According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (a division of the United States Department of Labor), nationwide more than 3 million workers suffered non-fatal work related injuries in 2013. This means that 1.7 out of every 100 workers in America was injured. During this same period, 4,405 workers lost their lives in work place accidents. The rate of fatal work injury for U.S. workers in 2013 was 3.2 per 100,000 workers in America. Not surprisingly, the majority of job related injuries and deaths occurred in the manufacturing and construction industries.
But laws are different when it comes to workplace accidents. Employees suffering injuries while working within the line and scope of their employment in Alabama are entitled to compensation for their injuries only to the extent provided for by law. In the event a workplace accident results in death, the employee's dependents may also be entitled to compensation as provided by law. These claims may arise under Alabama's Workers' Compensation Act, the Longshore and Harbor Workers Compensation Act or the Federal Employees' Compensation Act.
In general, a covered employee's sole remedy against his or her employer for injuries suffered while working within the line and scope of their employment is to pursue a claim for those benefits to which he or she is entitled as provided by the applicable statutory Act. Alabama's Workers' Compensation Act, the Longshore and Harbor Workers Compensation Act and the Federal Employees' Compensation Act are designed to guarantee that injured workers receive certain monetary and medical benefits for the work-place injury or illness suffered without having to prove that the employer was at fault in causing the injury or illness.
Sounds simple, but it isn't. Unfortunately, the benefits under Alabama's Workers' Compensation Act, the Longshore and Harbor Workers Compensation Act and the Federal Employees' Compensation Act often do not fully compensate an injured worker for the injuries suffered or the disability that may result therefrom. An employee's benefits are generally limited to lifetime medical treatment for the work injury; disability compensation payments for the period of time an employee is held out of work by the authorized treating physician; and a modest monetary award for permanent impairment or disabilities. Disability benefits and monetary awards are generally "capped" pursuant to certain schedules. These "caps" usually result in modest compensation when compared with the salaries workers were earning immediately prior to their injuries. All monetary benefits recoverable in a workers' compensation claim are based on the "average weekly earnings" by the employee in the year immediately prior to the work accident. Thus, calculating the "average weekly earnings" and the resulting "weekly benefit" correctly may have a substantial impact on the value of the claim.
The limitations placed on periodic disability payments, for example, usually result in modest compensation when compared with the salaries workers were earning immediately prior to their injuries. In other words, benefits often fall short of your old paycheck.
If you are injured at work, you should notify your employer of the injury as soon as possible. You should report the injury in writing and keep a copy of the report for your records. In most instances, the employer has the right to select the physician from whom initial medical treatment shall be provided. It is important to immediately report the work accident to your employer and ask your employer to provide medical treatment. Immediately reporting the injury and filing a claim quickly helps ensure that your benefits will start promptly and will also help to avoid claims by the employer that they did not know you suffered a work accident or that the injury you complain about was suffered at home or away from work. As with all injury claims, there are time limitations and filing requirements which need to be met if a worker is to pursue his or her claim rights.
At John Ronald Spencer, P.C., there is never a charge to meet with you. We'll determine whether you have legal rights that must be protected. The initial consultation is always free. You have nothing to lose if you make the call. But, you may lose all of your legal rights if you do nothing.


Rather than demanding a list of requirements prior to joining, LTW asks that potential team members are simply willing to commit. As an example, when Jesus called His disciples, he only asked them to follow. These young men were then posed with a choice, a sacrifice, and a potential for positive change. Jesus did not choose men already mature in God, but those willing to grow and to be challenged.

On 25 May 2022, at least 5 people were killed when the Hazrat Zakaria Mosque in Kabul, Afghanistan, was bombed. At least 17 others were injured. The cause of the bombing was an improvised explosive device that had been hidden inside the mosque prior to the bombing. It detonated during the Maghrib prayers.

An anonymous Taliban official told reporters that at least fourteen were killed, including the imam. This has not yet been verified. The same day, at least nine were killed in three bombings which targeted minivans in Mazar-i-Sharif, Balkh Province.

The United Arab Emirates condemned the attack as a terrorist action.

