Previously in this blog we have examined a number of cases involving medical malpractice claims. One common thread in these cases is the involvement of the state's medical review panel. This is because claims brought against healthcare providers under the Louisiana Medical Malpractice Act must be reviewed by a medical review panel before proceeding to court. The panel is made up of three doctors and one attorney. The panel's purpose is limited: its authorized by statute only to determine whether the evidence supports the plaintiff's allegation that the defendant healthcare provider failed to observe appropriate standard of care in the plaintiff's treatment and, if the standard was not met, whether the failure contributed to the plaintiff's injury. The panel is specifically prohibited from rendering conclusions about issues of material fact that do not require on an expert opinion. The panel's report, which it issues in writing, is considered an expert opinion which, though not conclusive, is admissible in any subsequent legal action.
In this post, the first of two on the case of McGlothlin v. Christus St. Patrick Hospital, we will explore the Third Circuit's treatment of the trial court's erroneous admission of the medical review panel's faulty opinion. The facts are as follows: In 1999, after nearly a decade of suffering with osteoarthritis, Margie McGlothlin checked into Christus St. Patrick Hospital in Lake Charles for a double total knee replacement. The surgery was successful, and McGlothlin's initial recovery uneventful. Three days after the procedure, McGlothlin was transferred from the main hospital to the rehabilitation wing. While there, McGlothlin alleged that she fell and injured her left knee on two separate occasions when the nursing assistants who were attempting to transfer her did so without assistance. McGlothlin, claiming that these falls caused the dislocation of her knee cap, first submitted her claim for damages to a medical review panel as required by the Louisiana Medical Malpractice Act. The panel rejected McGlothlin's claim, and she filed suit. During the trial, the parties did not dispute that McGlothlin sustained a kneecap dislocation while under the care of the hospital and that the standard of care for moving a double knee replacement patient requires the assistance of more than one trained attendant. But the hospital denied that either of the two falling events alleged by McGlothlin occurred at all and instead suggested that her dislocated kneecap resulted from physical therapy (a risk with all knee replacement procedures). Following a three-day trial, the jury returned a verdict for Christus St. Patrick's, and McGlothlin appealed.
One enumeration of error offered by McGlothlin centered on the trial court's admission of an edited version of the medical review panel's report. The editing resulted from McGlothlin's objecting during the trial to the hospital's attempt to introduce the report into evidence. McGlothlin argued that the report contained non-expert conclusions of issues of material fact, which violated the limited authority granted to the panel by state law. Specifically, the panel determined that there was "no violation of the applicable standard of care without even stating what that standard of care was. Instead, the panel's written reasons addressed only the factual conflicts raised by the information" presented by the parties. In an effort to preserve as much of the panel's report as possible, the trial court redacted from the report the panel's conclusion as well as part of the last sentence, which stated "but we feel that the versions of both of the incidents by the patient and her family appear to have numerous inconsistencies." The Third Circuit stated, "a clear reading of what remains of the medical review panel's opinion establishes to the reader that the underlying dispute was factual and not legal." Furthermore, one of the hospital's trial witnesses was an orthopedic surgeon who served as a member of the medical review panel. Although the trial court ruled that the witness could not, during testimony, state what the panel's (redacted) conclusion was, the witness "made it clear in his testimony that his opinion and that of the panel were based on factual findings." Thus, despite the trial court's attempt to shield the report's impermissible conclusions from the jury, its members were "fully informed" about how the panel's opinion was reached and that it had concluded the hospital did not violate the standard of care. The court held that the trial court's improper admission of the medical review panel's redacted opinion and the surgeon's direct testimony about the inner workings of the panel "tainted the integrity of the trial." Accordingly, the court determined that a de novo review of the record was required.
In a subsequent post, we will look at the court's analysis of McGlothlin's enumeration of error that there was no "reasonable factual basis" for the jury's conclusion that the hospital was free of liability.


