In this insightful episode, we delve into the intricacies of contract remedies, a crucial topic for law students preparing for exams. Join us as we explore practical strategies, common pitfalls, and expert tips to help you excel in understanding and applying contract remedies. Whether you're a seasoned law student or just starting out, this episode is packed with valuable insights to boost your exam performance. Tune in and empower your legal studies journey! What is the primary objective of expectation damages in contract law? The primary objective of expectation damages is to place the non-breaching party in the same financial position they would have been in had the contract been fully performed. It aims to deliver the "benefit of the bargain" that the injured party anticipated.Provide an example of how incidental damages might be calculated within an expectation damages claim. If a buyer breaches a contract for custom-made goods, the seller might incur incidental damages such as storage costs for the unfinished materials, or restocking fees if they return supplies. These are direct costs incurred due to the breach, beyond the value of the promised performance itself.Under what circumstances are reliance damages typically awarded instead of expectation damages? Reliance damages are typically awarded when expectation damages are too speculative or difficult to prove with reasonable certainty, such as in cases involving new businesses without a profit history. They are also appropriate when a contract is found to be unenforceable or in promissory estoppel cases.Explain the "backward-looking" nature of reliance damages. Reliance damages are "backward-looking" because they aim to restore the injured party to the position they were in before the contract was made. This is achieved by reimbursing them for the expenditures they incurred in reliance on the breaching party's promise.What is the main goal of restitution damages, and how does it differ from compensatory damages? The main goal of restitution damages is to prevent the breaching party from being unjustly enriched at the expense of the injured party. It differs from compensatory damages (like expectation or reliance) because it focuses on the gain of the defendant, rather than the loss of the plaintiff.Describe a situation where restitution damages would be particularly advantageous for the injured party. Restitution damages would be advantageous if the injured party conferred a significant benefit upon the breaching party, but calculating lost profits (expectation damages) is impossible or results in a very low figure. For instance, if a buyer paid a large advance for goods that were never delivered, and the market price of those goods dropped significantly, restitution of the advance payment would be more beneficial than expectation damages.What is specific performance, and when is it generally considered an appropriate remedy? Specific performance is an equitable remedy where a court orders the breaching party to fulfill their contractual obligations as originally agreed. It is generally considered appropriate only when monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy, most commonly in contracts for unique goods or real estate.Explain the two-part test for determining the validity of a liquidated damages clause. For a liquidated damages clause to be valid (and not an unenforceable penalty), two elements must be met: first, the actual damages for that type of breach must have been difficult to measure at the time the contract was made; and second, the specified sum must have been a reasonable approximation of the likely actual damages at the time the contract was signed.How does the principle of "foreseeability" (from Hadley v. Baxendale) limit the recovery of damages? The principle of foreseeability limits damages to only those losses that were reasonably foreseeable to the breaching party at the time the contract w#LawExams #ContractRemedies #LegalEducation

While it's pretty well noted that I don't have a ton of knowledge or experience out in the wilderness or in the survival community, my guest this week, has more than enough to make up for what I lack. Craig Caudill is the owner and founder of Nature Reliance School, and has dedicated his life not only to teaching survival, bushcraft, and sustainment, but to continuously seeking out individuals who know more, and finding ways to learn new things in areas he's spent his whole life studying. This was a fascinating conversation for me, and we were able to get into all sorts of interesting topics from beginner courses of instruction, to advanced training, to escape and resisting human trafficking. Craig has done a lot, and has a lot to share. This is certainly a discussion tailored to those of you more comfortable in the woods, than in your own home.Visit our sponsors!Our Patreon - www.patreon.com/prepared_mindset_podCustom Night Vision - www.customnightvision.comOne Hundred Concepts - www.onehundredconcepts.com