ISIL ramps up fight with weaponised drones
In the past, ISIL has used drones in Iraq and Syria for general intelligence-gathering, as spotters for mortar firing, and even for filming propaganda videos [John Beck/Al Jazeera]
Mosul, Iraq – As fighting raged in eastern Mosul on a recent afternoon, a black Humvee arrived at an Iraqi army command post with a collection of plastics, electronics and rotor blades lashed to its back.
Soldiers leaped to unload the cargo, which comprised the remnants of the latest tool in ISIL's armoury: drones.
The haul included a number of small devices of the kind favoured by filmmakers and hobbyists, costing a few hundred dollars apiece. But there were also larger, fixed-wing craft fashioned out of corrugated plastic and duct tape, apparently made by the fighters themselves.
Since mid-2014, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, also known as ISIS) group has held Mosul, after sweeping through northern Iraq in a shock offensive.
It is now their last urban stronghold in the country, and for more than two months, the Iraqi army's operation to retake the city has met fierce resistance, including snipers, ambushes and suicide attacks using explosive-laden trucks. Drones have been used for reconnaissance and to relay instructions to suicide bombers, said General Abdul Wahab al-Saadi, a commander with the elite counterterrorism service in eastern Mosul.
"They use them to give directions to suicide car bombs coming towards us, as well as to take pictures of our forces," Saadi told Al Jazeera.
In the past, ISIL has used drones in Iraq and Syria for general intelligence-gathering, as spotters for mortar firing, and even for filming propaganda videos. Soldiers have regularly spotted these drones over army positions on the outskirts of Mosul, prompting bursts of gunfire skywards.
But there is a fresh threat, Saadi said: ISIL has begun to use the drones themselves as weapons. "They also use a new tactic, where the drone itself has a bomb attached to it," he explained.
This has already proven lethal. Last October, after Kurdish Peshmerga fighters downed an ISIL drone north of Mosul and began transporting it back to their base for examination, a small amount of explosive material inside the device detonated, killing two Kurdish fighters and injuring two French special forces soldiers with whom they had been working. These were the first reported casualties from one of ISIL's weaponised drones.
Several of Iraq's allies, including the United States and the United Kingdom, have long flown drones in the country for both attacks and observation. Even Saadi's own men use small craft for reconnaissance, he said.
But American forces leading the anti-ISIL coalition have been slow to realise the threat posed by the armed group's drone use, said PW Singer, a senior fellow at the New America Foundation and an expert in robotic warfare. "We've known of non-state actors … using drones for years," he told Al Jazeera. "We've also known that the commercial spread of the technology made it possible for anyone to buy [them]," yet the rush towards countermeasures began only recently, he added.
The defence department last July asked Congress for an extra $20m to help tackle the threat posed by ISIL's use of unmanned aircraft, and Lieutenant General Michael Shields, director of the US Joint Improvised-Threat Defeat Organization, told reporters in October that there was "a sense of urgency" in equipping US troops with anti-drone technology.
New countermeasures have been implemented, including Battelle's Drone Defender, a hand-held directed-energy device that can knock drones out of the sky at a distance of 400 metres. The device has already been deployed with US troops in Iraq.
Saadi, meanwhile, says that his soldiers are usually able to disable ISIL's drones by using sniper rifles or machine guns.
"We don't think that it is very dangerous. ISIL collects information about our forces, and we destroy the drones before they come to us," he said.
Although ISIL's drone fleet so far appears relatively basic, it could be developed further in the months ahead. Researchers from the UK-based Conflict Armament Research (CAR) group documented an ISIL "drone workshop" in Ramadi last February, where fighters had been attempting to build larger drones with potent explosive payloads crafted from the warheads of anti-aircraft missiles.
This suggests that commercially available drones are not fitting ISIL's tactical needs, said CAR's managing director, Marcus Wilson.
"The other models they're trying to build are predominantly fixed-wing craft, which might allow for increased range or provide the ability to add a payload rather than just surveillance abilities, which is what we've observed in [our] report," Wilson told Al Jazeera.
He said that further development seems likely, especially given ISIL's history of designing complex components for weapons such as improvised explosive devices and producing them on an industrial scale.
"If they continue along this path, then we should be worried, because they still have a strong research and development capacity, have advanced their production abilities in the past, and still have the workshops capable of building sophisticated devices," Wilson said.
Still, even with further development, ISIL would likely be unable to produce more than what Singer describes as "small aerial IEDs" – unlikely to cause mass casualties or alter the balance of power.

