"Superfoods" are foods packed with nutrients that offer various health benefits, and have few if any negative properties. It's not a medical term, but one that's emerged more popular culturally. Since it's best to load up on your vitamins through diet rather than through expensive vitamins, it's always a great idea to reach for "superfoods," and we've outlined the ones that are particularly good for women in their 20s and 30s. While these multitasking foods won't make your Spidey senses tingle (or, maybe they will: read below about edamame), they may help to ward off diseases such as cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer's and osteoporosis.
Fiber-rich apples are a great food to help you feel fuller longer while providing you with a necessary dose of pectin, a soluble fiber. It's believed that pectin reduces blood pressure, cholesterol, and the risk of colon cancer, breast cancer, and diabetes.
You may know to gulp down cranberry juice if you're suffering from a urinary tract infection (as a compound in cranberry juice helps to flush bacteria from the urinary tract), but did you know that cranberries also help to reduce cholesterol? Eat them dry, fresh, ground, as a salad topping, in a smoothie, or drink natural cranberry juice. Now that's what we call versatility.
Tomatoes are loaded with the antioxidant lycopene, and they're thought to play a role in protecting the skin against damage that leads to skin cancer–cases of which have soared recently in young women. Apart from that, tomatoes are rich in vitamin C, which can give your immune system a boost.
While the research is still developing, kale may help to prevent breast and ovarian cancers. Researchers think that kale's phytonutrients may cause the body to make enzymes that combat cancer-causing substances. If you need further evidence to try out this multi-purpose green, it's also great for providing you with vitamin C, potassium and calcium. Remember, in your 20s and 30s you still need lots of calcium to build your bone mass to prevent osteoporosis.
Blueberries aren't just delicious, they may protect you against cancer and dementia, and can even neutralize free radicals that cause cell damage. That is, the nutrition in blueberries can help to protect the skin against prematurely aging (we knew that would perk you up!).
While it's the showstopper at Thanksgiving, consider eating turkey regularly year round. In terms of superfood criteria, the selenium in lean turkey breast meat will help boost your immune function. Need more reason? It contains niacin and vitamins essential for energy production.
Women in their 20s and 30s disproportionately suffer from low iron levels that can lead to anemia, which can leave you feeling tired and low energy. Eggs are not only a great source of protein to start your day off right, but they also combat anemia because they are rich in iron. An added bonus: eggs have biotin and vitamin B-12, which can help make your mane lovelier by strengthening your hair.
Popeye was on to something with his obsession with this superfood, which is rich in vitamin K, vitamin A, magnesium, folate, manganese, iron, calcium, vitamin C, vitamin B2, potassium, and vitamin B6. Spinach also provides antioxidants (via flavonoids), is anti-inflammatory, aids digestion, and helps lower the effects of stress in the body (via magnesium). Perfect, since being in your 20s and 30s may be fun, but it's a crazy stressful time of life.
Quinoa is a whole grain that's an excellent source of fiber and even has protein, so it'll help you feel fuller for longer. Quinoa's fiber and whole grain helps to prevent high cholesterol, and since it's also rich in zinc, it's thought to protect against stroke and cancer.
While salmon has omega-3 fatty acids, the key ingredient here is the DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). Your body can use DHA to protect its cellular membranes, which can help combat depression, cardiovascular disease, strokes, hypertension, and Alzheimer's. And did you know taht omega-3 fatty acids are great for keeping mucous membranes in tip top shape–dry eyes remedy, anyone?
Pistachios pack a wop of antioxidants your body needs to reduce cholesterol and even help reduce stress in some situations. In addition, they're a great source of iron, calcium and potassium. If you're looking to meet protein needs, pistachios will give you more than any other nut (apart from almonds). At snack time, go for unsalted in shells. And those shells are actually a good thing, since the time it takes to crack and eat each pistachio will make you more conscious of portion size (probably why we've heard pistachios be referred to as "the skinny nut").

