White Swans target maximum points from remaining games
Nine points clear at the top of the table with six games to go, Albirex Niigata have vowed to land their second straight Great Eastern-Hyundai S.League title.
With their fate in their own hands, White Swans head coach Kazuaki Yoshinaga believes that their mission of retaining the crown is a straightforward task.
However, he also admitted that the chasing pack of Home United and Tampines Rovers are not giving them much breathing space.
Said the 49-year-old Japanese: "There is pressure from them, but we cannot do anything about their results and performances.
"We have to win our matches whether there is pressure. If we win our matches, we reach our target (of winning the league title)."
The Japanese resumed action last week following a 20-day break, beating bottom side Garena Young Lions 1-0 with 10 men.
Players' extra training among reasons for Albirex dominance
Gombak, Tanjong Pagar apply to rejoin S.League in 2019
DPMM release Kean and imports
Albirex hungry for more after defending S.League title
RUSTY ALBIREX
"We were a bit rusty against the Young Lions and we made the game difficult for ourselves," said Yoshinaga, whose team have lost only two games - to Hougang United and Home - this season.
"We made a few shifts to that side, like (Shuhei) Yamada taking over from our main goalkeeper (Yosuke) Nozawa and (Hiroyoshi) Kamata, who plays at right back, moved to the middle as a central midfielder.
"We want to be a stronger team and the players need to learn to be adaptable and flexible for any situation.
"The players will face dips in form. Blips are inevitable, but they will work hard to reduce the possibility of it happening. Rest assured, we will prepare well to win all the games."
Yoshinaga also singled out Albirex skipper Shuto Inaba as their key player whose performance can dictate how they fare in the final straight.
He said: "Inaba is a very important part of the team. He always puts the team first and plays with his heart.
"He is a strong defensive midfielder, but we have been developing his killer instinct." - JONATHAN LEE

Home » FARGO, JAMES C.
JAMES C. FARGO (1829-1915). James, the younger brother of American Express co-founder William, became a prominent figure in the railroad and express industries. He became president of American Express in 1881 upon his brother's retirement from that position.
JAMES C. FARGO. 1896, New York. A certificate for 500 shares of the Merchants Despatch Transportation Company signed "Jas. C. Fargo" once on the front as president and once on the back. The shares were issued to "Jas. C. Fargo Executor". Black on white paper with a fancy engraved border. Pen cancelled in pink ink, including one through the autograph on the front. Fargo's signature on verso is uncancelled. Receipt glued to the left side and in fine condition.

FARGO (1829 - 1915); Expressman. Working along with his older brother, William, co-founder of the American Express Co., James became a prominent figure in the railroad and express industries. He became president of American Express in 1881 upon his brother's retirement from that position. The Merchants Despatch Transportation Company was formed in 1857 to operate a fast freight system over what became the New York Central lines. It was immediately successful and proved profitable to its co-owners, the American Express Company and the New York Central Railroad. An important companion to an American Express Company stock. Pen cancelled at signature. Fine.

He became president of American Express in 1881 upon his brother's retirement from that position. Light punch and stamp cancellations not affecting Fargo's signature on verso. Very Fine.


"Hello Mark, I have a pricing topic you may or may not want to use in a blog. I recently returned from a weekend trip to Denver. I booked the flights using Travelocity, because the cheap Southwest airlines fares are were all gone. I flew United to Denver and returned on Frontier. Everything about the flights was fine (on-time, cleanliness, quality of service, etc.), with the exception of my online check-in with Frontier. They charged me $40 for a carry-on package that I was not aware of at the time I bought the ticket.
I was very mad for two reasons. I hate surprise charges and, right or wrong, I don't feel airlines should charge for carry-on luggage. I paid my $40 plus $15 fee to reserve a window. Note that I use the $15 early check-in with Southwest all the time, so this fee is acceptable in my mind. So here is the kicker. I get to the airport with time to spare, and I pull up my email confirmation that shows the total flight for the one-way fare. And it is $125, which I say to myself, "Oh that is reasonable," but I am still upset and will try my best to avoid Frontier when ever possible.
In this case, Frontier sold Stewart a very inexpensive ticket. Stewart believed that was his total price. (Obviously he hasn't flown no-frills airlines before.) He was surprised with an additional fee, which upset him.
Do we think Frontier is pricing well or not? Having a very low fare on Travelocity will obviously bring in business, so it seems good at first glance. Then, they have complements or add-ons they sell at good margins, which is also a good pricing move. These are things they may have learned in my pricing class, so I can't condemn them for it.
The downside is in Stewart's statement: "But I am still upset and will try my best to avoid Frontier whenever possible." I'd predict that if Stewart was really upset and never again flew Frontier, and if everyone is like Stewart, then Frontier is making a huge mistake. However, knowing my friend Stewart, he will fly Frontier again if it's cheapest. (You could tell he's frugal by the beginning of his story.) Maybe this first time he's upset. But if he buys from Frontier again, he will know what he's getting into and won't be so upset.
But let's say Stewart was mad enough to never fly Frontier again. Is everyone like Stewart? (I hope not.) The fact that Frontier has a loyalty program says that some people are repeat customers. Frontier has made a market-segmentation decision that they will market and sell to buyers who do not banish them forever for high-priced complements.
Here's a general business rule: Don't upset your customers.
Profound, huh? But a more nuanced version might be: Serve market segments you will not upset.
I know many people who fly the no-frills airlines. There is nothing wrong with that. I happen to be a frequent flier on American Airlines and am unhappy when I find myself on any airline except American. Most of my colleagues also have a favorite airline. Stewart's favorite airline is obviously Southwest. This is what segmentation is all about. Your key takeaway: Know your target market segment and serve them exceptionally well. You can't be everything to everybody.

