Interview With Nathaniel Gomez
Nathaniel Gomez is a 15-year-old high school student, entrepreneur, actor, and social media influencer from San Antonio, Texas.
Nathaniel Gomez
Nathaniel Gomez (born November 17, 2004) is an American Actor, Influencer, and Entrepreneur. Gomez has been growing his social media pages while still managing with his school work. He's been able to do this all while living the traditional life of a teenage boy with a dream.
We asked Gomez some questions about his story that have insights you could apply in your own life.
1) Small Beginnings
Q: How did you get started and what or who inspired and empowered you?
"I have always wanted to work for myself. I take after my mother, who is a business owner. Although in a very different industry she is my main inspiration in pursuing these careers. I also look up to several large influencers such as Adam Sandler, Will Smith, and others, as my primary focus has always been social media and acting."
Q: What strategies did you use when getting started?
"For my acting career I decided to audition for a company that would help me get into the industry. They took me under their wing and taught me the main keys to acting. A couple of months into working with the company they brought in talent agents to see if they were interested in signing me. Although I cannot discuss further into contracts with talent agencies just know I've been doing great in this industry."
2) Mindset
Q: What kind of mindset is essential for success?
"The most important trait to have is self confidence and you must believe in yourself no matter what. Many people will face plenty of challenges and tribulations in any industry. Truly, the only thing that distinguishes me from the next person is the fact that I get back up and keep working after setbacks. There are no problems that can ever fully stop you have from pursuing your goal. Be relentless in whatever you do and you will find success."
3) Success
Q: How do you treat failure?
"I approach failure as an opportunity to learn rather than to quit. In my opinion, failure is vital to succeed. I can guarantee that there is not a single influencer, actor, or company that has succeeded without failure. I take it as a moment to see what went wrong and how I can do better next time. You should be just as excited to fail as you are to succeed."
Q: What does success mean to you?
"I believe that I will feel successful when I can support myself and those around me. I want to reach my full potential. Apart from traditional measures of success like money, I also want to have strong relationships with those around me. I will know when I have succeeded when I can help others in need without having to worry about myself."

