What is the charge when you kill someone during a violent crime but didn't intend to necessarily kill that particular person when you planned the crime?
[Beitbart] United Airlines will require employees in the U.S. to be vaccinated against COVID-19 by late October, perhaps sooner, joining a growing number of big corporations that are responding to a surge in virus cases.
United, which has 67,000 employees in the United States, is the first major U.S. airline to announce it will require vaccination for workers. The airline has been requiring vaccination of new hires since mid-June. Unvaccinated workers are required to wear face masks at company offices.
The Chicago-based airline estimates that up to 90% of its pilots and close to 80% of its flight attendants are already vaccinated. They get incentives to do so.
The airline told U.S. employees Friday that they will need to be fully vaccinated by Oct. 25 or five weeks after the Food and Drug Administration grants full approval to any one vaccine — whichever date comes first. So far, the FDA has only granted emergency-use approval of the Pfizer, Moderna or Johnson & Johnson vaccines. Full approval is expected soon.
Each employee will have to send an image of their vaccine card to the company. Those who don’t will be terminated, with exemptions granted only for religious or health reasons, officials said.
Employees who are already vaccinated or do so by Sept. 20 will get an extra day of pay, according to the memo from Kirby and Hart.
Like United, Delta Air Lines has operated vaccination center for employees and recently began requiring the shots for new hires. Delta CEO Ed Bastian said this week that 73% of the airline’s workforce is vaccinated. Executives at other airlines have similarly encouraged their workers to get vaccinated, even offering bonuses and paid time off to get the shots, but haven’t made them mandatory.
Airlines and other companies in the travel business have been hit particularly hard by the pandemic, which led to sharp travel restrictions. The United States requires people entering the country, including U.S. citizens, to show proof of a negative COVID-19 test, and the Biden administration plans to require non-U.S. citizens to be vaccinated before entering the country.
A United executive said the airline has no plans to require that passengers be vaccinated, calling that a government decision. The CEOs of Delta and American have similarly ruled out a mandate for passengers.
Microsoft, Google and Facebook have said they will require proof of vaccination for employees and visitors to their U.S. offices starting this fall.
This week, Tyson Foods announced it will require all U.S. employees to get vaccinated by November — notable because unlike the tech companies, Tyson relies on many lower-paid workers who cannot do their jobs remotely. The president of the United Food and Commercial Workers criticized Tyson for imposing the requirement while the vaccines still have only emergency FDA approval.
A few governments are getting involved. California and New York City will require employees to be vaccinated or face weekly testing, and the California mandate extends to workers in public and private hospitals and nursing homes.
The new rules come as the U.S. struggles with a surge in infections driven by the highly contagious delta variant of COVID-19. The 7-day average of new reported coronavirus cases has jumped to more than 90,000 a day from around 12,000 a month ago, although hospitalizations and deaths have risen more slowly.
[PJ] I used to work in a cube farm and every morning I would join the throng of depressed commuters inching their way down the long gray ribbon of death to the office. I was in the habit of stopping off for a Coke on my way to work. Yes, I know all about the dangers of colas, but I like an early morning dose of cold caffeine to jolt me into starting my day. There was a convenience store near the on-ramp where I used to stop for my daily fix. One day, there was a new face in the revolving cadre of clerks. It was a young woman who was wearing two buttons. One said, "Ask me about my pronouns." The other read, "He/His" Obviously, she identified as a man and wanted to make sure that I knew that.
Aside from wondering why anyone would want to become a white man in 21st-century America, I also wondered why this person thought I needed to know that. I was there to give her $2.04 for a bottle of a delicious caffeinated beverage, not help her sort out her personal issues. If she had decided that she was a man, that was her business, not mine. The entire span of our relationship was about three minutes and even if it had been longer, I had a mortgage, bills, and a job for which I was running late. A person’s pronouns and gender are their own business and, quite frankly, I don’t have time to worry about it.
I have no doubt that she was very earnest and sincere and I wish her the best of luck in whatever she does and whatever gender/species/element she finally decides she is. But it illustrates something about the Left. When leftists aren’t nosing into your life, they are trying to make you live their lives—something they’ve accused the right of doing for years.
One thing I learned about leftists, having apprenticed in the craft from a very young age, is that the key to a positive progressive self-image is to force someone else to live with the results of the decisions you make. Never mind that the effect those decisions may have on that person’s life. By compelling someone else, often with less power and money, to do something the leftists want, they can comfort themselves in the fact that they took the high road and made a positive difference in the world, even if it is by proxy.
For example, there is a report from the Women’s Liberation Front or WoLF, of a woman incarcerated in the Central California Women’s Facility who is pregnant. This, of course, would be the result of state laws that let biological male inmates transfer to women’s prisons, provided these men identify as transgender. The law, SB132, took effect in January. Since then, 261 men have asked to be moved to the women’s facilities. WoLF said in a tweet: "Conditions are described as ’a nightmare’s worst nightmare’ by women incarcerated in California after the passage of @Scott_Wiener’s SB 132. Now, the system is bracing for a wave of pregnancies and increased violence in the facilities. #StopSB132."
Once born how can a child be legally kept in prison, having not committed any crime?
DNA test the child to see who the father is.
Arrest and charge the father with addition crimes ranging from PERJURY to RAPE, since sexual contact is illegal in prison due forced confinement.
I imagine that if the women's relatives don’t volunteer, it will go into the California foster care system, whose notorious social workers will be sad not to have another parent to bully.

