\section{Introduction: the problem of global existence for small data}

\label{cardinal}

Given the Cauchy problem
\begin{itemize}
\item for a nonlinear dispersive equation
\item set in the whole space $\mathbb{R}^d$ ($d\geq 1$)
\item with Cauchy data which are \underline{small, smooth and localized},
\end{itemize}
we want to answer the following question: does there exist a global in time solution? Does it scatter?

\bigskip

This question can be anwered easily if the nonlinearity corresponds to a sufficiently high power, depending on the decay given by the linear part of the equation. ``Sufficiently high'' can often be quantified by the Strauss exponent
$$
\gamma(d) \overset{def}{=} \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{d} + \sqrt{\left(\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{d}\right)^2 + \frac{2}{d}}.
$$
Assume the nonlinearity is of the form $f(u)$, for a function $f$ such that $|f'(u)|\lesssim |u|^{p-1}$. If the linear part is the Schr\"odinger equation, then global existence for small, smooth and localized data follows for $p > \gamma(d)$, see Strauss~\cite{S}; if it is the wave equation, one needs to ask $p>\gamma(d-1)$ (due to the weaker decay), see John~\cite{J} and Georgiev, Lindblad and Sogge~\cite{GLS}.

\bigskip

Thus, caricaturing a little, global existence follows from dispersive estimates, regardless of the precise structure of the nonlinear term, provided its homogeneity is above the Strauss exponent. Below it, it can be shown that the structure of the nonlinearity matters, since resonances start playing a role. To this we now turn.

\section{The notion of space-time resonance}

\label{swan}

\subsection{A simple case to begin with}

\label{bluejay}

To make the exposition as simple as possible, we consider for most of this paper the case of the scalar equation
\begin{equation}
\label{baldeagle}
\left\{ \begin{array}{l}
i \partial_t u + P(D) u = N(u) \\
u(t=0) = u_0,
\end{array} \right.
\end{equation}
where $u(t,x)$ is a complex-valued function of the time variable $t \in \mathbb{R}$ and of the space variable $x \in \mathbb{R}^d$, $P(D)$ is a real Fourier multiplier with symbol $P(\xi)$, the dispersion relation, and
$$
N = N_{\epsilon_1 \epsilon_2}, \;\;\; \mbox{with} \; \epsilon_1,\epsilon_2 = + \;\mbox{or}\;-
$$
and
$$
N_{++}(u) = u^2 \;\;\;\;,\;\;\;\; N_{--}(u) = \bar u^2\;\;\;\;\mbox{and}\;\;\;\;N_{+-}(u)=u\bar u.
$$
As underlined above, we always assume that $u_0$ is small, smooth and localized.

