KhepriCoat is an anti-reflective coating developed by DSM that significantly increases the transmission of light through solar cover glass, boosting the efficiency and output of solar modules. It works by forming nano-pores within the coating through a unique process of "turning solid particles into pores". KhepriCoat can increase light transmission by up to 3% per side coated and module efficiency by 4-8%, outperforming other AR coatings on the market. It is also highly durable and resistant to weathering.Application of value engineering in construction

Restrictive interpretation is油the process of determining the meaning of something
Interpretation is limited by certain rules or principles, and cannot be expanded beyond them
Avoids any broad or extended meanings
Restrictive construction refers to interpreting a legal text strictly and narrowly, limiting its meaning to what is explicitly stated, without assuming any implied meanings
Commonly applied in penal statutes, tax laws, and constitutional provisions to prevent judicial overreach. Concerns about judicial overreach when laws are interpreted broadly.
Challenges in statutory clarity, leading to debates on legislative intent.

As a trial lawyer, what do you really need in order to win your case? Attention the jurys attention. I dont mean that in the narcissistic everyone look at me sense. When I say every trial lawyer wants more attention, what I mean is that before you can build a rapport with the jury and earn their trust, you have to fight a war the war for the jurys attention. Attention and connection are the key elements needed to win the minds and hearts of the jury.
Like it or not, we are in the midst of an attention war. We need to confront the reality that the jurys attention can no longer be taken for granted. We have to change our way of thinking to focus on gaining attention before we can leave lasting impressions. The jurys attention must be the currency that every trial lawyer trades in. In this presentation, I will talk about how storytelling can help lawyers to cut through all of the noise and distractions of everyday life in order to connect to the jury on a human level.J.

Echoes of Justice: Harnessing Movement Psychology and Vocal Dynamics for Effe...Michael DeBlis III, Esq., LLM
油
Movement psychology is a branch of psychology that emerged in the early twentieth century
with the research of the Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung. The work was further developed by
Rudolph Laban, the architect of European Contemporary dance, and completed by a Swiss
dancer and actor named Yat Malmgren in the middle of the twentieth century.
Yat recognized that this would be a powerful tool for actors and went on to complete Labans
theory. He extended Labans ideas by creating a psychological typology which brings together
Laban and Stanislavsky. Inner motivation and outer expression are linked together leading to
The detailed and accurate construction of character.
Yat taught this work to scores of acting students at the Drama Center in London. His students
included Anthony Hopkins, Sean Connery, and Colin Firth to name a few. How is this work useful for lawyers? First and foremost, I believe that this work is enormously useful for storytellers, which is a crucial skill for lawyers when it comes to telling their clients story to a jury. Very simply, the lawyer must tell their clients story from the perspective of many different people (i.e., witnesses), none of whom are alike.
Practically speaking, this presentation could help litigation attorneys when it comes to cross-
examining witnesses by helping them to identify a witnesss inner attitudes and thus what
behavior would be most beneficial to adopt when it comes to questioning that witness in order to
elicit favorable testimony.
It can also be enormously helpful during jury selection as you will come to find out. This work is taught to law enforcement officials to aid in interrogating suspects and constructing profiles of potential suspects when leads are scarce. Its called, Movement Pattern Analysis. Thus, a collateral benefit is to put attorneys on a level playing field with law enforcement.It's The Little Things: Observations on Curiosity, Connection, and Courage .pdf

A lawyers professional obligations, including diligence (Rule 1.3), communication (Rule 1.4), confidentiality (Rule 1.6), safeguarding property (Rule 1.15), place significant duties on attorneys, and require constant attention and vigilance.
At the same time, the dizzying ways in which communications and technology tools are changing the way lawyers and their clients work make maintaining competence (Rule 1.1) a constant learning challenge and a continuous work in progress.
And when new computer technologies, growing caseloads, budget constraints, and new competitors force changes in the way we do our jobs, some of the tools that have served us well in the past may fall a little short. Without sufficient mental clarity, cognitive function, and energy, maintaining professional competence, client service, and keeping pace with change can be a tall order.
As a result, managing change when the new becomes the normal can be overwhelming. Unfortunately, too many of us react to the distresses of our professional and personal challenges by isolating ourselves and turning to unhealthy and dangerous actions and habits.
This presentation offers a little bit of perspective on some of the reasons the jobs we do often make us more susceptible to isolation and destructive behaviors, argues that a healthy mind is a crucial tool for anyone navigating change and uncertainty, and offers some practical strategies for surviving- and hopefully thriving- in an uncertain world. A healthy lawyer has the tools to satisfy her professional obligations
This presentation will also address some of the cognitive biases (reasoning flaws) that may affect not only legal decision-making processes, but health and well-being choices. By learning to be aware of cognitive bias and the way it may influence our thoughts and actions, we can improve our decisionmaking process- and hopefully our choices.

