Category: Term Sheets
Another Way VCs Outnegotiate Entrepreneurs
Jeff Bussgang from Flybridge has today's great VC post titled In VC deals, Price Doesn't Matter – But The "Promote" Does. While I personally dislike the phrase "promote" to describe the concept Jeff is describing (I think "founders post-deal ownership value" – or FPDOV – is a much better phrase, although I realize "promote" is catchier.)
If you are an entrepreneur negotiating a VC financing, you should read this post carefully. Jeff does an excellent job explaining one of the key ways that VCs outnegotiate entrepreneurs while making the entrepreneur feel good about the outcome.
Model Seed Documents – Direct From Techstars
Today, our friends at Techstars posted their model forms of seed financing documents.
Techstars worked with Brad, myself and very closely with Cooley Godward Kronish, LLP (and specifically Mike Platt) to put together a set of "Model Seed Funding Documents" that anyone can use.
There are five primary documents in the set:
Of course, these are just example documents so all legal disclaimers about usage apply (e.g. "do with them what you want, but we take no responsibility for your actions.") That said, I think these are a great starting point for anyone doing an early stage financing.
What Price Adjustments Do You See Prior To Closing In A Financing?
Q: Can you please explain what sort of adjustments you should expect to the price that a VC promises in a term sheet between the signing of the term sheet and signing of a final stock purchase agreement (SPA)?
A: (Jason) To answer your question, we first need to determine what the definition of "price" is.
I don't care what price per share I pay. It's an irrelevant number. What's relevant is the pre-money valuation. That, along with my investment will determine what percentage of the company that I own post investment. For more on this, see this prior post.
If the question is "how often do I see the pre-money valuation change from term sheet to SPA" that answer is almost never. Only in rare cases of something material happening to the company, I tend to think "a deal is a deal." If something that bad happens to warrant a price change, it's probably more likely that the entire deal falls apart.
The only other situation that could potentially change the valuation / price is if something is found in diligence that wasn't known to the VC at the time of term sheet. For instance, if founders have deferred salaries or have debt that need to be paid back and a large chunk on the financing is going to be immediately used, this too might change the economics.
If you define price as the "price per share" (not having anything to do with valuation), then I would tell you that I think EVERY deal that I've been involved with has had a price adjustment during this period. The price per share is based on the outstanding equity of the company and rarely does this get 100% figured out until right before closing.
Founders Termination Clause In Term Sheets?
Q: Thank you very much for your term sheet series. Not being that familiar with "specific" term sheets, I have heard something about VC terms that effectively allow the VC to fire the founder(s) and in the process relieve them of their shares since they had then left the company before liquidity. I have read a previous Ask the VC post about the 'moral' and 'reputation' reasons that VC's will not do this.
However I am more interested in the legal binds and would like to know if these sort of terms are something that is standard/negotiable in various term sheets.
A: (Jason). There is certainly nothing in a standard term sheet that specifically addresses this. I've seen founder / CEO termination clauses in term sheets that effectively say "if X, Y and Z doesn't happen, you are fired." I've always found these to be egregious and worse yet, sets up the VC and founder / CEO to be enemies, not collaborators trying to help the company be successful.
As for different mechanics that a VC might use to remove a founder / CEO / founders, etc.:
1. Board control – if the VC has board control, or the ability to elect a majority of the board, terminating founders and / or executives is fairly simple;
2. Voting rights – be careful that there aren't any non-standard control provisions in the voting rights that allow the VCs to vote people "off the island."
As far as acquiring the terminated party's shares, I've never seen a VC with a contractual right to be able to do this. I've seen some documents which gives the shares back to the company, but never the VC.
And shares going back to the company is rare as well, so long as we are talking shares that have vested under a option plan or are not subject to some sort of repurchase. Those shares should be free and clear the property of the terminated party.
Term Sheet Glossary
Gigaom's FoundRead has today's great post up titled F|R Crib Sheet: The Term Sheet Glossary guest written by Jay Parkhill. While you can always entertain yourself for hours with the Term Sheet Series that Jason and I wrote several years ago, sometimes a crib sheet will suffice.
Do Venture Capitalists Always Get Veto Rights On A Company Raising More Money?
Q: Is it customary for an equity investor to have a veto right over future investments that are at parity or senior to that series? Do you see it often? Do you ever see it limited by the percentage ownership (e.g. if the series becomes a less than 10% shareholder, the veto right goes away)?
A: (Jason) It is customary. In fact, most times the previous investor gets a veto right on all equity financings, senior or junior and in some cases even debt issuances. This is one of the "standard" terms that Brad and I blogged about in our term sheet series regarding the protective provisions section of financing documents. As for a limitation, yes, it's not unusual for the term to go away if X% of the preferred outstanding at the time the provision is adopted remains outstanding. What is X? I've seen anywhere from 25-75%. 50% seems to be non-controversial.
Note also that beside the veto right, the prior investors will also have a right of first refusal to participate in whatever financing you are contemplated. Here's our prior post on the subject. So while they can say "no" to a financing, they can also say "yes" and either participate or not.
None of this is "as bad as it sounds." Remember, the VCs are going to want money to come into the company, if appropriate. Without it, the company (and their investment) will not be worth much. When it typically gets to be a problem is when a company raises several different rounds of capital and each series of stock has a separate veto right, instead of an aggregate veto right across all preferred. There have been situations where a new / contemplated financing round is good for some of the prior investors and bad for others. In this case, separate veto rights can, indeed, cause a problem.
Term Sheet for an LLC vs. a Corporation
Q: We have an interested Angel for an investment in our startup LLC. We have a strong lawyer for support. We'd like to submit a draft Term Sheet to, as you say in your blog, "control the paper". Everything I find online about Angel Term Sheets contemplates shares, which presumes a corporation (vs. an LLC). We expect to give secondary (non-voting) membership as well as putting the investor on an Advisory Board. Can you point to resources that are more appropriate to an LLC structure?
A: (Brad) Your lawyer should be able to quickly crank this out. There's nothing special about it – just slightly different language given the notion of "members" vs. "shareholders" and the difference in how members rights are allocated / delineated. I don't know of any generic forms online, but if your lawyer doesn't have this in a boilerplate form, I'd recommend you revisit the notion that you have "a strong lawyer for support."
What are Supra Pro-Rata Rights?
Q: Can you explain what supra pro-rata is? It seems to be showing up in some VC term sheets now. What's the impact on the entrepreneur? How hard should one try to negotiate it out? If a VC insists on this term, should the entrepreneur walk away?
A: (Jason) First of all, for those of you who want a refresher on pro rata rights, see our prior post on it here. As for what is "supra pro-rata" it is a multiple of a 1X pro rata right. So, if I own 10% of the preferred, I normally will have the right to buy 10% of any future securities issued by the company. With a supra pro-rata right it is normally 1.5, 2 or 3X. In our example, a 2X supra pro rata right would allow me to buy 20% of the next round.
This isn't a very common term, unless you are dealing with very early / seed stage financings. You'll see in some cases where a VC seed funds a deal with a small amount of money. It is normally the intention of the VC to lead the first real venture round, but in order to protect itself (in case the entrepreneurs decide to take funding from someone else), the VC will ask for a supra pro rata right. Although the seed deal doesn't represent a lot of money, it does represent a lot of the VCs time, so they want to make sure that they can stay in the deal.
If your financing is a "regular" full blown round, then I would say this is a rare term.
As for my advice on "walking away," there are very few terms that I consider "walk" terms. If you need the money and don't have other options, get the money.
(Because I know that I'll get the question, if I was on the entrepreneur side, I'd walk from poor valuation, overly aggressive liquidation preferences, over bearing board and voting controls and VC board members who expect compensation to join your board).
Venture Capital / Lawyer Term Sheet Humor
Last week I attended a dinner put on by Ed Zimmerman and the fine folks at Lowenstein Sandler. Ed has been an active participant in the NVCA model documents initiative and I've gotten to know him through the years as someone who is passionate about what he does, which among other things, is law and collecting wine.
With all of the questions that we get regarding term sheets, I thought some of you might enjoy Ed's take on what makes the "perfect term sheet" which served doubly as our dinner menu the other evening.
Do Venture Capitalist Ever Use Their Redemption Rights?
Q: Have you experienced a company which grows along nicely, but does not offer a liquidity event? In the funding agreement, there is a clause for redemption rights. Is this used so that the VC can get out of the investment?
A: (Jason). Yes, we've experienced companies growing nicely without liquidity events. And yes, we usually request redemption rights in our deals. That being said, we've not exercised them.
(For a primer on redemption rights, see our prior post)
So why ask for them? Theoretically, one can come up with a situation where a fund is late in life (funds are usually 10-12 years in term), you have a nice company, but no liquidity. In this event, it's nice to have an "out" to get liquidity, or to have some leverage to have some control on the situation. That being said, redemption rights are pretty benign. They look scary, but I would hazard to guess that few VCs, if any, have ever actually used them.
I'd equate redemption rights similarly to registration rights: VCs rarely use them, but if you need them and didn't ask for them, you are a chump.

