There have been a great deal of questions regarding the Mijac catalog and reports in the press of it moving to Sony/ATV. Below is an email from Co-Executor John Branca to Jeff Jampol, GM of the MJ Online team, clarifying some of what has been publicized through various media outlets.

"Jeff:

I understand that you are being asked a lot of questions about Mijac.

Yes, there is a matching right that Michael granted to Sony/ATV but they only get to administer the catalog for a limited term AND only if they agree to unprecedented favorable terms. We will not relinquish ultimate control and ownership to anyone. We have favorably refinanced the loans on Mijac which will be paid off and the catalog WILL absolutely be passed to Michael's children as long as we have anything to say about it.

Sony/ATV is a great company and the Estate owns half of it but no one, not even Sony/ATV, will ever own Mijac while John McClain and I remain in charge.

The current Sony team is the one Michael chose to work with on the Thriller 25 release and they are good partners. As stated in the recent court filings, they worked with us to refinance the burdensome debt that had been placed on Michael's interest in Sony/ATV to very favorable terms, an important achievement which insures that Mijac and Michael’s masters remain secure for the benefit of Michael's children for years to come.

I would appreciate your sharing this with the fans that are asking questions.

Thanks – John

Michael Jackson News / Back to June 2009. MJ News. The other side

The number of Jackson tracks being listened to on the internet radio Last FM leaped following his death

Within a few hours of the news of Jackson's death, his 1982 album Thriller was the No. 1 album on iTunes. Several of his discs were also in the top 10 of the digital store.


I am not sure if this side and perspective of the "news" related to MJ´s death have been posted already. In any case, during my "research" I came back to point 0 in order to understand any missing link within the investigation.

This two articles are very interesting, imo, regarding the phenomeom of Breaking News and how those spread online.

The same way that MJ death news were announced could work, may be, when MJ comes back. Internet as a media tool is very powerful, no doubt about it, but what about having concrete proof of a true event taking place?

The articles lead the way to other articles related to the internet media phenomenom, something I found very interesting considering that Michael Jackson was already more worth alive than dead just from the very 1st twitter message announcing that a call to 911 was made to save Michael Jackson´s life.

Michael Jackson's death and who to believe online

I still remember the day Mr. Arseneau wheeled the school's (possibly the school's only) top-loading VHS tape player into the class. He had something special to show us.

I don't remember the date, but Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever aired March 25, 1983, so this screening of Michael Jackson's performance of Billie Jean probably took place late in the school year, as a special treat for us students.

I just watched it again on YouTube. Jackson's first moonwalk, and the crowd's reaction to it, gave me chills all over again.

It's cliche already to say that Jackson's death is one of those "where were you when" moments, but here's where I was, and I think a lot of people will have similar stories.

I first heard that Michael Jackson had been taken to hospital on Twitter, from @BreakingNews, which cited TMZ.com. The celebrity gossip blog was also the first to declare that Jackson had died.

The chatter on Twitter was already pretty intense after the news of his hospitalization broke, but it exploded with that first announcement of his death. There were thousands of tweets mentioning Michael Jackson posted every minute. Twitter, Wikipedia and even Google groaned under the pressure of so many people looking for information on the pop star's condition. Many people accepted the TMZ report as the truth, but some were skeptical, saying they would wait for a more reputable source before believing the Twitter rumours.

Here in the newsroom, we were trying to find another report to confirm that he had died, but the wires, Associated Press and Reuters, were already filing stories with TMZ.com as their source. This was a make-or-break moment for TMZ's credibility, said people in the newsroom. When the Los Angeles Times' breaking news blog, L.A. Now., updated saying Jackson was in a coma, that credibility was in doubt.

OK! Magazine filed a story on its website that appeared to independently confirm Jackson's death, but it relied heavily on TMZ.com for its information. The first independent confirmation from a main-stream media source was on L.A. Now, citing law enforcement and city officials. With that report, other news websites — including BBC News, CNN and CBC News — were satisfied and posted their tweets, alerts and stories.

So, as is often the case lately, the news broke on Twitter and blogs. Does that relegate traditional news outlets to the role of following and fact-checking what's happening in social media? People are always looking for reliable sources, and reputation goes a long way online. TMZ.com did a lot for its reputation with the Jackson story, and it's certainly a blog that knows its beat and does its own reporting, even if that reporting consists of following celebs, both physically and on Twitter.

