Home/Judge blocks Biden health-care worker vaccine mandate in 10 states
Judge blocks Biden health-care worker vaccine mandate in 10 states
A federal judge put the brakes on a COVID-19 vaccination mandate from the Biden administration that would've required thousands of health care workers in 10 states to get their first jab by next week.
US District Judge Matthew Schelp issued a preliminary injunction on Monday in a scathing 32-page order in which he called the requirement a "politically and economically vast, federalism-altering, and boundary-pushing mandate."
It's the latest blow to the federal vaccine requirements under President Joe Biden, while more legal challenges pile up.
Schelp, a Donald Trump appointee, said in his ruling that the states who sued the administration were "likely to succeed" in the argument that Congress hadn't given the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services the authority to create the mandate. He also said the mandate could put facilities in a bind, without adequate staff to provide services – particularly in rural areas.
US District Judge Matthew Schelp issued a preliminary injunction on Monday.
"CMS seeks to overtake an area of traditional state authority by imposing an unprecedented demand to federally dictate the private medical decisions of millions of Americans," Schelp wrote. "Such action challenges traditional notions of federalism."
The requirement would have affected more than 17 million workers in about 76,000 health care facilities and home health care providers. Under the rule, announced Nov. 4, those affected would have to get their first dose of a vaccine by Dec. 6 and their second shot by Jan. 4.
A previous ruling against the Biden administration temporarily blocked a rule that private businesses with more than 100 employees require workers to be vaccinated or face weekly testing.
This is the latest blow to the federal vaccine requirements under President Joe Biden.

The injunction affects the states behind the lawsuit: Alaska, Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming. All of the states either have Republican attorneys general or governors, the AP stated. More lawsuits are pending in other states, according to the news agency.

First of all, I would like to remind you how important it is to have good oral health. Having a clean mouth and crystal white teeth makes everything better, because it can improve your confidence, your looks and more. This can be done by flossing, and one of the best flossers in the market today is the Panasonic EW-DJ10-A.
The EW-DJ10 has a lot of features which make it that good. What I liked the most about it is that it can be collapsed to fit in your bags, so if you are someone that likes to travel a lot, you can always take it with you and you won't even notice that you have it because it doesn't occupy much space in your bags.
If you've never had a flosser before, this product will be a great choice for you because it's straightforward and very simple to use. All you have to do is open the water reservoir and fill it with water, choose the speed/pressure settings and you're good to go!
This product can be used by everyone, both children and old people because it has 2 speed/pressure settings you can choose from to fit the needs of the user.
If you are buying it for your children, just select the number 1 mode (1,000 PPM) and it will clean in a slower and softer way. This mode is suggested because children have sensitive gums and using the high speed pulse may damage the gums. Low-speed settings are also suggested for individuals that wear braces, bridges, have implants etc.
On the other hand, we have the 1,400 PPM high-speed pulse cleaning mode which can be used by people with healthy teeth and gums. The flossing process and effect is the same in both modes, it's just the speed and pressure that is different.
The Panasonic EW-DJ10-A is definitely better than its competitors for flossing. As I mentioned above, it is very powerful, and that allows it to clean deep between teeth to get rid of any unwanted substances that might have gotten stuck in there. It will get rid of almost all bacteria and plaque if used correctly.
It's cordless, and it is powered by 2 AA batteries. Unfortunately, when you purchase the product, batteries are not included, so you have to purchase them separately. It would have been much better if it had a built-in rechargeable battery which can be charged with an USB cable, but unfortunately it does not have that feature.
The only thing that we didn't like about it is that the water gets wasted too quickly when using it on the high-speed mode. The 5.5oz tank gets empty too quickly, so if you are someone that is slower on brushing/flossing your teeth, you will need to re-fill it at least twice before finishing with the flossing process.
Overall it's a great product, and it has everything you would want from a flosser. You can take it with you anywhere you want, it's extremely easy to use and it can be used even by people that have dental problems such as gum swelling etc.
Panasonic is a very reputable brand, so when you purchase from them, you can be sure to receive quality and satisfaction. But, if you want to expand your horizons, have a look at the ToiletTree Water Irrigator.
There are things I loved about this flosser compared to Waterpik. The size is ideal for traveling and small bathroom countertops. I also loved that it used regular batteries as the Waterpik failed within the warranty period and the replacement died not long afterward, both because the rechargeable batteries died with no warning.
That said I will be throwing my Panasonic away today and replacing it with another brand as it is nearly impossible to get all the water out of the unit and, in Florida humidity, they get moldy because of the design flaw. I tried vinegar to clean but because of the tight fit, push-pull open/close mechanics of this unit, there is no way to clean it successfully.
I just bought one for a trip. I can see Leanne's point about not being able to completely dry it. I ran a bit of vodka through mine after my trip to sanitize it and my climate is relatively dry so it should dry it out. I love that I can use it in the hotel shower when I'm away from my home's showerhead-mounted ShowerBreeze (reviewed elsewhere on the site). It puts out a hammering pulse that was great for my new braces.