Get one of them thar Californie Billionaires to fund a Donk Progressive Program Orphanage. Their birth certificate will not indicate sex of the child but the father's name will be entered as the senior most Donk concurrently serving in the Californie government. They'll be kept there till 18 years of age upon being released after registering as a another Donk.
[Just The News] Unjected, an anti-vaccination dating app, has been removed from the Apple Store for violating company policy, a move the app owner says is censorship.
"Apparently we're considered 'too much' for sharing our medical autonomy and freedom of choice," app founder Shelby Thomson says in an Instagram video. "So of course, Apple removed us."
Unjected had been downloaded about 18,000 times.
Apple says the app violated its policies on disinformation.
"Specifically, your social networking app inappropriately refers to the COVID-19 pandemic in its concept or theme," the message from Apple states.
The app founders have filed an appeal to Apple but do not expect the request to be granted.
However, the app is still available on the Google Play Store for android devices.
Unjected being removed Saturday from the Apple store marks at least the second time the company had ran afoul of Apple rules. The first occurred during the review process.
In a failed attempted to not be removed from the Apple store this most recent time, the app founders had urged users to avoid such trigger words as "jabbed" and "microchip."

But infected illegals gathering and then pouring across the border are not a problem to our leftist idiots.
[ET] A crippling ice storm that left Travis Maddox and thousands of other Missouri residents without power in 2007 had an "almost apocalyptic feel to it."
"No one could move. It just shut the whole region down for two weeks. I wasn’t as prepared as I thought," said Maddox, a burly man of 43, sporting a long black beard, T-shirt, cargo pants, and baseball cap, while tending his garden.
Those two weeks made Maddox realize that being prepared—"prepping," as it’s called today—was the key to a life of self-reliance and personal freedom.
As an Eagle Scout, he never forgot the Boy Scout motto: Be prepared.
"To me, the ultimate level of prepping is being self-sufficient. You’re still being modern, but you’re in control," Maddox told The Epoch Times on Aug. 5.
In 2009, Maddox launched his YouTube channel, "The Prepared Homestead," which now has over 32,000 subscribers.
People, he said, are waking up to the worsening reality of supply chain disruptions and food shortages, and rapid political and social changes that all point toward "a perfect storm" just ahead.

Walmart is cutting hours(I'd bet traffic is way down). Dollar General isn't getting products from warehouse. Reason, there is dispute with drivers and many quitting. I understand that rail traffic is way down from west coast to east coast. "Perfect Storm" indeed. In my area stock outs in all industries, lumber, foods, soft drinks and water. Currently driver shortages in fuel tanker deliveries. Help shortages in all industries as well.

Away for the weekend with friends who work at a food factory — she’s QA, he’s a plant engineer. Since their state was shut down, they’ve been running with decreasing personnel due to a combination of quarantined and quitting workers. They’ve hired 220 but 225 quit, so the hourly line workers are working twelve hour shifts twenty days straight before they can ask for a single day off when the production schedule allows — generally getting one no sooner than another week in the future. It’s gotten so bad that the company is bringing in a bilingual personnel manager from the Mexico organization so they can start hiring from local Spanish-speaking population — which may or may not be in the country legally — and of course that will require translating all the training and procedures manuals into Spanish in the midst of this nonsense. My friends are in their early sixties, and also not happy about the long hours...