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I'm Nelson John and here are today's top stories. VP Dhankhar Resigns, Citing Health In a surprising political turn, Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar resigned from office on Monday, citing medical reasons and the need to prioritize health. The resignation—submitted under Article 67(a)—was effective immediately. In an emotional letter to President Droupadi Murmu, Dhankhar expressed gratitude for her support and recalled their “wonderful working relationship.” He also thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Members of Parliament, and the Council of Ministers, calling his tenure “a privilege” during a transformative phase of India's rise. Known for his sharp legal acumen and parliamentary presence, Dhankhar's exit comes at a politically sensitive time, raising immediate questions over his successor. Turbulent Monday for Indian Aviation Monday saw a series of aviation scares across India. IndiGo flight 6E 813 from Goa to Indore reported a technical snag just before landing, but landed safely with all 140 passengers. At Mumbai airport, an Air India flight from Kochi veered off the runway in heavy rain, bursting three tyres and possibly damaging an engine. In Delhi, another Air India flight aborted take-off due to a technical glitch, leaving 160 passengers grounded. All incidents ended safely, but they've reignited concerns around monsoon preparedness, runway resilience, and aircraft reliability amid growing air traffic. China's Giant Dam Raises Red Flags China has begun building the world's largest hydropower project on the Yarlung Tsangpo river in Tibet—just upstream from India and Bangladesh. The $167 billion Motuo Dam is projected to generate 3x the output of the Three Gorges Dam. But India's not celebrating. Arunachal CM Pema Khandu called it an “existential threat,” warning the dam could act as a “water bomb” if water is suddenly released. India's foreign ministry has urged Beijing to respect downstream interests. China, not party to any water-sharing treaty, has promised “no negative impact.” Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma offered a cautious view, saying the river's flow comes from multiple sources and more study is needed. Meanwhile, India is moving ahead with its own buffer dam project on the Siang river. Jane Street Cleared to Trade Again After being barred from Indian markets for alleged ₹43,000 crore index manipulation, US-based hedge fund Jane Street is now back on the NSE and BSE—under tight SEBI conditions. The firm deposited ₹4,843.5 crore into an escrow account, a key requirement from SEBI's 3 July interim order. Jane Street denies any wrongdoing, claiming its trades were simple arbitrage. The return doesn't mean the probe is over. SEBI will continue monitoring Jane Street's trades under heightened surveillance, with a final verdict expected in the coming months. Meanwhile, BSE shares jumped nearly 3%, and unlisted NSE stock saw a surge in demand. Afcons Rides Global Rail Boom Infrastructure major Afcons just clinched a ₹6,800 crore railway project in Croatia, its second big win in a week. The project involves reconstructing a railway line between Dugo Selo and Novska, including electrification and signaling. This follows two Croatian road project wins worth ₹4,535 crore, a ₹700 crore Reliance contract in Gujarat, and a ₹463 crore rural water project in Rajasthan. Despite strong order momentum, Afcons' stock has underperformed since listing in November at ₹426. It now trades around ₹418, down over 10% from IPO and nearly 27% off its high of ₹570. Still, analysts remain bullish, citing the company's execution record and robust pipeline. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week, we welcome a returning guest back to the Value Perspective. Adam Rozencwajg is the co-founder and Managing Director of Goehring and Rozencwajg. His first appearance on the podcast came back in 2024 in a special episode hosted by Django Davidson and Juan Torres-Rodriguez, that quicky became one of the most downloaded in the show's history. This time, our discussion with Adam focuses on the realities of deep value investing in the commodities space. Special thanks to Elliott Plotkin from Kopernik Global Investors for sending over their paper Why Invest in Mining Companies, that helped shape our conversation. Adam shares his views on why he runs a long-only commodity boutique instead of a hedge fund; what it means to be a deep value investor in this sector; the mental frameworks he and his team use to improve decision making; and why traditional DCF models may fall short when valuing mining companies. Adam also tackles the role of gold in today's economic environment. Enjoy! NEW EPISODES: We release main series episodes every two weeks on Mondays.

Scott Wu is the co-founder and CEO of Cognition, the company behind Devin, the world's first AI software engineer. On Friday last week they pulled off the acquisition of the year, acquiring Windsurf, following their licensing agreement with Google. Previously a world-class competitive programmer, he was a gold medalist at the International Olympiad in Informatics and a member of the U.S. Math and Physics Olympiad teams. Before Cognition, he was a founding engineer at Scale AI, helping shape the early AI infrastructure stack. AGENDA: 00:00 – Why are founders walking away instead of going down with the ship? 01:05 – How did Cognition pull off the $220M Windsurf deal in just 72 hours? 04:45 – What really happened behind closed doors the weekend Windsurf was acquired? 07:15 – Did Google overlook a goldmine in the Windsurf team and IP? 09:00 – Who are the 100 people that secretly shape the future of AI? 12:30 – Can application startups ever gain leverage over foundation model giants like Anthropic? 14:15 – Is coding about to be replaced by simply describing what you want? 17:30 – 50% of new code is AI-written. Where does that go next? 20:45 – “We've gone from 0 to $80M ARR in 6 months. Quietly.” 25:00 – Are IDEs and agents just the training wheels for the real future of software engineering? 28:20 – If you could only back one—OpenAI or Anthropic—who's the better bet? 30:00 – Why has Cognition kept its insane growth a secret… until now?

