Magician es un videojuego de desplazamiento lateral lanzado en 1991 para el Nintendo NES. Fue diseñador por Eurocom Entertainment Software y distribuido por Taxan.

Argumento
De acuerdo con el manual del juego, un malvado mago llamado Abadon fue capaz de utilizar su poder para convocar a grupos de bestias malignas, y luego construyó un castillo para sí mismo. A continuación, envió a sus seguidores a limpiar la tierra pacífica de Merlwood de sus magos más poderosos, una tarea que se llevó a cabo con facilidad. Mientras esto ocurría, un joven llamado Paul, un aprendiz de mago que vive en la tierra de Serenna, se está preparando para ir en una misión para viajar a través de la tierra para aprender todos los secretos de los antiguos maestros. Sin embargo, él oye hablar de la depuración de los magos por Abadon, y en su lugar se establece como el último mago vivo para derrotar a Abadon.

Jugabilidad
Paul sale con un poco de comida, agua y dinero. El jugador debe a navegar a través de rompecabezas y laberintos para la adquisición de más elementos, que permitan a Pablo aprender más hechizos y armas, que le permitan lanzar hechizos determinados o para proteger a sí mismo. Además, Paul puede interactuar con la gente, que le pueden ayudar a lo largo de su búsqueda.

Aparte de la salud de Paul, el jugador también tiene en mente la comida y los niveles de agua, los cuales disminuyen con el tiempo y se vuelven a llenar con agua y comida. El juego utiliza un sistema único para el aprendizaje y el uso de hechizos de magia, el jugador transcribe hechizos juntando grupos de fonemas para formar palabras mágicas, y cada hechizo tiene una palabra correspondiente que se debe escribir para aprender. Los jugadores simplemente hay que escribir las palabras de hechizo para cualquier hechizo solo en el inicio del juego (a pesar de escribir un hechizo cuesta 50 de mana cada uno).

Al ayudar a personajes no jugables y completar diversas tareas, Paul vuelve más experimentado, el aumento de su maná máximo y su rango como un mago.

El juego utiliza un sistema de ahorro de batería de respaldo, que permite al jugador guardar su progreso en cualquier momento. Sin embargo, sólo se permite al jugador guardar un máximo de 15 veces, con cuatro ranuras diferentes seguros de usar.

exactly what mohammed morsi is doing and the only surprise is that people should be surprised at all. this is the pattern of most revolutions, paul. the leaders have to assume dictatorial powers. looks at what he's driving to shove down the throats of the egyptian people. this is a constitution that ratifies sharia. >> the problem is not the constitution, it's the process that keeps going through and this goes back to the, you know, the military's screwed this up from the beginning because they didn't know how to create an inclusive process to bring the parties in and sit down and agree how this goes forward. so you open up the polarization, i think it's pre he mature and wrong to say it has to be this way. i think that you assume that the brotherhood can change and the country is changing and when you're seeing, there's real push back it him.
i think that shows there is a spirit still in egypt that hasn't been killed. >> all right. well, either way, it's deteriorating inside egypt. when we come back, the military judge in the fort hood massacre is removed after ordering the suspect, army major nadel hassan to shave his beard. the latest on that and the efforts three years later of survivors and victims families survivors and victims families if we want to improveeled an our schools... ... what should we invest in? maybe new buildings? what about updated equipment? they can help, but recent research shows... ... nothing transforms schools like investing in advanced teacher education. let's build a strong foundation. let's invest in our teachers so they can inspire our students. let's solve this.
armed forces appeared that he didn't appear impartial while presiding over the trial, if convicted in the 2009 shooting at the texas army post that killed 13 people and wounded more than two dozen. and hassan appeared that he had to be clean shaven. he says it's part of his muslim faith, but it's army rules. dorot dorot dorothy rabinowicz joins us. you agree with the court's decision. >> it's a long line of strange treatments of major hassan, who was in his career pushed ahead despite the fact that anybody else would have been thrown out of medical school, to the moment they declared the department of defense, after the shooting, this was work place violence. to see this latest installment now is just one long line.
it should remind us, all of it, of all of our problems with libya, and with the false stories of what that was about, the attempt to immerse us in political correctness as this court's decision did. >> what about the issue of his religious rights which is the essence of his claim here that in fact it violates his decision to shave his beard. >> let me tell you that some years ago, a rabbi was told he could not wear a yarmulkah on a base, and that went before the high court and still, that court was reversed which had given him permission. no, you cannot wear, against army regulations, anything like that. >> so, this is going overboard. >> overboard indeed. >> to appease in essence, a political correctness about the muslim faith? >> this is civilian judges on this court.
it's a matter of compensation, who gets what for what particular kinds of violence defined in the regulatory structure and the second is the ability of army to deal with this jihady threat. in 2000 police in london discovered a document that said that jihadies are going to play these games with courts and guess what? they're succeeding. >> thank you all, we have to take one more break. when we come back, hits and tdd#: 1-800-345-2550 let's talk about low-cost investing. tdd#: 1-800-345-2550 at schwab, we're committed to offering you tdd#: 1-800-345-2550 low-cost investment options-- tdd#: 1-800-345-2550 like our exchange traded funds, or etfs tdd#: 1-800-345-2550 which now have the lowest tdd#: 1-800-345-2550 operating expenses tdd#: 1-800-345-2550 in their respective tdd#: 1-800-345-2550 lipper categories. tdd#: 1-800-345-2550 lower than spdr tdd#: 1-800-345-2550 tdd#: 1-800-345-2550 and even lower than vanguard. tdd#: 1-800-345-2550 tdd#: 1-800-345-2550 that means with schwab, tdd#: 1-800-345-2550 your portfolio has tdd#: 1-800-345-2550 a better chance to grow. tdd#: 1-800-345-2550 and you can trade all our etfs online, tdd#: 1-800-345-2550 commission-free, from your schwab account. tdd#: 1-800-345-2550 tdd#: 1-800-345-2550 so let's talk about saving money, tdd#: 1-800-345-2550 with schwab etfs.