Even better, fire the senior management and use the management from Mexico in order to get the job done. Watch when they become the disposables.
Never given a thought that maybe just implement a realistic schedule and let demand price their product accordingly.
[Just The News] Apple plans to scan all iPhone in the U.S. for potential child abuse imagery.
The move announced Thursday generated shock waves among security experts who say it could allow the company to surveil many millions of phones for reasons unrelated to images of child abuse.
"This sort of tool can be a boon for finding child pornography in people's phones. But imagine what it could do in the hands of an authoritarian government," tweeted Johns Hopkins professor and cryptographer Matthew Green.
The Big Tech company says the new scanning technology will be a part of iOS 15, which is set for release this month. It is part of a number of new child protection programs being initiated by the company that will "evolve and expand" over time.
In a blog post, the company wrote, "This innovative new technology allows Apple to provide valuable and actionable information to [the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children] and law enforcement regarding the proliferation of known CSAM," — an acronym for child sex abuse material.

Consider the above Apple report as only the first start to control all Apple media, computers and apps. The tide has turned against any privacy in using FAANG - Big Tech - FAANG is an acronym for the five most popular and best performing tech stocks in the market, namely Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, and Alphabet's Google.
[BBC] In between the blue water of the Atlantic Ocean and the luscious golden dunes of the Namibian coast are the grounds of a former German concentration camp.
It was here at the start of the 20th Century where the Ovaherero and Nama people were subjected to sexual violence, forced labour and gruesome medical experiences. Many died of disease and exhaustion.
Uahimisa Kaapehi says his heart is heavy standing on the remains of his ancestors.
He is an ethnic Ovaherero descendent who is also a town councillor in the city of Swakopmund, where many of the atrocities took place.
Mr Kaapehi explains what happened generations ago still has a profound impact on his livelihood.
"Our wealth was taken, the farms, the cattle, everything, I was not supposed to suffer this as I'm talking," he says.
"And we - as the Ovaherero and Nama - are not supposed to be suffering."

[REGNUM] The decision of the Court of Arbitration against the Russian athletes turned out to be politically motivated to a certain extent. This was announced on August 6 by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
"Do they like Tchaikovsky's music more than Alexandrov? Let them listen to Tchaikovsky's music, ”Putin said.
“The decision of the Arbitration Court of Sports still has a political connotation to a certain extent. When we talk about doping, then - there has always been such a world practice - we mean the attitude of a particular athlete to this. Wine is always individual," he said.
According to Putin, this does not affect the level of performance of Russian athletes, who "in the best way prove that attempts to politicize sports are insignificant, senseless, and even harmful."
[DW] US President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. Old, boring, a plagiarist, fond of hair sniffing and grabbing the protruding parts of women, and not whatcha call brilliant... or is that an act?... said the "significant erosion" of rights and "politically motivated arrests" were behind the move. Hong Kong residents in the US can now extend their stay.
President Joe Biden on Thursday offered Hong Kong residents living in the United States an 18-month extension to their visas to provide them with "a safe haven" from Beijing's crackdown in the territory.
In a statement, the White House said the "politically motivated arrests" of politicians, activists and journalistsshowed a "significant erosion" of rights and freedoms.
Last week, Tong Ying-kit, 24, became the first person to be convicted in Hong Kong under a controversial national security law. He was sentenced to nine years in prison.
WHAT DID BIDEN SAY?
Under the new measure, most of the Hong Kongers living in the US will be able to apply for visa extensions that will also give them the right to work.
Biden cited Beijing's crackdown on pro-democracy protests in 2019 and erosion of rights in Hong Kong as a reason for the measure.
"Over the last year, the PRC [People's Republic of China] has continued its assault on Hong Kong's autonomy, undermining its remaining democratic processes and institutions, imposing limits on academic freedom, and cracking down on freedom of the press," the White House statement read.
"Offering safe haven for Hong Kong residents who have been deprived of their guaranteed freedoms in Hong Kong furthers United States interests in the region."
White House press secretary Jen Psaki ...a valley girl who woke up one morning and found she was spokeswoman for the U.S. Department of State under Obama. A new American success story, under Biden she became spokeswoman for the whole administration, and she was even able to get her sister a job... added: "This action demonstrates President Joe Biden ...... 46th president of the U.S. We hold these truths to be self-evident. All men and women created ... by the — you know — you know, the thing...... 's strong support for people in Hong Kong in the face of ongoing repression by the People's Republic of China, and makes clear we will not stand idly by as the PRC breaks its promises to Hong Kong and to the international community,"
Psaki said the US would continue to "support of people in Hong Kong" in the future.
WHAT IS THE SITUATION IN HONG KONG?
US relations with China worsened after a trade war that intensified under former President Donald Trump ...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party... Hong Kong saw mass pro-democracy protests in 2019 against a new law that would have allowed for extraditions to mainland China.
Protests were quelled by Hong Kong police leading to the arrest of hundreds of activists and journalists in the aftermath. Over 10,000 people in total have been arrested due to anti-government protests, according to the White House.
In June 2020, Hong Kong's government passed a controversial national security law that has allowed for the arrest of over 100 opposition politicians and activists.
The closure of the pro-democracy Apple Daily newspaper and a reshuffle to the Hong Kong Legislative Council have also heightened tensions.
As a result of the measures in Hong Kong, the US government issued more sanctions on Chinese officials in the former British colony. China reacted with sanctions of its own on US officials, including former Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross.
China announced a major C-19/21A-D outbreak earlier in the week.
What the Junta is not getting enough C-19 infections from South of the Border? So they have decided to open the travel doors to the USA for China again?
How long before we read, that due to the USA's Extremely Advanced ability to handle and cure C-19. That the biden admin has decided to IMPORT infected persons for treatment and to check for new variants?
#2
@#2 - the report says "Biden offered Hong Kong residents living in the United States an 18-month extension to their visas..."
So they are here right now. I can speak from personal experience - if we are going to offer any type of pathway to citizenship, we should open the doors to Hong Kongers.