On This Day in History – 11 June – Marriage of Henry VIII and Katherine of Aragon
Event– Marriage of Henry VIII and Katherine of Aragon
Location– Greenwich Palace, England
The wedding of Henry VIII and Katherine of Aragon isn't as well-known as their very public divorce. Katherine was the widow of Henry's older brother, Arthur, who had died in 1502. Henry would later allege that this was an impediment from which the Pope couldn't dispense.
Katherine and Henry had been betrothed for 6 years by the time that they married, and it wasn't certain that they would marry even after the betrothal. When Katherine's mother, Isabella of Castile, died Katherine was seen as less valuable on the marriage market as she was no longer the product of a united Spain. Henry VII began to look elsewhere for a bride for his son.
When Henry VII died in 1509 Katherine's fortunes changed overnight and the marriage negotiations were successfully brought to an end in May 1509. The marriage licence was issued by the Archbishop of Canterbury, William Warham, on 8 June 1509.
The marriage was a private ceremony in the queen's closet at Greenwich Palace on 11 June 1509 with just a couple of witnesses in attendance. Katherine was aged 23 and Henry just 18 – she was beautiful still and he was in his prime. The marriage wasn't only a love match (it was rumoured that Henry wanted Katherine when she was married to Arthur), but a political one as well.
As soon as the wedding itself was over, preparations were made for their joint coronation which happened just a couple of weeks later.

On This Day in History – 2 May – Arrest of Anne Boleyn
Event– Arrest of Anne Boleyn
Location– Greenwich Palace & Tower of London (England)
Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn attended the May Day jousts at Greenwich on 1 May 1536. Henry left suddenly without warning and without saying goodbye to Anne. They wouldn't see each other again.
Anne was with her ladies in her apartments at Greenwich on 2 May 1536 when a delegation from the Privy Council arrived to question her, and then escort her to the Tower of London under arrest. Mark Smeaton, a court musician, had already been arrested and taken to the Tower the day before and had confessed to adultery with Anne, possibly under torture. Henry Norris, Groom of the Stool, arrived at the Tower that morning, and Anne's brother, George, followed her there just a few hours later.
She was accused of adultery with 5 men, incest with her brother, and plotting the king's death. She would be condemned to death and executed.
There have been several suggestions as to what led to Anne's arrest – was it her miscarriage in January 1536? Was it Henry VIII's newfound love for Jane Seymour? Was it a conspiracy by Thomas Cromwell endorsed by Henry? Was it Anne's own reckless behaviour?