\subsection{The viewpoint of stationary phase}

The idea is, after rewriting the equation in a convenient way, to analyze the nonlinear term by the stationary phase method; thus we want to isolate all the oscillations in a unique factor. Since the solution $u$ displays oscillations itself, the first step is to take as the new unknown function
$$
f(t) \overset{def}{=} e^{-itP(D)} u(t).
$$
Write then Duhamel's formula for the Fourier transform $\widehat{f}$ of $f$: it gives, as follows by a small computation,
\begin{equation}
\label{eagle}
\widehat{f}(t,\xi) = \widehat{u_0}(\xi) + \int_0^t \int e^{is\phi(\xi,\eta)} \widehat{f_{\epsilon_1}}(s,\eta) \widehat{f_{\epsilon_2}}(s,\xi-\eta)\,d\eta\,ds,
\end{equation}
where we denote $f_+\overset{def}{=}f$, $f_-\overset{def}{=}\bar f$, and furthermore
\begin{equation*}
\phi(\xi,\eta) \overset{def}{=} P(\xi)- \epsilon_1 P(\eta)- \epsilon_2 P(\xi-\eta)
\end{equation*}
In order to prove global existence and scattering, it is desirable to control the solution uniformly in time; but the domain of the integral in~(\ref{eagle}) over $s$ grows with $t$. This can be compensated by the oscillating factor $e^{is\phi(\xi,\eta)}$, excepts on the sets where the phase is stationary in either of the integration variables:
\begin{itemize}
\item On the set of \underline{time resonances} $\displaystyle \mathcal{T} \overset{def}{=} \{(\xi,\eta) \;\;\mbox{such that}\;\;\phi(\xi,\eta) = 0$\}, the phase is stationary in $s$.
\item On the set of \underline{space resonances} $\displaystyle \mathcal{S} \overset{def}{=} \{(\xi,\eta) \;\;\mbox{such that}\;\;\partial_\eta \phi(\xi,\eta) =0$\}, the phase is stationary in $\eta$.
\item On the set of \underline{space-time resonances} $\displaystyle \mathcal{R} \overset{def}{=} \mathcal{S} \cap \mathcal{T}$, the phase is stationary in $s$ and $\eta$.
\end{itemize}
The key idea is that the sets $\mathcal{T}$, $\mathcal{S}$, and even more $\mathcal{R}$, are the obstructions to a linear behaviour of $u$ for large time.

\subsection{The physical meaning}

It is striking that the elementary stationary phase analysis above captures deep physical properties of the equation. In order to demonstrate this, notice that, in first approximation, the nonlinear term in~(\ref{baldeagle}) will simply be the product of solutions of the linear equation
\begin{equation}
\label{duck}
\epsilon_j i \partial_t u + P(D) u = 0\;\;\;\;\mbox{with $j=1,2$}.
\end{equation}

\subsubsection{Time resonances}

To understand the physical meaning of time resonances, consider plane wave solutions of~(\ref{duck}): they read for $j=1,2$
$$
u^j_{pw}(t,x) = e^{i\left( x\cdot\xi - \epsilon_j tP(\xi_j) \right)}
$$
(for some given frequencies $\xi_1$, $\xi_2$).
The product of $u_{pw}^1$ and $u_{pw}^2$ is
$$
e^{i\left( x\cdot\left[\xi_1 + \xi_2\right] - t [\epsilon_1 P(\xi_1) + \epsilon_2 P(\xi_2)] \right)}
$$
If the expression above is a plane wave, then the interaction is resonant in the classical sense (as for ODEs or dynamical systems). But this is the case if and only if $\phi (\xi_1 + \xi_2,\xi_2)=0$!

\bigskip

To summarize: the plane waves $u^1_{pw}$ and $u^2_{pw}$ are resonant (in the classical sense) if and only if $(\xi_1+\xi_2,\xi_2) \in \mathcal{T}$.

\subsubsection{Space resonances}

Space resonances can be understood by considering the interaction of wave packets, which are the localized version of plane waves. Consider two wave packets $u^1$ and $u^2$ solving~(\ref{duck}) with given data:
$$
\left\{ \begin{array}{l} \epsilon_j i \partial_t u^j + P(D) u^j = 0 \\ u(t=0)=u_0^j. \end{array} \right.
$$
We next pick data $u_0^j$ which are localized around $0$ in space and $\xi_j$ in frequency. It is well known that the $u^j$ will propagate at the group velocity given by $- \epsilon_j \nabla P (\xi_j)$; in other words, $u^j$ will be (essentially) localized around the set $x \sim - \epsilon_j\nabla P (\xi_j) t $. It is clear that these two wave packets can, for large time, have a non-negligible interaction only if their group velocities agree, meaning $\epsilon_1 \nabla P(\xi_1) = \epsilon_2 \nabla P(\xi_2)$. But this is eqivalent to $\partial_\eta \phi(\xi_1 + \xi_2,\xi_2)=0$!

\bigskip

To summarize: two wave packets with frequencies $\xi_1$ and $\xi_2$ share the same space-time support if and only if $(\xi_1+ \xi_2,\xi_2) \in \mathcal{S}$.