Toby Keith may be one of country music's biggest names, but he puts the mission of giving back above his musical accomplishments.
The humble effort is funded through the Toby Keith Foundation, with the singer admitting he doesn't like to be stretched thin when it comes to donating to multiple charities. "I think when you find that one thing that really moves you, you can go accomplish it, and it's a beautiful thing," he states.
On the music front, Keith has plenty to be proud of. Between his 20 No. 1 hits and more than 30 million albums sold, Keith has led a noteworthy career. But the accolade that stands above the rest is the one that honors his tenure as a songwriter. "Songwriters Hall of Fame's the greatest achievement," he states of his 2015 induction, adding that his main goal was to be a songwriter even if he didn't have a career as an artist.
Fans can hear Keith's new song "Don't Let the Old Man In" in Clint Eastwood's new movie The Mule, inspired directly by words the actor shared with the country star during a golf tournament in 2018.

EV Mercedes-Benz VISION EQXX claim 1000km on a single charge
Mercedes-Benz COO Markus Schäfer teased the German automaker's upcoming VISION EQXX electric vehicle, with a range of over 620 miles (1,000 km). Schäfer revealed a teaser image alongside the full unveiling date, which is surprisingly close, in a post on social media.
"As you may know, we have been working on translating our strategic ambition to "Lead in Electric Drive" into a car for some time: Now, the VISION EQXX is set to become the most efficient electric vehicle we have ever built – with a real-world range of more than 1,000 km," Schäfer says in his post.
"And I'm extremely happy that it will be unveiled to the public very soon – on January 3, 2022," he reveals.
The VISION EQXX program is part of Mercedes-Benz's wider-ranging plans to go all-electric by 2030, which it announced in July this year. The company will use the new vehicle to test and hone the efficiency of its electric vehicle (EV) technologies. When Mercedes-Benz first announced the VISION EQXX, it said the new ultra-efficient all-electric vehicle would reach a range of over 750 miles (1,200 km). In July, however, the automaker updated this information, stating that it will have over 620 miles (1,000 km) of "real-world" range.
Mercedes-Benz brings its expertise to electrics
Alongside his announcement of the full unveiling date, which is just over a month away, Schäfer also unveiled a teaser image that's characteristically devoid of precise detail. In his post, he also mentions that Mercedes-Benz has "set a more than ambitious goal for [itself] with the VISION EQXX: We want to develop a compact-class electric vehicle that can drive 1,000 km at a stretch on one battery charge under real road conditions, with a single-digit consumption value for kilowatt hours per 100 kilometers at normal highway speeds."
However, he also says the German automaker wants to improve the new vehicle's aerodynamics when compared with its all-electric EQS, which already "boasts the lowest drag coefficient ever seen in a production vehicle," Schäfer says. He also claims that Mercedes-Benz is "working on increasing the energy density at the cell level by a further 20% compared to the EQS."
Earlier this month, Mercedes-Benz's EQS reached 441 miles (679 km) in a real-world range test, meaning it comfortably beats Tesla's standard Model S, which has a range of 405 miles (651 km). Though the VISION EQXX is only a concept, technology from that vehicle will likely come to Mercedes-Benz's production models as it takes on its competitors.

Omicron coronavirus variant hit Stock & Crypto markets, raised fears over the economic recovery

The Newfoundland and Labrador cod fishery was once the most successful commercial fishery in the world. When it collapsed in 1992, many pointed to failures in management, such as uncontrolled harvesting, as likely culprits. Managed Annihilation makes the case that the idea of natural resource management itself was the problem. The collapse occurred when the fisheries were state-managed and still, two decades later, there is no recovery in sight. Although the collapse raised doubts among policy-makers about their ability to understand and control nature, their ultimate goal of control through management has not wavered and has been transferred from wild fish to fishermen and farmed cod.
Dean L.Y. Bavington is an assistant professor in the Department of Geography at Memorial University of Newfoundland.
The sorry state of ocean life has led to a new kind of fish story—a lament not for the one that got away but for the countless others that didn't…Dean Bavington…observes that two hundred billion pounds' worth of cod were taken from Canada's Grand Banks before 1992, when the cod simply ran out.
Bavington's critique of existing management approaches is strong, and opens the door to a worthwhile discussion.
This book ... is valuable to those seeking a fresh, provocative approach to the northern cod fishery in particular and to natural resource management in general. Summing Up: Highly recommended.

The implementation of Basel 3 will commence on the 1st of January 2013. This auspicious start could well pass most of the population by without a care or a thought. However, to simply gloss this over as just another EU banking regulation that will not effect us, is far from correct.
Before I move on, let me explain the magical number Basel 3. This will be the new standard on global banking in regard to capital adequacy, stress testing and market liquidity for any bank. This will strengthen the capital balance sheet of every bank. But as we all know, for every upside, there will lurk a downside. I will not bore you with all the ratios, but the simple downside is that Basel 3 will effect the amount of money that the banks are able to lend to us all. This is called deleveraging, and the latest estimates of the amount are in the region of €650bn yet to be carried out among the major European banks.
So what I hear you cry, how does this actually effect business, well last week, ING, the Dutch bank decided to close its UK equipment leasing operation, which has been funding over £1bn a year of equipment leasing into our businesses. By their withdrawal from the UK equipment leasing market, about 5% of that funding will simply disappear. This withdrawal from leasing also shows how banks across Europe are having to cut activities because of new rules forcing them to hold more capital in reserve, i.e.Basel 3. There could well be more banks announcing such cut backs in the next few months.
This year an amazing 31% of total investment in new machinery and equipment has been funded by equipment leasing, as the banks have cut back hard on loans and overdrafts. contracts. Or to put this in actual figures, just over £22 billion of equipment leasing funding. Equipment leasing helps businesses grow, and as it is a new credit line, will free existing bank loans and overdrafts for day to day running of a business. The figures show that more and more companies are turning to equipment leasing as an answer to funding new equipment.
At Oak Leasing, we are funding more diverse equipment than ever, both in the UK as well as Europe. Our equipment leasing funding lines are large, and we have recently increased our funding capacity. If it is refinance, business loans, or just good old fashioned equipment leasing, you know who to call!

