## <a name="introduction">Introduction</a>

The purpose of this page is to share my medical records, along with commentary, to provide some useful thoughts on how to improve health.

It is also part of my living autobiography, which consists of recordings of various types, constituting evidence, primary source documents of personal history, and history generally. Medical records would be part of a living autobiography and would authenticate the author. Additionally medical records are evidence of the corporeal life of the author, not that there is any other kind of life. This would include the data about the author's body. Things like fingerprints and blood lab results have been included. In conjunction with the Personal Form, bodyweight data and behaviors have also been collected for a period, and can be found here [Personal-form](mattanaws-personal-form.html).

The other living autobiography pages can be found here:

- [Thinking Shares (aka ThoughtStream)](thoughtstream.html)
- [Experience Shares (aka SocialNuggets)](mattanaws-social-nuggets.html)
- [Bodily Shares (aka OpenHealth)](open-health-and-identity.html)
- [Spatial Shares (also Nature Shares)](scenic-nature-videos.html)
- [Learning Shares (also Reading)](reading.html)
- [Writing Shares (also Site History)](site-history-archive.html)

The site is not only to function as a living autobiography, or a way of sharing open information about myself on identity and health: it is also for my own utility, ultimately. I use this site regularly for my own interests. It is also an autobiographical feedback loop as I live. Like everyone else, I'm on my own journey to understand and improve my own health, and I cannot pretend to be knowledgeable enough to understand every detail of my medical records as presented here. I can use my own living autobiography to better understand myself, and improve what I will later record, in my living autobiography. 

Nevertheless, I think it is helpful to include reasons why my results are the way they are, how I could do better, and also to include lessons learned as I gain new information.

This page will be updated periodically as I receive new results, and when I am able to upload information from my complete medical records.

The goal is to be open and transparent, as far as that is possible. Things I don't think would be valuable or reasonable to include may be omitted, although it is my desire to include everything I can.

Something that is omitted now, might be revealed later. By later, I don't mean posthumously either! Although, of course, I don't know when death might happen, so I might not be able to include everything.

<pre><a name="create-a-gap"></a><div class="ui section divider"></div></pre>

## <a name="open-health-and-identity">Open Health and Identity</a>

Below are separate categories of sharing related to either my identity or health information.

### <a name="my-us-government-data-breach-notice">My U.S. Government Data Breach Notice</a>

This is the notice I recieved concerning the government data breach in which I was impacted. Notice it says my fingerprints and background were stolen. The same notice was sent to my now ex-wife claiming some of her details were also stolen. This was from when I was working for the President and First Lady of the United States, and other government representatives, at ASPA, in the United States Department of Health and Human Services.

<pre><a name="create-a-gap"></a><div class="ui section divider"></div></pre>

### <a name="my-fingerprints">My Fingerprints</a>

These fingerprints went along with an application for the purchase of a silencer for a .22 handgun, in the State of Alaska.

One might wonder why I would be willing to share my fingerprints, like my retinas below. After working

for the federal government, and getting a security clearance after providing background information, there was an OPM security breach. I was informed that both myself and my now ex-wife were part of the breach and that any information provided was stolen. After this, and after having worked in technology related to digital evidence (as Chief Architect), and security, I realized that much that we consider important for protection in security involves illusions. 


#### Original remarks from when I first posted these prints.

These are my prints and details submitted in relation to purchase of a suppressor/silencer for a .22 LR handgun.

While the purchase is not exactly related to health, the recording of the prints and having a record that is a sort of medical record does relate. This is not held as an EHR but is a health record of sorts, that I will maintain as a health record. It is interesting that I could not simply share this as a medical record already completed. Are my other finger prints not suitable, and are they not, the same?

I am open with sharing and contest views that sharing will result in harm that the perpetrators are not themselves responsible for.

Furthermore, those agencies involved in using certain information for validation are required to secure, not I, or you. Otherwise we are taking on the burden of self-security without any knowledge of the actual risks.

