This Day in Legal History: National Defense ActOn June 3, 1916, President Woodrow Wilson signed the National Defense Act into law, marking a major shift in American military and legal policy. Passed amid growing tensions related to World War I, the Act dramatically expanded the U.S. Army and strengthened the National Guard, officially integrating it as the Army's primary reserve force. It increased the size of the Regular Army to over 175,000 soldiers and provided for a National Guard force of over 400,000 when fully mobilized. The law also created the Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC), formalizing military education at civilian colleges and universities across the country.Crucially, the Act clarified federal authority over the National Guard, requiring units to conform to federal training standards and granting the president the power to mobilize them for national emergencies. This federalization of a traditionally state-controlled force marked a significant legal development in the balance between state and federal military power. It addressed long-standing constitutional ambiguities surrounding the militia clauses and reflected evolving views of national defense in a modern industrial society.The Act emerged from broader preparedness debates within the U.S. political and legal spheres, balancing isolationist tendencies with the perceived need for greater military readiness. Though the U.S. would not enter World War I until 1917, the National Defense Act of 1916 laid essential legal groundwork for rapid mobilization. It remains a foundational statute for the structure of the modern U.S. military.The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear two significant Second Amendment challenges involving bans on assault-style rifles and high-capacity magazines in Maryland and Rhode Island. By refusing the appeals, the Court left in place lower court rulings upholding the restrictions. Maryland's law, enacted after the 2012 Sandy Hook shooting, bans certain semi-automatic rifles like the AR-15, while Rhode Island's 2022 law prohibits magazines holding more than 10 rounds. Plaintiffs in both cases argued that these weapons and accessories are commonly owned by law-abiding citizens and thus protected by the Constitution.The Court's conservative bloc showed signs of division. Justices Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch dissented, indicating they would have reviewed the bans. Justice Kavanaugh did not dissent but issued a statement expressing openness to hearing similar cases in the future, suggesting that the Court would eventually need to rule on whether AR-15s are constitutionally protected.Lower courts rejected the challenges based on the weapons' military-style design and their use in mass killings, reasoning that they are not suitable for self-defense and thus fall outside Second Amendment protection. The challengers contended that these laws ignore the Court's prior rulings on weapons in “common use.” Despite recent decisions expanding gun rights, the justices allowed these bans to stand for now.US Supreme Court won't review assault weapon, high-capacity magazine bans | ReutersThree federal lawsuits filed on June 2, 2025, allege that major class action settlement administrators and two banks engaged in a kickback scheme that siphoned funds away from class members. The suits, brought in New York, Florida, and California, accuse Epiq Solutions, Angeion Group, and JND Legal Administration of securing illicit payments from Huntington National Bank and Western Alliance Bank in exchange for directing large volumes of settlement deposits to them. In return, the administrators allegedly received a share of the banks' profits.Plaintiffs claim the scheme dates back years and coincided with rising interest rates in 2021, which increased the potential value of settlement fund deposits. According to the lawsuits, administrators threatened to stop using the banks unless they shared profits. As a result, class members allegedly received lower payouts due to below-market interest rates on their settlement funds.Together, the defendant banks are said to control over 80% of the U.S. settlement fund market, while the administrators manage over 65% of class action services. The plaintiffs argue this arrangement violated U.S. antitrust law by reducing competition and fixing prices. JND and Western Alliance have denied wrongdoing, calling the claims baseless or inaccurate. Huntington declined to comment, and other parties have yet to respond.Class action administrators, banks accused of kickback scheme in new lawsuits | ReutersMy column for Bloomberg this week looks at Spain's proposed 100% tax on non-EU homebuyers, introduced as a bold fix for the country's deepening housing crisis. The government is responding to surging public frustration over exploding rents—up more than 60% in Barcelona in five years—and the sense that local housing is being turned into an asset class for absentee owners. But while the policy grabs attention, I argue it misses the real target. The problem isn't who owns the homes—it's how those homes are being used. A blanket nationality-based tax is a blunt instrument that's economically ineffective, legally risky under EU and international law, and symbolically inflammatory.Instead, I suggest a more focused approach: taxing speculative flipping and underutilization directly. A resale tax on homes sold within a short holding period, calibrated by how quickly they're flipped, would discourage fast-moving speculation without penalizing genuine residents or workers. Similarly, a progressive vacancy tax—getting steeper the longer a property remains empty—would address the roughly four million vacant or underused homes across Spain. These tools would pressure banks and investors to put housing back into circulation while raising revenue for public housing initiatives.Critically, these proposals are neutral as to the owner's nationality. Whether a home is owned by a Spanish bank, a Canadian retiree, or a U.S. fund manager, what matters is whether it's being used as shelter or as a sidelined asset. The column makes the case that Spain's housing crisis won't be solved by turning foreign investors into political scapegoats, but by confronting speculative behaviors that choke supply and inflate prices—regardless of the flag the buyer flies.