Theater of the Courtroom - Connecting to the Jury and Finding Justice Through...Michael DeBlis III, Esq., LLM
油
At first blush, the similarities between the theater and the courtroom might seem as disparate as the difference between the night and the day. But when you look beneath the surface, the connections between the two are strikingly similar. At its core, theater is rooted in the idea that art expresses human experience. The same is true for trials. The very essence of a trial is a story the story of a human experience. The goal of the attorney is to draw the jury into a re-constructed reality of past events such that they see what happened even though they were not present to witness the original event.
The attorney is the producer of that event as well as the writer, director, and the actor in that event. A play is also a live event with story at its core. The goal of the actor is to transform personal experience into a universal and recognizable form of expression that has the ability to change something in the spectator. Actors must guide the audience on a journey bringing with them their minds and hearts.
I've become fascinated with how the creative world of acting overlaps with the courtroom and how the connections between these two disciplines can be exploited for the good of my clients. This has become my lifes work. It has ignited something inside me. It exhilarates me in ways that I cannot describe. Come join me on this wild ride.
Silencing the Inner Critic Both In and Out of Court
Silencing the Inner Critic Both In and Out of CourtMichael DeBlis III, Esq., LLM
油
This ebook provides a comprehensive exploration of the theme of perfectionism, the inner critic, and the importance of being present in both personal and professional contexts, particularly in legal settings.
1. Silencing the Inner Critic: We begin with a focus on freeing oneself from self-judgment and the judgment of others. I emphasize the importance of slowing down racing thoughts and acknowledging that worrying does not alter the past, nor does it change the future.
2. Perfectionism: I discuss the concept of perfectionism and how it is not only unattainable but also uninteresting. I suggest that audiences are drawn to authenticity rather than flawless performances. The idea is reinforced with examples, such as how mistakes can lead to valuable outcomes. Being human is inherently messy and striving for perfection often stems from past criticism and fear of judgment.
3. Cultural Obsession with Perfection: I discuss society's obsession with perfection, from social media selfies to curated appearances, and the stifling nature of this pursuit on creativity.
4. Authenticity in Legal Practice: I share personal insights from my experience in law, noting that imperfections in presentations can enhance authenticity and resonate more deeply with jurors. The lessons learned suggest that genuine emotion and real-life experiences are more impactful than polished performances.
5. The Power of Words: The significance of words is highlighted, particularly in the courtroom, where they can evoke strong emotions and influence the jury's perception. The balance between passion in advocacy and careful word choice is emphasized, as well as the necessity of being mindful of the energy and emotions conveyed through words.
6. Engaging the Jury: I discuss the dynamics of jury interaction, emphasizing that jurors desire a captivating experience and are often rooting for the lawyer to engage them. Strategies for empowering the jury and acknowledging their role in the courtroom are suggested to foster goodwill and enhance the overall trial experience.
7. Being Present: A significant portion of the presentation focuses on the importance of being present in the moment. Individuals spend a considerable part of their day lost in thoughts of the past or future, leading to stress and anxiety. I encourage mindfulness practices, such as meditation, to cultivate a non-judgmental mind and improve focus on the present.
8. Managing Thoughts and Expectations: Techniques for managing thoughts and expectations are discussed, including the idea of viewing thoughts as passing cars rather than allowing them to derail focus. The importance of setting realistic expectations and being adaptable in the face of objections during legal proceedings is highlighted.
9. Final Thoughts: I conclude with a call to embrace the present moment fully, suggesting that true freedom and spontaneity arise from engaging fully with life as it unfolds.More Related Content

This ebook provides a comprehensive exploration of the theme of perfectionism, the inner critic, and the importance of being present in both personal and professional contexts, particularly in legal settings.
1. Silencing the Inner Critic: We begin with a focus on freeing oneself from self-judgment and the judgment of others. I emphasize the importance of slowing down racing thoughts and acknowledging that worrying does not alter the past, nor does it change the future.
2. Perfectionism: I discuss the concept of perfectionism and how it is not only unattainable but also uninteresting. I suggest that audiences are drawn to authenticity rather than flawless performances. The idea is reinforced with examples, such as how mistakes can lead to valuable outcomes. Being human is inherently messy and striving for perfection often stems from past criticism and fear of judgment.
3. Cultural Obsession with Perfection: I discuss society's obsession with perfection, from social media selfies to curated appearances, and the stifling nature of this pursuit on creativity.
4. Authenticity in Legal Practice: I share personal insights from my experience in law, noting that imperfections in presentations can enhance authenticity and resonate more deeply with jurors. The lessons learned suggest that genuine emotion and real-life experiences are more impactful than polished performances.
5. The Power of Words: The significance of words is highlighted, particularly in the courtroom, where they can evoke strong emotions and influence the jury's perception. The balance between passion in advocacy and careful word choice is emphasized, as well as the necessity of being mindful of the energy and emotions conveyed through words.
6. Engaging the Jury: I discuss the dynamics of jury interaction, emphasizing that jurors desire a captivating experience and are often rooting for the lawyer to engage them. Strategies for empowering the jury and acknowledging their role in the courtroom are suggested to foster goodwill and enhance the overall trial experience.
7. Being Present: A significant portion of the presentation focuses on the importance of being present in the moment. Individuals spend a considerable part of their day lost in thoughts of the past or future, leading to stress and anxiety. I encourage mindfulness practices, such as meditation, to cultivate a non-judgmental mind and improve focus on the present.
8. Managing Thoughts and Expectations: Techniques for managing thoughts and expectations are discussed, including the idea of viewing thoughts as passing cars rather than allowing them to derail focus. The importance of setting realistic expectations and being adaptable in the face of objections during legal proceedings is highlighted.
9. Final Thoughts: I conclude with a call to embrace the present moment fully, suggesting that true freedom and spontaneity arise from engaging fully with life as it unfolds.際際滷 1-Defending Murder Cases_ Edmonton Criminal.pptx