A report alleges the former head of the SIQ and three Liberal fundraisers defrauded the government through a series of real estate transactions between 2003 and 2008.
QUEBEC — Finance Minister Carlos Leitão has given the province's auditor general the mandate to investigate an alleged fraudulent real-estate scheme that might have benefited the Quebec Liberal Party.
Earlier this month, Radio-Canada alleged the former head of the Société immobilière du Québec (SIQ), Marc-André Fortier, and three Liberal fundraisers defrauded the government through a series of real estate transactions between 2003 and 2008.
The SIQ has since become the Société québécoise des infrastructures. It is a Crown corporation that manages government properties.
Radio-Canada alleged that three Liberal fundraisers — Franco Fava, Charles Rondeau and William Bartlett — worked in partnership with Fortier to provide private investors with good deals on the lease or purchase of government buildings in return for $2 million in cash, which the alleged accomplices shared and put in bank accounts in Europe and the Bahamas.
The Liberals had rejected a PQ motion last week urging them to shed light on the matter.
"Will you finally allow the auditor general to investigate Quebec Liberal Party fundraising?" Maltais added.
The Coalition Avenir Québec argued the minister should take a closer look at transactions with businessman George Gantcheff. CAQ Leader François Legault alleged Wednesday in the National Assembly that the government first sold Gantcheff a building located at 500 René-Lévesque Blvd. in Montreal at a good price, leased space from him and overpaid, and agreed to pay for maintaining the building. "It's a trifecta! Jackpot! How can the finance minister be duped three times in one transaction?" Legault exclaimed.
Gantcheff could not immediately be reached for comment on Wednesday afternoon.

Hegel and SJW Morons
by Thales | Aug 18, 2015 | Idiocy, Philosophy | 0 comments
If you are following my Twitter account, you have no doubt noticed the kerfluffle between myself and a gentleman (I use the term very loosely) named Phil Sandifer. This man describes himself as a "Post-Modernist Marxist Occultist," which, in some twisted fashion, does make some kind of sense. After all, you would have to believe in the occult to think that Marxism can be made to work without a hefty sacrifice in blood. Perhaps that is what he means by his self-identification as an occultist, he proposes to sacrifice the blood of millions to bring in the great Utopia?
Anyway, I digress. The central point revolves around a question. He asked me what I thought about Hegel's "Tripartite Anatomy of the Notion." This is an overly-embellished way of saying Hegel's three point logic system. Now, Hegel's logic system is quite nearly indivisible from the man himself. Hegel attempted to apply the system to very nearly everything. He considered it axiomatic. He applied it to the natural sciences, where it failed miserably. He applied it to the socio-political arena where, in the form of his successor Karl Marx, it similarly proved to be a failure.
Karl Popper explains the failure for us:
Hegel achieved the most miraculous things. A master logician, it was child's play for his powerful dialectical methods to draw real physical rabbits out of purely metaphysical silk-hats. Thus, starting from Plato's Timaeus and its number-mysticism, Hegel succeeded in 'proving' by purely philosophical methods (114 years after Newton's Principia) that the planets must move according to Kepler's laws. He even accomplished the deduction of the actual position of the planets, thereby proving that no planet could be situated between Mars and Jupiter (unfortunately, it had escaped his notice that such a planet had been discovered a few months earlier [Hegel was trying to refute "Bode's Law", a simple mathematical progression which implied that such a planet might exist]). Similarly, he proved that magnetizing iron means increasing its weight, that Newton's theories of inertia and of gravity contradict each other (of course, he could not foresee that Einstein would show the identity of inert and gravitating mass), and many other things of this kind. That such a surprisingly powerful philosophical method was taken seriously can be only partially explained by the backwardness of German natural science in those days. For the truth is, I think, that it was not at first taken really seriously by serious men (such as Schopenhauer, or J.F. Fries), not at any rate by those scientists who, like Democritus,' would rather find a single causal law than be the king of Persia'…
Hegel's three part system begins with a thesis, or "being" if you will. I.e. something is. It then continues on to an antithesis, or not-being. I.e. something is not. Aside from being rather blindingly obvious, that things can be or not be, so far so good, right? Well, Hegel's system has a third part, synthesis, that encompasses "becoming." So we can say that his system is described thusly: being -> not being, encompassed by an intermediate stage of becoming.
This is where he goes wrong. And in this, you can see a sort of prototype for Marxist dialectic. Marx proposed that Feudalism would give way to an intermediate state, Capitalism, and then proceed to Communism. He regarded Capitalism as the "becoming" stage. The problem here, of course, is that the intermediate stage is a thing in itself! I.e. it is being. Hegel applied this test to the concept of life. He regarded life as a contradiction, because one must die. Thus all of life could be regarded as a "becoming" stage in which one is at varying levels of life and death.
It doesn't work. I am alive. Tomorrow I may be dead. It is an either/or proposition with no intermediate stage possible — certainly not one which encompasses all of my life.
Now, this is admittedly an oversimplification. I do not propose to cover Hegel completely in one blog post. But I do wish to point out two important facts:
1. Hegel was a crock and his three part logical system failed every test to which it was known to be applied.
2. Marx was a Hegelian himself, and thus Marxists are, themselves, Hegelians, with all the philosophical baggage that implies.
Of course, none of this is relevant to the immediate argument Phil Sandifer proposed. Phil, I suspect, is simply angry that I half-jokingly referred to myself as a "Philosopher-DJ" in the FAQ section of this blog. He and some of his Twitter followers have engaged in a sort of circle-jerk, wherein they quote Hegelian or Marxist concepts in overly flowery language in order to feel smart and superior to the evil Capitalist Disc Jockey. As is typically the case with SJWs, this not about having intelligent conversation regarding Hegelian philosophy, it is about them feeling good about themselves.
Such charming Leftists, aren't they?
Anyway, I digress again. The point being, that these individuals seem to have it in their head that no one is allowed to disagree with them, certainly not a lowly DJ. They continued with their smug, smarmy, self-applied superiority complex by insulting the very man who is largely responsible for teaching me about Hegel, Marx and much of philosophy in general:
Vox has a saying. SJWs always lie. In this case, I think SJWs always project. I provide a link to my philosophical mentor's writing, whose works I have read in their entirety, and he thinks I have just randomly Googled it (does that make a difference as to whether or not Dr. Ross is right, I wonder?). It makes you wonder how often he randomly Googles things and then claims to be an expert in them.
In any event, Phil doesn't desire intellectual debate, and most of his replies have questioned whether or not I have read Hegel or Marx, or have any real knowledge of them or their work, rather than my opinions and citations on Hegel's three part logic system. You see, he cannot fathom the idea that a non-Marxist might be familiar with Hegel and Marx, and not take them seriously.
He then proceeds to discuss Debord and the Situationists like they are some kind of religious icon. He reverts to all caps or nasty language whenever they are mentioned, such is his anger that nobody takes them seriously, either:
This really amuses me. This is not a man to be taken seriously.
On a side note, if any of my readers are interested in Dr. Ross's work, he is former Professor at California State University, and he is not a Leftist (you might consider him a Right-leaning Libertarian). That alone should be considered rather shocking. He is something of an Agnostic in matters of faith, but his writings on the history of Byzantium and the history of Philosophy are absolutely superb, and among the finest in Friesian philosophical tradition. Honestly, these should be books in their own right, but he provides them freely, and if you email him, I find that he is always happy to engage in intellectual debate and explanation.
Dr. Ross is largely responsible for converting me away from the madness of Marxist thought, and that is no minor thing.