The deadly impact of COVID-19 in the United States
Maria Bonnemaison
This illustration, created at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
The United States reported its first case of the novel Coronavirus in January 2020. By March, the nation reported the highest number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in the world.
COVID-19, which was first identified in Wuhan, China, has infected over 138 million people and killed about 3 million globally. The U.S. accounts for 31.5 million of those cases and over 564,000 deaths.
The pandemic took a devastating toll on the healthcare system as hospitals became overwhelmed with COVID-19 patients. The virus has affected millions of working Americans due to state-imposed lockdowns nationwide. By April 2020 over 6.6 million people had filed for unemployment benefits. By mid-July, nearly 5.4 million Americans lost their health insurance.
Throughout the course of the pandemic, misinformation has flooded social media outlets. One faulty piece of information circulating online — aimed at downplaying the severity of the virus — claims that influenza is much deadlier than COVID-19. A Facebook post written by the account The British Movement for Freedom and Justice claims that the flu is killing 14 times more people than COVID-19. However, death reports from the CDC show that in 2020 influenza killed about 8,700 people in the US. By the end of 2020, COVID-19 had killed over 370,000 people — making it over 42 times deadlier than the flu.
Because COVID-19 is considered a respiratory disease, it's important to note that pneumonia deaths, although lower, follow the same fluctuations as COVID-19. Most cases of pneumonia since January 2020 have been linked to COVID-19 infections, even if the cause of death is only reported as pneumonia. In this figure, the CDC reports "deaths involving pneumonia, with or without COVID-19."
According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, "while most people recover from pneumonia without any lasting lung damage, the pneumonia associated with COVID-19 may be severe. Even after the disease has passed, lung injury may result in breathing difficulties that might take months to improve."
According to the data reported by the CDC, COVID-19 is consistently deadlier among adults aged 50 and over. The largest number of deaths occurred among ages 85 and over. The data also shows that COVID-19 is more than half as deadly in men of all ages — except 85 and over, where women claim more than half of deaths. However, this may be due to the fact life expectancy is higher in women than in men.
Similarly, COVID-19 has not affected all states in the same way. Densely populated counties near coastal regions reported significantly higher total death counts than the rest of the country. Los Angeles County has reported a total of over 23,000 deaths, being the densest county in the country with a population of over 10 million people.
Despite the high number of deaths reported in California, the death rate per capita is lower than the majority of the states, particularly in the midwest and southwest regions of the US. Alaska, Hawaii, Maine, North Carolina, Oregon and Vermont reported the lowest death rates with less than 50 deaths per 100,000. Mississippi, New York, New Jersey, North Dakota, Rhode Island and South Dakota reported the highest death rates with over 200 deaths per 100,000.
Gove County, Arkansas reported only about 20 COVID-19 deaths. But with a population of nearly 2,640 the death rate per capita would be over 835 deaths per 100,000. Gove County holds the highest death rate of any other county in the country.
The CDC states that about 78 million — about 15% of the U.S population — have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19. As more people get vaccinated, the death rates will continue to trend down.
All data came from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (as curated by the National Center of Health Statistics) and The New York Times (A Timeline of the Coronavirus Pandemic and Coronavirus in the U.S.:Latest Map and Case Count). Data was limited to Deaths reported to the CDC by sex, age, county and state from January 2020 to March 2021 in the United States. Download datasets at Provisional COVID Deaths and COVID Deaths by County.

Does My Vote Count? The Importance of Voting in Off-Year Elections
November 4, 2019 David Childs Democracy & Me Blog, Elections, Lesson Plans, Rights and Responsibilities 58
Informing Your Conscience in "Off-Year" Elections https://www.pacatholic.org/informing-your-conscience-in-off-year-elections-2/
What is an off-year election? An off-year election is a general election that is held when neither a presidential election nor a midterm election takes place. Sometimes the term is also used to refer to midterm election years. When people in the United States think of voting they often think of participating in the national presidential election. However, the city, county and state elections, as well as congressional races can be just as important as presidential elections. The local races in small townships, villages or cities are often determined by just a few votes. So yes, your vote does count. It is true that your vote may have less of an impact in the general presidential election; but it can have a very large and more direct affect in the local or county elections.
Your Vote Greatly Influences Local Elections
There are many other elected positions on various levels that affect the everyday lives of the American people, but all too often many Americans sit on the sidelines during midterm or off-year elections. Important contests such as state governor and mayoral races to city council and school board have a major impact on the day to day lives of average citizen. Local elections can affect school funding, property taxes, zoning, law enforcement, educational curriculum, city parks and recreation, local businesses, waste collection, sports arenas, public health, charity and benevolence, religious centers, abortion debates, adult business zoning, marijuana laws, and many more aspects of our daily lives. Thus, it is very important that every American citizen educate themselves on the candidates and vote intelligently. This is a major component of a democratic society, an essential component of a successful democracy.
Previous Democracy and Me Articles on Elections
As we have said, with the upcoming election season it is important that people understand the important role informed citizens play when exercising their right to vote. In light of it being election season I would like to draw the reader's attention to previous articles we have done on the Democracy and Me site around the topic of elections and voting.
Two such articles are entitled Congressional, State, and Local Elections Voting in a Democracy- Lessons on Voter Suppression and What are the Midterm Elections All About? A resource that also offers good information about local elected offices is Who Runs the Show? Understanding Your Local Government.
Research Your Options and Vote
It is important that people get out to vote and not simply wait for the presidential election. Here is a good resource to find important information about voting and upcoming elections in your hometown. Also, below I have included some resources on elections and voting that can help voters better understand the issues and also receive some general information about the democratic process. I will also provide resources for teachers to use to inform students about voting in their classrooms.