La política de drogas del actual gobierno tendrá una cierta continuidad en el próximo. Al menos con respecto a la marihuana. Luego de que en enero se supiera que algunos altos funcionarios del Ministerio del Interior y la Policía seguirán en sus cargos en la administración de Yamandú Orsi, esta semana se anunció que Daniel Radío, que pertenece al Partido Independiente y hoy es secretario general de la Junta Nacional de Drogas (JND), será desde marzo director del Instituto de Regulación y Control del Cannabis (IRCCA). Durante su gestión en este período, Radío no pasó desapercibido: tuvo varios roces dentro de la Coalición Republicana. En particular, recibió varios cuestionamientos desde Cabildo Abierto aunque también de legisladores blancos y colorados, quienes opinaban que llevaba adelante una política demasiado laxa. ¿Por qué dio este paso? ¿Qué expectativas tiene sobre su nueva responsabilidad? Conversamos En Perspectiva con el Dr. Daniel Radío sobre esto y otra noticia de esta semana: la firma de un convenio entre la JND, el IRCCA, la Universidad de la República y la ANII para crear un Fondo Sectorial de Investigación Cannábica.

Chris Jones's last view of God's Chosen People was from the balcony of the London meeting hall in Park Lane, as the Aberdeen crisis split JND's famous “Metropolitan” congregation in two, and half the “saints” stormed out of the hall amid angry recriminations. Born into the well known Barber brethren family, Chris changed his surname to Jones when he left, in defiance of his parent's appalling mistreatment of him. Intelligent and curious, and with a passion for geology and fossils, Chris found the narrow-minded and coercive Brethren regime unbearable, and his many acts of rebellion as a child resulted in harsh corporeal punishment. Leaving as soon as he legally could, Chris worked to pay his way through University, getting a B.Sc. with honors in Geology, and moved to Africa, where he became a exploration geologist and consultant for gold and platinum mining operations, then took up a teaching career as a lecturer in the University of Limpopo, South Africa. Chris had resolutely put his dark formative years in the PBCC behind him, and forged ahead with his exciting and successful life – but on his recent retirement, he came across the Get-A-Life podcasts, and felt a desire to tell his story, and to offer hope, encouragement and help to the current generation of young people trapped inside the narrow walls of the cult. Above all, Chris' sparkling and warm personality shines out in this podcast, as a testimony to an exciting, happy and successful life that had such a dark and unpromising beginning.