Regardless of how the case comes out, this week's indictment of a former powerful state senator's son-in-law was an important statement that no one is above the law.
And we are eager to see all the facts come out about a land deal that turned a $25,000 swamp into a taxpayer-bought $265,850 "wetlands" - and a $240,000 windfall for Donna and Ashby Krouse, daughter and son-in-law of former state Sen. Don Cheeks of Augusta.
Mr. Krouse, who also is facing potential action against his real estate appraiser's license, appears to have engineered the donation of the land near the Burke/Richmond County line from owner William Hatcher to the Hale House Foundation, an Augusta charity. The Krouses then bought the land from Hale House for $25,000 - and subsequently sold it to the state for $265,850 after Cheeks and his son-in-law met with a state Department of Transportation biologist.
There are so many questions yet unanswered.
Such as why Hale House never got the full benefit of the property that was donated to it - selling it to Krouse, an appraiser, for 10 percent of its apparent worth.
Such as why Krouse signed an affidavit declaring "no financial interest, either present or contemplated, in the opinion of value put on this property" - when it was reportedly his suggestion to Hatcher to donate it in the first place.
Such as how the valuation of the land by the government was appealed without Hatcher's permission.
And how the land became so much more valuable when in the hands of Cheeks' son-in-law.
The legality of it all is almost secondary to the ethics of it: A piece of land appears to have been laundered through a local charity and sold to the state at great profit by a relative of a then-member of the Senate Transportation and Appropriations committees.
At the very least, it appears Mr. Hatcher, Hale House Foundation and state taxpayers have been quite taken advantage of.
If this is not the case, we look forward to a very different story emerging from the courts.

I just got back from Cameroon, and oh my, what a trip! We went to host the Building Entrepreneurial Ecosystems in Africa Conference, which was a success and extensively commented on in the press, like in The Sun and the Cameroon Tribune:
Here with my co-hosts Monica McCoy and Natalie Nkembuh (the main brain behind the conference), as well as STEM power house and speaker Sophie Ngassa:
...but it was just a start... Even before the conference, my up-until-then virtual friend and power journalist Amy Banda made sure I had my voice heard in her radio show. And from then on, there was no stopping me. So many more amazing things happened in those 12 days!
Just two days later, I found myself teaching a workshop to a room full of power ladies, at an event pulled together by Santher Mbacham and her Imagenation Team, where I was honored to share the stage with Gladys Viban and Leila Kigha, two top names in the Cameroonian speaker scene. Amy Banda joined us as well, and Clovis Delaure volunteered to film the event. I was humbled by Santher's determination to make this event happen within just 3 weeks, and everyone's enthusiasm. That's what I call business spirit!
Meetings after meetings were on my calendar: ministries, schools, consultants, press... And one morning, when a business friend picked me up in his car for a business meeting, we got stuck in the mud of what was supposed to be a street but got turned into a fruit market -- a colorful medley of fruits, motorbikes and carts all mixed together. I was already picturing myself stepping out into the clay in my high heels and pushing the car, when a smart guy looking to make some profit from the situation guided us backward through the masses of people and fruits, frantically gesticulating all the way. Incredibly enough, we made it out of the muddy grounds without having to leave the car (although with our windshield covered in brown molasses)... Believe it or not, the below was our view from the car (as long as the windshield was still clear), even if it may seem like there was no space for a car.
Cameroonians are business people without excuses. They do business anywhere. They choose a spot and put up their shop, even in the middle of a street. Lesson learned: Don't let yourself be held back by seemingly impossible circumstances.
As part of my travel experience, I also learned to take and bargain fares for collective taxis in a city where I had no clue how to orient myself. Admittedly, I may have paid a bit more than the locals at times (I didn't even know in what direction I was going), but I got pretty good at making firm offers very soon. Great negotiation practice. And just when I was thinking, Cameroonians drive as if their vehicles were made of fabric, a car bumped into my taxi's non-existent rear bumper guard and five minutes later a motorbike rammed the left front part of our car. Although his car was actually made of metal, this didn't seem to disturb the driver; he was used to it and stayed calm... Another lesson I learned every day anew: stay calm and eat some fried plantains.
Then, one morning the phone rang, and four hours later, I found myself on the CRTV Midi Life show with Myra Nangeh, who made me dance to traditional Cameroonian music with live musicians. So much fun (especially for the audience)!
We also recorded a few more TV and radio interviews with Amy Banda and Suzanne Belle Essengue... airing soon.
When I left NYC with three suitcases on March 24 (one for clothes, one for my books and one carry-on), I thought I'd come back with one of them empty after leaving my books in Cameroon... But to my surprise, it was filled with gifts from my new Cameroonian friends: dresses, shoes, a handbag, books, jewelry, fabric... Oh wow! If Cameroonians were to win an award, they'd surely win it for their hospitality and generosity.
Apart from all these gifts, I also came back with a heart full of new friends, amazing memories and some future collaboration opportunities, feeling fulfilled and happy... and recharged for my activities here in New York and beyond.

Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens, in Washington, D.C., is full of beautiful blooming lotus flowers each summer. They have pond after pond of these amazing plants.
This year I tried to capture as many of the stages of the lotus flower as I could. Below are the results of my attempts, along with some examples from previous years.
Unopened Lotus Bud
The earliest stage of the lotus flower I captured is the unopened bud. In this example you can see some of the folded up petals already turning pink. It won't be long before this bud begins to open.
Newly Opened Lotus Flower
Finally, the bud has opened. Early morning light can work so well with these flowers, causing the petals to almost glow at times. You can still see green on the lower petals, which would have been the outer layer of the bud. I love the dark pink of the center since it's still mostly in shadow.
Blooming Lotus Flower
Now the lotus flower is blooming, almost fully open. The center is more open, less in shadow, but still a deeper pink than the outer petals. The out of focus green leaves of the lotus plant make beautiful backgrounds for the pink flowers.
Fully Open Lotus Flower
Lotus flowers can be so beautiful when fully open. This is one of my favorite photographs of a lotus flower, with a bumble bee flying in towards the center. This photo makes a beautiful print and can be purchased from my online store.
This lotus flower is fully open. In fact, it is at the later stages of being fully open, when it begins losing its petals. Notice the shape of the yellow center, with all the darker yellow dimples on the top. The seeds will form under these dimples.
It's a little later in the day now and there were very few clouds in the sky, so you can see shadows forming on the petals. They lose the ethereal glow seen on the earlier flowers which were created a little earlier, and possibly when the sun was behind a cloud.
Green (Unopened) Lotus Seed Pod
Now the petals of the lotus flower have fallen, leaving behind the central seed pod which has turned green. This one still has some of the hair-like portion that forms at the base of the center. I didn't notice until later there is an insect flying just under the seed pod on the left.
This photo shows a larger seed pod, later in its development. Behind it is the blurred pink of a still blooming lotus.
Opened Lotus Seed Pod
In this stage the center section will dry up and turn brown. That's beginning to happen in this photo, though the pod is still mostly green. Those dimples we saw on the top on the fully green seed pods have opened, revealing the seeds. The brown seed pods are sometimes used in flower arrangements.
Bonus: Lotus Flowers Dancing in the Wind
Finally, as an added bonus, here are a pair of lotus flowers dancing in the wind. As the day progressed the wind began to pick up, making it more and more difficult to photograph the lotus blossoms without motion blur.
So instead of getting aggravated, I decided to go with the flow and intentionally slowed my shutter speed to make the most of the motion blur caused by the wind. I certainly wouldn't consider this an award winning photograph, but it was fun creating. You never really know what you'll get when you try these sorts of experiments.
I hope you enjoyed this short exploration of the stages of a lotus flower blooming. If you'd like to see more photographs from Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens check out the following posts:

Hy guys!
Have been a long time, that I didn't publish one hack for frappe!
Right now, I'm publising an hack, that I was wishing make, have some years!, They are a syntax sugar for links, that respect the serialization process doc.as_dict() and doc.as_json(), and also mimic "Nullable Strings", (strings that may can be None)
There is the code: https://gist.github.com/MaxMorais/9ae255a7df742cff4d3adb58a0daea70
Of course it don't solve all situations, frappe doctype will continue treating links as strings, ERPNext doctypes also.
The advantage of this process, is speed up, the development process, preventing developers to write all the time:
if frappe.db.exists('DocType X', self.link_x):
x_doc = frappe.get_doc('DocType X', self.link_x)
self.something = x_doc.do_something()
While you can do:
self.something = self.link_x and self.link_x.do_something()
Note: This hack may cannot be usefull for NestedSet's due it still not lazy for now, so it will query all the tree.
One update, this is already lazyload

I've been a parent for just a little less than 3 years. In fact, Maddie will be 3 in 2 weeks. Aside from the fact that life moves much faster when you have kids, I don't claim to be an expert on parenting. I have, however, learned a few things from our girls, and I pass them along to you. Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below!
1. Never let anyone tell your kids that they can't laugh. Laughing is contagious. Laughing is always allowed, as long as you're not laughing at someone.
2. Let them dance. It's okay if they make noise - that's what little kids do. Life is too short not to break out in dance once in a while.
3. Little girls smile when you tell them they are beautiful.
4. Tutu's are magical. I don't know why, but anything can happen when you put on a tutu. (usually associated with #2).
5. Daughters want to do everything their mom does. Little sisters want to do everything their big sis does.
6. You're never too busy to put together a puzzle, or play with play-dough... never.
7. Someday, it won't be cool for them to give you a kiss. Take them for all they are worth while they last.
8. Being a parent is the greatest privilege anyone can have. There's nothing more important than this.