FIG. 1 schematically illustrates an automotive vehicle 10 according to the present disclosure. The vehicle 10 generally includes a body 11 and wheels 15. The body 11 encloses the other components of the vehicle 10. The wheels 15 are each rotationally coupled to the body 11 near a respective corner of the body 11. The vehicle 10 further includes side-mounted rear view mirrors 17 coupled to the body 11. Each of the side-mounted rear view mirrors or mirrors 17 includes a housing 18 enclosing a selectively positionable reflective surface 19. The reflective surfaces 19 of the mirrors 17 provide rear and/or side visibility to the operator of the vehicle 10 on one or both sides of the vehicle. The vehicle 10 is depicted in the illustrated embodiment as a passenger truck, but it should be appreciated that any other vehicle, with or without a trailer, including motorcycles, cars, sport utility vehicles (SUVs), or recreational vehicles (RVs), etc., can also be used. Additionally, while the figures illustrate adjustment of the side-mounted rear view mirrors 17 of the vehicle 10, the methods and systems disclosed herein could also be applied to adjustment of other mirrors, cameras, or sensors of the vehicle 10, such as a side-mounted camera, a rear view mirror, or other examples.
The vehicle 10 includes a propulsion system 13, which may in various embodiments include an internal combustion engine, an electric machine such as a traction motor, and/or a fuel cell propulsion system. The vehicle 10 also includes a transmission 14 configured to transmit power from the propulsion system 13 to the plurality of vehicle wheels 15 according to selectable speed ratios. According to various embodiments, the transmission 14 may include a step-ratio automatic transmission, a continuously-variable transmission, or other appropriate transmission. The vehicle 10 additionally includes wheel brakes (not shown) configured to provide braking torque to the vehicle wheels 15. The wheel brakes may, in various embodiments, include friction brakes, a regenerative braking system such as an electric machine, and/or other appropriate braking systems.
The vehicle 10 additionally includes a steering system 16. While depicted as including a steering wheel and steering column for illustrative purposes, in some embodiments, the steering system 16 may not include a steering wheel. In various embodiments, the vehicle 10 also includes a navigation system 28 configured to provide location information in the form of GPS coordinates (longitude, latitude, and altitude/elevation) to a controller 22. In some embodiments, the navigation system 28 may be a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) configured to communicate with global navigation satellites to provide autonomous geo-spatial positioning of the vehicle 10. In the illustrated embodiment, the navigation system 28 includes an antenna electrically connected to a receiver.
With further reference to FIG. 1, the vehicle 10 also includes a plurality of sensors 26 configured to measure and capture data on one or more vehicle characteristics, including but not limited to vehicle speed, steering angle, and vehicle heading. In the illustrated embodiment, the sensors 26 include, but are not limited to, an accelerometer, a speed sensor, a heading sensor, gyroscope, steering angle sensor, or other sensors that sense observable conditions of the vehicle or the environment surrounding the vehicle and may include RADAR, LIDAR, optical cameras, thermal cameras, ultrasonic sensors, and/or additional sensors as appropriate. The vehicle 10 also includes a plurality of actuators 30 configured to receive control commands to control steering, shifting, throttle, braking, mirror position or position of a reflective surface of a mirror, or other aspects of the vehicle 10, as discussed in greater detail below.
The vehicle 10 includes at least one controller 22. While depicted as a single unit for illustrative purposes, the controller 22 may additionally include one or more other controllers, collectively referred to as a "controller." The controller 22 may include a microprocessor or central processing unit (CPU) or graphical processing unit (GPU) in communication with various types of computer readable storage devices or media. Computer readable storage devices or media may include volatile and nonvolatile storage in read-only memory (ROM), random-access memory (RAM), and keep-alive memory (KAM), for example. KAM is a persistent or non-volatile memory that may be used to store various operating variables while the CPU is powered down. Computer-readable storage devices or media may be implemented using any of a number of known memory devices such as PROMs (programmable read-only memory), EPROMs (electrically PROM), EEPROMs (electrically erasable PROM), flash memory, or any other electric, magnetic, optical, or combination memory devices capable of storing data, some of which represent executable instructions, used by the controller 22 in controlling the vehicle.
FIG. 2 schematically illustrates the vehicle 10 traveling along a road 200 having a curve or turn. For vehicles, such as the vehicle 10, illustrated as towing a trailer 12, the position of the reflective surface 19 of the mirrors 17 may not provide sufficient rear and side visibility. For vehicles towing a trailer, the trailer 12 following behind the vehicle 10 may obscure rear and/or side visibility, particularly as the vehicle 10 enters a curve or completes a turn. Areas 101 illustrate the side and rear area viewable to the operator when the reflective surfaces 19 are in a first, or original, position. While FIG. 2 illustrates a vehicle 10 towing a trailer 12, the methods and systems discussed herein for adjusting the reflective surface 19 of the mirrors 17 are applicable to any type of vehicle, with or without a trailer, such as motorcycles, cars, sport utility vehicles (SUVs), or recreational vehicles (RVs). As shown in FIG. 2, as the vehicle 10 negotiates a left-hand curve, the area 101 on the left side of the vehicle 10 is partially obscured by the rear portion of the vehicle 10 and the trailer 12. Area 103 illustrates an improved viewable area when the reflective surface 19 of the left-side mirror 17 is moved to a second, or adjusted, position. Angling the reflective surface 19 of the mirror increases the usable viewable area to the side and the rear of the vehicle 10. FIG. 2 illustrates the vehicle 12 negotiating a left hand bend or curve, with an associated adjustment to the reflective surface 19 of the left-side mirror 17. If the vehicle 10 is negotiating a right hand bend or curve, the reflective surface 19 of the right-side mirror 17 could be positioned or adjusted to increase the viewable area in a manner similar to that shown in FIG. 2. While FIG. 2 illustrates an adjustment to the position of the reflective surface 19 of the left-side mirror 17 when the vehicle 10 negotiates a left hand bend or curve, adjustments could be made to the mirror 17 closest to the inside of the curve or to both mirrors 17 of the vehicle 10. Similarly, when the vehicle 10 negotiates a right hand bend or curve, adjustments could be made to the mirror 17 closes to the inside of the curve or to both mirrors 17 of the vehicle 10.
With reference to FIG. 3, the controller 22 includes a mirror positioning system 24 for calculating an adjustment to the position of the reflective surface 19 of the side-mounted rear view mirrors 17. In an exemplary embodiment, the mirror positioning system 24 is configured to receive information from the plurality of sensors 26 and/or the navigation system 28, analyze the sensor and/or the navigation input, determine whether the vehicle 10 has entered a turn or curve or if a turn or curve is upcoming on a predicted vehicle path, calculate an adjustment to a position of the reflective surface 19 of one or more of the mirrors 17 of the vehicle 10, and transmit a control signal to one or more actuators 30 to change the position of the reflective surface 19 of one or more of the mirrors 17.
The mirror positioning system 24 includes a sensor fusion module 40 for receiving input on vehicle characteristics, such as vehicle speed, steering angle, navigation data, or other vehicle characteristics. The sensor fusion module 40 is configured to receive input 27 from the plurality of sensors, such as the sensors 26 illustrated in FIG. 1, including information on the environment surrounding the vehicle 10, for example and without limitation, optical images capturing the area forward of the vehicle 10 in the direction of travel, RADAR images, and LIDAR images. Additionally, the sensor fusion module 32 receives navigation data 29 including longitude, latitude, and elevation information (e.g., GPS coordinates) from the navigation system 28.
The sensor fusion module 40 processes and synthesizes the inputs from the variety of sensors 26 and the navigation system 28 and generates a sensor fusion output 42. The sensor fusion output 42 includes various calculated parameters including, but not limited to, the vehicle location and whether the vehicle is negotiating a bend or curve or making a turn. In some embodiments, to determine whether the vehicle is negotiating a bend or curve or making a turn, the sensor fusion module 40 evaluates a steering angle provided by a steering angle sensor of the sensors 26 and determines whether the steering angle is above a predetermined steering angle threshold. In some embodiments, the predetermined steering angle threshold is above 45 degrees, above 50 degrees, above 60 degrees, above 75 degrees, or above 90 degrees. In some embodiments, the sensor fusion module 40 evaluates the navigation data to determine the location of the vehicle 10 and from map data accessed from off-board the vehicle via a wireless connection or accessed from an onboard map database stored within a controller of the vehicle 10, determines if the vehicle 10 is on or approaching a bend or curve. In some embodiments, for vehicles equipped with optical, RADAR, and LIDAR sensors, the sensor fusion module 40 evaluates the optical, RADAR, and LIDAR data provided by the sensors 26 and determines if the vehicle 40 is negotiating a bend or curve or making a turn.
With continued reference to FIG. 3, the mirror positioning system 24 also includes a calculation module 44 for calculating an adjustment to a position of the reflective surface 19 of one or more of the side-mounted rear view mirrors 17. In some embodiments, the calculated adjustment is based on sensor data received from the sensors 26, such as the steering angle of the vehicle 10 or gyroscopic data indicating that the vehicle 10 is negotiating a bend or curve or making a turn. In some embodiments, the calculated adjustment is based on navigation data indicating an upcoming bend or curve along the vehicle's projected path or a current bend on turn in the road based on the vehicle's current location, as discussed above.
In some embodiments, the adjustment to the position of the reflective surface 19 could be a predetermined number of degrees of rotation from an initial or first position. The initial or first position of the reflective surface 19 could be set by the operator as the primary position based on operator preferences. The calculation module 44 processes and synthesizes the sensor fusion output 42 to determine the adjustment in number of degrees and generates a calculation output 46. In some embodiments, the number of degrees of the adjustment to the position of the reflective surface 19 could be predetermined. For example, and without limitation, when the vehicle 10 begins a turn to the left, as determined by the sensor fusion module 40, the reflective surface 19 of the left-side mirror 17 could be adjusted or positioned by a predetermined amount to a second position. In some embodiments, the adjustment amount between the first position to the second position of the reflective surface 19 is within a calibratable range. The calibratable range could be determined by the calculation module 44 based on, for example and without limitation, a calculated radius of the turn, the type of vehicle, and an adjustable range of the reflective surface 19. In some embodiments, when the reflective surface 19 is in a neutral, or unadjusted position, the reflective surface 19 can be adjusted plus or minus (+/−) approximately 15 degrees, for a total possible adjustable range of approximately 30 degrees. For example, and without limitation, when the vehicle 10 negotiates a turn with a tighter or smaller radius, the calculation module 44 calculates a larger adjustment to the position of the reflective surface 19 of the mirror 19 than when the vehicle negotiates a turn with a larger radius. In some embodiments, the adjustment amount could be between about 1-15 degrees, between about 3-12 degrees, or between about 5-10 degrees. In some embodiments, the adjustment amount could be about 15 degrees, about 13 degrees, about 10 degrees, about 8 degrees, about 5 degrees, or about 2 degrees.
The mirror positioning system 24 further includes a positioning control module 48 for issuing control commands to vehicle actuators configured to adjust the position of the reflective surface 19 of one or more of the mirrors 17 from a first position to a second position. The positioning control module 48 is configured to receive the calculation output 46. The positioning control module 48 processes the calculation output 46 and generates an actuator control output 31. The actuator control output 31 is communicated to the actuators 30 and includes a set of actuator commands to position the reflective surface or surfaces 19 of the mirrors 17 based on the adjustment amount received from the calculation module 44.
FIG. 4 is a flow chart of a method 400 illustrating the calculation of an adjustment to the position of the reflective surface 19 of one or more of the mirrors 17 and transmission of an actuator control signal to adjust the position of the reflective surface 19 based on the calculated adjustment. The calculation of the adjustment is based on one or more of the vehicle steering angle, navigation data indicating the vehicle location, gyroscopic data, and optical, RADAR, and/or LIDAR images of the area surrounding the vehicle. The vehicle steering angle, the gyroscopic data, and the optical, RADAR, and LIDAR images are obtained from the sensors 26 which include, in some embodiments, a steering angle sensor and/or a gyroscope and/or optical, RADAR, and LIDAR sensors. The navigation data is obtained from the navigation system 28. The method 400 can be utilized in connection with the vehicle 10, the controller 22, and the various modules of the mirror positioning system 24, in accordance with exemplary embodiments. The order of operation within the method 400 is not limited to the sequential execution as illustrated in FIG. 4, but may be performed in one or more varying orders as applicable and in accordance with the present disclosure.
As shown in FIG. 4, starting at 402, the method 400 proceeds to 404. At 404, the sensor fusion module 40 of the mirror positioning system 24 receives the sensor input and/or the navigation input indicating that the vehicle 10 is negotiating a bend or curve along the path of travel or is making a turn. The sensor input is received from the plurality of sensors 26, including one or more of a steering angle sensor, a gyroscope, and optical, RADAR, and LIDAR sensors, and the navigation data is received from the navigation system 28.
Next, at 406, the calculation module 44 determines whether the sensor data and/or the navigation data indicates that the vehicle 10 is negotiating a bend or curve or making a turn. If the sensor data and/or the navigation data indicates the vehicle 10 is not making a turn or negotiating a bend or curve, the method returns to 404 and the method 400 continues as follows.
If the sensor data and/or the navigation data indicates the vehicle 10 is making a turn or negotiating a bend or curve, the method proceeds to 408. At 408, the calculation module 44 determines whether to adjust the position of the reflective surface 19 of the left-side or right-side mirror 17 or whether to adjust the position of the reflective surfaces 19 of both of the mirrors 17. Additionally, the calculation module 44 calculates the amount of adjustment to move the reflective surface 19 from the first position to the second position. In some embodiments, a different amount of adjustment is determined for the left-side mirror and the right-side mirror.
Next, at 410, the positioning control module 48 generates an actuator control output 31. The actuator control output 31 is communicated to the actuators 30 and includes a set of actuator commands to change the position of the reflective surface 19 of the mirrors 17 from the first position to the second position based on the adjustment amount received from the calculation module 44.
The method proceeds to 412. At 412, the calculation module 44 determines whether the sensor data and/or the navigation data indicates that the vehicle 10 is no longer negotiating a bend or curve or making a turn. If the sensor data and/or the navigation data indicates the vehicle 10 is still making a turn or negotiating a bend or curve, the method 400 proceeds to 416 and no change is made to the position of the reflective surface 19 of the mirrors 17. The method 400 returns to 404 and the method 400 continues as discussed above.
However, if the calculation module 44 determines, at 412, that the vehicle 10 is no longer negotiating a bend or curve or making a turn, the positioning control module 48 generates an actuator control output 31, based on the calculation output 46, that includes a set of actuator commands to return the position of the reflective surface 19 to the initial or first position. The method 400 returns to 404 to continue the method as discussed above.

The term "about" or "approximately" means that quantities, dimensions, sizes, formulations, parameters, shapes and other characteristics need not be exact, but may be approximated and/or larger or smaller, as desired, reflecting acceptable tolerances, conversion factors, rounding off, measurement error and the like and other factors known to those of skill in the art. The term "substantially" means that the recited characteristic, parameter, or value need not be achieved exactly, but that deviations or variations, including for example, tolerances, measurement error, measurement accuracy limitations and other factors known to those of skill in the art, may occur in amounts that do not preclude the effect the characteristic was intended to provide.
Numerical data may be expressed or presented herein in a range format. It is to be understood that such a range format is used merely for convenience and brevity and thus should be interpreted flexibly to include not only the numerical values explicitly recited as the limits of the range, but also interpreted to include all of the individual numerical values or sub-ranges encompassed within that range as if each numerical value and sub-range is explicitly recited. As an illustration, a numerical range of "about 1 to 5" should be interpreted to include not only the explicitly recited values of about 1 to about 5, but should also be interpreted to also include individual values and sub-ranges within the indicated range. Thus, included in this numerical range are individual values such as 2, 3 and 4 and sub-ranges such as "about 1 to about 3," "about 2 to about 4" and "about 3 to about 5," "1 to 3," "2 to 4," "3 to 5," etc. This same principle applies to ranges reciting only one numerical value (e.g., "greater than about 1") and should apply regardless of the breadth of the range or the characteristics being described. A plurality of items may be presented in a common list for convenience. However, these lists should be construed as though each member of the list is individually identified as a separate and unique member. Thus, no individual member of such list should be construed as a de facto equivalent of any other member of the same list solely based on their presentation in a common group without indications to the contrary. Furthermore, where the terms "and" and "or" are used in conjunction with a list of items, they are to be interpreted broadly, in that any one or more of the listed items may be used alone or in combination with other listed items. The term "alternatively" refers to selection of one of two or more alternatives, and is not intended to limit the selection to only those listed alternatives or to only one of the listed alternatives at a time, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
The processes, methods, or algorithms disclosed herein can be deliverable to/implemented by a processing device, controller, or computer, which can include any existing programmable electronic control unit or dedicated electronic control unit. Similarly, the processes, methods, or algorithms can be stored as data and instructions executable by a controller or computer in many forms including, but not limited to, information permanently stored on non-writable storage media such as ROM devices and information alterably stored on writeable storage media such as floppy disks, magnetic tapes, CDs, RAM devices, and other magnetic and optical media.

Everett B. Gibson, Bateman Gibson & Childers, Seymour S. Rosenberg, Rosenberg Law Office, Memphis, TN, for Plaintiff.
Andrew T. Bayman, Dorian N. Daggs, Robert B. Friedman, S. Samuel Griffin, King & Spalding, LLP, Atlanta, GA, Jill M. Steinberg, Baker Donelson Bearman Caldwell & Berkowitz, Memphis, TN, Robert E. Glanville, Phillips Lytle LLP, Buffalo, NY, for Defendant.
Plaintiff, Douglas Richardson, brought this products liability action against the Defendant, GlaxoSmithKline ("GSK"), under theories of negligence, strict liability, and breach of warranty for personal injuries he suffered as a result of approximately five suicide attempts allegedly caused by Paxil, a prescription medicine manufactured and marketed by GSK. Jurisdiction in this Court is premised upon diversity of citizenship. See 18 U.S.C. ¶ 1332. Before the Court is the motion of the Defendant for summary judgment pursuant to Rule 56, Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. For the reasons set forth below, the Court GRANTS the motion of the Defendant.
Rule 56(c) provides that a judgment . . . shall be rendered forthwith if the pleadings, depositions, answers to interrogatories, and admissions on file, together with the affidavits, if any, show that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and that the moving party is entitled to a judgment as a matter of law.
FED. R. Civ. P. 56(c); see Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 322, 106 S.Ct. 2548, 91 L.Ed.2d 265 (1986); Canderm Pharmacal, Ltd. v. Elder Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 862 F.2d 597, 601 (6th Cir.1988). In reviewing a motion for summary judgment, the evidence must be viewed in the light most favorable to the nonmoving party. Matsushita Elec. Indus. Co., Ltd. v. Zenith Radio Corp., 475 U.S. 574, 587, 106 S.Ct. 1348, 89 L.Ed.2d 538 (1986). When the motion is supported by documentary proof such as depositions and affidavits, the nonmoving party may not rest on his pleadings but, rather, must present some "specific facts showing that there is a genuine issue for trial." Celotex, 477 U.S. at 324, 106 S.Ct. 2548. It is not sufficient "simply [to] show that there is some metaphysical doubt as to the material facts." Matsushita Elec. Indus. Co., 475 U.S. at 586, 106 S.Ct. 1348. These facts must be more than a scintilla of evidence and must meet the standard of whether a reasonable juror could find by a preponderance of the evidence that the nonmoving party is entitled to a verdict. Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc., 477 U.S. 242, 252, 106 S.Ct. 2505, 91 L.Ed.2d 202 (1986). Summary judgment must be entered "against a party who fails to make a showing sufficient to establish the existence of an element essential to that party's case, and on which that party will bear the burden of proof at trial." Celotex, 477 U.S. at 322, 106 S.Ct. 2548. In this circuit, "this requires the nonmoving party to `put up or shut up' [on] the critical issues of [his] asserted causes of action." Lord v. Saratoga Capital, Inc., 920 F.Supp. 840, 847 (W.D.Tenn.1995) (citing Street v. J.C. Bradford & Co., 886 F.2d 1472, 1478 (6th Cir.1989)). Finally, the "judge may not make credibility determinations or weigh the evidence." Adams v. Metiva, 31 F.3d 375, 379 (6th Cir.1994).
Plaintiff commenced this action on August 10, 2004 seeking $4 million in compensatory and punitive damages for the personal injuries he suffered as a result of the suicides attempts allegedly caused by Paxil. On November 18, 2005, GSK filed the instant motion for summary judgment to which the Plaintiff has responded. In its motion, GSK claims that Richardson has failed to create a genuine issue of material fact as to whether the Defendant's product caused his injuries. The Defendant further submits that the learned intermediary doctrine bars any claims by Plaintiff.
Federal courts considering diversity cases must apply state law. Erie R.R. Co. v. Tompkins, 304 U.S. 64, 78, 58 S.Ct. 817, 822, 82 L.Ed. 1188 (1938). Although the Plaintiff's complaint does not cite the specific basis for his allegations, product liability suits in Tennessee are governed by the Tennessee Products Liability Act of 1978, codified at Tennessee Code Annotated § 29-28-101, et seq. The statute applies to "all actions brought for or on account of personal injury, death or property damage caused by or resulting from the manufacture, construction, design, formula, preparation, assembly, testing, service, warning, instruction, marketing, packaging or labeling of any product." TENN.CODE ANN. § 29-28-102(6); see also Vaughn v. DP Packaging, Inc., 17 Fed.Appx. 286, 2001 WL 966278, at *2 (6th Cir.2001); Coffey v. Dowley Mfg., Inc., 187 F.Supp.2d 958, 967 (M.D.Tenn.2002). Such actions include, but are not limited to, "all actions based upon the following theories: strict liability in tort; negligence; breach of warranty, express or implied; breach of or failure to discharge a duty to warn or instruct, whether negligent, or innocent; misrepresentation, concealment, or nondisclosure, whether negligent, or innocent; or under any other substantive legal theory in tort or contract whatsoever[.]" TENN.CODE ANN. § 29-28-102(6).
Under the statute, a manufacturer or seller of a product may be liable for injuries "caused by the product" shown to have been "in a defective condition or unreasonably dangerous at the time it left the control of the manufacturer or seller." TENN.CODE ANN. § 29-28-105(a); see also Pride v. BIC Corp., 218 F.3d 566, 580 (6th Cir.2000), reh'g and suggestion for reh'g en banc den. (Sept. 14, 2000). In order to recover, a plaintiff must show that "the product manufactured and sold by the defendant proximately caused the injuries [he] allege[s] to have sustained." Bailiff v. Manville Forest Products Corp., 772 F.Supp. 1578, 1580 (S.D.Miss.1991) (citing Higgs v. General Motors Corp., 655 F.Supp. 22, 23, 26 (E.D.Tenn.1985), aff'd, 815 F.2d 80 (6th Cir.1987); Caldwell v. Ford Motor Co., 619 S.W.2d 534, 536-39 (Tenn.Ct.App.1981); Wyatt v. Winnebago Indus., Inc., 566 S.W.2d 276, 280-81 (Tenn. Ct.App.1978)). To be a proximate cause, the cause "must be such that had it not happened the injury would not have been inflicted." Shouse v. Otis, 224 Tenn. 1, 448 S.W.2d 673, 676 (1969). "[U]nder Tennessee law, expert testimony is required to establish liability in cases alleging manufacturing and design defects." Pride, 218 F.3d at 580 (citing Fulton v. Pfizer Hosp. Prod. Group, Inc., 872 S.W.2d 908, 912 (Tenn.Ct.App.1993), app. den. (Tenn. 1994)).
Q: Why did you switch [Richardson] from Lexapro to Effexor?
A: I began looking at this that his abreaction to medication might not be specific to an SSRI but SSRI's in general, and so I thought, Let's go to something  Effexor has an SSRI component, but also has a dual diagnosis. It's a different kind of anti-depressant. It has some norepinephrine/noranagesic, and I thought let's get away from SSRI's, we've had enough suicide attempts and this may not be specific to any particular SSRI but just in the family in general.
Q: Are you aware of any scientific study that demonstrates that Paxil can cause suicidality in adult patients?
A: Yes, I have seen some studies; I can't recall right now, but it was more a part of a general, over-all review of SSRIs in general and Paxil was included in that.
Q: You continue to prescribe Paxil in your practice?
Q: You think it's safe?
Q: You think it's effective?
(Knott Dep. at 62-63.) The Court finds, however, that none of the submitted testimony states an opinion that, had Richardson not ingested Paxil, he would not have experienced the suicidal behavior complained of. See Shouse, 224 Tenn. 1, 448 S.W.2d at 676. Rather, it appears at most, that there were several contributing causes to the injuries, of which Paxil was only one.
1. Diagnosis  Major depressive disorder recurrent severe with psychotic features and alcohol dependence. These diagnoses would increase the suicidality in any patient regardless of whether or not alcohol consumption was involved in the suicide attempt.
2. Two of the suicide attempts requiring hospitalization did not involve the use of Paxil.
3. Marital conflict documented in the patient's chart.
4. Financial problems documented in the patient's chart.
5. Occupational problems documented in the patient's chart.
7. Prescription of anti-depressant medications.
It is further my opinion that it is impossible to identify one particular factor or one particular medication that could be considered the proximate cause for his suicidal behaviors. Any clinician who would attempt to do so would have to make an unwarranted cognitive leap that would inevitably result in mischievous conclusions.
if the defendant's action was a significant factor in bringing about the plaintiffs injury."). Knott's opinions do not provide a basis from which the Court can conclude that Paxil was a substantial, predominate, or significant factor, as compared to the others identified by Plaintiffs treating physician, in bringing about Richardson's injuries.
Because he has not offered any expert testimony establishing that Paxil is the proximate cause of the injuries he suffered as a result of his suicide attempts, Richardson cannot establish a key element of his claim under the Tennessee Products Liability Act. See Downs v. Perstorp Components, Inc., 26 Fed.Appx. 472, 477 (6th Cir.2002) ("without admissible expert testimony on causation, no reasonable jury could find for [the] plaintiff[ ] because Tennessee law requires proof of causation for both strict liability and negligence actions."); Pride, 218 F.3d at 580-81 (citing Fulton, 872 S.W.2d at 912). As such, Defendant's motion of for summary judgment is GRANTED.
the opponent of a motion for summary judgment who disputes any of the material facts upon which the proponent has relied . . . shall respond to the proponent's number designations, using the corresponding serial numbering, both in the response and by affixing to the response copies of the precise portions of the record relied upon to evidence the opponent's contention that the proponent's designated material facts are at issue.
LR 7.2(d)(3), Local Rules of the U.S. Dist. Ct. for the W. Dist. of Tenn. On December 21, 2005 the Plaintiff filed his Statement of Undisputed Material Facts offering two additional facts. (Pl.'s Statement Undisp. Mat. Facts ("Pl.'s Facts") at 1.) However, because Richardson did not respond in opposition to the facts submitted by GSK as provided by Local Rule 7.2(d)(3), the Court must assume that those facts are undisputed.
6. Specifically, Plaintiff states that he "designated as his expert witness a toxicologist by the name of Richard Parent, who had not actually completed his analysis of the medical causation issue at the time his deposition was taken." (Pl.'s Resp. at 2.) Because Plaintiff has not submitted any further reports or evidence indicating Parent's position on causation, the Court can only conclude, as GSK contends, that his opinion does not reach this issue.
7. The Court notes Plaintiff's assertion that the July 1, 2005 letter was attached as an exhibit to Knott's deposition. (Pl.'s Statement of Undisputed Facts ¶ 1.) However, Plaintiff has failed to submit the relevant portions of Knott's deposition or any other sworn statement by the physician authenticating the letter. While the portion of Knott's deposition included in support of Defendant's motion for summary judgment mentions a letter in which Knott clarified his opinion, the testimony does not indicate the date of the letter or other information from which this Court can confirm its authentication. (Knott Dep. at 8.) Accordingly, the admissibility of Knott's letter is questionable. See Tolliver v. Federal Republic of Nigeria, 265 F.Supp.2d 873, 879 (W.D.Mich.2003) (noting that the Sixth Circuit, in accordance with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 56(e), has held that courts should not consider unsworn or uncertified documents, unsworn statements, inadmissible expert testimony, or hearsay evidence in resolving a motion for summary judgment). However, because the letter is not determinative of the matter, and in fact, tends to negate rather than bolster Plaintiff's position, the Court will consider it. See Wiley v. United States, 20 F.3d 222, 226 (6th Cir.1994) ("If a party fails to object before the district court to the affidavits or evidentiary materials submitted by the other party in support of its position on summary judgment, any objections to the district court's consideration of such materials are deemed to have been waived").


We had a very quiet and eventful weekend in our house.
Halloween was a big hit in our house. The girls had one costume during the day, and another worn over a thick jogging suit to fetch candy. Zack and I handed out our candy at home.
I got new running shoes on Friday, which were a great deal (last pair of men's size 8.5 Progrid guide 5, which I got for $40 and they usually retain for $159)! Then on Saturday, we ran an errand at Wal-mart and picked up some 10lbs weights. Then Steve took his daughters out for lunch, while Zack and I hung around the house together. We played and did house work, until they returned. Then we watched Tangled as a family and had a lovely evening. We also learned this week that Zack likes to play in his baby play mat and that he can sit in his bumbo chair now. He just needs the couch or something behind him to rest his head on after a while. Finally on Sunday, Steve spent some alone time at chapters, and the girls and I watched Brave. Once Steve was home we headed to the park for about and hour to get some of their energy out.
The other exciting thing? It snowed this weekend. Saturday we woke up to the first snow of the season and our kids slept in until 7:30am on Sunday, and yes that would be the new day light savings 7:30am so really 8:30!
Like I said, a very eventful weekend.

The Best And Worst Technology Company Stocks In The First Half Of 2018
Twenty-eight of the 44 technology companies on our watch list recorded gains in the price of their publicly traded shares in the first half of 2018. Take a look at who were the winners and who were the losers.
By Rick Whiting September 03, 2018, 10:00 AM EDT
Back 1 ... 6 7 8 9
CEO: John Chen
Dec. 29, 2017 Close: $11.77
June 29, 2018 Close: $9.64
Change: -18.10%
On March 15 BlackBerry announced an agreement to extend CEO John Chen's contract through November 2023. Chen joined the company in November 2013 under a five-year contract that was set to expire this coming November.
The company noted that under Chen's leadership the mobile device maker has shed its hardware manufacturing business, returned to financial stability and made strategic investments in cybersecurity and embedded software – product areas that are the source of most of the company's growth today.
For its fiscal 2019 first quarter (ended May 31), BlackBerry reported revenue of $213 million, down more than 9 percent from $235 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. The company reported a $60 million loss for the quarter compared with net income of $671 million one year earlier – the latter largely due to a royalty dispute settlement with Qualcomm.
CEO: Greg Clark
June 29, 2018 Close: $20.65
In May Symantec began an internal investigation of the company's reporting of some non-GAAP financial measures, including those that could impact executive compensation programs. The investigation, triggered by concerns raised by a former employee, is also looking at commentary around historical financial results and stock trading plans.
While the investigation is under way the company has put all discretionary and performance-based compensation for executives on hold and has delayed filing its 10-K report for the financial results for its fiscal 2018 ended March 30.
In August, after the period covered by this analysis, activist investor Starboard Value disclosed that it had acquired a 5.8 percent stake in Symantec and had nominated five candidates for the company's board as part of its campaign to get Symantec to make operational changes and improve its profit margins.
CEO: Ed Meyercord
For its fiscal 2018 fourth quarter (ended June 30), Extreme Networks reported revenue of $278.3 million, up 56 percent from $178.9 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017. The company reported a $5.6 million loss for the quarter compared with net income of $13.2 million one year earlier.
For all of fiscal 2018 (ended June 30), Extreme Networks reported revenue of $983.1 million, up 62 percent from $607.1 million in fiscal 2017. The company reported a loss of $46.8 million compared with the $1.7 million loss in fiscal 2017.
CEO: Jamie Lerner
Dec. 29, 2017: $5.63
June 29, 2018: $2.22
On Jan. 11 Quantum disclosed that it had received a subpoena from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission regarding the company's accounting practices and internal controls relating to revenue recognition for transactions since April 1, 2016. The company's own internal audit committee began an investigation and on Feb. 8 the company postponed release of its fiscal 2018 third-quarter results while that investigation is under way.
Five days later the company named Patrick Dennis to be the company's new president and CEO, replacing Jon Gacek who left the company in November after disappointing fiscal 2018 second-quarter results. Dennis was previously president and CEO of Guidance Software, and before that held a number of strategy, sales, operations, engineering and services posts at EMC.
But in a shocker, Quantum announced on May 30 that Dennis was leaving "to focus on pressing family matters" and that CFO Fuad Ahmad, who held that post for two years, was no longer with the company. Michael Dodson was named CFO and interim CEO. Then, on June 26, the company said that former Cisco and Seagate executive
The company, meanwhile, has yet to release its financial results for fiscal 2018 (ended March 31) or for the quarters ended Dec. 31, 2017 and June 30, 2018. The company faced delisting on the New York Stock Exchange, but was recently given until Jan. 15, 2019, to file its earnings. The company's stock has remained on a downward trajectory from more than $8 per share on Aug. 1, 2017 to below $1.65 in early August, only recently rebounding above $2 per share.


What would you write on your cake today?
We had all the cake fixin's from when I was GOING to bake her a cake for her birthday in January, but she ended up staying up really late the night before or something, and I didn't have a chance to surprise her. I guess we ended up surprising ourselves with this frosting beast we ended up with!
I was responsible for the extra artistic pink blobs all around the edge. Then we wondered what to do with the rest of the pink frosting. I told her to draw something in the middle, like a heart, or write a word.
She ended up writing RAD.
So I hope y'all have a RAD WEEKEND. I'm taking Manda to her first ballet (Swan Lake) on Saturday night, which is her birthday present from me. What should we wear?!

KA's US history fellow Kim does a close reading of the Gettysburg Address.
KA's US history fellow Kim gives the context for the Gettysburg Address, delivered by Abraham Lincoln on November 19, 1863.
The words "Four score and seven years ago" are among the most famous in American history. But what do they mean? What was Abraham Lincoln trying to accomplish in his timeless Gettysburg Address? The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum explains the speech, separates myth from fact and looks at an original handwritten version in the latest "Lincoln 101" video. Whether you're a student doing research or just a fan of history, you'll learn something new and find out where to go for more detail.
This short video was taken near the spot where President Abraham Lincoln gave his famous "Gettysburg Address" speech It's at Soldiers' National Cemetery at Gettysburg National Military Park in Pennsylania, where more than 3,500 Union soldiers killed in the Battle of Gettysburg were buried. President Lincoln dedicated the ceremony on November 19, 1863, at which time he delivered his famous Gettysburg Address. There are now more than 6,000 veterans buried in the cemetery; they served bravely in the Civil War, Spanish-American War, World Wars 1 and II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War.
Here is our follow up video meant to explain the meaning of the Gettysburg Address to other students.
Some of you requested a lyric video for this so here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U76RuCYaUs8&feature=youtu.be The words: Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate, we can not consecrate, we can not hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. UNFORTUNATELY my camera is not working so I had to film this on my phone. Sorry for the poor quality!
The Gettysburg Address is a speech by U.S. President Abraham Lincoln and is one of the best-known speeches in United States history. It was delivered by Lincoln during the American Civil War, on the afternoon of Thursday, November 19, 1863, at the dedication of the Soldiers' National Cemetery in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, four and a half months after the Union armies defeated those of the Confederacy at the decisive Battle of Gettysburg.

The "Gettysburg Address" is one of the greatest speeches in history. In this lesson, which I designed for introductory college writing students, I explain the elements that make it a great speech, illustrating what Abraham Lincoln can teach us about effective writing, how to perform a critical analysis of a text, and how to assemble/outline a critical essay. Because I analyze the content and context of the speech, the lesson may also be useful for history, civics/government, and even philosophy teachers. I have had to retire on disability, and I have lost my public speaking abilities due to a vocal cord paralysis, so I am releasing this to the public.

It's Time for Millionaires to Contribute Their Fair Share to Social Security
Some of America's wealthiest recognize the inherent unfairness in the system.

Today is just another day for millionaires and billionaires, but for the rest of American's workers—it's significant. February 19th, 2020 marks the date when America's wealthiest stop paying into Social Security for the rest of the year. This is because Social Security payroll contributions are capped at $137,700 in annual wages, a ceiling the average millionaire hits on this very day. Everyone else keeps contributing to the program through December 31st.
"Normal Americans pay social security tax on every cent of income they earn throughout their entire lives, but millionaires like me pay it on just a fraction of our earnings."
A worker earning $50,000 contributes to Social Security all year, with an effective tax rate of 6.2 percent. However, an income earner making $1,000,000 stops paying Social Security taxes today. This person's effective tax rate would be just 0.8 percent. As the Center for Economic Policy Research pointed out, "The burden of Social Security taxes falls more heavily on those who make less."
Some of America's wealthiest recognize the inherent unfairness in the system. "Normal Americans pay social security tax on every cent of income they earn throughout their entire lives, but millionaires like me pay it on just a fraction of our earnings,"said Morris Pearl, Chair of the advocacy group Patriotic Millionaires.
In decades past, more than 90 percent of Americans fell below the wage cap. But thanks to growing income inequality, today only about 80 percent of people earn below the $137,700 limit. The erosion in covered earnings largely stems from the fact that wages for the highest paid workers have been rising faster than wages for the majority of people who make less than the cap. The cap simply has not kept pace with economic changes.
That leaves about $2 trillion in annual wages which are exempt from the Social Security payroll tax. At a time when Social Security's future finances need a fix, this represents an enormous amount of untapped revenue. If Congress takes no action, the Social Security trust fund will be exhausted in 2035, after which it still could pay 80% of benefits—but no one wants that outcome. We could go a long way toward closing the program's funding gap by adjusting the payroll wage cap so that the wealthy contribute their fair share.
"By raising the cap on payroll taxes, we can guarantee that millionaires pay the same rate as everyone else, and we can ensure that our seniors live and retire in dignity,"said Pearl.
In fact, there is legislation in Congress to make this very fix to Social Security and help ensure its future solvency. Senator Bernie Sanders' Social Security Expansion Act would subject earned income over $250,000 to the Social Security payroll tax. Congressman John Larson's Social Security 2100 Act would apply the payroll tax to wages above $400,000, then phase out the cap altogether. Both bills would modestly increase Social Security benefits and keep the program financially healthy for most of the rest of this century.
Surely that is a more economically sound solution than what so-called "entitlement reformers"propose—including raising the retirement age, adopting a less accurate cost-of-living adjustment formula, or slashing benefits in other ways.
Tomorrow's retirees—especially those on the lower rungs of the income ladder—will need every penny of their Social Security checks to stay out of poverty. Nearly half of today's beneficiaries rely on Social Security for all or most of their income. Future retirees won't be able to afford benefit cuts. Thanks to growing income inequality, wage stagnation and the disappearance of pensions, saving for retirement will become harder in the future, not easier.
Isn't it fairer to ask those on the opposite end of the income spectrum to contribute more? In exchange, they would receive higher benefits (subject, of course, to Social Security's progressive formula which replaces a higher percentage of income for lower wage earners).
By moving forward deliberately with common sense and compassion, perhaps some day we no longer will mark this day in mid-February that represents such a gross disparity in what working Americans and the wealthy contribute to Social Security.

Representations and warranties for existing but underutilized Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac guidelines came online Monday that will make it easier to get a mortgage to buy a home. The mortgage giants have a minimum credit score floor of 620 but most lenders have been reluctant to incorporate that standard in underwriting guidelines. As well, consideration is being given to lowering the minimum down payment from 5% to 3%, but no decision or announcement has been made. Obviously this would be great news for prospective homebuyers that do not have a lot of money to put down or may have some challenging credit history. This will of course add homebuyer candidates to the buyer pool and should create increased demand in the housing markets.
These expanded guidelines, if prudently applied, could add a layer to the mortgage and home buyer consumer market that is presently underserved.
That being said, if these new guidelines speak to your borrower profile, do not expect to just head over to your local mortgage lender and pick up a briefcase full of house buying cash.
How easy it will be to get conventional loans with 3% down payments and 620 credit scores is another issue. Mortgage lenders live in the cocoon of Qualified Mortgage protection and while this easing may in fact expand Ability-To-Repay parameters, a price will be paid to fortify these riskier loans. That price will take the form of higher risk based interest rates, more expensive PMI (mortgage insurance), increased reserve asset requirements, even tougher debt ratio standards. Easier is not a synonym for expanded and expanded is what is really happening to Fannie and Freddie guidelines.
The real bonus with these expanded guidelines is how conventional financing will be positioned for direct competition with FHA loans. FHA, HUD and the deficit black hole that is the Mutual Mortgage Insurance Fund are about to see demand for overpriced Mortgage Insurance Premiums plummet. FHA MIP has increased five times over the last three years and is now priced beyond the point where anybody at HUD can reasonably explain why. Add to this Cadillac mortgage insurance pricing the fact that there is no way to get rid of FHA MIP regardless of equity, and conventional financing becomes the ipso facto clearly more attractive alternative.
The math is pretty simple: FHA requires upfront MIP and conventional PMI does not. FHA MIP is more expensive than conventional PMI, and oh yeah, FHA MIP stays with the loan for the life of the loan regardless of equity, while conventional PMI allows for current appraisal supported equity of 22% to eliminate PMI. The choice is simple; no possibility of parole or parole.
Conventional loans are tougher on things like debt ratios (comparing monthly income to mortgage payments and recurring debts), but every FHA mortgage consumer should have their mortgage rep take a long and hard look at whether a conventional loan with a 3% down payment or a 620 credit score is a viable option.
I have been notoriously hard on HUD, the FHA, even Commissioner Galante about the consumer gouging nature of ever increasing FHA mortgage insurance premiums and the interestingly managed runaway deficit MMI Fund. Free market economics have a way of correcting and creating balance even in engineered market sectors. With expanded conventional mortgage financing in one corner and positioned directly against FHA mortgage financing, the current and only game in town in the opposing corner, FHA MIP may be market forced to competitive pricing. Otherwise, FHA mortgage business will fall victim to accelerating conventional originations and that MMI Fund deficit will collapse on itself. Watch.

Q: how to find element after some text with javascript? I have a HTML file with some text (like 'bla-bla') inside. I want to get a specific element (like <a href=...) after this text node.
How can I do that with pure JavaScript or jQuery?
example HTML:

  jdlgjalfad dfaldfdalf bla-bla fdfadf afd

...

  here

A: $('div:contains('bla-bla')).find('a')

will work in your example, but may not work for your real use-case. The :contains selector will find a div with some string in it, but you may need to use a regular expression to find the specific text you want if you need more context:
$('div').each(function(){
  if (/funky-regex/.test($(this).text())) {
    $(this).find('a').doSomethingHere();
  }
});

replacing doSomethingHere() with one or more jquery methods. The appropriate choice will depend on your specific use case.

A: You can use contains to find the elements that contain the selected text, then iterate over each, replacing the text with new text with the substitution based on your search string.  Be aware that contains will return a match even if the elements descendants contain the text so you should probably specify some element type if you have nested elements or filter based on whether the element has inner elements.
$('div:contains("bla-bla")').each( function() {
   var txt = $(this).text();
   var insert = 'bla-bla(link)';
   $(this).text( txt.replace( /bla-bla/g, insert ) );
});

or
$(':contains("bla-bla")')
    .filter( function() { return $(this).children().length == 0; } )
    .each( function() {
       var txt = $(this).text();
       var insert = 'bla-bla(link)';
       $(this).text( txt.replace( /bla-bla/g, insert ) );
});


Zangdok Palri Programme | Zangdok Palri Programme seeks to equip the population of Dzogchen, Kham, Tibet with the basic skills they need to be able to embrace all the benefits that modern life has to offer them while continuing to preserve their unique heritage and share it with a world where so many others have lost theirs.
The first project of the Zangdok Palri Programme has been the construction of a primary school and orphanage, launched at the request of the nomad population and inaugurated on July 2002.
The Zangdok Palri Institute is a resource center where traditional skills and modern technology come together to enrich the lives of today's young people.