La Policía informó ayer que se está analizando si parte de la droga incautada en San José el viernes pasado podría incluir fentanilo. El fentanilo, un opioide cien veces más potente que la morfina y cincuenta más que la heroína, está autorizado en Estados Unidos (EEUU) para su uso médico desde hace décadas en casos de dolores muy fuertes, pero en los últimos años se amplio su consumo recreativo con un gran impacto. La llamada “crisis de los opiáceos” en EEUU dejó 110.000 muertos por sobredosis en 2022, según datos oficiales, y el fentanilo -combinado con otras sustancias- es considerado el principal responsable. En ciudades como San Francisco o Filadelfia han aparecido los llamados “zombies de fentanilo”, personas que se desplazan como esos personajes del cine de terror bajo el efecto de la droga, que han causado gran impacto por los videos difundidos en YouTube o TikTok. Según dijo ayer José Azambuya, el director de la Policía Nacional, en 2017 ya se había encontrado fentanilo en nuestro país. Este cargamento hallado en San José tiene, dijo Azambuya, tiene “características similares y un comportamiento similar” al fentanilo y por eso se pidió su análisis. Hace poco se había encontrado esta droga en Argentina y la Junta Nacional de Drogas (JND) uruguaya había emitido una alerta al respecto. ¿Cómo se puede proceder? ¿Qué tanta preocupación hay que tener? ¿Se puede comparar con la aparición de la pasta base a principios de los 2000? Conversamos En Perspectiva con el Dr. Daniel Radío, secretario de la JND.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2023.08.03.551865v1?rss=1 Authors: Turpin, T., Uluc, I., Lankinen, K., Mamashli, F., Ahveninen, J. Abstract: Working memory (WM) reflects the transient maintenance of information in the absence of external input, which can be attained via multiple senses separately or simultaneously. Pertaining to WM, the prevailing literature suggests the dominance of vision over other sensory systems. However, this imbalance may be attributed to challenges of finding stimuli that are represented in comparable ways across modalities. Here, we addressed this methodological problem by using a balanced multisensory "retro-cue" WM design. The to-be-memorized stimuli consisted of combinations of auditory (ripple sounds) and visuospatial (Gabor patches) patterns, which have been shown to undergo similar transformations during WM encoding and retrieval. Using a staircase procedure, the auditory ripple velocities and spatial frequencies of Gabor patches were adjusted relative to each participant's just noticeable differences (JND) separately in each modality, before the main task. The task was to audiovisually compare the probes to the memorized items. In randomly ordered trials, the probe either fully matched or differed from the memory item auditorily, visually, or audiovisually. The participants correctly rejected a significantly larger number of auditory non-match probes than visual non-match probes. Our findings suggest that, in the case of inter-sensory competition during feature maintenance, auditory attributes of multisensory WM items can be retrieved more precisely than their visual counterparts when complexity of the content and task demands are bimodally equated.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2023.07.28.550867v1?rss=1 Authors: McIlroy, R. E., Barnett-Cowan, M. Abstract: Background: Vision can significantly impact both the perception and behaviour related to postural control. This study examines the influence of vision on the perception of postural instability onset. Previous research employing Temporal Order Judgment (TOJ) tasks to investigate the perceived timing of postural perturbation onset has not incorporated visual cues. Research question: Does the presence of visual feedback affect the point of subjective simultaneity (PSS) between postural perturbation onset and an auditory reference stimulus and does this additional sensory cue increase TOJ precision? Methods: Using a lean-and-release paradigm, 10 participants were exposed to postural perturbations in both eyes closed (EC) and eyes open (EO) conditions using a TOJ task where they indicated whether they perceived postural instability onset or sound onset as occurring first for each trial. Separate paired t-tests between EC and EO PSS and just noticeable difference (JND) values were used. One-sample t-tests were also used on PSS values for both conditions, comparing them to 0ms (true simultaneity). Results: The EC condition demonstrated a perceived delay of postural instability onset by 25.78 ms, while the EO condition showed a perceived delay of the auditory stimulus by 12.33 ms. However, no significant differences were found between the conditions or in comparison to true simultaneity. Mean JND values for EC (39.88 ms) and EO (46.48 ms) were not significantly different, suggesting visual information does not affect response precision for this task under these conditions. Significance: These findings indicate that visual information does not significantly affect the perception of postural instability onset. This suggests that visual information may play a limited role in the early perceptual stages of postural instability. Copy rights belong to original authors.