Neighborhoods Prepare For National Night Out
Tuesday, Aug. 2 will be observed as National Night Out across the country, and there will be several gatherings in Escalon to mark the occasion as well.
Police Services Manager Sara Cardoso said that there are five specific neighborhood gatherings scheduled so far, and residents have until Thursday, July 28 to sign up. That way, they make sure the contingent of police, fire, ambulance and city officials make a stop at their event.
"Usually we get about nine spots," Cardoso said, adding that people interested in getting a visit from the emergency services personnel should provide the sign-up and information form to City Hall, 2060 McHenry Ave.
Already on the schedule are stops in the 1700 block of Colombard Court, Saron Lutheran Church on North Street, the 500 block of Thompson Way, the 500 block of Chardonnay Court and the 2300 block of Mission Street.
National Night Out is designed as a way for local residents to 'take back the night' and fight back against crime and drugs, by hosting the neighborhood events such as barbecues, potlucks and ice cream socials, and meeting with neighbors and city officials.
The caravan of officials typically leaves from the City Hall/Police Department complex on McHenry and spends some time at each gathering, with festivities getting underway at 6 p.m.
Cardoso said there's still time to get involved.
"Usually what I have people do is fill out the form, leave it at City Hall, that way we can get them on the schedule," she said of making sure they stop at each location. Tours of the police cars and fire trucks are always a hit with the younger attendees at the various 'Night Out' gatherings and there are also opportunities for residents to visit with city officials and council members in an informal setting.
National Night Out runs from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Sigma 150-500 mm f/5.0-6.3 APO DG OS HSM
Arkadiusz Olech
4. Image resolution
The resolution graph in the frame center is similar to that for the Sigma 120-400 mm OS, tested before.
At the shortest focal length the results are maybe not outstanding but certainly very good, even wide open. In the 250 –370 mm range the resolution is a bit lower but it remains good nevertheless and, what's more important, it reaches above 30 lpmm at maximum aperture, so it never falls below the conventional limit not to be crossed on a good instrument. Some reservations can be had about the 500 mm focal length but it's the fate of all slow zoom lenses. One important fact is worth noticing here. The lenses get rid of the aberrations, limiting their performance on stopping down about 2-3 stops. At 500 mm, in the case of the Sigma 150 – 500 mm, the maximum aperture is f/6.3. To free it from most of the aberrations you will need it use the aperture of about f/13-16. At that point, though, the diffraction becomes a serious limitation on the lens's achievements and that's why the MTF values couldn't reach much above the 30 lpmm level.
The coronavirus crisis has been adversely affecting many businesses and, sad but true, ours is not an exception. Despite that difficult situation we would like to preserve continuity and high quality of publications available on all our websites. Still, we are now aware it might be impossible without additional financial help.

The quality dispersion field on the frame edge seems to be bigger than in the center. The lens fares exceedingly well at 150 mm; at 250 mm it's performance is average, then, unfortunately, it decreases further. The performance at the maximum relative aperture is especially weak, at the longest focal lengths crossing just 20 lpmm level. This behaviour is also very similar to the results of the Sigma 120 – 400 mm.

Top healthcare organizations recommend taking a conservative approach to care, such as Chiropractic. Medications, injections, and surgery should only be used as a last resort. In a recent study, researchers found that over 90% of patients with a lumbar disc herniation improved within the first 3 months of receiving Chiropractic adjustments. Over 35% more people with cervical disc herniations found relief with Chiropractic adjustments than with spinal injections.

