Emilio Sánchez Bueno (Madrid, 5 de julio de 1844 - Madrid, 24 de noviembre de 1878) fue un militar español y héroe del cuerpo de logística español que estudió en la Academia Militar de Ávila siendo reconocido como caballero de primera clase.

Biografía
Nacido en Madrid e hijo de farmacéuticos estudió en la Universidad Complutense de Madrid Filosofía hasta que decidió estudiar la carrera militar. Tras los años propios de estudios y aprovechamiento se produce la Revolución de 1868. Leal a sus jefes, permanece como alférez en el ejército del Sur de España como pagador. Cuando se elige el cambio de régimen a la primera república y a la monarquía de la Casa de Saboya permanece igualmente leal. Cuando en 1874 los problemas acucian se produce el levantamiento Carlista contra la república de transición siendo teniente de formación y quintas. A finales de año se produce el golpe del general Martínez Campos que restaura la monarquía de la Casa de Borbón permaneciendo igualmente en su puesto leal a sus jefes y al nuevo rey Alfonso XII, del que en el futuro será jefe de oficiales de su guardia real.

Servicios
Ingresó en 1861 en la Academia de Intendencia de Ávila, saliendo como alférez de administración militar en 1864. Destinado a la región Sur, se encarga de pagar a la tropa de varias poblaciones como Ceuta y Cádiz. Tras ponerse de parte de las tropas que obtienen el gobierno en 1868, es destinado a Madrid en 1871, acatando las leyes y al nuevo rey Amadeo I de España y Saboya, poco después teniendo que realizar servicios de adiestramientos para la recién estallada Guerras carlistas permanece hasta que le es obligada su presencia como teniente de su compañía de transporte a caballo en Cataluña. Poco más tarde, ante la mejoría de la situación en la zona dirigida por el general Martínez Campos, en 1875 interviene en acciones en Cataluña al mando de su compañía de Transporte y caballería, destacándose en sus acciones, es trasladado ante la mejoría del frente al frente Norte al mando del general Manuel Gutiérrez de la Concha e Irigoyen. En el frente Norte destaca en numerosas batallas con su compañía de transporte por la que es condecorado en varias ocasiones, entre ellas en la Batalla de Abárzuza, en la que fallece el mismo general, y más tarde en la Batalla de San Marcos y Batalla de San Marcial. A su vuelta, con su estado de salud quebrantado y siendo capitán y Comisario de guerra, es destinado a la creación de la Guardia Real, como escolta del rey Alfonso XII. Al enfermar en 1877 se encontraba destinado en la comandancia de Madrid, puesto en el que fallece siendo reconocido como héroe por sus jefes, entre ellos el comandante militar de la plaza y la región militar y es de los pocos militares que tenían la medalla de Benemérito a la patria, apenas conseguida por los militares que llegarán a jefes más tarde, lo que él hubiese sido pronto de no haber fallecido.

Familia
Como descendiente de orígenes nobles de Tierra de campos, fue admitido en la academia militar de Administración militar, tras dejar la Universidad de Madrid donde estudiaba Filosofía en 1861, de donde salió de 2.º oficial de Administración y logística, gracias a los esfuerzos de su madre viuda, Martina.

El militar, que falleció a la edad de Cristo, tuvo numerosa descendencia, destacando su hija Amelia, la que casó con el maestro director del Teatro Real (Madrid) José María Alvira siendo muy clara su descendencia en la sociedad de Madrid. Con ella vivió en sus últimos tiempos, y no pudo conocer a ninguno de sus nietos. Posteriormente sus descendientes han seguido siendo conocidos y respetados entre la sociedad de la capital.

Su nieta fue la conocida empresaria y actriz de teatro y cine Dª Carmen Sánchez Bueno.

Su esposa, Angela Moya de Orozco, con la que se casó en Cádiz en el año 1868 y con la que tuvo varios hijos, era familia del destacado militar Salvador Quero.

Recompensas

Entre las numerosas distinciones que consiguió en los diferentes frentes, se encontraban la Medalla Militar individual con distintivo rojo y dos pasadores, dos cruces blancas, una de Benemérito a la patria. Tenía derecho a la medalla de la campaña que recibió póstumamente en 1877 por lo mucho que se tardó en conceder, recibiéndola su viuda.

WASHINGTON —Immediate makeshift memorials in Las Vegas to the 58 victims killed during the Oct. 1 outdoor country music concert are being replaced by memorial services, vigils and Catholic funerals at the victims' hometowns across the country and in Canada.
Many of the services are taking place in California since 33 of the victims, more than half of those killed at the Route 91 Harvest Festival, were from the Golden State.
Bakersfield, California, two hours north of Los Angeles, was home to three victims of the shooting. A memorial service was held there Oct. 6 at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church for Jack Beaton, a 54-year-old father of two who worked with a roofing company.
More than 800 people attended the service where Beaton was remembered as a fun-loving friend, a hard worker, a kindhearted neighbor and a devoted husband and father of an 18-year-old daughter and 20-year-old son. He and his wife, Laurie, attended the concert to celebrate their 23rd wedding anniversary. He died in her arms after putting his body on top of hers to protect her.
In San Francisco, a funeral Mass was celebrated Oct. 12 at St. Mary's Cathedral for Stacee Etcheber, a 50-year-old hairstylist and mother of two children, 10 and 12, who was attending the Las Vegas concert with her husband, Vince, a San Francisco police officer.
At the funeral Mass, so close to where the devastating wildfires are happening, the San Francisco Chronicle said it was not lost at anyone that Etcheber was exactly the kind of person the area needed at this time.
She was described as someone who wouldn't have thought twice about volunteering and doing what she could for the thousands affected by the fires. She also would have been the "the incident commander" getting horses to safety, Father Michael Quinn, pastor of St. Mary Star of the Sea in Sausalito, California, told the congregation.
The Etchebers had been separated during the chaos of the shooting. Her husband, who survived, was helping many of the wounded at the concert.
Although Stacee was not a member of the San Francisco Police Department, her funeral included many of the honors of an officer's funeral. Bagpipers played as officers with the department's mounted unit stood their horses at attention outside the cathedral.
Some of those in attendance wore orange ribbons for Stacee's favorite color.
The same day, a funeral Mass was celebrated for 28-year-old Christopher Roybal, a 10-year veteran of the U.S. Navy at St. Matthew's Church in Corona, California.
Roybal had gone to the concert with his mother, and like many others, they were separated in the confusion during and after the shooting took place.
"He always made me feel so beautiful, so amazing, and I'm sure that a lot of you in here understand exactly what I'm saying because he was such an amazing soul," his mother said at the funeral, according to the local ABC news affiliate KABC, which also reported that the priest encouraged the congregation to sing Roybal a country song as a final goodbye.
Roybal's father said his son's Navy training immediately kicked in when the gunfire started.
He suspected that his son "immediately went into that mode of protecting everybody around him like he did in Afghanistan — the sound nobody will understand — Christopher just started saving lives and not for one second thought about his own life," he said.
In Alberta, Canada, a candlelight vigil took place just two days after the Las Vegas shooting at St. Rita's Catholic Church in Valleyview for Jessica Klymchuk, a 34-year-old mother of four and educational assistant at St. Stephen's Catholic School, across the street from the church.
"I just really, really miss her," said a 10-year-old at the vigil. An 11-year-old described her as the kindest person he knew, reported CBC News in Canada.
Klymchuk, one of four Canadians killed in the mass shooting, attended the festival with her fiance. She wore several hats at the school where she was a bus driver, a classroom aide and librarian.
A celebration of life for Sandy Casey, a newly engaged 35-year-old resident of Redondo Beach, California, was scheduled to take place Oct. 17 at the United Church of Dorset and East Rupert in Dorset, Vermont, where her family lives.
Casey, who was a special education teacher at Manhattan Beach Middle School near Los Angeles, attended the College of St. Joseph in Rutland, Vermont, and received a master's degree in special education in 2005 from Assumption College in Worcester, Massachusetts.