An example case was the invention of “identity theft”. Identity theft did not always exist as a concept and only arose about 20 years ago. Now it is commonplace, yet it is still a questionable term. That it was created, and then disseminated such that it became familiar, and a market opened, does not mean it is real or as risky as portrayed. Consider that before it was not considered a risk but identity theft would always have been a risk.

When “Identity Theft” was first beginning to be discussed in the news I was suspicious and wondered immediately how any individual would not have recourse if a theft occurred. If a theft occurred, the thief is the one responsible, and organizations holding data need to do what they can do to prevent leakage, and need to find methods of verification that are reliable despite information that could be obtained around the web, even through “hacks”. We’ve heard of some notable hacks of the government and large corporations, but none of us are aware of unreported hacks, and have no idea what data is being sold or is available to engineers maintaining systems. I am a former software architect and am now a management consultant in the software industry, and recognize that no individual could ever truly safeguard, and all insurance necessary, and means of returning funds, and correcting identity issues, cannot rest on the individual.

In any case, enjoy. These are my prints. If anyone wants to validate that this is my website, they can check my prints.

See how there are also other benefits to sharing?

### <a name="my-retinas">My Retinas</a>

Below are my retinal photos, from my optometrist.

I was involved in an OPM breach of the Federal government that leaked all my personal information I had with them for my security clearance, including my retinal photos and my fingerprints, according to the documentation I received [Correction: it may have just been my fingerprints].  

I was also given free identity protection, so I have identity protection, supposedly, just in case anything is done with those documents.

I would share this even if I were not involved in this breach, and these retinal photos were not collected by the Federal Government.

We have been fooled into believing that we need to protect certain pieces of information about ourselves as if our lives were at risk more than if we didn’t. However, I’m of the opinion, again as a former software architect, and current advisor in technology for large enterprise corporations, that personal security needs to be offloaded from the individual. There are many reasons I can provide—for now I’ll just say, I’m only mentioning this much because of “squeaky-wheel” people who complain and try to block personal projects with complaints that amount to first thoughts.

When I purchased the iPhone X I chose to enable the face detection functionality that allows me to unlock my phone by that method instead of my finger print. This technology is very powerful and I was instantly impressed by the speed of the interaction. I hardly notice that my phone needs to unlock before it is ready for use. My personal information is kept with Apple. I do not know at present how to obtain my source facial images, which means I’m at risk of not knowing what information the have about me, or what their engineers have about me, that could be disseminated by them, or disseminated after a breach. If I had this information, it would be a part of my medical identification history, or at least it would be something I could know and understand about myself that is currently locked away. If I had access to these files I could post them to this site, and use them for further verification of my identity by anyone who wants or can use it, and I can also use it as a signature for my work, further confirming the veracity of my writing and my identity.

I will continue to open my identity as I resume my efforts opening my health records here. You may not wish to do the same but I hope you find my shares interesting. We can learn from each other’s health if we share. If you have a reaction against my using my own personal information this way, I hope you consider that I’m not you, and there is no need for me to be concerned about your approach to yourself. However, I am interested in discussion, even if there is disagreement in that conversation.

Enjoy!

### <a name="marriage-certificate">Marriage Certificate</a>

My marriage certificate. I was in a 19 year monogamous relationship before getting divorced in 2018, from November 1998 to January 2018. We considered ourselves "married" the entire period, although we were officially married eleven years.

Now I am entirely celibate and have no intention of remarrying. More about my sexual preferences can be found in my writings on [sexuality](sexuality.html). More on my views concerning relationships can be found in my writings on [relationships](relationships.html).

### <a name="voter-registration">Voter Registration</a>

Below is my voter registration, indicating my Unaffilliated status. I'm open regarding my position of politial independence, and separateness of position. I won't join anyone in any large political stance, thinking that politics is better divided into distinct efforts, which relate to tangible and unambiguous plans, each of which would have different requisite expertise and strategies. There are minds that can relate some of these plans but they would be rare minds, and the minds that join together aren't examples of them, but instead are examples of "bandwagon" or "ad populum" fallicies, manifested in lives. Contrast that with "I'm a republican", or "I'm an [anything that's a political class]".