The US Army is configuring Abrams tanks to be able to control attack drones – Business Insider
The Army is preparing to configure Abrams tank prototypes able to control nearby "robotic" wing-man vehicles which fire weapons, carry ammunition and conduct reconnaissance missions for units on the move in combat, service officials said.
Although still in the early stages of discussion and conceptual development, the notion of manned-unmanned teaming for the Abrams continues to gain traction among Army and General Dynamics Land Systems developers.
Algorithms are progressing to the point wherein they will be able to allow an Abrams tank crew to operate multiple nearby "wing-man" robotic vehicles in a command and control capacity while on the move in combat.
Army researchers, engineers and weapons developers are preparing to prototype some of these possibilities for future Abrams tanks, Maj. Gen. David Bassett, Program Executive Officer, Ground Combat Systems, told Scout warrior in an interview."As I look to the future and I think about game-changing technologies, manned-unmanned teaming is a big part of that.
There's a set of things that we think could be really transformational," Bassett said.This kind of dynamic could quickly change the nature of landwar. Autonomous or semi-autonomous robotic vehicles flanking tanks in combat, quite naturally, could bring a wide range of combat-enhancing possibilities. Ammunition-carrying robotic vehicles could increase the fire-power of tanks while in combat more easily; unmanned platforms could also carry crucial Soldier and combat supplies, allowing an Abrams tank to carry a larger payload of key combat supplies.
Also, perhaps of greatest significance, an unmanned vehicle controlled by an Abrams tank could fire weapons at an enemy while allowing the tank to operate at a safer, more risk-reducing stand-off range.

Islamic State: The British ISIS jihadis who could be next on Cameron's drone 'hit list' | UK | News | Daily Express
Following yesterday¹s announcement from Prime Minister David Cameron that two British nationals fighting with the Islamic State (ISIS) terror group had been killed by unmanned RAF aircraft, it today emerged a number of other extremists might soon be the target of an airstrike.Defence Secretary Michael Fallon refused to deny the existence of a list of extremists known to British security forces that will be taken out by a missile strike if they are located in Syria.He told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "The list is the other way round. There is a group of people who have lists of targets in this country, who are planning armed attacks on our streets and who are planning to disrupt major public events in this country."Our job, together with the security agencies, is to keep us safe, to identify who they are and to track them down."If there's no other way of preventing these attacks then we¹ll authorise strikes like we did."

UCAV, A New Way of War?
Every day, somewhere, in some office, there is a discussion on the use of UCAVs.
Meanwhile the public opinion keep raising doubts on the use of these tactical systems (good both for surveillance and attack), all nations are running on the development of new and better UCAV (Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle) and UCTV (Unmanned Combat Terrestrial Vehicle) systems'.
There is no doubt that they are for several reason better than any other past and actual systems: it is, in fact, enough to affirm that UCAVs has the only limitation in their real autonomy (fuel consumption etc) and not in Human limitations'. Since are remotely controlled (also by the use of satellites, which expand their use to a worldwide area), pilots, have no problem of sleep deprivation, or fear or any other "Human concerns" etc., therefore are considered "better soldiers".
As Former Special Forces, I have some doubts on their future use and developments… we Human know that the war is not only shooting here or there, launching bombs etc, war is matter of killing people, create devastations, defend innocents, etc. … but the idea behind the future development of these UCAV and UCTV (Unmanned Combat Terrestrial Vehicle) stand in the research and development of system able to operate in the complete absence of Human control… in the future (not far in my opinion) we will probably have to just set the target or task in the computer and lunch the system… it will accomplish the mission, no matter what, when, where etc etc … very good if considering only the tactical and strategical tasks… but what about when Human are victim of failure systems?
My other big concern stand in the fact that, if we can create, develop and use such systems, also our enemies can! this means that terroristic groups, weak nations etc (that before needed anyway a huge effort in oder to create a real treat) tomorrow (or already today) could need a small effort to gain a huge result…
we always need to remember that what can be achieved by the "good guys" with a huge effort, can be achieved by the "bad guys" with half of the same effort. In fact, meanwhile we are wondering whether these systems should be used or not, and how and when etc. , the bad guys have only the problem to gain some!
I leave you with the following article, which explain in short how UACVs gain power on the tactical scene, and what concerns are now showing up!