Title: Diet and lifestyle factors associated with vitamin D status in healthy women living in the United Kingdom and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Author: Bushnaq, Taqwa Abdulraheem
Awarding Body: Manchester Metropolitan University
Current Institution: Manchester Metropolitan University
http://e-space.mmu.ac.uk/556/
Background: Vitamin D is integral to bone health and skeletal growth. There is now growing evidence that vitamin D deficiency is one of the most common diseases worldwide, not only in countries with limited sunshine, such as the United Kingdom (UK) but also in countries with substantial sunshine, such as the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). Aims: The aim of the research was to study vitamin D intake and lifestyle factors that may affect vitamin D production in women adopting different clothing styles within two countries, Saudi women in the KSA, as well as the UK covered (UKc) and the UK uncovered (UKun) women. Methods: The study methods were designed to collect participants' dietary vitamin D intake, sun exposure routine, other influential lifestyle factors, and vitamin D status. Participants were asked to complete, a vitamin D questionnaire (which included: demographic information, food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) and sun-exposure questionnaire), a 3-day food diary, and a blood sample was taken. A total of 192 participants were recruited and of these 145 completed the vitamin D questionnaire. The 3-day food diary were completed by 57 women, and 79 women gave a blood sample. Data were explained as mean±standard-deviations or percentage(frequency). Statistical test including ANOVA and Chi-square was used to determine differences between groups. Regression modelling was used to determine predictors of doctor-diagnosed vitamin D deficiency. Results: The FFQ estimation of dietary vitamin D intake was 3.6±3µg/day, 9.2±11µg/day, and 8.6±6.5µg/day, for the KSA, the UKc and the UKun group respectively (p˂0.01). The 3-day food diary estimation of dietary vitamin D intake was 1.4±1.3µg/day, 1.0±1.0µg/day, 3.3±3.2µg/day, for the KSA, the UKc and the UKun group respectively (p=0.03). Bland-Altman plot showed the two methods had low agreement, mean difference -3.93µg. The sun-exposure assessment at peak-time was 2.3±2.8hour/day, 3.0±2.4hour/day, 1.2±1.4 hour/day for the KSA, the UKc and the UKun group respectively (p˂0.01). Whereas, assessment of fractions of exposed body surface area (BSA) at peak-time was 0.11±0.04, 0.09±0.03, 0.14±0.09 for the KSA, the UKc and the UKun group respectively (p˂0.01). The reported data of vitamin D status showed that previous diagnoses of vitamin D deficiency reported by 28.3%(n=41) of the participants, KSA 8.3%(n=12), UKc 17.9%(n=26) and UKun 2.1%(n=3). The collected blood samples showed that 79%(n=15) of the KSA group had vitamin D deficiency, with average level 7.53±6.91ng/ml. However, vitamin D level of the UK groups could not be obtained. Logistic regression modelling identified that supplements use and reasons for supplementation, log of average BSA exposed at peak hours and residency were predictors of being diagnosed with vitamin D deficiency of the total population (n=192). Conclusion: Dietary vitamin D intake was very low for all the study groups regardless of residency. Sun-exposure habits varied between the group and this was most significant factor in previously diagnosed vitamin D deficiency. It may be difficult to change sun-exposure habits due to cultural or religious reasons and therefore dietary factors need to be studied to identify alternatives to sun-exposure in those who do not wish to expose their skin.


Starting and Building a Business can be a challenging experience and journey but usually very worthwhile in the end! In order to motivate and strengthen you for this worthwhile and often life-changing journey, I will share with you some outstanding benefits of starting and building your own Business, let's go!
1.If you start your own business, you get to do what you love. There is a place to gain experience, and a place to use the experience gamed in your own business. You have your freedom and time to yourself. You can be creative. You can set the tone of your business. You can determine your marketing strategy and the customer (service) experience you want to give to your customers without having to wait for anyone's approval.
2.You can create a legacy. Your business can become a legacy that you leave behind for future generations. You also have a bigger opportunity to impact other people because now, you are in the driving seat. You can have a major impact on the progress and lives of others.
3.You gain satisfaction and fulfilment when you start your own business. A lot of people are stuck in jobs they don't like; the job is convenient and well-paid, but they do not enjoy what they do. Your own business will give you that satisfaction and fulfilment a day job may not give you.
4.You will be in control of your time, efforts and money. As long as your business is doing well; you can give yourself a raise. You can work around your family and commitments.
Starting your own business can be very profitable. Nothing is impossible.
Go out there and build an enterprise that you will leave as a legacy; an enterprise that can become a very profitable one.
5.You can create a passive income for yourself. Money comes in, even when you are sleeping, especially if you sell digital products and /sell your products and services online.
You can go into affiliate marketing (become a reseller) – where you sell other people's products and services for them, and you get a percentage of every sale you make. You can choose to sell products and services in that area that you enjoy.
6.The Network marketing business is also another area some people have found success in. It is usually a ready-made "business in a box" and some entrepreneurs may prefer it, as they can avoid much of the heavy-lifting that comes with putting together all of the aspects of owning your own business, especially at the beginning.
*Excel Woman is an organisation that Equips and Empowers Women for Success – check ExcelWoman.TV for Help and Resources with Starting and Building a Business You Love.
8.Don't let your day job stop you. There are a lot of 5pm – 9pm entrepreneurs out there. If you can't start your own business full-time now, start part-time. You're building a legacy, a dream, a pathway that can help you make a difference in the lives of others. You can make a difference in your world through your business.
9.You can start your business as a second career. This is the opportunity to have that thing that you didn't have in your first career. Again, it can be a part-time affair; you don't have to leave your day job. Build your income and clientele before you decide to go full time. Don't let money stand between you and your dreams. Social media and other online marketing tools are a great way to promote your business both locally and globally from the comfort of your smart phone. Put systems in place before you go full time.
If I could do it; you can too. God is no respecter of persons!