With the onset of cold weather, more people than usual are suffering from dry, irritated skin—especially on the hands. The cold, dry air, along with frequent hot to cold and wet to dry changes, is the common culprit. For some, dry skin is just a small nuisance, but for others it can be a blizzard of rough, painful, and cracked skin. Fortunately, there are ways to winterproof your birthday suit.
Prevention is first! Keep your hands warm and wear gloves outside. Shower and wash in warm or cool water, not hot water. Pat dry (instead of rubbing), and apply a moisturizing cream to your troubled areas. Put moisturizer near the sink to use after washing your hands. Be careful to avoid lotions that contain alcohol or fragrances. The alcohol dries out your skin as it evaporates, and the fragrances can cause irritation. Wear comfortable clothes that breathe well but keep you warm so that you do not sweat. Keep irritating material (like wool) off your skin. The key is to avoid as many wet to dry episodes as possible (like excessive hand or dish washing), and when you can't avoid it, lather up with moisturizer!
If prevention is not enough to keep Jack Frost from irritating your skin, it is time to fight back! Use high quality moisturizers throughout the day to keep those troubled spots constantly treated. One of the cheapest moisturizers is petroleum jelly (like Vaseline®), but there are many others that don't leave you quite as greasy (so that you can still open doors). Before bed, lather up with moisturizer so that sleeping time can be healing time. Avoid getting sheets oily from greased-up hands by covering your hands with clean socks. This helps to keep sheets clean and the moisturizer in place during the night.
For moderately irritated spots, a trial of over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream two to three times a day for up to a week can often help stop the flares. You should still use the moisturizing creams during the rest of the day. Hydrocortisone, a mild steroid cream, helps to calm down the irritation and let the skin heal. Steroids can have side-effects, like thinning the skin or changing skin pigmentation (color), so they should not be used for extended periods of time without physician supervision. If the dry skin flare-up calms down within the week of treatment, stop using it, but continue with the regular preventative measures.
If nothing seems to be helping, schedule an appointment with your doctor. While proper care and prevention can often keep that co-pay in your pocket, there are times when extra help from a physician is needed. Extreme redness or pain can sometimes indicate there is more than just dry skin or mild eczema at play, and a doctor should evaluate it. If there are other symptoms (fever, cough, body aches, sore throat, fatigue), having your skin checked out by a physician is best. Finally, a visit with your physician is needed as well if you have been trying the above measures and are not seeing improvement or if the condition is worsening.

Understanding the bootstrap column should not exceed 12 columns width per row, but since I have many fields I want those those fields go into one single row with scroll bar.
How can I do that? Even thought, I set style flex-wrap: nowrap; overflow-x: scroll; to class .row already, it is still not working. Thanks.

A: you achive this using adding flex-nowrap class in .form-row div

We cannot meaningfully criticize the destruction of cultural heritage in the Middle East if we do not question the apparatuses, institutions, and mindsets that lead to terror and destruction in the first place. Just as state apparatuses can make the deaths of enemies ungrievable, cultural and educational institutions can make demolished buildings into something un-memorable.
As the Israeli bombs stop raining on Gaza and, with them, the outrage that this recent chapter of the continuous siege on this small land of Palestinian territory triggered, the last thing that we should wish is that things "go back to normal." The normal is unacceptable, since it is made of the same violence than the bombings, only in a less spectacular manner. Throughout this text, I propose to use the oxymoronic phrase of "normal violence" in order to describe the (infra)structural subjection imposed on the Gaza inhabitants.

Imaye Taga (sometimes Amaya or Amiya, , born 1 February 1985) is an Ethiopian-born Israeli former footballer who played for the Israel U21 national team, and currently serves as a member of the city council of Netanya, Israel.

Biography
Imaye (Amir) Taga was born in Ethiopia to an Ethiopian-Jewish family. The family immigrated to Israel in 1991 during Operation Solomon when he was 6 years old. On 11 August 2006 Amiya's younger brother Avi Taga was found dead by his eldest brother and the Israeli Police in Kiryat Ekron.  Taga had been missing from home since Wednesday, 9 August 2006. Club officials went to visit the player at his family residence to console him during the traditional Jewish mourning period of the Shiva.

In 2007 he changed his name back to his childhood name.  "Imaye" in the Amharic language means "a child".