Note: Clan closed as of right now. Reason: It's under construction and I'll be gone for a week.
Welcome to the Clan Runnoft forum page(Under Construction). I'm sure you know where the name comes from.
This clan is a social/pking clan. We will be having skilling events as well as pking events. There are requirements though, unfortunately. We want skilled players to be able to perform well in tricky pvp moments and be able to help others at the same time. We also want people who are good in skilling for the skilling events.
1- Be active. We want players who will continue to log in and show support to the clan.
2- Follow Myth-Scape Rules. All Myth-Scape rules apply in this clan. If you are unable to follow rules you will be immediately removed from the clan and reported to the 'Report' section in the forums as well as reported in game.
3- No clan hopping. If you decide to join this clan, don't later decide to leave and join another. We can't stop you, but please don't waste our time.
4- Have Teamspeak. It's a fast, small download. Please have this. It's not really a requirement, but it helps us as well are you.
5- When applying you must put "Yes, because I'm awesome like that" when answering the question, "Have you read and accepted the rules?" This is so I know for sure you have read the rules and aren't just saying you are.
6- Have over 100m. 100m is extremely easy to get but I still need to add this. Every member is responsible of his/her items. You will supply yourself, and if you lose your items, it will be your job to get them back. Having 100m just makes it so you can easily restart your bank if absolutely necessary.
7- Have fun! You're on a private server. It's all about fun, and socializing.
-99 Hp. Unless you are a skiller or pure.
-99 Magic or 99 range.
-At least 1 99 skill.
-100m cash or 300m+ in goods.
-Team Speak. Requirement unless you have a good reason for example, if someone doesn't have a mic.
-A firecape. Unless you are a pure with no prayer. There is no excuse for not having a firecape. Jad in this game and even in runescape are very very easy. If you need help on strategy, ask me, or look at a guide on youtube for just the jad itself fight. Expect to lose your firecapes in pvp so get multiple. I suggest 20+, then go back every time your cape count goes down to 5.


An Interview with Rose Solari on Dave Farrow's "The Brains Behind It"
Rose sits down with Brain Hackers Magazine founder and CEO, Dave Farrow, to talk about succeeding as a poet.
"[A] thing that is crucial [for up and coming writers] is reading a lot. A professor of mine in college gave me the 100:1 ratio. He said, "You have to read about 100 good poems to write one." It sounds daunting but it actually makes a kind of sense. I was trained in poetry, I have an MFA in poetry, so when I sat down to write a novel for the first time I knew I had an idea which was too narrative to fit into a poem and that it had to be a novel. One of the things I did was re-read novels I admired in a different way, specifically for structure. This is a really important thing that a beginning writer [should] do. No matter what you're writing—non-fiction, fiction, poetry—take a couple of books you admire and look at how they're put together, look at how the chapters are constructed, look at the arc [made] from one section to the next. If you're doing, as my book had, an historical component, look at how writers who write historical fiction weave their research into the work without making it look clunky. One of my favorite novels is A.S. Byatt's Possession which [narratively] travels through time periods and [when I was writing A Secret Woman] I literally took her book apart; I took my paper back and pulled it apart and laid out the sections and looked at how she developed the arc of the book. It was as useful as any writing class I've ever taken."

Another busy week of new releases on Netflix awaits with what we refer to as the mid-month movie releases that are due out throughout the course of the week. Here's a full preview of what's coming to Netflix in the US from June 15th through June 21st.
There's still plenty more to look forward to for the rest of the month as we cover in our preview. In addition, you can also see our list of new releases coming in July 2020 which is slowly expanding as time progresses.
Before we get into the full preliminary list, let's take a look at what we're most looking forward to.
Coronavirus, Explained (Episode 2)
Releasing on Netflix: Tuesday
It's been a while since Netflix last got its first Coronavirus, Explained episode and the next (with three expected in all) arrives early this week.
We're once again expecting more detailed analysis of the pandemic and possibly a look into routes forward. The series comes from the team at Vox.
An Evening with Beverly Luff Linn
Releasing on Netflix: Wednesday
One movie that I personally haven't got round the watching is An Evening with Beverly Luff Linn which has been appealing purely on the cast list alone.
Aubrey Plaza, Matt Berry, Craig Robinson and Jemaine Clement make up the cast of this unusual comedy directed and written by Jim Hosking (co-written by David Wike).
Coming to Netflix: Friday
Of all the Ryan Murphy output on Netflix thus far, The Politician has been a favorite here on What's on Netflix. The second season will likely see a huge shift in tone from season 1 as Payton moves from school politics to big-time politics in his new campaign.
Eight episodes are due out at the end of the week and acts as Netflix's tentpole Netflix Original release of the week.
Woodshock (2017)
Coming to Netflix: Sunday
It's always a pleasure to see an A24 movie on a Netflix list and this release is no different. Starring Kirsten Dunst, we see a woman who slowly descends into madness after a significant loss and the trialing of new drugs.
Unfortunately, review scores aren't too hot for this title but it'll be interesting to see others take on the title.