I Voted Today: Reflections After an Election with Resources for Civic Education
Taylor Maynard
I did not know these type of elections were called Off-Year Elections. This article is interesting because it opened my eyes to the true importance of the local elections and voting for your local representatives. I'm not completely knowledgable on voting but I realize that these types of elections can be even more important than a presidential election. These are the types of changes that are going to be made in our surrounding community and these changes come fast. It is good to remember that voting is very important no matter what type of election and for those who think their one vote doesn't matter, there are thousands more probably with the same mindset.
It has been a major theme discussed in class about the importance of teaching our students the importance of civics and one of the most important civic duties we have is voting. I think we as social studies teachers need to find ways to get kids more interested in this civic duty because it's something that I didn't care much for until recently and see the value in now that I'm older. My goal is to get kids to start thinking about this earlier than I did and I would like to do more research on ways I can do this.
Wes Wentworth
I had an actually never heard the term off year election until reading this article. I did not know an off-year election was a general election that is held when neither a presidential election nor a midterm election takes place.I thinking voting is an important responsibility as a citizen and I completely agree that our votes carry much more value in local races then they do in the presidential election. I have always felt like my vote really didn't count when previously voting. After seeing some of the results in Kentucky last night I realized that every vote really counts as some of the races were extremely close.
Robert Fausz
As of the time that I am writing this comment, it is beyond certain that every single vote counts, and anyone can change the influences in their community and those who represent their best interests. The actions of local leaders have a much greater effect on our daily lives, but the Presidential race always recieves much more attention from people. Recently, it seems as if every candidate and policy has been reviewed by thousands of voters. Social media has no doubt encouraged others to vote and spread that message in a way that wasnt possible even twenty years ago.
Abileen Ann Beiting
I have read this article in the wake of Andy Beshear winning the Kentucky governor seat by 5,189 votes, and I think this alone proves the notion that your vote matters (at the state level at the very least). Voting is optional, but it is a civic duty and I think the American education system has failed us in making so many of us believe that the presidency is our most important election, it isn't. I really liked this article because it recognizes the importance of the informed voter, just last night at work I was talking about the election to a girl my age and she said "People ask me why I like Trump and I tell them I don't keep up with all that stuff, I'm a republican, that's all I know" I was dumbfounded, not because we had opposing views but because she claimed to have views when she knew nothing about politics and said she did not want to, it was evident these "views" she had most likely came from the mouths of her parents, and I felt embarrassed that this girl and I could be voting on the same issues as me and know absolutely nothing about them. It is so important to be an informed voter, if you aren't it is better that you don't do so at all, in my opinion. I think the unfortunate reality is the American culture has turned politics unto this bloodbath, where most people are in a happy middle but must fight for one of two extremes because of our two party system, people often can't talk politics without it ending friendships or relationships, so they don't and in these things we have bread and an apathetic voter population who loves to complain, but in order to see change we must vote and we must vote with a knowledge of what we are voting for and against, and we must vote in off year elections as these elections often affect the daily lives of Americans more than presidential ones, and our votes matter more. In order to fix our voter culture and the systems we don't like we must encourage voting and positive and impactful debate.
Hannah Wisniewski
I have honestly never been into voting. I grew up in a small village and we always knew who was going to win and what was going to pass because majority of the community was family or related somehow. I think this article is very intriguing because I will tell on myself, I have always had the mindset that my vote doesn't count but after this article I now understand that off year voting is very important and should be expressed more in late middle and early high school settings.
Kyle Owens
This is something I can relate to, being someone who typically leans democratic in a majority republican state, I often find myself wondering why bother with voting. This specific election, Bevin vs. Beshear, I felt very passionate about, as a future teacher, Bevin has taken several stances against Educators. Much to my chagrin, Beshear, a democratic candidate, actually won Kentucky, cementing my belief that my vote does matter.
Taylor Jenkins
Voting is one of the many civic freedoms we, as Americans, get to exercise. No matter the election, its important to put forth the time and effort to make yourself knowledgable about the candidates. A lot of people complain about of official leaders but when asked if they voted often times they will say "no I don't care about politics" or "I didn't have time" plus many more, they had the chance for their voice to be heard and they choose to ignore one of their greatest rights. My senior year of high school I was enrolled in a government class, before this class I was the type of person that would say "I don't care about politics" but after taking that class and learning about the amount of impact one vote can have, I've learned to embrace and celebrate my freedoms and educate myself on our current or future political leaders. This is a topic I strongly feel that everyone should be educated on. I hope that more people will have a enlightened experience much like I had.
Emilee B
It is good that people are so knowledgable about the Presidential election, however, off-year elections can be just as important. This off-year election is extremely important to me because it could lead to changes for my profession, all of which will hopefully be good changes and ones that could not happen if the people that are currently in charge, stay in charge. It is our duty as citizens to go out and use our rights as a democracy to make our voices heard. If we are not happy with those in charge, we have a chance to change it. It is important to remember this during all elections, and not just when it comes to electing the President of the United States.
Lily Welscher
I think this is an extremely important topic. This off-year election in particular comes to mind. As a future educator, this election for the state of Kentucky is incredibly important and could change a lot about my future career in the next few years. However, this goes for every off-year election, not just this one. It is important to educate yourself enough to make a sound decision when voting because as we know, voting is a huge responsibility and is not something that should be taken lightly. The governor, for example, can make lots of things happen for many citizens of your state so it is important to know who the candidates are and what they stand for before making your vote. I think that the overarching idea of this is just that your vote truly DOES matter!