The Department of Justice Determines that Employers May Require Vaccinations Approved Under the Emergency Use Authorization
AUTHOR: Peter J. Brown , Daniel Seitz , Alexander Volberding
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) recently published an opinion[1] addressing whether entities, including employers, may require vaccinations for COVID-19 using vaccines approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) under its Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) approval process.[2][3]
The opinion clarifies the DOJ's position that statutory language in the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) that requires that COVID-19 vaccine recipients "are informed . . . of the option to accept or refuse administration of the product"[4] (i.e., the "option" clause) does not prohibit employers from requiring that their employees be vaccinated for COVID-19 using COVID-19 vaccines approved under the EUA.[5]
The purpose of this bulletin is to analyze the DOJ opinion and provide guidance to employers as to how the opinion affects their authority to require COVID-19 vaccinations.
Requirements Related to the Administration of Drugs/Vaccines Approved Under the EUA
New drugs, including vaccines[6], must receive FDA approval prior to their distribution and administration in the United States.[7] Because drugs approved under the EUA are not subject to the FDA's full approval process, the parties that manufacture, distribute, and administer such drugs must comply with certain special rules and requirements.
In pertinent part, the FD&C Act provides the following with respect to drugs approved under the EUA:
With respect to the emergency use of an unapproved product, the Secretary . . . shall, for a person who carries out any activity for which the authorization is issued, establish such conditions on an authorization under this section as the Secretary finds necessary or appropriate to protect the public health, including the following: . . . Appropriate conditions designed to ensure that individuals to whom the product is administered are informed . . . of the option to accept or refuse administration of the product, of the consequences, if any, of refusing administration of the product, and of the alternatives to the product that are available and of their benefits and risks.[8]
Under this statutory provision, the party administering a drug approved under the EUA must inform the drug's recipient of the option to refuse the administration of the drug or vaccine (the "option" clause).[9]
The inclusion of the option clause in the FD&C Act led some to speculate that the Act precluded employers from requiring COVID-19 vaccinations (if, as is the case at present, the only available COVID-19 vaccines are approved under the EUA[10]) and provided individuals a private right to sue their employer if the employer required such vaccinations.[11]
Plain Language Does Not Prohibit Vaccination Requirements
In its analysis, the DOJ first examined the plain language of the option clause.
The DOJ stated that the Act only requires that potential recipients be "informed" of certain information, including "the option to accept or refuse administration of the product."[12] The DOJ concluded that the common definition of the term "inform", meaning to "give (someone) facts or information; tell" should apply in this context, absent any indication otherwise.[13]
As a result, the DOJ indicated that the manufacturers of the COVID-19 vaccines satisfy this condition by providing recipients of the vaccines a FDA fact sheet listing information about the vaccines and that recipients have a "choice to receive or not receive" the vaccine.
The DOJ then noted that the statutory provision does not include any language purporting to restrict employers from requiring COVID-19 vaccinations.[14]
Limited Scope Does Not Extend to Cover Employers
The DOJ then reviewed the scope of the statutory provision and its potential application to employers.
The pertinent portion of the statute provides the following:
This section only has legal effect on a person who carries out an activity for which an authorization under this section is issued.[15]
The DOJ concluded that this section of the FD&C Act is limited to the entity that actually administers the vaccine, and it does not extend to non-administering parties, such as employers.[16] The DOJ stated that "[t]his provision expressly forecloses any limitation on the activities of the vast majority of entities who would insist upon vaccination requirements."[17]
While the DOJ stated that an employer that administers COVID-19 vaccines would be subject to the FD&C Act conditions, including that they provide information to the recipients of the vaccine, the DOJ also clarified that such employers still would not be precluded by the FD&C from requiring that their employees be vaccinated for COVID-19.[18]
Contextual Understanding of the Option Clause
The DOJ next reviewed the context in which the option clause appears.
The DOJ provided that, in addition to the option clause, vaccine recipients must also be informed of "the consequences, if any, of refusing administration of the product, and of the alternatives to the product that are available and of their benefits and risks." Further, the DOJ provided that the FD&C Act includes two other provisions to which individuals be informed: that FDA "has authorized the emergency use of the product" and of "the significant known and potential benefits and risks of such use, and of the extent to which such benefits and risks are unknown."[19]
The DOJ stated that, in sum, these provisions require only that certain factual information, primarily medical in nature, be conveyed to potential recipients of the vaccine, and that these provisions do not restrict other parties from imposing COVID-19 vaccination requirements.[20]
Legislative Authority and Possible Intent
Finally, the DOJ reviewed Congress's authority in amending the FD&C Act and the possible legislative intent of their 2003 amendments adding the EUA and the option clause.[21]
The DOJ provided that, if Congress intended to restrict the conduct of employers, it had the authority to do so,[22] but that the option clause would be a "strangely oblique way to do so."[23] After reviewing the legislative history of the 2003 amendments, the DOJ indicated that Congress does not appear to offer any clear explanation as to why it included the option clause, speculating that it was possibly intended as a variation on the "informed consent" requirement or to ensure that potential recipients did not misunderstand the likely impact of their refusal.
The DOJ then stated that the option to refuse administration of a drug approved under an EUA did not preclude potentially harsh "secondary consequences", such as exclusion from employment.[24] The opinion noted that the FDA has the ability to warn recipients "of the consequences, if any, of refusing administration of the product", and that the FDA has discretion to supplement the required information disclosures to address any specific consequences.[25]
The DOJ's Conclusion
After completing its analysis of the pertinent provision of the FD&C Act, the DOJ concluded that the Act "does not prohibit public or private entities from imposing vaccination requirements, even when the only vaccines available are those authorized under EUAs."[26]
The Implications of the DOJ Opinion on Mandatory Vaccination Requirements
Many employers are requiring or considering requiring COVID-19 vaccinations for employees who report to the employers' physical worksites and places of employment. The opinion provides employers with useful authority to support such requirements as it provides that, according to the DOJ, there is no restriction under the FD&C Act to employers imposing a vaccination requirement.
In the event that an employee challenges its employer's COVID-19 vaccination requirement on the grounds that the FD&C Act's option clause provides a right to refuse vaccination, the employer may respond that employees do have a choice and may refuse. However, that choice entails secondary consequences, including exclusion from the workplace[27] or potential termination if the employee can no longer perform essential duties of the job remotely.
Employers should note that many other factors may influence an employer's ability to mandate vaccinations, including statutory obligations under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII), the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) and any collective bargaining obligations. Before an employer imposes a COVID-19 vaccination requirement or policy, the employer should contact legal counsel to discuss the legal issues implicated in order to ensure compliance with the pertinent laws.
LCW attorneys are familiar with COVID-19 vaccination issues and are ready to assist employers should they wish to adopt such a requirement.

