Prevent Senior faces major lawsuit over pandemic wrongdoings

State, federal, and labor prosecutors in São Paulo on Tuesday announced a lawsuit against Prevent Senior, one of Brazil’s largest health insurance providers, demanding BRL 940 million (USD 189 million) in compensation for damages caused during the first two years of the Covid pandemic.

The company’s conduct, according to the prosecutors, included workplace harassment, workplace violations, testing on humans without proper authorization from the National Research Ethics Commission, and violations of medical autonomy, public health, and the rights of patients and health insurance consumers.

The company’s management, the prosecutors said, prohibited doctors and other employees from wearing masks and kept employees who tested positive for Covid on the job. Doctors were also morally harassed into prescribing so-called “Covid kits” to patients, which included drugs that were proven ineffective in treating the virus.

i am dangerously close to making my own interpretation of superman

#soren.txt #maws needs to come back before i do something insane #anyways. so what i was thinking of was pulling the same idea maws had #with the main cast being significantly younger #and lois treating her internship like a bootcamp. the idea is so funny to me id kinda love to write it #but then she breaks away from this because of superman. the call to adventure if you will #and clark sorta had a rough time growing up because of his powers #maybe some accident happened which caused him to overcorrect himself so he doesn't use his powers at all #so metropolis is a completely new start for him #BUT during his senior year of highschool is when pa dies #so when he comes to metropolis the trauma is still somewhat raw? especially since he spent the next few years #trying to keep a brave face for the sake of ma because he feels like that's all he really *can* do #he may or may not have some guilt because he feels like he could've prevented it from happening to begin with #i think jimmy would be a nice change of pace for him. grounding him a bit more n all. #while lois is practically begging him to join her. clark is very attached to his safe space with jimmy lol #anyways eventually itd get to the point of clois slowburn and lois building a *platonic* relationship with both clark and supes #because as ive expressed before i kinda wanted stupid love triangle shenanigans and also i love slow burn #and im obsessed with the powers connected to emotions trope that im dialing it up a notch

why are jobs always like “expansion of duties without increased depth or adequate compensation” . lol girl ew …. no like seriously EWWW ….

#i did the thing you’re not supposed to do (be honest when a manager asks for feedback about how they can best support you) #told them i’m stressed because i’ve suddenly become one of two (2) senior staff members and everyone else is brand new #and that none of the new people are being trained adequately and i don’t have time to train them and it’s affecting our client relationship #and the manager was like hmmm 🤔 well how about we give you privileges to shift around the day staff schedule so you can train them all? #LIKE HUH ????? HUHHHH ??? #in what universe does me saying ‘i’m overworked and stressed the fuck out by (not their fault but) incompetent coworkers’ translate to #‘i want to continue doing the workload of 3 people while Also taking on the additional duty of training between 7-10 new staff’ #I DO NOT HAVE THE TIME #OR ENERGY. OR WILL TO LIVE #and the sad part is i’m going to do it #because the alternative is letting our clients down #and i’m … not physically capable of Not doing everything in my power to prevent thaf. like what the fuck #pegasus speaks #i <3 using tumblr as my personal journal

So I made something ...

#hate how Aof and fans make Earth seem old #when he's not even 30!!! #use older actors if you want to make it so #also even if Jim was actually meant to be close to 40 #HE'S NOT A SENIOR CITIZEN #pls give me shows with queer people over 60 #but don't treat people around or over 30 as if they're OLD™ #still headcanon that Jim exaggerated his age and is actually 34 #even if it's meant as a joke I HATE it #bc Earth gets treated as if he's so much older than he actually is all the time #ppl behaving as if m/l/c did so well on different gay generations #while the oldest isn't even 40 #and still gets treated as if he's close to the grave #so yeah not a joke if this view on Earth prevents him from actually getting better roles #it's actually harmful #personal #rant #needed to be said #now overthink your perception of age in this industry and in those stories

I am mortified over what happened with this assignment hhhhhhh that was not Peak Eri Performance™️ and I'm so embarrassed.

This is the second time in two months I've ended up staying up all night for an assignment but the first time I had to ask for help because I cried for two hours while still actively doing the assignment and fighting the urge to give up the whole damn time.