Q: Convert Base64 String with Gwt How to convert a base64 String to byte array with Gwt client side code?
This link shows a encode decode,  for base64 but not to byte[]  array
https://snipt.net/tweakt/gwt-base64/

A: You have two options:
1- Use native JS methods btoa and atob, and convert the returned string to a java byte[] array:
 native String btoa(String b64) /*-{
    return btoa(b64);
 }-*/;
 ...
 byte[] result = btoa(myBase64Data).getBytes();

2- Use a pure java implementation of Base64 algorithm. You can just copy the Base64Utils.java included in the gwt-user.jar, and copy it to your client package, and use its methods:
 import my.project.namespace.client.Base64Utils;
 ...
 byte[] result = Base64Utils.fromBase64(myBase64Data);

Normally I use #1 for IE10, FF and webkit browsers, and #2 for old IE.

A: Try to use this library https://code.google.com/p/gwt-crypto
It was successful for me.

National Day of Unplugging: Count me out
Today's San Francisco Chronicle has a story on the National Day of Unplugging, which is from sundown today to sundown tomorrow (Saturday).
It's in the Business section, with a big picture of Anne Wojcicki, cofounder of 23andme Inc. and Sergey Brin's wife. Wojcicki "sometimes carries four cell phones, sleeps with a BlackBerry on her pillow and finds herself instant messaging people sitting next to her."
The reporter seems to think that everyone is as addicted as she seems to be: "Consider how increasingly rare it is to get through a conversation or a meal without someone glancing at their phone." Really? We took my brother & sister-in-law out to dinner last night (at a casual Italian place), the place was nearly full, and I don't believe I saw one cell phone in use at any table in our vicinity–certainly not ours. Yes, I do see some people at some lunch places making a point of placing their phones on the table so they're always in touch. I wouldn't voluntarily dine or converse with these folks.
Wojcicki "hopes to institute the tradition weekly around the household" and says "It's really about achieving balance and spending some time where you're really just connected with the environment and the people around you."
So during Sabbath (yes, the NDU was created by a group "focused on updating Jewish traditions to make them more relevant to modern life") you'll take 24 precious hours away from Your Precious in all its connecting glory. And think you've achieved balance?
I'm not having it. Oh, it's quite likely that I won't be on a cell phone between sundown tonight and sundown Saturday: That's true most days. But I'll almost certainly use email and FriendFeed and look at other online sources as appropriate. Never during a meal, to be sure, and never during a conversation, and not while we're out enjoying the real world, and not when we're watching TV, and not when I'm reading.
That's called balance: making an appropriate place for interruptive technology and keeping it in its place. Period. Except for emergencies–and, you know, you'd be surprised how few true emergencies there are in most people's lives.
Hey, if declaring a National Day gets that Blackberry off your pillow for one night, I guess that's progress. But don't tell me it's balance, and don't confuse taking an occasional timeout with achieving some form of sensible balance.

4 Responses to "National Day of Unplugging: Count me out"
I've never known a significant act that didn't start from a small act. Count me in.
T Scott says:
Yes, balance. It's not that hard to achieve, but it requires thought and discipline. Marian (32 yr old stepdaughter) loves her iPhone and loves being in touch. Lynn (60 yr old spouse) lives through her Blackberry. Josie (6 yr old granddaughter) manipulates her Mom's iPhone with ease and sent her first email a week ago. But when we're together having dinner at our house, we're at the dining room table and the devices are not. When we go out to eat (as we do about once a week) we're focused on engaging with each other, and we have a fine time. Occasionally, if Lynn or Marian are waiting for something that has some urgency, they'll keep an eye on their phone, but that's an exception that's explained and allowed.
Disconnecting for 24 hours might make you feel like you're doing something special, but it's not going to help you achieve balance.
walt says:
John: I'm not telling you not to join in–but what T.Scott says. If not being a slave to connectivity is so Special that it requires a National Day, then there's something wrong. But that's just me.
"then there's something wrong" … of that I am sure

European Competition Law Newsletter – September 2014
Compliance Warning; Classic Resale Price Maintenance Case in Germany
On 22 August 2014, the German competition authority, Bundeskartellamt (BKA), fined a mattress manufacturer €8.2 million for imposing resale price maintenance (RPM) on retailers selling its products. The case, which initiated from third-party complaints, is a classic example of "what not to do" in a company's relationship with its independent distributors and would serve as an excellent example in an internal compliance programme.
According to the BKA, the manufacturer in question (Recticel) had engaged in various illegal activities designed to ensure that retailers would not offer certain strategic "Schlaraffia" products below the resale price set by Recticel. In particular, RPM was enforced in talks about compliance with the minimum sales prices, or in correspondence reminding the retailers of or requesting compliance with the minimum sales prices. Further, whenever a retailer failed to observe the price maintenance and other retailers complained about this, "renewed discussion" was held with the retailer to induce it to raise the price, which in most cases resulted in an agreement on the resale prices.
This applied to offline and online sales, but additional measures were taken concerning the latter. Recticel offered selected online dealers the opportunity to advertise themselves as "authorised Schlaraffia online dealers" using Recticel's logo and data, provided they offered prices which were not lower than the set minimum sales prices for the strategic product lines. Infringements of this condition were redressed by, for example, barring the dealer from Google-Adwords or from Ebay under Ebay's brand protection programme (for the unauthorised usage of manufacturers' data). Some retailers also were threatened with delays in supply or legal steps if they did not adjust the price of their offers to the minimum sales prices set by Recticel.
European Commission Proceeds against Territorial Restrictions on Resale
The European Commission (EC) is keen to stamp down any measures which raise barriers to trade within the single market of the EU. This includes territorial restrictions on resale.
One species of such restrictions includes those imposed by dominant suppliers on their customers, and in the past the EC has proceeded against a number of energy suppliers which have used such terms. The most recent example is its case against Bulgarian Energy Holding (BEH), the incumbent state-owned vertically-integrated energy company in Bulgaria.
The EC announced on 12 August 2015 that it has provisionally found that the majority of electricity supply contracts entered into between BEH and traders stipulate that electricity supplied by BEH may only be resold within Bulgaria or may only be exported. The contracts also contain control and sanctioning mechanisms which allow BEH to monitor and punish customers who fail to comply with these territorial restrictions. This could be an abuse of BEH's dominant position.
This case is of importance to dominant companies and customers of such companies in the EU, whatever the sector. Customers can protect themselves against dominant companies using such a provision in a number of ways, including initiating court action and making a complaint to the EC or a national competition regulator.
How to Acquire Assets without Obtaining a State Aid Liability
A purchaser of assets from a company which has received illegal aid from an EU member state may be liable to repay that aid with interest. This could clearly be a significant issue for the purchaser due to the impact on the valuation of the assets.
A recent case decided by the EC provides an example of how properly to structure an acquisition of assets so as to avoid such a concern. On 31 July 2014, the EC decided that Belgian crystal manufacturer Val Saint-Lambert (VSL) had received aid from the Walloon Region (part of the Belgian state). This aid included a loan guarantee, the assignment and exclusive use of the VSL brand, a loan, an increase in capital and funding of works to clean up pollution. None of this aid could be exempted under EU competition law, and therefore it was declared illegal, with the result that VSL must repay it.
Some of VSL's assets are, however, being sold and, in a separate decision of the same day, the EC concluded that the repayment obligation would not be transferred to the buyer of those assets owing to the absence of "economic continuity" with VSL. This issue was analysed using the standard indicators used by the EC in these cases: the extent of the assets sold, the sale price, the identity of the buyer, the timing of the sale and the economic logic of the transaction.
The buyer of the assets, having obtained this "no continuity" decision from the EC, is free of the risk of repayment. However, similar buyers have got this wrong, and it pays to be careful in these situations. This is particularly the case since aid can arise in any form, the basic test being whether an advantage has been obtained which would not have been obtained under normal market conditions.