Endoscopic Holmium: YAG laser-assisted lithotripsy: A Preliminary Report
C. H. Su, K. S. Lee, T. M. Tseng, S. H. Hung
PROBLEM/OBJECTIVE: Laser-assisted lithotripsy under sialendoscopy has the potential to overcome the limitations of traditional sialendoscopic lithotripsy when facing salivary stones. In this preliminary study, we report our experience with Holmium:YAG laser-assisted lithotripsy.
METHODS: Data from 11 Asian patients receiving sialendoscopies for laser-assisted lithotripsy performed in our department from August 2013 to June 2014 were recorded and reviewed.
RESULTS: A total of 18 procedures were performed in 11 Taiwanese patients with symptoms of obstructive sialoadenitis who were diagnosed with sialolithiasis. The sizes of the stones ranged between 3 mm and 13 mm. The endoscopic lithotomy procedures were performed in all 11 patients, and stone fragmentation with the Holmium:YAG laser was done successfully in all patients. All patients were followed for a minimum of 3 months, and there was no evidence of complications or recurrences over the follow up period.
CONCLUSION: The Holmium:YAG laser allowed successful fragmentation of stones in all 11 patients. Our experience with this procedure supports the use of Holmium:YAG laser-assisted lithotripsy through sialendoscopy in Asian patients.

Q: Error: Generic parameter 'T' could not be inferred. I have a problem with calling this method:
func setUpFeedbackForm<T:UIViewController>(viewController: T,
                                        viewForScreenshot: UIView,
                                        completionHandler: @escaping () -> ())
                                                  where T:FeedbackFormDelegate { ... }

inside this wrapper function:
public class func setUpFeedbackFormWrapper(viewController: UIViewController,
                                        viewForScreenshot: UIView,
                                        completionHandler: @escaping () -> ()) {

    setUpFeedbackForm(viewController: viewController,
                   viewForScreenshot: viewForScreenshot,
                   completionHandler: completionHandler)
}

I am getting error: Generic parameter 'T' could not be inferred. I do understand what the error means, but I don't know how to implement this call correctly. Also the reason why I have this wrapper is that I want to expose func setUpFeedbackForm to obj-c code and I can't import it directly to obj-c because of swift's generics.
Could you please show me the correct way of calling it?

A: You have two constraints on the viewController parameter that need to be satisfied when calling setUpFeedbackForm:

*

*inheritance from UIViewController

*conformance to FeedbackFormDelegate
, and setUpFeedbackFormWrapper satisfies only one, thus the compiler doesn't know what to do with the other one.
The problem is caused by a limitation of Swift which can't directly express variables/parameters that satisfy both class inheritance and protocol conformance, unless using generics, which breaks the Objective-C compatibility.
Thus a valid UIViewController<FeedbackFormDelegate> construct in Objective-C doesn't have a direct equivalent in Swift.
A workaround to this limitation is to declare a 3rd method that exposes the class inheritance and protocol conformance arguments as two distinct parameters, and call that method from both the Objective-C compatible and the Swift-only versions.
func setUpFeedbackForm<T:UIViewController>(viewController: T,
                       viewForScreenshot: UIView,
                       completionHandler: @escaping () -> ())
    where T:FeedbackFormDelegate {
        setupFeedbackFormImpl(viewController: viewController,
                              feedbackFormDelegate: viewController,
                              viewForScreenshot: viewForScreenshot, completionHandler: completionHandler)
}

