Does anyone have a good way to explain what an equitable remedy is? And how it differs from a legal remedy?

Jx: California I cannot determine the main difference between the two and when one would apply and not the other? Thanks in advance!

I'll put a little insight in everything.

Okay, so when I was 18 I started a venture in online advertising, I didn't make millions but I made enough to be able to invest in a very bull market and accumulate $100,000, along with setting aside enough to live off of and pay for college.

About two years ago, my ex-girlfriend of 5 years broke up with me while I was trying to grow my business, go to school full time, and work various management-related internships. It killed me, my heart was broke (I stayed in bed for a full day, dry heaving and not eating a single parcel of food). And she even took my dog (A beautiful red Doberman named Ella). I told myself I would never be fucked with like that again. Ever.

Cue to today, my girlfriend of almost two years now, and I, click. I don't know how to explain it but we just get along very well. We don't plan on getting married any time soon but are very comfortable talking about it. Mostly in a joking manner, with very little serious talk.

But, I told her, in a serious manner, that if I bought a house 100% with my money, that I would request she sign a prenup on the house (and it's equity) because I don't believe I should have to give something up I paid for 100%, just in case shit does hit the fan. But I said everything else like my savings, retirement, etc. would go through divorce court as per usual and as per Michigan law, she would still get a shitload of stuff. She says that it isn't fair because she would have to leave her place of residence for years, uproot all her belongings, find an apartment or house of her own, and leave all her memories behind, etc. I cited that if we loved eachother, we shouldn't worry about a divorce any way, and that a prenup on 1 asset is nothing.

We both really disagreed with eachother but stopped arguing about it because I don't own a house, nor have I proposed to her. Plus, we were just sick of arguing and went out for ice cream. But, it has been bothering me. I just don't think there is anything wrong with not wanting to get fucked over and protecting yourself a little bit.

Am I right or is she? If anyone could offer some thought or insight, that would be greatly appreciated. It's 2AM and I'm usually in a dead sleep but it's been bothering me so much I have to post this question here.

Hey CT,
As a local business and recruiting firm the recent Pay Transparency Bill is stirring things up. I compiled some information for reference and context into this new legislation. Feel free to ask me any questions. I will also be cross posting on the r/recruiting subreddit (full disclosure I am a mod).

On June 8, 20201 Connecticut’s Governor Lamont signed House Bill Number 6380, which requires employers to disclose to applicants and employees the salary ranges for positions.  Significantly, the law also expands Connecticut’s prohibition of gender-based pay discrimination to require equal pay for “comparable,” as opposed to “equal,” work.  The bill, entitled “An Act Concerning the Disclosure of Salary Ranges,” goes into effect October 1, 2021

Recently**,** Colorado passed comprehensive pay equity legislation in 2019 that requires employers to include compensation ranges and description of benefits in every job announcement.  Employers also must take all reasonable actions to inform current employees of promotion opportunities. In addition to Colorado, three states have passed similar legislation.

SALARY DISCLOSURE

*House Amendment “A” (1) requires employers to provide employees with their wage range when they change positions and upon their first request, rather than at least annually and upon any request, and (2) expands the list of examples of bona fide factors for wage differences to include credential, skill, and geographic location.

• Failing or refusing to provide an applicant for employment the wage range for a position for which the applicant is applying, upon the earliest of (a) the applicant’s request, or (b) prior to or at the time the applicant is made an offer of compensation; or
• Failing or refusing to provide an employee the wage range for the employee’s position upon (a) the hiring of the employee, (b) a change in the employee’s position with the employer, or (c) the employee’s first request for a wage range

“Wage range” is defined as the “range of wages an employer anticipates relying on when setting wages for a position.” It can include reference to pay scales, previously determined wages for the position, actual ranges for the employees who currently hold a comparable position, or the employer’s budgeted amount for the position.