Q: Managing focus between multiple CDHtmlDialog windows I create a modal CDHtmlDialog as my root window, and then create a modeless CDHtmlDialog window. Based on the events, clicking between the two windows shifts focus, but the root window is always in the back. How do I fix this?

A: The modeless dialog is alway on-top of the the root dialog is because the modeless dialog is created as a child of the root dialog. You can change this by making the modeless dialog a child of the desktop window instead as follows:
m_MyModelessDlg.Create(IDD_DIALOG1, GetDesktopWindow());
m_MyModelessDlg.ShowWindow(SW_SHOWNORMAL);

A: Using the desktop didn't seem to help.. I suspect because of the behavior of CDialogs. I fixed it by creating a hidden, root window, and making all of my dialogs (CDHtmlDialog's) children of that.

In my Fenway neighborhood two cherry trees in a court yard greet each-other with exuberant hellos. Gorgeously attired in their coronation robes they pay homage to the Goddess Persephone who's joyous song of rebirth awakens us to a morning of celebration.
Along Park Drive strong branches hold pink cloud-blossoms tightly in a jealous grasp. Apollo's sharp arrow pierces the glowering sky and his brilliant chariot charges through. His blazing naked body beguiles her irresistible beauty. Lovers kiss and a single peddle drifts on the rising heat of their passion.

This is the first post in a series of three on Project Life scrapbooking.
For those of you who don't know, Project Life is a pocket-style scrapbooking technique created by Becky Higgins (long-time scrapbooking superstar) in response to her need for a quick and effective alternative to traditional scrapbooking.
She came up with the model of pairing photos and stories to record her family's memories, and created the pocket pages to make it easy for anyone to document their lives simply.
By placing photos and journaling cards into the pre-determined pocket pages, it allows you to take a step back from overthinking the process with layouts, sketches and the like. It frees up your time to make even more memories to document, rather than spending hours completing one page as I used to when I did more traditional scrapbooking. It's also easy for anyone to do and is instantly gratifying to see the finished product.
Project Life Albums come in a variety of sizes. The pocket pages live in a ringed binder, allowing you to add, rearrange and remove pages as you desire There are a number of different combinations of pages, but all the pockets are based on the fact that photos are typically printed in 4X6 dimensions. This means that pockets are either 4X6 or 2X3 in size and can be landscape and/or portrait., making it easy for anyone to adapt to.
Becky has a team of very talented designers to create the journaling cards, which come in a variety of different sized packages and some even include embellishments such as gold foil, wood, chipboard, and transparent embellishments. This is great for someone who is used to the more traditional style of scrapbooking and who might not be fully comfortable finishing a page without adding a little extra flare (such as myself).
As Becky Higgins told me when I met her, there is no right or wrong way to create a Project Life album, as it is a personal journey. For our first year of marriage, I chose to document one week per page, for a total of 52 pages, but if there are very special occasions that warrant more pages, I have no problem creating more pages. You can document life chronologically on a daily, weekly, monthly or yearly basis, or by theme, event or even with no rhyme or reason at all.
One thing that blew my mind was someone recommending that you fuse the two styles together and add in some traditional scrapbooking pages to your binder amongst the Project Life pages. It is really up to you how to do it, but either way, it gets done quickly and is something special to share with your family or even just to have for yourself.
Now that you have an understanding of what Project Life is, the next post will explore tips and tricks on getting your own Project Life album started.

Q: Python / Zeep / SOAP proxy problem (I think) I am trying to get this to work:
Practitioner notes -> Python scripts for automation in NA -> Python client to invoke NA SOAP APIs
Here is my code (sanitized a bit):
#! /usr/bin/env python3
from requests import Session
from zeep import Client
from zeep.transports import Transport

session = Session()
session.verify = False

transport = Transport(session=session)

client = Client( 'https://SERVER_FQDN/soap?wsdl=api.wsdl.wsdl2py', transport=transport)

# I added this for the network proxy
client.transport.session.proxies = {
        'http': '10.0.0.1:80',
        'https': '10.0.0.1:80',
        }

# Then found I needed this because "localhost" is hard-coded in the WSDL
client.service._binding_options['address'] = 'https://SERVER_FQDN/soap'

login_params = {
            'username':'user',
            'password':'PASSWORD',
        }
loginResult = client.service.login(parameters=login_params )

sesnhdr_type = client.get_element('ns0:list_deviceInputParms')

sesnhdr = sesnhdr_type(sessionid=loginResult.Text)

devices = client.service.list_device(_soapheaders=[sesnhdr], parameters=sesnhdr)

print('\n\n ----------------------------- \n')
for i in devices.ResultSet.Row:
    print(i.hostName + ' ---> '+i.primaryIPAddress)
    params = {
            "ip":i.primaryIPAddress,
            "sessionid": loginResult.Text
            }
    device = client.service.show_deviceinfo(parameters=params)
    print(device.Text)
    print('\n\n ----------------------------- \n')

And here is my output:

I get the same errors if I use "localhost" and run the script on the server-in-question.
The system has proxy environment values set.
There are proper forward and reverse DNS entries for the server.
The name and IP for the server are also in /etc/hosts
Here is the problem:
If I use an IP address instead of the server's FQDN, the code runs.
Vendor support says the problem is not in their application that provides the endpoint:

The 503 error means that the service is not available, there are 3 situations that invoke this behavior: 1. The server is under maintenance, 2. The server is overloaded, 3. In rare cases, the DNS configuration is faulty. If we see, this problem is not related to NA because the request is working fine with the IP.