A new Way of War … Remote Control Project
Nowadays the discussion on the use of Drone and any "remote-controlled tools" is undergoing in many groups, such as Political, civilian or "Pacifists".
If in one hand, drones are seen as an effective and valuable tool to control and even attack possible "enemies", in the other hand are seen as the "devil".
One thing is sure; This technology is designed to excel in all actual and future conflict.
Moreover, the "apparent" low cost, the easier friendliness, and the real effectiveness, make it easy and suitable for the use not only of Law Enforcement forces during the daily territorial control activities', but also by whom wants to use this technology as "instrument of mass control"!
If you are interested in such discussion, please leave a comment. I will use them in order to better develop the subject in my future Articles.

Three-dimensional Nanowire Structures for Ultra-Fast Separation of DNA, Protein and RNA Molecules
Sakon Rahong, Takao Yasui, Takeshi Yanagida, Kazuki Nagashima, Masaki Kanai, Gang Meng, Yong He, Fuwei Zhuge, Noritada Kaji, Tomoji Kawai, Yoshinobu Baba
Separation and analysis of biomolecules represent crucial processes for biological and biomedical engineering development; however, separation resolution and speed for biomolecules analysis still require improvements. To achieve separation and analysis of biomolecules in a short time, the use of highly-ordered nanostructures fabricated by top-down or bottom-up approaches have been proposed. Here, we reported on the use of three-dimensional (3D) nanowire structures embedded in microchannels fabricated by a bottom-up approach for ultrafast separation of small biomolecules, such as DNA, protein, and RNA molecules. The 3D nanowire structures could analyze a mixture of DNA molecules (50-1000 bp) within 50 s, a mixture of protein molecules (20-340 kDa) within 5 s, and a mixture of RNA molecules (100-1000 bases) within 25 s. And, we could observe the electrophoretic mobility difference of biomolecules as a function of molecular size in the 3D nanowire structures. Since the present methodology allows users to control the pore size of sieving materials by varying the number of cycles for nanowire growth, the 3D nanowire structures have a good potential for use as alternatives for other sieving materials.