Suppose something happens and a person goes into debt dealing with it (repair bills, medical bills, whatever), but is able to sue the person at fault for the underlying cause and win. Why can't the debt be moved to the loser effectively making the person whole even if the loser can't pay? ("Defendant is ordered to pay the hospital and legal bill and plaintiff is no longer responsible for those debts, creditors may go after defendant and not plaintiff")

Seems like that would be an appropriate outcome, but maybe there's good policy reasons that this doesn't happen?

To the UCLA Community-

The Disabled Student Union (DSU) is appalled to learn of the decision made by UCLA administration to reduce the number of units students with the Center for Accessible Education (CAE) accommodation are allowed to receive during priority enrollment. Notice of this decision was delivered via an email sent by the CAE on May 28th, 2021. Not a single disabled student leader was consulted on this decision and DSU strongly condemns this discriminatory action. Further, this email was sent at 4:21pm on a Friday before a 3-day holiday weekend, only two weeks before priority enrollment begins. This is indicative of the constant refusal to be communicative, transparent, and honest with the UCLA disabled student community despite consistent attempts from disabled student leaders to open communication lines.

The email reads:

“Dear Bruin,

We hope this email finds you well. The purpose of this communication is to notify you of upcoming changes to the priority enrollment accommodation you receive through the Center for Accessible Education (CAE). Effective for Fall of 2021 enrollment which is scheduled to take place next month (Further details to come as the enrollment period approaches), There will be a 15-unit enrollment limit in place during your priority enrollment pass. You will be able to enroll in additional units, if necessary, during your First and/or Second enrollment passes. This decision was reached by the UCLA Academic Senate, Undergraduate Council following recommendations by the UCLA Priority Enrollment Ad Hoc Committee and consultation with CAE leadership staff and ADA/504 Compliance Office in an effort to standardize priority enrollment privileges among all eligible groups. This adjustment will also support the Universitys’ [sic] goal of preventing priority enrollment from having an impact on availability of courses for students not receiving priority enrollment.”

This decision arrives as students prepare to transition back to in-person learning, when disabled students are already concerned for their health, safety, and access. Further, that a decrease of accommodations leads to lower retention rates for our population. To reiterate, effective Fall quarter, students wit

In 1933 the United States put its insurance policy into place with House Joint Resolution 192 and recorded it in the Congressional Record. It was not required to be promulgated in th e Federal register. An Executive Order issued on April 5, 1933 paving the way for the withdrawal of gold in the United States . Representative Louis T. McFadden brought formal charges on May 23, 1933 against the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Bank system, the Comptroller of the Currency, and the Secretary of the United States Treasury (Congressional Record May 23, 1933 page 4055-4058). HJR 192 passed on June 3, 1933. Mr. McFadden claimed on June 10, 1933: "Mr. Chairman, we have in this country one of the most corrupt institutions the world has ever known. I refer to the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Banks. . ;" HJR 192 is the insurance policy that protects the legislators from conviction for fraud and treason against the American people. It also protects the American people from damages caused by the actions of the United States. For speaking like he did, Mr. McFadden was poisoned by the powers that be by agents of that federal corporation. HlR 192 provided that the one with the gold paid the bill s. It removed the requirement that the United States subjects and employees had to pay their debts with gold. It actually prohibited the inclusion of a clause in all subsequent contracts that would require payment in gold. It also cancelled the clause in every contract written prior to June 5, 1933, that required an obligation to be paid in gold - retroactively. It provided that the United States subjects and employees could use any type of coin and currency to discharge a public debt as long as it was in use in the nonnal course of business in the United States. For a time, United States Notes were the currency used to discharge debts, but later the Federal Reserve and the United States provided a new medium of exchange through paper notes, and debt instruments that could be passed on to a debtor's creditors to discharge the debtor' s debts. That same currency, Federal Reserve Notes, is used to discharge public debts. Take note; the Federal Reserve Notes have no value, as stated by the Federal Reserve! In the 1950's the Uniform Commercial Code was presented to their States as a means of unifying the generally accepted procedures for handling the new legal system of dealing with commercial transactions and fictions as though they were real. Security instrum

I. Proposed Changes

Recognizing the animal spirits guiding the market’s volatile behavior illuminates the deficiencies in the current regulatory scheme created in Regulation SHO. Regulation SHO should thus be amended to bring each animal spirit under control. Because animal spirits are driven by human behavior, it is useful for positive law to be in line with humanity’s natural sense of morality. Therefore, the solution may be found in the natural law.