With only a week to go before I was due to pull up stakes and head back to NH, there was time for one more adventure. After a false start thinking I wanted to go to Hell for Sure Pass over on the West Side (I did drive all the way up to Courtright Reservior), I came back and settled on plan B. That turned out to be an intro to the Ritter Range and Minarets. Knowing the shortest way in there was to use the now familiar Rush Creek approach, I came up with a Summit Lake loop. Lots of ups and downs along with some aggressive camping restrictions, but still a nice intro to the area.

Q: Sending attachments via PowerShell from Azure Storage When I follow the guidance from this website https://adamtheautomator.com/send-mailmessage/
Why does the test result state that it's unable to find the file, even though the file appears in my Azure File Explorer?
Below is the code:
$Username ="<username>"
$Password = ConvertTo-SecureString "<password" -AsPlainText -Force
$credential = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential $Username, $Password
$SMTPServer = "<server>"
$EmailFrom = "<from email>"
[string[]]$EmailTo = "<to email>"
$Subject = "TEST MESSAGE"

# Setting the Azure Storage Context, recommendation is to read sastoken from Runbook assets for security purpose.

$context = New-AzureStorageContext -StorageAccountName "<ACCOUNT NAME>" -SasToken "<SAS TOKEN>"

# Get contents of the file
$attachment = Get-Content "<filename>"
$Body = "<Body Message>"

Send-MailMessage -smtpServer $SMTPServer -Attachments <file_name> -Credential $credential -Usessl -Port 587 -from $EmailFrom -to $EmailTo -subject $Subject -Body $Body -BodyAsHtml

A: With this like
$attachment = Get-Content "<filename>"

I am suspecting you are trying to send the contents of the file in parameter -Attachments, rather than the full path and filename itself.
If that is the case, simply remove that line and add the full filename there:
# suppose your file is `'C:\Temp\4wved2xx.juf\MyFile.txt'`
-Attachments 'C:\Temp\4wved2xx.juf\MyFile.txt'

To avoid long, LONG command lines with cmdlets like Send-MailMessage that take lots of parameters, I would suggest using Splatting
$Username   ='<username>'
$Password   = ConvertTo-SecureString '<password>' -AsPlainText -Force
$credential = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential $Username, $Password

# set up a hashtable for splatting the parameters to the Send-MailMessage cmdlet
$mailParams = @{
    From        = 'someone@yourdomain.com'
    To          = 'someone.else@yourdomain.com'
    Subject     = 'TEST MESSAGE'
    Body        = '<Body Message>'
    BodyAsHtml  = $true
    Attachments = 'C:\Temp\4wved2xx.juf\MyFile.txt'  # can be multiple files in an array of Full filenames
    SmtpServer  = 'smtp.yourdomain.com'
    Port        = 587
    Usessl      = $true
    Credential  = $credential

    # other parameters go here
}

Send-MailMessage @mailParams

Please also note the use of single-quotes which is especially important when specifying the password to make sure PowerShell takes the string literally.

Property and the Regulatory State at the Supreme Court
March 21, 2013July 24, 2018By Adam J. MacLeod
The Supreme Court's conflicted rulings on whether the government must compensate property owners for burdening their rights and interests raises questions about the value of private property in American life. The first in a two-part series.
By the time this term ends, the Supreme Court will have heard not one, not two, but three cases about the reach of the takings clause of the Fifth Amendment. These cases bring to the Court opportunities to affirm the important role that private property plays in American life.
An important constitutional protection for private property, the takings clause states, "nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation." The body of constitutional law that the Court has derived from this provision is anything but simple, and the extent of its reach remains uncertain. Takings clause cases have for some time been battlegrounds where deep, principled disagreements are joined. Though the briefs and judicial opinions employ the language of Fifth Amendment doctrine, underlying the different views of the constitutional text are radical differences about the importance of private property and the amount of respect the regulatory state owes to property's role in society.
In early takings clause cases these differences were sometimes clearly stated, and always close to the surface. In the 1922 case, Pennsylvania Coal Company v. Mahon, the Court ruled that a state that prohibits a use of property by regulation must pay just compensation under the takings clause, just as if it had taken title to the property by exercising its power of eminent domain. Justice Holmes, writing for the majority, conceded that the values served by private property "are enjoyed under an implied limitation and must yield to the police power" of the state. But, he insisted, "usually in ordinary private affairs the public interest does not warrant" interference with property rights. And the state could not lawfully ignore the value of the estate in land that it had destroyed. When constitutional protections for property are qualified by the public interest, "the natural tendency of human nature is to extend the qualification more and more until at last private property disappears." Constitutional protections for property must have some force, Holmes thought, lest the state crowd private property out of public life.
Justice Brandeis dissented in that case. Building on the shared premise that property rights are not absolute, Brandeis observed that some uses of property can "seriously threaten the public welfare." He insisted, "Whenever they do, the legislature has power to prohibit such uses without paying compensation." A regulatory "restriction imposed to protect the public health, safety or morals from dangers threatened is not a taking," he maintained. The state must have a free hand to stand against private property owners on behalf of the public, Brandeis believed, especially where the "self-interest" of property owners was insufficient to restrain them. "If public safety is imperiled," Brandeis argued, neither property nor contract should be allowed to "prevail against the exercise of the police power." Brandeis thus barely concealed his view that the state is the guardian and promoter of the public good, and that private property owners engage in selfish pursuits at best and, at worst, pose serious threats to public welfare.
In 1978, those conceptions of property and the regulatory state were reversed. In Penn Central Transportation Company v. New York City, a majority of the Court adopted the Brandeis position. "Property," the Court declaimed, consists only of those interests in which a landowner has a reasonable, investment-backed expectation. Whenever a state reasonably concludes that the destruction of "property interests" is necessary to promote the public's health, safety, morals, or general welfare, the state must be free to destroy those interests. Because the regulation in that case—an historic landmark designation, which prevented Penn Central from building an office tower over Grand Central Terminal in New York—did not interfere with Penn Central's "primary expectation concerning the use of the parcel" (a train station), and allowed Penn Central to retain what the Court deemed a "reasonable return" on its investment in the property, the regulation was not a taking for which the City had to pay just compensation.
Then-Justice Rehnquist, writing in dissent, articulated a much broader conception of property. Penn Central's right to develop the space above the train station was not merely an interest but a property right. The Constitution's property protections, Rehnquist insisted, are addressed to "every sort of interest the citizen may possess" (emphasis in original). And he criticized the majority's implicit assumption that property rights exist at the pleasure of the state. He wrote, "A taking does not become a noncompensable exercise of police power simply because the government, in its grace, allows the owner to make some 'reasonable' use of his property."
Every once in a while this foundational dispute still comes to the surface. In a case decided in 2001, a state argued that a landowner who acquires title after a regulation is enacted cannot complain of the deprivation that the regulation caused, because such a landowner takes title with notice of the regulation. The Court rejected this argument, commenting, "The State may not put so potent a Hobbesian stick into the Lockean bundle [of rights]."
But more often than not, the justices adhere to the script of constitutional doctrine, and the political philosophers remain offstage. A significant protection secured for property owners in one case is undermined by a seemingly technical adjustment to legal doctrine in the next case. Then the Court announces a new protection against regulatory excess and the pendulum swings back the other way. Thus the complexity, and even confusion, in takings clause jurisprudence can seem rather arbitrary. The result is insecurity of property rights. If a private citizen deprives another citizen of property, then he must pay compensation. But if the government deprives a citizen of his property, then it might be required to pay, or it might not, depending upon how a court weighs various factors.
One of the takings clause cases before the Court this term illustrates the problem. Arkansas Game & Fish Commission v. United States posed the question whether government actions that result in recurring, intermittent flood invasions upon an owner's land—here, the Army Corps of Engineers' operation of a dam, which resulted in the death of thousands of trees on the claimant's land downstream—give rise to a just compensation claim under the takings clause.
As difficult as this question might have been if it were one of first impression, it was further vexed as a result of the Court's own precedents. The Court had previously ruled that, if government action causes a temporary deprivation of property use, and that deprivation amounts to a taking, then the government must provide compensation, just as it would for a permanent taking. But it had also ruled that temporary flooding does not amount to a taking. On the other hand, it had also ruled that "intermittent but inevitably recurring overflows" are permanent floods, and therefore are takings. In Arkansas Game & Fish Commission, the government invited the Court to rule that an intermittent overflow that varies in its timing is "inherently temporary," and therefore does not effect a taking. During oral argument in this case, Justice Breyer allowed that the Court's doctrine in this area is "somewhat arbitrary."
This arbitrariness reveals the danger of making property rights dependent upon the nature of government action. These hairs are split without reference to simple, intuitive concepts, such as "mine" and "yours." Property rights are not certain or secure, and are therefore less effectual at promoting the common good.
Nevertheless, the complexities in this area of law also demonstrate that the regulatory state has not completely crowded property out of public life, as Holmes feared. Private property does command some respect at the Court. Oral argument in the Arkansas case went badly for the government. The government argued that it must have a free hand to choose winners and losers when it gets into the flood-control business, and that it cannot be made to pay for damage that it causes downstream. Justice Sotomayor was "totally confused" by this argument. Justice Scalia thought the government was trying to "overrule the Takings Clause."
In a decision announced just a few weeks later, the Court ruled 8-0 (with one abstention) against the federal government. Justice Ginsburg announced the Court's "modest decision" that "government-induced flooding temporary in duration gains no automatic exemption from Takings Clause inspection." The Game & Fish Commission must still navigate the labyrinth of regulatory takings doctrine, but it is not categorically barred from pressing its claim. The Court did little to clarify the law, but it also avoided placing a new limitation on the takings clause.
Last term the Court handed down a decision in Sackett v. EPA, another case with significant implications for private property. The Court's Sackett decision affirmed the statutory rights of landowners to contest burdensome assessments by the Environmental Protection Agency. It also contained a strong dictum. The right to judicial review of the EPA's assessments constituted, as the Court put it, "a repudiation of the principle that efficiency of regulation conquers all." Justice Alito wrote separately to stress that the government's position, which "would have put the property rights of ordinary Americans at the mercy of [EPA] employees," was "unthinkable" in a nation that values private property.
The question thus is squarely framed. Should we be a nation that values private property? Amid increasing skepticism of the fairness of private property, that question calls out for an answer. I will turn to that question tomorrow.

