wilson herself did recently confirm the character's return earlier this year, so we can take a pretty good guess at what he's getting at.
Luther is expected to return in early 2019 on BBC One.
Idris Elba is set to return for a fifth series of Luther.
It's been two years since the fourth instalment of the series, but it was today confirmed by Digital Spy that Idris Elba would be returning to the role for a fifth outing.
Elba plays DCI John Luther in the acclaimed series, an extremely passionate police officer in a Serial Crime Unit. Elba has won a Critics' Choice Television Award, Golden Globe Award, NAACP Image Award, and Screen Actors Guild Award for his performance in the series, as well as being nominated for four Outstanding Lead Actor in a Miniseries or Movie Emmy Awards.
Meanwhile, BBC Drama Controller Piers Wenger has promised series five is "utterly heart-stopping and unmissable".
Executive Producer Hilary Salmon added that BBC Studios "will be pulling out all the stops to make the show bigger, bolder and of course more scary than ever".
It felt good to finally have Luther back on our screens last night.
Taking a leave of absence from the force in the last series, our leading man is now living in a house close to a literal cliff's edge, which he said was cheap, and was bringing him "closer to the edge everyday". Edgy.
The episode featured many flashbacks to previous episodes, which helped to remind us what had brought our brooding hero here, to a place so wilfully distanced from the rest of the world. Alice Morgan (Ruth Wilson), who so beguiled and entranced him, figured in the majority of these flashbacks. When he received confirmation of her death, he was devastated, as now their future together was never going to be.
Heroes are always haunted by personal tragedy, and even Luther cannot escape this 'universal truth'. The shot of him atop a skyscraper with the London skyline in front of him and a pulsating soundtrack in the background harked back to many a superhero's lonely and isolated stance in the world.
Much of last night's episode took place in Hackney Wick and Islington. The familiarity of this local drawn drama brought the action close to one's own doorstep for we London-dwelling viewers, which made it a refreshing change from the increasingly foreign imports on television.
In this new two-part series' opening episode there was a cannibal serial killer on the loose, hacking off body parts and eating them à la Hannibal Lecter. With Luther's colleague's untimely demise by explosion during the investigation, Luther returned to the force to take charge of the case. We were glad to see that Luther has not yet lost any of his volatile, unorthodox style as he forcibly bundled a suspect into the boot of his car.
Most notably, Luther's entry back to the force was an elegant triumph of directing and acting. No fuss no muss, just very beautifully done when he crossed the police blue tape back into the fold. Wordlessly and allegorically, Idris Elba performed the scene with great élan. I almost broke into a spontaneous applause at this point.
It was clearly the producers' intention that this opening episode should be like a Luther 'movie', giving them more time to develop and flesh out the storyline – hence two hours will be dedicated to this investigation with the second hour being shown next week. So far, it certainly does deserve the movie status that the producers were trying to create. The cinematography was excellent, with many wide angled expansive shots creating many beautiful moments, along with an excellent soundtrack adding depth of emotion in the telling of the story.
So bring out your popcorn and join us on the mean streets of Luther's London when episode two airs next Tuesday at 9:00pm on BBC One. If last night's episode is anything to go by, it's sure to be a good one.

Once the Military Consul for the Decepticon domain of Mebion, Magnificus was framed and convicted thanks to a crafty trap set by Decepticon command staff who were jealous of his position. He was ousted and sent to be a pit-fighting robot in a remote region of space. His partner Ga'mede was a member of the royal family of Xeptos, a planet existing a subatomic inner space, but just as he was to be executed over a family dispute, he was rescued into the macroverse thanks to Magnificus' matter-enlarging scope. The two were bonded almost immediately by implicit trust owing to their similar circumstances, and have crossed numerous battlefields and parts of the underworld together. Their travels have gained them a suitable stock of wealth and armaments, with which they carry out a campaign of heartless revenge on the traitors who brought Magnificus low.