Any ideas on this ?
Why does only the IP work and NOT the FQDN or localhost ?

A: Most of the documentation I see for using proxies with Zeep start with client = Client(url) but that doesn't work if url is behind a firewall and can't be accessed except through a proxy! My attempt to do it according to the documentation did nothing but time out (of course).
The key is in understanding that Zeep is built on requests and requests can use proxies for initiating the session. So you need to build a proxied Session, then pass that session into the Transport, and initialize the Zeep client with that transport. This worked for me:

session = requests.Session()
session.auth = requests.auth.HTTPBasicAuth(soap_username, soap_password)
session.proxies = {"https": f"socks5://{settings.STATIC_PROXY}"}
transport = zeep.transports.Transport(session=session, timeout=(5, 30))
client = zeep.Client(url, transport=transport)

A: My problem lay in the fact that the initialization of Client wants to go ahead and make the connection, but I need the proxy setting at the start. So I cobbled together two examples from the official docs to set the proxy at the time the connection is made.
from zeep import Client
from zeep.transports import Transport
from requests import Session

session = Session()
session.proxies = {
    'http': 'http://username:password@proxy.example.com:8080',
    'https': 'http://username:password@proxy.example.com:8080'
}
transport=Transport(session=session)
client = Client(URL,transport=transport)


Do you really need an expert?
As with most things in life, the use of experts has been a swinging of the pendulum. When I first started practicing law we had few experts, there was limited discovery, and you presented your case in a simple fashion and received a verdict.
And then there came a period of time when jurors really required a "show," which was a result of their viewing so many TV legal dramas and investigative reporting shows.
With the diminished resources now available to the courts in California, it is a requirement that you give serious thought as to whether expert testimony will be advisable and/or necessary to prove the elements of your case. Alternatively, is it better for you to put on as simple, efficient and foreshortened a trial as possible?
1) Is this expert necessary?
2) Is the use of the expert cost effective?
3) Is the use of the expert worthy of the time taken by the testimony?
By necessary, I mean: is the issue of such a nature that someone with extraordinary knowledge, training and experience will be best able to explain to the jury what is beyond their common sense knowledge? Additionally, does the potential recovery in your case justify spending your money to advance the cost of the expert's fees and the reduction of that fee from your client's ultimate compensation? Finally, today's jurors are reluctant to serve and will the presence of an expert unduly lengthen the trial and their reluctant jury experience?
The time to start thinking about the question of using experts is at the intake of your case. It is important and I always look at the CACI jury instructions that are appropriate to the facts and circumstances of my case in deciding which issues will need expert testimony. Also, try to estimate a budget for your case in light of the issues involved. You can then proceed with a degree of confidence and it helps you to consider the best expert for the issue in question. That often means you do not need an automotive engineer, but a simple auto mechanic to best describe and explain in detail an issue.
Often, the need for an expert is on the issue of causation of the nature and extent of your client's injury and damages. In considering these issues you should give careful thought as to the medical experts necessary to completely describe the plaintiff's injuries. Don't engage in overkill! Having too many experts can unnecessarily extend the length of the trial and can be a problem. Multiple providers increase the risk that there will be some contradiction of opinions or extension into areas beyond the subject.
Be sure that your experts communicate to ensure a smooth flow of testimony and the avoidance of a duplication of testimony to which an objection will apply.
The sequence of experts is important to allow the jury to easily follow the thought process of the experts. It may be that the foundation laid by one expert is necessary to allow the testimony of a second expert.
Be sure that your expert has been provided with all favorable and unfavorable information in your case before forming his or her opinion, and most certainly before his or her testimony at either deposition or trial. Often the most devastating cross-examination simply reveals the fact that some unfavorable medical record, deposition testimony, radiograph, etc., has not been provided to your expert; the seed of doubt has now been placed in the mind of a jury and your expert's opinion is going to be given less weight.
Before selecting a particular expert, find out his or her reputation, credentials, extent of testifying experience, reputation in the community, demeanor on the stand, and ability to understand and respond to cross-examination, etc. You may end up selecting that individual to be a consultant only and never intend for him or her to be a retained expert. This person's value is to provide information for discovery, investigation, witness selection, etc.
Quite often the intelligent, knowledgeable and analytical experts do not have the ability to testify effectively or they may not have a favorable demeanor on the stand. Their linguistic skills may be lacking or their physical appearance or mannerisms will not allow them to successfully communicate to a jury or they may not be persuasive or attractive to the jury. Thus, you may pick an expert to be a consultant or to appear or be used for a mediation or settlement conference, but not to be used at trial.
You should be comfortable in communicating openly and as often as necessary with your expert. You need an expert who you are confident will take the time and make the effort necessary to carefully and thoroughly review the material upon which his or her opinion is based. Unfortunately, I have dealt with experts who are overconfident and feel it is not necessary for them to do the mundane review work necessary to give effective testimony. It has been my experience that when this is not done properly the expert either does not give effective direct testimony or is "eaten alive" during cross-examination. Too often, the excuse for a shoddy review is "to save you money by not incurring additional fees required for a full review." This false saving would be detrimental to your case and a direct benefit to your opponent.
In completing your Code of Civil Procedure section 2034 Expert Designation, be sure to include everything about which you intend your expert to testify. It is better to be overly cautious and include things that may be discussed. Omitting a topic might cause it to be excluded and prevent that witness from testifying at trial. Be sure to include things such as treating physicians in that expert exchange, even though these physicians may not have been retained experts. Additionally, you may be required to classify a treating physician as a "retained expert" if you are asking him or her medical or other opinions which would not be limited to and/or go beyond their percipient status. This could be an error that may be costly at trial, especially in something relating to causation of the injury. If that were to happen, he or she will be precluded from testifying to anything that is not based solely on their observation.
Carefully go over the curriculum vitae of your expert to ensure there isn't something in their past experience, knowledge or training which could contradict their present testimony or be detrimental to him or her. I've had situations where an individual has falsified his or her claimed credentials and has claimed honors, degrees, certifications, etc., which he or she did not actually have. Once this is exposed to a jury, the expert's testimony becomes virtually worthless. Even something as simple as an inaccurate office address or location can become devastating.
Videotape the depositions of your experts, especially when there is the slightest possibility that he or she may not be available for trial. In the present circumstances of the Los Angeles Superior Court, you can never be sure of the venue of your case or to which judge you will be assigned. On that basis, you may have difficulty convincing the expert to come to that particular location, especially if it is a distant place from his or her office. Additionally, having a deposition video allows you to show it to other experts, which is especially important if there is a reliance by another expert on the initial expert's opinions, observations, testing, etc.
As to the issue of your expert's qualifications to testify on a subject, or the propriety of allowing that subject itself to be introduced at trial, the essence of this issue is to be sure your expert can withstand a Daubert and/or Frye challenges.
Avoid socializing or having any extra-professional involvement with your experts. Often I will refer a client to a particular medical expert who has also treated me, but that involves a health-care relationship rather than a personal relationship. In other words, avoid anything which could give even the appearance of your expert showing some favoritism or slanting of his or her testimony based on anything other than the facts and circumstances of the case and the knowledge, training, and experience he or she has.
Academic institutions, especially in cases of medical negligence, are good sources when seeking out experts. These individuals often have cutting-edge knowledge that will be helpful in explaining the case to a jury and have additional or extensive knowledge about a particular type of injury or damage.
Other alternatives include searching the Web for experts (although this can be time-consuming and fruitless), searching jury verdict reporters, or utilizing the myriad expert referral services that will locate the type of medical or technical expert that you need; some of these charge you for their services and others charge the expert who you retain.
Don't attempt to have one expert cover too many issues. In other words, have your expert's opinions stay clearly within his or her field of expertise and do not try to stretch their opinions to cover issues where his or her credentials are questionable.