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — The US 101st Airborne Division ended Operation United Assistance that provided support to ongoing efforts to prevent the Ebola epidemic from spreading in Liberia, the US Department of Defense said in a statement.
"The 101st Airborne Division cased its colors during a ceremony yesterday at the Barclay Training Center here [in Liberia], marking the end of Operation United Assistance for the Joint Forces Command," the statement said.
The ceremony signified the completion of a five-month deployment to Liberia in support of the US Agency for International Development-led mission to contain the Ebola epidemic.

"[T]he United States military brought our full weight to bear in support of our government's response to contain the Ebola virus in Liberia," US Army Major General Gary Volesky said.
Volesky explained that the US military established in Liberia four Ebola mobile testing labs and treatment centers, and trained 1500 healthcare workers. All construction tasks, healthcare worker training and logistical sustainment operations to contain Ebola have been transitioned to reliable partners, he added.
The logistics bases were built to allow for closer access to supplies to continually supply the Ebola testing lab operations and Ebola treatment units, according to the statement.
The US 101st Airborne division is based in Fort Campbell, Kentucky, and its component in Liberia was comprised of engineers, medical personnel, logisticians, and other specialties, the statement said.

The Fed pointed out that inflation for items other than food and energy remains near 2 percent, its target level. It says traders now put the probability of any Fed rate hike this year at zero and project a one-in-four chance that the Fed will actually cut rates by year's end to help prevent a slowing economy from toppling into a recession.
The Fed also indicated it would begin slowing its policy of reducing its holdings of US government-issued debt securities in May 2019 and stop reducing its quantitative tightening policy altogether in September 2019. The two-year yield, which reflects investor expectations about interest rate hikes on Wednesday fell 6.9 basis points but was last up 1.2 basis points at 2.413 per cent. In doing so, the Fed joined the other major central banks in raising concerns over a global economic slowdown.
Stocks got a brief bump from news that the Federal Reserve doesn't plan to raise rates this year, but still ended mostly lower after those gains faded. In regard to its balance sheet, the Fed said it would slow its decreases of the asset portfolio and end runoff of Treasury holdings in September, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The British currency tumbled 0.73 percent against the USA dollar on a rising probability of a "no-deal" Brexit that would likely slow economic growth.
"I think we are bracing for another shoe to drop", said Scott Anderson, chief economist at Bank of the West in San Francisco.
Growth in Europe and China has weakened and there are conflicting signs about how the USA economy is doing. Powell is expected to note that while the US economy is on firm footing, it faces risks from slowing growth and trade conflicts.
Benchmark U.S. 10-year notes last fell 1/32 in price to yield 2.5387 percent, from 2.537 percent late on Wednesday. Sign up and join DailyFX Currency Analyst David Song LIVE for an opportunity to discuss potential trade setups. The exact mix will matter a great deal down the road, given that the Fed opted this week to sacrifice policy flexibility for 2019 in favor of giving bullish investors exactly what they desired.
Fed officials are now expecting the economy to cool down more than previous projections. The real action centred in the bond market, where prices rose sharply, pulling Treasury yields down to the lowest levels they've seen in more than a year.
The Federal Reserve says US growth has slowed from the "solid" rate seen back in the fourth quarter of 2018 and this can be expected to lead to an easing of inflation over the coming months, which means the bank is under less pressure to raise its interest rate.