Buckeyes Sign Dynamic Duo, Including U.S. Player of the Year
2019-20 Stats | 2019-20 Schedule | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram
COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Ohio State men's golf program added two elite recruits to their roster for the 2019-20 season in Maxwell Moldovan and Adam Wallin.
Maxwell Moldovan, a product of Uniontown, Ohio, has been the most dominant junior golfer in the country in 2019 and as a result was just recently named 2019 Rolex Junior Player of the Year by the AJGA, most prominent award in junior golf. The incoming freshman has won at every level he has competed, bursting onto the scene when won the 2017 OHSAA Division I Ohio State Tournament as a sophomore at Green High School while setting the 18 hole scoring record in the second and final round. He was also named an AJGA First Team All-American, becoming only the fourth Buckeye to earn the award (Brian Mogg 1978, Chris Smith 1988, and Ryan Armour 1993).
Moldovan followed up with 14 top-10 finishes across the junior circuits in 2018 including wins at the NOPGA Junior Series, Golfweek Junior Tour Championship, and PGA Junior Qualifier. He also secured his second state title, earning co-medalist honors with now teammate Jackson Chandler, to become the 19th player in Ohio history to win two OHSAA state titles.
The 2019 season proved to be his best yet as Moldovan rocketed to the top of the Polo Junior Golf Rankings, making him the best junior golfer in the country. The Ohio native captured both the Ohio Amateur and AJGA Polo Junior Golf Classic titles in route to six top-10 finishes in the last calendar year. Two of those top-10s came at the Junior PLAYERS Championship and U.S. Junior Amateur Championship. Following the U.S. Junior Amateur, Moldovan made it to the second round of match play in the U.S. Amateur played at the Pinehurst Resort and Country Club. With his outstanding performances, Moldovan was selected to play in the Wyndham Cup where he won all four of his matches and earned a spot on the U.S. Junior President's Cup team which will be played the week of the President's Cup at famed Royal Melbourne Golf Club in Australia.

— Ohio State Mens Golf (@OhioStateMGOLF) November 13, 2019
Ohio State's second signee, Adam Wallin, has had a great deal of success across the globe. The Swedish native is currently ranked inside the top-10 of the European Golf Rankings 18 and under division and has earned that status with six top-10 finishes across Europe in the last year.
The incoming freshman finished second at both the 2019 Junior Masters Invitational and Swedish Teen Tour Elite #6, while also bringing home a third-place finish at the Swedish Teen Tour Elite #4. Wallin showed his prowess on the course with top-5 finishes at the European Boys Team Championship in 2018 and 2019, a tournament in which over 15 countries across the continent send their best junior golfers to compete. He also has twice competed as a member of the Continent of Europe team for the Jacques Leglise Trophy, an elite junior match play event.
Welcome to the family, Adam Wallin! He is from Timmele, Sweden and is ranked inside the top-10 of the 18 & under European Golf Rankings. 🌰🖊#GoBucks pic.twitter.com/OFw5HYMwpq
"We are obviously thrilled to sign what we believe is the nation's top recruiting class," head coach Jay Moseley said. "Adam and Maxwell have earned significant recognition and awards as a result of their performances on the course in elite junior competition. By the time they arrive on campus they will both have multiple experiences in international team competition which is the highest level of junior golf- most of which is valuable match play competition. In addition to their world-class talent both Adam and Maxwell possess the character and leadership qualities to be exemplary ambassadors for our program."

John Angus MacDonald, lead guitarist of The Trews, joins the show to discuss the bands latest album Civilianaires.
Civilianaires is the start of a new book in the tales of the group, as it is the first release after their 2016 self curated greatest (at that time) hits album. It shows a strong push towards new elements and growth, with the band bringing in youthful energy and fresh collaborators. Civilianaires seems to be a natural evolution, one The Trews themselves feel was necessary, continuing to hold true to their strengths while finding new ways to build and compliment them.