O.L.C. __ ] (July 6, 2021) [https://www.justice.gov/olc/file/1415446/download (Last viewed on August 1, 2021)]. The DOJ wrote its opinion on July 6, 2021 but did not publish the opinion until last week.
[2] Since the beginning of the public health emergency caused by COVID-19, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued Emergency Use Authorizations (EUAs) for three (3) COVID-19 vaccines: (1) Pfizer/BioNTech; (2) Moderna; and (3) Johnson & Johnson (Janssen). See Authorizations of Emergency Use of Certain Biological Products During the COVID-19 Pandemic; Availability, 86 Fed. Reg. 28,608 (May 27, 2021) (Janssen); Authorizations of Emergency Use of Two Biological Products During the COVID-19 Pandemic; Availability, 86 Fed. Reg. 5200 (Jan. 19, 2021) (Pfizer and Moderna).
[3] Before 2003, the FD&C Act provided only one regulatory approval process by which the FDA could authorize drugs for distribution and sale. In response to concerns about biological and chemical warfare and the spread of communicable diseases, in 2003, Congress amended the FD&C Act in order to provide for the EUA. The amendments established an expedited review and approval process for drugs necessary to address a present or impending emergency.

[5] The District Court for the Southern District of Texas has gone so far as to deny employees a right to sue over alleged violations of the FD&C Act, where their employer required vaccination against COVID-19. Although the plaintiffs have appealed to the Fifth Circuit, the District Court's reasoning is consistent with the DOJ opinion. See Bridges v. Houston Methodist Hosp. (S.D. Tex., June 12, 2021, No. CV H-21-1774) 2021 WL 2399994.

[9] See 21 U.S.C. § 360bbb-3(e)(1)(A) for additional requirements that apply to EUAs.