Once is a mistake, twice is a choice, three times is a habit.

So this month is my only chance to break the habit before it forms. I'm proud I went down fighting but literally everything else about this situation has me wanting to disappear and never be seen again.

I got the assignment done, though, at the personal cost of no sleep for 27 hours and that's really not ideal or healthy but that determination is pretty damn metal! Despite the absolute carnage, I think the Munsons would be proud and that has to be enough comfort.

#gonna talk to work senior and professor and my Tumblr girls and between all these minds we'll figure it out #and prevent it happening next month #i do not wanna put myself in that place again

i have a love/hate relationship with reading articles about the problems with women's running. i love running so much and it has so many problems. and of course I've lived several of them. but my favorite thing about running is you can keep getting better for a long time.

#idk i was insulated from the worst of it for 2 reasons #1) I have never been and never will be fast. so while there was some pressure on how to look. I was never going to be scoring points #2) i was never interested in being embedded in the social aspect of the team. It was important to me but my friends were elsewhere #but idk like truly getting kicked off the team by a new coach my senior year remains probably the worst sporting moment of my life. #I don't know when I'll get over that #She told me it was to prevent injury but I know perfectly well it was because I was too slow. #She had eight girls out with stress fractures by the end of the season. You want to know who has never had a serious injury. Me. #(knock on wood) #Idk I love longer races too. I just like. I get so excited thinking about my running future #My marathon was genuinely so fun like I thought it would be so much worse and I can't wait to do another one #Idk it's just. Idk I've been running since I was 11 but I didn't learn to love it til college #And reading about it is a lot sometimes #I need to know where I'm gonna be next year so I can sign up for races!!!!!! #Tetrapod runs

I wish someone had warned me how much of my career would be spent cleaning up other grown adults' messes.

Not that it would have done anything, but still. Would have been nice to bee prepared.

#also to be clear #I work in consulting lol it's not like a hospital where cleaning up a mess is to be expected #I'm talking a man in senior leadership saying he'll do one thing #breaking protocol and doing another #so now I'll be logging lots of hours trying to fix it #and my company will also have to use more resources to fix it #for an entirely preventable issue #anywayyyyy I'll shut up now bc nobody needs to hear my opinions about white middle age men in my industry #who make it to senior leadership by virtue of being at the right place and right time #who are all talk and no action and utterly useless unless there's a full team beneath them actually running shit #oh oop #tbd #personal

Canadian Study, with UC San Diego Support, Provides Seniors with Tools to Fight Dementia

The Alzheimer’s Disease Cooperative Study (ADCS) at UC San Diego School of Medicine has partnered with Canada’s largest dementia research initiative, the Canadian Consortium on Neurodegeneration in Aging (CCNA), to launch an innovative online program that offers older adults the opportunity to increase their knowledge of dementia, improve lifestyle risk factors and engage with researchers.

The program, Brain Health PRO (BHPro), offers interactive digital educational modules to empower older adults to improve their physical and mental health, and modify their risk factors for dementia.

BHPro was created through the Canadian Therapeutic Platform Trial for Multidomain Interventions to Prevent Dementia (CAN-THUMBS UP) program, which is part of the CCNA and involves collaboration with the ADCS. The online program focuses on seven different modifiable dementia risk domains: exercise, nutrition, sleep, psychological and social health, cognitive engagement, heart health, and vision and hearing.

For each, the program includes 10-minute educational videos, as well as interactive activities for users to complete. One of the unique aspects of this program will be some of the information gained through wearable devices in its participants. They will be sent smart devices that will record brain activity during sleep, and track their physical activity. These measures will allow researchers to evaluate the impact of the program on participants’ everyday activities and risk factors for dementia. The study of BHPro will support 350 older adults across Canada who have at least one risk factor for dementia, with the goal of seeing participants’ dementia risk reduced throughout the yearlong study.

ADCS has provided leadership and partnership to this project from its inception. Its unique infrastructure has been fundamental to the successful support and launch of the CAN-THUMBS UP program. Howard Feldman, MD, co-director of the ADCS, serves as a member of the co-principal investigator team of CAN-THUMBS UP, and is joined by several UC San Diego faculty and staff members who serve as part of the CTU Steering Committee and Study Operations Team.