It's hard to beat @BreakingNews in terms of speed. When Twitter's servers are working at full capacity, it is simply the fastest information dispersal medium there is. Unless you're there when it happens or watching it live on TV, you're likely to hear about it first on Twitter.

But both blogs and Twitter have a credibility problem. On another celebrity gossip blog, Perez Hilton, upon hearing that Jackson had been taken to hospital, speculated that he was "either lying or making himself sick" to avoid performing in his comeback concert. He later removed the speculation from the blog post.

And disinformation spreads as quickly as truth on Twitter. A fake news article saying Jackson had died of a drug overdose circulated on Twitter. False rumours that Jeff Goldblum and Harrison Ford both died while filming in New Zealand are still making the rounds. An Australian entertainment TV reporter went to air with the "news" of Goldblum's death.

(It turns out the same cliff that had "claimed" Goldblum's life was also responsible for the earlier "deaths" of Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise. See Snopes.com for the full history of this internet-spread cut-and-paste obit.)

It's not Twitter's fault that it's being used to spread falsehoods. It pretty easy to give nonsense the illusion of credibility in a tweet: just put "RT @cnnbrk:" in front of it. So it's up to individuals to check sources, follow links and make sure what they're reading is the truth.



How Michael Jackson's death shut down Twitter, brought chaos to Google... and 'killed off' Jeff Goldblum

The internet came alive like never before as people around the world logged on to follow the stunning news of Michael Jackson's death.

The story created such a surge in online traffic that Google returned an 'error message' for searches of the singer's name as it assumed it was under attack.

And just seconds after the story broke on the American entertainment website TMZ.com, messages or 'Tweets' about the singer on the micro-blogging site Twitter doubled, leading to a temporary shutdown of the site.
TMZ

TMZ.com was the first to break the story that Michael Jackson had had a cardiac arrest

TMZ.com stole a march on traditional media outlets with its scoop that Jackson had died from a heart attack two hours before it was confirmed by the more 'reputed' sources of The LA Times and Associated Press.

Confusion reigned for several hours in newsrooms about whether Michael Jackson was in a coma or perhaps had already passed away - although some bloggers suggested the story was a hoax.

The 24-hour news services provided by Sky and BBC were forced to credit TMZ for their most up-to-date information.

American gossip blogger Perez Hilton wrote: '(Jackson) pulled a similar stunt when he was getting ready for his big HBO special in '95 when he collapsed at the rehearsal!

'Either he's lying or making himself sick, but we're curious to see if he's able to go on. Get your money back, ticket holders!'
How news of Jackson's death spread around the Internet:

Scroll down for a timeline of events...

Rumours abounded as major news channels were reluctant to run the story with TMZ.com as the only source.

Despite breaking stories such as Mel Gibson's anti-Semitic rant during a drunk driving arrest, the website is viewed by many as salacious and lacking credibility.

CNN waited for the coroner's confirmation before it stated Michael Jackson was dead, despite being owned by Time Warner, the same company as TMZ.

Harvey Levin, managing director of TMZ said: 'No matter what they say, people know we broke the story. That's how competitors handle it. There's no issue about our credibility.

'We were getting calls from everyone under the sun, established news operations, asking, "Are you sure?" That's such an odd question. We would not have published it if it were not true.'

The number of Jackson tracks being listened to on the internet radio Last FM leaped following his death

Internet users however had no such qualms with the news source and turned to Twitter to spread the story.

By 10.30pm, Jackson-based Twitter traffic had risen to 12.26 per cent and peaked at 11.30pm with 22.61 per cent of all messages dedicated to the star. Nine of the ten most popular topics on Twitter were dedicated to the tragic king of pop by this time.

 



Twitter co-founder Biz Stone said: 'We saw an instant doubling of tweets per second the moment the story broke.

'It is the biggest jump in tweets per second since the U.S. presidential election.'

The Mail Online saw traffic double between 10pm and 12pm.

Meanwhile, computers running Google's news section interpreted the fusillade of 'Michael Jackson' requests as an automated attack.