[11] See Bridges v. Houston Methodist Hosp. (S.D. Tex., June 12, 2021, No. CV H-21-1774) 2021 WL 2399994. The District Court clarifies that the FD&C Act "does not provide [employees] a private opportunity to sue . . . [their] employer[s]" in the event that the employer requires that employees be vaccinated for COVID-19 as term and condition of employment. Employers should note that this decision was issued by a Federal District Court in Texas and therefore is not precedential in California, but that a court of competent jurisdiction in California may nevertheless find it persuasive should such a court adjudicate a comparable claim. Employers should also note that the decision is pending appeal in the Fifth Circuit, and that its ultimate persuasive character may change depending on the appeal's outcome.

[19] 21 U.S.C. § 360bbb-3(e)(1)(A)(ii)(III).
[20] NOTE: The DOJ Opinion also found that the language of 21 U.S.C. § 360bbb-3(e)(1)(A)(ii)(III) gives the FDA discretion to modify, or even change, which notification requirements apply to a given EUA. However, any modifications or changes (such as removing the requirement to inform recipients of their option to accept or refuse) must be justified by the facts and circumstances of the emergency. See DOJ Opinion, supra, footnote 1, at pp. 11-12.

How can I fix this problem?

A: I think the issue is you take a TABLE_NAME as a parameter to the constructor, expecting it to create this new table when opening an existing database, and this will not work. You should initialize ALL the tables you need in onCreate as it only happens once per database.
Given that, I don't think you should have that constructor parameter and I don't think you should create a new instance of DbHelper on every call to open(). I would probably go further than that and make DbControl a singleton, which just wraps the DbHelper and exposes the methods you create.

Pennsylvania's Environmental Rights Amendment Grows Some Teeth
February 22, 2018 /in Water Law, Water News/by Circle Blue
After decades of irrelevance, two court decisions uphold people's right to "clean air, pure water," hearten activists to push for more.

For all of its natural bounty, Pennsylvania has environmental woes aplenty. Take your pick — 19,000 miles of impaired streams, 5,500 of them from abandoned coal mines; state environmental agencies and programs starved of funds as Pennsylvania fails to do its part to maintain safe drinking water and clean up the Chesapeake Bay; and state forests carved up by drilling pads and pipelines.
But the state does have an Environmental Rights Amendment. Since 1971, Pennsylvania's constitution has guaranteed that the people have a right to clean air, pure water and the preservation of the natural, scenic, historic and esthetic values of the environment. The amendment also says that the state's natural resources are the common property of all the people, including generations yet to come, and that the state shall conserve and maintain them.
Until lately, those high-sounding words have been just that, without any real impact on what happens in the state. But twice in the last four years, Pennsylvania's Supreme Court has rendered decisions putting teeth in the environmental rights amendment — first, in a lawsuit over whether communities have the power to bar hydraulic fracturing and, later, over how the legislature is spending revenue derived from leasing state forestland for "fracking," as the controversial natural gas extraction method is known.
The high court's rulings, in 2013 and 2017, have generated buzz among lawyers and elected officials, as well as heartened environmental activists used to losing political scraps with the state's powerful extractive industries. The full import of the court's decisions has yet to play out, with more litigation in the works. But already, some activists have been emboldened to push to expand its application in Pennsylvania — and to spread similar green amendments nationwide.
"These decisions have empowered people," said George Jugovic, director of legal affairs for the environmental group, PennFuture. "People are talking about it and asking questions: 'How does this affect my life? How does this affect the resources that are important to me?'"
Pennsylvania is one of nearly two dozen states with language about environmental protection in their constitution. Advocates say the Keystone State's provision is more potent than most because it's been enshrined among the "Declaration of Rights" enumerated at the beginning of the state's governing document.
The amendment grew out of an earlier era of environmental depredation of the state by the coal industry, when thousands of acres of forest were destroyed by strip mines and streams were rendered lifeless by acid drainage.
"People were sick and tired of seeing dead fish and dirty water in the streams and rivers after coal companies would dump their waste," recalled Franklin L. Kury, the former state legislator who drafted the environmental rights amendment.
Campaigning on a platform of "clean streams and clean politics," Kury won election to the state House of Representative in 1966 and wrote the words to Article 1, Section 27 in 1969. The legislature had already responded to the growing environmental concerns being expressed nationwide by passing new environmental regulations and revising its Clean Streams law to include the coal industry. But Kury thought more was needed.
"I wanted to write a law with broad basic principles that would last for time," he said. The year after the nation's first Earth Day, Pennsylvania voters approved the amendment by a margin of nearly four to one.
Franklin L. Kury, during his first House bid in 1966, ran on the platform of Clean Streams, Clean Politics during a time when the coal industry was largely unregulated. He was voted in by a public tired of seeing "dead fish and dirty streams." Kury served on the legislature from 1966 to 1971, which passed many environmental protection laws, including removing the exemption for coal companies from the water pollution regulations.