\section{The analytical method}

\label{robin}

Now that we achieved a good intuitive understanding of the problem, we turn to the analytical work: deriving estimates.

\subsection{Multilinear cutoff in frequency space}

\label{sparrow}

In order to get estimates, the idea will be to distinguish regions in the $(\xi,\eta)$ plane depending on the oscillatory properties of $e^{is\phi}$: for instance, away from $\mathcal{S}$ one can take advantage of oscillations in $s$, and away from $\mathcal{T}$ of oscillations in $\eta$.

Thus one needs to cut-off in the $(\xi,\eta)$ plane; this naturally leads to the pseudo-product operators of Coifman and Meyer~\cite{CM}. Given a symbol $m(\xi,\eta)$, the pseudo-product with this symbol reads
$$
B_m (f,g) \overset{def}{=} \mathcal{F}^{-1} \int m(\xi,\eta) \widehat{f}(\eta) \widehat{g}(\xi-\eta) \,d\eta.
$$
Choosing $m$ equal to a cut-off function enables one to consider separately different regions of $(\xi,\eta)$ space.

\label{parrot}

\subsection{Away from $\mathcal{T}$: normal form}

Suppose that a cut-off as in the previous paragraph enabled us to focus on a region where $\phi$ does not vanish, and let us forget about the cut-off function in order to simplify the expressions. The most natural thing to do in order to take advantage of the oscillations is to integrate by parts using the identity
$$
\frac{1}{i\phi} \partial_s e^{is \phi} = e^{is\phi}.
$$
This turns~(\ref{eagle}) into
$$
\widehat{f}(t,\xi) \overset{def}{=} \widehat{u_0}(\xi) + \int \frac{1}{i\phi} e^{it\phi(\xi,\eta)} \widehat{f}(t,\eta) \widehat{f}(t,\xi-\eta)\,d\eta - \int_0^t \int
\frac{1}{i \phi} e^{is\phi(\xi,\eta)} \partial_s \widehat{f}(s,\eta) \widehat{f}(s,\xi-\eta)\,d\eta\,ds
$$
plus other symmetric or less important terms, which we do not detail. This transformation is favorable as far as estimates are concerned: the second term in the above right-hand side is independent of $t$, whereas the third is actually cubic in $u$ (or $f$), due to the relation $\partial_t f = e^{-itP(D)} N(u)$.

\bigskip

As can easily be seen, this procedure is nothing but a reformulation of the normal form method, first used in a dispersive PDE context by Shatah~\cite{S}.

\subsection{Away from $\mathcal{S}$: vector fields}

Just as above, assume that a cut-off, which we then forget, enabled us to focus on a region where $\partial_\eta \phi$ does not vanish. Use then the identity
$$
\frac{1}{is |\partial_\eta \phi|^2} \partial_\eta \phi \cdot \partial_\eta e^{is \phi} = e^{is\phi}
$$
in order to integrate by parts in~(\ref{eagle}), yielding
$$
\widehat{f}(t,\xi) \overset{def}{=} \widehat{u_0}(\xi) - \int_0^t
\int e^{is\phi(\xi,\eta)} \frac{1}{is|\partial_\eta \phi|^2} \partial_\eta \phi \cdot \partial_\eta \widehat{f}(s,\eta) \widehat{f}(s,\xi-\eta)\,d\eta\,ds
$$
plus other symmetric or easier terms. What is gained by this transformation is clear: an extra factor $\frac{1}{s}$ in the bilinear term which helps controlling it for large $s$.