Before The Light Rail
Before The Light Rail There was 126 Broadway E
*The third installment in my series "Before There Was Light Rail" coming to you a little late on account of being out of town yet again this past weekend. As with the others that came before, this is a brief look at one of the buildings that was torn down in 2009 to make way for the light rail station opening on March 19, 2016.
If my memory serves me correctly, this was one of the last two homes to remain standing along Broadway into the 21st century. However, the casual passerby might never have noticed it because for most of its life a brick and mortar commercial building (128 Broadway Ave E) stood between it and Broadway. This home was built around about 1904 and it should be noted to clarify any confusion that the address at this time was 126 Broadway North until it changed to East several decades later. It functioned primarily as a 15ish room boarding house (the count varied in classified ads, probably due to remodels), but also hosted a curious assortment of other operations throughout its life.
In fact, the first ad to run in the Seattle Times at 126 Broadway Ave N was in 1907 and it wasn't for a room to sleep in, it was for the Paris & New York Medical Electrolysis Institute whose cryptic-sounding "Parisian Regulator" supposedly cured "all female disorders." Fellow neighborhood historian Rob Ketcherside aptly pointed out to me that it was probably the same concept as a similar procedure that was being offered to men around this time. Dr. Sanden's "Electric Belt" (pictured below) had been available throughout the Puget Sound region since the 1890s. Anyway, the Parisian Regulator ad ran daily in the Seattle Times for a few months and was never seen again thereafter because apparently the Seattle Star newspaper sent two women to investigate and busted the head of the operation for practicing medicine without a license. Apparently, the operation had recently fled to 126 Broadway after receiving a plethora of complaints while practicing in an office downtown. (Thanks again Rob for breaking this story!
Now it was about a month before this bust took place that a room-for-rent ad first ran in the Seattle Times offering furnished rooms, breakfast, and a garden. However, the original owners, whose names remain unknown, unfortunately weren't long for this work because in 1909 they were forced to sell the house due to illness. Hereafter it seems to have changed hands a number of times with intermittent renters up until the 1920s. The 1910 census reports that at least five people were living here. A 22-year-old Railroad office stenographer named Ella Chamberlin, a 42-year-old unoccupied man named Patrick Flaherty, Clarence Collins a 24-year-old electrical engineer, Harold Falkner a 21-year-old clerk for a lumber company, and Joseph Fleming a 30-year old grocery salesman. Fleming in particular lived here for a year before renting a home and store front at the corner of Denny and Broadway to start a grocery business there.
The Fleming Era
In the early 1920s Fleming came back and purchased 126 Broadway Ave N outright and moved in with some of his brothers and rented out the remaining rooms to strangers. The Fleming brothers then reopened their grocery store at the new store front built in front of the house.
I'm guessing Joseph owned and lived in this house up until the mid to late 1960s by which point, three of his brothers had died, which might explain why he decided to move in with his grand nephew Gordon Fleming down in Tacoma who as a matter of fact just passed away last year.
During Joseph's roughly 40-year tenure as owner, the Seattle Times notes that in 1931 he and his brothers chased out a burglar one night. Otherwise, all reports at the address are about people who rented rooms at the house. Most often notices of births, deaths and marriages or classifieds by residents wishing to sell and trade items including car parts, a davenport, and a phonograph player with a sizable record collection. However, one resident named David Carson made headlines for his academic achievements.
Post-Fleming Era
After the Fleming era for the house ended, it once again hosted a couple different operations while people rented rooms. One of these was The Floating World, a Japanese antique and folk art gallery that opened up shop in December, 1979 and later moved to 715 Broadway E in 1981.
Backpacker's Hostel
By some point in 1990s a man named Roger Lebel turned the home into a hostel. The sparse amount of ads still floating around the internet indicate that it went by two names first the American Backpacker's Hostel and later Bigfoot Backpacker's Hostel. It offered 45 beds, some in private rooms, free breakfast, internet access, downtown pick up and tours to the grave sites of Bruce Lee and Kurt Cobain as well as Cobain's former home in Madrona. Unfortunately people who stayed here and the property owner would soon find that Lebel was not a man to be trusted. It was reported that Lebel tried to do "sleazy" things to some of the women who stayed there and by 1999 he shut down the operation and abandoned the house without notice to the property owner. Apparently, he was severely in debt.
After the bittersweet news of Lebel's sudden departure, an employee at Twice Sold Tales offered to rent the house along with some friends and so from that point forward the house was shared in common. Parties and shows happened on a regular basis. Residents frequently had to deal with weary travelers arriving at their doorstep because out-of-date hostel listings had misled them there. Occasionally the residents would let these travelers crash in the living room or at least give them a map and info on the nearest hostel.
Otherwise, the courtyard between 126 and 128 Broadway Ave E was the frequent late-night hang out for a nearly blind and deaf homeless alcoholic named Broadway Mike (pictured to the right). Mike was a (or perhaps still is?) a common fixture all around Broadway much like Slats was. The last residents of 126 say that Mike would sit out in the front court yard and rant loudly at all hours of the night. Residents tolerated his antics because he was otherwise harmless and kept other more sketchy individuals away from the house.
By late 2007, Sound Transit gave the residents their final notice to vacate and for over year the house sat vacant until it's demolition in 2009.

Q: Finding partial matches within an if statement Does anyone know how I can write an if statement that searches for partials in VBA? For example, if A2 and A3 both contain Jon, I would like the totals under the 2020 column to be summed, and then it would move down and check the values in A4 and A5. It should work the same way for Mary. But with ben, it should only total A6 because the cell underneath contains Chip. Then it should go down again and check the following two cells for a match. This is for a report that changes weekly, so the names will not always be the same. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

A: As Rno said, name uniques would become an issue, but for this small data set you can add another column of name values in column F and do a sumif formula on those separated names.
See Formulas Used Pic
In cell f2    =TRIM(RIGHT(A2,LEN(A2)-FIND("-",A2,1)))
In cell H2 =SUMIF($F:$F,$G2,B:B)

Q: java.sql.SQLException: Single-Sign-On is only supported on Windows. Please specify a user name I am using the jTDS driver in order to connect to an SQL Server database from my Android application, which uses the Windows Authentication. As advised in the FAQs, I read the READMESSO file and as told, I placed the native SPPI library (ntlmauth.dll) in the system path (defined by the PATH system variable)

However, when I try to connect to the database using the following code:
String driver = "net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver";
Class.forName(driver).newInstance();
String connString = "jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://192.168.56.1/MyMovies;";
Conncection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(connString);

I get the following exception:
java.sql.SQLException: Single-Sign-On is only supported on Windows. Please specify a user name.

A: Since you are connecting from an android device, you would not be able to get the SSO credentials required by the driver to connect to SQL server. The setting you referred to works only if the java program trying to connect to the DB is on a windows machine, which is clearly mentioned by the error message.
Unless your application has authorization based on the SSO user connecting to the DB, you should have an SQL Server user-based authentication mechanism to connect to the server and all authorization procedures should be tied to this user.

A: You might have to give the username also.