Although completed too late to submit to the judge, this document stands on its own as a good primer on climate change.
On March 9, 2018, Federal District Court Judge William Alsup asked legal counsel for the parties in The People of the State of California v. BP P.L.C, et al. to present a tutorial on climate science during a five-hour hearing before the court, scheduled to take place on March 21.
Judge Alsup asked each side's counsel to present an overview of current climate science and more specifically to answer eight questions posed by the judge. Judge Alsup also asked plaintiffs' counsel to produce documents related to plaintiffs' claim that ExxonMobil, BP, Chevron, and other oil companies conspired to hide evidence of an impending climate disaster.
Motivated by concern that neither party would present an objective overview of climate science, The Heartland Institute convened a team of scientists to write their own answers to the judge's questions. Unfortunately, that effort was completed too late to submit to the judge. However, the resulting document, presented here, stands on its own as a primer on climate change for anyone looking for a sound foundation in the basic science.
In this brief memo, we offer first an overview of the current state of scientific understanding of the human impact on Earth's climate, followed by some commentary providing context for the eight questions asked by Judge Alsup. Answers to the judge's questions follow, and then a comment regarding his request for documentation of the claim that the oil industry conspired to mislead the public.
The Heartland Institute, publisher of this memo, helped an independent group of scientists submit their own amicus brief, which was received by the judge's deadline. In response to that brief, plaintiffs filed a statement with Judge Alsup filled with inaccurate claims meant to discredit the amici and The Heartland Institute. The final section of this memo presents a reply by Jay Lehr to the charges made against The Heartland Institute. The qualifications of the authors of this memo appear on page 23.
1. What caused the various ice ages (including "the Little Ice Age" and prolonged cool periods) and what caused the ice to melt? When they melted by how much did sea level rise?
6. In grade school many of us were taught that humans exhale CO2 but plants absorb CO2 and return oxygen to the air (keeping the carbon for fiber). Is this still valid? If so why hasn't plant life turned the higher levels of CO2 back into oxygen? Given the increase in human population on Earth (four billion), is human respiration a contributing factor to the buildup of CO2?
NOTE: The authors of this memo are: Jay Lehr, Ph.D., Kenneth Haapala, Patrick Frank, Ph.D., and Patrick Moore, Ph.D.
Kenneth Haapala is president of the Science and Environmental Policy Project (SEPP), compiler of The Week That Was newsletter, and a contributor to the NIPCC reports.
Dr. Patrick Moore has been a leader in the international environmental field for over 40 years. He is a policy advisor to The Heartland Institute.