There is, and I am so please that I'm not the only person to remember the date. I loved the Martha sequels, and really must revisit them soon.
I liked this book very much, because like you I liked the characters so much. And I loved the idea of the Wanted Women, I can easily see myself in that job! It has been a couple of years since I read this, though, and I don't remember how the story ends – so it may be time to re-read.
I think it was your review that inspired me to look for a copy of this one. I'm not sure I'd be suited to life as a Wanted Woman but I love the concept.
Very intriguing! I've learned to love Margery Sharp after being underwhelmed by my first few encounters and now will happily gobble up anything by her that I can get my hands on. Like any prolific author, her quality varies a bit but this certainly sounds like it has charm enough to make it worth reading. Thanks for a great review.
I think it does. It's a book for a day when you want to be gently entertained and don't mind not having much of a plot.
I have been wanting to pick up one of her books. but don't know where to begin? Suggestions?
Well, those are all available as kindle editions, so I'll just pick one and go!
it is interesting how the language of Harlequin House, which is mostly descriptive "telling" has fallen out of favor for more dialog and actions scene. Yet writing in this manner does serve it's purpose in telling a story that is both concise and full of details.
What a lovely sounding book. Margery Sharp is so good at creating, believable characters, and those quotes are already pulling me in. Another for the list.

The suggestion of a fully informative monetary instrument, as the one we have just described, usually produces immediate, important hesitations with respect to a fundamental question: won't the cheque-invoice be the sophisticated instrument of a new totalitarianism, of never before seen power and oppression by a State which now can know almost everything about its citizens? where will be the personal freedom and privacy, up to now based on anonymity, and very especially on monetary anonymity?
In this chapter we shall try to answer this objection.
In our opinion, the best way to solve this problem consists of appointing the justicial body as the only one in charge of guarding the all-documentary, total, archives of cheque-invoices.
when there is a Court sentence.
On the respect of professional secrecy, to which everybody has an obligation and a right, irrespective of their profession.
Justice then must be the only body to have a direct access to all the data supplied by the telematic monetary network: the right of access of the State and of private persons will be constitutionally limited to the data of an analytic-statistic type, without mentioning names nor identifying people.
All the equipments making up the telematic monetary network, both human teams and material equipments, will depend on Justice. In order to avoid possible manipulations or errors in the network, it is advisable that both the teams and the equipments will be set up threefold, but completely independent from each other, both with respect to machines and to programmes and people.
Now, with respect to Justice being the only warden of the network, and the only one to have a full access to it, does not mean that this right of access can be used indiscriminately. Law must foresee that Justice will only be allowed to use the information it keeps with respect to a specific case which is being investigated. If the examining magistrate has founded reasons for consulting the monetary instruments related to the case he is investigating, that judge, and only he, will be allowed to examine the related documents, and only these.
Justice and judges are, in principle, the most suitable for the noble mission of guarding the telematic-monetary archives, because of their training and vocation.
Now, in order to carry out this task in an effective manner, it is necessary for Justice to attain a full independence from the State. It is necessary to find the legal mechanisms to make this independence possible.
A good system would be the legislation of justicial budgets independent from the State budgets, worked out by Justice itself: economic autonomy could constitute a practical basis for the development of a real independence in everyday performances.
The disappearance of crimes and offences committed for money (paid for crimes): in fact, in a monetary system based on the cheque-invoice, the transfer of money from one current account to another necessarily implies the exchange of a well-defined merchandise, and this, of course, must be legal. Without merchandise there can be no cheque-invoice.
As far as the other crimes are concerned, illegal acts or responsibilities implying some monetary dimension, it is evident that this will be always perfectly documented.
As far as the possibility of issuing false cheque-invoices is concerned, it is quite possible, and even sure, that they will be made; but in the long run they will be found out by the monetary network itself, which will have the necessary mechanisms available to do so.
Finally, it is certain that human intelligence and cunning will invent a great number of new crimes of a monetary dimension, still to be discovered; but it is not now the time to discover them; when they will become apparent the most suitable solutions will be found.
1 . I.e.: a documentation established prior to the beginning of the investigation.