func setupFeedbackFormImpl(viewController: UIViewController,
                           feedbackFormDelegate: FeedbackFormDelegate,
                           viewForScreenshot: UIView,
                           completionHandler: @escaping () -> ()) {
    // actual code here
}

public func setUpFeedbackFormWrapper(viewController: UIViewController,
                                     viewForScreenshot: UIView,
                                     completionHandler: @escaping () -> ()) {

    guard let feedbackFormDelegate = viewController as? FeedbackFormDelegate else {
        // you can also report errors here, if you want to
        // forbid runtime calls with controllers that are not FeedbackFormDelegate
        return
    }
    setupFeedbackFormImpl(viewController: viewController,
                          feedbackFormDelegate: feedbackFormDelegate,
                          viewForScreenshot: viewForScreenshot,
                          completionHandler: completionHandler)
}

If we think in terms of SOLID programming, then this workaround follows the Interface Segregation Principle, as we receive one argument for the view controller stuff, and another one for the delegate stuff, even if they point to the same object behind.

Burberry Spring/Summer 2020 Ready-To-Wear collection
Three seasons into his Burberry tenure, Riccardo Tisci's leitmotif at the British institution is manifesting in the idea of hybridisation. Not just in the clothes he designs, like corsets integrated with dresses or blazers fused with coats, but on the overall level of his all-encompassing strategy for the house. This time, he didn't split his show into age, class or dress code segments like previous seasons, appearing instead to hybridise posh with street and formal. It made for a less market-oriented sentiment, which helped Tisci to express his Victorian narrative in a clearer way. "I'm obsessed with Victorian times. I did it all through my career," he said after the show. "It was a moment of evolution in this country in many ways and it was a great aesthetic. By coincidence, Thomas Burberry started his company in Victorian times, so I started working around that period: the very beginning of the company. I wanted to do a modern interpretation of Victorian style, so I took its most dramatic shapes and made them in jersey, which is what women and men want today."
Tisci expressed his Victorian fetish most apparently by way of sleeves, incorporating the gigot, lampshade and tassel elements of the era into sculptural shapes and decoration. Then, he had his way with Victorian lace, sexing it up in dresses that distinctly recalled his personal archives. Emphasising the scarf genes of Burberry – "people never recognise Burberry as a scarf company" – he hybridised silk scarves with coats and dresses, and lifted animal and tapestry scarf prints onto cocktail dresses with filtrage and plumage. Thomas Burberry, Tisci elaborated, was obsessed with animals; one of the reasons for the company's Medieval horse-and-knight logo (the other being that he invented the trench coat for the trenches), which Tisci reinterpreted as the idea of a unicorn and scattered in somewhat Generation Z-targeted slogans throughout the collection. "I'm a unicorn", "There are unicorns" etc. A horse with what looks like a narwhal's tooth on its forehead, a unicorn is also a hybrid, making it the perfect mascot for Tisci's reinterpreted Burberry, if you like hybrids.
"The biggest difference is that I feel more comfortable in my place, living in London and understanding living in London," he said, reflecting on last season versus now. "It's a big job. When I arrived two seasons ago, I wanted to take it slow because it's very important to understand what British style is. It's a style that's been so strong in history, and to interpret it in a modern way, you have to be very meticulous. After three seasons, it's been about the response of the market. The trench and the check will forever be the icons of the house but the world is changing and people want to wear whatever they want. It doesn't matter which country it comes from. This globalisation of style means a different approach to fashion nowadays." His hybrid philosophy makes sense on a social scale, but it's in his most clarified, least complicated designs that Tisci creates the most contemporarily desirable version of Burberry. Cases in point included a modernist white hourglass suit with boxy trousers, a chic elongated smoking jacket belted into a dress, and a slightly oversized trench-coloured trench coat like only the Burberry factories master it.