The Ins and Outs of Super Bowl 2013's Cute and Furry Competitor: Puppy Bowl IX
Lance Madden Subscriber
I break down sports business and fashion, on and off the field.
[caption photocredit=""]
Super Bowl Sunday is always a jam-packed day full of fun festivities leading up to The Big Game. Even if football, halftime performer Beyoncé, and $3.8-million commercials aren't your thing -- or if you like those things but also enjoy cute stuff, in general -- you can still get in on the fun before Super Bowl XLVII in New Orleans. Airing at 3 p.m. EST is Animal Planet's production of Puppy Bowl IX, in newly named GEICO Stadium.
The Puppy Bowl has grown more and more popular each year since its inception, with nearly 10 million viewers tuning into the adorable event last year, contributing to a 17-percent increase in viewership in Animal Planet's key demo ratings (adults 25-54) compared to the previous year. The show also saw a large surge in social interaction. Puppy Bowl VIII ranked second overall for social TV interaction behind the Super Bowl. A record-breaking 5.5 million page views and 1.4 million videos were streamed on AnimalPlanet.com on game day, along with more than 200,000 tweets relating to the Puppy Bowl.
The game is simple. Ten puppies at a time play on the field that is three yards wide by six yards long. When a pup drags one of the chew toys into either end zone, a score is recorded. And while they don't get any breaks for sports drinks, they can re-hydrate with a water bowl on the 10-yard line. In the end, one dog is crowned MVP (Most Valuable Puppy), but really everyone wins.
Here are 10 other keys you should know about Puppy Bowl IX:
Adoption awareness promotion: A total of 63 puppies -- from pit bulls to wiener dogs to labs and more, and ranging from 8 to 15 weeks old,-- will battle for barking rights in this year's show, up from 59 last year. All of the animals featured in Puppy Bowl IX come from shelters and rescue organizations across the United States, and even Puerto Rico. All animals on the show can be adopted via Petfinder.com, which has helped more than 20 million pets find homes. With more than a week before Puppy Bowl IX's airing, all 21 kittens featured in the Bissell Kitty Half-Time Show had already been adopted.
The Ref returns: New York-based actor Dan Schachner returns for his second year as Puppy Bowl referee, ensuring the pups play a safe, clean game. He calls puppy penalties and touchdowns, and cleans up puppy messes if necessary. His favorite penalties to call are "Unnecessary ruff, ruff, ruff-ness," "Unpuppylike conduct," "Illegal Use of the Paws," "Illegal Retriever Down Field" and "Excessive cuteness on the Field." Someone's gotta keep order around here, right?
No pressure from the NFL: Animal Planet didn't have to worry if they'd lose Schachner to the NFL when the NFL was looking for replacement refs. "The Puppy Bowl ref has a lot of downtime in the offseason," Schachner said. "I was up for the job there (in the NFL as a replacement ref). I had my bags packed. But it didn't happen. They came to terms before I came on the field." Good news for the NFL. Better news for the pups.
No pups at home -- yet: Schachner has two young sons at home in New York City, ages 4 and 6. They pester him about bringing home a puppy or three every day, especially this time of year. "Right now they're too young," Schachner said. "When they get older we can discuss it. We have fish, and with the fish and the two boys, we're already a zoo. When they're old enough to help take a puppy down the elevator and carry around sandwich bags for messes on the busy streets of New York, we'll re-evaluate."
On the note of puppy messes: "There's a team of assistants waiting on the sidelines with cleaning supplies," Schachner said. "You won't see it on camera it happens so fast. And yes, sometimes I'm down there cleaning up the messes, too. It's not beneath me."
New rules: In his rookie season as the only human face of the Puppy Bowl, Schachner spent a lot of time focusing on more obvious fouls, like pups relieving themselves on the field or lying down. This year the penalties have been adjusted slightly. "There are fouls this year for napping, and more excessive cuteness calls than last year," he said. "There's also a call for Illegal Retriever Down the Field."
More money: Animal Planet's ad revenue is projected to go up from $163.2 million in 2012 to $174.5 million in 2013, thanks in part to the Puppy Bowl's 19-percent increase in ad revenue over last year's presentation, AdWeek reported. Contributing is the naming of the stadium, provided by GEICO, as well as special sponsorships from Subaru, Universal's Despicable Me 2 and Icebreakers -- the latter of which is not intended to mask puppy breath.
Playing nice with Sandy: The show was filmed in New York City in November. Filming was pushed two weeks due to Hurricane Sandy. A staff of 69, plus 13 volunteers, a veterinarian and two assistants were on hand during the taping of the show. About 90 hours of footage were captured from cameras in multiple locations in the studio, including inside of the Ice Breakers Mints blimp (piloted by hamsters) and inside of the water bowls. All of that was cut down to the two-hour show. "It's a true testament to the work of our editing team," Schachner said.
Spirited spikes: For the first time ever, the Puppy Bowl will feature a squadron of nine baby hedgehog cheerleaders on the sideline. And yes, they'll be wearing pink tutus. Last year five piglets from Pennsylvania -- Beulah, Bubbles, Hank, Khalessa and Othello -- served as cheerleaders. Puppy Bowl VII had chicken cheerleaders and VI featured bunny cheerleaders.
Sorry, Erin Andrews: Meep the Bird is the official sideline reporter of the Puppy Bowl and tweets from the account @MeeptheBird. Rumor has it Meep beat out Erin Andrews for the gig. "We call Meep our Erin Andrews," Schachner said. "Erin Andrews is our inspiration, but Meep is a true professional."

Q: Regex capturing inserted variables in PHP SQL string statements I'm having some regex troubles, using Python 2.7 if that matters.
Basically what I'm trying to do is to capture inserted variables in a PHP SQL query string declaration, for example:
$query  = "SELECT * FROM `users` WHERE user='$user' AND password='$pass';";

This should return $user when I get the second group from the match.
Here's my regex as it stands right now:
r'.*?\s*=\s*\(\".*?\'(\$[^\']+)\'.*?\"\);'

Example showing that this works and captures $user but not the one above (yes I know it doesn't capture $pass as it ideally should, that's seems to be a limitation with Python's implementation and Regex in general. I do some hacks to get around this in my actual program)
The above works for the example I used. However, when I introduce another case where the inserted variable uses the syntax '{$foo['bar']}', my other regex below doesn't work which accounts for the fact that it contains an apostrophe which doesn't close the variable:
r'.*?\s*=\s*[\(]?\".*?(?:(?:\'(\$[^\']+)\')|(?:\'(\$\{[^\}]+\})\'))?.*?\"[\)]?;'

So basically I want to capture either the '$user' syntax or the one with { }, for example '{$foo['bar']}'. Note that these are not exclusive, it's just that an inserted variable may be of either kind and I want to account for both.
Here's a link to test this out, showing that it doesn't work. Using the second regex also breaks capturing the simple $user, not sure why.