For the next four decades, though, it proved pretty toothless, defanged by a 1973 Commonwealth Court ruling that applied a circuitous logic to what it meant. Basically, government just had to show that the benefits of whatever project was being challenged were greater than the environmental damage likely to be caused. In nearly all cases, the government won.
Then, the right case came along with the right argument. It grew out of the backlash in Pennsylvania to the explosion of fracking across the state. As some townships tried to zone fracking away from schools and populated areas, the industry succeeded in getting state legislators to pass a law saying only the state could regulate fracking.
The Delaware Riverkeeper and nine Pennsylvania municipalities took on the new law, led by Robinson Township, a mid-size suburb of Pittsburgh. The case, Robinson v. Commonwealth, went all the way to Pennsylvania's Supreme Court, which in a landmark decision declared the green amendment trumped parts of that law. It upheld the rights of a local community to say no to fracking.
"All these years, nothing that I've done legally and personally moved me as much as that court decision," Kury said of the 2013 ruling.
A second, more recent environmental rights ruling — also tied to fracking — is more complicated, but potentially just as far-reaching. Since 2008, Pennsylvania's governors and lawmakers have been using revenues earned from leasing state forest lands for fracking to balance the state budget. The Pennsylvania Environmental Defense Foundation, a nonprofit founded in 1986, decided to challenge that practice.
Pennsylvania awarded its first oil and gas lease on public lands in 1947 and by 1955 the state created the Oil and Gas Lease Fund. Until 2008, the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, which manages Pennsylvania's vast network of public lands, was the sole beneficiary of the fund. From 1947 to 2008, according to court documents, oil– and gas-leasing revenue totaled $165 million. But the explosion of shale gas drilling brought in $167 million in 2009 alone. State officials decided to divert most of that revenue into the general fund, leaving the DCNR an amount up to $50 million a year.
The Marcellus Shale gas play took off just as the economy plunged into a recession; and like many states, Pennsylvania's budget had a huge hole to fill. In a cash-strapped state where raising taxes was — and is — political poison, it was too tempting to keep using the millions of dollars from state forest leases as a cash cow.
Last June, in a decision built on the logic of its earlier 2013 ruling, the high court decreed in Pennsylvania Environmental Defense Foundation v. Commonwealth that the money raised by leasing the state's natural resources must be used solely to restore and maintain those resources.
It's too early to tell what the latest decision will mean. What is clear, is that there will be more lawsuits — and the wait shouldn't be long. The Pennsylvania Environmental Defense Foundation has gone back to court, asking a judge to declare parts of the 2018 budget legislation unconstitutional because it relies on transfers from the oil and gas fund.
"We have state forest that is significantly degraded," said John Childe, the foundation's attorney. "DCNR is not able to deal with the impacts to plants and animals and forest fragmentation. We're losing funding for the restoration of the forests. If you can't balance the budget, create new funds; don't take it from our state forests. You can't rob Peter to pay Paul."
The Commonwealth Court, an intermediate appeals court, is still weighing how that money must be spent, Childe said. If the foundation is successful, the cumulative $1.1 billion in lease revenue will be reserved exclusively to restore the state forests. The state may have to repay money already spent elsewhere.
It's complicated how the money is spent now; some is siphoned off for the general fund and some goes to the DCNR and is granted to communities for projects — and expenses. About $20 million annually goes to Growing Greener, a program established in 1999 that distributes grants to deal with a broad array of environmental needs, from sewer upgrades to farmland preservation. The program once had a dedicated source of funding — tipping fees on trash hauling — but in recent years has relied on borrowed money. The $20 million will be zeroed out if the Environmental Defense Foundation wins in court.
Some activists worry that the case could take scarce state funding away from Growing Greener and other needy environmental initiatives. "I'm concerned as a Pennsylvanian; I want to see the environment funded," said Andrew Heath, executive director of the Growing Greener Coalition, a coalition of environmental groups supporting the fund. "But when I put my executive director hat on, my job is to see as much money go into the program as possible."
So far, the amendment hasn't seemed to guarantee that lawmakers will provide adequate funding for Bay restoration, drinking water protection or other environmental protections.
The most recent state budget left the Department of Environmental Protection with no new money, despite receiving warning letters from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency about Pennsylvania's lagging performance in reducing nutrient pollution to the Susquehanna River and the Chesapeake Bay, and the state's shortcomings in ensuring public drinking water safety.
But David Hess, a former DEP secretary who is now a lobbyist, said he believes the latest court ruling has the potential to force a much-needed reform in the state's anemic funding for environmental preservation and protection.
The state's lawmakers have been balancing the budget with "bubble gum and baling wire" for the last 13 years, Hess said. And the money from gas leasing is just part of the problem. Environmental agencies are cut, and special funds tend to be viewed as easy marks for diversion.
"The General Assembly isn't going to change unless they are forced to," Hess said. "They are loath to raise taxes, and they are loath to raise new revenue. They want the easy way out, and the easy way out is to patch together whatever they can steal where they can."
Every year, as expenses climb, a group of legislators insists it won't raise taxes or fees for any purpose whatsoever. But revenues from income and sales tax are down since the recession. With four-fifths of the budget devoted to health, human services and education, that leaves a diminishing share for everything else, including the environment.
The court ruling on the oil and gas fund could wreak major change, but Rep. Kate Harper, a Republican from Montgomery County, predicted it will take some time for her colleagues to take the environmental rights amendment seriously. She suggested that "strategic lawsuits will change their mind."
Some activists see a brighter green road ahead. Maya K. van Rossum, the Delaware Riverkeeper, hopes to turn the court victories into a movement. The Delaware Riverkeeper Network, a co-plaintiff in the Robinson case, launched an initiative in 2014 aiming for an environmental rights provision in every state's constitution. Rossum wrote a book last year on the topic, The Green Amendment.
Environmental laws aren't protecting anyone, van Rossum contended. "The green amendment is right up there with our rights for freedom of religion and our freedom to own guns," she said.
John Childe, a Pennsylvania Environmental Defense Foundation lawyer who argued the recent funding case, sees the environmental rights amendment as an essential bulwark against the grinding down of precious natural resources. "It's the only hope for our planet," he said.