By John Bramhall The longing hearts of many believers for the return of our blessed Lord can be expressed in the words of Judges 5:28, “Why is his chariot so long in coming? Why tarry the wheels of his chariot”? The multiplicity of violence and corruption upon the earth today, coupled with increased testings of various kinds, may also tend to produce the spirit of impatience for our final deliverance to the spiritual heart. “Lord, When are you coming? Why do you not come today?” may often be expressed. This is where our need for patience appears. We need the prayerful exhortation of Paul —” The Lord Direct Your Hearts into the Love of God, and Into the Patience of the Christ” — (2 Thess. 3:5 JND). https://plymouthbrethren.org/author/29

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2022.10.20.513044v1?rss=1 Authors: Kemp, J. T., Cesanek, E., Domini, F. Abstract: The fundamental question of how the brain derives 3D information from the inherently ambiguous visual input has been approached during the last two decades with probabilistic theories of 3D perception. Probabilistic models, such as the Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) model, derive from multiple independent depth cues the most probable 3D interpretations. These estimates are then combined by weighing them according to their uncertainty to obtain the most accurate and least noisy estimate. In three experiments we tested an alternative theory of cue integration termed the Intrinsic Constraint (IC) theory. This theory postulates that the visual system does not derive the most probable interpretation of the visual input, but the most stable interpretation amid variations in viewing conditions. This goal is achieved with the Vector Sum model, that represents individual cue estimates as components of a multidimensional vector whose norm determines the combined output. In contrast with the MLE model, individual cue estimates are not accurate, but linearly related to distal 3D properties through a deterministic mapping. In Experiment 1, we measured the cue-specific biases that arise when viewing single-cue stimuli of various simulated depths and show that the Vector Sum model accurately predicts an increase in perceived depth when the same cues are presented together in a combined-cue stimulus. In Experiment 2, we show how Just Noticeable Differences (JNDs) are accounted for by the IC theory and demonstrate that the Vector Sum model predicts the classic finding of smaller JNDs for combined-cue versus single-cue stimuli. Most importantly, this prediction is made through a radical re-interpretation of the JND, a hallmark measure of stimulus discriminability previously thought to estimate perceptual uncertainty. In Experiment 3, we show that biases found in cue-integration experiments cannot be attributed to flatness cues, as assumed by the MLE model. Instead, we show that flatness cues produce no measurable difference in perceived depth for monocular (3A) or binocular viewing (3B), as predicted by the Vector Sum model.

En 2021 aumentó entre los adolescentes uruguayos el consumo de bebidas energizantes, que es la sustancia más consumida por los menores de quince años. A su vez, también se incrementó el uso de tranquilizantes. El 14% de los jóvenes lo hizo en el último año, con o sin prescripción médica. Durante el año, por primera vez se constató que el consumo de alcohol alcanzó mayor proporción entre las adolescentes mujeres que entre los varones. Las chicas también consumieron más marihuana, tabaco y tranquilizantes. Son algunas de las conclusiones que pueden extraerse de la Encuesta Nacional sobre Consumo de Drogas entre los Estudiantes de Enseñanza Media, presentada días atrás por la Administración Nacional de Educación Pública y la Junta Nacional de Drogas (JND). Para el estudio se encuestó a 5.096 estudiantes de más de 100 centros educativos públicos y privados. Profundizamos en estos datos con la socióloga Jessica Ramírez, investigadora del Observatorio Uruguayo de Drogas de la JND.

Our task is not only to realize humor's profound influence but also to develop the necessary skills to use it powerfully and ethically. As you become more and more skilled at incorporating humor into your presentations, you will discover that humor almost always has a place. Humor puts your audience in a good frame of mind. Your audience is in a good disposition and less likely to disagree with you. When you develop rapport with your audience, they will like you more. Humor also increases trust. Top commercials of all time   The skill of using humor can be learned and mastered, but only with consistent practice. Sometimes you may fail but keep at it until you have harnessed the power to make others laugh. Then others will always feel good when they are in your presence. They will also take what you have to say more seriously. Humor will give you the power to motivate and influence others in a productive, positive way. shrinkflation examples   What else is used to persuade below the radar?  What are companies doing to their slightly deceptive products that you are not even aware of?  How do JND and Shrinkflation sway your thoughts and opinions?  Join me for this week's podcast on JND, Shrinkflation, Advertising - Brilliant Deception?  You will discover how to persuade below the radar.