\bigskip

In order to recast the above manipulation in a more familiar setting, we need to come back to the original unknown function $u$. It turns out that
$$
e^{itP(D)} \mathcal{F}^{-1} \partial_\eta \widehat{f}(t) = J u(t),
$$
where $J = ix - t \left[\nabla P\right] (D)$. This is precisely the operator used in the vector fields method for this type of equation! The idea of the vector fields method, first introduced by Klainerman~\cite{K} in the context of the nonlinear wave equation is the following: do not estimate only $u$ in various Sobolev-type norms, but also $Lu$, where $L$ belongs to a family of vector fields which commute with the linear part of the equation.

Thus our integration by parts essentially corresponds to a new point of view on the vector fields method.

\subsection{What about $\mathcal{R}$?}

We saw in the previous two paragraphs that the course of action is fairly clear if one is away from $\mathcal{R}$, and we want to discuss now how a neighbourhood of $\mathcal{R}$ can be treated. It seems that a fairly good idea is to add a cut-off function
$$
\chi\left(t^\delta \operatorname{dist}((\xi,\eta),\mathcal{R})\right),
$$
where $\chi \in \mathcal{C}^\infty_0$ is equal to $1$ in a neighbourhood of zero, and $\delta>0$; this amounts to cutting off to a distance $t^{-\delta}$ of $\mathcal{R}$. This can be exploited as follows:
\begin{itemize}
\item For frequencies within $t^{-\delta}$ of $\mathcal{R}$, one can take advantage of the shrinking size of this set (it is reasonable to assume that $\mathcal{R}$ has measure zero).
\item For frequencies lying more than $t^{-\delta}$ away from $\mathcal{R}$, one can integrate by parts, either in $s$, or in $\eta$, and hope to balance the loss due to $\phi$ and $\partial_\eta \phi$ being closer to $0$ as $\mathcal{R}$ is approached.
\end{itemize}

\subsection{Conclusion: comparison with classical methods}

As we just saw, partitionning the $(\xi,\eta)$ space allows one to use (equivalent formulations of) either the normal form, or the vector fields method, depending on the elementary wave interaction which is being considered. This is often a decisive improvement.

Furthermore, the approach that was just sketched is very systematic and adaptable; it does not rely on delicate algebraic identities as is sometimes the case for the vector fields method.

However, in the case of the wave equation, it seems that the vector fields method (which was originally introduced in that context by Klainerman~\cite{K}) provides a more direct proof of the classical theorems. It might be linked to the equation being second order in time.

\section{Some other aspects of space-time resonances}

\subsection{Outcome, source and separation}

When dealing with resonances, an important question is: can resonant interactions form a loop? To be more precise, define the projections of $\mathcal{R}$ on $\xi$, $\eta$, and $\xi-
\eta$:
\begin{equation*}
\begin{split}
& \mbox{outcome frequencies} \overset{def}{=} \{ \xi\;\mbox{such that}\;(\xi,\eta) \in\mathcal{R} \} \\
& \mbox{source frequencies} \overset{def}{=} \{ \eta\;\mbox{such that}\;(\xi,\eta)\;\mbox{or}\;(\xi,\xi-\eta) \in \mathcal{R} \}.
\end{split}
\end{equation*}
The terminology is clear: outcome frequencies can be seen as being produced by a space-time resonance, whereas source frequencies can be at the origin of one. If
$$
\mbox{outcome frequencies}\;\neq\;\mbox{source frequencies},
$$
resonances are said to be separated. It is clear that this condition will help in controlling the equation: indeed, if it holds true, the worst interactions (the resonant ones) cannot be fed by the frequencies which are least controlled (outcome frequencies).

See~\cite{G} for an instance of this phenomenon, and of its utilization.

\subsection{Cancellations}

\subsubsection{Null form}

A null form is a structure of the nonlinear term such that resonant interactions are canceled; in other words, the nonlinearity vanishes on the points where the phase is stationary.

To be more precise, assume that the nonlinear term $N(u)$ is given by a pseudo-product: $N(u) = B_m(u,u)$. If one tries to perform directly (without localizing) the manipulations of Section~\ref{robin}, there appears pseudo-products with the symbols $\displaystyle \frac{m(\xi,\eta)}{\phi(\xi,\eta)}$ and $\displaystyle \frac{m(\xi,\eta) \partial_\eta\phi}{|\partial_\eta \phi|^2}$.