A: I am not sure what do you mean by limitation in python because following works as it should:
>>> import re
>>> query = "SELECT * FROM `users` WHERE user='$user' AND password='$pass';";
>>> re.findall(r"='(\$\w+)'", query)
['$user', '$pass']

For matching the other query have a look at this regex demo:
='(\{?\$.+?)(?:'(?:\s|;))

And, code example:
>>> query1 = "(\"SELECT table_schema, table_name, create_time FROM information_schema.tables WHERE table_schema='{$_DVWA['db_database']}' AND table_name='users' LIMIT 1\");"
>>> re.findall(r"='(\{?\$.+?)(?:'(?:\s|;))", query1)
["{$_DVWA['db_database']}"]

# it works on the other query as well
>>> re.findall(r"='(\{?\$.+?)(?:'(?:\s|;))", query)
['$user', '$pass']

Barbecue and baseball, Generals' good-luck charm

PRATTVILLE -- Some baseball players and teams are superstitions. Finding that one thing that works, that gives you comfort, can be invaluable to a team's success.
For Autauga Academy, that "thing" is food.
But not just any food, these Generals have gone to Country's Barbecue before their playoff games, and it's working.
"Every time we've been to Country's we've won, so we try to keep that going," senior catcher Dawson Moncrief said. "When we started eating there, and started winning, it just made us feel better. It made us feel like, 'Hey, we're going to win because we're eating at Country's.' We actually believe it."
The Generals (30-8) will make one more trip to Country's before the state championship best-of-3 series against Glenwood (41-1).
The teams will play a doubleheader beginning at 10 a.m. Wednesday, and play a third game on Thursday, if necessary.
Senior pitcher-first baseman Noah Mills will get the same meal he always does before starting Game 1.
"I usually get the Larry's Special before a game. It's cut up steak, baked potato and fried okra," Mills said. "Hopefully I'll pitch one of the best games of my life Wednesday morning."
It's the second straight trip to the finals for Autauga Academy, and the third in the past five years. The last three trips have ended in heartbreak for the Generals, but they're determined to have a different ending with a veteran group.
"I feel like we have a lot of leadership, a lot of guys that have been there, and been here for a long time," Moncrief said. "The first time we made it was when I was in eighth grade, and we just had a really young team. Now we have an older team, so I feel like that's going to help us a lot.
"I'm really excited about it. This one, I'm not holding anything back. This is going to be my last one, so I'm going to try to do whatever I can to win."
The Generals have eight seniors on the team, five of which play in college: Moncrief to Huntingdon, Mills to Central Alabama Community College, Tre Turner to Alabama Southern and Ty Hall and Tyler Dutton to Lawson State.
An experienced, talented group with one series left in their careers, coach Joe Faulk believes this time will be different.
"I don't think the moment will be too big," Faulk said. "Most of these guys, they were here last year, and they're ready. They know last year we let it get away. Monroe obviously came out and played well. But we'll come out mentally prepared and ready to play."


Our Get Fit Race Series includes three annual races, The Cold As Ice in January and the Hot Blooded in July, and The Get Fit Mayor's Half Marathon and 5K in Sepx. The races are open to runners and walkers of all ages and ability levels. The course winds through the beautiful Wolflin neighborhood of Amarillo and runs on some of the original Cobblestone streets.
In the 5k and 10K we award shoes to the male and female who have the best combined time from both races. We also give awards to the male and female overall, masters, and age group winners.
This race benefits The Bridge Children's Advocacy Center in Amarillo, the first to be established in Texas in 1989.