La política del gobierno en materia de drogas está siendo objeto de cuestionamientos desde adeantro del oficialismo. El senador Guido Manini Ríos reclamó la semana pasada que la Junta Nacional de Drogas (JND) implemente una campaña “agresiva” para desalentar el consumo de estas sustancias, que a su juicio incide en el estado de la seguridad pública. El líder de Cabildo Abierto (CA) agregó que mientras la droga sigue profliferando la JND “juega a competir con los narcotraficantes, a ver quién vende la droga mejor y más barata y no a terminar de una vez por todas con el consumo". Paralelamente CA impulsa la derogación de la ley que habilitó la producción y venta de cannabis bajo control del Estado, aprobada en 2013 durante el gobierno de José Mujica. El diputado Álvaro Perrone sostuvo que encontraron “apoyo en legisladores blancos, que están haciendo una ronda” sobre el tema.

Proportionality is our theme for Episode 2, and Jay Carle of Seyfarth Shaw LLP is our guest. Give a listen as the cast argues with small children, discovers how many laundromats are in Barcelona, and predicts why a self-aware virtual assistant might sue the whole world just 10 short years from now. You might also learn a thing or two about why “you can’t always get what you want” in litigation. Sponsored by JND eDiscovery.

Reduce to the Ridiculousness (JND): This technique involves paring down your request to something that seems manageable, easier to comprehend or easier to monetize. Let's say you are trying to convince someone to purchase a life insurance policy. The client wants a $250,000 policy and you feel that is not high enough for his needs. To adequately take care of his family, you suggest a $500,000 policy. His perception is that the monthly payment for a $500,000 policy is too high. So you break it down for him, telling him that for an extra 50 cents a day, or the cost of a can of soda, he can insure himself and adequately take care of his family if something were to happen to him. With this contrast, your client can see that the extra 50 cents is worth it to have the extra $250,000 in coverage. You have reframed your request into simple terms to help your prospect see it fitting into his way of life. If you are getting resistance from coworkers to participate in a new project, you could say we are only looking for your help for 10 minutes a day or 45 minutes a week.  Many times, we can fly under the radar with the contrast principle. There is a theory called the "Just Noticeable Difference" (JND),  which means the minimum amount of difference in the intensity of the stimulus that can be detected. That means the minimal amount of change the brain can handle before it begins to notice.  What does this mean? How much can you raise the price of a product without anyone noticing? This is also true for taste. Companies want the best taste for the lowest cost. The quality of the ingredients causes people to notice or not notice the quality of the product.  Many marketers would rather change the packaging and offer less of their product than resort to charging more. When we don't notice the difference, we think we are getting the same deal. Watching a sunset would be below the JND.  We really can’t see the sun move down the horizon as we watch it. When you raise the price of a product, you don’t want anyone to notice. Gas prices going up another ten cents is not noticed unless it breaks the dollar threshold i.e. $4.00-$5.00.  Is the yogurt cup now 2.9 ounces or 3 ounces?  We don’t notice especially since the cup size has not changed, but the bottom of the cup is more concave.    3 Negotiation Techniques from Harvard Business Review   REVISED OFFER

For years, even with a failed reboot, JND.MP3 was dead in the ground. But the right elements have sparked a rebirth. Now, "JMC" himself teams up with new co-host Doc Holiday and studio assistant Farmhand to deliver their take on the important news of the hour, as well as give a preview of what a more polished JND.MP3 could look like. Spread the word...the legend is back and stronger than ever!

Background/Aims: Specific language impairment (SLI) is believed to be associated with nonverbal auditory (NVA) deficits. It remains unclear, however, whether children with SLI show deficits in auditory time processing, time processing in general, frequency discrimination (FD), or NVA processing in general. Patients and Methods: Twenty-seven children (aged 8-11) with SLI and 27 control children (CG), matched for age and gender, were retrospectively compared with regard to their performance on five NVA skills in terms of just noticeable differences (JND) and time order judgments (TOJ). JND was used for FD, intensity discrimination, and gap detection, while TOJ was used for FD and clicks. Results: Children with SLI performed significantly worse than the CG only on the FD tasks (JND and TOJ). The other nonverbal tasks showed no significant intergroup differences. Additionally, moderate associations were found between the FD tasks and phonological skills, as well as between FD tasks and language scores. Conclusion: Children with SLI appear to have restricted FD skills compared to controls, but there was no evidence for a common NVA deficit or reduced temporal auditory abilities.