Q: cakephp associations conditions i have 3 model, with this relationships:
class A extends AppModel {
    public $belongsTo = array(
        "B" => array(
            'className' => 'B',
            'foreignKey' => 'b_id'
        )
    );
}

class B extends AppModel {
    public $belongsTo = array(
        "C" => array(
            'className' => 'C',
            'foreignKey' => 'c_id'
        )
    );
}

class C extends AppModel {
}

first, fetch model A records with this code:
$this->A->find('all', array('recursive'=>2));

when print query log, instead of two left join, this query was seen:
SELECT * FROM A LEFT JOIN B ON (A.b_id = B.id)

And for each result record, a query to get the C model information like this seen:
SELECT * FROM C WHERE id = ?

is there a way with a 2 join query to do that?

A: I've found when CakePHP does your find via multiple queries, you can force it to get all in a single query by using manual joins:
$this->A->find('all', array(
    'recursive' => -1,
    'joins' => array(
        array(
            'table' => 'b',
            'alias' => 'B',
            'type' => 'left',
            'conditions' => array('B.id = A.b_id'),
        ),
        array(
            'table' => 'c',
            'alias' => 'C',
            'type' => 'left',
            'conditions' => array('C.id = B.c_id'),
        ),
    ),
);

As a brand creates revenue and gains momentum on domestic marketplaces, executives may start to wonder if they should grow their brand internationally. Expanding to international marketplaces is complicated, can be overwhelming, but building a solid strategy before expanding internationally will streamline the process.
At Pattern, we've helped countless brands build their international strategy with our proprietary data, global marketplace experience, and local expertise in established and emerging regions.
Building an international strategy must be calculated and methodical, and here are five considerations at the core of going global:
1. Distribution by Country/Region
First, it should be no surprise that the methods and strategies companies use to transport products from the distribution centers to customers can vary by country or region. Handling order fulfillments may look different from shipping and packaging options, to delivery and transportation. Although the basic steps of global distribution may remain the same, the nuances of regional distribution may vary.
If your brand already has a high-level distribution strategy in place in the areas you are currently selling, then it's possible to modify and use it to go global.
2. Consumer Demand
Before expanding to a specific country, marketplace, or entire region (across multiple marketplaces), it's important you thoroughly research and understand the consumer demand for your product. Do you have data to show that your expansion market(s) has a need for your product?
Beyond product-market fit, additional parts of consumer demand analysis include: consumer behavior, awareness of differences in cultural norms, and the beliefs and values of international buyers. Having access to data-driven insights and analysis on traffic and conversion, like Pattern's reporting, is key to understand consumer demand in certain regions.
3. Product Registration and Regulatory
Countries around the world set up regulations and processes to protect their consumers from any hazardous imports. Because of that, it only makes sense that these countries may have different product registration requirements and standards. Before expanding to new regions, a brand should make sure their products are registered with the appropriate government institutions and follow all production best practices to prevent any roadblocks.
At Pattern, our regional experts have the resources to manage marketplace setup and understand administrative requirements necessary to help scale global growth for your brand.
4. Localized Pricing
When it comes to localized pricing, international ecommerce retailers should keep in mind two things–currency conversion and customer perception of price. As brands look to expand internationally, thorough research should be done to understand the currency conversions at each stage of the product life cycle in order to figure out the optimal localized pricing, while still retaining a net profit.
Remember, because of cultural differences, final pricing may be perceived differently by customers on international marketplaces. For example, in the western countries, it's common for prices to end in a 9, but in other countries, it may be best to use a round number instead. High market saturation of certain products may also affect consumers' perception of pricing, making them more likely to pay a higher price for the product than in a low-saturation market.
5. Localized Labeling
Different countries and regions may have unique requirements for product labeling. Awareness and understanding of these requirements is key to a successful international strategy. For example, labeling may need to be in a certain language, and some countries may require brands to include certain product information.
Your domestic team may not be equipped to handle all translations and regulatory conversations, so having the resources in place before attempting to expand globally will help prepare you for expansion. As a global ecommerce partner, Pattern has a team of regional experts and end-to-end resources to ease the pain of complying with local product labeling requirements.

Role of Genetic Testing in the Management of Aortic Disease
More than five percent of Americans over the age of 60 have aortic aneurysms. While aneurysms do not directly cause death, complications such as dissection or rupture account for more than 15,000 deaths each year. Consequently, aortic aneurysms constitute the 14th leading cause of death in the United States. Smoking cessation interventions and cholesterol medications have decreased the incidence of aortic aneurysms. Yet, the aging population, coupled with the global burden and heritable nature of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), has created a demand for additional treatment and prevention strategies.
Cardiovascular genetics is an emerging subspecialty within cardiovascular medicine that has elucidated the genetic basis of multiple cardiac conditions, including arrhythmias, cardiomyopathies, lipid disorders, and vascular diseases. 2 Clinical genome sequencing and genetic testing can facilitate the diagnosis of heritable CVDs, identification of at-risk asymptomatic family members, and prenatal decision-making.
Medical and surgical experts at the USC Comprehensive Aortic Center collaborate in planning treatment and follow care for patients with complex aortic diseases. The following case study highlights the importance of interdisciplinary techniques, like genetic testing, in the clinical setting.
Case Study: Genetic Testing Indicated for Patient with Family History of Aortopathies
Dr. Sukgu Han and Dr. Fernando Fleischman
For over six years, cardiac surgeon Dr. Fernando Fleischman, and vascular surgeon Dr. Sukgu Han, have collaborated on the case of a 59-year-old man who initially presented with complicated type B aortic dissection and lower leg perfusion syndrome. This patient has an extensive surgical history at Keck Medicine of USC, beginning in April 2016. His first operation, a right to left femoral-femoral bypass, was emergent to return flow to his legs. In May 2016, he underwent a thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) to fix his Type B dissection. Yet, despite the initial TEVAR, the patient's aorta continued to expand, requiring a second TEVAR In October 2016 and a third in April 2021.
Given the patient's significant maternal family history of aortic aneurysm and dissections, genetic testing was indicated. Inherited connective tissue disorders, such as Marfan syndrome (MFS), Loeys-Dietz syndrome (LDS), and Vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (VEDS), are known to weaken aortic walls, increasing the risk of aortic aneurysm and, to a lesser extent, cerebral aneurysm. Therefore, the care team ordered a comprehensive aortopathy panel analyzing 35 genes associated with Familial Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms and Dissections (FTAAD), MFS, LOS, and VEDS. Although the clinical sensitivity of the ordered test for FTAAD is only 30-40%, the sensitivity is relatively high for MFS (93%), LOS (80-90%), and (>95%), demonstrating its reliability as a diagnostic tool.
In conjunction with clinical evaluation, genetic testing ruled out connective tissue disorders and any known FTAAD genes. Genetic testing also identified c.188C>A, a variant of unknown significance (VUS), in the TGFB3 gene, which is implicated in LDS and non-syndromic aortic aneurysms and dissections. A VUS may be benign, or it may cause disease; thus, despite the lack of information regarding the role of tl1e c.188C>A variant in CVDs, widespread genetic testing may provide alternative findings.
In addition to regular aortic surveillance, genetic testing may soon become the standard of care for aortic a11eurysrns. Because this patient has a significant family history of aortic aneurysm, the care team cannot rule out a genetic cause. For that reason, genetic testing should be repeated in the future as more TGFB3 variants become identified. Furthermore, because no one in the patient's family has had genetic testing, first-degree relatives should consider baseline screening for aortic pathologies by their primary care physicians.

"Utilite" has single- to quad-core Cortex-A9 chip and up to 512GB flash storage.
A new ARM-based Linux PC with a host of capabilities—including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, two Gigabit Ethernet jacks, and five USB ports—goes on sale next month starting at $99.
"Utilite," offered by Israeli company CompuLab, won't be as cheap as a Raspberry Pi, but the specs justify the cost. With dimensions of 5.3" × 3.9" × 0.8", Utilite comes with a Freescale i.MX6 system-on-chip with a single-, dual-, or quad-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor (which uses 3-8 watts of power). It will have up to 4GB of DDR3 1066MHz memory, up to 512GB of SSD storage, and a microSD slot allowing another 128GB.
The PC can be purchased with either Ubuntu Linux or Android.
Enlarge / Ports on the back.
CompuLab says it envisions Utilite being used for applications such as a "media player, IPTV, infotainment system, digital signage, thin client, and [as a] small-footprint desktop replacement."
CompuLab and its resellers will start accepting orders for the little computer in August. Full pricing wasn't announced, with CompuLab saying only that "Utilite will be offered in several configurations starting from $99."
Utilite is a follow-up to CompuLab's previous PC, the Nvidia Tegra 2-based Trim-Slice. That computer ranges in price from $213 to $338.
So would this be able to run anything that the raspberry pi could since they are both ARM chips?
The RPi is based on a slightly weird ARM11 core(ARMv6 architecture; but with hard FPU), which is an older version of the instruction set than in the Cortex-A9. So, this board should be able to run anything the RPi can; but the reverse will not necessarily be true.
Does anybody know anything about the "88MW8787" device, on the SDIO interface, that is providing 802.11N and BT?
Both the wired ethernet chips(the discrete intel and the Aetheros PHY) come up just fine; but a grand total of three hits for the wireless device, all mentions of this hardware no less.

Optical satellite data shed light on airborne Covid transmission
US team led by Nobel laureate used aerosol data to conclude that face coverings are effective at reducing infections significantly.
Aerosol optical depth data over China
Scientists in the US have used multispectral satellite data to identify airborne virus transmission as the dominant route for the spread of Covid-19.
Writing in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), Nobel laureate Mario Molina and colleagues reported that their analysis - which combines optical aerosol depth measurements with local infection rates and mitigation measures - showed that airborne contagion had dominated the spread of Covid-19.
Their paper suggest that the results have major implications for mitigating the spread of the virus, and that governments and public health authorities ought to be more focused on airborne transmission over a relatively long range.
"Our analysis reveals that the difference with and without mandated face covering represents the determinant in shaping the trends of the pandemic," claims the team, which looked at the spread of Covid-19 in three locations - Wuhan, Rome, and New York City.
"This protective measure significantly reduces the number of infections," they added. "Other mitigation measures, such as social distancing implemented in the US, are insufficient by themselves in protecting the public."
Ozone expert
Atmospheric chemistry professor Molina, who works at the University of California, San Diego, won a share of the 1995 Nobel prize in chemistry for work showing that chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) compounds were a major threat to the ozone layer.
In their new PNAS paper, Molina and colleagues incorporated data collected in the green part of the spectrum by NASA's combined Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and the Tropospheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI).
Launched on board the Terra satellite back in 1999, MODIS captures data across 36 spectral channels between 400 nm and 14.4 µm wavelengths. TROPOMI, launched by the European Space Agency (ESA) on the Sentinel-5P satellite in 2017, operates over a shorter wavelength span, but is also able to monitor aerosol levels.
That aerosol data indicates the level of regional pollution in different locations. In the Molina-led study it showed that the initial outbreak of Covid-19 in Wuhan coincided with the local "winter haze season", and characteristically high levels of tiny "PM2.5" particulates that can both seed droplet (aerosol) formation and travel deep into the human lung.
And although more work to determine the viral "load" that such aerosols can carry is needed, as well as how exactly they disperse in the atmosphere, the study indicates that outdoor transmission of Covid-19 is likely exacerbated by air pollution.
"The airborne transmission pathways (indoor or outdoor), as well as the effects of ambient PM2.5 levels on virus transmission, may be variable among urban cities," reported Molina and colleagues.
"For example, the winter haze conditions in China likely exacerbated outdoor virus spreading, because of low ultraviolet radiation, air stagnation (lacking ventilation on the city scale), and low temperature."
Airborne transmission 'highly virulent'
In contrast, the level of aerosol air pollution in Rome and New York City was shown to be much lower than in Wuhan, with implications for the transmission of the virus and how it could best be mitigated.
But the authors suggest that, whatever the pollution levels, their work indicates that face masks provide one of the best and cheapest ways to reduce viral transmission through the air.
While concerns about transferring virus particles when putting on or removing a mask have persisted, if airborne transmission is - as the PNAS paper suggests - the dominant transmission route, those fears may be less significant than was previously thought.
"The inadequate knowledge on virus transmission has inevitably hindered development of effective mitigation policies and resulted in unstoppable propagation of the Covid-19 pandemic," concludes the team.
"In this work, we show that airborne transmission, particularly via nascent aerosols from human atomization, is highly virulent and represents the dominant route for the transmission of this disease.
"Face covering prevents both airborne transmission by blocking atomization and inhalation of virus-bearing aerosols and contact transmission by blocking viral shedding of droplets.
"On the other hand, social distancing, quarantine, and isolation, in conjunction with hand sanitizing, minimize contact (direct and indirect) transmission but do not protect against airborne transmission."