Sports career
Taga attended the ORT boarding school in Netanya where he was discovered by scouts of the local side - Maccabi Netanya. Taga grew up through the ranks at Netanya, he played throughout the youth system and made his debut for the senior side at the 2003–04 season. He played for six years in the first team.

On July 28, 2010, he left Netanya and signed a two years contract with Hapoel Ashkelon. After two years spent in Ashkelon, Taga signed with Hapoel Acre on April 11, 2012.

On July 5, 2015, after five years of playing outside of Netanya, Taga returned to play for his home club of Maccabi Netanya. After 2 seasons with Netanya, Taga retired from football as he ventured into local politics. Taga is regarded as local legend in Netanya as he played 186 games in all club competitions in a total of 8 years playing for Maccabi Netanya.

On 28 February 2006, Taga made his debut for the Israel U-21s in a friendly game against Ukraine. On 11 October 2006, Taga scored the historic goal for Israel in the playoff game against France, which secured Israel's shock qualification to UEFA U-21 Championship 2007 with a 2–1 aggregate win.

On 3 August 2010, Taga got called up for the senior national team for the first time in his career. He was about to win his first cap for the national team, but an injury prevented that from happening and Taga never played a single game for the national team.

Colchester United new boy Joe Edwards says manager Tony Humes was a key factor in his decision to join the U's.
The former Yeovil Town midfielder has arrived on a free transfer after agreeing a one-year deal with the U's, with the option of a further year.
Edwards, 24, is set to fill the defensive midfield role vacated by former skipper David Fox.
And after linking up with Colchester, the former Bristol City youngster says boss Humes and his assistant Richard Hall had a big influence on his decision to sign.
Edwards told the Daily Gazette: "I had a few offers but when I met with the gaffer and Richard Hall, they impressed me a lot.
"I like the way they want to work.
"They were very keen to get me down here and played a big part in me deciding to join.
"I can't wait to get started - I'm happy to be at Colchester and I wanted to be here from the start of pre-season.
"Now it's a case of getting through the friendlies and looking forward to the new season.
Edwards ended a three-and-a-half year stay at Yeovil following their relegation from League One, last season.
The U's only just stayed up themselves last season and the midfield maestro is hoping to help steer them to a higher-placed finish, this time around.
"I played against Colchester a few times for Yeovil," said the former Glovers captain, who made nearly 50 appearances in the Championship for the Glovers in the 2013-14 season.
"Sadly, Yeovil went down last season but Colchester stayed up and hopefully this time, it will be more comfortable for us.
"The club has some impressive facilities and it's a very good training ground.
"There's a good, young squad here who are very enthusiastic and keen to learn.
"We also have a few older boys here, so that helps.
"There's a lot of young lads coming through the academy and we also have a few older boys here too, so that helps.

Q: How to get the get the lowest sum of 3 elements in matrix A = [[1, 2, 4],
        [3, 5, 6],
        [7,8,9]]

def sumof(A,3):

We need to find the lowest sum of 3 elements
here 1 + 2 + 3 = 6 so output is (1,2,3)
Can we do by using zip

A: one basic solution, convert nested list into flat list, sort it,slice sorted list and sum:
A = [[1, 2, 4],
        [3, 5, 6],
        [7,8,9]]

def sumof(A, n):
    # convert nested list into flat list
    flat_list = [item for sublist in A for item in sublist]
    return sum(sorted(flat_list)[:n])

print (sumof(A,3))

A: If you have a large array, you can do this without sorting the list,
which is a little faster like
from operator import add
from functools import reduce

A = [[1, 2, 4],
     [3, 5, 6],
     [7,8,9]]

addlists = lambda l: reduce(add, l)
list_A = addlists(A)
result = [list_A.pop(list_A.index(min(list_A))) for _ in range(3)]

It's a little more complicated, though the modules imported are really useful.