### <a name="myers-briggs">Myers-Briggs</a>

*Monday, July 4<sup>th</sup>, 2022*,&nbsp;<time>2:51 PM Alaska Time</time>

Below are my Myers-Briggs test results from 2006. 

These results indicate that I am supposedly of the INTP type.

There has been some interest in the Psychology community as to whether the Myers Briggs is a valid test or not, and whether the results and scores carry the meanings that people suppose they do.

I think they do not, but that does not mean there isn't any use at all for the test. However, it might be an example of a fiction that people have trouble containing as such. In other words, once allowed, even if it is known to be false, people will pretend it's true, or there will be some set of people that will be uninformed as to its falsity.

I have an aritcle in preparation to explain how we might better achieve a typology of personality, but am not yet ready to share. In the meantime, here are my results.

### <a name="name-change">Name Change</a>

<br /><img  class="ui huge center image transition visible" src="name-change-court-order-mattanaw-1-web.jpg"><br />

Some may have noticed that the name "Mattanaw" used in this Book and Journal is not an alias name, but my actual name. My legal name is "Mattanaw". Recently, doing a search on a search engine, here was an Artificial Intelligence response stating, that "Mattanaw" is a moniker of "Christopher Matthew Cavanaugh". That is not correct and I'm very open about it. My actual legal name is "Mattanaw", intended as a mononym. It is written on my legal documentation in first and last name as "Mattanaw Mattanaw" which is a redundancy to fulfill expectations of government forms, web sites, and information management systems. That this mistake was made by AI is odd, because this book and journal and this book in particular, have been online and published for many years, and both AI and search engines have taken the content a number of times. This Open Health and Identity book is intended specifically to be open and transparent about my identity and health information, in a way that is highly unusual for members of the public, and this information about my name was shared for *the purpose of* making my identity clear to others.

Here I’m sharing my details concerning my birth and naming, which interestingly, form part of my medical record, and part of my court history.

A change of name is not part of the medical record and is not held in EHR systems. A birth certificate, however, is an identification document relating to birth, which is a health related event. I am not aware of all the details about how birth records are stored, but this birth certificate should tie to my very first medical records, tied to my time in the hospital as an infant, and possibly before that, in my mother’s medical records relating to her pregnancy. This is interesting because it means that her medical records are my medical records too, at least for the period in which she was obtaining care related to my conception and growth. Perhaps, her medical records are my records further back in time, because her health and health conditions relate to my health. For example, if her medical records include anything that would relate to a total health situation that could have influenced my development at conception or in-utero, and beyond, then that’s information I should know about and retain.

Could it be that children should be able to possess their parents full medical records but not the other way around?

This could be something that would influence how parenting is planned, because without an ability to share self with child, it is disputable that the potential parent should never be a parent.

<pre><a name="create-a-gap"></a><div class="ui section divider"></div></pre>

### <a name="the-meaning-of-mattanaw">The Meaning of Mattanaw</a>

The name "Mattanaw" has many meanings at this point, some of which were existing long before name change, some arising to my mind during name change, and some afterwards. Today I am continuing to expand on the meaning of my name that I chose for myself.

Firstly, the name Mattanaw relates to my middle and last names, which are "Matt" from "Matthew", for short, and "Cavanaugh". I simply took "Matt" to be the word's beginning, and changes "anaugh" in "Cavanaugh", pronounced as "Anaw" in my recent family history (Not old history in Ireland), and formed "Mattanaw". So it is a blend of my first and last names. But I was already saying "Mattanaw" before thining more consciously about choosing it this way.

