Secret details about Michael Jackson's death! Celebrity news will always be used in criminal ploys because scammers know that many people love gossip. The recent death of Michael Jackson is already spawning bad emails that contain malware in their attachments, according to several security firms, including Sophos. Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant with Sophos, predicted immediately following Jackson's death that cyber criminals would soon start to take advantage of the news to pull off scams. Typically, malicious Facebook and Twitter messages relating to celebrity news contain links that claim to have "secret" information. In the case of Jackson, Cluley said he has heard some of the lures include promises of songs by the King of Pop that have never been heard before or new details and pictures of Jackson's death. However, the link to the information then typically prompts the user to download an update of Adobe Flash. Of course, instead of an update, users end up with a bot Trojan or other piece of malware installed secretly on their computer. "Perhaps one of the most famous of these is Koobface," said Cluley. "There have been many iterations of that designed to steal information from your computer. Once they have compromised your computer, they can use it to send spam, install spyware, steal your identity, or launch a denial of service attack." The Jackson death is only one example, said Cluley. Past celebrity scams that have used this ploy included one that had the headline "Paris Hilton tosses dwarf on street." .

The Advantages of Music Publishing for Songwriters Within the Nigerian Regulatory Framework1 1. Introduction the Curtains Are U
Intellectual Property 20th August 2021 Franklin Okoro The Advantages of Music Publishing for Songwriters within the Nigerian Regulatory Framework1 1. Introduction The curtains are usually drawn to behold the performance of a music artist/singer who, in most cases, thrives greatly on the lyrical composition of a songwriter who is backstage and mostly unacknowledged. An artist can also be a songwriter but in this case, reference is being made to an independent songwriter who is not doubling as a vocalist. This article seeks to explore the avenues through which a songwriter not only retains total ownership and control of his original work but can capitalize on certain legitimate channels to preserve ownership and make financial gains through Music Publishing. Music publishing can be explored in two areas: (i) sound recording and, (ii) song-writing. The latter category will be the major focus of this article. 2. Background Music publishing is the act of commercially utilizing the works of songwriters by making these works available to the public. This could be carried out by the writers themselves or by a designated representative or administrator, i.e., a music publisher. The history of music publishing dates back to over a century ago when mechanical methods were developed for printing sheet music, and publishing sheet music used to be a publisher’s primary activity and source of revenue - a situation that has since changed. Due to the technological advancements in the production and consumption of music over the years, music publishers have been forced to change their long-established business model from selling a product (like ‘sheet music’), over which they had complete control, to managing 1 Franklin Okoro, Associate Intern, SPA Ajibade & Co., Abuja, NIGERIA.

The Role of Clinical Pharmacology in the Trial of Conrad Murray for the Death of Michael Jackson
The Role of Clinical Pharmacology in the Trial of Conrad Murray for the Death of Michael Jackson Steven L. Shafer, MD Professor of Anesthesia, Stanford University Adjunct Professor of Bioengineering and Therapeutics Sciences, UCSF Editor-in-Chief, Anesthesia & Analgesia Michael Jackson died at approximately noon on June 25, 2009. Dr. Conrad Murray, a cardiologist, was attending to Michael Jackson at the time of his death. The following facts are not in dispute. 1. Conrad Murray had been administering propofol every night for more than 2 months to help Jackson sleep. 2. Murray had no monitoring, no infusion pump, no resuscitation equipment, and kept no records. 3. Murray left Jackson to make phone calls. His phone records document 45 minutes of calls. 4. The last call apparently ended when Murray found that Jackson had arrested. 5. Murray delayed calling 911 for 20 minutes. 6. Murray told paramedics, and physicians at UCLA, that he gave Jackson just 4 mg of lorazepam. He never mentioned propofol. 7. On autopsy Michael Jackson had anesthetic levels of propofol in his blood, as well as lorazepam and lidocaine. Murray was found guilty of manslaughter on November 7th. The clinical pharmacology of propofol and lorazepam figured prominently in the trial. Going into the trial, Paul White and I submitted our expert reviews of the pharmacology of propofol. Our written opinions, which were submitted to the court months in advance of the trial, appear on the following pages. The lecture will review how the clinical pharmacology unfolded during the course of the trial. March 8, 2011 J. Michael Flanagan Flanagan, Unger, Grover & McCool 1156 North Brand Blvd.