Azealia Banks Takes Break from Twitter for Lent
Courtesy of thehundreds.com
Azealia Banks will follow in Iggy Azalea's footsteps, and take a break from Twitter. Although the two rappers have feuded in the past, it looks like they have found something to agree on. "I missed the beginning of Lent but better late than never. I'm going off tweets until April 2nd!! My management will tweet AB news," Banks tweeted. The rapper also said she is going on a Twitter hiatus, in order to give her mind a break. Banks won't be taking a complete break from social media, because she will remain active on Instagram. A large portion of Banks' time on Twitter is spent feuding with other entertainers, and she recently tried to bait Erykah Badu into one of her online tirades.
Last month, a fan asked Badu, on social media, if she listens to Banks' music. The R&B singer responded that she tried to listen to it, and that comment didn't sit well with the rapper. Banks believed Badu was being disrespectful, and so the rapper sent out several tweets criticizing the R&B singer. One of the rapper's tweets claimed that Badu was old and jealous because Banks is young and successful. "When artists grow old and begin to recognize their own mortality they throw shade at younger spirits. We see it happen all the time," Banks wrote. Badu finally decided to respond to Banks' "too old" tweet. "Well shit I did try. Maybe you're right..I'm just to [sic] old to get it. You cool tho," Badu asked the rapper.
Banks must have realized that Badu was not going to go back and forth with her, and so Banks said she was cool, and she moved on. If only Iggy Azalea, T.I., Action Bronson, and Kid Cudi possessed the restraint Badu had, maybe they wouldn't be on the list of people who have feuded with Banks on Twitter. Besides online controversy, the rapper also announced a few dates for her upcoming tour. She will perform at the Coachella Festival on April 10th, 16th, and 17th. Banks will also perform at the Irving Plaza in New York on May 11th, and the Concord Music Hall in Chicago on May 15th. On May 19th, the rapper will travel to Boston for a show at Paradise Club.

Psychopathic Serial Killers – Ian Brady
Written by admin in Evil,Psychopathy,Violence
One of history's most notorious and blatantly evil psychopathic serial killers is the Scottish born Ian Brady (1938-2017), murderer of five young children on the Moors of northern England in the 1960s, along with his accomplice Myra Hindley (1942-2002).
The crimes they committed were horrific and are still shocking to read about today. Hindley and Brady lured young children into their car and then took them to their house or up on the Moors, sexually assaulting and killing them before burying them there. Some of their behavior was sickeningly evil and made them hate figures in the public up until their death.
Unlike most psychopaths, with Ian Brady there has never been any facade of normalcy or mask of sanity. He never showed any remorse for the killings he committed nor the damage and pain they caused in the lives of the victim's families and was engaged in ongoing legal battles with authorities about his treatment right up until his death in May 2017, seeing himself as the one being wronged.
He never had the faintest understand he had done anything wrong, seeing the killings as an "existential exercise". This is a more extreme example of the empathy failure all psychopaths are known for, though few go as far as Brady did in the acts of evil. He stands almost alone amongst even serial killers in the evil of the acts he committed and the brazenness with which he admitted to and refused to apologize for them.
Brady displayed many classic psychopathic traits which we will go into in this article, but the most prominent one is the extreme need for control over his environment and over others, which seemed to dominate his life. A lack of empathy was also clearly apparent, as well as denial, dishonesty and the relentless projection of blame onto others. Let's look at some of these traits in more detail.