When I was a child in elemenary school, there was a game called Odell's Lake. It was played on the Apple II GS computer. In that games, I learned of the names of various fish, including the Dolly Varden, and Mackinaw Trout. Later growing up, I would call myself a trout, as would my sister, and I would later call myself "Mattanaw Trout". I enjoyed fishing in y youth and especially liked trouts. So I became a verbally enjoyable trout variety, because of the resmblance of the combination of my first and last name blended and the name of this fish.

I was calling myself a Mattanaw Trout for quie a long time. It wasn't until I purchased my domain that I reflected on using it again. I started my Book and Jorunal as a blogging site in 2016/17, but owned the domain for a long time prior. I don't recall when I first procured the domain (although I could find out), but the first backup of my domain from when I was testing some site technology was from 2010. It's been one of my social media names since that time.

In 2016/17 work commenced to build what would become this Book and Journal. I decied to make "Mattanaw" my official screen name, and utilized it across a number of websites hosted by others. "Mattanaw" became my primary profile ID, and I used it for marketing my writingover a number of social media platforms. Some of those platforms for which no updates were made since, show that the name "Mattanaw" is of "Christopher Matthew CavanaugH" but that was before I decided to take my social presence further and make the name my legal name. Spending quite a long time writing in the intelligence communities, where I gained recognition and attention, I decided it was a good time to make the switch, and so I formally changed my name in the State of Alaska's court system to "Mattanaw".

As you can see on the court order provided above, my name change was effective in June 2020. I filed for the name change prior to that. When you file for name change, they publish a change of name to a public record, and it has to remain public for some time (perhaps about 3 months) before the final name change is allowed. This is a method of making it public "by publication" which is used by the court in other areas of law as well. This is a step for the person filing the name change to also show seriousness about the change. Before this was done, however, my name had already been on record in numerous locations and was effectively already a prominent social media name I had apart from my birth name. After this there was a hearing in Anchorage that I attended telephonically in Palmer, Alaska, where my name change was approvved. The court document above is the document I received.

The above origins of the name are not those took more seriously later. One reason for the name change, was to cancel my name that sounded too Christian and definitely had Chrisian origins. I am not and never was a Christian, and I find the relgion to be particularly abhorrent. I planned to speak to the judge about this in court but I do not recall needing this explanation. "Mattanaw" is a name that has a feel closer to a native name, or one that is more natural. Naturalism is important to me, and I consider my philosophy to be one that is naturalistic and actively opposed to myth and supernaturalism. Also, there are some asects of native culture I enjoy and have admired, particularly independence and connection with the land and nature. Peple have mistakenly given up aboriginal status, and I see myself as being aboriginal to wherever I happen to travel, believing also (contrary to tribes), that there is no true aboriginality, and that aboriginals are simply those with the earliest "known" land claims. This reasoning is suspect and I do not disavow my own aboriginalities.

More importantly though, at the time I chose the name for my legal name, I became aware the name also meant "relief". To some other groups I am not a member, it has been defined as "a gift". I am a gifted individual, so that is fitting, but the meaning I prefer more is that of "relief" which is consistent with some earlier writings about trying to increase personal insouciance (from my work Rational Times), which means "carefree". So "carefree" or "relieved", or having "relief". Anti cruelty and personal health and comfort and freedom in comforts are important to me. I want animals and humans to live without cruelties, and to be carefree and have relief themselves. I also see "relief" as a concept related to mentality, being of a mind that is honest, truthful, and disconnected from falsities, superstitions, and poor thinking. Poeple who are logical and think well find relief in their thoughts, and attain wisdom which also is relief. Being unsolved, or having little wisdom, and having poor thinking, and lack of logic, are areas in which one may not be care free, and without such would feel less relief from one's own thinking and efforts.

