HEALTHY BABIES DO NOT JUST DIE!!
Did you know that that more than 5,000 babies die per year of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDs)? SIDS is not a real syndrome, but a classification when the cause is unknown. But SIDS rates tend to spike within THREE days of vaccine visits. Plus, SIDS rates increase with the number of vaccines given to infants. And the US gives 26 — more than any other country.
In fact, the US has the highest vaccine schedule in the developed world AND the highest infant death rate…
NOT A COINCIDENCE!!
Vaccines contain toxic additives — including aluminum, latex, formaldehyde, MSG, animal and aborted fetal cells, antibiotics — that are doing damage to our children.
Neurological and autoimmune disorders are skyrocketing. Epilepsy, autism, food allergies, asthma, type-1 diabetes, leukemia, ADHD, speech delays, tics, high-pitched screaming, SIDS, lupus, MS…and most are listed as possible side effects of these toxic vaccine ingredients.
Doctors cannot be sued when they declare the shots were safe, most often without actually even knowing the toxic ingredients in the needle. And the Pharmaceutical companies cannot be sued for putting babies lives at risk because they are one of only two industries protected from lawsuits when vaccines cause serious side effects or death — due to the 1986 National Childhood Immunization Law that gives blanket federal protection from lawsuits.
It's just the parents left with terrible guilt for trusting a system build to put PROFITS over people…and the deaths continue to rise.
Check out these studies and reports. Protect your baby, do NOT inject.

Study Shows Chicken Pox Vaccine Responsible for Triggering Nationwide Shingles Epidemic
For the past several years, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has been actively promoting the shingles vaccine as the solution to what some experts say is a building shingles epidemic.
But a new study published in the German medical journal Der Hautarzt, or "The Dermatologist" in English, has revealed that the childhood vaccine for chicken pox, a common viral disease related to shingles, may actually be directly responsible for triggering this epidemic.
Also known clinically as varicella-zoster virus (VZV), chicken pox is a relatively mild form of herpes virus that typically manifests itself during the early childhood years. Nearly all children who develop the condition at a young age, in fact, never develop it again, and are also usually imparted with lifelong immunity to both VZV and its relative, herpes zoster, a more severe form of the disease commonly referred to as shingles.
According to the new study; however, getting vaccinated with the chicken pox vaccine, which first became commercially available in the U.S. back in 1995, could damage this natural immune cycle. Based on the available data, getting vaccinated for chicken pox may end up blocking the mechanisms the body uses to develop its own natural immunity to both chicken pox and shingles, causing much worse infection later on down the road.
Study – Herpes zoster after varicella-zoster vaccination
A five-year-old girl, vaccinated against varicella-zoster virus (VZV) presented with clinical symptoms of herpes zoster in the 6th cervical dermatome. A VZV direct immune-fluorescence assay was negative three times but additional genotypical analysis showed a VZV strain genotype 2 (Oka vaccine strain). Therefore the diagnosis of a breakthrough varicella disease with the vaccine strain was established. An immunodeficiency was ruled out and the patient responded well to the initiated therapy. This case demonstrates that a negative VZV direct immunofluorescence assay does not exclude an infection with the vaccine strain.
Autopsy confirms Valley family's suspicions that vaccine caused dog's death
Monique Griego, KPNX 7:21 AM. MST June 15, 2017
The report found Milo's cause of death was likely anaphylactic shock, triggered by a vaccine.
While it isn't uncommon for pets to have an adverse reaction to a vaccine, most are minor. Anaphylaxis is one of the rarest and most severe types of reactions.
"Yes he suffered and he suffered bad," said Jason, "and he shouldn't have suffered like that, no dog or animal should ever suffer like this at all."
12 News reached out to Banfield. Dr. Ari Zabell, a client advocate at Banfield Pet Hospital, sent this statement to 12 News regarding Milo's death:
"At Banfield, we know how heartbreaking it can be to lose a member of the family. Although Milo had received these and other vaccines in the past without any adverse reaction, and such a response remains extremely rare, we were incredibly sad to learn an anaphylactic reaction to one of the vaccines was likely the cause of his passing. We immediately reported the incident to the vaccine manufacturers and will continue to remain in contact. Our hearts go out to Milo's family during this difficult time."
"We're going to fight this to the end," said Jason.
What happened to Milo is why the Baez family is now part of a growing group of pet owners taking aim at the traditional way pets are vaccinated.
Purdue Studies Show Vaccinated Dogs Can Develop Immune-Mediated Diseases
by TVR Staff
In an article published on the online magazine Dogs Naturally, Catherine O'Driscoll writes that research done at Purdue University School of Veterinary Medicine shows vaccines can lead to life-threatening immune-mediated diseases in dogs. O'Driscoll is founder of the nonprofit organization Canine Health Concern (CHC).
In studies conducted by Purdue, the vaccinated animals developed autoantibodies to many of their own cell structures, including fibronectin (involved in tissue repair), laminin (important to many cell activities), cardiolipin (a common finding with autoimmune disorders) and collagen (an important protein that provides underlying support to the body and soft tissues), as well as to their own DNA.
The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) Vaccine-Associated Feline Sarcoma Task Force has also looked into why approximately 160,000 cats in the United States develop terminal cancers at the vaccination site—an effect common enough that cats are generally vaccinated in the tail or a leg to allow for amputation if tumors develop. Vaccine-site cancers have similarly been reported for dogs and humans.
Modified live virus vaccines have an acknowledged association with a fast-acting, generally fatal disease known as autoimmune haemolytic anaemia (AIHA), and additional research has linked polyarthritis and amyloidosis to a combination vaccine given to dogs. Referring to a substantial body of research confirming that vaccines can cause significant brain and central nervous system damage in dogs, including encephalitis and brain inflammation and damage, O'Driscoll quotes a letter by Dr. Larry Glickman, who led the Purdue research group:
Our ongoing studies of dogs show that following routine vaccination, there is a significant rise in the level of antibodies dogs produce against their own tissues. Some of these antibodies have been shown to target the thyroid gland, connective tissue such as that found in the valves of the heart, red blood cells, DNA, etc…
Just as in the human population, some animals are not genetically able to withstand the vaccine challenge and are likely to suffer an adverse reaction to vaccination. In individuals with faulty B and T cell function, for example, the immune system may overreact and lead to allergies and other inflammatory conditions such as arthritis, pancreatitis, colitis or autoimmune diseases.