Spanish Goalkeeper David de Gea Signs New Contract With Manchester United
Spanish goalkeeper David de Gea signed a four-year contract with English Premier League (EPL) giants Manchester United on Friday with the option of extending it for another year.
The 24-year-old had joined the 'Red Devils' in 2011 and has made 175 appearances so far. He won the EPL in 2013 and has bagged two Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year awards.
"David de Gea has signed a new four-year contract at #mufc with an option to extend for a further year," United announced on their official Twitter handle.
"I am delighted to be starting this new chapter in my United career. I have always enjoyed playing with these great players in front of our fantastic fans. Manchester United is a special club and Old Trafford is an ideal place for me to continue to develop my career.
"I'm looking forward to putting a difficult summer behind me and concentrating on working hard to improve and help my teammates to be successful," de Gea was quoted as saying by the club's official website.
United manager Louis van Gaal welcomed the development. The Spanish international was heavily linked with a move to La Liga heavyweights Real Madrid, but the deal failed to materialise.
"I am absolutely delighted David has signed a new contract. He is one of the best goalkeepers in world football. I am very pleased that he will be part of the team for many years to come," van Gaal said.
"He is a popular player who is keen to learn and enhance his game. At such a young age for a goalkeeper, he has many years ahead of him," he added.

Resumo: The ATLAS is the largest particle detector of the LHC (Large Hadron Collider). Considering the different ATLAS subsystems, the calorimeter comprises more than 100,000 sensors and is responsible for measuring the energy of the incoming particles. Electron detection is very important to the experiment as these particles are directly related to interesting physical signatures. The identification of electrons heavily relies on calorimeter information, and the background noise, composed of hadronic jets, may occur with frequencies up to 10^5 times higher than the physics of interest, making the identification process a difficult task. In previous studies it has been proposed an alternative electron detection algorithm (Neural Ringer), in which the energy profile measured at the calorimeter is formatted into concentric rings and these signals are used to feed an artificial neural network classifier. This work proposes the use of statistical signal processing techniques added to the Neural Ringer chain, aiming at extracting more discriminant features from the preprocessed calorimeter information. Through the proposed technique it is possible to both, increase the efficiency of Neural Ringer discriminator and reduce the amount of stored information in 60%. Results with simulated data are used to show the benefits of the proposed method.

A Dolby Live (korábbi nevén Park Theater) egy fedett színház a Park MGM kaszinóhotel területén, Las Vegasban, Nevadában. A 2016 decemberében megnyílt színház elsősorban koncerteknek és rezidenciáknak ad otthont, és a Las Vegas Strip második legnagyobb színháza, amely a T-Mobile Arena és a Toshiba Plaza szomszédságában található. Befogadóképessége 6400 fő (rezidenciák során 5169 fő).

Története
A színházat 2015 júliusában jelentették be, az elavult Monte Carlo Resort and Casino nagyszabású átalakításának részeként. Az MGM Resorts International és az AEG vezetésével, 2015. november 2-án megkezdődött az "MGM Resorts Theater" (később "MCR Concert Hall" néven ismert mielőtt a jelenlegi nevet kapta volna) építése az egykori Lance Burton Theater helyén. A 90 millió dolláros színház egy év építés után, 2016. december 17-én Stevie Nicks koncertjével nyílt meg.

A színház befogadóképessége 6400 fő (5200 fő a rezidencia előadásokon), így ez a második legnagyobb színház a Strip-en a Zappos Theater mögött.

A színházat úgy tervezték, hogy a hátsó sor mindössze 145 lábra legyen a színpadtól. Emellett egy 80'x40' méretű 4K-LED képernyőt is tartalmaz.

2021 októberében a színházat a Dolbyvel kötött névhasználati megállapodás részeként átnevezték "Dolby Live"-ra. A megállapodás részeként a színház hangrendszerét a Dolby Atmos technológia használatára korszerűsítették.