Karman Vortex Street
This tutorial will cover the basics of setting up and running the fluid problem of the flow past a sphere to generate a Karman vortex street. Files for running the case yourself can be found here: LOCI-STREAM RUN FILES.
The Karman vortex street is the laminar oscillation of vortices that is shown in the animation above. It is a fluid instability problem for viscous flows. The Strouhal number is a non-dimensional number that is used in when considering vortex induced vibrations. A Strouhal number of 0.2 corresponds to the formation of the steady shedding of vortices from the cylinder. This example sets up a flow condition such that the Strouhal number is around 0.2.
The flow is incompressible, viscous, and bounded within a sealed 2D box. A steady uniform flow moves across the cylinder.
ComputatIOnal Domain
The domain is a rectangular with a length of of 200 cm and a width of 100cm. The grid is a 3D extrusion of a 2D mesh with a single cell in the extruded direction.
To see the Loci-Stream control file click HERE.
Running the Code
Loci-Stream is an MPI based parallel code, so execution of the code is started with a call to mpirun. A template call is shown below where the terms in brackets(<>) are replaced by the specifics of your case.
mpirun -np <np> <path_to_stream_exec> --scheduleoutput -q solution <casename> <restart> > /dev/null >run.out 2>&1 &
For this example the call is:
mpirun -np 4 /home/user/Loci-Stream/bin/stream --scheduleoutput -q solution karman > /dev/null >run.out 2>&1 &
The 'extract' utility is used to view the results of a simulation. The simulation is viewed at the 500th time step. In the run directory extract the solution using: extract -vtk karman 500 P v . This will generate a solution directory with files in the Paraview VTK format which can be opened by Paraview. The case name is 'karman' and the timestep is '500', and the variables to extract are the pressure(P) and velocity(v). Below is a contour plot of the vorticity of the flow that was created using Paraview.
For users of Paraview who may want to reproduce this image, just apply the 'GradientOfUnstructuredDataSet' filter (Filter->GradientOfUnstructuredDataSet), enable the advanced options on the filter (click the little gear icon at the top right, and check the 'compute vorticity' box.

Having picked up a few more allies on their way to Castle Ravenloft, the party felt more energized than before about their chances of finally ridding themselves and this realm of one dreaded Vampire Lord named Count Strahd.
With thunder and lightning overhead, they once again made their way up a steep mountain path toward the castle battlements and gatehouse. Steep cliffs dropped away from them from either side giving way to vertigo if one looked over the side for very long.
The wind was fierce, and to make matters worse, what began as a dismal light rain became a torrid of water as they reached the entrance and courtyard of the immense Castle Ravenloft. There were no torches lit, that they could see. The only light came from frequent clashes of lightning bursting in the heavens all around them..
As they approached, a familiar fountain they had passed months ago and battled wights near had been filled in – its hidden stairs removed, the statue changed to that of a winged demon, though water still flowed out of it. Undeterred, Villa snuck up to the front double immense doors of the castle and made his way inside the front foyer.
The doors gave way to another small gatehouse of sorts revealing inner doors that snapped open as he and the others came forward. The entry hall beyond revealed four grand marble pillars and frescoes on the way depicting violent imagery. Statues of stone creatures surrounded the hall and torches were mysteriously lit here casting shadows everywhere.
But just as the remaining adventurers entered the halls, the stone statues cracked open showing their true nature – as Gargoyles!
Though greater in number, the gargoyles were no match for seasoned heroes of Barovia! The stone enemies flailed at them without mercy but not doing much in the way of hurting Fiolin and the others. Allura, sizing up the encroaching stone like creatures blasted them to near nothing will a well placed fireball – that shook the entry hall setting three of the creatures on fire! The fighter rushed ahead delivering massive blows obliterating two of the gargoyles – some not reacting fast enough, while Fiolin sends blast after blast of Eldritch arcane energy at them pushing them back against walls and crashing through adjoining doors.
Feeling more confident, the Ranger and others picked them off one by one in the confusion,. A wall of fire burned the remaining few forcing them to retreat to another hallway. But a sleetstorm and spikes awaited them, as they couldn't stand up long enough to get away, their own doomed sealed.
As the battle ended, the darkness crept back into the castle and storm outside raged on. After investigating a few rooms and corridors, the Lost made their way to a large darkened throne room.
A laugh greeted them as they realized who it was….Strahd himself!!

Here at Hemp World Store, we have built this site with one specific purpose in mind: to provide a dependable and trustworthy resource that catalogs the safest, most potent, and most effective CBD oils for sale on the market.
We are a team of biologists, teachers, and web designers with a vast collective experience in the cannabis marketplace. Over the last couple of years, however, one thing has become glaringly evident to all of us involved in the industry: it is becoming incredibly difficult for average customers like you to find good, safe, reliable CBD oil for sale online.
As such, we have combined our years of experience and collective knowledge to catalog what we believe to be the finest products currently available on the market. Each and every one of us uses CBD for some ailment or another almost every day of our lives, and we have firsthand experience with each brand reviewed (and trust us, we've tried A LOT of different CBD brands over the years…)
The brands that we feature and review here on our site are brands that – in our experience – have provided the best therapeutic effects and the best overall value for our money. Moreover, we have made sure that each and every company listed is operating under federal regulations that make their CBD oils safe and legal to use all over the country.
Trying to make sense out of all the "CBD terminology" out there in the market is incredibly frustrating – particularly for those of you who are totally new to the world of therapeutic cannabis. How is one able to tell the difference between a hemp oil and a CBD hemp oil? Or a CBD oil and a hempseed oil? Is there even any difference at all?
In short, many companies out there right now are advertising and selling "CBD hemp oils" that have been made from the seeds of the hemp plant. While these products can be advantageous on a nutritional level, the reality is that since they are pressed from seeds, they contain virtually zero therapeutic CBD.
"True" CBD oils, on the other hand – like the ones reviewed here on our site – are extracted from the leaves, flowers, stems, and stalk of plants that have been genetically bred to contain high amounts of active CBD.
As an unknowing customer, it can be virtually impossible to tell the difference between products that have been made from seeds, and products that have been made from actual, high-quality plant material. And considering that regulations on the industry are all but non-existent at the moment, there are virtually no standards in place to stop these "scam" companies from labeling their oils as "CBD," when in fact they contain practically none of the active compound.
Lastly, I think it's worth pointing out that here at Hemp World Store, we all have full-time jobs outside of the cannabis industry. As such, we are not in this to make money. Rather, we are in this to try and help/educate people like you so that you are able to make a safe, honest, and altogether productive selection when it comes to finding the right CBD oil for your needs.
Happy CBD shopping, and of course – feel free to get in touch with us if you have any questions at all about the products contained herein, or about hemp/CBD/cannabis in general!
(Be advised, however, that none of us are health professionals, and as such, we are unable to offer any advice on dosing, treatment plans, etc).
Hemp World Store, 2019