As a defence mechanism, it responded to requests for information about Michael Jackson with squiggly letters known as a 'captcha.'

Just as online ticket buyers regularly do to complete their purchases, the Michael Jackson searchers had to enter the letters correctly to see Google's new results.
Demi Moore

Demi Moore was one of the earliest celebrities to post a message after reports the singer had died

On YouTube, traffic flowed to music videos of Jackson, while thousands posted videos of themselves sharing their thoughts on the legendary pop star.

Others were using Facebook to organise vigils and celebrations of Jackson. One in San Francisco with nearly 50 confirmed guests hoped to recreate the Thriller dance.

Within a few hours of the news of Jackson's death, his 1982 album Thriller was the No. 1 album on iTunes. Several of his discs were also in the top 10 of the digital store.

Celebrities and fans alike posted a deluge of tributes on Twitter - significantly most of these came after the LA Times and the Associated Press had confirmed Michael Jackson's passing.

Well-known Twitter fan Demi Moore wrote: 'I am greatly saddened for the loss of both Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson. Especially for their children.'

Meanwhile another web hoax triggered false reports that American actor Jeff Goldblum had also died in a tragic fall while filming a movie in New Zealand.

It was suggested that Harrison Ford, who was working with Goldblum on a movie called Morning Glory, may have also met an untimely demise.

Unfortunately, an Australian entertainment reporter Richard Wilkins relayed the news of Goldblum's supposed death on Channel Nine's Today show.

Harrison Ford

Australian media reported Jeff Goldblum's (left) death last night following internet rumours he had fallen off a cliff. It was also suggested that Harrison Ford had died

This caused a flurry of calls to New Zealand police forcing Inspector Kerry Watson to issue a statement:  'Police at Kerikeri are receiving phone calls regarding a person falling from a cliff at Kauri Cliff,' she said.

'There is no such incident and police have no information to provide'.

Despite this, the viral was picked up by Twitter and spread like wildfire. The internet rumour became so popular that actor Kevin Spacey felt obliged to check if it was true.

He wrote on his Twitter page: 'Jeff Goldblum is alive and well. I just spoke to his manager. Stop these stupid rumors.'

Charities / Preventing bullying
« on: November 05, 2010, 07:39:44 AM »
This is a blog I wrote.
 
Don´t be a victim


How to  recognize a bully

"All cruelty springs from weaknes"
(Seneca, 4BC-AD65)....

Never suffer in silence. No matter how popular a bully seems, you do not have to handle him alone, I´m here to help you.


Bullying is a form of abuse. It comprises repeated acts over time that involves a real or perceived imbalance of power with the more powerful individual or group abusing those who are less powerful. The power imbalance may be social power and/or physical power. The victim of bullying is sometimes referred to as a target. Bullying can occur in any context in which human beings interact with each other....
Bullying can happen anywhere, at any time, to anyone. It's not just a school or teenage problem. You can be bullied in lots of other places.

Even adults get bullied. So it's very important to learn how to combat bullying

I am going to lead this article in to the awareness of cyber-bullying


Most bullying is traceable to one person, male or female - bullying is not a gender issue. Bullies are often clever people (especially female bullies) but you can be clever too.


The serial bully appears to lack insight into his or her behaviour and seems to be oblivious to the crassness and inappropriateness thereof, however, it is more likely that the bully knows what they are doing but elects to switch off the moral and ethical considerations by which normal people are bound. If the bully knows what they are doing, they are responsible for their behaviour and thus liable for its consequences to other people.


Their .. Power over people

The serial bully is able to exert a hold over people for a variety of reasons
Targets are disempowered such that they become dependent on the bully to allow them to get through each day without their life being made hell.

The serial bully is often able to bewitch an emotionally needy colleague into supporting them; this person then becomes the bully's spokesperson and advocate. How people can be so easily and repeatedly taken in by the bully's glib charm and constant lying is a mystery. Psychopaths are especially adept at conning people in this manner.


The medical profile:


Antisocial Personality Disorder (APD)
Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD)
Paranoid Personality Disorder (PPD)
Borderline Personality Disorder



Do you think you have been a target? Read more:

Bullies often act out because they feel they have no control over their own lives; they bully in an attempt to take control.