Natural law holds that humanity’s sense of “basic good” guides our reasoning and behavior.[i] John Finnis created a comprehensive approach to developing natural laws which conform with social science.[ii] Comparing societies around the world revealed several human goods that are commonly held.[iii] Among these are (1) life, (2) knowledge, (3) play, (4) aesthetic experience, (5) sociability, (6) practical reasonableness, and (7) religion.[iv] For example, all societies revere human life, restrict forms of sexual activity, educate the young, value social connections, allow play, promote common welfare over the individual, have systems for property ownership ritualistically dispose of their dead, and have spiritual practices or religions in place.[v] Each of these self-evident forms of good must be treated as distinct and equally valuable.[vi]

Practical reasonableness, a method of working out the natural law (“moral law”), requires a person to abide by certain rules.[vii] To act morally, a person must (1) harmonize commitments by seeing that life is one whole rational effort; (2) recognize all the basic goods and only commit to one if required by personal capacity, circumstance, or taste; (3) not arbitrarily prefer certain persons and engage in self-preference only to promote the basic goods through practicable reason; (4) avoid becoming overly attached to realizing one of the basic goods; (5) not lightly abandon commitments; (6) bring about good in the world with actions that are efficient for their purpose; (7) avoid action that consequentially harms a basic good; (8) foster the common good of the community; and (9) act according to one’s conscience.[viii]

A legal system exemplifies the Rule of Law to the extent that its rules are (1) prospective, not retroactive, (2) not in any other way impossible to comply with, (3) promulgated, (4) clear, (5) coherent with one another, (6) sufficiently stable to allow people to be guided by their knowledge of the content of the rules, that (7)

My campaign’s druid is equipped with a longbow fashioned from the quarter staff of an ancient druid. Every day at dawn it grows acorns which grow into arrows with magical effects. This list could also be used for acorns growing on a druid’s quarterstaff that could be used as tiny “wild magic grenades”.

##d100 Magical Acorns

1. Acorn-tipped arrow: will harmlessly bounce off the target, sprouting into a baby treent which wanders off with no concern for the battle.

2. Stinger-tipped arrow: will turn into a small swarm of bees which buzz towards the target, dealing 1d4 poison damage.

3. Stump-tipped arrow: will create a log where it lands, acting as half-cover for 10ft.

4. Crescent moon-tipped arrow: deals 1d10 radiant damage, has the anti-shape-changer effects of Moonbeam

5. Bark-tipped arrow: strikes a target for standard attack damage, but casts Barkskin on the target, setting their AC to a minimum of 16.

6. Vine-tipped arrow: on a successful hit, the target must make a DEX save or be grappled by magical binding vines.

7. Flower-tipped arrow: upon hitting the ground, grows a 5ft circle of flowers.

8. Sap tipped arrow. The sap is flammable and when lit on fire will not extinguish in flight, will not set the shaft or bow on fire, and (not worn or carried objects only) is guaranteed to set the target on fire. +1d6 fire damage. by /u/B3C4U5E_

9. Explosive arrow. The head of this arrow will explode on impact. +2d4 bludgeoning or fire damage. If as an acorn only, they are more like fire crackers than grenades. by /u/B3C4U5E_

10. Pollen-tipped arrow: Target suffers an allergic, hayfever-like reaction, uncontrollably sneezing and eyes watering.

11. Root-tipped arrow: Upon next rest, roots will grow from target’s feet, immobilising them.

12. Droplet-tipped arrow: on impact, creates the sound of a bubbling brook nearby. Nearby creatures will be drawn to the sound.

13. Bat-fang arrow: allows user to “echo locate”, knowing location of targets behind full cover near the point of impact.

14. Puffball-tipped arrow: A magical, lighter-than-air puffball fungus will sprout from the target, lifting them until the puffball is destroyed.