Ian Brady eventually died in May 2017
Brady's Pure Evil and Psychopathy
The psychopathic traits of Ian Brady were so obviously extreme that the term "evil" is most often used to describe him. There can be no other way to describe the things he did to vulnerable children, and his complete lack of remorse for his actions right up until his death. He was surely one of the most evil people who has ever existed.
His killings revealed a deep cruelty and sadism to his character, with nothing seemingly off limits to him in terms of what he would do for his "existential exercise". His sadism is what gave him pleasure in the fear and terror he induced in his young victims, as well as his extreme need for control over others.
He even went as far as recording audio tapes of one of his killings, and kept "trophies" of the killings in terms of personal possessions of the victims as is common with psychopathic killers. He frequently returned to the burial sites of his victims with Myra Hindley to cement his sense of control over them.
All of these behaviors reveals a deep sickness and abnormality which defined Brady's character, going beyond even what most other psychopathic killers are capable of. To do what he did shows a complete lack of empathy for his victims and this added to the lack of remorse makes the diagnosis of psychopathy as easy as it will ever be for someone.
Psychopathy as Incurable
Ian Brady gave the best possible demonstration of the fundamentally incurable nature of psychopathy in his life in various prisons and mental hospitals. He refused to show any remorse for his actions until his death and psychologist Jeremey Coid, who interviewed Brady in 2003, summed up the brutal approach he had as such:
"When I interviewed him, he was absolutely adamant that he had no remorse whatsoever, and he told me everyone would wait til doomsday before he would express any remorse for what he had done"
Jeremy Coid
This is typical of psychopathy and reveals a very deep psychological sickness inside Brady which no amount of treatment could ever hope to cure. Psychopaths are simply not wired the same way as normal, feeling people and have the crucial emotional failsafes missing that most people have, such as empathy, compassion, remorse and so on.
Moreover, Brady was a cast iron example of the fact that attempts to punish a psychopath into changing are bound to failure. He was engaged in legal battles throughout his incarcerated life over his treatment, mainly around his belief that he should be allowed to die.
Judges and authorities refused him this request, the implicit message being that he should face prison for his entire natural life for the crimes he committed and not be allowed to take what was seen as "the easy way out" by allowing himself to die.
Authorities hid behind the judgement that he was not mentally fit to make a decision on whether to end his life by himself, and thus justified a decision to continue to keep force feeding him against his will. This so called "hunger strike" was later exposed to be a charade, but is symptomatic of the power games psychopaths like to play with anyone who tries to control them.
Obsession With Control
One factor that stands out in Brady's character, both in the documentary above and in other accounts of his life, is an obsessive and extreme desire for control that is symptomatic of all psychopaths. Seemngly everything Brady did appeared to revolve around control of those around him.
Time and again, those who have interacted with him since his incarceration, including the numerous psychiatrists who assessed him, have all confirmed that control is a crucial factor in Brady's personality. All interviews with him are battles of will and control. He is trying to manipulate anyone he comes into contact with for his own ends.
This desire for control in the psychopath essentially derives from a lack of control and order within their psyche. Their attempts to control the outside world of people and things is a consequence of the lack of control they have psychologically inside themselves. Their internal world feels a mess so they try to control the external world as a kind of compensation.
The more extreme the internal pathology, the more extreme the need for control over the outer world, and so this is the way it played out with Brady. The depth of his mental sickness determined the depth to which he tried to control others.
He controlled Hindley with his poisonous ideologies of Hitler and others, he controlled his victims before he killed them, and he also controlled them afterwards by revisiting their burial sites and taking sick photos of him doing this with Hindley.
His control also extended right up until his death in his refusal to reveal the burial site of Keith Bennett, the only one of his five known victims whose remains were never found. Despite multiple appeals and pleas from Bennett's mother and others, he would never reveal the burial place and this is another aspect of maintaining some sense of control over the situation to shore up his own disordered psyche.
He did at one point visit the Moors, ostensibly in an attempt to help police locate the body, but the account of the incident is interesting and possibly hints at more games being played by Brady. He is said to have moved purposefully in a certain direction, before then claiming to be disorientated by changes in the landscape. The body was never found. See the embedded documentary for an account of this incident.
Psychiatrist Professor Malcolm MacCulloch offers an interesting possible interpretation of this event in the sense of another game being played, with Brady again perhaps secretly finding but withholding the location for his own entertainment and sense of control:
"It's just possible that Ian Brady was on the Moor, and checked the site, without letting on as it were. Final control is the possession of the body. 'I know, you don't know, you want to know, and I'm not gonna tell you'"
This sounds like an of an extreme interpretation for a normal person but is totally possible for a psychopath, given the extreme need for control and the malevolence of Brady. Unfortunately we will now never know since Brady died in 2017 and Bennett's body has never been found.
Brady also wrote a letter to Keith Bennett's mother – covered in the above documentary – but instructed it only be opened after his death. The contents were unknown but may possibly have been the burial site of Bennett.
Bennett's mother sadly died in 2012 without finding her son's body but again this was about control and a power play by Brady. He was quite possibly playing on the fact that authorities were not allowing him to die, and so in response he was saying "If you're not going to allow me to die, I'm not going to tell you where Keith is buried".
In that sense, by trying to control Brady in terms of not allowing him to starve himself, they were playing into his hands and allowing him to hold power over Bennett's mother. Would it have been a better approach to allow Brady to die earlier, which would have then possibly allowed Winnie Bennett to open the letter and possibly find her son?
We will never know, and the letter itself may have been a hoax and contained no information about his resting place. Such is the problem dealing with psychopaths; you cannot easily separate fact from fiction and lies from honesty. They are constantly trying to manipulate situations and people for their own ends. Their staying in control comes before anything else.
There is something basically missing in psychopaths that makes them not completely human emotionally and this was never more obvious than in Brady.
Incomprehensible
There is basically something incomprehensible normal, feeling people find about the extreme serial killers we see like Brady. There is a level of evil and inhumanness there that we cannot relate to. Psychiatrist Jeremy Coid summed up this fundamental, incurable sickness in Brady as follows:
"This is someone who has had grossly abnormal personality traits – sadism, intermittent mental illness, but most of all the psychopathic personality. And this has been present since childhood. throughout his adolescence, has continued, and although he's older, the same features of his abnormal personality are as live today as they were right back at the beginning"
Professor Jeremy Coid, psychiatrist
This emphasizes that despite his convictions, the public hatred and vilification, pleas to humanity from the victim's families, and assessment by numerous psychologists, he has remained completely unrepentant and unremorseful for the evil crimes he committed. He never thought he did anything wrong, right up until his death.
This touches upon the issue of psychopathy as coming from a sense of moral deviancy and being an act of wilfull evil and destructiveness. We have touched on this in our article on whether psychopaths can be cured.
The Ian Brady's of the world are actively directing their will towards being the sadistic psychopaths they are, and actively resisting any efforts to change or reform them. Any attempts to do so make them all the more determined to be the way they are, and any attempts to control them only provoke them to take action to reestablish some sense of psychological control.
There is no hope of ever reaching these people; we can only hope that research into psychopathy can spot these characters earlier, before they can commit so much evil in the world and destroy the lives of others.