And you wonder how the Chinese and Eastern Europeans keep hacking government computers.

[Jpost] Check Point, an Israeli cybersecurity provider, found that by clicking an e-book infected by malware, users could lose control of both their Kindle tablet and their Amazon accounts.
A severe security breach was detected in Amazon's e-book tablet Kindle by Israeli cybersecurity provider Check Point, the company revealed on Friday.
According to the company's Israeli cyber investigators, the security breach found allowed them to hack the tablets, gain full control and steal the e-reader users' Amazon accounts.
Check Point's findings were revealed at DEF CON, the world's largest hacker and cybersecurity convention, held annually in Las Vegas. The annual conventions are regularly attended by FBI agents on top of the companies in the cyber field.
The company managed to hack into the Kindles by exploiting a breach that occurs as the tablet is processing an e-book the reader has clicked on.
In the few seconds it takes for the tablet to process an e-book before displaying it to the user on the screen, the cyber investigators managed to run a code into the e-book, capable of handing complete remote control of the tablet to the hackers.
By clicking an e-book infected by malware, users could lose control of both their tablet and their Amazon accounts without ever being aware of the cyberattack occurring.
"Kindle, like other IoT [Internet of Things] products, are wrongfully though of as products which don't require a high security level," explained Itay Cohen, a Check Point senior cyber investigator, at the convention. "Any device with an internet connection is a potential target for cyberattacks," Cohen noted.
"We are delighted that Amazon realized the severity of the breach and worked with us [Check Point] to fix the issue," Cohen added.
The breaches were fixed by Amazon's security department, with assistance given by Check Point. Amazon's newest update containing a fix was released and automatically installed in Kindles all over the world.
Another Israeli cyber company was in the spotlight last month, as a report published by 17 media organizations suggested NSO's hacking spyware, Pegasus, was under "widespread and continuing abuse” by authoritarian governments.