US states see small protests ahead of Joe Biden inauguration
World Monday 18/January/2021 16:47 PM
Police and National Guard troops were deployed Sunday to fortified US government houses around the country in preparation for a potential wave of violent protests by supporters of President Donald Trump.
Federal and state law enforcement officials warned of possible fresh disturbances around state legislatures after a large pro-Trump mob stormed the US Capitol building in Washington DC on January 6.
The riot led to dozens of arrests and the second impeachment of the president.
Trump supporters believe that he won the election and that fraud was committed on a massive scale, despite strong evidence to the contrary and no evidence surfacing to prove their point of view in dozens of courts that heard cases on the matter.
Sunday's protests began in a quiet and peaceful manner, including at the Ohio, South Carolina, Texas and Michigan statehouses, where some of the demonstrators were reported to be armed.
A newspaper reported that the extremist Boogaloo bois movement was present in several locations, carrying military-style rifles. It said the men were part of a group who hopes that a second civil war will lead to the overthrow of the US government.
In addition to increasing police presence, and erecting barriers to protect their legislatures, some states, including Pennsylvania, Texas and Kentucky, took the further step of closing their capitol grounds to the public.
FBI warns of extremist groups
The US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has warned that armed protesters could turn up, as right-wing extremists have been emboldened by the deadly siege in Washington.
Security officials have singled out the anti-government "boogaloo" movement in particular, as one that has made plans weeks ago to hold rallies in all 50 states.
It remained unclear whether the increased security presence could lead some protesters to stay at home.
Some right-wing militia groups have canceled a long-planned pro-gun demonstration, like that of the state of Virginia, which was planned for Monday.
They have told followers to stay home this weekend, citing the increase in security as law enforcement traps.
Security officials on Sunday arrested an elected official from New Mexico who had vowed to travel to Washington with firearms to protest President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration, according to the US Justice State Department.
Cuoy Griffin, a New Mexico county commissioner and founder of a group called "Cowboys for Trump," was among the thousands of people who stormed the Capitol Hill in an attempt to block Congress from certifying Biden's victory over Trump.
Authorities said Griffin returned to New Mexico after the riot, where he said at a January 14 meeting of the Otero County Council that he planned to go back to Washington to protest Biden's inauguration on Wednesday.
Fortress Washington
Meanwhile, the District of Columbia has been ramping up security in and around the US Capitol in Washington. On Sunday, the downtown area was a virtual ghost town, except for battalions of camouflaged National Guard soldiers.
The troops began arriving in the US capital days ago, with the aim of fortifying the city against potential protests and violence during the transfer of power from Trump to President-elect Joe Biden.
Biden's inauguration is scheduled to take place on Wednesday, January 20, in a scaled-down ceremony that will still be celebrated on the steps of the US Capitol.
Authorities were on high alert when on Saturday a man with a loaded handgun, shoddy credentials and more than 500 rounds of ammunition was arrested at a security checkpoint near the Capitol.
The man told authorities that it was "an honest mistake" and that he was a private security guard who got lost on his way to work near the Capitol.

Q: How to execute PowerShell script as administrator from Visual Studio C# code I wrote a PowerShell script it works just fine when I run it in PowerShell ISE as an admin.
But when I run it from my C# code it doesn't work:
InitialSessionState runspaceConfiguration = InitialSessionState.Create();
Runspace runspace = RunspaceFactory.CreateRunspace(runspaceConfiguration);

runspace.Open();

Pipeline pipeline = runspace.CreatePipeline();
string rawScript = File.ReadAllText(scriptPath);

using (PowerShell posh = PowerShell.Create().AddCommand(@scriptPath))
{
    string script = "Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted; Get-ExecutionPolicy"; // the second command to know the ExecutionPolicy level
    posh.AddScript(script);

    foreach (DictionaryEntry de in parameters)
    {
        posh.AddArgument($"{(string)de.Key}, {de.Value}");
    }

    posh.Invoke();

    Collection<PSObject> psObjects = pipeline.Invoke();
    runspace.Close();
}

I tried setting ExecutionPolicy to unrestricted, and running Visual Studio as an admin but it didn't work

A: You can use the Turn on Script Execution Group Policy setting to manage the execution policy of computers in your enterprise. The Group Policy setting overrides the execution policies set in PowerShell in all scopes.
The Turn on Script Execution policy settings are as follows:
If you disable Turn on Script Execution, scripts do not run. This is equivalent to the Restricted execution policy.
If you enable Turn on Script Execution, you can select an execution policy. The Group Policy settings are equivalent to the following execution policy settings:

The PowerShellExecutionPolicy.adm and PowerShellExecutionPolicy.admx files add the Turn on Script Execution policy to the Computer Configuration and User Configuration nodes in Group Policy Editor in the following paths.
For Windows XP and Windows Server 2003:
Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows PowerShell
For Windows Vista and later versions of Windows:
Administrative Templates\Classic Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows PowerShell
Policies set in the Computer Configuration node take precedence over policies set in the User Configuration node.


HLHS (hypoplastic left heart syndrome) is a heart defect that affects 1,000+ newborns each year in the United States, in which the left side of the heart is severely underdeveloped, and the right side of the heart must pump blood to both the lungs and the body. The only treatment for HLHS is aggressive, early intervention. The most common approach involves a three-stage surgical procedure. The operations are performed within the first few years of life and create reliable blood flow in and out of the functional heart chambers.
The vital signs of these infants need to be constantly monitored (heart rate, blood oxygen saturation, food intake, etc.) as any significant change could lead to an emergency situation or worse. There is not enough data for researchers to understand the triggers and causes of this condition or for emergency episodes.
Working in partnership with the renowned Mayo Clinic, Customer Analytics developed a mobile application for use by caregivers for real-time monitoring of vital statistics of babies with HLHS. This application also provided instantaneous alerts to the caregivers and healthcare team when conditions suggest potential emergency situations.
The mobile app is coupled with a web application that allows physicians and nursing staff to remotely see vital statistics and health status in real time, in one dashboard. A multidimensional "Researcher" view was also developed for researchers to view data, alerts and other information across patients.
Parents can now feel more confident taking their infants home to care for on their own in between surgeries. Doctors can keep a constant eye on the health status of the babies and track their stats over time. And researchers can analyze data from HLHS patients.
A free version of this app , HLHS Health Journal is available in the Apple App Store.