SFPS was created in 2002 with the aim of continuing and developing the pioneering work of its predecessor organization, the Association for the Study of Caribbean and African Literature in French (ASCALF). SFPS does not seek to impose a monolithic understanding of the ‘postcolonial’ and it consciously aims to appeal to as diverse a range of members as possible, in order to engage in wide-ranging debate on the nature and legacy of colonialism in and beyond the French-speaking world. SFPS encourages work of a transcultural, transhistorical, comparative and interdisciplinary nature. It implicitly seeks to decolonize the term Francophone, emphasizing that it should refer to all cultures where French is spoken (including, of course, France itself), and it encourages a critical reflection on the nature of the cognate disciplines of French Studies, on the one hand, and Anglophone Postcolonial Studies, on the

Mass Choreography and Red Leather Jackets: Michael Jackson and the Art Of
Copyright Eric Busch 2008 1 Mass Choreography and Red Leather Jackets: Michael Jackson and the Art of Cultural Diplomacy Eric Busch Like pretty much everyone, I initially mediated my “Death of Michael Jackson” experience through television. I don’t usually watch cable news, but I felt stunned, uncomprehending—almost embarrassed by the intensity of my own bereavement—it was almost as if I were looking for permission to grieve. But cable news ain’t no fireside chat. The first hours after Jackson’s death were awful, as the network anchors scrambled vainly for newsy details while stumbling through awkward, ad libbed panegyrics. They obviously hadn’t come to work prepared to bury the King of Pop. It must have been like trying to eulogize Santa Claus. It was the Rev. Al Sharpton who ultimately came to their rescue with a hastily-called press conference on the steps of the Apollo Theater in Harlem. With that landmark of African-American music as a backdrop, Sharpton offered up a consumable context for Jackson’s life and work, and the networks gratefully ran with it. This is likely when Sharpton earned his own show on MSNBC. And it’s also Copyright Eric Busch 2008 2 when Michael Jackson, who spent his whole life dancing just beyond the defining grip of race and gender, finally began receiving his due as a racial pioneer. But making Jackson a “race man” also downplays his gendered significance. At Jackson’s memorial service a week or so later, Rev. Sharpton and others credited him for doing the intensely personal work of human relations—of “creating a comfort level” that allowed children from all over the world to connect with one another.

It's Been Six Years Since the Death of Michael Jackson and It Still Seems Like the Association of Death and Michael Jackson Just Doesn't Seem to Go Together
th Celebrating our 55 Anniversary Friday, July 31, 20155 It’s Been Six Years Since The Death of Michael Jackson Written by Robert L. Woodard, “The Wynnefield Barber” Left photo: David Keith known as "Mickey J", a Michael Jackson impersonator (left) Robert Woodard at the Human Family Day Celebration. Top photo: Michael Jackson (left) and Woodard in Woodard’s 1947 Cadillac, when Jackson performed at the Spectrum for his "Off The Wall" Tour. It's been six years since the death of Michael Jackson and it still seems like the association of death and Michael Jackson just doesn't seem to go together. It's like oil and water. They just don't mix. The news of Michael Jackson's death shocked the entire world on June 25, 2009. What a lonely place the earth has become with the absence of this great Human Being. Respect for Human Life is always celebrated with a dance. On June 25, 2009, all around the world I remember cultures everywhere mourning the departure of the man who we knew as the "King of Pop". Just think about it. What do you think this energy was that made Michael Jackson so special? Well I know what it was and so does every person on Earth. Now trying to explain what it was, now that becomes the real task. However, if we try to break it down to the lowest common denominator, I would call it love. The energy of love lives in all Human Beings, but the ability to exercise love for one another in a prejudiced society stunts our growth.