Are these new pseudo-products bounded? This of course what matters, more than the vanishing of $\phi$ or $\partial_\eta \phi$. Caricaturing a little, if $m$ vanishes to a higher order than $\phi$ or $\partial_\eta \phi$, then the nonlinear term can be controlled.

\subsubsection{Vanishing of $\partial_\xi \phi$}

The most important features of $\phi$ are its zero set, $\mathcal{T}$, and that of $\partial_\eta \phi$, $\mathcal{S}$. But the zero set of $\partial_\xi \phi$ can also turn out to be useful. More specifically: if the zero set of $\partial_\xi \phi$ contains $\mathcal{T}$, $\mathcal{S}$, or $\mathcal{R}$, estimates can be derived more easily. This property is for instance used in~\cite{GMS2} and~\cite{GMS3}.

\bigskip

The analytical explanation is the following: suppose you want to estimate $xf$; it corresponds in Fourier space to $\partial_\xi \widehat{f}$.
The worst term one obtains when applying $\partial_\xi$ to~(\ref{eagle}) contains an additional $s$ factor: it is
$$
\int_0^t \int is\partial_\xi \phi(\xi,\eta) e^{is\phi(\xi,\eta)} \widehat{f}(s,\eta) \widehat{f}(s,\xi-\eta)\,d\eta\,ds.
$$
If now $\partial_\xi \phi$ vanishes only on $\mathcal{T}$, $\mathcal{S}$, or $\mathcal{R}$, this is very reminiscent of a null form structure!

\subsection{The general case}

\label{pinguin}

\subsubsection{General setting}

We want to show in this paragraph how the Cauchy problem for a general nonlinear dispersive equation can be dealt with very similarly to the simple case of Subsection~\ref{bluejay}. Thus consider the Cauchy problem
\begin{equation*}
\left\{ \begin{array}{l}
i \partial_t u + P(D) u = N(u) \\
u(t=0) = u_0
\end{array} \right.
\end{equation*}
where $u(t,x)$ is an $\mathbb{R}^n$-valued function of time $t \in \mathbb{R}$ and space $x \in \mathbb{R}^d$; $N$ is a smooth nonlinear function of $u$, $\bar u$; and we can assume without loss of generality that $P$ is given by a diagonal matrix of real Fourier multipliers
$$
P(D) = \operatorname{diag}(P_1(D),P_2(D)\dots P_n(D)).
$$
As we now show, the oscillatory phase approach which has been outlined above can be adapted in a straightforward fashion to this case.

\subsubsection{Treating the more general nonlinearity}

First, taking for $N$ polynomials of order higher than 2 only changes a few details to the manipulations performed in Section~\ref{swan}; the generalization to $N$ being a pseudo-product operator (see paragraph~\ref{parrot}) is also immediate. This suffices to treat the general case since a nonlinearity which is smooth and translation invariant can be expanded as a series of multilinear pseudo-product operators. The first summands of these series can be subjected to the space-time resonance approach; higher order summands correspond to a large power, and thus can be treated easily, as noticed in Section~\ref{cardinal}.

This method for treating a general nonlinearity is used in~\cite{GMS3}.

\subsubsection{Dealing with the vectorial structure}

Following the path laid out in Section~\ref{bluejay}, phases appear which correspond to interactions between the different scalar waves: for instance, phases corresponding to quadratic interactions look like
$$
\phi (\xi,\eta) = P_i(\xi) \pm P_j(\eta) \pm P_k(\xi-\eta)\;\;\;\;\mbox{where} \;i,j,k \in \{1,2,\dots,n\}.
$$
Aside from this modification, all the above discussions remains valid.