I'm starting my new year in España.
I've joined my parents on their little holibobs for a week.
We spent my first day maxin', relaxin' and not really doing too much.
In the afternoon we went into town for a bit of a wander round and stopped off for some lunch.
It's lovely and warm in the sunshine but you need a coat for the shade.
Determined to make the most of the warm weather I insisted we sit outside so we went to Cochran's which has a beautiful view over the Mediterranean sea.
I've commandeered Mum's Christmas present because it's just beautiful..
After lunch Mum told me to go and take a peak inside the church.
and festive poinsettias everywhere you look.
The Spanish create these beautiful miniature town scenes.
You can make them as little or large as you like. Some are truely spectacular.
Scenes of Bethlehem all telling the story of baby Jesus.
After our wander we went back to our urbanisation to say goodbye to a few friends. Goodbye turned into a few drinks and by that time it was time for some more food.
Not overly hungry we went to Bar Redondo for a drink and some tapas.
It's one of our favourites so naturally Mum knows Mario..
We ordered a bottle and when you order drinks you get free tapas.
We ordered some classic Spanish dishes. Tortilla patatas (Spanish omelette).
croquettes, Manchego cheese and Serrano ham.
They all disappeared far too quickly so we decided to order another round of tapas which included meatballs.
We chatted, bumped into old friends and people watched before paying our dues which came to a whopping €18!
In town all the Christmas lights are still up. The Spaniards celebrate Christmas when the three kings arrive so Christmas hadn't arrived when I got there.

Q: Can ps filters be combined with AND rather than OR logic Can the ps command be used on its own to filter down to a subset of results rather than creating a superset?
For example ps -C <command> gives me all <command> processes and ps -u <user> gives me all process belonging to <user>. But ps -C <command> -u <user> gives me all processes named <command> or all processes belonging to <user>, when what I'm really after is all processes named <command> and all processes belonging to <user>.
Obviously I can filter with grep, but I was wondering if what I'm after could be achieved with ps on its own.
I'm using -C and -u for the purposes of an example, but really I'd like a more general way of combining any of the ps filters with 'and' rather than 'or'.

A: No; this is documented in the manpage:

Except as described below, process selection options are additive.
The default selection is discarded, and then the selected processes
are added to the set of processes to be displayed. A process will
thus be shown if it meets any of the given selection criteria.

The exception:
--deselect
      Select all processes except those that fulfill the specified
      conditions (negates the selection).  Identical to -N
...
-N    Select all processes except those that fulfill the specified
      conditions (negates the selection).  Identical to --deselect.

(Of course, NOT (A OR B) = (NOT A) AND (NOT B), so you might be able to cook something up if you're more interested in negative matches, but this would be too unwieldy otherwise.)

Why England is called "Albion"
The phrase "Albion" has long been considered the second name of England. The country is known for its fogs, so the name is unlikely to surprise someone. However, historians claim that the origin of the phrase "foggy Albion" has little to do with the fogs.
How to call games in which a bat hits the ball
Why the upper corners of the goal are called nine
The white cliffs of Dover
There is a version according to which the word "Albion" is derived from a Celtic root, which had a value of "white". Later, the Romans began to call England "albus" (also meaning "white") because, having approached its shores, saw a huge white cliffs of Dover, which reaches a height of 107 meters. The rocks have a high content of chalk, because they resemble the great white icebergs.
Atop one of the rocks, rises the ancient castle of Dover, with a history spanning over 2000 years. Its construction was dictated by the need to repel invasions from continental Europe. As a result, Dover became the most powerful and strengthened among all European castles. Located on the shore of the Strait that separates Britain and France, the castle has long been considered the "key to England".
English fogs
The second, much more common version of how England is called "Albion" seems to be more commonplace. It is directly connected with the famous English fogs. Its adherents believe that we should not look for a complicated explanation for this name – it just reflects country specific climate. Travellers who go to England, you have to be prepared for the fact that she will meet a drizzling rain, fog and winds. Most rainfall here in September. However, forecasters say that, actually, the fogs in England more than in Russia or continental Europe.
Smog over London
There is also a third version according to which the name "Albion" refers to not a natural fog and industrial smog. There was a time when he thick veil enveloped London and other major industrial cities of Britain. The British called it "pea soup". Originally could have arisen because the factory furnaces were heated with coal. In the mid-twentieth century, the smoke of chimneys were added to automobile exhausts. As a result, in 1956 the British Parliament passed a law to prohibit burning of coal at the enterprises of large cities. Thus, finally managed to get rid of the thick industrial smog. Today London's air is considered to be one of the cleanest among the greatest cities in the world.
Whichever of the versions neither were most reliable, we must admit that the name "Albion" sounds nice and poetic, creating a visible image of this mysterious country.

It has since then, evolved from a small, local real estate developer into one of the largest and most successful privately held commercial real estate firms in the Mid-Atlantic region.
The bonus will be split among the employees, and the amount allocated will be based on years of service.
The bonuses were based on the number of years the employees had been at the company.
The President of St. John Properties, Lawrence Maykrantz said that the company had achieved a crucial milestone of developing 20 million square feet in real estate.
This bonus will be paid out in addition to the company's annual year-end bonus, as well as other benefits.

The 198 employees were each handed a red bonus envelope. "It's definitely life changing", she added.
Company founder and chairman Edward St. John said that the amount each employee will receive depends on tenure - but most will take home an average around $50,000, the New York Post reported.
St. John also stated that he was thankful for every one of his employees and wanted to express his gratefulness to them in a special way this holiday season.
The company reached the goal, which they set in 2005, earlier this month.
St. John Properties react to the news they will receive a shared $10 million bonus.
"We're a conservative company in that we have plenty of unrestricted reserves and we felt that regardless of how much we had in the reserves, that this was the best use for this $10 million", said Maykrantz. "Without the team, we are nothing-absolutely nothing".