Atlanta IV Infiltration and Extravasation Lawyers
Have you experienced an IV infiltration or extravasation from a peripheral IV causing a severe wound? You've come to the right place. The lawyers at Davis Adams have developed an expertise in these cases and routinely deliver exceptional results for their clients. Indeed, our firm very likely handles more IV infiltration and extravasation cases than any other firm in Georgia. We know what to look for, and what to do when we find the information we need.
What are IV infiltrations and extravasations?
An IV infiltration occurs when fluid or medication given intravenously leaks into the surrounding tissue. Infiltration can be caused by improper placement or dislodgment of the catheter. An extravasation occurs when a vesicant, or a medication which burns or damages the skin and surrounding tissue, infiltrates through an IV.
What categories of medicines put patients at risk for extravasation injuries?
The following types of medications given through an IV may increase the risk of an extravasation:
- anticoagulants:
- antifibrinolytics:
- antiplatelets:
- vasodilators:
- hormone therapy:
- steroids;
- diuretics;
- antihistamines;
- analgesics; and
- IV antibiotics.
Extravasation injuries are relatively common, but can be catastrophic in terms of the damage done. This is especially true with pediatric patients, who are then forced to live with a serious injury, often with significant tissue damage and scarring. Sadly, extravasation injuries can almost always be prevented—but are not—by the proper placement and monitoring of IVs, including not delivering vesicant medications through peripheral IV lines, which is all too common—and negligent.
What specific medications can cause the most severe extravasation injuries?
Commonly used IV medications that present a heightened risk for extravasation injuries include:
- Vancomycin;
- Aciclovir;
- Gancicolvir;
- Gentamicin;
- Phenytoin;
- Amphotericin;
- Cefotaxime;
- Mycophenolate Mofetil ;
- Vasocompressive agents;
- Dobutamine;
- Dopamine;
- Epinephrine (adrenaline);
- Norepinephrine (noradrenaline);
- Vasopressin;
- Concentrated electrolyte solutions;
- Calcium chloride;
- Calcium gluconate 10%;
- Potassium chloride 7.45%;
- Sodium bicarbonate 4.2% & 8.4%;
- Sodium chloride 10% ;
- Cytotoxic agents;
- Busulphan;
- Actinomycin-D;
- Daunorubicin;
- Doxorubicin;
- Epirubicin;
- Idarubicin;
- Mitomycin;
- Paclitaxel;
- Treosulfan;
- Vinblastine;
- Vincristine;
- Vinorelbine;
- Hyperosmolar agents;
- Total parenteral nutrition;
- >10% dextrose;
- Mannitol 15%;
- Radiographic contrast media;
- Promethazine (Phenergan);
- Diazepam; and
- Digoxin
If you have suffered an injury as a result of an IV infiltration or extravasation, there's no more qualified firm to trust with your case than Davis Adams.
What is the statute of limitation for IV infiltration and extravasation?
Generally, the statute of limitation for IV infiltration and extravasation in Georgia is two years from the date of the negligent care. For children, the statute of limitation is typically tolled (or paused) until the child's 5th birthday, which means that the statute runs (or expires) on the child's 7th birthday.
However, certain circumstances can extend the statute of limitation (for example, when a doctor conceals negligent care that's later discovered). Other scenarios can involve shorter time periods within which a case must be pursued (for example, when the negligent provider is employed by a government entity, which can trigger claim notification deadlines as short as six months from the date of the negligent care). Further, some specific types of malpractice, such as when a foreign object is left inside a patient after a surgery, have unique statutes of limitation (for foreign objects, it's one year from the date the object is discovered).
And to make matters more confusing, medical malpractice cases, including IV infiltration and extravasation, are also subject to a five-year statute of repose. This is intended to be a "final deadline," beyond which a medical malpractice claim cannot be filed for any reason. But it doesn't always work that way; their are some exceptions.
So, the best answer: it depends. And our best guidance: don't try to determine the statute of limitation on your own; contact us and we'll be more than happy to collect and analyze the facts needed to provide you with the correct answer.
Read what one IV infiltration and extravasation client has to say.
"I was admitted to my local hospital for chest pain, but I was discharged with a burned and disfigured arm from an IV extravasation. I was pleased to find that the best IV malpractice attorneys anywhere are right here in Atlanta. Excellent lawyers."
K.E. of Stone Mountain, GA
Our medical malpractice lawyers are IV infiltration and extravasation experts.
Tens of millions of dollars in verdicts and settlements validate our commitment to doing medical malpractice litigation—and doing it better than any other law firm. We are immersed in medical negligence litigation every day, quickly spotting trends in IV use as they develop, pioneering new legal strategies and tactics to combat the ever-changing insurance defense industry, and constantly discussing our clients' cases with leading medical experts around the country. We are always honing our skills as IV infiltration and extravasation attorneys. Nobody does it better.
Our reputation for handling IV infiltration and extravasation cases adds value to your case.
Insurance company lawyers who defend healthcare providers know us. In fact, most all of the major players in the insurance defense industry in Georgia know who we are, and what we're capable of doing in a courtroom. They know about our results, because they have seen us in action. And they know that when we pursue a case, we will never settle for anything less than fair treatment for our client in the form of full financial compensation. Choosing Davis Adams means leveraging our years of experience, and our reputation for excellence, to help maximize your recovery.
Having an experienced IV infiltration and extravasation lawyer matters.
Jess Davis and Chad Adams cut their teeth handling the most complex, high-stakes medical malpractice cases, typically regarded as among the most complicated of all personal injury matters. Routinely getting extraordinary results for their clients in cases other medical malpractice lawyers were turning down, they quickly became the "go-to" attorneys to whom other Georgia lawyers refer tough cases.
How does this tangibly help our clients? We have the unique ability to quickly read and digest volumes of medical records, to pick up the telephone and speak confidently to our clients' treating physicians about their diagnoses and prognoses, and to instantly reach the top medical experts at the best hospitals and universities in the world to consult on our clients' cases. This rare expertise is a game changer for our IV infiltration and extravasation clients, and sets us apart from other personal injury firms who merely dabble in medical negligence cases without really knowing what they're doing.
We can handle your infiltration and extravasation malpractice case wherever you live.
Davis Adams is headquartered in metro Atlanta, but our reach is statewide. We routinely represent Georgia medical malpractice victims, including those harmed by IV infiltration and extravasation, in all parts of Georgia, including Macon, Savannah, Columbus, and Albany. Indeed, our geographic reach is evidenced by the fact that our firm's largest settlement ($17,000,000) came in Fulton County, while our largest verdict ($10,000,000) came in rural Jefferson County. So, wherever you reside in Georgia, selecting the best lawyer is more important than hiring the closest lawyer. As a client, you have just one opportunity to obtain justice, and we are always honored when that chance it entrusted to us, wherever you happen to be located.
How much is my IV infiltration and extravasation case worth?
Most people who contact our firm do so reluctantly. They aren't excited about the possibility of having to sue an medical professional for malpractice, and they understand that money won't solve all of their problems—and certainly can't heal their injury. But financial compensation is the only remedy available through the civil justice system; it's the only form of justice the law allows under these circumstances. We can only provide our clients with guidance as to the fair value of their cases after the case has been fully investigated. The factors we will consider include:
Economic damages, including:
- past medical bills;
- future/projected medical expenses, including life-care plans;
- past lost income; and
- future lost income.
Non-economic damages, including:
- physical pain and suffering;
- mental or emotional pain and suffering;
- loss of consortium (companionship); and
- the full value of a life (in wrongful death cases).
Often IV infiltration and extravasation cases in Georgia are settled at mediation, which allows our clients to avoid the risk and emotional toll associated with trial, and to end their case with certainty. Other times, mediation is unsuccessful, and we proceed to trial and ask a jury to determine our client's compensation. A significant percentage of our $75 million in recovered funds for our clients is the result of trial verdicts, meaning that the attorneys hired to defend negligent parties know we are fully prepared to meet them in a courtroom if the case cannot otherwise be resolved to our clients' satisfaction.
Fewer cases, more personal attention, better results.
Davis Adams declines to accept the vast majority of cases presented to our firm. The fit has to be just right: the right client with the right type of case, where we feel like our firm can have the maximum positive impact. And while it may seem counterintuitive to turn down revenue-generating business, we are committed to doing outstanding, hands-on work for a limited number of catastrophically injured clients instead of employing a team of less experienced associate attorneys to churn through a high-volume workload.
We simply refuse to become one of those law firms at which the experienced trial lawyers only get involved in the later stages of the case, if at all. From day one, our clients have the collective time, attention, energy, and experience of the seasoned medical malpractice attorneys who will be handling their case at trial, which translates to better representation, and better financial recoveries.
Other lawyers often ask, "Wouldn't it just be easier to hire some young associate attorneys to handle the unimportant parts of your cases?" That question represents a fundamental misunderstanding of how medical malpractice cases are won or lost, and emphasizes the importance of hiring an experienced medical negligence attorney. There are no unimportant tasks in the cases we handle; victory is always in the details and is never achieved at the maximum level without bringing to bear the full weight of our firm's substantial experience, dogged determination and blatant refusal to settle for less than our clients deserve.
We do not accept any payment for our work on your infiltration and extravasation malpractice case unless you win.
Davis Adams only represents IV infiltration and extravasation malpractice victims on a contingency basis, which means that if we do not recover money for our clients, we refuse to accept payment for our services, or even reimbursement for the money we've spent. Additionally, our contingency fee, while reflective of our firm's quality and success, is nonetheless lower than the fee charged by some firms.