\subsection{A few examples of resonant sets}

It is instructive to examine what resonant sets look like for various equations; we still consider only quadratic interactions.

\subsubsection{Scalar equation with homogeneous dispersion relation}

The setting is that of Section~\ref{bluejay}, with the additional assumption that $P(\xi) = |\xi|^\alpha$, for some $\alpha>0$.
\begin{itemize}
\item If $0<\alpha<1$, $\mathcal{S}$ is always a linear subspace; in the cases $++$ and $--$, $\mathcal{T}=\{(0,0)\}$; in the case $+-$, $\mathcal{R} = \{\xi=0\}$.
\item If $\alpha = 1$, $\mathcal{S}$, $\mathcal{R}$ and $\mathcal{T}$, when non-empty, are of the form $\{(\xi,\eta),\xi\;\mbox{and}\;\eta\;\mbox{positively colinear}\}$.
\item If $\alpha>1$, $\mathcal{S}$ is always a linear subspace; in the case $++$, $\mathcal{T}=\{(0,0)\}$; in the case $--$, $\mathcal{R}=\{(0,0)\}$; and in the case $+-$ $\mathcal{R} = \{\xi=0\}$.
\end{itemize}
To summarize: the case $0<\alpha<1$ is the best behaved; the case $\alpha=1$ (wave equation) is very particular; and for $\alpha \neq 1$, linear subspaces tend to play a key role.

\subsubsection{General case}

We adopt the general setting of Subsection~\ref{pinguin}, and make the additional assumption that the dispersion relations $P_i(\xi)$ only depend on $|\xi|$.
Then, as explained in Subsection~\ref{pinguin}, quadratic phases have the form
$$
\phi(\xi,\eta) = P_1(|\xi|)\pm P_2(|\eta|) \pm P_3(|\xi-\eta|)
$$
for some functions $P_1$, $P_2$ and $P_3$.
A very simple computation gives then, under generic assumptions, that $\mathcal{R}$ is either empty, or of the form $\{|\xi|=R\;\mbox{and}\; \eta = \lambda \xi \}$, for real constants $R$ and $\lambda$.

\section{Related questions}

\subsection{Local well-posedness}

It is natural that the two building blocks of our method: time resonances (linked to classical resonances) and space resonances (linked to group velocity) also play an important role for local well-posedness problems. They appear however under a slightly different disguise, which we now describe.

\bigskip

A very useful tool is provided by $X^{s,b}$ spaces; they  have been introduced by Bourgain~\cite{Bo} and Klainerman and Machedon~\cite{KM}, in order to investigate local well-posedness of nonlinear dispersive equations for low regularity data. They are given by the norm
$$
\| u \|_{X^{s,b}} \overset{def}{=} \int \int |\xi^{2s}| |\tau-P(\xi)|^{2b} \left| \widetilde{\chi u}(\tau,\xi) \right|^2 \,d\xi \,d\tau
$$
where $\chi$ is a cut-off function localizing in time to a neighbourhood of zero ($u$ is controlled only for small times); $P$ is the dispersion relation of the equation under study; and $\widetilde{\cdot}$ denotes the space-time Fourier transform.

These spaces can be understood as measuring how close to a solution of the linear equation $u$ is, for small times. For large $b$ at least, they therefore reduce the nonlinear problem to understanding the interaction of linear waves; it is then natural that resonances will play a key role. A very nice and more detailed explanation can be found in~\cite{T}.