Stanford Scientist Claims Human Fetal DNA Fragments In Vaccines Cause Autism
Dr. Theresa Deisher, a Ph.D. in Molecular and Cellular Physiology from Stanford University has put forth a theory that human DNA fragments in vaccines could be one of the causes of autism. Deischer is a well accomplished and respected scientist. She has over 19 years of commercial biotechnology history and her research has often led to clinical trials.
Being that she's a well-respected and incredibly accomplished scientist, she's been somewhat left alone regarding her research into vaccines, which was done several years ago. These days, your entire life can be sabotaged for even suggesting that vaccines cause autism. Most of the current studies regarding the matter are sponsored by pharmaceutical companies. The justification of mass vaccine is, at its very core, a financial play by these mega-pharmaceutical corporations.
Most every peer reviewed study that shows any possibility of vaccines injuring people is abruptly covered up. Or, in the case of the CDC and a study showing bad effects on African Americans, just completely thrown out.
Why you might get the flu even if you've been vaccinated
ABC NewsSimon Royal · Jun 14, 2017
Let's be honest. The man in this photo looks appalling: a middle-aged male suffering, all tucked up in his chair-bed ready to moan the day away.
A harsh description perhaps, but we can be certain the poor thing won't take offence. Firstly, because the person in the picture is me.
And secondly because, "well you look appalling" is exactly what the doctor said as she shoved a swab up my nose to discover what on the inside was making the outside so disagreeable.
The answer came back the next morning: influenza A.
Not the much maligned man flu, but the real deal — which doesn't discriminate on the basis of gender, race, class or, indeed, much else.
But how could I have the flu, when six weeks ago I'd had the flu shot and got a lollypop from the nurse for my trouble?
Merck CEO: Gardasil plus pipeline equals big things ahead for vaccines
by Eric Sagonowsky | Jun 12, 2017
Industry watchers are predicting GlaxoSmithKline and Sanofi will post strong vaccines growth in the coming years, surpassing Merck in size along the way. But at a recent conference, Merck CEO Ken Frazier told investors not to underestimate his company's presence in the field.
Speaking at the Sanford Bernstein Strategic Decision Conference, Frazier said Merck is "excited by our vaccine pipeline and I think that's a really strong part of Merck's business," according to a Seeking Alpha transcript.
Frazier said many people "underestimate" Merck's vaccine business, but he sees things differently. To reinforce the point, Frazier pointed to Gardasil's recent sales strength and a new cancer vaccines partnership with Moderna Therapeutics as evidence of Merck's promise in vaccines.
The unit does face challenges, even with top-selling Gardasil, thanks to a recent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention decision to reduce the recommended dosing schedule. Competitors are coming for at least one of its other top products. But Frazier sees the Moderna deal, and other pipeline projects, paying off down the line.
Last summer, Merck linked up with Moderna on a personalized cancer vaccine partnership, paying $200 million up front to the Boston biotech for R&D work through proof of concept. If the program generates human proof-of-concept data, Merck has the option to make an additional undisclosed payment.
And if the work reaches that point, the pair would split costs and profits in a global collaboration. Last week, Frazier said it's an arrangement that holds "great promise for us."
Study – Aluminum hydroxide injections lead to motor deficits and motor neuron degeneration
Gulf War Syndrome is a multi-system disorder afflicting many veterans of Western armies in the 1990–1991 Gulf War. A number of those afflicted may show neurological deficits including various cognitive dysfunctions and motor neuron disease, the latter expression virtually indistinguishable from classical amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) except for the age of onset. This ALS "cluster" represents the second such ALS cluster described in the literature to date. Possible causes of GWS include several of the adjuvants in the anthrax vaccine and others. The most likely culprit appears to be aluminum hydroxide. In an initial series of experiments, we examined the potential toxicity of aluminum hydroxide in male, outbred CD-1 mice injected subcutaneously in two equivalent-to-human doses. After sacrifice, spinal cord and motor cortex samples were examined by immunohistochemistry. Aluminum-treated mice showed significantly increased apoptosis of motor neurons and increases in reactive astrocytes and microglial proliferation within the spinal cord and cortex. Morin stain detected the presence of aluminum in the cytoplasm of motor neurons with some neurons also testing positive for the presence of hyper-phosphorylated tau protein, a pathological hallmark of various neurological diseases, including Alzheimer's disease and frontotemporal dementia. A second series of experiments was conducted on mice injected with six doses of aluminum hydroxide. Behavioural analyses in these mice revealed significant impairments in a number of motor functions as well as diminished spatial memory capacity. The demonstrated neurotoxicity of aluminum hydroxide and its relative ubiquity as an adjuvant suggest that greater scrutiny by the scientific community is warranted.
The Impacts of Vaccines: Aluminum, Autoimmunity, Autism and Alzheimer's
By Dr. Gary G. Kohls
"I predict that Gardasil will become the greatest medical scandal of all times because at some point in time, the evidence will add up to prove that this vaccine…has absolutely no effect on cervical cancer and that all the very many adverse effects which destroy lives and even kill, serve no other purpose than to generate profit for the manufacturers. — Dr. Bernard Dalbergue a former pharmaceutical industry physician with Gardasil manufacturer Merck, emphasis added.
"No vaccine manufacturer shall be liable…for damages arising from a vaccine-related injury or death." – President Ronald Reagan, as he signed The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (NCVIA) of 1986, absolving drug companies from all medico-legal liability when vaccines kill or disable children
"The 271 vaccines in development span a wide array of diseases, and employ exciting new scientific strategies and technologies. These potential vaccines – all in human clinical trials or under review by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) – include 137 for infectious diseases, 99 for cancer, 15 for allergies and 10 for neurological disorders." — "Statement from the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) – the pharmaceutical industry's trade association and lobbying group.
The #1 talking point of Big Pharma, Big Vaccine, the CDC, the AMA and the American Academy of Pediatrics when they try to justify the use of the neurotoxin aluminum (and mercury) in their vaccines is this one:
"humans shouldn't be afraid of the small amount of either aluminum or mercury that is or has been in many human and animal vaccines."
They say, truthfully, that aluminum is the third most common element in the earth's crust, behind oxygen and silicone. Oxygen makes up about 47% of the earth's mass. Silicon is second at 28%, followed by aluminum at 8%. They also say that aluminum may be just as harmless as oxygen and silicone and that humans are also exposed to aluminum in oral antacids and underarm anti-perspirants and that those products haven't yet been "conclusively" proven to have caused "statistically-significant" health problems. They fail, of course, to mention that the "studies" that prove aluminum's safety (and efficacy) were designed, performed and paid-for by the very industries that benefit from the unregulated, unexamined and widespread use of injectable aluminum in America's over-vaccination schedules.
Measles Mortality Rates: The Efficacy and Safety of Vaccines. Role of The Medical Establishment
By Dr. Gary G. Kohls and David Brownstein
"During the last 10 years, there has been one death from measles, but that patient was an adult woman who was on immunosuppressive medications and had other serious health problems. (But between) 2000 and 2017, there were 156 deaths related to the MMR vaccine." – David Brownstein, MD – Holistic Family Practitioner
"Up to 90% of the total decline in the death rate of children between 1860-1965 because of whooping cough, scarlet fever, diphtheria, and measles occurred before the introduction of immunisations and antibiotics." – Archie Kalokerinos, MD
"According to the records of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, from 1911 to 1935 the four leading causes of childhood deaths from infectious diseases in the U.S.A. were diphtheria, pertussis, scarlet fever, and measles. However, by 1945 the combined death rates from these causes had declined by 95% before the implementation of mass vaccine programs." – Harold Buttram, MD
Critical thinkers and knowledgeable readers who have no ulterior motivation to blindly promote current over-vaccination agendas will agree that the Somali parents who have witnessed the devastating epidemic of Autistic Spectrum Disorders decimate so many of their children since coming to Minnesota, made a wise choice in refusing MMR vaccinations.
The Somali community has seen an alarming incidence of ASD (currently 1 out of every 32 of their children are afflicted, the worst prevalence rate in any Minnesota demographic group, even exceeding the 1 out of 48 among the fully vaccinated white male children in Minnesota). Recall that concurrent with the alarming epidemic of ASD was a dramatic increase in live virus vaccines, mercury-containing vaccine and aluminum-containing vaccines. The incidence of ASD before 1986 (when the vaccine industry was exempted from liability for vaccine deaths or injuries) was 1 in every 10,000 Minnesotan children and the rate went to 1 out of 68 by the time the number of antigens injected routinely into Minnesotan children went from a dozen or so to upwards of 80!
Something more than coincidence is at work. As noted vaccine researcher Dr Christopher Shaw has stated:
"Parents refusing to vaccinate according to the recommended CDC schedule are supported by the science."
Somali children never came down with autism in their native land. It was only after they became war refugees and emigrated to Minnesota and started accepting CDC- and Minnesota Department of Health-mandated MMR live virus-containing vaccinations (often combined with mercury-containing and aluminum-containing vaccinations) that the epidemic devastated the community.
Polio: Syria update, Democratic Republic of the Congo
by News Desk
In an update on the polio ( circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus type 2–cVDPV2) outbreak in Syria, the World Health Organization (WHO) reports there is evidence of genetic linkage among three isolates of type-2 vaccine-derived polioviruses (VDPV2) isolated in the stool specimens of two acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) cases with dates of onset of paralysis on 5 March and 6 May 2017, and the contact specimen of an AFP case collected on 17 April 2017.
Since the confirmation of the first VDPV2 during May 2017, AFP surveillance has been intensified in the Governorate, especially in the Al Mayadeen district. As of 6 June 2017, a total of 58 AFP cases have been reported from the Governorate this year. In addition to the two cases that have tested positive for VDPV2, a further 11 have tested negative for polioviruses, with the remaining samples being under process in the laboratories or being transported to the laboratories.
Although access for vaccination is compromised due to prevailing insecurity in Deir Al Zour, the Governorate has been partially reached by several vaccination campaigns against polio and other vaccine-preventable diseases since the beginning of 2016. Most recently, two campaigns have been conducted in March and April 2017 using bivalent oral polio vaccine (bOPV). The most recent full trivalent oral polio vaccine (tOPV) round was conducted in October 2015; while tOPV rounds conducted in the first four months of 2016 only reached part of the target population of the Deir Al Zour Governorate. It is pertinent to mention that Syrian Arab Republic introduced two doses of inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) in the routine infant immunization schedule in 2008. Syrian Arab Republic switched from tOPV to bOPV for routine immunization on 1 May 2016.
In the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), two separate circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus type 2s (cVDPV2s) have been confirmed. The first cVDPV2 strain has been isolated from two acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) cases from two districts in Haut-Lomami province, with onset of paralysis on 20 February and 8 March 2017. The second cVDPV2 strain has been isolated from Maniema province, from two AFP cases (with onset of paralysis on 18 April and 8 May 2017) and a healthy contact in the community.
Outbreak response plans are currently being finalized, consisting of strengthening surveillance, including active case searching for additional cases of AFP, and supplementary immunization activities (SIAs) with monovalent oral polio vaccine type 2 (mOPV2), in line with internationally-agreed outbreak response protocols.
WHO assesses the risk of further national spread of these strains to be high, and the risk of international spread to be medium.
15,000 people marched in Rome to protest new mandatory vaccine law
15,000 free-vaxxers marched in Rome under the hot summer sun to protest the new law that will increase mandatory vaccines from 4 to 12. They call themselves Free-Vaxxers to distinguish themselves from the No-Vaxxers, they want to stress that they are not anti vaccines, but they are pro-freedom; the freedom to choose if, when and how much to vaccinate their kids.
The Vaxxed team arrived in Italy for the movie premier of Vaxxed welcomed by the public and the local associations. The documentary immediately created a wave of consciousness in the public, a wave that the government has been trying to crush, first by censoring Vaxxed, and now by issuing the strictest mandatory vaccine law in Europe. Vaxxed has inspired people to come together to fight united for the right to choose to vaccinate their kids or not.
It was a true historic moment, for the very first time so many parents, doctors, politicians came together. So far this has been the largest march against mandatory vaccines in the world.