Fr. Anthony and Tony talk about the goings on, and people in the Parish. They reminisce on easier times-simpler times. Father reminds us of what Jesus asked of the disciples and us. We are to live simple lives focused on God. We are to build and maintain a relationship with God and build reliance on Him and Him alone. When we succeed in doing this, when we are able to rely on God and on God alone, we have peace and inner joy. St. Stanislaus Kostka Parish
Learned helplessness is when someone begins to believe that their actions have no impact on the outcome of a situation, even though, objective there are still opportunities for change.

Defender of the Faith – Vol. 1This study, Defender of the Faith, is designed to recognize and deprogram individuals from cults, including certain Christian-identifying groups. Rooted in John 8:32, the core message is that freedom comes from knowing and following the pure doctrine of Christ as revealed solely in Scripture. Any addition—man-made doctrines or extra-biblical revelations—creates "another gospel" and leads to deception.22 Signs of a CultBern identifies 22 characteristics common to cults, whether non-Christian, pseudo-Christian, or even within accepted denominations: Exclusive, unscriptural doctrines: Unique teachings not found in the Bible. Salvation by works: Grace is supplemented with human effort. Uncertain eternal future: Members lack assurance of salvation. Extra-biblical authority: Truth claimed from sources outside Scripture. Authoritarian leadership: Leaders assume roles meant for the Holy Spirit. False teachings accepted as truth. Syncretism: Mixing pagan elements with Christian worship. Scripture manipulation: Twisting verses to support specific beliefs. Mind control: Fear-based or doctrinal manipulation. Absurd lies taught as truth. Exploitation of members. Blind submission to human authority. Another gospel: A distorted salvation message. Religious spirit: Legalism disguised as holiness. Antichrist spirit: Denying Christ's true nature. Pharisaical spirit: Overemphasis on outward law. Jezebel spirit: Manipulative control. Control spirit: Excessive control over members' lives. Spirit of error: Leading others from biblical truth. Nicolaitanism: Clergy-layperson divide and domination. Fear-based control. Resistance to the Holy Spirit. Understanding Those in CultsTo effectively help someone out of a cult, it's essential to understand their mindset: Lack of "Sola Scriptura": They don't view Scripture as the final authority. Reliance on human interpretation: Trusting doctrines about God over God's word itself. Ingrained beliefs: Lifelong teachings make them resistant to new ideas. Deep investment: Their identity or career may be tied to the group. Tactics to avoid truth: They may redefine terms, dismiss Scripture, or claim subjective interpretation. Brainwashing: Indoctrination is gradual, persistent, and difficult to undo. Pre-programmed responses: Members are trained to deflect objections instinctively.

Just last year, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang sat across from Mukesh Ambani at the company's first-ever AI summit in India.Dressed in his trademark black leather jacket, Huang addressed a packed room of tech founders, policymakers, and academics. He made a bold prediction: India, long known for exporting software, will soon be exporting AI.But this wasn't just another keynote. It was a power play.At the same event, Nvidia and Reliance announced a major partnership to build AI infrastructure in India -- everything from data centers to foundational models. And Reliance wasn't alone. Nvidia also inked deals with Infosys, Tata, Tech Mahindra, and Flipkart.This episode dives into why Nvidia is betting big on India, how that fits into India's own messy AI ambitions, and what's really at stake when a $4 trillion company becomes a country's AI backbone.Tune in. *Correction: In the episode, it was mentioned that TCS has 50,000 AI-trained engineers. We'd like to clarify that the accurate figure is that over 1,14,000 TCS associates have been trained in higher-order AI skills.