15. Treebirth: If the target of this arrow takes damage from the attack it must make a Constitution saving throw (DC 17). If it fails, the target begins to sprout small plants from within their body, taking 2d6 piercing damage at the beginning of each of their turns as the roots, vines, flowers, and leaves seek air and sunlight.

Recently in Korea, a multitude of allegations of past school violence of star athletes and entertainment stars has been at the center of news.

This megathread has been put together to provide background information on school violence in Korea and the recent allegations that have arisen. The focus will be actors and actresses, for information about kpop stars, please refer to r/kpop's bullying megathread.

All information and articles share within this post and in comments will be held to our subreddit's standards of news sources and policy against misinformation. Comments spreading unverified information or clickbait content or links to unreliable sources will be removed without notice. Repeated such behavior within the subreddit will result in a ban.

##Background to Current Wave of Allegations

The current wave of allegations began with the controversy regarding volleyball athletes and twin sisters Lee Jae-young and Lee Da-yeong. After the Lee sisters admitted to the charges, accusations of school bullying by sport stars and celebrities followed swiftly. This wave of allegations has been termed "school #MeToo" movement online.

Key Terms

School #MeToo: "학투" (hak tu) from 학폭 미투 (hakpok mitu)

School violence: 학폭 (hakpok) = 학교 (school) 폭력 (violence) (hakkyo pokryeok)

##Individual Allegations

Jo Byeong Gyu (Cho Byeong-kyu)

Initial accuser uploaded a post on an online forum on February 16, 2021 claiming to be a victim of bullying from Jo Byeong Gyu while they were at school in New Zealand together.

According to HB Entertainment (his agency):

> Immediately after we filed a criminal complaint seeking punishment for illegal acts regarding our actor and requested an investigation this morning (February 17), the writer of the false post contacted our company. The writer of the false post turned themselves in and admitted that the post they had written was false.

Following the initial accusation, two more additional accusers also posted while one former classmate posted in defense of Jo Byeong Gyu. See the articles below for details.

Jo Byeong Gyu was previously accused of school violence in [2018](https://www.soompi.com/article/1285959wpp/jo-byun

Go post NSFW jokes somewhere else. If I can't tell my kids this joke, then it is not a DAD JOKE.

If you feel it's appropriate to share NSFW jokes with your kids, that's on you. But a real, true dad joke should work for anyone's kid.

Mods... If you exist... Please, stop this madness. Rule #6 should simply not allow NSFW or (wtf) NSFL tags. Also, remember that MINORS browse this subreddit too? Why put that in rule #6, then allow NSFW???

Please consider changing rule #6. I love this sub, but the recent influx of NSFW tagged posts that get all the upvotes, just seem wrong when there are good solid DAD jokes being overlooked because of them.

Thank you,

CHAIRMAN TAKANO INTRODUCES LEGISLATION TO STUDY RACIAL DISPARITIES IN VA BENEFITS

WASHINGTON, D.C —Today, House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs Chairman Mark Takano (D-Calif.) introduced Legislation requiring an examination of racial disparities concerning veteran benefits. Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock previously introduced Companion Legislation in the Senate in March. This bill calls on the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to assess racial disparities regarding VA disability and other benefits programs based on demographic characteristics and requires the Secretary of VA to brief Congress and prepare a report. This new legislation builds on Chairman Takano’s Commission To Study The Stigmatization, Criminalization, And Ongoing Exclusion And Inequity For LGBTQ Servicemembers And Veterans Act.

Through this Legislation, GAO would assess whether there are disparities associated with race and ethnicity with respect to:

• VA compensation benefits;
• VA disability evaluations; and
• Rejections of claims for other VA benefits.

“No veteran should face barriers to the care or benefits they’ve earned,” said Chairman Takano. “To guarantee this access, we first have to look back and examine how veterans were denied benefits in the past. That’s why I’m introducing legislation to study racial disparities and the way they’ve impacted veterans’ benefits. To truly build equity for veterans and create a welcoming VA for all, we have to document and remediate unjust barriers to benefits and ensure we equitably disburse future benefits to all who have served. I’m glad I could join Senator Warnock in pushing for these critical studies.”

