<p>A five-day strike, which was scheduled for the week of December 16, has been postponed in the light of the sudden demise of the company’s chief executive officer, Bernard Tyson. According to the reports, the union that represents 4000 Kaiser Permanente mental health clinicians made the announcement. The strike is going to affect patients at more than 100 facilities run by Kaiser in California from Sacramento to San Diego. One of the main demands put up by the workers is to shorten the waiting period for patients who are trying to schedule return visits for behavioral health treatment and reduce caseloads for therapists. Ken Rogers, who is a Kaiser psychologist, said in his statement that Mental health has been overlooked and underserved. They are ready to work with Kaiser to form a new model for mental health care. It is not right to force patients to wait for two months for appointments. The clinics are overloaded with cases. The situation can only get better if Kaiser steps up and commit to fix the system and treat the patients and caregivers fairly.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p>

<p>As per the 2018 report published by Lex Machina Trade Secret Litigation, the 2016 enactment of the Defend Trade Secrets Act has increased the filings of trade secret claims in the federal courts. The act put the number of mysterious trade cases to similar footing with patents, copyrights, and trademarks under federal law. Northern District of California had only 27 such cases in 2015, which has increased to 64 in 2018. Also, the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California saw a sudden increase in trade secret disputes as compared to 2015, which was clocked at 14.6 percent higher this year. Before 2016, such cases were handled under the California Uniform Trade Secrets Act, which was formed in 1985. When such situations are filed under DTSA, the advantage goes to American companies against a foreign business. However, as per Lex Machina’s report, only 1/3 of such cases were filed by American companies against international companies in California. Most of such cases involve California plaintiffs suing California defendants.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p>

<p>Jack LaPant was in shock when he came to know that he could be violating the Clean Water Act for farming his land. The federal law includes an explicit exemption for “normal” farming activities. However, the Army Corps of Engineers filed a case against him in 2016 for plowing he did in 2011. In March 2012, he sold that property, which is located in Tehama County 4 miles south of the city of Red Bluff. Before beginning plowing, he consulted government officials who never suggested that he should meet the Army Corps of Engineers. When he talked to officials and asked them if it is okay to use the land to grow wheat, they cleared it. However, no one tells the farmers that one has to check with the Army Corps of Engineers before using their land for farming. Department of Agriculture has no idea about it though both departments belong to the same government. Tony Francois, who is a lawyer with Pacific Legal Foundation, said that though it is mentioned in the Clean Water Act that standard farming practices are exempted, Army Corp has imposed many hurdles of their own.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p>

<p>The state's largest utility PG&E says it is searching for innovative ways of preventing disasters in the future after it accepts the responsibility for setting off California's most destructive and deadliest wildfire ever.</p><p><br></p><p>State regulators released a new report detailing how PG&E neglected to properly examine and maintain the equipment, which lead to the ignition os the November 2018 Camp Fire.

<p>A director from South Korea, for the first time, has been nominated for a Golden Globe award - the latest in a continuing flurry of accolades for Bong Joon-ho and his dark social satire, Parasite. </p><p><br></p><p>The film has been named the year's best film by the Los Angeles Film Critics Association. It has also won the Palme d'Or, a New York Film Critics Circle Award. Now conjecture is being as to whether Parasite can become the first-ever foreign language film to win a Best Picture Oscar.</p><p><br></p><p>All this buzz did not start on its own. The director, along with his translator Sharon Choi went on for a prolonged publicity push in Los Angeles last autumn, where they did hundreds of interviews over a period of a week. When they finally talked with NPR, they were a little happy-go-lucky.</p><p><br></p><p>Choi laughed and said that in this interview, he does not want to use any of the words he's been using so far. These words Bong offered in English, included "next project," "class warfare," "class," and "Harvey Weinstein."</p><p><br></p><p>Bong said firmly of Weinstein, "These days, I've forgotten everything about him."</p><p><br></p><p>No such amnesia employed when it came to the filmmaker's artistic influences.</p><p><br></p>