[REGNUM] The Serbian Ministry of Internal Affairs has information that forest fires in several places in the Pčinj district (South-East Serbia) may have flared up not because of the heat, but as a result of arson. This was stated by the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Serbia Alexander Vulin on August 6.
Vulin said that he personally intends to visit this region of the country and get acquainted with the situation on the ground.
“I am very worried about the Pczyński district. We have a large number of fires there, and I suspect that in many cases we are talking about arson, ” the RTS TV channel quoted Vulin as saying.
According to the Vulin, it seems suspicious that the fires in the district broke out in different places within two hours. 'It makes a person think - is it about a natural fire, or is it still something else," added Vulin.
Recall that in many countries of southern Europe, because of the intense heat, wildfires broke out. In Turkey, the fire element has caused a real natural and humanitarian disaster.
[AlAhram] The announcement underscored President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. Former Senator-for-Life from Delaware, an example of the kind of top-notch Washington intellect hacked up by the World's Greatest Deliberative Body.... 's reversal of his predecessor Donald Trump ...His ancestors didn't own any slaves... 's plan to slash US troops in Europa ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum... and move some bases out of Germany
The US Army announced Friday that it would retain troop sites in Germany and Belgium that had been slated for handover, saying they were needed for "growing" defense demands in the region.
The announcement underscored President Joe Biden's reversal of his predecessor Donald Trump's plan to slash US troops in Europe and move some bases out of Germany.
The army said its installations in Ansbach, Kaiserslautern, Mannheim, Pirmasens, Stuttgart and Wiesbaden in Germany and at Caserne Daumerie near Chievres in Belgium would not now be turned over to the host nations.
The locations include housing, support facilities, a base for storing hundreds of armored vehicles, a warehouse location and administrative offices.
The reversal to plans made years ago to leave the locations is "due to growing requirements in the European theater," the army said in a statement.
In July 2020 Trump announced that the United States would withdraw almost 12,000 out of the nearly 35,000 US soldiers based in Germany, bringing some home and redeploying others elsewhere in Europe.
But Pentagon officials, citing the need for long-term planning for such moves, did not take immediate action and the current level of troops in Germany remains around 35,000.
After Biden came into office in January, the Trump plan was dropped as Washington views Russia as a significant threat to Europe and believes the US troop presence is crucial to the NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A collection of multinational and multilingual and multicultural armed forces, all of differing capabilities, working toward a common goal by pulling in different directions... mission.
In April, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said the Pentagon would actually add another 500 US military personnel to its rosters in Germany, to be based in Weisbaden.
In June around 28,000 soldiers from the United States and 25 allied countries took part in the Defender 21 military exercises for building readiness and interoperability between US, NATO and partner forces.
[Patterns of Evidence] The recent archaeological discovery of a hidden underground chamber reveals the largest ritual bath found to date in Jerusalem. The structure is from the Second Temple era which covers about 600 years, starting in the late sixth century BC during the time of Ezra and Nehemiah to AD 70 when the Temple was destroyed.
King David designed the First Jewish Temple and his son King Solomon built it (1 Kings 6). Babylonians demolished it some 400 years later when they conquered Jerusalem in 586 BC. Fifty-two years later, under the leadership of Nehemiah, exiles were allowed to return and begin rebuilding following a decree by Cyrus, king of Persia. (Ezra 1:1-4, 2 Chron. 36:22-23).
Later Herod the Great, acting as vassal king for Rome from 37-4 BC, began major reconstruction of the Second Temple and areas around his kingdom. One source attesting to this is ancient historian Josephus who writes about Herod expanding the Temple platform on the upper face of the mountain which was originally built by King Solomon (Antiquities 9:95).
The massive upgrades to the Temple buildings and surrounding complex started by King Herod were still in progress at the time of Jesus, according to archeologists whose recent research shows that the "Herodian Hall" wasn’t completed until decades after Herod’s death. (More Herodian Second Temple finds).
The grand building only served for a short period before it was completely obliterated by Rome as Jesus predicted in Mark.
[South China Post] Top Chinese virologist Shi Zhengli has renewed calls for the public to get vaccinated against the coronavirus, saying the pathogen will continue to mutate and the world must prepare to coexist with it.
In a report on Wednesday by Health Times, under state-run People’s Daily, Shi called on the public to not hesitate to get vaccinated.
"As the number of infected cases has just become too big, this allowed the novel coronavirus more opportunities to mutate and select. New variants will continue to emerge," Shi said.
Head of the centre for emerging infectious diseases at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, Shi has become the subject of intense speculation including a conspiracy theory that the Covid-19 may have escaped from a Chinese lab.

When you're dead, you don't know you're dead. You can't possibly know that, one way or the other, unless you have been dead at some point before making this statement.
For this fear of death is indeed the pretence of wisdom, and not real wisdom, being the appearance of knowing the unknown; since no one knows whether death, which they in their fear apprehend to be the greatest evil, may not be the greatest good. Is there not here conceit of knowledge, which is a disgraceful sort of ignorance?
- Socrates
-- However I do believe many people who are technically "alive" are so heedless and preoccupied with utter trivia that they don't really "know" they're alive. I learned that by simply looking about me from one day to the next.

[REGNUM] Video game developers partnered with Valve will receive Steam Deck consoles "this week," the GamesRadar portal reports.
Reporters noted that during a visit to Valve's office, they were able to run some games on the handheld console, and that they generally ran smoothly, even though the developers did not make any changes to the games, as they simply did not have the opportunity to test them on the Steam Deck. The GamesRadar authors noted that this in itself is a "little miracle."
In a conversation with reporters, an unidentified Valve representative noted that some partners have not yet seen the console, since even the company itself did not have them. He said that Valve received the devices "a couple of days ago" and added that the company was "nervous" because there could be a situation where she would not have anything to show to invited correspondents of GamesRadar, since the Steam Deck batch still was at customs.
Earlier IA REGNUM reported that Valve had ceased to name specific delivery dates for Steam Deck. The company began to let people who book a console, they will be able to get it only "after the second quarter of 2022" .

After 25 minutes of absolute slavering over it he tells you it's for $700 and releasing in December. Glad I just bought the wife two new phones, she'd definitely want this exorbitantly priced mini PC.

I bought Oppos before I knew they were chinese, Grom ☻. But the one wifey had before was a Samsung galaxy A10 something and performs seriously well enough. The junior will obviously want games. I don't know if the Samsung will have heat problems.