FDA to authorize Pfizer's deadly COVID-19 vaccine boosters for all adults, despite accelerating post-vaccine deaths
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is now looking to authorize booster shots of Pfizer's Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine for adults. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) committee of vaccine experts has also scheduled a meeting where they will discuss the safety and efficacy of the booster.
If both agencies sign off, any adult who received a second dose of the Pfizer vaccine at least six months prior will be eligible for a booster as early as this weekend.
Some states are already expecting the authorization and have begun encouraging adults to seek out boosters. More than 30 million people so far have already received their third shots.
It is unprecedented for individual states and cities to get ahead of FDA and CDC recommendations, especially considering that both had resisted President Joe Biden's boosters-for-all push amidst concerns of global equity and debates regarding their necessity. The agencies also expressed worries about undermining confidence in the vaccines at a time when millions of Americans have yet to receive their first dose.
However, as federal officials watch states and cities opening up the eligibility on their own and absorbing information about the waning durability of the two-dose vaccine regimen, they decided to reconvene and reconsider their stance.
Dr. Ashish K. Jha, dean of the Brown University School of Public Health, said that infections and hospitalizations are rising. "The holidays are approaching. The data is becoming increasingly clear. It is time for every adult six months out to get a booster."
Biden administration rolls out booster campaign
The Biden administration initially tried to roll out the booster campaign in September, but public health experts said that the regulators needed more time before deciding whether or not the vaccine data supported the program.
FDA vaccine advisory committee member Dr. Paul Offit said that they needed to show why a booster dose is beneficial to 18 to 29-year-olds. If not, the committee will have to consider that myocarditis, which was a second dose phenomenon, may also appear after the third dose. "Do the benefits clearly and definitively outweigh risks for 18 to 29-year-olds?"
Myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart muscle, was an observed side effect of the vaccine – especially on young men who received their second dose of the mRNA vaccines.
In its filing last week, Pfizer noted that new data from a large clinical trial of more than 10,000 fully vaccinated individuals found that a booster dose was over 95 percent effective against COVID-19.
A press release issued by the company said that during the study period, there were only five cases of COVID-19 in the booster group, while there were 109 cases in the non-boosted group. The company also said that the efficacy of the booster dose was consistent across different ages and racial and ethnic groups. (Related: BOMBSHELL: Pfizer lied about death count in key covid "vaccine" clinical trial – fatalities were MUCH higher.)
The Pfizer and Moderna vaccine boosters are currently recommended only for people aged 65 and older, and adults who have underlying health conditions or work or live in high-risk settings. Individuals 18 and older who received the Johnson & Johnson single-dose vaccine are also eligible for a second shot.

Stub, Revolvers, Battlefield 1: In the Name of the Tsar, Sidearms of Battlefield 1
Nagant Revolver
The Nagant M1895 Revolver is a seven-shot, gas-seal revolver designed and produced by Belgian industrialist Léon Nagant for the Russian Empire. It is chambered for a proprietary cartridge, 7.62×38mmR, and features an unusual "gas-seal" system, in which the cylinder moves forward when the gun is cocked, to close the gap between the cylinder and the barrel, providing a boost to the muzzle velocity of the fired projectile and allowing the weapon to be suppressed.[1]
The Pieper M1893 revolver carbine (only available to the Pilot and Tanker classes) is built around the same action as the Nagant revolver.

This item has a Codex entry: Nagant Revolver
"The Nagant Revolver fires a gas seal cartridge, giving it a small boost to muzzle velocity, and making it one of the few revolvers that can be effectively suppressed."
The Nagant Revolver is a weapon introduced in Battlefield 1: In the Name of the Tsar expansion for all infantry classes.
Unlike all other revolvers currently in the game, the Nagant M1895 holds 7 shots in its cylinder instead of the ordinary 6 shots found on other revolvers.
Like most other class-specific revolvers, the Nagant uses a loading gate, meaning that spent cartridges have to be extracted and replaced individually, yielding a very slow reload time.
If the player, however, empties the cylinder completely (fires all 7 shots), the character will pull out the center bar and detach the entire cylinder unit from the frame and replace it with a another, pre-loaded cylinder. This allows all cartridges to be replaced in a single action (similar to the No. 3 Revolver) and makes the Nagant revolver currently the only revolver that can be selectively reloaded either per-cartridge or in a single action.

During an empty magazine reload, the user will disconnect the cylinder that holds the rounds.
Then tosses it to his left hand and grabs a different cylinder and places it where the old revolver cylinder is.
After that, the user switches the revolver to the right hands, puts the rods back in and is ready to fire.
One of the three random reloads for the Nagant is the user holding the revolver up and shaking out the round.
The second random reload is where the users poke the bullets out of the cylinders.
The third random reload where the users using the ejector rod to push the bullets out.
When reloading single cartridges, the player character may randomly alternate between removing spent casing with the ejector rod, shaking them out of the cylinder with their left hand or pushing it out with their right index finger.