“Racial inequalities in health care access are well-documented. The VA is one of our nation’s largest health care providers, and I’m glad to work with Chairman Takano to pass this critical legislation. This bill is critical to understanding the current VA’s standard of care, and helping to identify and address the systemic challenges that veterans of color may face. We have a duty to ensure that all veterans ha

INTRO/ABSTRACT

The pastime of dunking on leftists is something that brings various factions of the political spectrum together. Liberals -- neo, classical, or otherwise -- find great joy in discussing the new, silly fad ideologies imported from the humanities departments of private universities. Governor Ron DeSantis has made waves over the past week by going further than dunking on leftists; he announced that the Florida Department of Education would ban “Critical Race Theory” from its curriculum, characterizing the theory as “teaching kids to hate their country and to hate each other.”

The rhetoric of the right on Critical Race Theory is admittedly appealing. In a universe where subversive liberal arts majors are entering into the workforce as teachers in public schools and are indoctrinating children into neo-Marxist ideologies, fighting subversion using whatever policy levers are available seems justified. And, admittedly, “critical theory” can be applied in a less-than-rigorous manner by academics attempting to push their pet narratives of the root of the ills of modern society. To some extent, their rhetoric has affected popular conception of race and its relation to political and economic institutions. The re-evaluation of systemic racism that exploded into our collective consciousness after the murder of George Floyd is embedded in ideas of critical theory.

But if the concept of lefty teachers radicalising middle schoolers to hate white people seems absurd and McCarthyesque, that’s probably because it is. DeSantis can get away with this type of incendiary rhetoric and make it seem like our public schools are a battleground between America-loving conservatives and neo-Marxist liberals because no one actually knows what Critical Race Theory is, and his statement can be contextualized in a long history of conservative moral panic surrounding education.

So, in this effortpost, I will

1. discuss the role of education policy in the history of moral panic and culture war
2. explain what critical theory, in general, is
3. explain how CRT manifests itself in school curriculums
4. rationalize the conservative backlash to CRT and other similar ideological frameworks
5. ponder liberal policy solutions to educational warfare

COPA's recent claim for a declaration that CSW did not write the Bitcoin white paper appears to have reminded CSW that he was supposed to have sued a bunch of hosts of the white paper some months ago.

I had assumed that CSW would simply counterclaim for infringement in the COPA claim, because a positive outcome for CSW would make subsequent enforcement against the other targets all the easier.

But no, CSW prefers to be the originator of proceedings, however reluctantly.

The Ontier press release says that Alastair Wilson QC and Michael Hicks have been instructed as counsel. These two are experience intellectual property barristers. I hope they advised CSW that the infringement claim has zero financial value, is prone to being struck out as time-barred, and that equitable remedies will be denied under the doctrine of laches.

While I'm on the subject of CSW, the latest Bitcoin Class With Satoshi episode was another snooze fest, with lots of handwaving and confusion, but no whiteboarding for us to review critically. At one point, CSW's connection froze and several seconds of dead air passed. The ever polite XHL said nothing.

Overall, there does seem to be some commonsense changes which will hopefully, and finally, force MQ staff/markers to grade students equitably/consistently and according to a clear set of criteria. There also seems to be an acknowledgement of the poor review process endemic at MQ (like seriously, why is unit-wide surveying for ALL units not a thing as it is elsewhere?), as well as a push to ensure unit guides, rubrics, and assessment instructions are made absolutely clear moving forward. So, overall, I think there are some important changes, now we just have to hope that staff (or at least the very many I've encountered so far who don't) at MQ will somehow come to actually respect policy and procedure!

BUT... There's always a downside, and in this case it seems to be the further erosion of the Grade Appeal policy, which has now been completely done away with and incorporated into the Assessment Policy which commences 01/07/2021.