Article – Foreign Investors on Hunt for Aussie Farms
China is on the hunt for new food sources to feed its one and a half billion people and its central government has ordered $3 trillion be spent securing food and farmland overseas.
A significant share of that fortune is already flowing to Australia — a trend likely to increase with the signing of a Free Trade agreement with China last month.
The timing of the shopping spree couldn't be better for the Chinese, with so many Aussie farms going broke. Banks are looking to sell properties and overseas buyers are eyeing off our clean, green land.
John Codrington, a business advisor who grew up on a farm in Moree, has been tracking the rate of foreign investment and says it is cause for alarm.
"The Chinese government has now relaxed their one child policy, which will mean that over the ensuing years we are going to see an increased number of mouths to feed in China and their agriculture industry over there won't be able to feed them," he said.
Nearly 50 million hectares of agricultural land has some level of foreign ownership – that's an area twice the size of Victoria.
While there is no comprehensive national list of foreign investment in rural land, we do know that last year 69 countries bought a piece of Queensland, spending 1.7 billion dollars in total – and the biggest spender was China.
Federal Member for Kennedy, Bob Katter, is an outspoken supporter of Aussie farmers and says we should be wary of 'investors'.
"It's not 'investing', they're not opening mines or building dams or anything of that nature, they're just buying the asset that is there. So it's not investment, it's selling your country off."
He says where Aussie farmers have failed, the Chinese are primed to make profits.
"We sell for $2.50 a kilogram, our cattle, it sells in China for $30 or $40 a kilogram. So if you are the person in China getting the $30 or $40 dollar per kilogram then, Australia looks very attractive.
"But if you're the poor old farmer in Australia only getting $2.50 you're going to go broke."
Last month one of China's largest beef producers, Chongqing Hondo Agricultural Group announced it intended to spend 100 million dollars buying Australian cattle stations within the next year.
It may be the tip of the iceberg — Our own trade agency, Austrade, recently reported that as many 300 Chinese companies are currently looking to invest in Australia.
"The food we produce is pure and not contaminated and that makes our land very attractive," Codrington said.

Cover Reveal – Forspoken
ByKimberley Wallace
PlayStation 5, PC
Square Enix has plenty of long-running powerhouse franchises under its belt, from Final Fantasy to Dragon Quest. But every so often, the acclaimed publisher takes a chance on a new idea, and that looks like something we'll be seeing more of thanks to the establishment of Luminous Productions.
Luminous Productions was formed for the sole purpose of developing new IPs, and for its first project, Forspoken, the studio wasn't afraid to step outside of its comfort zone and bring in new talent, like Gary Whitta (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) and Amy Hennig (Uncharted), to realize its ambition. The open-world RPG transports a young New Yorker named Frey to a fantastical-but-dangerous land, where she gains magical powers to fight evil sorceresses, dragons, and zombies. Just like Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, Frey just wants to find her way home, but this is far from your typical fairytale.
For our 14-page cover story, we got the lowdown from Luminous Productions about how this unique project came to be. We also saw close to 30 minutes of hands-off footage from the game, which included a never-before-seen region called Avoalet. During our time, we encountered the flashy moves Frey will use to traverse the world and get an edge in battle alongside the various spells at her disposal. We also learned more about the fascinating world of Athia, which is where the game takes place, gaining deeper insight into the various side activities within it.
And that's only scratching the surface of our deep-dive on Forspoken, which up to this point, Square Enix has kept shrouded in mystery. You can get a look at our stylish cover below, which was created by art director Yuuki Matsuzawa, who also made Game Informer's Final Fantasy XV cover. In addition, we'll have a special Game Informer Gold variant with a different design that we'll be revealing in a few days, so stay tuned!
The magic doesn't stop there, though. This issue is packed with features, from our Spring Buying Guide to Game Informer's picks for the best Pokemon of each type. We also dive deep into upcoming games, such as Tiny Tina's Wonderlands and Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising, with the latter having a special character reveal. In addition, Jill Grodt takes us behind the scenes of the making of action/adventure game Tunic, while Wesley Leblanc explores the Metaverse and gaming's potential place within it.
Print subscribers can expect their issues to begin arriving in the coming days/weeks. The digital edition of this issue launches this afternoon for PC/Mac, iOS, and Google Play. To subscribe to either the digital or print version, click here.
For more on Forspoken, check out our coverage trailer below for a glimpse of what's in store. And don't forget to keep checking the site all month long for new features detailing the ins and outs of Forspoken.