A Giant Neuron Has Been Found Wrapped Around the Entire Circumference of the Brain
This could be where consciousness forms. BEC CREW 28 FEB 2017
For the first time, scientists have detected a giant neuron wrapped around the entire circumference of a mouse's brain, and it's so densely connected across both hemispheres, it could finally explain the origins of consciousness.
Using a new imaging technique, the team detected the giant neuron emanating from one of the best-connected regions in the brain, and say it could be coordinating signals from different areas to create conscious thought.
This recently discovered neuron is one of three that have been detected for the first time in a mammal's brain, and the new imaging technique could help us figure out if similar structures have gone undetected in our own brains for centuries.
At a recent meeting of the Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies initiative in Maryland, a team from the Allen Institute for Brain Science described how all three neurons stretch across both hemispheres of the brain, but the largest one wraps around the organ's circumference like a "crown of thorns".
You can see them highlighted in the image at the top of the page.
Lead researcher Christof Koch told Sara Reardon at Nature that they've never seen neurons extend so far across both regions of the brain before.
Oddly enough, all three giant neurons happen to emanate from a part of the brain that's shown intriguing connections to human consciousness in the past – the claustrum, a thin sheet of grey matter that could be the most connected structure in the entire brain, based on volume.
USGS Finally Admits That Fracking Causes Earthquakes
Posted by Aaron Kesel | Mar 2, 2017
It has taken years to finally admit it, but the U.S. Geological Survey has just confirmed that three million Americans are at risk from human-induced earthquakes caused by wastewater disposal, a process in fracking, in 2017.
The study was focused on the U.S. Central East, primarily on Oklahoma and Kansas, who don't normally get large earthquakes. Due to wastewater disposal however, their risk is now equal to that of California.
"Between 1980 and 2000, Oklahoma averaged about two earthquakes greater than or equal to magnitude 2.7 per year. However, this number jumped to about 2,500 in 2014, 4,000 in 2015 and 2,500 in 2016. The decline in 2016 may be due in part to injection restrictions implemented by the state officials. Of the earthquakes last year, 21 were greater than magnitude 4.0 and three were greater than magnitude 5.0," the USGS said.
The report concluded that wastewater disposal from fracking is triggering larger quakes, and the drop of larger quakes is due to restrictions on fracking.
"Wastewater injection may have decreased in 2016 as a result of new regulations for its disposal, or slowed due to lower oil prices and less overall production," the USGS said.
During the fracking process, wastewater is disposed of by injecting it deep into underground wells at high pressure. That water fills up dormant faults, causing tectonic plates to slip which enables the quakes, according to the USGS.
New USGS Maps Identify Potential Ground-Shaking Hazards in 2017
The central U.S. faces continued hazards from human-induced earthquakes
New USGS maps identify potential ground-shaking hazards in 2017 from both human-induced and natural earthquakes in the central and eastern U.S.