Previously, these were the grounds for grade appeal:

• a clerical error occurred in the determination of a final grade;
• the Unit Guide was not in accordance with the Assessment Policy Schedule 6: Unit Guide Requirements and / or the Unit Guide Procedure**;**
• due regard was not paid to an illness or misadventure that had been found to be eligible for special consideration;
• the student had been disadvantaged in some way due to the conduct of an assessment task; and / or
• the student had been disadvantaged by variation of the assessment requirements or feedback provisions laid out in the Unit Guide.

However, the new grounds for appeal are:

• an administrative error occurred in the calculation of the final grade;
• the outcome of an approved Special Consideration application was not correctly applied; or
• the student did not receive the same opportunity to demonstrate the learning outcomes as their cohort due to the conduct of their assessment task or examination being different from that of the cohort.

Importantly, it does not seem to cover the grounds for appeal which existed in the original policy, which are in bold typeface. There are no grounds for appeal on the basis of issues with unit guides and no right to appeal a grade for anything other than proving the 'conduct' of one's assessment/examination was materially different from the cohort; I'd imagine this bar is VERY high indeed. This is drastically different from 'the student had been disadvantaged in some way due to the cond

Over and above Africa

Over and Above Africa was created in 2017 after Founder, Kerry David attended a Los Angeles fundraiser for elephants that outlined the total devastation poaching and the human/animal conflict (population growth pushing animals into smaller and smaller areas) is having on Africa's vulnerable wildlife. “The presentation was informative and beautiful as it had been filmed from a drone flying high over Africa's unique landscape in 4K - but what it revealed was devastating”.

The drone being presented that night was effectively protecting the animals below it by being an all seeing “eye in the sky” It was equipped with infra-red night vision so it could pick up poachers before they ever got to the animals. It’s how they got the name, "Over and Above Africa".

As an animal advocate, Kerry had no idea how dire the situation had become but was struck by the idea that raising global funds through micro financing to support the people and organizations on the ground she had met while researching could be of great service. What makes Over and Above Africa truly unique is that they film the funds they donate to each project and create mini-documentaries for you, the Over and Above Family. They feel this is something that empowers all of us to share with our friends and family to start the conversation around these vulnerable animals and communities needing our help.

Africa's wildlife is disappearing at an alarming pace. Decreased and fragmented habitat leads to more human/wildlife conflicts and deadly encounters on both sides. The results are disastrous. There are often ways in which these issues can be mitigated but where funds are lacking. This is where Over and Above Africa steps in. Many endangered species, such as elephants, rhinos, cheetahs, leopards, pangolins, giraffes and lions lost over 90% of their historic

Key facts

The WHO Constitution (1946) envisages “…the highest attainable standard of health as a fundamental right of every human being.”

Understanding health as a human right creates a legal obligation on states to ensure access to timely, acceptable, and affordable health care of appropriate quality as well as to providing for the underlying determinants of health, such as safe and potable water, sanitation, food, housing, health-related information and education, and gender equality.

A States’ obligation to support the right to health – including through the allocation of “maximum available resources” to progressively realise this goal - is reviewed through various international human rights mechanisms, such as the Universal Periodic Review, or the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. In many cases, the right to health has been adopted into domestic law or Constitutional law.

A rights-based approach to health requires that health policy and programmes must prioritize the needs of those furthest behind first towards greater equity, a principle that has been echoed in the recently adopted 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and Universal Health Coverage. (1)

The right to health must be enjoyed without discrimination on the grounds of race, age, ethnicity or any other status. Non-discrimination and equality requires states to take steps to redress any discriminatory law, practice or policy.

Another feature of rights-based approaches is meaningful participation. Participation means ensuring that national stakeholders – including non-state actors such as non-governmental organizations – are meaningfully involved in all phases of programming: assessment, analysis, planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation.

“The right to the highest attainable standard of health” implies a clear set of legal obligations on states to ensure appropriate conditions for the enjoyment of health for all people without discrimination. The right to health is one of a set of internationally agreed human rights standards, and is inseparable or ‘indivisible’ from these other rights. This means achieving the right to health is both central to, and dependent upon, the realisation of other human rights, to food, housing, work, education, information, and participation. The right to health, as with other rights, includes both freedoms and entitlements:
