This lecture explores the critical phase of default, remedies, and enforcement in secure transactions under Article 9 of the UCC. It covers the definition of default, the rights of secured parties upon default, the process of repossession, and the importance of commercial reasonableness in the disposition of collateral. The lecture also discusses the procedural safeguards in place to protect debtor rights and the implications of noncompliance with UCC requirements.TakeawaysDefault is largely defined by the parties' agreement.Secured parties have powerful rights upon default.Repossession can occur without judicial process if done peacefully.Commercial reasonableness is crucial in the sale of collateral.Failure to provide notice can lead to loss of deficiency rights.Debtors have redemption rights before collateral is disposed of.Judicial remedies can be pursued when self-help is risky.Procedural safeguards ensure fairness in enforcement.Noncompliance with UCC can result in sanctions.Understanding these principles is vital for commercial law practice.secure transactions, default, remedies, UCC, collateral, enforcement, commercial law, debtor rights, repossession, judicial remedies

Episode Summary In this episode of the Canadian Immigration Podcast, host Mark Holthe is joined by guest co-host Igor Kyryliuk to tackle one of the most critical yet misunderstood components of Express Entry applications: responding to Procedural Fairness Letters (PFLs). This episode is part of the "Time's Up" series and shines a spotlight on the rising trend of misrepresentation allegations and PFLs issued by IRCC, particularly around work history inconsistencies. Mark and Igor walk through the anatomy of a procedural fairness letter, highlight real-world examples, and break down the essential do's and don'ts when drafting your response. They also explore how changes in federal immigration policy, increased use of AI in application assessments, and the government's intent to reduce temporary and permanent residents are raising the stakes for Express Entry applicants. Whether you're currently facing a PFL or want to avoid one altogether, this episode provides vital strategies to safeguard your immigration future. Key Topics Discussed What is a Procedural Fairness Letter? Understanding its role in Canadian immigration processing. Legal duty of fairness and when it is (and isn't) triggered. Common Triggers for Procedural Fairness Letters Inconsistencies in work and education history across past applications. Undeclared prior visa refusals. Omissions vs. commissions and the role of intent. Responding to a PFL Effectively How to structure your response to rebuild officer trust. Importance of taking full responsibility and providing detailed explanations. Addressing issues proactively—even before receiving a PFL. Examples of Misrepresentation Real cases where innocent mistakes led to serious consequences. When forgetting to mention past employment or education can cost you your future in Canada. Consequences of Misrepresentation Five-year inadmissibility bans. Loss of status, future refusals, and trouble with immigration systems worldwide. Strategic Considerations When to disclose new information voluntarily via a webform. Use of GCMS notes to anticipate officer concerns. Consulting with an immigration lawyer to preempt or respond to issues. Key Takeaways A small mistake in your Express Entry profile can escalate into a misrepresentation allegation with devastating consequences. Procedural fairness letters are your opportunity to clarify and defend your case—use them wisely. Owning your error and submitting a well-organized, transparent response is critical. Proactively addressing discrepancies before IRCC flags them can save your application. Legal help isn't optional—it's essential when facing a PFL. Quotes from the Episode Mark Holthe: “Even if you're not trying to mislead, a simple omission can still land you with a five-year ban for misrepresentation.” Igor Kyryliuk: “Officers don't have hours to read your documents. Your response should be clear, well-structured, and make it easy for them to say yes.” Links and Resources Watch this episode on YouTube Canadian Immigration Podcast Book a consult Enroll in the Express Entry Accelerator and Masterclass Subscribe for MoreStay up-to-date with the latest in Canadian immigration by subscribing to the Canadian Immigration Podcast on iTunes, Spotify, or YouTube.

Procedural shenanigans and strong armed bills in the House of Commons

It's hard to believe your intrepid hosts birthed this little pod into the world a whole three years ago, but here we are! Still readin' papers, still summing em' up for YOU, our amazing Summerupperers!And to mark the occasion, we are celebrating with a triple scoop of gas policy, political philisophy and pod merch madness! That's right, we're SHIRTFRONTING the lot of you! After far, far too many ‘Shirtfronting with Frankie' segments, Team LMSU is delighted to offer our very own a la carte merch menu! T-shirts and tote bags and mugs, oh my! All brought to you via our brand-spanking-new website glow-up at www.letmesumup.net! There is now a one-stop-shop for all your LMSU needs: listen to the pod, leave us a voicemail, support us on Patreon and deck yourself out in LMSU's finest. Run, don't walk over to www.letmesumup.net.—Gas, gas, gas! After Frankie's extended victory lap post winning the longest-running, slowest-moving merch race around, we talk gas. SO MUCH gas. First, Woodside's North West Shelf gets the green light to operate until 2070 from incoming Federal Environment Minister Murray Watt. Cue despair from climate advocates and a 600-page consultant report that may or may not be acid rainwashing ancient rock art. But while this decision went Woodside's way, gas market fundamentals may not be so kind; keeping this facility pumping beyond the early 2030s will require opening up the Browse Basin, and there are big question marks over the fundamental economics. There is some great analysis on this around if you look for it, not least from IEEFA's Joshua Runciman, which we highly recommend!Next, a decision from the Victorian Government to approve Viva's construction of an LNG Import Terminal in Geelong. Magic gas ships? A lesser of three evils? Who woulda thunk it! Stranded assets are so 2022. Lots of complexity to unpack in these decisions, and we have our usual abundance of thoughts!Our main courseEver hungry for new feasts of ideas, your intrepid hosts were not content to blow out the candles at this birthday party with a mere paper, oh no! We gifted ourselves an abundance of anecdotes - and maybe a famine of fixes - devouring the infamous book doing the rounds in US liberal politics circles, “Abundance” by Derek Thompson and Ezra Klein. This pro-growth, anti-red tape manifesto is a 'ripper' according to Jim Chalmers and will clearly be doing the rounds in Australian political circles, but what do your intrepid hosts make of it all? A provocation for a “liberalism that builds”, the challenges in housing, health, energy and infrastructure all feel familiar. For these three policy wonks, we would have really liked a list, not just a lens! Lots to digest, provocations and limitations but ultimately food for Australian thought.One more thingsOur collective One More Thing is a massive thanks to YOU, our delightful Summerupperers! We continue to love doing the pod, getting to spend time with each other and meeting so many of you, out in the world! Our gift to you (and ourselves really, who's kidding) is the fully operational climate nerd command center that is www.letmesumup.net. Listen to episodes, shop the merch, leave us a voicemail, or just marvel at the fact that we finally have an About page!And that's all from us this week Summerupperers! Leave us a voicemail with your hot tips and suggestions for papers, and while you're at it, grab an LMSU T-shirt, mug or tote at letmesumup.net.

Can artificial intelligence truly become wise? In this landmark lecture, John Vervaeke explores the future of AI through a lens few dare to examine: the limits of intelligence itself. He unpacks the critical differences between intelligence, rationality, reasonableness, and wisdom—terms often used interchangeably in discussions around AGI. Drawing from decades of research in cognitive science and philosophy, John argues that while large language models like ChatGPT demonstrate forms of generalized intelligence, they fundamentally lack core elements of human cognition: embodiment, caring, and participatory knowing. By distinguishing between propositional, procedural, perspectival, and participatory knowing, he reveals why the current paradigm of AI is not equipped to generate consciousness, agency, or true understanding. This lecture also serves as a moral call to action: if we want wise machines, we must first become wiser ourselves.

In this case, the court considered this issue: Can a plaintiff state a claim under ERISA's provision prohibiting a plan fiduciary from knowingly engaging in transactions with barred parties, solely by alleging that such a transaction took place?The case was decided on April 17, 2025.The Supreme Court held that To state a claim under Section 1106(a)(1)(C) of ERISA, a plaintiff need only plausibly allege the elements listed in that provision itself: that a plan fiduciary knowingly caused the plan to engage in a transaction involving goods, services, or facilities with a party in interest. The plaintiff is not required to plead that the transaction does not qualify for an exemption under Section 1108. Justice Sonia Sotomayor authored the unanimous opinion of the Court.Section 1106(a)(1)(C) establishes a clear, categorical prohibition on certain transactions between a pension plan and a party in interest. ERISA's structure places relevant exemptions, including those for reasonable and necessary services under Section 1108(b)(2)(A), in a separate statutory provision. Because those exemptions are laid out apart from the prohibitions and refer back to conduct already defined as unlawful, they function as affirmative defenses. As a result, plan fiduciaries who wish to invoke an exemption bear the burden of pleading and proving it. Plaintiffs, on the other hand, are not obliged to anticipate and refute every possible statutory or regulatory exemption.Reading exemptions as affirmative defenses also aligns with longstanding legal principles and avoids unworkable results. Requiring plaintiffs to negate all exemptions—especially when ERISA includes 21 statutory and hundreds of regulatory exemptions—would be impractical and unfair, particularly because the relevant facts are often in the defendant's possession. Procedural safeguards such as pleading requirements, discovery limits, and Rule 11 sanctions enable federal courts to deter and manage meritless litigation without shifting the pleading burden to plaintiffs. Consequently, only the elements in Section 1106(a)(1)(C) must be pleaded to survive a motion to dismiss.Justice Samuel Alito joined the majority opinion in full and authored a concurrence, in which Justices Clarence Thomas and Brett Kavanaugh joined.The opinion is presented here in its entirety, but with citations omitted.

N Engl J Med 2024;391:1673-1684Background: Non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) is the most common acute coronary syndrome subtype in adults over 75 years old. However, these patients were underrepresented in landmark NSTEMI trials. Older adults with multiple comorbidities face an increased risk of mortality. While NSTEMI contributes to this risk, they also have competing risks such as advanced age, frailty, and chronic kidney disease. The presence of competing risks means that aggressively managing one condition may have a smaller impact on overall mortality compared to a younger, otherwise healthy adult with myocardial infarction, whose primary risk of death stems from the myocardial infarction itself. Additionally, comorbid conditions like advanced kidney disease and diffuse atherosclerosis can increase the risks associated with revascularization.Cardiology Trial's Substack is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support our work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.A patient-level meta-analysis of smaller trials, including 1,479 patients, found that in elderly patients with NSTEMI, an invasive strategy reduced myocardial infarction and urgent revascularization but not mortality.The Older Patients with Non–ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction Randomized Interventional Treatment (SENRIOR-RITA) trial sought to assess invasive vs conservative management of elderly patients with NSTEMI, in a more pragmatic design.Patients: Eligible patients had to have type I NSTEMI and be 75 years or older.Patients were excluded if they had cardiogenic shock or life expectancy less than 1 year.Baseline characteristics: The trial randomized 1,518 patients from hospitals across England and Scotland – 753 randomized to invasive strategy and 765 to conservative strategy.The average age of patients was 82 years and 55% were men. Approximately 65% had hypertension, 31% had diabetes, 31% had hyperlipidemia, 31% had prior myocardial infarction, 15% had prior stroke or TIA, 21% had kidney disease, 15% had chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and 5% were current smokers.The average Charlson comorbidity index was 5.Procedures: Patients were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to undergo invasive or conservative strategy.In the invasive strategy, patients underwent coronary angiogram, and revascularization was performed as appropriate. In the conservative arm, patients were treated (unless contraindicated) with aspirin, a P2Y12 receptor antagonist, statin, beta-blocker and an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor or angiotensin II receptor blocker. Patients in the conservative arm were allowed to have a coronary angiogram if they had worsening clinical status.Endpoints: The primary end point was a composite of cardiovascular death or nonfatal myocardial infarction. Secondary outcomes included all-cause death, subsequent coronary revascularization, hospitalization for heart failure, stroke and bleeding.Analysis was performed based on the intention-to-treat principle. The trial aimed to detect a hazard ratio of 0.78, assuming a 20% risk of the primary outcome in the conservative arm. A sample size of 1,668 patients with at least 688 primary outcome events would provide 90% power at 5% alpha, while 520 events would provide 80% power.Results: Among the patient randomized to the invasive arm, 90% underwent coronary angiography and 50% underwent revascularization. The medium number of days from admission to coronary angiography was 5. Among patients randomized to the conservative arm, 5.6% underwent coronary angiography within 7 days. The median follow-up time was 4.1 years.The primary outcome was not significantly different between both groups (25.6% with invasive vs 26.3% with conservative, HR: 0.94, 95%: 0.77 - 1.14; p= 0.53).There was also no difference in all-cause death (36.1% vs 32.3%), cardiovascular death (15.8% vs 14.2%), stroke (4.2% vs 5.2%), hospitalization for heart failure (10.9% vs 10.7%), or major bleeding (8.2% vs 6.4%) “incidence for invasive mentioned first”. Future coronary revascularization was more frequent in the conservative arm (13.7% vs 3.9%). Non-fatal myocardial infarction was significantly lower with an invasive strategy (11.7% vs 15.0%).Procedural related complications occurred in less than 1% of the patients.There were no significant subgroup interactions for the primary outcome.Conclusion: In older patients with NSTEMI, an invasive strategy compared to conservative strategy, did not reduce the primary composite endpoint of cardiovascular death or nonfatal myocardial infarction, over a median of 4.1 years.The trial enrolled fewer patients than planned, and the lower-than-expected event rate reduced its statistical power. Additionally, the median 5-day delay before coronary angiography may have biased the results toward the conservative strategy.Despite its limitations, this trial demonstrates that a conservative approach is a reasonable option for selected older patients with NSTEMI. It also highlights that, although enrolling older patients with comorbidities in trials is challenging, it is feasible, and greater effort is needed to include more of this population in future trials.Finally, in this trial of patients with myocardial infarction, about one-third died over a median of 4.1 years, with less than half of these deaths attributed to cardiovascular disease. Even if an invasive strategy had reduced cardiovascular mortality, its impact on all-cause mortality would have been less significant. This concept extends beyond this trial; when interventions are applied to older patients with multiple competing risks, their overall benefit diminishes.Cardiology Trial's Substack is a reader-supported publication.

The Goldman Case (Le Procès Goldman) (2023), is a French courtroom drama based on the real-life 1976 trial of Pierre Goldman, a far-left Jewish militant who was accused of multiple armed robberies and four murders during a holdup of a pharmacy in Paris. The film, which was directed by Cedric Kahn from screenplay by Kahn and Nathalie Hertzberg, stars Arieh Worthalter as Goldman and Arthur Harari as his lead lawyer, Georges Kiejiman. The film is not only a gripping account of this celebrated trial, but also explores larger themes around individual and collective responsibility, the way courtrooms can become the battleground for contested narratives about the past, and the swirling forces of race, class, and religion in 1970s France. Joining me to talk about The Goldman Case is Fred Davis, an internationally acclaimed trial attorney, expert on French criminal law and procedure, and Lecturer at Columbia Law School, where he teaches about how to examine comparative criminal procedure through film.

This discussion emphasizes the importance of risk mitigation strategies and practical tips for implementing oral immunotherapy (OIT) in clinical practice. Key points include ensuring adult supervision during dosing, adhering to safe dosing rules to minimize allergic reactions, and maintaining close communication with healthcare providers for adjustments or emergencies. The conversation highlights the challenges of adherence, the need for proper patient and caregiver training, and the critical role of informed consent in supporting successful and safe long-term OIT management.

Alexa Ray Corriea chats with Anne, Douglas, and Nate Austin from Worldwalker Games, developers of Wildermyth. Together they discuss how they started creating games together; the inspirations behind the story and gameplay of Wildermyth; how to create iconic and memorable characters in procedural experiences; the differences between writing for procedural generation compared to a traditional campaign; and how to handle early access as a narrative focused game.

In this discussion, Dr. Anagnostou and Dr. Greenhot review key elements for informed consent in oral immunotherapy (OIT), emphasizing the benefits, risks, and outcomes of the treatment. They highlight OIT's ability to increase allergen tolerance thresholds, while acknowledging potential risks like dose-related reactions and rare conditions such as eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders. Alternatives to OIT, including food avoidance, emerging biologics, and clinical trial participation, are also discussed, with a focus on empowering clinicians to guide families in making informed decisions.

Aikaterini Anagnostou, MD (Hons), MSc, PhD and Matthew Greenhawt, MD, MBA, MSc discuss the process of preparing patients for oral immunotherapy (OIT). This first part of a 3-part video highlights the development and findings of the first International Delphi Consensus Panel on preparing patients for oral immunotherapy (OIT). Experts created a standardized checklist and consent framework to guide clinicians in counseling families about OIT, emphasizing its long-term, stepwise desensitization process and associated risks. Key considerations include controlling patient comorbidities like asthma, ensuring family commitment and agreement, and tailoring counseling to logistical and cultural factors to optimize adherence and success.

Hosts: Adam Gardiner and Rusty Cannon  Many Democrats in the US Senate have joined their Republican colleagues, voting to advance a bill dealing with immigration called the Laken Riley Act. Even prominent Democrats like Chuck Schumer and Dick Durbin voted for cloture on the bill. Some Democrats are hoping to make amendments to the bill, however. Rusty and Adam describe what’s in the bill and why some Democrats support it. 

Co-chairs of Herrick's Sports Law Group, Irwin Kishner and Dan Etna, along with the chair of Herrick's Land Use and Zoning Group, Mitch Korbey, discuss the financial, environmental, procedural and community considerations in the building and development of stadium and mixed-use projects.Engaging in these projects entails many steps from identifying the land, to obtaining support and consensus of the community, accounting for the availability of public transportation to assessing the environmental impact. Mitch discusses many of the procedural steps involved in the often-multijurisdictional approval process for stadium projects from permits to the public review process to environmental impact reviews. Dan and Irwin touch on the financing implications for these projects including conventional financings, tax exempt opportunities, as well as concession revenues and media rights. Listen to how these veterans of stadium development discuss how it can be economically and socially transformative for a community.Music by Michelangelo Sosnowitz

Whether one calls it Procedural Fidelity, Treatment Integrity, or any combination of those, and/or many other related terms, this is an important and often overlooked issue when it comes to implementing behavior analytic interventions. Think about it for a minute: as practitioners, we spend all this time obsessing about what assessment strategy to use and what interventions we think are the best fit for the individuals we serve. As you'll come to find out, we spend comparatively less time on ensuring that the programs we write are being implemented correctly. So it is with this in mind that I'm grateful that Dr. Claire St. Peter returned to the podcast to discuss her research in this area of procedural Fidelity. In this episode, we talk about why she prefers the term "Procedural Fidelity," the types of behavior plans that are difficult for teachers to implement, the different types of procedural errors one can make, the impact these different errors have, what types of intervention plans are more vs. less resistant to reductions in procedural fidelity, why this is a topic that practitioners should care about, whether to measure procedural fidelity via rate or percent correct, and regardless of method, how behavior analysts can start tracking procedural fidelity right away. We also talk about Claire's research in this area, going back to the work she did as part of her dissertation. We also talk about the state of reporting procedural fidelity in the behavior-analytic research literature. Lastly, I think it's important to point out that this topic is replete with ethical implications, which is why I titled this episode the way I did. When I listened to the show, I kept track of the various code elements that were indirectly outlined or addressed. For the mentors in the audience, this might be a fun exercise to do with your supervisees.

In the podcast "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer discusses the ongoing case against Richard Allen, accused of the Delphi murders. Coffindaffer delves into the complexities surrounding Allen's numerous confessions during his 22 months in custody, questioning their validity due to his deteriorating mental state and extreme confinement conditions. She highlights the procedural mishandling of Allen's case, such as restricted access to his attorneys and potential Sixth Amendment violations. Despite Allen's confessions potentially containing unique knowledge of the case, Coffindaffer points out the overall weak evidence, including the problematic probable cause affidavit and geofencing data. She emphasizes that even if Allen is guilty, the mishandling of the case might lead to serious appellate issues. The conversation also touches on the controversial Odinism aspect linked to some guards, adding another layer of complexity to the case. Coffindaffer concludes that the case's numerous issues might ultimately undermine the prosecution's efforts. **Main Points:** - Richard Allen's confessions during custody are questioned due to his poor mental state and extreme confinement. - Procedural mishandling, including restricted attorney access and potential Sixth Amendment violations, complicates the case. - Confessions potentially containing unique knowledge of the case, but overall evidence remains weak. - Issues with the probable cause affidavit and geofencing data undermine the prosecution. - Even if guilty, mishandling may lead to significant appellate issues. - Controversial Odinism aspect linked to some guards adds complexity. - Case's numerous procedural errors may ultimately undermine prosecution efforts. **Hashtags:** #RichardAllen #JenniferCoffindaffer #DelphiMurders #ProceduralErrors #LegalChallenges #ConfessionValidity #HiddenKillers Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In the podcast "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer discusses the ongoing case against Richard Allen, the alleged Delphi murderer. Coffindaffer addresses the complexities surrounding Allen's numerous confessions during his 22 months in custody, questioning their validity given his deteriorating mental state. Allen was held in extreme conditions, including solitary confinement for 23 hours a day, which Coffindaffer argues could drive anyone to madness. She emphasizes the procedural mishandling of Allen's case, which includes restricted access to his attorneys and questionable probable cause for his arrest. Despite the confessions potentially being credible, the mishandling might allow Allen to challenge his prosecution successfully. Coffindaffer also points out deficiencies in the probable cause affidavit, questioning the foundation of the investigation. She raises concerns that the entire case might be compromised due to these procedural errors, potentially leading to Allen's release despite his possible guilt. **Main Points:** - Richard Allen's numerous confessions during custody are questioned due to his poor mental state. - Allen's extreme confinement conditions could have contributed to his unstable behavior. - Procedural mishandling of Allen's case, including restricted access to attorneys, raises significant concerns. - Despite credible confessions, mishandling might allow Allen to challenge his prosecution. - Deficiencies in the probable cause affidavit question the foundation of the investigation. - Procedural errors could compromise the entire case, potentially leading to Allen's release. - The focus is on whether Allen's initial confession sparked the investigation. **Hashtags:** #RichardAllen #JenniferCoffindaffer #DelphiMurders #ProceduralErrors #LegalChallenges #ConfessionValidity #HiddenKillers Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