On September 19, a high-level delegation of Missouri leaders visited Virgin Hyperloop One's Devloop, the only fully-functioning, full scale hyperloop system in the world. The delegation received a VIP tour of the test facility, led by Virgin Hyperloop One's Chief Engineer Rob Ferber and joined by their Chief Financial Officer Axel Martinez and Vice President of Global Projects Dan Katz. Missouri brought one of the highest-level multi-sector delegations to visit the test track - representing the strong statewide effort being put forth to attract Hyperloop investment to Missouri.
"Missouri is a top contender for the world's first hyperloop. The state has one of the most favorable regulatory and cost environments, and I am impressed by the breadth of engagement we are seeing from both the public and private sector to move this project forward. We look forward to releasing results from the feasibility study in October, which will further highlight how this technology can support local business across the state," said Axel Martinez, Chief Financial Officer at Virgin Hyperloop One.
Among the Missouri delegation attendees were:
Patrick McKenna, Executive Director of MODOT, was expected to attend but had a last-minute conflict.
According to Andrew Smith, VP of Entrepreneurship and Innovation at the St. Louis Regional Chamber and co-founder of the Missouri Hyperloop Coalition, the Missouri delegation took 5 key takeaways from the visit:
"Missouri has an opportunity to be at the leading edge of some of the most advanced transportation technology being discussed anywhere in the world today," said Rob Dixon, Missouri Department of Economic Development. "Innovative thinking like this has been a part of Missouri's story throughout our history, and it should be a part of our future."
Aside from inspecting the technology and learning more about the company's commercialization plans, the delegation also had the opportunity to "pitch" Virgin Hyperloop One on economic development opportunities that would potentially lead to significant capital investment and job creation in Missouri. The attractiveness of Missouri's University system, the strength of its advanced manufacturing/aerospace workforce, and the creativity of its economic development approach were all noted by executives from Virgin Hyperloop One.
"Fundamentally, building big projects in the U.S. requires big thinking at the local level, which is exactly what we are seeing in the State of Missouri. A unified economic development mega-region consisting of Kansas City, Columbia, and St. Louis would combine the economic power of the state's two largest metro areas and the university into an economic powerhouse of five million residents, right in the Heartland of the U.S.," said Dan Katz, Director of Global Public Policy and North American Projects at Virgin Hyperloop One.
"Missouri is taking bold steps into the 21st century with a new tax policy, a modernized utility grid, an increased focus on workforce development, and some of our nation's best universities. This, along with the option to connect Kansas City to St. Louis via Hyperloop One, makes us the perfect location for this transformative opportunity."
"Hyperloop through Missouri will be a paradigm shift in what we know about transportation. As Missouri's public research institution, we are excited about contributing to this monumental effort," said Mon Choi, president of the University of Missouri System.

Bonita Purtill had a prior conviction for impaired driving. Sadly that conviction did not fully deter her. On Thanksgiving day 2008, while impaired, she slammed her truck into another vehicle, killing a 5 month-old child inside and breaking the back of the mother. Purtill later refused to provide a sample of her breath.
Purtill was ultimately convicted of criminal negligence causing death, impaired causing death and refusal to provide a breath sample. The trial judge imposed a sentence of 6 years for the criminal negligence offence and impaired driving and 1 year consecutive for the refusal. Purtill appealed: 2013 ONCA 692.
In recent years the Ontario Court of Appeal has made clear that this type of offence has proven intractable and that increased sentences are not only warranted but necessary to send a strong message of deterrence and denunciation: R v Kummer, 2011 ONCA 39; R v Junkert, 2010 ONCA 549 - something I discussed in a recent blog: Fighting an Intractable Problem?
In response to the appeal in Purtill, the Court of Appeal reiterated this message and added a helpful point regarding the consecutive sentence for the refusal charge:
There is no fixed upper limit for criminal negligence causing death or impaired driving causing death. The facts of the case must govern...In this appeal, a five-month-old baby was killed and his mother's back was broken as a result of the appellant's offences. While the appellant showed remorse, she had a prior, albeit dated, criminal record for impaired driving. Furthermore, there was no error in the sentencing judge's imposition of a consecutive sentence for the offence of refusal to provide a breath sample. Counsel acknowledges that a consecutive sentence for this offence was appropriate. The seven year sentence was not unduly long or harsh in the circumstances and we are satisfied that the sentence does not offend the totality principle [para 4].
Given that an offence of refusal knowing death was caused (or bodily harm and death ensued) is now available, the guidance about the consecutive nature of that offence is notable. The battle with this intractable offence will undoubtedly continue; hopefully all courts will take note.

It was 15th January, the Indian Army Day. Since it was Sunday morning, I was little easy on the daily work. I started going through my Facebook posts. All the Facebook groups, communities, and pages were pouring their greetings to the soldiers. I was browsing through plenty of them and oh dear! I was awestruck to see an image that I had clicked under someone else's post!
I remember, last year I had written a post on how it was my life being an army wife. I had described my personal experience as being one. I was looking for some relevant images which could add value to my article.
I had clicked this picture when Arun was getting ready for the office. The morning light was just perfect and his actions too. I caught the moment in camera. I wrote the post, added this image, and published it.
It was something I had created. I had applied the best of my knowledge and skills of handling the camera and editing the image. And now about seven months later I saw this image being reused by someone, who did not have a courtesy to take permission, or give due credits to me while using it against his/her own post. I was little restless. 😦 Since it happened on Facebook, I contacted the Facebook team for help. Within a couple of hours, Facebook removed the post from the timeline of that community where the image was reused, and sent me a confirmatory e-Mail.
It was the case of Plagiarism, the term they frequently use in the field of creativity, designing, writing, and academics.
What is Plagiarism?
It is the activity of using or copying the Intellectual Property of a creator without taking the creator's permission or acknowledging the creator's work, and presenting it as one's own.
What is Intellectual Property (IP)?
It is the property resulted out of human intellect and/or creativity. Intellectual property includes the following pieces of work:
- Ideas, inventions, written thoughts, and patents
- Books, quotes, articles, columns, and paragraphs
- Pieces of translations into other languages
- Novels for screenplays and movies
- Recordings of music composition, narration, addresses
- Architectural, industrial, commercial, or engineering designs
- Pictures created using software, or captured by digital devices or analog cameras
- Artworks such as sketches, paintings, and sculptures
- Software code
Intellectual properties are protected under Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) to ensure creator's rights on his own property.
Why do People Plagiarize?
There are various reasons to why people plagiarize:
- Lack of Knowledge – Some people do not know, what plagiarism is. They do it unknowingly. In such case, it can be said that it is an innocent or accidental plagiarism.
- Lack of Creativity – Not everyone is creative enough to generate own ideas. Some people need to borrow others' pieces of work or take inspiration from others' creations.
- Laziness – Some people are lazy. They find it easy to open a search engine, take the most appropriate piece of work, paste it in their own work, and present it as theirs. According to them, who will invest time and efforts in studying the topic or thinking out of the box? 😀
- Carelessness – Some people absolutely know what plagiarism is, but they don't have hearts broad enough to acknowledge the creativity of the original creator. Or they are not bothered to acknowledge others' work when they copied. It is called intentional or deliberate plagiarism.
How can I Detect Plagiarism?
There are various online tools available to detect plagiarism. They require you to submit a piece of text or the entire written work and produce a report. They are very helpful for educators, teachers, journalists, and the organizations working in the domains of publishing, e-learning, and web content development. Some plagiarism checking tools are free and the others are paid. Whatever tool you select to use, it is worth it.
Why Plagiarism is not a Good Practice?
It is very easy to get into plagiarism these days due to availability of enormous information on Internet that the powerful search engines bring up in milliseconds. But falling prey to plagiarism is not a good. Plagiarism is associated to academic dishonesty. The plagiarizer knows deep in his mind that it is not his own creation. It limits his creativity as well as questions his credibility, annoys the original creator, and deceives the consumer.
Plagiarism has its own legal consequences. The results of plagiarism can range from having to pay a monetary fine to a period of imprisonment. Either or both of the results can destroy a plagiarist's professional reputation.
Plagiarism might save one's efforts and time but it cannot save one's skin. After all, it is stealing. It is better to not to participate in this unethical activity of stealing others' creations.

Volcano Hopping in Central America
I live and die by television shows and movies. I'm not above just randomly interjecting Arrested Development quotes throughout my day and I lived vicariously through LOST for six years. So much so that every day I went to the beach in Costa Rica, I tried to snap a photo of airplanes as they turned inland, with the green rolling hills and Pacific Ocean as the backdrop; only so I could tweet the photo with a caption that read: "Previously on LOST." Unfortunately, I never captured that moment. However, it's the natural disaster movies that really mess me up. As cheesy and unbelievable as they may be, there's a small part of me that inwardly believes that parts of it could actually happen. It's for that reason that movies like Volcano and Dante's Peak naturally inflated my expectations when I set off to see my first volcanoes in Central America. As moving as my first experiences were, they didn't include molten rocks rolling down the mountain or lava fountains gushing above the surface. Nonetheless, I hope this guides you on your next trip to Central America.
Arenal Volcano
The volcano of all volcanoes in Central America. Right? As one of the most active volcanoes in the world, I had high expectations for Costa Rica's Arenal Volcano. While it's still regarded as an active volcano, Arenal has been rather quiet over the last year, showing few signs of volcanic activity. Even so, since it's an active volcano, nearby hiking trails can only get you so far. The day I visited was a cloudy day, so visibility wasn't particularly good. I would recommend making a weekend of it and adding a trip to another nearby volcano, Chato, which includes trails to La Fortuna Waterfall, where lava originally flowed from Chato.
Mombacho Volcano
Mombacho Volcano is one of Central America's most notable volcanoes because you can see it from some of Nicaragua's top destinations, including Granada and Lake Nicaragua. It's an active volcano, although it hasn't erupted in several hundred years. The top portion of the volcano is a cloud forest, which is rare among volcanoes, and features diverse animal and plant life. Mombacho Volcano is characterized by several different craters, of which most of them are accessible by hiking trails. I, however, enjoyed the views from nearby Lake Nicaragua aboard a boat.
Masaya Volcano
Nicaragua's Masaya Volcano...well, let's just say I had the smallest expectations of all the volcanoes I visited. It didn't quite have the same presence as Mombacho and Arenal, which were easily viewable from many miles away. As we weaved in and out of curves through the national park, I moved from window to window, like a little kid, peaking out to see if I could get a glimpse; only to get near the top and respond with: "This is it?" However, as I walked to the rim of the crater to see it for myself and then heard the stories of eruptions from my tour guide, Marvin, I quickly became much more impressed. Masaya actually became my favorite Central America volcano. There was just something impressive about standing on top of volcanic rock and looking down inside the crater with smoke and gases rising above. So impressive in fact, that after a half-hour, the smoke and gases of the volcano were irritating my nose and eyes and it was time to head on to the next volcano. Before leaving, Marvin told me that at night you can often look down into the volcano and see small pools of flowing lava.
Apoyo Lagoon
Yes, I know that Apoyo Lagoon isn't an actual volcano, but, it was formed as a result of a volcanic explosion, which is even more extraordinary when you see the view overlooking it. Of the three months of traveling around Central America, this was the best view: Standing at the top of the village of Catarina, overlooking Apoyo lagoon with Lake Nicaragua just beyond. That says a lot, being it was the cloudiest day I had in Central America. I even had a mariachi band serenading me while I was taking photos. I haven't come across the perfect view yet during my travels, but throw in a sweet belle, clear skies, and a sunset and then Apoyo Lagoon may have just been the closest thing to that perfect view.
All in all, my experiences at the volcanoes in Central America were great, even if it was cloudy. While I didn't get to see hot, bright orange lava flowing by, it was a humbling experience to be in the presence of such beautiful, yet powerful parts of nature. While many of Central America's volcanoes are accessible independently, I appreciated having a guide who took us to some of the best trails and views and gave relevant background information that enhanced the trip.
Have you ever been to a volcano?

Oh, Romeo and Juliet. No, this post doesn't have anything to do with Shakespeare. I can't stand trying to read what that guy wrote.
But it is about names. Or trying to figure out one name. Let me explain:
Earlier this afternoon, Daven was taking a bath. He thinks that it is hilarious to stand up and make a fountain in the tub.
Do you see where this is going yet?
He seemed to be deep in thought, standing up, looking down; sitting down and looking and then standing up again. After a minute or two of this, he looked at me and said, "Mommy, no peeing coming out of this thing."
That thing. Yes, he was talking about that thing. He was holding onto it, confused as to why he couldn't pee. He didn't understand that it was because he had just gone 5 minutes ago.
I tried not to laugh, but was unable to tell him what to call it. I'm guessing we should call it by the medical term, right? I don't want to give it a silly name, but at the same time I don't want him shouting out the P-word everywhere we go either. Then again, kids do say the darnest things and I'm aware that we will have our fair share of embarrassing moments in front of the public eye.
Do you have any advice or experiences to share?

It was originally a military part made in 1959 completely from scratch. It was the first Honeywell Aerospace Turboprop Engine, but the series has now expanded to 18 different engine models with 106 different configurations. Their engines have completed a total of 122 million flight hours combined with their 13,000 engine that have been sold since they opened. It remains one of the most reliable engines today. Few aircraft or engines can say they have been at the top of the market for as long as the Garrett/ Honeywell TPE331.
In 1964 the Garrett AiResearch TPE331 took its first trip on a fixed-wing aircraft in April. Specifically, the Beech C-45 which was a military aircraft. In the same year, it was named the fastest turboprop airplane engine of its time and was first recognized by the FAA in 1965. The T76, a military version of the TPE331, was heavily used during the Vietnam War and became the turning point for Garrett AiResearch engines. Back in 1985, there was a merger with Honeywell Aerospace, resulting in the engines becoming a Honeywell part. In the U.K. these engines are still used by the Royal Air Force, and for military training.
Today these engines are still being used to boost power and performance of their aircrafts. Honeywell plans to re-engine planes with these TPE331 engines allowing them to have a longer lifespan. The TPE331-12B will be used as the backbone of India's new military training. Honeywell Aerospace is in contact with manufacturers around the world to ensure that the TPE331 is continuously meeting their needs and remaining reliable for everyone.