Q: Set context in Dialogflow through Promise Request I am having a problem with the contexts of dialogflow, when trying to change them through fulfillment.
When I want to add (or clear, by setting lifespanCount to -1) a context I generally use this code:
const {WebhookClient} = require('dialogflow-fulfillment');
const agent = new WebhookClient({ request, response });
/*Irrelevant Code Here*/
var context=agent.session+"/contexts/contextName";
agent.setContext({
      "name":context,
      "lifespanCount": 1
});

If I use this snippet, the contexts can be successfully manipulated. However, I am now trying to use this snippet when sending a request-promise and, based on the response of that request, I want to have different outputContexts. For some reason, this action doesn't have any results, I cannot clear the contexts or create one, as these don't appear on the Firebase logs when I print JSON.stringify(request.body).
return new Promise( (resolve,reject) => {
    const request = require('request-promise-native');
    const options = {
    uri: 'link',
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
        'api-token': 'token'
    },
    body: {
        someData:"someData",
    },
    json: true
    };
    request(options)
        .then(function (body) {
        if (body.status===0)
            agent.add("Option 1");
        else {
            var sessionIdArray=agent.session.split("/");
            var sessionId=sessionIdArray[sessionIdArray.length-1];
            var context=agent.session+"/contexts/contextName";
            agent.setContext({
                "name":context,
                "lifespanCount": 1
                });
            agent.add("type something");
            }
        resolve();
    })
    .catch(function (err) {
        // POST failed...
        agent.add("An error happened during your last call.");
        console.log(err.stack);
        resolve();
    });
});

It's like the promise-request prevents the agent to set the context. Does anyone know how to make this work? Thanks in advance!


Are there any regrets on moving from Downtown to our new office building; No Way...!
In an article published by Architizer, a large online database of world architecture and building products, some design progressives view indoor vegetation as a trend on the rise. Tabletop potted plants or small terrariums have long been a staple of the office desktop. Some employers view them as just another piece of clutter mucking up your precious desk real estate; some employers view them as a refreshing burst of life and color into the traditionally stoic office environment. Levin Porter agrees with both views.
The design challenge became: how can you introduce vegetation inside a building without cluttering up precious floor/desk space? Self-contained cubicles were on the chopping block for Levin Porter's new office design. Our office operates as a team on multiple projects at the same time and cubicle walls prevent varying levels of teamwork. When the cubicle walls were deleted in the design of our new office, the desks were left facing each other without a visual break. Several "overly open concept" offices have failed in the past because there was no visual break to prevent distractions and inattentiveness. A planter wall concept took the place of the cubicle wall in Levin Porter's new office building.
This 4' tall by 1' wide half height wall provided a nice surface for workstation furniture to abut and a location for electrical and data outlets. The wall is capped by a row of Snake Plants (also known as "mother-in-law's tongue"). Snake Plants are incredibly durable potted plants with rigid leaf structures. They can survive in low light levels (which our office is certainly not lacking) and only require watering once every two weeks. Some research studies have found that these plants can remove toxins, like formaldehyde and benzene, from the air, improving the air quality of the space they occupy.
No longer are the days of the desktop terrarium or bonsai tree. With a cleaner, minimalist design philosophy for our new office, the planter wall was the solution to add a touch of nature into our workplace.
As September drew to a close, the pace of construction sped up for the end of October completion and move-in. September seemed to fly by as the final exterior material installation were completed and final finishes at the interior and exterior begins in earnest. This past month we finalized new office work stations configuration and finishes in the studio area, installation of ceiling grid was completed, HVAC systems and final lighting and power system installation were under way. Coordinating final utility connections and start-ups continue to be an issue with the various utility companies. Forms submitted months ago and accepted into the utility's system seem to go missing or need to be redone delaying final electrical service and gas connections.
Final gypsum board finishing and sanding work took longer than anticipated, probably due to the fact most of the interior walls are being painted with deep tinted colors requiring smooth and level finishes so the paint color appears uniformed and consistent. October will bring the start of final exterior grading and paving work, ceramic tile work in restrooms, carpet tile flooring and ceiling tile installation and final painting throughout the building.
We will miss downtown on some days, but look forward to the excitement and potential that the new office building will bring to the firm now and in the future.
We decided to do a custom carpet tile throughout the building (really got a great deal from the manufacturer) which led to many discussions on final paint colors and accent wall areas. We can't wait for the painter to get started to see if our initial selections will work out.
The last week of August the drywall finishers were on site and we tried to explain the differences between normal drywall control joints and what aesthetic control joints were. Needless to say I think they might not want to do an Architect's office ever again…!
September started with the exterior windows and wall siding installation. We are trying two new material installation methods for the exterior walls, so watch the website for updated pictures on the progress being made.
Just over a month ago the floor slab was poured and lumber was delivered to the job site. As the photographs shows, all the exterior walls are up and the final roofing work is just about completed on the building.
The weather during July allowed the Contractor to catch up and now it's beginning to look like a building. The interior walls are being framed up and the exterior windows were field measured and are on order. We are finalizing interior finishes, new system furniture manufacturers as well as final locations for TV's and monitors. We used an ice and water shield membrane for a tighter building envelope instead of the typical building wrap over the exterior wall sheathing. The ice and water shield didn't really cost much for the upgrade, but the long term results will be greater than the traditional building wrap product.
Some of the issued we dealt with last month was trying to arrange new utility connections especially with AT&T. It seems all AT&T cares about is billing the new service prior to even completing the building and installing the phone lines to the building, what a pain in the ---. It's unfortunate that we can't get Time Warner in the areas for data and phone service, so we are stuck with AT&T for now.