There are other meanings as well, but for the purpose of openly explaining my identity, work, and change of medical information, I think this is adequate. The name existed in my childhood and teenage years, is derived from my humorous personality and from the sounds already existing in my birth name. The name was used extensively in social media long ago, and I purchased the domain in 2010 showing very early intent. Ten years later I changed my name having more reasons, including the reason that I was getting more successful with the name in social media, making it a good brand perhaps to have, and also because I wanted to separate from any traditions in my name to have m own name. That it is derived from my owld name shows also transparency on my part to make it clear that I did have an earlier name, and that it does relate to my new name. The story of the old name goes on to make clear to others that I have the identity I do, although I focus on the new name. Most of my legal documents including my newest social security number, passport, and other documents show my new name. The new name includes meanings that are consistent with my life and writings, and have figurd into the name of this book and journal. Aptly it is about personally and intellectually having culminations in thought and behavior that lead to a beter life, leading to a more worryless carefree disposition, and a feeling of actualization which is a kind of culminating relief. It also connects with anti-cruelty and my 25 year history of being vegan and vegetarian.

### <a name="new-passport-after-name-change">New Passport After Name Change</a>

*Tuesday, March 8<sup>th</sup>, 2022*

My passport after my name change from Christopher Matthew Cavanaugh to Mattanaw.

I retained my entire full name as my middle name to be sure I can easily make use of both during transition.

I really dislike the photo with the long hair, and I don't even have the long hair any longer.

But it was a fun moment, to have an ID with long hair for the very first time.

### <a name="mensa-lifetime-membership">Mensa Lifetime Membership</a>

Below is my Mensa ID showing my lifetime membership in the High Intelligence community. I have more connections into the High Intelligence community than Mensa, but Mensa lifetime membership is adequate to authenticate gifted intelligence. You can also find me, if you are a member, in either the Mensa International or the American Mensa directories. I'm also a member of Mensa New Zealand on social media and can tagged and accessed there, using my current name "Mattanaw". I can also be mailed at my mensa email, and see that it does not bounce back, although I may not respond: christopher.matthew.cavanaugh@member.mensa.org.

There is more than one Mensa Lifetime Card design since they change. I have more than one. Having more than one further authenticates membership.

### <a name="strong-interest-inventory-results">Strong Interest Inventory Results, from February 25<sup>th</sup>, 2006.</a>

Not only will I be posting results for physiological examinations, I will be posting psychological tests as well, like this copy of the Strong Interest Inventory, and the Myers Briggs, and others I might take in the nearish future.

I think that the Strong Interest Inventory has something to it. I ended up becoming a consultant; a technologist. However, I'm a natural attorney as well. And this very early strong interest inventory suggests that I had quite a lot in common with lawyers. I think I would score differently today. However, I'm in a lawsuit, and I can tell from my experience that I would really like being a lawyer, even today, after I've changed so much.

### <a name="blood-test-results-from-2019">Recent blood test results, from August 8<sup>th</sup>, 2019.</a>

This document has three pages, and scans are shown below. [PDF](mattanaw-blood-test-results-august-8-2019.pdf)