For a full account of sanctuary in the fifteenth- and sixteenth-century England with all the usual footnotes and bibliography, see my book, Seeking Sanctuary: Crime, Mercy, and Politics in English Courts, 1400-1550 (Oxford University Press, 2017). This website features some 400 or so sanctuary seekers; for a full spreadsheet of all 1800+ sanctuary seekers I've identified in the surviving records (with graphs, etc), click here.
Below is a short "explainer" of the basic outline of the workings of sanctuary in England between the 1390s and the 1550s.
Though the general idea of sacred spaces as sites of refuge for accused wrongdoers went back thousands of years, Christian sanctuary developed through the medieval and early modern periods in ways specific to local situations in different parts of Europe and Latin America. In late medieval and early Tudor England, sanctuary had become part of the kingdom's justice system, as one of several options available to a person fleeing from law enforcement, creditors, or political adversaries. By the fifteenth century, sanctuary in England had developed two main forms under the kingdom's common law – sanctuary in a parish church followed by "abjuration of the realm"; and time-unlimited refuge in a "chartered sanctuary."
Sanctuary and abjuration of the realm
The first, often now called abjuration after its final stage, and usually known in contemporary legal records as "taking church," had roots in the early medieval period and solidified in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, at the same time as the law of felony was being established in the kingdom. Accused criminals could take refuge in any parish church, but such refuge was limited in time, usually to forty days. By the end of the forty days, the accused criminal had either to surrender to the king's justice, or to abjure (literally, to "swear off" or foreswear) the realm, that is, to go into exile forever. Although abjuration was very common in the thirteenth and early fourteenth century, use of this escape from execution declined significantly in the second half of the 1300s. This was not a permanent downturn, however, as this type of sanctuary privilege saw a half-century resurgence in the later fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. In response to this increase, several statutes between 1529 and 1536 changed the basis of abjuration, so that abjurers no longer went into exile but instead proceeded to the second form of legal asylum, chartered sanctuaries.
Chartered Sanctuary
The chartered sanctuary developed in England around 1400, and by the end of the fifteenth century it had become important legally and politically. This was an asylum unlimited in time, but only available in the precincts of a limited number of religious houses in the realm. This form of sanctuary developed when the ancient idea of churches as shelters for wrongdoers assimilated with the jurisdictional rights held by certain monasteries and cathedrals, rights which those institutions held by virtue of royal charters (hence "chartered" sanctuaries). Important for the development of permanent sanctuary was the inclusion amongst those jurisdictional rights of the ability to shelter debtors from their creditors, who could have them arrested and imprisoned for non-payment. In the late fourteenth century, Westminster Abbey began not only to welcome debtors in its precinct, but also to offer refuge to felons fleeing arrest for their crimes. This asylum was, of course, similar to that offered in any parish church, but instead of being required to leave or abjure after forty days, the felons were permitted to stay indefinitely, just as the debtors could. In the decades following 1400, some other ecclesiastical institutions – principally Beaulieu Abbey in Sussex; the collegiate church of St. John in Beverley, Yorkshire; the collegiate church of St. Martin le Grand in London; and Durham cathedral – followed suit in claiming this privilege. Confusions about the distinction between the privilege of sanctuary and jurisdictional independence meant that increasingly the secular properties of great ecclesiastical institutions – manors belonging to Westminster Abbey, for instance, or houses and properties owned by the Hospitaller Order – began also to serve as refuges for felons, too, although this was controversial and contested.
Sanctuary and royal justice
An important strain of late medieval English rhetoric about sanctuary emphasized the church's partnership with the king in providing mercy to those facing the harsh justice of the courts, which ordinarily hanged anyone found guilty of felony, even small-scale theft or unintentional killing. This mercy was explicitly tied to the Christian idea of forgiveness of sins: it is important to recognize that in general medieval sanctuaries were not for the innocent and unjustly accused but instead for the guilty. Those who entered a sanctuary had to confess, in some detail, about the wrongs they had committed. Although sometimes historians have painted sanctuary as contrary to "law and order" (and, indeed, there is no doubt that it allowed some criminals literally to get away with murder), the development of this legal mechanism in the fifteenth century received the support not only of all the kings of the era but also of most lawyers and judges. The royal prerogative of mercy – exhibited through grants of pardons and support for sanctuaries – was an essential demonstration of the king's power and magnanimity, as Krista Kesselring has argued (see below). And although there were obviously differences of opinion, most lawyers, judges, and politicians recognized that sanctuaries and other mitigations tempered the otherwise draconian capital penalties of English common law. By the end of the fifteenth century, sanctuary in both types (abjuration and chartered sanctuaries) was seen in legal writing as simply part of the common law, rather than as a process that circumvented the law.
Claiming sanctuary
As the concept of permanent chartered sanctuary established itself in the early fifteenth century, a procedure developed to claim status as a "sanctuary man" or "sanctuary woman." Asylum seekers presented themselves to the administrator of the sanctuary, confessed their felony or other reason for requesting asylum, and swore to keep peace and faithfully observe all curfews, rules, and regulations. Once granted sanctuary, seekers could remain inside the boundaries of the sanctuary precinct as long as they liked, provided they met the requirements for the privilege. They were immune from arrest by royal, civic, or ecclesiastical officials. The seekers' names and reasons for seeking sanctuary were recorded by the precinct's administrator in a register or other document; unfortunately, only two such records survive, a sanctuary register for St. John's Minster in Beverley, Yorkshire, and records for sanctuary claims included in the general register for the Durham Cathedral priory.
Although there was no time limit on the refuge these chartered sanctuaries offered to sanctuary seekers, once they had entered a chartered sanctuary, the sanctuary men and women had to remain strictly within the geographical bounds of the precinct, or they were liable to be seized by arresting officials, political opponents, or creditors. They were thus obliged to find a place to live (leasing or sub-leasing a room or tenement within the ecclesiastical precinct), and a way to support themselves while in sanctuary. Paid work and other economic opportunities within the precincts was scarce, and not surprisingly, for some the financial challenges of extended periods of time in the chartered sanctuaries were daunting. Some sanctuary seekers, supported by outside resources, stayed in sanctuaries for decades, but many others for only a matter of days, having escaped immediate arrest for their crimes and then likely running off in the night after the pursuit had cooled.
This new form of permanent or chartered sanctuary developing around 1400 was, as far as the records tell us, relatively little used by felons through the first half of the fifteenth century. Similarly, as above, the much more long-standing practice of abjuration also fell off dramatically in the decades following the Black Death in the mid-fourteenth century. Both kinds of sanctuary, however, became more common again in the second half of the fifteenth century, especially the last two decades. As the evidence for sanctuary seeking between 1400 and 1550 shows, the development of the chartered sanctuaries allowed the general idea of sanctuary to adapt successfully to the shifting legal and political landscape in England in the later fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. Sanctuary thrived and indeed grew under the early Tudor regime – that is, it flourished until abruptly, within less than a decade, it virtually ceased. The records show a distinct decline in resort to sanctuary in the last half of the 1530s, and after 1540, it falls to a trickle. The dissolution of the monasteries as part of the English Reformation, which was accompanied by a tightening of jurisdictional privileges of other ecclesiastical bodies, effectively spelled the end of this form of mitigation.

I became a member of the Raleigh Boys Club when I was 11 years old. The Club united young boys from different backgrounds that we should all have the same goals in mind, that we wanted to stay out of the streets and make a difference. There were kids from all backgrounds, single parent homes, foster care, social services, but we were treated all the same. We were taught how to stand on our own two feet and to "dream big and dare to fail". Club Director Ron Williams was a big impact on my life, and he taught me how to fight and protect our investment, which was ourselves.
Staff members Ron Williams, Heather Brosz-White and Rodney McClamb, along with others, taught me even when we failed at a sport or project, you could turn that failure into a lesson. I still carry that lesson with me today. The biggest impact the Club had on my life was teaching me how to respect our peers. Ron showed me how to respect everyone and that respect is not an earned trait.
The Club shows that anyone who walks through the door has an opportunity to grow and have fun!! It gives parents and guardians an environment where they can leave their children so they can learn healthy lifestyles, sports, and education along with lessons that they can carry over to adulthood. One thing that amazes me is that when I joined the Club in 1994, the membership fee was $7.50 a year and today in 2016, the membership fee is still $7.50 a year.
Boys & Girls Clubs is here to help and enrich young lives and for me, they did that.
I am a better person today for having the opportunity to be a part of such a
great organization.

Group buys land to prevent break in Pacific Crest Trail
SEATTLE — A group dedicated to preserving and promoting the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail has purchased private land in western Washington state to prevent a break in the path.
The Pacific Crest Trail Association bought more than 400 acres (162 hectares) in the Stevens Pass area this week from a private landowner for $1.6 million, The Seattle Times reported.
The association says the landowner had considered putting up a fence and cutting off public access to the trail.
"Given the topography, we found it very difficult to loop around that piece of private property," said Megan Wargo, the group's director of land protection. "There's only a short window you can be out there building trail. It would have meant several years of access to the PCT as a through-hike would have been closed."
The 2,600-mile (4,200-kilometer) trail from Mexico to Canada generally follows the crests of several mountain ranges, including the Cascades in Washington state and Oregon.
Wargo said the U.S. Forest Service manages the trail and has easements where it crosses private land. However, no one got an easement for the private land on the section of trail at the Stevens Pass Trialhead, she said.
"In most likelihood, it was just an oversight," Wargo said. "Somebody thought there was an easement there, but the easement was not recorded."
In 2015, the property owner was looking to sell and fence off the trail, so the association borrowed money to buy the land. It says the next step is to sell the land to the Forest Service at market value so it can repay the loan.

Alt-Medicated in Beverly Hills

— Founder of "cult-like" alt-med cancer charity Johannes Fisslinger took donations from Clint Eastwood and other celebrities to fund breast cancer research, but now Fisslinger says the money wasn't used to research breast cancer
— Another celebrity says Fisslinger used her name and image without her consent to promote a high-profile breast cancer research fundraising gala in LA: "If someone misleads once, they will do it again. We won't be used."
Johannes Fisslinger is an LA-based proponent/teacher of complementary and alternative therapies, and the founder of the Lifestyle Prescriptions Foundation (LPF) medical programme, recently the subject of a report by BuzzFeed UK (click here to read).
According to a recent e-mail sent to subscribers of that programme, Fisslinger once received a donation from renowned actor Clint Eastwood intended for Fisslinger's now-defunct breast cancer research charity, the Heal Breast Cancer Foundation (HBCF).
What Fisslinger doesn't mention in his e-mail is that money supposedly given to him by Eastwood and other celebrities wasn't used to research breast cancer, and might even have been used to fund a "cult-like" alternative medicine programme whose members were later blamed for causing the deaths of three cancer patients.
Another celebrity, whom it was claimed had a major role in a high-profile charity fundraising gala, now says Fisslinger misrepresented her involvement and used her name and image without her consent.
HBCF was founded in 2004 as the research arm of the International Meta-Medicine Association (IMMA), a California-based alternative medicine non-profit that teaches the discredited theories of the late German doctor and virulent anti-Semite Ryke Geerd Hamer, who lost his medical licence in 1986 after a number of patients in his care died.
Hamer claimed that all diseases are caused by sudden or prolonged emotional trauma, and argued that conventional medicine, which he believed was a Jewish conspiracy, should be rejected in favour of non-pharmacological – or "natural" – treatment methods, including talking therapy.
In 2007, IMMA held a high-profile charity fundraising and awards gala in Beverly Hills to raise money "to research the cause and natural healing mechanism of cancer" and "to honor six of the leading proponents in integrative medicine."
The gala, which was promoted by the TODAY show and lampooned by the Washington Post, featured an all-star cast of big names and famous faces, with tickets costing up to $30,000 to attend.
The money was supposed to fund the following research projects:
• Brain Relay Diagnostics – confirming the Organ-Brain Connection
• Traumatic Life Events causing breast cancer
• Pre-tumor breast cancer diagnosis and prevention
However, Fisslinger now says he did not carry out any research with the funds raised at the gala, except for a small study that was never published in any medical journal.
"Our intention was to do research," said Fisslinger. "But then we found out quickly that it is very, very difficult to do preventive research into breast cancer and that the needed funds are very difficult to get."
While Fisslinger didn't say how much money was raised at the gala, public records show that for the financial year 2006-2007, IMMA grossed over $135,000 – significantly more than the organisation has made in any one year before or since.
So where did the money go? According to Fisslinger: "We did a small research project with Prof. Reiff from Cairo University but it was actually never published in a medical journal – then we basically decided to focus on teaching/training and helping clients."
That's when the bodies began to pile up.
In 2009, a Norwegian television station reported that at least three cancer patients died after they were advised by high-ranking members of IMMA's Advisory Council, Dagfrid Kolås and Bent Madsen, to stop conventional treatments.
TV 2 headline, April 17, 2009 (source)
Last year another prominent IMMA practitioner from Mumbai, Anu Mehta, wrote that a severely ill cancer patient she had treated for depression using "crayon drawing analysis" committed suicide by jumping in front of a train.
Fisslinger insists that IMMA practitioners follow a strict code of practice, but was unable to provide any research to verify Hamer's theory that diseases are caused by emotional trauma.
"At this point we just don't have double-blind studies and research to verify that specific life experiences, emotions, stresses affect specific organs," said Fisslinger.
He added: "The reality is that over 1,000 health professionals [use] this knowledge daily in their work with clients. They wouldn't do that if it [didn't] help them in their analysis and in helping clients heal."
I also spoke with some of those said to have been involved in the 2007 gala.
Dr. Dean Ornish, best-selling author/former White House public health advisor under the Clinton and Obama administrations, said he had "no relationship" with HBCF or IMMA.

Dr. Robert M. Goodman, professor of Applied Science at Indiana-Bloomington University, said he had "very limited contact from the Foundation and did not contact them" or do any breast cancer research while on HBCF's Scientific Advisory Board.

Marc Neveu, PhD, an honorary fellow at the T.H. Chan Harvard School of Public Health, said he only had "a minor role on the advisory board and was not able to attend the event."

One famous actress whom it was claimed had a major role in the gala and whose name I've agreed to withhold, said Fisslinger misrepresented her involvement and later used her name and image, without her consent, in a 2015 promotional video for an event in Hawaii.
Here's what her agent told me:
[Fisslinger] misstated and admitted to [redacted] NOT being involved with the breast cancer event.
He used her name in the Hawaii conference without approval in order to generate business.
He used her name/image (unauthorized) for the video.
I've told him that if he removes [redacted]'s name from any and all references to him, his company, mission, etc, I will be still.
He said he would do it.
I don't like misrepresentations at all.
Clearly those who do it use [redacted] to enrich themselves and in so doing, they are misrepresenting her name, goal, intents, etc.
I don't want to be further involved and will never have anything to do with this man/org. moving forward.
I know many of those with whom he deals.
If someone misleads once, they will do it again. We won't be used.
Fisslinger didn't reply when asked to clarify if he used other celebrities' names and images without their consent, but here's a list of those who were said to have been involved:
