This experience opened her eyes to the clothing challenges and limitations people face while living with a physical disability.After years of creating these first custom pieces, Izzy realized that if her client had all these obstacles around clothing, there must be many others with the same issues. Izzy decided to hold a focus group meeting where other voices were heard around  the challenges, likes and dislikes around everyday clothing while living with a physical disability. With listening and learning, the seeds of creating a line of adaptive clothing were being planted.  After doing online research of the market, she saw that there was very little out there designed specifically for this demographic of people.  Most of what was available was for the elderly or for people living in long term care facilities. Clothing that was very dated in both design and fabric choice. Seeing this huge void in the market, Izzy saw this as an opportunity to create a line of clothes for people living with a disability, starting with modern wardrobe basics.   In June of 2009 IZ Adaptive was born.Izzy Camilleri was hailed a trail blazer pioneering the category of adaptive clothing in the form of fashionable, functional pieces. Her new and innovative work was called revolutionary. The path since that time has been long and hard, but Izzy kept it on life support, knowing the importance of what she was creating and how many lives IZ Adaptive positively affected. At the beginning of the pandemic, Izzy also created the first ‘Seamless Back Pant' which helps to reduce the risk of life threatening pressure sores.  This patented technology is the most important work Izzy has done throughout her long career. These pants have become an important staple in many of IZ Adaptives customer's wardrobes.Today, Izzy is seen as the Thought Leader in this space. IZ Adaptive has a global reach with its online store. Major media outlets have featured IZ, and museums have also displayed this work. Universities and colleges reach out as well to learn about this new and exciting category of clothing for their studies.IZ Adaptive continues to push boundaries, lead in innovation and is looking to the future with plans of big growth.  About The PulseOn The Pulse, host Joeita Gupta brings us closer to issues impacting the disability community across Canada.Joeita Gupta has nurtured a life-long dream to work in radio!

While it may be common knowledge for many that state attorneys general (State AGs) bring enforcement actions under state consumer protection laws, it is likely less well-known that the State AGs also serve a role under the Class Action Fairness Act (CAFA). State AGs typically receive notice through CAFA as “appropriate state officials” if the settlement proposed includes class members in their state. https://www.adlawaccess.com/2023/04/articles/state-ags-and-their-role-in-class-actions/ Paul Singer psinger@kelleydrye.com (202) 342-8672 www.kelleydrye.com/Our-People/Paul-L-Singer Abigail Stempson astempson@kelleydrye.com (202) 342-8678 www.kelleydrye.com/Our-People/Abigail-Stempson Beth Chun bchun@kelleydrye.com (202) 342-8671 www.kelleydrye.com/Our-People/Beth-Bolen-Chun Subscribe to the Ad Law Access blog - www.adlawaccess.com/subscribe/ Subscribe to the Ad Law News Newsletter - https://www.kelleydrye.com/News-Events/Publications/Newsletters/Ad-Law-News-and-Views?dlg=1 View the Advertising and Privacy Law Resource Center - https://www.kelleydrye.com/Advertising-and-Privacy-Law-Resource-Center Find all of our links here linktr.ee/KelleyDryeAdLaw Hosted by Simone Roach

Michelle and Karen love weddings, but that doesn't mean they didn't see the point of reevaluating the traditions and tropes of the typical, heteronormative, western wedding. We dive into the bridal, white wedding dress and the crushing pressures that the billion dollar wedding industry can impose upon women as they celebrate their nuptials. As authors of The New Wedding Book: A Guide to Ditching All the Rules, Michelle and Karen uncover the historical foundation of the traditional wedding gown (thank you Queen Victoria, but mostly Princess Grace and Princess Diana) in the hopes of supporting couples to make choices that align with their perspectives, values and forge new tradtions.

(see links below for helpful and informative resources) Checkout my music: https://open.spotify.com/artist/0PAboIHgGJdflUg4OvLCyS?si=HZOT50kXQiu6EFXudzr5qA I have been coming to terms with my coffee addiction over the past couple of months. Haven't been doing much about it, but I'm starting to accept it (lol). The thing is, I don't think caffeine is the worst drug out there, also if you use it effectively and moderately, it can be a great tool in my opinion. Caffeine has helped motivate me to get lots of things done at times, and can even give me an extra physical boost to get through a workout, although as someone with serious addictive tendencies, it can become destructive for me. I've surveyed lots of friends of mine about this. Some with addictive tendencies of there own and some without, and weirdly enough most people I come across don't report having the same effects as I do at all. Just 1 cup of black coffee for me can be enough to weaken my appetite, my sleep, and send uncomfortable levels of cortisol in my brain to where I become nervous and anxious for almost nothing. Then comes a crash. I started to look into some of the science on coffee addiction and found some very interesting things. Check out some of the links below to a few video resources I found very interesting, and listen on to hear more about the science and my own experience!

We are celebrating The Impact Farming Show's 3rd Anniversary.  To celebrate, we are counting down and rebroadcasting the TOP 5 episodes from season 3. This week we are excited to bring you the 5th highest listened to and watched episode, which was "Transition Planning, The Underlying Issues" w/Art Lange. This episode was originally aired on April 28, 2021.  With so much uncertainty over the past year and a half, farm transitioning is definitely a big subject that is needed to be talked about around the table right now.  We are grateful to have Art Lange join us in this episode, to help get the conversation rolling. In this week's episode, we speak to Art Lange about “The Underlying Issues” regarding transition planning. Are you ready for some real talk about why transition fails to get started? If so, you are in the right place. More often than not, it's not things like taxes and wills that cause the senior generation to stall and avoid the subject. It's rarely that. It's often all the stuff that we don't want to talk about…”The Underlying Issues,” and that is precisely what we are going to chat about today. In this episode, Tracy and Art discuss: They discuss the three biggest obstacles for founders. Are you not getting anywhere with the founders of your farm? It's likely one of these three reasons. They discuss what happens if a family starts doing transition planning, and then it goes downhill into arguments and ill will. What then? Art provides some great suggestions. Art shares how to deal with founders that refuse to discuss the subject. We chat briefly about the five triggers of transition planning and why it's critically important to plan before any of these triggers occur. Are you frustrated with the transition planning, or lack thereof, on your farm? If so, this episode is for you. Whether you are a farm founder or the next generation looking to take over the farm, this episode is for you. ...............................

In this episode, Tracy and Art discuss: They discuss the three biggest obstacles for founders. Are you not getting anywhere with the founders of your farm? It’s likely one of these three reasons. They discuss what happens if a family starts doing transition planning, and then it goes downhill into arguments and ill will. What then? Art provides some great suggestions. Art shares how to deal with founders that refuse to discuss the subject. We chat briefly about the five triggers of transition planning and why it’s critically important to plan before any of these triggers occur. Are you frustrated with the transition planning, or lack thereof, on your farm? If so, this episode is for you. Whether you are a farm founder or the next generation looking to take over the farm, this episode is for you. ...............................

O Café e a Lenda Etíope: Não existem registros oficiais sobre a origem do café.  Sabe-se, entretanto, que se trata de uma planta nativa das regiões altas da Etiópia (Cafa e Enária).Segundo uma das lendas, foi um pastor etíope, denominado Kaldi, quem percebeu que havia algo diferente nas plantas da região. Ele havia alimentado suas cabras com arbustos e folhagens que tinham um fruto amarelo-avermelhado e notou que os animais ficaram mais animados e com energia, a medida em que mastigavam os frutos.Nosso site: https://bgscast.webnode.com/Ajude a manter esse projeto: https://apoia.se/bgscast --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/bgscast/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/bgscast/support

On Thursday this week, CAFA, the Canadian Arts and Fashion Awards, will host their sixth annual red-carpet Awards Gala, a unique evening that unite Canadian talent and fashion leaders from all over the world.To highlight CAFA and its impact in the life of Canadian fashion talent, many of them women, we will be showcasing a series of interviews with CAFA nominees and award winners.To kick things off, Eva Hartling spoke with the one and only Judith Maria Bradley, who is nominated for Model of the Year at this year's Gala. Judith is 74, and as a member of the CAFA organizing committee recently told her, there has never been a nominee over the age of 30 in that category. What is also surprising is that Judith only recently started modelling, in her late 60s. But what is truly inspiring is Judith's absolute love for life. She believes that life is magic, and after speaking with her for this interview, we believe she herself is pure magic. She has never followed conventional rules, and the word conventional simply does not belong in her vocabulary. One could say models in their 60s and 70s are having a moment, with the likes of Linda Rodin and Iris Apfel in the ranks; and Judith is definitely part of that movement. She's appeared in magazines (in Canada, the US and Europe); ad campaigns (including being casted for an Adidas campaign) and is a street style star with an active social media presence. But her real accomplishment is in proving to the world, and to women everywhere, that being a woman after 40, 50 or 60 does not mean taking a backseat, and that a career — including one usually reserved to twenty-somethings — is possible for anyone who dreams it. Now if only we could have more Judiths in the world…This episode was recorded at Hoame, Toronto's leading meditation and wellness space.

Download the MP3 file of this posting. Saab v. Home Depot U.S.A., WL0249463601, No. 06-8014 (8th Cir. November 22, 2006) Automotive engineering versus mega home improvement? Nope, but this one might be just as interesting, in a perverse sort of way that only our brilliant CAFA aficionados would appreciate. The Eighth Circuit differentiates between traditional complete diversity jurisdiction and CAFA’s new minimal diversity jurisdiction in the context of appealing a remand related decision.The Eighth Circuit handed down a short opinion regarding the appeal provisions of CAFA and whether they are applicable to cases removed to federal court under traditional, complete diversity jurisdiction. This may be an important appellate court decision because it draws a distinction between complete diversity jurisdiction and minimal diversity jurisdiction under CAFA, where other courts have tended to blur this distinction, particularly in the context of jurisdictional burden of proof.  On November 22, 2006, United States Circuit Judge Bright, writing for the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals, handed down a short opinion regarding CAFA. The Judge did not state the facts of this case, filed in Missouri state court by David Saab on behalf of himself and others against Home Depot. We can only imagine that the plaintiff had some terrible experience with a Do It Yourself project.  The judge simply stated that Home Depot removed the class action to district court arguing that the parties were diverse and the amount in controversy exceeded $75,000.00. The removal notice listed traditional, complete diversity jurisdiction as the ground for removal under 28 U.S.C. § 1332(a). The district court agreed with Home Depot and denied Saab’s motion to remand the case back to Missouri state court. Saab petitioned the Eighth Circuit to accept his appeal pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1453(c)(1), enacted under CAFA. The Eighth Circuit determined, however, that CAFA’s appeal provision does not permit an appeal from the denial of a motion to remand when the class action has been removed to federal court on the basis of traditional, complete diversity jurisdiction under Section 1332(a).  Saab argued that CAFA’s § 1453 should be viewed expansively to give federal courts of appeal jurisdiction to review the grant or denial of a motion to remand in ANY class action. The Eighth Circuit stated that this argument does not differentiate between class actions removed pursuant to 1332(a) – complete diversity jurisdiction, or 1332(d) – CAFA’s minimal diversity jurisdiction. (Editors' Note:   The Eighth Circuit here differentiated between the provisions governing complete diversity jurisdiction and CAFA’s minimal diversity jurisdiction, whereas other courts of appeal have broadly applied Section 1332(a) jurisprudence and precedent to 1332(d) minimum jurisdiction questions under CAFA in a manner that the Editors believe leads to incorrect results since the objectives behind the two types of jurisdiction are opposite. The objective behind complete diversity jurisdiction is to limit access to the federal courts, and the objective behind minimal diversity jurisdiction is to expand access.)  Finally, the Eighth Circuit joined with the Fifth Circuit in Patterson v. Morris and Wallace v. Louisiana Citizens Property Insurance Corp., in its holding. (Editors' Note:  See the CAFA Law Blog analysis of Patterson posted on June 5, 2006 and the CAFA Law Blog analysis of Wallace posted on May 22, 2006). The court stated that it must limit § 1453(c)’s appellate review provisions to only those class actions brought under CAFA. According to the Court, that reading is consistent with the legislative history of CAFA, which includes the observation that “new sub-section 1453(c) provides discretionary appellate review of remand orders under this legislation, but also imposes time limits.” (emphasis in original). The Eighth Circuit then dismissed the plaintiff’s petition for permission to appeal.  No doubt that the plaintiff felt pretty lowe when his appeal was dismissed. 

Download the MP3 file of this posting. Blockbuster v. Galeno, 2006 WL 3775326, Docket No. 05-8019 (2d Cir. Dec. 26, 2006). On March 23, 2006, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit handed down a summary order remanding this case against Blockbuster back to state court, in order to meet CAFA’s 60 day time limit to render decision under 1453(c)(2). The summary order can be found at Galeno v. Blockbuster, Inc., 171 Fed. Appx. 904 (2d Cir. 2006). On December 26, 2006, Circuit Judge Cardamone, writing for the Second Circuit, handed down an opinion explaining its reasoning behind the summary order.The case was originally filed as a class action in New York State Supreme Court on February 15, 2005 by Michael L. Galeno and other Plaintiffs against Blockbuster regarding Blockbuster’s “No Late Fee” program. The plaintiffs alleged deceptive business practice under New York law along with unjust enrichment under common law. The court noted that Blockbuster’s conduct resulted in a suit being brought by 47 Attorneys General and the District of Columbia which resulted in settlement and closing of the program by March 15, 2005.  The no late fee program began on January 1, 2005, and it was widely advertised by Blockbuster.  Under the program, Blockbuster no longer charged customers late fees for keeping rented videos past their due date, but instead automatically converted the rental to a sale of the video on the eighth day past the video’s original due date. The customer was billed for the selling price of the video minus the initial rental fee already paid. If the customer returned the video within 30 days after the sale date, Blockbuster refunded the sales price minus a $1.25 restocking fee.  The complaint alleged that the advertising was deceptive because it omitted the material fact that customers would be charged a sale fee. Blockbuster included some information on its website, but allegedly did not make the details clear. Also, Blockbuster allegedly omitted pertinent details from its store signage and television advertising. The plaintiff alleged this advertising program violated New York General Business Law. The plaintiff claimed that there were thousands of members of the class with statutory damages of $50 dollars per customer.  Blockbuster removed the action to federal court on April 1, 2005 asserting diversity jurisdiction under both complete diversity and minimal diversity based on CAFA. The plaintiffs moved for remand on the ground that the federal court lacked jurisdiction because Blockbuster could not satisfy the CAFA amount in controversy of $5 million. Blockbuster filed under seal a declaration by its senior vice president and corporate controller, James Howell. The declaration described the total amount of restocking fees and converted sales incurred by New York customers from January 1, 2005 to May 19, 2005.  Blockbuster also asserted that CAFA changed the traditional rule applied in the complete diversity context, that the party seeking removal to federal court bears the burden of establishing jurisdiction, citing Yeroushalmi v. Blockbuster, Inc., No. 05-225, 2005 WL 2083008 (C.D. Cal. July 11, 2005) (implicitly overruled by Abrego v. Dow Chemical Company). (Editors' Note: See the CAFA Law Blog analysis of Yeroushalmi posted on November 28, 2005 and the CAFA Law Blog analysis of Abrego posted on May 25, 2006).  On July 13, 2005, the district court issued a brief order denying the motion to remand stating “I’m in substantial agreement with [the Yeroushalmi court].” The court did not, however, explain the basis on which it found subject matter jurisdiction.  The plaintiff filed a motion for permission to appeal the district court’s ruling, which the Second Circuit granted. The Second Circuit issued the summary order on March 23, 2006, and vacated and remanded the order of the district court with instructions that the district court explain its calculation of the reasonably probable damages.  On this appeal, the issue before the Second Circuit was which party bears the threshold burden of proof of demonstrating the existence of minimal diversity jurisdiction under CAFA upon removal.  (Editors' Note: To see the CAFA Law Blog view of the issues, see the law review article by CAFA Law Blog Editors Hunter Twiford, Anthony Rollo and John Rouse entitled “CAFA’s New ‘Minimal Diversity’ Standard For Interstate Class Actions Creates A Presumption That Jurisdiction Exists, With The Burden Of Proof Assigned To The Party Opposing Jurisdiction.”).  The court began by outlining CAFA’s new jurisdictional provisions. Next, the court turned to the case at hand to see if the requirements of CAFA were met, but paused first to discuss the burden of proof.  Naturally, the parties took separate sides as to the burden of proof question. Blockbuster pointed to CAFA’s legislative history for the answer. The appeals court stated that the district court was wrong in following the Yeroushalmi case. The Court also cited DiTolla v. Doral Dental, a prior ruling of the Second Circuit holding CAFA did not change the burden of proof. (Editors' Note:  See the CAFA Law Blog analysis of Doral Dental posted on December 28, 2006). The judge conceded that Congress displayed an aim in CAFA to broaden certain aspects of federal jurisdiction for interstate class actions, but that Congress also must have appreciated the law regarding removal as noted in Brill. (Editors' Note:  See the CAFA Law Blog analysis of Brill posted on November 2, 2005).  CAFA’s Senate Judiciary Committee Report was of minimal value to the Court because, it says, the Report was issued ten days after the enactment of CAFA. The court cited Abrego and Miedema for the propositions that Congress has to explicitly overrule precedent and committee reports cannot serve as an independent statutory source. (Editors' Note:  See the CAFA Law Blog analysis of Miedema posted on August 22, 2006.  See also the CAFA Law Blog critique of the Miedema decision posted on August 22, 2006).  The court followed Abrego, Evans, Brill [In that order, the Ninth, Eleventh and Seventh] noting that every circuit court that has considered the issue has reached the same conclusion. (Editors' Note:  See the CAFA Law Blog analysis of Evans posted on May 25, 2006 and the critique of Evans posted on May 26, 2006)] The Court did note that a plaintiff seeking remand bears the burden to show the applicability of CAFA’s abstention exceptions, once the threshold subject matter jurisdiction has been established. (Editors' Note: the court cited Hart, Frazier and Evans for this authority. See the CAFA Law Blog analysis of Hart posted on August 21, 2006 and the analysis of Frazier posted on August 17, 2006).  After the court’s review of the burden of proof standard, the court returned to determine if minimal diversity was met. The named plaintiff was a resident of New York along with thousands of New York customers identified in the complaint. Blockbuster is a citizen of Delaware and Texas. The court quickly determined the minimal diversity of citizenship requirement was met.  Next, as to the $5 million requirement, the Second Circuit determined that the district court had not made any findings and offered no explanation as to how it calculated the amount in controversy. Therefore, the Circuit Court could not properly review the district court’s ruling on the issue. The Second Circuit remanded for the district court to explain its calculation of damages.  (Editors' Note: For a critique of the Second Circuit’s ruling on the burden of proof issue, see our new analysis describing why the Editors believe that Blockbuster and other Courts’ reliance on the publication date of the Senate Judiciary Committee Report as a ground to discredit that Report leads to an incorrect conclusion.  Our new analysis will be posted tomorrow.  Tune in tomorrow.  Same Bat time.  Same Bat channel.) Don't forget.  Please be kind and rewind. 

Download the MP3 file of this posting. Lanier v. Norfolk Southern Corporation, 2006 WL 1878984, No. 1:05-3476-MBS (D.S.C. July 6, 2006) You could almost hear the district judge shout, "All aboard!"  The South Carolina District Court let the defendants ride the CAFA train into federal court, and then derailed the plaintiff’s case on a motion to dismiss, stopping only to address the burden of proof issue.  On July 6, 2006, United States District Judge Margaret B. Seymour issued an opinion and order not only retaining federal court jurisdiction under CAFA, but also dismissing the plaintiffs’ complaint.  The plaintiff filed the action in South Carolina state court on December 9, 2005 seeking to certify a class of individuals who were laid off or discharged from Avondale Mills facilities in Graniteville, South Carolina after a train derailment which released chlorine gas damaged the mill facility. The chlorine gas damaged the property and equipment, and it interrupted production capacity thereby causing a reduction in employment levels. The plaintiffs alleged that the defendants’ negligence resulted in the derailment, subsequent release of chlorine gas, the disruption of the facilities, and the reduction in work force.  The defendants removed the action to federal court pursuant to CAFA.  The plaintiff, wanting off of the train headed to federal court, responded with a motion to remand.  The defendants, wanting to punch the plaintiffs' ticket, also filed a motion to dismiss the plaintiffs' complaint.  Judge Seymour examined each motion in turn.  First, the remand motion focused solely on CAFA. The defendants argued that the burden of proof, under CAFA, shifts to the plaintiff to demonstrate that removal is improvident. The court disagreed and noted that the Seventh Circuit in Brill, the Ninth Circuit in Abrego and the Eleventh Circuit in Miedema had all rejected the argument.  Specifically, the court quoted Miedema for its proposition that “a committee report cannot serve as an independent statutory source having the force of law.” (Editors' Note:  See the CAFA Law Blog's analysis of Brill posted on November 2, 2005, the CAFA Law Blog analysis of Abrego posted on May 25, 2006, the CAFA Law Blog analysis and critique of Miedema posted on August 22, 2005, and a discussion and Law Review article by the Editors that disagrees with these holdings entitled “CAFA’s New Minimal Diversity Standard For Interstate Class Actions Creates A Presumption That Jurisdiction Exists, With The Burden Of Proof Assigned To The Party Opposing Jurisdiction” here).  The Court did find, however, that the defendants carried the burden noting that “once the proponent of jurisdiction has set out the amount in controversy, only a legal certainty that the judgment will be less forecloses federal jurisdiction.” The court also made short work of the minimal diversity requirement holding that the Plaintiff was from South Carolina and the defendants were Virginia corporations. The remand motion was denied. Thereafter, the court granted the defendants’ motion to dismiss on the ground that the plaintiff could not allege a cause of action for negligence on the basis of purely economic loss. The plaintiff was asserting the indirect damages from the train derailment as economic loss. The court held that there were policy reasons that limit tort liability for this exact type of indirect economic loss. Even though the federal court retained jurisdiction, in the same opinion it dismissed the case.