Areas I'm most interested in, are

* **Low creatinine levels.**
  * This indicates that I am consuming and am processing less creatine than what is expected, since creatinine is a waste byproduct of that process. While this may not be problematic, I am an avid weightlifter, and I do want to build muscle mass as efficiently as I can. While I should be producing enough creatine from my consumption of those essential amino acids that will allow me to generate it naturally, I opted to buy vegan creatine from Amazon, from a bulk provider of nutritional supplements. I will be experimenting with various levels of inclusion of creatine in my diet to see what the results for my regular blood tests will be. Initially I expect to dose at about 20mg for a loading period of four days, and will proceed to have daily amounts of 5mg until my next blood test. Subsequently, I will increase my dosage to 10mg, which would be desirable for weightlifting and muscle gain. Following the very next blood test, I will increase my creatine to levels that seem to produce an optimal amount of muscle gain based on body-building literature.
* **Low white blood cell count.**
  * This was not a surprise, although it is still of interest. I first obtained this result approximately 9 years ago on returning from living in Alaska to Maryland, and making a trip to my normal primary care physician at the time. He said it was nothing to worry about, and that it probably indicated good health, and he said it was consistent with results from other vegetarians and vegans. Additionally, he mentioned that consumption of meats results in an increase in white blood cells to combat foreign organisms consumed alongside the animal products. I did some cursory research recently and found that another vegan's research showed the same results. However, I have not seen any research that completely confirms that this is the true cause although it seems to be plausible. Another point of interest is that labs mark it as low to begin with. This is another example of how the medical system and sciences base their information on the populations that fit a normal dietary pattern, which of course includes meat consumption. In other words, a low level of white blood cells may indicate health problems for meat eaters, who perhaps should refrain from eating meat, but have the same results in white blood cell counts potentially that would indicate that there is a problem. Otherwise, it may be better for the lab company to include an if-then, in this case, as is done elsewhere in notes for interpretation in the same report. 
* **Low cholesterol levels.**
  * This is due to having a vegan/vegetarian diet. It is slightly elevated, most likely, because I was eating cheese for a prolonged period of time that year. Primate mean levels of cholesterol outside of captivity is approximately 120mg. I found this in research that I do not have available at the moment, but I may be able to cite this claim in the near future. When I was purely vegan and obtained my blood tests showing my decreased white blood cells for the first time, my cholesterol level was 117, with roughly equal LDL and HDL levels. Note that most studies on genetic and family impacts on cholesterol levels are also done on populations of people who have a typical diet, which of course contains meat. Thus, recommendations and results about cholesterol tend to revolve on the continuation of eating cholesterol and saturated fat. However, there is less information about hereditary impact of metabolism and effects of cholesterol and saturated fats in populations consuming none of either. So, there is the odd result that there are recommendations to counter these effects by ingesting drugs rather than ingesting no cholesterol and saturated fats, although this may be medically justifiable given the likelihood that individuals will really want to transition to a vegan or vegetarian diet with neither of these substances. It must be noted though, that those advanced in age, suffering from heart conditions, or high levels of arterial plaques, are actually told to reduce these substances dramatically, and even Bill Clinton publicly announced that his doctor suggested the same, and that he went Vegan, with subsequent benefits to his health, although I cannot confirm, the extent to which he adheres to this diet at the present time.

### <a name="blood-test-results-from-2018">Blood test results, from January 2<sup>nd</sup>, 2018.</a>

This document has two pages, and scans are shown below. [PDF](mattanaw-blood-test-results-january-2-2018.pdf)

Notice that the results of this test are roughly consistent with the previous test, except with a slightly higher white blood cell count. At this time I was consuming cheese for a period of time, so this could be the reason why it is slightly higher than the most recent blood test.

My ketone level was high as well, and this is consistent with a previous blood test I took around 2009, when I cycled to my doctor visit. It appears the cause of this is dehydration at the time of the test. I will attempt to confirm this by being dehydrated during my next visit.

### <a name="pilots-logbook">Pilot's Logbook</a>

The following are scans from my [Pilot's Logbook](pilot-log-through-22072021-mattanaw-1-master.pdf). This logbook was filled out on the honor system by the flight instructors I had over the years. I'm an endorsed solo pilot with 104 hours of flight on small fixed-wing aircraft, in the Cessna 172. The cost to arrive at this logbook was over twenty thousand USD. A benefit of being open with such information is that it makes it available to myself. Not having to carry my logbook along with me, I can use these scans to procure additional training anywhere where flight training is offered. It also allows me to prove my experience.

Since on the honor system, there is a risk that is also exhibited by this logbook. It's that it is possible to fake entries in order to save funds. In the discipline of accounting, one is trained with the concept of a fraud triangle, to understand how people who we would think are otherwise honest would do tings like commit financial fraud. The way that pilots have their training log creates a situation which would cause us to think that risk of fraud has been created under this fraud triangle. It would be relatively easy to fake the logs, very large sums of money would be saved, and there would be numerous opportunities to do so without detection.

<pre><a name="create-a-gap"></a><div class="ui section divider"></div></pre>

#### First remarks form original posting of this logbook:

The is my Pilot’s log book that I had in my safe deposit box for a few years, while waiting to resume my final lessons to complete my PPL (Private Pilot’s License). I completed all steps except for my final check ride and have flown solo comfortably between multiple towered airports, as is required at the end of training.