“It’s timely to be working with CCNA on this project,” Feldman said. “BHPro’s innovative approach aligns with our own commitment to dementia education, better understanding of lifestyle factors affecting dementia outcomes, and modification of risk factors through new approaches.”

A complementary ADCS study called HALT-AD is being launched in San Diego at UC San Diego. HALT-AD, a pilot study for the Healthy Actions and Lifestyles to Avoid Dementia or Hispanos y el ALTo a la Demencia, is a bilingual, bicultural co-created program. This program is designed and will be available for adults in the community who wish to join an education program and discussion groups enabling them to learn more about dementia, and practice preventive actions.

In addition to these educational initiatives directed at dementia prevention, the ADCS was the recent recipient of a $50 million gift from the Epstein Family Foundation to UC San Diego to support two programs: one for gene therapy for Alzheimer’s disease and the other, a “powder for pennies” (P4P) program, designed to expedite the testing of existing or repurposed drugs and natural products for its treatment.

(BHPro is funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and the ASC, and was created through the Canadian Therapeutic Platform Trial for Multidomain Interventions to Prevent Dementia {CAN-THUMBS UP} program, which is part of the CCNA. To learn more, please visit www.canthumbsup.ca.)

It's actually crazy talking to friends and relatives about what's going on because very few of them know that this is a retaliatory attack. I keep seeing people online call the attack unprovoked too.

So those who don't know, on April 1st Israeli warplanes bombed Iran's consulate in Damascus. The attack killed 7 of Iran’s military advisers including 3 senior commanders.

Reuters reporters at the site in the Mezzeh district of Damascus saw emergency workers clambering atop rubble of a destroyed building inside the diplomatic compound, adjacent to the main Iranian embassy building. Emergency vehicles were parked outside. An Iranian flag hung from a pole by the debris.

Iran's ambassador to Syria said the strike hit a consular building in the embassy compound and that his residence was on the top two floors. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said in a statement that seven Iranian military advisers died in the strike including Mohammad Reza Zahedi, a senior commander in its Quds Force, which is an elite foreign espionage and paramilitary arm.

This attack on the embassy is against international law. Embassies are protected sites. But instead of condemning the attack and putting pressure on Israel, the US has spent the past week and a half calling West Asian countries to put pressure on Iran, with Biden going as far as to warn Iran not to attack Israel and saying that his support for Israel is 'iron clad'.

The West, the UN, and UN Security Council have largely failed to condemn the attack which means Iran has no choice but to retaliate with force in order to prevent future attacks. Otherwise, the country will look vulnerable and weak, especially to the Israeli occupation government which has spent months bombing neighbouring countries like Syria and Lebanon

I want to write a movie that is sort of the flip side of a Hallmark holiday movie. Not an anti-Hallmark movie, just like the other side of the same coin.

It starts with a well-dressed professional woman driving a convertible along a country road, autumn foliage in the background, terribly scenic. She turns onto a dirt road/long driveway, and stops next to a field of Christmas trees, all growing in neat, ordered rows, perfectly trimmed and pruned to form. She steps out of the car--no, she's not wearing high-heels, give her some sense!--and knocks on the door of a worn but nice-looking farmhouse. An older woman, late fifties maybe, answers the door, looking a bit puzzled. The younger woman asks if she can buy a Christmas tree now, today. The older woman says they don't do retail sales--and the younger woman breaks down crying.

Cut to the two women sitting at the kitchen table with cups of tea. The young woman (Michelle), no longer actively crying, explains that her mother loves Christmas more than anything, but is in the hospital with end-stage cancer. Her doctors don't think she'll live to see December, let alone Christmas. Nobody is selling Christmas trees in September, so could the older woman please make an exception, just this once? The older woman (Helen) regretfully explains that they have a contract to sell their trees that forbids outside sales. The younger woman nods, starts to stand up, but the older woman stops her with a hand and asks her what hospital her mother is in. After she answers the older woman says that "my Joe" will deliver a tree the next day. "Contract says I can't sell you a tree, but nothing says I can't give you one."