Have you checked your GFI?
Yes, GFI is on a separate breaker, also microwave works.
Maybe you hit a switch somewhere and cut it off while cleaning. Don't understand overhead lights not working as they work off the 12 volt . Sure sounds like a GFI is kicked. Will the AC work?
When I go to battery fan comes on but didn't try kicking a.c. on. My GFI is on a separate breaker and all my plugs work. Even took off back cover and checked the refrigerator plug and there is power there. Could it be from the converter????
Overhead works with battery on, they don't work off of electric???????
Should have said, do overheads only work off battery and not electric???
There are two systems in your rig 12 vdc and 120 vac. A converter changes the 120 vac to 12 vdc. The 12 vdc usually powers lighting and provides power for control boards and fans in things like the refrigerator, furnace and water heater. The 120 vac will items power the AC. TV and microwave .
Have you checked your house batteries to see if they have a full charge? Need to be checked under load. If your lights will work the converter is probably working. If they want work when not hooked to shore power I think you have batt problem. The fridge will not work if it dont see 12 volts. My HR has a switch right by the door that cuts the batts off.
Battery is new, just installed about 10 days ago. They work when I switch the battery on. I am not good at these things but trying to learn.
The no lights when hooked to shore power I dont understand because they work off the 12 volts and they work when just on battery power. If it was just the fridge not working I would say fridge board problem. If you have 120 at the plug for the refrigerator that rules out a breaker, so that goes back to no 12 volts at the board but then the range hook not working WOW or the lights. When you say no overhead lights you are talking about all ceiling lights?? Are you sure all this did not start when Battery was replaced? Was there just one Battery? 12 volt or 2 6 volts? Where are you located? Do you have a VOM and know how to use?
Yes it could be the converter. As mentioned above you need to get a cheap volt ohm meter so you can check the voltage. When plugged into shore power the converter should be putting out about 13.5 volts. That should be charging the house batteries and also supplying voltage to the 12 vdc items in the rig.
You can measure the voltage at the batteries when they are switched on. If they read 12.6 v or so the converter is either not working or somehow not connected to the batteries.

Keep us posted as to what you find KayKat50.
Thanks all, will let you know what happens.
Update: Had unplugged the electric to the camper as we were getting a bad storm. 2 days later went out and plugged back in, when I went into camper the converter was running and everything is working now. Had to have been the converter. Thanks everyone for the help.
Well at least it didn't cost to fix KayKat50. Hope the Gremlin stays away. Thanks for update.


One way you can verify that a car belongs to you is to put something in the glove compartment (that is NOT valuable) that only you would know about. It could be a photo of yourself or a relic of your favorite sports team. Whatever it is, the item should leave no doubt that the car belongs to you. You can also place the item under the seat or in the trunk of the car. If you do have your registration and insurance information in the car, you can also use that information to back up your identity.
You should treat a valet ticket like it's money. The second a valet attendant hands the ticket to you; you need to decide where the safest place is to put it. In most cases, the most reliable place is in your wallet that you slide into your inside jacket pocket or in your pocketbook (if you plant to carry one all night). A possible secure location would be in the pocket of an overcoat that the inside attendant will hang up for you. That way, the ticket stays in one place the entire night. Wherever you decide to put the valet ticket, you need to check up on it at least a couple of times per night, and always make sure you have it before leaving the dinner table or bar.
Unparalleled Parking provides high-end valet parking service for businesses and organizations in Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota.

For their second home game in a row, Preston Grasshoppers welcome Wharfedale to Lightfoot Green tomorrow.
Having ended their three-match losing run last Saturday, Hoppers will now be seeking revenge for a 39-22 defeat in the Dales in October.
Preston are three places and six points ahead of 12th-placed Wharfedale, who have a game in hand and surprisingly toppled Hull Ionians, leaders of National League Two North, 24-12 last weekend. However, seven of the Dalesmen's eight defeats out of 18 have come away from their Threshfield base, while seven of Hoppers' eight victories in 17 games have been at Lightfoot Green.
Hoppers head coach Paul Arnold drops himself to the bench, with Sale's dual-registered Teddy Leatherbarrow coming into the back row and Ally Murray moving to lock.
The backs remain unchanged, but Ollie Trippier returns on the bench, with Arnold naming four forward replacements.
Vale of Lune chalked up their second successive home win in the North Premier League last weekend and are back at Powderhouse Lane again tomorrow to welcome seventh-placed Alnwick, before enjoying a Saturday off next weekend.
Vale's latest victory – their third in all, alongside two draws and 12 defeats – moved them above Kendal to third-from-bottom. Alnwick are on a four-match winning run and altogether have won 10 out of 17, including a 21-7 home victory over tomorrow's hosts. With Ross Pillow and Andy Powers still sidelined through injury, Vale named an unchanged line-up.
Fylde slipped a place to fourth last week and now face an intriguing home game against Tynedale.
Not only did the North East outfit hammer second-placed Chester 25-5 last Saturday, they also inflicted by far Fylde's biggest defeat of the campaign by 59-15 in October.
Hoppers: Pope; Jordan, Hurst, Fitzpatrick, Spence; Davidson, Gough; Mabaya, Millea, Altham, Howard, Murray, Carlson, Leatherbarrow, Lamprey. Replacements: Miller, Trippier, Procter, Arnold, Stott.
Vale: Ramwell; Fern, Owens, J Dorrington, Hall; B Dorrington, Swarbrick; Aualitia, Robinson, Yates, Foxcroft, Fellows, Fourie, Ayrton, Wallbank. Replacements: Stevens, Ford, Kyle.

Q: Перестановка всех цифр в числе. Си Сделал функцию которая перебирает все цифры в числе, но некоректно, если ввести 123, то все хорошо и как и должно быть 6 вариантов перестановок, но если ввожу 1234, то вместо того чтобы вывести 24 варианта перестановок, выводит значительно больше, как я заметил несколько раз выводит ту или иную перестановку. Помогите это исправить.
#include <stdio.h>
#define N 10