This logbook shows my solo endorsements and all training including written. It indicates that my current total number of flight hours is 103.5, which is far above the required 40 for PPL, but far below what is necessary to transport someone via jet.

There are some interesting things about this logbook that people in the public may be interested to hear about. Firstly, an honor system is utilized which is somewhat hopeful, and realistic, about how a student pilot and a trained pilot will record in the logs. It’s not known how accurate anyone’s logbook is and it is possible to falsify a logbook. It would be possible, for example, to copy the handwriting of my instructor and create additional hours and experience, particularly if I am able to examine the log books of friends and others. This is easy to do, so certainly a pilot has an interest in saving money and time by falsifying their books. There is a concept in financial accounting called the “fraud triangle” which gives three conditions which can be used to expect that someone will commit fraud. Necessity and opportunity are two. Pilot training is very expensive, and the opportunity for easy falsification exists. I do not doubt that many pilots have falsified their logbooks. However, I have not falsified my own, Falsification in my case would be more difficult given my transitions between three instructors, each of whom would vouch for each chunk of hours adding to the 103.5, and their signatures and so forth, although it would still be possible that I falsified several rows without their knowledge. After many years it would not be easy for them to recall or recognize falsification.

Another item of interest relating to the logbook is the fact that by posting it here, I have preserved another copy of tit. This logbook is worth between 20 and 30 thousand dollars. This is the reason I was keeping it in a locked safe. If I misplaced it, it would be hard if not impossible to recover the date entered. One could scan and keep other copies, and that is easy enough, but after many years not flying, this logbook was really at risk of being lost. I thought I took it from the safety deposit box with me on a trip to Las Vegas from Anchorage, and thought there was some probability I misplaced it. Gladly I did not. However, now that I’ve posted it online, there will be more than one way to recover it. Firstly it’s on my site. Secondly, it should be in an archive that mirrors sites. Thirdly, it will be any other place in social media I intend to syndicate. By doing this I come close to guaranteeing I would not lose my valuable document. Furthermore, anyone who reads my resume has a quick and easy way to validate that I was and am a pilot.

Sharing private information and identity information opens oneself to opportunities that culturally we are blind to. I do not wish to explain what all those opportunities are, but again, as former Chief Architect of Adobe Systems, and an advisor for large companies in their digital transformations internationally, I still have quite a lot to say.

### <a name="third-class-pilot-medical-certification">Third Class Pilot Medical Certification</a>

*Sunday, December 27<sup>th</sup>, 2020*,&nbsp;<time>11:34 PM Alaska Time</time>

Below is my recent third class medical certificate, obtained from a doctor allowed to perform FAA medical exams, in the state of Hawaii. 

My last third class medical certification expired several years ago, and now that I'm wanting to continue flight, I was required to get a new certificate to ensure that I'm healthy enough to fly the type of aircraft I've been accustomed to in flight training. This is not required if you fly a sport plane only, or an ultralight-- so for people who believe they cannot pass this medical exam, there are still avenues for pursuing flight in a way that is still very free and satisfying.

During this exam it was found that I have 20/20 vision and am generally in good health, and can fly without any corrective lenses. 

Interestingly, though, I do have the urge to wear glasses and corrective lenses, even if I'm able to read 20/20, because it does not appear that 20/20 is what anyone could consider "perfect vision". It is not perfect vision, if one is able to discern that one could see better, and more comfortably, with aids, rather than no aid at all. 20/20 vision is merely an agreed upon standard for what the minimal acceptable vision is for pusuing certain activities. Some call this perfect vision, and that is certainly not the case. My vision has been in the 20/15 or lower range with lenses.

With this medical certification I do not require any confirmation about my fitness to fly for 5 years, since I obtained it before my 40th birthday. If I were to obtain this on or after my 40th birthday, I would need to be tested more frequently, ever two years if I'm not mistaken. 

There are more stringent medical exams for those who will operate airlines and so on, and this is where the second and first class exams become required, and potentially others as well (this I do not know).

#### Initial remarks on first publishing this logbook:

The is my Pilot’s log book that I had in my safe deposit box for a few years, while waiting to resume my final lessons to complete my PPL (Private Pilot’s License). I completed all steps except for my final check ride and have flown solo comfortably between multiple towered airports, as is required at the end of training.

This logbook shows my solo endorsements and all training including written. It indicates that my current total number of flight hours is 103.5, which is far above the required 40 for PPL, but far below what is necessary to transport someone via jet.

There are some interesting things about this logbook that people in the public may be interested to hear about. Firstly, an honor system is utilized which is somewhat hopeful, and realistic, about how a student pilot and a trained pilot will record in the logs. It’s not known how accurate anyone’s logbook is and it is possible to falsify a logbook. It would be possible, for example, to copy the handwriting of my instructor and create additional hours and experience, particularly if I am able to examine the log books of friends and others. This is easy to do, so certainly a pilot has an interest in saving money and time by falsifying their books. There is a concept in financial accounting called the “fraud triangle” which gives three conditions which can be used to expect that someone will commit fraud. Necessity and opportunity are two. Pilot training is very expensive, and the opportunity for easy falsification exists. I do not doubt that many pilots have falsified their logbooks. However, I have not falsified my own, Falsification in my case would be more difficult given my transitions between three instructors, each of whom would vouch for each chunk of hours adding to the 103.5, and their signatures and so forth, although it would still be possible that I falsified several rows without their knowledge. After many years it would not be easy for them to recall or recognize falsification.

Another item of interest relating to the logbook is the fact that by posting it here, I have preserved another copy of tit. This logbook is worth between 20 and 30 thousand dollars. This is the reason I was keeping it in a locked safe. If I misplaced it, it would be hard if not impossible to recover the date entered. One could scan and keep other copies, and that is easy enough, but after many years not flying, this logbook was really at risk of being lost. I thought I took it from the safety deposit box with me on a trip to Las Vegas from Anchorage, and thought there was some probability I misplaced it. Gladly I did not. However, now that I’ve posted it online, there will be more than one way to recover it. Firstly it’s on my site. Secondly, it should be in an archive that mirrors sites. Thirdly, it will be any other place in social media I intend to syndicate. By doing this I come close to guaranteeing I would not lose my valuable document. Furthermore, anyone who reads my resume has a quick and easy way to validate that I was and am a pilot.

Sharing private information and identity information opens oneself to opportunities that culturally we are blind to. I do not wish to explain what all those opportunities are, but again, as former Chief Architect of Adobe Systems, and an advisor for large companies in their digital transformations internationally, I still have quite a lot to say.

### <a name="vaccinations">Vaccinations</a>

For a long while, excepting during the COVID-19 pandemic, I've thought little about vaccinations, traveling to foreign countries with differing risks somewhat infrequently. I received all of the required vaccinations for COVID, and have been vaccinated for Flu on two or three occasions. For travel to South Korea, I received vaccinations in advance, as well as for travel to Bolivia. Both trips were between 2000 and 2010. Other than these travel vaccinations, the only other vaccinations I've received are those that are normal for children growing up in the United States. Mumps, Measles, Smallpox, and some I cannot recall.

For recent travel plans to Indonesia, I have altered my vaccination plan from being reactive and preparatory for conditions in the United States, to include conditions in Asia and Elsewhere. Travel vaccinations are for all conditions that are common enough for all locations I'd visit and not only those that are entirely required. Later, after the process is complete, after already having had all the necessary vaccinations for various global regions, I can travel to those regions with unconcern.

Below are various proofs of vaccination I have in my possession. Vaccinations from earlier in life are in my medical record, although I don't have documents handy. If I regain these documents, I will include them here. In the meantime, I'm providing what I can reasonably provide given availability of artifacts.