Ignoring bullies do not make them stop. Intervention and awareness can end the harassment. Bullies thrive on the reactions of their victims, and ignoring them can make them step up their efforts.

If you are being bullied, is there anything you can do to stop it? The answer is YES, but the methods don't always work: All bullies are different, and many are very unpredictable.

1st, don't let yourself become a victim.

Fighting back against a bully will only escalate the situation; most of the time, that is exactly what he wants you to do. Arguing with him is usually frustrating, impossible or dangerous, especially if the person is impaired by drugs.

If ignoring just doesn't work, reply in a non-threatening or insulting manner. This takes the fun out of the taunting for the bully ....

In any case, ignoring is the best solution. Consider that this individuals are mentally sick....

The next level would be to address the situation legally to avoid other future victims
Some situations are more serious and will require intervention by other people. In this case you need to tell someone else about it. Go to an older person you can trust: your parent or a friend's parent…Keep telling people until you find someone who will deal with the situation.

No one deserves to be bullied. You are a great person and you are loved, so put an end to the bullying now. Don't hide, speak out and tell someone!


Get to know a bully: Patterns of recognition


The bully is a control freak and has a compulsive need to control everyone and everything you say, do, think and believe in their presence - but aggressively maintains the right to talk about anything they choose; serial bullies despise anyone who enables others to see through their deception and their mask of sanity.

  is adept at creating conflict between those who would otherwise collate incriminating information about them

  displays a compulsive need to criticise whilst simultaneously refusing to value, praise and acknowledge others, their achievements, or their existence ....

  shows a lack of joined-up thinking with conversation that doesn't flow and arguments that don't hold water

  undermines and destroys anyone who the bully perceives to be an adversary, a potential threat, or who can see through the bully's mask

  is quick to discredit and neutralise anyone who can talk knowledgeably about antisocial or sociopathic behaviours

  may pursue a vindictive vendetta against anyone who dares to held them accountable, perhaps using others' resources and contemptuous of the damage caused to other people and organisations in pursuance of the vendetta ....

  is also quick to belittle, undermine, denigrate and discredit anyone who calls, attempts to call, or might call the bully to account ....

  gains gratification from denying people what they are entitled to

  is highly manipulative, especially of people's perceptions and emotions

  poisons peoples' minds by manipulating their perceptions

  when called upon to share or address the needs and concerns of others, responds with impatience, irritability and aggression

  is arrogant, haughty, high-handed, and a know-all

  often has an overwhelming, unhealthy, narcissistic, attention-seeking need to portray themselves as the right person, in contrast to their behaviour and treatment of others; the bully sees nothing wrong with their behaviour and chooses to remain oblivious to the discrepancy between how they like to be seen and how they are seen by others

  is mean-spirited, officious, and often unbelievably petty

  is mean, and untrustworthy

  is greedy, selfish, a parasite and an emotional vampire

  is always a taker and never a giver

  is convinced of their superiority and has an overbearing belief in their qualities of leadership but cannot distinguish between leadership (maturity, decisiveness, assertiveness, co-operation, trust, integrity) and bullying (immaturity, impulsiveness, aggression, manipulation, distrust, deceitfulness) ....

  often fraudulently claims facts that never happened to create alliances....

  is constantly imposing on others a false reality made up of distortion and fabrication....

  is self-opinionated and displays arrogance, audacity, a superior sense of entitlement and sense of invulnerability and untouchability....

  is unusually skilled in being able to anticipate what people want to hear and then saying it plausibly....

  cannot be trusted or relied upon....

  fails to fulfil commitments....

  is emotionally retarded with an arrested level of emotional development; whilst language and intellect may appear to be that of an adult, the bully displays the emotional age of child.....

  is emotionally immature and emotionally untrustworthy....

  exhibits unusual and inappropriate attitudes to sexual matters, sexual behaviour and bodily functions.


More patterns and resume:

    * has a vindictive nature - only the current target sees both sides.
    * is a convincing, compulsive liar and when called to account, will make up anything spontaneously to fit their needs at that moment.
    * relies on mimicry to convince others that they are a "normal" human being but their words, writing and deeds are hollow, superficial and glib.
    * displays a great deal of certitude and self-assuredness to mask their insecurity.
    * excels at deception
    * exhibits unusual inappropriate attitudes to sexual matters or sexual behaviour.
    * displays a compulsive need to criticise whilst simultaneously refusing to acknowledge, value and praise others.
    * when called upon to share or address the needs and concerns of others, responds with impatience, irritability and aggression.
    * often has an overwhelming, unhealthy and narcissistic need to portray themselves as the right person, in contrast to their behaviour and treatment of others; the bully is oblivious to the discrepancy between how they like to be seen (and believe they are seen), and how they are actually seen....
    * has an overbearing belief in their qualities of leadership but cannot distinguish between leadership (maturity, decisiveness, assertiveness, trust and integrity) and bullying (immaturity, impulsiveness, aggression, distrust and deceitfulness).
    * when called to account, immediately and aggressively denies everything, then counter-attacks with distorted or fabricated criticisms and allegations; if this is insufficient, quickly feigns victimhood (like making a hospital call..)
    * is also ... aggressive, devious, manipulative, spiteful, vengeful, doesn't listen, can't sustain mature adult conversation, lacks a conscience, shows no remorse, is drawn to power, emotionally cold and flat, humourless, joyless, ungrateful, dysfunctional, disruptive, divisive, rigid and inflexible, selfish, insincere, insecure, immature and deeply inadequate, especially in interpersonal skills.


Focusing on one common type. The Attention-Seeker


Motivation: to be the centre of attention
Mindset: control freak, manipulation, narcissism
Malice: medium to high; when held accountable, very high....

    * emotionally immature
    * selectively friendly - is sickly sweet to some people, rude and offhand to others, and ignores the rest.
    * is cold and aggressive towards anyone who sees them for what they really are or exposes their strategies for gaining attention.
    * manipulative of people's perceptions, but in an amateur and childish manner.
    * sycophantic, fawning, toadying
    * everything is a drama, usually a poor-me drama.
    * prefers not to solve problems in own life so that they can be used and re-used for gaining sympathy and attention.
    * capitalises on issues and uses them as a soapbox for gaining attention.
    * exploits others' suffering and grief as a vehicle for gaining attention.
    * misappropriates others' statements.
    * excusitis, makes excuses for everything.
    * shows a lot of indignation, especially when challenged.
    * lots of self-pity creating a victim of him/her self.
    * often as miserable as sin, apart from carefully constructed moments of charm when in the act of deceiving.
    * demanding of others
    * easily provoked.
    * feigns victimhood when held accountable, claiming they're the one being bullied and harassed.
    * presents as a false victim when outwitted.
    * may feign exclusion, isolation or persecution.
    * malicious
    * constantly tries and will do almost anything to be in the spotlight.
    * the focus of their life is to be the centre of attention.




Never suffer in silence. No matter how popular a bully seems, you do not have to handle him alone, I´m here to help you.

Charities / Cats and Dogs. Organizations worldwide.
« on: November 04, 2010, 05:44:59 AM »
Animals can suffer and feel pain. There is, however, inadequate protection for vast numbers of animals in many parts of the world. Animals continue to suffer needlessly due to intentional and unintentional cruelty, ignorance and neglect.

There is an urgent need for an international commitment to protect animals and their welfare. Such a commitment would inspire political leaders, organisations and individuals to treat animals better and will be the beginning of the end of animal cruelty across the world. It is our responsibility to ensure that animals are given the protection they deserve and that the indisputable link between animal welfare, the protection of people and the planet is recognised.

Achieving such a commitment in the form of a Universal Declaration on Animal Welfare (UDAW) is a vital springboard to changes in policies and legislation, improve enforcement and inspire positive attitudes towards animals in every corner of the world. Achieving this at the United Nations will create the required pressure for governments to put in place firm laws and enforcement for animal welfare

# There are around 1 billion stray cats and dogs in the world. They are sometimes feared and persecuted by people terrified of catching diseases like rabies. Local authorities often have no laws regarding the humane treatment of such animals, so poisoning, shooting and electrocution, which often cause slow and painful death, are common.