FCS Computer Systems Becomes First Company in Malaysia to be Awarded 'Secured Software Assurance Certificate'
Home/FCS Computer Systems Becomes First Company in Malaysia to be Awarded 'Secured Software Assurance Certificate'
By admin|2017-03-14T11:38:45-04:00March 14th, 2017|
FCS | March 14, 2017
Joint TÜV-LGMS certification recognizes leading hospitality solution provider's commitment to safeguarding customers against data security threats.
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia – 14 March, 2017 – FCS Computer Systems (FCS), a leading comprehensive hospitality solutions and services provider, has become the first company with operations in Malaysia to be awarded the Secured Software Assurance Certificate by TÜV Nord and LE Global Services (LGMS). The certification recognizes FCS' successful efforts in securing its solutions to protect against data vulnerabilities and circumvent the ongoing threat of online security attacks.
Taking place during a ceremony at the FCS office in Kuala Lumpur, the certificate was presented to Director of Group Software Production, Mr. Moo Chii Der and Mr. Tan Ming Aik, Associate Director of Development. The ceremony was also attended by Ms. Eva Soo, Manager of Certification, and Mr. Fong Choong Fook, Director of LGMS, who also served as chairperson for the event.
TÜV NORD GROUP is one of the world's largest inspection, certification and testing organizations, providing a broad range of advisory, service, and testing services for a variety of industries. Established in 2005, LGMS has earned a reputation for integrity, value and best practices by providing world class professional services to clients in multiple sectors, locally, regionally and internationally. The two organizations established an official affiliation in August 2016 and introduced the 'Secured Software Assurance Certificate' program.
Conducted by LGMS security assessors, the certification process involves reviewing a platform's source code and providing a collection of written computer instructions in human readable text, which is then assembled into an executable computer program. The program then functions to introduce and discover weaknesses or flaws in a solution's programming that can be exploited by hackers. By ensuring that any security vulnerabilities are discovered and rectified before a solution's production deployment begins, FCS maximizes security and peace of mind for its hotel clients using the company's solutions. This is bolstered by the Secured Software Assurance Certificate, which serves as further proof that the solutions undergo rigorous testing.
"FCS is as committed to maintaining the privacy and wellbeing of our customers, as we are to ensuring that each solution provides them with the most efficient and cost effective operations possible," said Moo Chii Der at FCS. "We take great pride in being honored with such an award, and are confident that this certification will allow customers to continue placing their trust in us to secure and enhance their businesses."
Once a Secured Software Assurance Certificate is awarded to a company's solution(s), such recognition is valid for 6 months after issuance or until there is a change in software code, whichever occurs first. FCS will continue to work with the certification program, in order to guarantee that all of its solutions remain free of any potential security concerns.

We talk about allergies, but not everyone knows exactly what they are. Let's break it down for you! An allergy is actually a condition that you may have due to a genetic predisposition and that results in certain foods or environmental factors affecting your immune system in an abnormal way.
Hay fever is a form of an allergic reaction. Keep in mind, however, that it is not the only type of allergic reaction a person can experience. Hay fever symptoms often include annoying and painful reactions such as sore throats, congestion, repeated sneezing, red and leaky eyes, itching in the back of the throat / mouth, and so on.
You might have another type of allergic reaction, however. For example, you could experience ear infections, dizziness or fatigue, asthma, or chronic coughing. You may see rashes on your skin or experience swelling in your throat or mouth. Headaches can be an allergic symptom, as well as stomach pain or GI issues. Talk to your doctor about the symptoms you are seeing.
It is possible to develop allergies later in life. You may even experience the re-occurrence of an allergy you haven't had since you were a child. But the truth is, millions of people have allergies. The important thing is to talk to your doctor about your symptoms.
At Lake Charles Memorial, Dr. Samuel Sprehe provides focused services for ear, nose, and throat related conditions and symptoms. Allergies in the ear, nose, and throat region are referred to as "otolaryngic allergies." Talk to Dr. Sprehe about your symptoms and discuss treatment options.

