Another reason to hate Crowdstrike: it seems like nearly everybody who had to cancel their doctor's appointments the day the computers at DFCI got bricked rescheduled for one week later, which was yesterday, meaning the pharmacy had double the workload from both its normal flow of work and also last Friday's getting pushed back. Man, was yesterday a bad day to be a pharmtech at DFCI.

Given that they are in the news again....I couldn't help myself.

Defense for Children International-Palestine writes:

Rafat Omar Ahmad Khamayseh, 15, was shot by Israeli special forces while leaving his grandfather’s house in Jenin refugee camp around 7:30 p.m. on September 19, according to documentation collected by Defense for Children International - Palestine. As he left the house, Rafat saw Israeli special forces exiting three Palestinian licensed cars and surround the home of the father of a Palestinian man wanted for arrest. Rafat fled, yelling, “Special forces! Special forces!” One Israeli soldier chased Rafat and shot him in the abdomen from a distance of 10 meters (33 feet).    

While nearly all of the reports on the Jenin incident identify Khamayseh as being 22 years old, photos indicate that he probably really was 15.

And that he was not exactly an innocent child.

Yet even if we take DCI-P at their word that all he was doing was warning terrorists that the IDF was there, that makes him legally a militant and a legitimate military target.

The US Department of Defense Law of War Manual (revised July 2023) says that a civilian is considered to be taking a direct part in hostilities when he or she is "acting as a guide or lookout for combatants conducting military operations." 

The ICRC agrees. In its document "Interpretive Guidance on the Notion of Direct Participation in Hostilities Under International Humanitarian Law" it says,  "a person serving as one of several lookouts during an ambush would certainly be taking a direct part in hostilities although his contribution may not be indispensable to the causation of harm."

This is exactly what DCI-P is admitting that Khamayseh was doing. His warning endangered the Israeli forces and therefore he became a combatant and legitimate target, no matter what his age.

mayhaps snom or candella facts?

candella facts

so its time for snom

- holds a lot of bugs in their room which freaks out the rest of their family. Candella encourages them to not get rid of them just because they don't like it.

- They've attempted ice skating before because their siblings like it, but failed miserably.

- I don't think ive said this before so I'll just say they're transneutral ^_^

- Snom was a name given to them by the DFCI and it just stuck. They have no complaints.

- Besides DFCI work, they sell off pinned (deceased) insects to buyers. Its not very lucrative so they have to get a second job.

Halfway Point Plus Red Sox!

The PMC is only 21 days away and I have crossed the halfway mark to my $12,000 goal!

I am confident that, with your help, I will get much closer to my goal as the date approaches.

In the meantime, tonight I will be attending my first PMC at Fenway Park event!

The PMC is the official charity of the Red Sox Foundation thanks in large part to the late Larry Lucchino.

In the words of Billy Starr, Founder and Executive Director of the PMC:

"…in [the] PMC world, there are few, if any, whose role allowed for such an oversized impact. Larry spoke at PMC Opening Ceremonies in 1995 (when he was with the San Diego Padres) and recognized the PMC’s potential immediately. When the Henry, Werner, Lucchino troika bought the team in 2002, Larry arranged for me to meet with John and Tom. My pitch was essentially: “The PMC is doing $15 million without you… imagine what we could raise with you.” Larry secured the sponsorship.

In 2003, the PMC signed a 3-year, $2.1 million sponsorship deal with the Red Sox. It was transformative – not just the money – but it being the first time – ever – a crown jewel sports franchise in the USA underwrote a bike event. Not a hospital, a bike event! Larry made that happen and the rest is history. He was smart, tough, fun, and deeply heartfelt. He had every reason to be, as a cancer survivor treated at Dana-Farber by PMC’s own Lee Nadler (who introduced the two of us). Larry always understood his obligation, and opportunity, to forward cancer research and treatment, given his Red Sox position and, soon thereafter, the Chairman of the Jimmy Fund as well as the co-chair of an earlier capital campaign (with current DFCI Chairman Josh Bekenstein). We were all the beneficiaries: from the Red Sox championships to a future filled with increasing hope for anybody receiving a cancer diagnosis. Larry was at the forefront of that battle as well. He will be terribly missed."

So at tonight's annual PMC Night at Fenway, PMC Riders who have survived cancer will be parading around the field before the game on their bikes. The PMC Logo will also be unveiled in its prominent position on the green Monster.

We have our commemorative hats and are very excited about tonight :-)

More than 50 research papers published by the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI), a prestigious teaching center affiliated with Harvard Medical School, are under review this week following online claims that their images and data had been manipulated.

Sholto David, a British molecular biologist and blogger, wrote a post for the independent research integrity blog For Better Science on January 2, in which he accuses researchers at the institute of “data forgery.” The long and at times scathing blog post featured images such as protein bands, data plots and PCR results from the papers, which David alleges were manipulated via copy and paste or Photoshop. The studies in question had been published between 1999 and 2017.

Loi incendies : "On ne peut plus vivre comme avant autour des forêts", salue le président de la DFCI Aquitaine

Les députés ont adopté, en première lecture, la loi incendies dans la nuit de ce mercredi à ce jeudi. Elle prévoit notamment l'interdiction de fumer en forêt quand le risque de feux est élevé. L'association de défense des forêts contre l'incendie en Aquitaine demande aussi des condamnations "plus fortes pour les pyromanes".

Sylvia is honestly living my dream with her hoodie. The eeveelutions is like my favorite group. (#Eevee lover)

So if you don’t mind, may we see some Sylvia facts please?

sylv

- axe/radar was a gift from doc, and she cherishes it dearly. she'd go crazy abt objectum i feel /j

- if the pokemon trainer thing doesn't work out she'd wanna enter the food truck business. there is no plan c after that. it used to be joining a circus but she was talked out of that.

- despite working for the DFCI currently, that has never been in the cards for a full time career unlike Doc or Vincent.

- totally a furry, yes sylveon IS her fursona. finds suits uncomfortable to wear, so she prefers hoodies/onesies.

- besides Galar, where she was born, Sylvia has visited Paldea, Kalos, and Unova