The Universal Declaration on Animal Welfare (UDAW) is a proposed inter-governmental agreement to recognise that animals are sentient, to prevent cruelty and reduce suffering, and to promote standards on the welfare of animals such as farm animals, companion animals, animals in scientific research, draught animals, wildlife animals and animals in recreation.[1]

It is proposed that a UDAW be adopted by the United Nations. If endorsed by the UN (as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was) the UDAW would be a non-binding set of principles that acknowledges the importance of the sentience of animals and human responsibilities towards them. The principles were designed to encourage and enable national governments to introduce and improve animal protection legislation and initiatives.

It has been argued that a UDAW is consistent with, and could help secure the achievement of, the UN Millennium Development Goals.[2][3]

This should not be confused with the Universal Declaration on Animal Rights (UDAR).

Preamble

Considering
that Life is one, all living beings having a common origin and having diversified in the course of the evolution of the species;

Considering
that all living beings possess natural rights, and that any animal with a nervous system has specific rights;

Considering
that the contempt for, and even the simple ignorance of these natural rights cause serious damage to nature and lead man to commit crimes against animals;

Considering
that the coexistence of species implies a recognition by the human species of the right of other animal species to live;

Considering
that the respect of humans for animals is inseparable from the respect of man for another man.

IT IS HEREBY PROCLAIMED:

Article 1
All animals are born equal and they have the same rights to existence.

Article 2
a) Every animal has the right to be respected.
b) Man, like the animal species, cannot assume the right to exterminate other animals or to exploit them, thereby violating this right. He should use his conscience for the service of the animals.
c) Every animal has the right to consideration, good treatment and the protection of man.
   

Article 3
a) No animal should be submitted to bad treatment or cruel actions.
b) If the death of an animal is necessary, this should be sudden and without fear or pain.

Article 4
a) All animals belonging to a wild species have the right to live free in their natural environment, and have the right to reproduce.

In the U.S, some 450 organizations sponsoring projects that commemorate the date October 16th.


Kids Against Hunger (Kids Against Hunger), a Minnesota organization that relies on the participation of children for food packaging that are sent to hungry people in 40 countries, urged its 80 branches to organize events to mark the World Day Food. The aim is that each site participating pack 100,000 meals.

Medical Discussion / Cardiac arrest does not equal to death

Cardiac arrest

Therapeutic hypothermia is a medical treatment that lowers a patient's body temperature in order to help reduce the risk of the ischemic injury to tissue following a period of insufficient blood flow.

    The data concerning hypothermia’s neuroprotectant qualities following cardiac arrest can be best summarized by two studies published in the New England Journal Medicine. The first of these studies conducted in Europe focused on people who were resuscitated 5–15 minutes after collapse. Patients participating in this study experienced spontaneous return of circulation (ROSC) after an median time of 22 minutes (normothermia group) and 21 minutes (hypothermia group). Hypothermia was initiated within 105 minutes after ROSC. Subjects were then cooled over a 24 hour period, with a target temperature of 32–34 °C (90–93 °F). 55% of the 137 patients in the hypothermia group experienced favorable outcomes, compared with only 39% in the group that received standard care following resuscitation.[2] Notably, complications between the two groups did not differ substantially. This data was supported by another similarly run study that took place simultaneously in Australia. In this study 49% of the patients treated with hypothermia following cardiac arrest experienced good outcomes, compared to only 26% of those who received standard care.[6]

    One report suggests that fewer than 10% of the 300,000 Americans who suffer cardiac arrest each year survive "long enough to leave the hospital" despite increased use of such measures as "faster emergency squads, deployment of automated defibrillators at airports and other public places, and improvements in cardiopulmonary resuscitation techniques."[1] But of 140 patients since 2006 treated at the Minneapolis Heart Institute, 52% have survived by using therapeutic hypothermia.[1]



    Research on induced hypothermia in patients who have had out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is just now being published in nursing journals

I follow some science channels which I find very interesting. Looking back at my updates, I remember watching the videos and making notes about them because I thought about the possibility that science and money could give adding an extra view to the "hoax", plus, I find them singnificant to understand other concepts.

Please, take your time to watch the videos and tell me what you think.
The second video made me think of the O2 guy discussion since we got the hand as the main subject.

My intention is to link a scientific/ technical explanation to some of our questions regarding "live" events.