New USGS maps identify potential ground-shaking hazards in 2017 from both human-induced and natural earthquakes in the central and eastern U.S., known as the CEUS. This is the second consecutive year both types of hazards are forecasted, as previous USGS maps only identified hazards from natural earthquakes. This research was published today in Seismological Research Letters.
Approximately 3.5 million people live and work in areas of the CEUS with significant potential for damaging shaking from induced seismicity in 2017. The majority of this population is in Oklahoma and southern Kansas.
Research also shows that an additional half million people in the CEUS face a significant chance of damage from natural earthquakes in 2017, which brings the total number of people at high risk from both natural and human-induced earthquakes to about 4 million.
"The good news is that the overall seismic hazard for this year is lower than in the 2016 forecast, but despite this decrease, there is still a significant likelihood for damaging ground shaking in the CEUS in the year ahead," said Mark Petersen, chief of the USGS National Seismic Hazard Mapping Project.
The 2017 forecast decreased compared to last year because fewer felt earthquakes occurred in 2016 than in 2015. This may be due to a decrease in wastewater injection resulting from regulatory actions and/or from a decrease in oil and gas production due to lower prices.
Nurses Share Heartbreaking Stories of What Happens To Babies Who Survive Abortions
Often when a baby is born alive during an abortion procedure, the child is kept in the abortion clinic until he or she dies. In rare cases, the abortionist himself takes action to kill the baby. But sometimes the baby is transferred to a hospital, where he can be given medical care.
Unfortunately, it is the policy of many hospitals simply to allow these babies to die.
Nurse Kathleen Malloy, from Jacksonville, Florida, witnessed the death of one baby who was born after a saline abortion and transferred to her hospital. Melanie Green of Last Days Ministries quoted Malloy in her pamphlet "Children: Things We Throw Away?" Malloy tells her story:
I worked the 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. shift, and when we weren't busy, I'd go out to help with the newborns. One night I saw a bassinet outside the nursery. There was a baby in this bassinet – a crying, perfectly formed baby – but there was a difference in this child. She had been scalded. She was the child of a saline abortion.
This little girl looked as if she had been put in a pot of boiling water. No doctor, no nurse, no parent, to comfort this hurt, burned child. She was left alone to die in pain. They wouldn't let her in the nursery – they didn't even bother to cover her.
I was ashamed of my profession that night! It's hard to believe this can happen in our modern hospitals, but it does. It happens all the time. I thought a hospital was a place to heal the sick – not a place to kill.
I asked a nurse at another hospital what they do with their babies that are aborted by saline. Unlike my hospital, where the baby was left alone struggling for breath, their hospital puts the infant in a bucket and puts the lid on. Suffocation! Death by suffocation!
A saline abortion is performed by injecting the caustic saline solution into the amniotic fluid that surrounds an unborn baby in the second trimester. The baby breathes in the fluid, which burns her lungs and scorches her skin, causing her to die within several hours.
The mother then goes through labor to give birth to the dead baby.

Vaccine News – Study – INFANTS RECEIVING MERCURY-CONTAINING VACCINES DEVELOPED SPEECH DISORDERS, SLEEP DISORDERS, AND AUTISM, ACCORDING TO CDC SCIENTISTS
Dr. Andrew Moulden: Every Vaccine Produces Harm
Canadian physician Dr. Andrew Moulden provided clear scientific evidence to prove that every dose of vaccine given to a child or an adult produces harm. The truth that he uncovered was rejected by the conventional medical system and the pharmaceutical industry. Nevertheless, his warning and his message to America remains as a solid legacy of the man who stood up against big pharma and their program to vaccinate every person on the Earth.
Dr Moulden died unexpectedly in November of 2013 at age 49.
Because of the strong opposition from big pharma concerning Dr. Moulden's research, I became concerned that the name of this brilliant researcher and his life's work had nearly been deleted from the internet. His reputation was being disparaged, and his message of warning and hope was being distorted and buried without a tombstone.
I prepared a series of articles as a tribute to a great physician and as a memorial to a courageous individual who was not afraid to speak the truth about medical corruption and a flawed healthcare system that does more to harm health than it does to cure disease.
This is the first in a series of four articles about Dr. Moulden — the man, the physician, and the powerful advocate for ending all vaccine use. In future articles, I will summarize his detailed scientific evidence, which shows how vaccine damage occurs. I will explain the common mechanisms behind vaccine damage and how vaccines harm the health of everyone who receives them regardless of whether or not they notice any adverse reactions at the time they take the shots.
Dr. Moulden stated:
What we have done to each other [with vaccines] has produced the most profound damage to humankind by humankind in the history of humanity. And the reason why we got here is partly because of:
Our arrogance in thinking that we know everything. In physiology and medicine we do not know everything!
[Our greed] to advance our own self-interest to make money, to sell products and to advance corporate alliances. Commercialization has overtaken the fundamental human value of "do unto others as you would have others do unto you." When society turns toward this human value, then we would all be working together for the greater good of each other. [However, other values have become more important] I don't care whose feet I step on or how I get there as long as my American dream is realized. I don't care who has to pay for it on the way of getting there. [1]
Dr. Moulden's Credibility
Was Dr. Moulden a crackpot as some sources claim, or was he a brilliant physician and researcher? This series of articles will set the record straight, and summarize the contribution that his work has made to medical knowledge.
When I evaluate the credibility of people who are unknown to me, I begin by seeking answers to a few basic questions. For example: Is this person offering opinion, or can he or she back up the claims with valid science? Does he have educational credentials? Are there other physicians and scientists who support his or her beliefs and recommendations? Is this person controlled by the pharmaceutical industry, allopathic medical associations, or the US FDA (US Food and Drug Administration)? And finally, what do Quackwatch and their friends have to say about the person?
Dr. Moulden had a PhD in Clinical Psychology and Neuropsychology. He had a master's degree in child development, and was also a medical doctor. [2] His work was respected by other researchers who don't march to the drumbeat of the pharmaceutical companies. Dr. Moulden was a threat to the pharmaceutical industry, and their Quackwatch family of 21 related websites treated him as an enemy. [3, 4]
Vaccine Contraindications: Six People Who Should Not Be Vaccinated
The debate surrounding vaccinations is a fierce one, and personally, I don't like to argue about it. I'm happy to make the right choices for my family while you make the right ones for yours. (I personally have suffered adverse reactions to vaccinations.) It's ok to have different opinions, really it is. But there are a lot of folks out there who think everyone should be vaccinated, period, and those who choose not to vaccinate should be penalized or worse.
Listen. I get that people are scared and there's a lot of fear-mongering in the media. But let's be realistic here: vaccinations are a medical procedure. There are risks. Vaccinations are not right for everyone. There are at least six types of people in particular who should avoid vaccinations, and below, I'll spell it out.
Vaccine Contraindications
Just like a particular surgery or prescription medication won't work well for everyone, vaccinations are not a good choice for everyone.
Some people, in particular, are much more likely to have adverse reactions to vaccinations, including:
– Those with an autoimmune disease
– Children born to a mother with an autoimmune disease
– Anyone who is sick
– Pregnant women
– Those who have previously had a reaction to a vaccination
Clearly, vaccinations are not the right choice for everyone, and each family should decide what is right for them and their children. When parents are aware of vaccine contraindications, they can make informed and safer choices for their children.
Please share this post so that other parents can learn about vaccine contraindications and decide if vaccination is right for their children.
USA: Highest Vaccination Rate in the World Has the Worst Health
That "worst health" label includes a ranking of 34th in the world with infant mortality. In other words, the USA has the 34th worst infant survival with its highest rate of vaccinations. Some are directly from multiple vaccinations administered.
But the USA leads the world in infant vaccinations, those administered during the first year after their births – 26 vaccinations during that time.
The only vaccination I recall receiving during early childhood, circa 1948, was the smallpox vaccine, the one that left a circle of shallow pockmarks on the upper arm, a non-ink tattoo that proved you had received that vaccine. Months later there was the booster shot which gave me a vacation of several days away from my first grade teacher while sitting out the chicken pox.
During Naval training the mass vaccination high pressure hand held gun that replaced syringes and needles was tried on us with the polio shot. I wound up with a vacation in the base infirmary with an extended period of the flu. Between those two, there may have been a tetanus shot or two.
From the Healthy Home Economist:
-In1950, there were 3 childhood vaccines typically given when a child entered school.
-In 1983, there were 10 recommended vaccines by the age of 6 years old (24 doses, 7 injections, 4 oral doses for polio).
-In 2010, the CDC vax schedule totaled 68 doses with more than half given by the time a child was only a year and a half old.
-In 2016, the schedule has increased to 74 doses by age 17 with 53 injections and 3 oral doses of rotavirus.
The number of vaccines included in the current childhood vaccine schedule has quadrupled over the past 60 years, with several demanding multiple injections and boosters. During this exponential rise of CDC "recommended" schedules, the health of American children has plummeted.
Autoimmune diseases, learning disabilities, food allergies, chronic ailments, and childhood obesity have all risen. The overall health of this nation ranks very low compared to all other industrialized nations, dead last in most areas.
Vaccine false dogma is so heavy hardly anyone with authority, even in mainstream media, makes the connection between poor health with high vaccination rates. Instead, more, three added for 2016, are getting enforced by mandate or coerced by pediatricians who have the right to refuse medical care on kids who aren't vaccinated.
Destroying Health with Vaccines is Good Business
50 Studies the AAP Avoided to Mention
There is a robust, worldwide body of published science from highly esteemed scientists questioning the safety of many different aspects of vaccines-how come we never hear from them? The majority of the most compelling science has been published since 2010. Below find 50 such studies to consider, sorted chronologically, and note that these studies only represent a portion of the published work implicating vaccinations in a wide variety of negative health outcomes.
The American Academy of Pediatrics made representations to President Trump in a letter dated 2/7/2017 that are utterly indefensible and inaccurate, as any rational review of the studies below quickly demonstrates. For example, the AAP wrote:
"Claims that vaccines are unsafe when administered according to expert recommendations have been disproven by a robust body of medical literature…we write to express our unequivocal support for the safety of vaccines."
We contend that the AAP's statements to the President are baseless, reckless, and easily refuted. The AAP's letter alone supports the President's desire to field a Vaccine Safety Commission and do all we can to make vaccines as safe as possible.

Supreme Court Problematically Defines Individual Mandate as "Tax"
Below are my comments on reading this morning's opinion in the health care ("Obamacare") case, where a 5-4 majority upheld the individual mandate to buy health insurance as authorized under the Taxing Clause. Ours was one of the few briefs submitted that addressed this issue, urging the Court to reject the interpretation that they ultimately adopted.
The Court majority concedes that a tax could have so many penalizing features that it loses its character as a tax and becomes a penalty (p. 42). They also concede that a penalty is "obviously designed to regulate behavior . . . ." (p. 42). However, they hold that it is a tax and not a penalty for three reasons:
(1) The amount due will be far less than the price of insurance, and is not a prohibitory financial punishment. (p.35-36)
(2) There is no requirement of a finding of criminal guilt. (p. 36)
(3) The IRS collects it, and is not permitted to use criminal prosecution or punitive sanctions in doing so. (p. 36)
They further state that the government's authority here "is limited to requiring an individual to pay money into the Federal treasury, no more."
The Court specifically states that it does not "decide the precise point at which an exaction becomes so punitive that the taxing power does not authorize it" (p. 43). That "leaves an individual with a lawful choice to do or not do a certain act, so long as he is willing to pay a tax levied on that choice." (p. 44). Thus, strangely, the Court holds that the mandate is a tax because it is voluntary, not mandatory.
The Court finally states that it is not a direct tax–if it were, it would be unconstitutional for not being apportioned by population– because not everyone is subject to it. Only those who refuse to buy insurance are subject to it, so it is an excise tax.
The joint dissent — I can't remember another jointly authored dissent — tracks our brief's arguments closely. First they, note that a tax raises revenue while a penalty punishes for an unlawful act. (p. 18). They go on: "But we have never held–never–that a penalty imposed for violation of the law was so trivial as to be in effect a tax. We have never held that any exaction of Congress's taxing power–even when the statute calls it a tax, much less when (as here) the statute repeatedly calls it a penalty." (p. 18). They refer to it as "a regulatory penalty, not a tax." (p. 19), noting that it "is imposed for violation of the law." (p. 19)
They note that different categories of people are exempted from the mandate than from the penalty, which makes no sense if it is a tax–all the categories should be exempt. They reference extensively, as we did in our brief, that all evidence in the statutory text and past cases considers it a penalty and not a tax. They also criticize the majority for giving short shrift to the argument that it is a direct tax.
In our brief, we explained that all relevant precedent defines a tax chiefly as a government exaction with the primary purpose of raising revenue. We warned that rejecting that widely-accepted definition could jeopardize settled precedent and taxpayer protections at the federal level and in nearly every state. (We also noted President Obama's comments that the mandate is not a tax.) There has been no development in law that necessitates such a far-reaching change.
A meaningful distinction between "tax" and "penalty" is vital to give operation to numerous federal and state provisions relating to tax policy. To hold that a tax is any government exaction, then government revenue collection efforts across the country could be imperiled, as many revenue sources are not subjected to the heightened restrictions that "taxes" are. To collect fees or impose criminal fines, states for the first time would see these charges subjected to supermajority, multiple reading, and other requirements. While some states may choose to extend such procedural requirements to non-tax revenue sources, this should be done explicitly through the legislative process, not by announcing a new definition of "tax" not comprehended at the time these provisions were adopted.
We had urged the Court to be cautious not to encourage treating penalties as taxes, as that would render many state powers, and potentially the Taxing Power's limitations, meaningless.

Japan, 1853-1912
5. Foreign Policy
In this module we think about how the Meiji state managed to extricate themselves from the Unequal Treaties, and their development into a nation that was to be taken seriously by the Western powers.
In this course Dr Andrew Cobbing (University of Nottingham) explores Japan in the 19th century. We begin by thinking about what Japan was like under the Tokugawa shogunate, focusing in particular on the main social, economic and cultural developments from the early 17th century. In the second module, we think about Western intervention in Japan – why did the Tokugawa regime collapse so quickly after the arrival of Commodore Matthew Perry in 1853? In the following four modules, we look in turn at four key themes in the history of later 19th-century Japan: nationalism, modernisation, foreign policy and imperialism.
Andrew Cobbing is Associate Professor in History at the University of Nottingham. His research focuses on cultural relations between Japan and the West with particular reference to the experience of samurai travellers and the diaries they kept during their explorations abroad. His recent publications include Kyushu, gateway to Japan: a cultural history (2009) (as editor) and Hakata: the cultural worlds of northern Kyushu (2013).

Purchase Orders (P.O.s) control spending and facilitate the paying of bills. Your agency sets policy on when they're required; CurrentTrack® simplifies the process. P.O.s are generally filled out before money is spent. When submitted, CurrentTrack generates a sequential number that follows the expenditure through your accounting system. The starting number was specified in your initial set-up of CurrentTrack.
TIP: Enter a Disclaimer via Site Branding (e.g. "Goods are subject to our inspection and approval. If shipment will be delayed for any reason, advise us immediately and state all necessary facts. To avoid errors, note specifications carefully and, if unable to complete orders as written, notify us promptly.").
To submit a P.O., go to Clients & Jobs — Client — Job One Sheet — I Want To: Create Purchase Order. You can also click at the top of the screen.
TIP: When navigating via the menu, the Job field on the initial Create screen is content-sensitive. Enter as many job Title keywords as possible to narrow down the list more quickly and eliminate unnecessary scrolling.
The form is easy to fill out. If you need to go back and edit a line item's QTY, Unit Price or Price before you've submitted the P.O., CurrentTrack will ask how it should re-calculate the numbers. Simply click OK to recalculate Price as QTY times Unit Price, or Cancel to recalculate Unit Price as Price divided by QTY.
Select a Vendor from the drop-down menu. If your Vendor already exists within CurrentTrack, simply click on the name. If not, add their information by clicking Add Vendor. Enter the Vendor's Name, Tax Rate, contact information, et. al; click Submit. If you try to re-enter an existing Vendor, you'll receive a warning. The same is true if the Vendor is added via the Add link of the Vendor Address Book.
TIP: List Keywords (e.g. web press, large format outputs, etc.) and keep them consistent (e.g. website vs. web site). The feature can later be used to reference these terms.
To update or correct a Vendor's information, go to Address Books — I Want To: View Vendor Address Book. Entries have been paged-out to make navigation easier. Click the appropriate alpha (or numeric) range and then on the Vendor Name. Make the desired modifications and click Submit. Updated Vendor information will appear in all previously filed and future P.O.s and in the Address Book.
The Ship To address within the P.O. can either be manually entered or chosen from the pop-up box to the right of the field. Contact information appearing in the box is pulled from the respective Client Spec Sheet. Simply click on the appropriate name(s) and close the pop-up box.
By default, CurrentTrack applies the Markup factor found in the respective Client's Spec Sheet. To enter an alternate Markup for your P.O., simply overwrite the factor appearing in its Markup field. Once submitted, CurrentTrack will apply the rate and reflect the correct Gross figure in the [job] Financial Report.
NOTE: If the P.O. will NOT have a Markup applied, the number "1" must appear in the Markup field rather than "0".
SHARING A P.O. WITH CLIENTS
If you'd like to share a P.O. with a Client, at the bottom of its Create (or Edit) screen, indicate the specific Client Viewable User(s). If e-mail addresses have been associated with selected User(s), they'll appear in the Notify Client by E-mail field once a specific User(s) is indicated. To alert internal Employees via their Message box, simply add their names to the cc: field. External contacts will receive an e-mail that reads:
SHARING A P.O. WITH VENDORS
If you'd like to share a P.O. with a Vendor, check the appropriate box beside Viewable, at the bottom of the form. Click the pop-up box to the right of the Vendor User(s) field. The Vendor Address Book will appear. Simply click the appropriate name(s) and close the box. Next, check the box beside Notify Vendor by E-mail. If addresses have been associated with the selected Vendor User(s), they'll appear in the box. Manually enter (or remove) addresses, separated by commas. To alert internal Employees via their Message box, simply add their names to the cc: field. External contacts will receive an e-mail that reads:
VIEWING A PURCHASE ORDER
To View a P.O.internally, go to Clients & Jobs — Client — Job One Sheet — I Want To: Open Documents Folder.
If a P.O. has been matched to a Vendor Invoice, an (M) symbol will appear beside it. An (O) indicates it is still Open (i.e. unmatched) while (V) indicates it's been voided. Click the View link beside the desired P.O. To view its Printer Friendly version, click the printer icon located at the top of the screen.
If external notification has been sent to a Client or Vendor, they'll be directed to the Client Interface where they can sign in using your Agency Name and the User Name and Password you've assigned them within either the Client Spec Sheet or Vendor Address Book. External users can return feedback via the Add Comment link located beneath each posted document. Feedback is automatically sent to the CurrentTrack Messages box of the Account Executive(s) and Coordinator(s) specified in the Client's Spec Sheet as well as to Employees listed in the Notifications areas. A copy of the Feedback is saved in the [job] Documents Folder, beneath its parent document, and is viewable by everyone in your agency.
Accounting and others with Permission can sort and Manage P.O.s in a number of ways.
To Manage Purchase Orders, go to Admin — Agency Administration — Manage Purchase Orders.
Select one or more of the listed criteria, including a P.O. Status.
Only Open: All P.O.s that have not yet had their Invoice Matched boxes checked
Only Matched: All P.O.s that have had their Invoice Matched boxes checked
Only Voided: All P.O.s that have had their Void P.O. boxes checked
Only QuickBooks Sync'd: This option will only appear in the drop-down menu if your agency is a QuickBooks Connector user; all P.O.s previously sent to QuickBooks.
Only non-QuickBooks Sync'd: This option will only appear in the drop-down menu if your agency is a QuickBooks Connector user; all P.O.s not yet sent to QuickBooks.
Lastly, click Search. Results will appear, in descending order, on the following page. To export the contents of the screen, click Export to Excel. The file, in .xls format, will automatically download to your desktop. To view a Printer Friendly version of the results screen, click the printer icon located at the top of the page.
MOVING A PURCHASE ORDER
To Move a P.O. from one job to another, go to Clients & Jobs — Client — Job One Sheet — I Want To: Open Documents Folder. Click the Move link beside the P.O. Select the correct Job Number from the drop-down menu; click Submit.
EDITING A PURCHASE ORDER
To Edit a P.O, go to Admin — Agency Administration — Manage Purchase Orders.
Find the P.O. using the search criteria listed and make the necessary changes. If deleting a line item, check the box immediately to its left and click Submit. Remember, entire P.O.s cannot be deleted. They may only be voided.
You may also Edit a P.O. from within a job's Documents Folder, if you have Permission to Manage Purchase Orders; Clients & Jobs — Client — Job One Sheet — I Want To: Open Documents Folder — [Edit] Purchase Order.
By default, Employees listed in the CC: field, at the bottom of the form, will receive a second Message alerting them that changes have been made to the original P.O.
VOIDING A PURCHASE ORDER
To Void a Purchase Order, go to Admin — Agency Administration — Manage Purchase Orders.
Find the P.O. using the search criteria listed. Edit it and check the box beside Void P.O. Once submitted, the voided form will remain in CurrentTrack. The job's Financial Report will reflect the voided P.O., but it won't affect the Grand Total.
INVOICE MATCHING
Once an Invoice has been received from a Vendor, you have the option of matching it to its corresponding P.O. in CurrentTrack.
To enter Invoice information, go to Clients & Jobs — Client — Job One Sheet — I Want To: Open Documents Folder.
Click the Edit link beside the P.O. and, once inside the form, check the box beside Invoice Matched. Enter the Invoice Tax Amount and the Invoice Total Amount; click Submit. The corresponding Invoice information will appear beside the P.O. in the job's Financial Report.
We don't pay tax to Vendors, rather we bill it to the Client. How can I differentiate between the two in CurrentTrack?
A Purchase Order (P.O.) is entered for printing (e.g. $100), without the Tax box checked. The figure flows into the job's Financial Report, with P.O. Gross calculated according to the Markup figure (e.g. 1.50) entered either in the Client Spec Sheet (i.e. "the default Markup rate") or the P.O. itself (i.e. "the overwrite Markup"). A separate, catch-all P.O. is created in the same job folder;
Subject = Applicable Sales Tax
Vendor = The State of [YOUR STATE]
As each additional P.O. is entered against the job (e.g. more printing, stock photos, color outputs, etc.), the Applicable Sales Tax is added to the second, catch-all P.O.
This ensures what's billed to the agency by the Vendor and billed to the Client by the agency, both appear in the job's Financial Report. Additionally, the Manage Purchase Orders interface enables the agency to see, "how much sales tax has been paid to the state of Kentucky," for example.

Photos – The Carla Esparza Story
UFC 270: Ngannou vs. Gane Fight Calendar
Nelson Paes : Fighter of the Week
UFC Fight Night: Lewis vs. Daukaus
Fighter of the Week: Dhruv Chaudhary
Carla Kristen Esparza (born October 10, 1987) is an American professional mixed martial artist who competes in the Strawweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).
Largely known for her grappling abilities, Esparza was the first UFC Strawweight Champion, the first Invicta FC Strawweight Champion, and was generally considered the best strawweight fighter in the world while holding each title.
Carla Esparza's foray into mixed martial arts (MMA) began when she started wrestling for the varsity team during her junior year at Redondo Union High School in Redondo Beach, California.
After winning multiple local and national high-school wrestling tournaments, Esparza was awarded a scholarship to Menlo College to wrestle under coach and former two-time Olympian Lee Allen
In August 2010, only six months after her pro debut and with just three professional MMA fights, Esparza was called in by Bellator MMA as a last-minute replacement for Angela Magaña, who was forced to withdraw from her upcoming fight due to a foot injury.
Esparza was inserted in the bracket of the Bellator Season 3 115 lb women's tournament at Bellator 24. On just three days' notice, Esparza's opponent in the quarterfinal round was the undefeated and then #1 pound-for-pound female MMA fighter in the world, Megumi Fujii Esparza lost the fight to the heavily favored Fujii via second-round armbar submission.
XFC and MEZ Sports
On December 2, 2011, Esparza made her XFC debut against Felice Herrig at XFC 15: Tribute in Tampa, Florida. She defeated Herrig via unanimous decision.
Three months later, Esparza was scheduled to face Angela Magana at Pandemonium VI for the MEZ Sports women's flyweight title.
Unfortunately, Magana was involved in a car accident on the day of the fight while in transit to the Riverside Convention Center, where the event was being staged. Magana re-broke her back in the collision and was unable to compete in the fight.
In May 2012, it was announced that Esparza had signed with the upstart all-female Invicta Fighting Championships promotion.
On July 28, 2012, Esparza made her Invicta debut at the promotion's second event, entitled Invicta FC 2: Baszler vs. McMann, and faced Sarah Schneider on the preliminary card. Esparza won the fight via TKO (punches) at 4:28 of round two.
Strawweight Championship
Esparza was expected to face Ayaka Hamasaki for the Invicta FC Strawweight Championship at Invicta FC 4: Esparza vs. Hyatt on January 5, 2013.
However, Hamasaki withdrew from the fight in order to defend her Jewels Lightweight title in Japan. Esparza was then set to face Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt Cláudia Gadelha in the Invicta FC 4 main event, but Gadelha broke her nose in training and was forced to withdraw.
On December 11, 2013, it was announced that Esparza was signed by the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) along with 10 other strawweight fighters to compete on season 20 of The Ultimate Fighter, which would crown the first ever UFC Strawweight Champion.
Strawweight Champion
After dominating much of the fight with her grappling and ground strikes, Esparza defeated Namajunas via rear-naked choke in the third round to become the inaugural UFC Strawweight Champion.
The result also earned Esparza a Performance of the Night bonus.

Do Babies Know Everything When They Are Born? Being Straight From Source?
Brooke # 23: Do babies know everything when they are born? Being straight from Source? Then, are they conditioned out of the truth with language and all the other things that come with growing up?
So they don't have to incorporate as Earthlings until they embody sometime before birth. Can they select or announce their own name?
Some babies react strongly to certain humans, screaming and squirming when they are nearby. From what You are saying, that baby knows exactly what it's doing and why, though the adults are completely puzzled! Or the infant might smile and hold out its arms to a total stranger. This would explain such reactions, too. Might these tendencies predict future intelligence?
Well, I have noticed the quality of the eyes on some very young babies. How they stare with such wide-eyed, riveted concentration, as if they know what they are looking at. That kind of stare isn't seen in children or adults, whose look is always much more casual. But, these babies' eyes practically pop out and they are very solemn and knowing. I feel as if they're getting their first look at this World Below, as any newly-arrived tourist might.

In this study we have followed a participatory design process in a class of children aged 11 and 12. The development team, a group of Danish schoolteachers, invited the children to participate in the design of a computer game for mathematics education. The objective of the participatory design process was to have the children create a game close to their own interests, experiences and fantasies, hereby insuring that they would find the game interesting enough to play it in their spare time away from school. Prior to the design workshops, the development team had a discussion with one of their classes, and decided on a game of exploration where the player travels through time and space, and the purpose of the design process described in this paper was to develop this idea further. During this process it became clear that the teachers' ideas in some sense differed from the children's. In the teachers' original concept, the landscape would represent the history of mathematics (e.g. ancient Egypt, Greece, China), whereas the children's ideas, diverse though they were, evolved around a fantasy setting and tourist experiences. In this project there arose a conflict between a pedagogical goal and an attempt to understand the end-users world through research.

Ghana's Vice President Dr. Bawumia Named Among 100 Most Influential African Leaders
admin December 7, 2022 International, National News Leave a comment 293 Views
The Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has been named among the 100 most influential people on the African continent.
The exclusive list of transformational African leaders, was drawn by revered Pan African publication, the New African Magazine, which seeks to recognise, acknowledge and honour a rare breed of transformational African leaders, whose works are truly transforming lives and making telling impacts on their respective countries and the African continent.
Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia was selected in the category of influential LEADERS, along with Presidents Paul Kagame of Rwanda, Mackey Sall of Senegal and William Ruto of Kenya. Others are AfDB President Dr. Akinwumi Adesina, and Afriexim Bank President Professor Benedict Oramah.
Dr. Bawumia was recognised for his relentless efforts at spearheading Ghana's digitisation as a core economic strategy to solve socio-economic problems.

Glowing tribute
Naming Dr. Bawumia as one of Africa's most influential leaders, the publication eulogised the Vice President for his transformational leadership, noting that his reforms are setting "unique precedents on the African continent."

'The Oxford-trained economist, former Deputy Governor of Ghana's Central Bank and Vice President of the Republic of Ghana since 2017, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is spearheading Ghana's digitisation as a core economic strategy to solve socio-economic problems, formalise and build a more inclusive economy, deal with corruption and to provide social services more effectively," wrote the magazine.
"His reforms are setting a unique precedent on the continent. His digitisation agenda has resulted in the implementation and adoption of a National Identification System, a Digital Property Addressing System and a Mobile Money Interoperability System. This is enabling a new set of opportunities for the consumer including mobile wallets and greater financial inclusion."
"Bawumia sees technology as the key to transforming the economy and delivering essential services," the publication added.
Dr. Bawumia was also commended by the magazine for initiating Ghana's recent oil-for-gold barter initiative, which seeks to pay for imported oil with Ghana's gold, rather than paying with its reserved US Dollars – a smart move to curb the depreciation of the Cedi, as well as control the rising cost of fuel in the country.

Impact of Dr. Bawumia's digitisation initiatives
With the transformational policies Dr. Bawumia has championed, Ghana has achieved the following: successfully issued digital national identity cards to Ghanaian nationals and residents, become the first African country to adopt a national digital property address system, become the first African country to implement mobile money interoperability between mobile money accounts and bank accounts, been ranked number one in terms of access to financial inclusion in Africa, become the first country in Africa to implement a universal QR Code payment system and Ghana has also become the first country in the world where banks have issued their own mobile money wallets known as GhanaPay.
Through his digitisation initiatives, Ghana has also become the world's largest provider of medical delivery services using Zipline drones to deliver medical supplies to remote parts of the country in real time.

Ghana has also become the first country in Africa to implement a national scale E-Pharmacy digital platform, and the country has also figitized the provision of government services using a common digital portal (Ghana.gov), as well as a common digital platform for property taxation in Ghana – all contributing immensely to revenue mobilization.
New Africa Magazine's latest honour adds to the growing list of international acknowledgement of Dr Bawumia, for his starring role in Ghana's acclaimed digitisation drive.
Recently, the UNDP, through its country rep, Angela Rusigi, described Dr. Bawumia as a "champion of digitisation", adding that his efforts have contributed to 'inclusive and accelerated development'.

Q: Ruby operator precedence issue What will the variables 'roses' and 'violets' contain after the following statements are executed?
roses = "blue" && "red"
violets = "blue" and "red"

I expected roses = "red", violets = "blue", as the precendece order of operators is:

*

*&&

*=

*and

But the irb shows both of them as "red". Any Explanations?

A: Don't confuse assigned value and overall value of the expression. Both lines (as whole expressions) evaluate to "red" because there's no short-circuit there and "red" is the last expression evaluated. See for yourself:
roses = "blue" && "red" # => "red"
violets = "blue" and "red" # => "red"

roses # => "red"
violets # => "blue"

Going further, let's place some parentheses, according to precedence
violets = "blue" and "red"

becomes
(violets = "blue") and "red"

becomes
("blue") and "red"

becomes
"red"

That's how `violets' gets assigned "blue", but the entire expression evaluates to "red".

A:

*

*Keep in mind that && and || operator should be used for boolean expressions evaluation,and/or for control flow evaluations. source:- ruby-style-guide

*&&, and, ||, or all are Short-circuit operators in Ruby. But or has lower precedence than ||;and has has lower precedence than &&. source:- Boolean operators in various languages

That said,source:- Operator Precedence Table-

*

*&& and || has higher precedence than =.Thus your expression roses = "blue" && "red" is actually becomes
  roses = ("blue" && "red")

*= has higher precedence than and and or.Thus your expression violets = "blue" and "red" is actually becomes
  (violets = "blue") and "red"

STR's Arlington VA office works a broad range of technical programs in the heart of the Washington DC area near many DoD and IC customers. These programs range from maritime to space applications, with emphasis on concept development and exploration, system architecture design, through prototype evaluation and testing. This location allows STR to tap into the experience and talent across the DC region which, coupled with the strength of STR's other locations, allows STR to satisfy the full spectrum of national security applications.
The most pressing challenge in anti-submarine warfare (ASW) is to find a submarine over large open ocean areas. Legacy operations are conducted by manned platforms at significant expense and risk. With the emergence of unmanned systems above and below the waterline, opportunity exists to offset these risks. However scaling solutions to wide areas, and managing the complexity of distributed operations across domains, requires innovative solutions and strategies.
STR is exploring how to combine unmanned solutions above and below the surface to support wide area ASW. Underwater systems have the potential for persistence, and the ability to achieve large area coverage with sonar, but suffer from a lack of speed to gain threatening proximity to the target. Overhead systems (UAVs) have the speed to gain proximity, but are constrained to shorter duration missions.. STR is exploring how to best combine assets in both domains to jointly maximize coverage and engagement speed.