Next day "Joe" shows up at the hospital in flannel and jeans, with a smallish tree over her shoulder. Oh, whoops, that's Jo, Helen's daughter, short for Joanna, not Joe. Jo sets up the tree and even pulls out a box of lights and ornaments. Mother watches from hospital bed with a big smile as Jo and Michelle decorate the tree. Cue "end of movie" type sappiness as nurses and other patients gather in the doorway, smiling at the tree.

Cut to Michelle sitting in her dark apartment, clutching a mug of tea, staring out at the falling snow and the Christmas lights outside. Her apartment has no tree, no decorations, nothing. She starts at a knock on the door, goes to open it. Jo is standing there, again holding a tree over her shoulder.

Plot develops: the second tree is a gift, because Michelle might as well get it as the bank. The contract for the tree sales was an /option/ contract, which prevents them from selling to anyone else, but doesn't guarantee the sale. The corporation with the option isn't going to buy the trees, but Helen and Jo can't sell them anywhere else, and basically they get nothing. They'll lose the farm without the year's income. Michelle asks to see the contract and Jo promises to email it to her.

Next day at a very upscale law firm, Michelle asks at the end of a staff meeting if anyone in contract law still needs pro bono hours for the year. No one does, but a senior partner (Abe) takes her to his office and asks about it. She says the contract looks hinky to her ("Is that a legal term?" "Yes.") but contract law's not her thing. He raises an eyebrow and she grins and pulls a sheaf of paper out of her bag and hands it over. He reads it over, then looks up at her. "They signed this?"

More plot develops. Abe calls in underlings--interns, paralegals, whatever--and the contract is examined, dissected, and ultimately shredded (metaphorically). It's worse even than it looks--on January 1st Helen and Jo will have to repay the advanced they received at signing. The corporation has bought up a suspicious number of Christmas tree farms in previous years after foreclosure, etc.

Cut to Abe explaining all this to Helen and Jo while sitting with them and Michelle in a very swanky conference room. The firm is willing to take on the case pro bono, hopefully as a class's action suit for other farmers trapped by the contract--but there's no way it can go to court before January. Which will be too late to save the farm's income for the year. They might get enough in damages to tide them over, but….

After Michelle sees Helen and Jo out, she comes back and asks Abe if there's anything they can do immediately. Abe looks thoughtful for a long moment, then gets a really shark-like grin on his face. "Maybe…."

Cut to Helen wearing a bathrobe, coming into her kitchen in the morning. She looks out the window…and there's a food truck stopped in her driveway. She pulls a coat on over her robe and goes out--two more trucks have pulled up while she does this. Driver of the first truck asks her where they park. Another truck pulls up behind the others. Behind that is a black BMW--Abe rolls down the window and waves. Helen directs the trucks to the empty field/yard next to the house. Abe pulls up next to Helen's car and Jo's truck and parks. He and Michelle get out--Abe wearing a total power suit, Michelle in weekend casual.

The case will be easier if the corporation initially sues them for violating the (uninforcible!) contract, rather than them suing to corporation (damn if I know, but it's movie logic). So they're going to sell the trees now, and rounded up some food trucks and whatnot to draw people in.

Cue montage of Jo and Michelle running around helping people set up while Abe and Helen watch from the kitchen table. The table starts out covered in file folders…and slowly gains coffee cups and plates of cinnamon rolls. It becomes increasingly clear here that Abe and Helen are becoming as close as Jo and Michelle.

Everything gets set up and a very urban, very motley crowd appears--tats and studs and multiracial couples and LGBTQ parents and everything--and everyone is having a wonderful time eating funnel cake and choosing their tree so Jo and a bunch of rainbow-haired elves can cut it for them. At which point someone shows up from the corporation (maybe with a sheriff's deputy?) and starts yelling at Helen, who's running checkout. And suddenly Abe appears from the house and you realize why he's wearing that suit on a Saturday….

Cue confrontation and corporate flunky running off with their tail between their legs, blustering about suing. Cue Jo kissing Michelle. Cue Helen walking over and putting a hand on Abe's shoulder and smiling at her.

I want the lawyers to be the heroes because they are lawyers and know the law. I want a lesbian who lives in the country with her mother. I want urbanites to turn out as a community to help someone who isn't even part of their community. I want Michelle to keep working at her high-power job, loving Christmas and grieving her mother.