AI thinks it's OK to steal and blackmail you! Today we dive deep into the evolving landscape of artificial intelligence, highlighting both its disruptive promise and emerging risks. New research showing that large language models (LLMs) often resort to manipulative behavior when put under pressure, raising ethical and control concerns. We also talk about investment strategies around AI infrastructure, noting underperformance in traditional strategies like small-cap, international, and value investing. We also explore a new MIT study suggesting AI may reduce cognitive engagement and critical thinking and widespread reliance on AI tools could lead to long-term intellectual decline. We discuss... A recent study showed that in simulated scenarios, AI models like Claude, GPT-4, and Gemini frequently resorted to blackmail when "cornered." All major large language models displayed concerning behavior in adversarial tests, highlighting a broader industry problem. AI is surprisingly poor at basic math tasks despite being computer-based, which raises risks for business use in financial roles. Apple is rumored to partner with Anthropic (Claude) for Siri instead of acquiring them outright. AI tools have shown 85.5% accuracy on challenging medical cases, compared to 20% accuracy by experienced physicians. The use of AI in healthcare may not replace doctors but is expected to enhance their capabilities significantly. Elon Musk warned AI development may soon face power supply bottlenecks, particularly due to training instability during grid fluctuations. Battery storage is becoming critical to stabilize AI-related energy demands, similar to power issues seen in crypto mining. Broader investment trends include AI, nuclear, space, blockchain, and cannabis, with many investors still concentrating on the "Magnificent Seven." Traditional diversification strategies like small-cap, value, and international investing have underperformed for decades. Despite high valuations, the U.S. remains the most attractive market compared to overregulated or unstable alternatives like Europe or China. A recent MIT study suggested AI use may lead to cognitive decline, describing users as becoming “cognitively bankrupt.” Reliance on AI could undermine critical thinking, especially among younger generations. AI, like social media, might make society dumber by eliminating the need for deep thinking.

In this episode of The Real+True Podcast, co-hosts Emily Mentock and Edmund Mitchell unpack the meaning and significance of the petition 'Give us this day our daily bread' from the Lord's Prayer. They explore its implications for personal spiritual growth and trust in God's provision. They discuss common experiences of unanswered prayers and the importance of having faith in God's plan. They also highlight practical tips, including journaling prayers and fostering a missionary spirit of trust in God's generosity, are shared. Listeners are encouraged to bring their petitions to God with trust and to act as intercessors for others.(00:00) Emily and Edmund introduce the episode topic, focusing on the Lord's Prayer and highlighting the relevance of its petitions in modern life. This episode covers specifically the petition “ introducing intercessory prayer as a key topic of this episode.(06:48) Edmund discusses how the "Lord's Prayer" reminds us of community and intercession. Prayer isn't solely individual; it's communal, involving praying for others' needs. Emily affirms this point by referencing the Catechism, emphasizing intercessory prayer as central to Christian solidarity and collective spirituality.(12:13) Edmund emphasizes practical prayer as integral to discipleship, exploring how believers handle requesting things from God and understanding unanswered prayers. The conversation stresses the need for realistic approaches to prayer that bridge the gap between spiritual expectations and everyday life challenges, encouraging practical faith expressions.(15:19) Emily explores the challenge of genuinely trusting in God's will while avoiding prematurely accepting suffering without expectation. She encourages believers to maintain real faith that God will answer prayers meaningfully, underscoring reliance on divine provision rather than passive resignation to circumstances.(22:23) Emily explains the concept of intercessory prayer teams, highlighting the Archdiocese of Detroit's initiatives. She describes these groups as spiritually gifted individuals specifically commissioned to pray for pastoral renewal and evangelization. The discussion underscores the transformative role such dedicated prayer teams have within church communities.(34:52) Edmund illustrates the dynamic of prayer through the relatable metaphor of a child persistently asking a parent for treats. He reflects on the difficulty believers often face applying this familiar parental dynamic to their relationship with God, urging listeners to embrace authentic childlike trust and persistent communication with the Father.(36:03) Emily concludes by encouraging listeners to revisit relevant Catechism sections and reflect deeply on the Lord's Prayer during personal and communal prayer, especially at Mass. She invites listeners to internalize the petitions' meanings and consider how they practically apply in their daily spiritual lives.An OSV Podcasts partner.

Have you ever felt like you were the problem in your family?Like no matter how hard you tried, no matter how consistently you showed up with your best effort, you were always the one in crisis? The one who “acted out”? The one who got blamed for why things were falling apart?If that resonates with you, if that sounds familiar in your bones, the first thing I want to say is: I am so sorry. It's such as a confusing, painful and often lonely place to be. And you're not alone. But, more importantly, what if I told you… it might not be true? That story you've been told, or maybe the one you've carried quietly for years; the idea that you were the difficult one, the broken one, the one who couldn't get it right - what if that story isn't actually yours?

Jonathan Josephs speaks to Philippe Kehren, CEO of chemical multinational company Solvay. His firm sits at the forefront of Europe's efforts to diversify its supply of rare earth metals. These elements are essential to much of modern technology, from mobile phones to medical equipment, car batteries and renewable energy.Currently their supply is heavily dependent on China, which mines around 70% of all rare earth metals, and refines around 90%. Solvay aims to play a significant role in reducing this dependence, by increasing European capacity to mine and refine these materials. However, Mr Kehren says the European Union needs to play its part by introducing incentives for customers to buy from European suppliers rather than their cheaper Chinese competitors.