In an attempt to expose you guys to as much fun, imaginative junk as you can possibly stand, I would like to share some images that I came across from a couple of my favorite designers.
This is the "Bokja Bug" and it was created by Hoda Baroudi and Maria Hibri of Bokja Design. These wildly talented designers have taken an iconic Volkwagen Beetle and covered it entirely in a patchwork of handmade vintage fabrics from the Middle East, tapestries, and car stickers. It was on display at Spazio Rossana Orlandi during Milan Design Week 2010.
benefit the children of Haiti.
I don't know about you, but I do some of my best "big thinkin'" when I'm preforming tasks like ironing a load of vintage tablecloths or painting a vintage find. The topic of most of my "big thinkin'" recently has been how I'm going to re-finish my master bath walls and how, using my original direction of Chinoiserie wallpaper, am I going to make them my own. My original thought was to just flat-out copy the design of vintage Chinoiserie wallpapers, and then I remembered a couple of pages I had pulled out of some shelter magazines last year.
Deep into the renovation of my master bath I realized that the world is made up two types of people: (1) Those who have undertaken a timely and not-altogether-necessary remodeling project all by their lonesome and (2) those who are sane.
Super-extra-crispy-crazy has become the order of the days that have made up the last 2 months that have surrounded this remodel. So much so, that I'm beginning to question my intelligence and judgement and have come to the conclusion that I'm only slightly more intelligent than dryer lint.
However, on a more positive note, and I don't want to brag or anything, but Home Depot loves me.
And I mean loves me!
So, without further ado, I'd like to share some photos of the progress that has been made in my master bath remodel. I'm hoping to have photos of the hand painted Chinoiserie design up tomorrow or Friday - so, stop by and check 'em out!


Visual Pattern Recognition, a new evolution in automatic identification, is being used from grocery stores to war zones.
Picture if you can an armored vehicle rolling down an alley in a war zone. The soldiers inside have been on patrol for many hours and are feeling the fatigue. Their senses aren't as sharp as they should be. Their eyes are tired and not moving as quickly as usual.
But when the driver's eyes pick up a sniper on a nearby rooftop, there's no panic by the crew. That's because the technology in the vehicle revealed the threat several seconds before, giving the soldiers the opportunity to take evasive action. That's visual pattern recognition in action. And that's why that same armored vehicle rolls safely back into camp at the end of the patrol.
Now see yourself in a crowded grocery store, pushing a cart full of goodies for the big party on Saturday. The basket is chock full of food and drinks and you've got the bottom of the cart jammed with cases of beer and soda. You unload the basket onto the conveyer belt and start thinking about pulling out those heavy drink cartons.
As your cart rolls past the checkstand, a camera - using the same visual pattern recognition technology that kept the soldiers out of trouble - recognizes the items in the bottom of your basket. You don't have to do anything as the items come up on the touch screen and the checker confirms your purchases. The bagger places the rest of your food back in the cart and you head back out to the parking lot, ready for the big event.
In both these scenarios, visual pattern recognition technology was used to solve a problem. Engineers and computer programmers trained a software program to see and match physical features in the real world to known controls. These features could be someone's face, a weapon, or the pattern on a carton of Diet Coke or Budweiser.
And the end result was success. Because of visual pattern recognition technology, the soldiers got back to base safely and the grocery store manager received payment for each item the customer removed from the store.
So what does visual pattern recognition technology have to do with automatic identification? At this point, the camera watching the bottom-of-the-basket rolling through the checkout lane cannot do all of the work for the checker. The camera recognizes the product, matches it with the appropriate UPC, and sends the information to the point of sale system. And paired with a bar code scanner, the system has all the information needed to charge the customer for the products carried out of the store.
Grocery industry analysts estimate that bottom-of-the-basket losses at the market can eat up 5 to 10 percent of net profits. And an experienced and effective checker will scan 97-98% of all items coming through the lane. What if the addition of the camera could provide another one or two percent increase?
Companies like Evolution Robotics are developing products today based on visual pattern recognition technologies that make this scenario a reality. Products that combat fraud and organized retail crime, and even help store managers check that the inventory on their shelves is exactly what it should be. Working in conjunction with other mature auto ID technologies, visual pattern recognition advances are showing that what seemed to be insoluble problems can be overcome.