Letter to House Finance Committee
Re: House Bill 80 Bureau of Workers' Compensation Budget
House Finance Committee
Dear members of the House Finance Committee,
Advocates for Basic Legal Equality, the ACLU of Ohio, The Ohio AFL-CIO, The Catholic Conference, the Central Ohio Worker Center, The Cincinnati Interfaith Workers Center, HOLA Ohio, Cleveland Jobs With Justice, the Ohio Association for Justice, The Ohio Poverty Law Center and Policy Matters Ohio write today to express our support of the passage of the Bureau of Workers' Compensation bill, House Bill 80, without amendments that exclude any workers from coverage.
House Bill 80 is an opportunity to fund a vital oversight entity whose mission is to ensure the safety of all Ohio workers. Several times in recent legislative sessions, measures have been introduced that would hobble the Bureau of Workers' Compensation (BWC) in this mission by excluding undocumented workers, who face some of the worst exposure to workplace injury, from protection. Such proposals have appeared both as standalone bills and as amendments to the bill that funds the BWC. Today we urge the committee to pass HB 80 without consideration of any measure that would exclude any person working in Ohio from workers' compensation coverage in the event of injury.
Barring any workers from workers' compensation protection would put both them, and their coworkers, at greater risk of getting hurt at work. Excluding undocumented workers would create a perverse incentive for firms to hire undocumented workers over citizens, and cut corners on safety, knowing that their workers' compensation premiums would be unaffected by worker injuries. Such a system would put businesses that follow the law at a competitive disadvantage against those who do not. It would leave taxpayers and hospital emergency services to cover the cost of injuries to excluded workers.
In 2017, nearly 117,000 Ohio workers were hurt or fell ill from exposure to workplace hazards; and 174 were killed on the job. No family should ever lose a loved one at work. Workers' Compensation laws are designed not only to ensure injured workers get medical treatment and replace lost wages, but to create an incentive for employers to guard against preventable injuries before they happen.
Workers' compensation balances worker, employer interests
Workers' Compensation covers medical expenses and replaces the lost wages of workers hurt on the job. The system was established as a compromise between workers and employers; employers keep insurance to protect workers, and workers in turn give up their right to sue. When a worker gets hurt, it is treated as a signal that the workplace is higher risk, and the employer's premium rises to reflect that. That mechanism creates an incentive for firms to maintain a safe workplace, and balances the cost of workers' compensation insurance so that the highest costs are shouldered by the firms most likely to use the system. Work-related injuries and illnesses are preventable—when companies follow common-sense safety requirements.
That incentive breaks down if the very workers at high risk are excluded from coverage. Employers who cut corners on safety and rely on workers' fear of retaliation to avoid liability see a financial advantage to breaking the law. Law-abiding employers, workers, and taxpayers pay the price. For instance, as the New Yorker documented, 17-year-old Osiel Lopez Perez lost his leg due to a malfunction in a chicken processing machine at Canton-based Case Farms in 2015 and was able to access workers compensation. Case Farms and its subcontractor had previously been cited by OSHA for other workplace safety violations; without workers compensation coverage for undocumented workers, Case Farms would have little incentive to make safety improvements and Osiel would have had no compensation for the loss of his leg.
Good businesses would bear the cost for bad actors
Workers' compensation is an insurance system designed to provide injured workers quick access to treatment. It does not assign fault or punish employers. Employers pay premiums based on the number of employees, the industry, and the employer's history of claims filed. This means that employers are already paying for their workers' coverage. Stripping some workers of coverage would leave them to turn to the courts to seek remedies in suits against their employers. Earlier proposals to exclude undocumented workers have included high bars to winning such a suit, which raise concerns about access to justice, yet such policies would leave courts as the only remaining avenue of recourse. This would force employers to appear in court to defend themselves at their own expense when a worker was hired in good faith and has outdated paperwork – even after the employer has paid its workers' compensation premiums all along. Removing insurance coverage may expose employers to worker lawsuits claiming ALL damages suffered in a work-related injury, rather than the more modest workers' compensation costs.
Workers compensation prevents a flood of litigation by giving employers fixed, knowable, and limited liability for an employee's injury. These known, manageable costs help businesses grow by enabling them to responsibly plan for the future. Excluding undocumented workers from workers' compensation would abet unscrupulous operations in flouting the law as a business practice, but it would expose legitimate businesses acting in good faith to new risks and costs.
Ohio farms depend on migrant workers
Ohio's agriculture industry, the state's largest, relies on immigrant workers due to the seasonal nature of the work. Ohio's 75,000 farms contribute $105 billion to Ohio's economy annually. The U.S. Department of Labor's last National Agricultural Worker Study found that more than 80% of migrant farmworkers in the U.S. are immigrants and more than 50% of migrant farmworkers lack valid immigration status. Agricultural employers in Ohio who depend on hand-harvest labor hire migrant farmworkers for short crop seasons. Cucumber season in northwest Ohio lasts just six to seven weeks; fresh market tomatoes last eight. Other Ohio farm communities including those in Huron County and the Hartville area of Stark County also depend on migrant farmworkers to staff slightly longer seasons. Short crop seasons mean that agricultural work demands migrant workers by design. This is why many growers, including the American Farm Bureau Federation, have called for comprehensive immigration reform that would include a path to legalization for unauthorized, experienced agricultural workers. There is pending legislation in the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate, the Agricultural Worker Program Act of 2017, that would do just that.
Taxpayers and hospitals would pick up the tab
Barring undocumented immigrants from coverage under Workers' Compensation would shift the cost of workplace injuries to taxpayers and hospitals. When a person comes to the emergency room, the hospital must treat them. If the injured person is uninsured, taxpayers make up a portion of the bill, and hospitals lose out on the rest. A study by Northwestern University's Kellogg School found that Disproportionate Share Hospital payments – the federal offset to ER services for uninsured patients - cover only about a third of the costs.
Limited Access to Justice
When the Workers' Compensation system was established, it replaced direct firm liability and provided a mechanism to care and provide for those hurt on the job without the expense and delay of a lawsuit for either the worker or the company. In Ohio and all but one other state, employers are required to carry workers' compensation insurance, and in all states, those who do not can be sued by workers hurt on the job.
Previous attempts to carve out workers would have limited the right to sue to workers who could prove that their employers knew they were undocumented at the time of hire. That high bar means that most affected workers would be denied not only protections against the financial hardships caused by workplace injury, but also the right to have their case heard by the courts. Barring injured workers from legal redress defies not only our core values, but Ohio's Constitution.
Ohio's Seventh District Court of Appeals has already weighed in on this issue:
Furthermore, one of the purposes of the workers' compensation system is to promote a safe and injury free work environment. Blankenship v. Cincinnati Milacron Chemicals, Inc. (1982), 69 Ohio St.2d 608, 615, 23 O.O.3d 504, 433 N.E.2d 572. Employers try to ensure safe workplaces, in part because if an employee is injured at their place of work, the employer bears the cost. However, if illegal aliens were exempt from collecting workers' compensation, underhanded employers might be prone to hire illegal aliens. If illegal aliens were injured, the employer would not lose any money because the aliens could not collect workers' compensation. Therefore, the employer may become lax in workplace safety, knowing it would suffer no consequences if its employees were injured at work.
Rajeh V. Steel City Corp., 157 Ohio App.3d 722, 813 N.E.2d 697, 2004 -Ohio- 3211.
We urge you to pass HB 80 to fund the essential Bureau of Workers Compensation, without consideration of any amendments that would bar anyone working in Ohio from coverage.

Q: Proving that if $a_n\geq0$ and $\sum a_n$ converges, then $\sum a_n^2$ converges I've been trying to do this problem for so long...
Suppose that $(a_n)_n$ is a sequence with $a_n \geq 0$ for each $n \in \mathbb{N}$, and suppose further that the series $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}{a_n}$ is convergent. Prove that the series $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}{{a_n}^2}$ is also convergent.
I've tried to use the ratio test, the comparison test and even epsilon proofs but I'm not getting anywhere. Would be very grateful if somebody could help me.
Thanks,
Henry

A: Hint:
Since $\sum a_n$ converges, $a_n$ approaches 0. Hence there is some $N$ for which $a_n<1$ for all $n>N$. In this regime, $a_n^2\leq a_n$.

A: Your statement is actually incorrect, so I guess that's why you were unable to prove it.
Take, for example, the series $$\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}(-1)^n\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}},$$ which converges according to Leibniz's test, but its square, $$\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{1}{n},$$ diverges.
EDIT: I didn't read the question carefully, and I missed the part $a_{n} \geq 0$. With that assumption, symplectomorphic's solution is what I was going to type. Anyway, if the sequence weren't positive, you'd need the series to be absolutely convergent in order to prove the statement, and my example (although not an answer to your question) is a good counterexample which shows why absolute convergence is required.

A: Hint: recall (or realise) the following about convergence of series: If there is some $N>0$ such that the partial sums from the $N$th term up to the $n$th term converge as $n\to \infty$ then the series converges.
Now realise that as the series converges, you must have $a_n\to0$ and so there is some term after which all terms satisfy $0\le a_n<1$. What do you know about $x^2$ in relation to $x$ when $0<x<1$?