\bigskip

Another instance where spaces resonances come up is the following: Strichartz inequalities can be improved by considering multilinear estimates, and taking the argument functions to have different frequency supports. We borrow an instance of this phenomenon from Bourgain~\cite{Bo1}: if $\psi_1$ is localized in frequency around $M_1$, and $\psi_2$ around $M_2$, then
$$
\left\|e^{it\Delta} \psi_1 e^{it\Delta} \psi_2 \right\|_{L^2(\mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R}^2)} \lesssim \left( \frac{M_1}{M_2} \right)^{1/2} \left\|\psi_1\right\|_{L^2(\mathbb{R}^2)} \left\|\psi_2\right\|_{L^2(\mathbb{R}^2)},
$$
which refines the Strichartz inequality
$$
\left\|e^{it\Delta} \psi \right\|_{L^2(\mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R}^2)} \lesssim \|\psi\|_{L^2(\mathbb{R}^2)}.
$$
This improvement, very useful to study nonlinear interactions, of course follows from the difference in group velocities of wave packets with different frequency supports.

\subsection{Multilinear oscillatory operators}

Operators of the type
\begin{equation}
\label{seagull}
(f,g) \mapsto \mathcal{F}^{-1} \int_0^t \int m(\xi,\eta) e^{is\phi(\xi,\eta)} \widehat{f}(\xi-\eta) \widehat{g}(\eta) \,d\eta\,ds
\end{equation}
(or even the $n$-linear version of these) obviously played a key role in the above discussion. Curiously enough, this class of operators has not received much attention as such.
It would be interesting to understand its boundedness properties, between say Lebesgue or weighted Lebesgue spaces, with a bound which may depend on $t$.

\bigskip

A moment of reflection shows that this question is related to the boundedness of pseudo-product operators (defined in Section~\ref{sparrow}) with singular (say, discontinuous along a manifold) symbols. Boundedness properties of such operators are far from being understood; a notable exception is the bilinear Hilbert transform, see the celebrated article of Lacey and Thiele~\cite{LT}.

\bigskip

Bernicot and Germain~\cite{BG} studied the simplified case where the time integral is removed in~(\ref{seagull}):
$$
(f,g) \mapsto \mathcal{F}^{-1} \int m(\xi,\eta) e^{is\phi(\xi,\eta)} \widehat{f}(\xi-\eta) \widehat{g}(\eta) \,d\eta
$$
(which amounts to ignoring time resonances). They were able to derive optimal bounds for generic $\phi$; notice however that the problem becomes more simple if $\phi$ splits as a sum of functions of $\xi$, $\eta$, and $\xi-\eta$, which is the case for PDE applications.

Northampton 1 United 0
Oxford United's unbeaten start to the season ended at Northampton today as a Sam Hoskins header gave Northampton all three points. United did all they could to claw back a point but couldn't find a way back into the game despite playing against ten men for the entire second half after Jason Taylor was sent off. Try as they might the U's could find no way past the impressive Adam Smith and his defence, with Danny Hylton''s penalty miss proving crucial in the same incident that saw Taylor dismissed.
With Kemar Roofe injured, Callum O'Dowda returned on the wing, while Liam Sercombe's suspension meant a start for the excellent John Lundstram in central midfield alongside Danny Rose. United had to withstand some early pressure. There was a terrific challenge from Chey Dunkley in the third minute as Northampton almost forced the ball home from a corner and an equally good one from Joe Skarz after nine as Hoskins threatened to wriggle clear.
They then had a great opportunity for a classic counter-attack opener on 11 when the ever-willing Hylton held off two weak challenges and flicked the ball through for O'Dowda, whose first touch was uncharacteristically heavy and allowed home keeper Smith to save at his feet and set the tone for much of what was to follow.
That opening aside United were finding it hard to find their usual rhythm against a well-drilled Cobblers side, playing against a background of unrest in the stands. The home fans held a half-hearted protest, raising cards with question marks printed on them and chanting 'we want answers' but on 22 they forgot their problems as they took the lead with a well-worked opener. The influential Taylor rattled an accurate pass through for Nicky Adams on the right wing and his cross picked out Hoskins for a deft header that gave Sam Slocombe no chance from eight yards out. There had been a foul on Jake Wright in the build-up but in truth the Cobblers had looked the more likely side to find a breakthrough.
United have a habit of raising their game when they go behind and for the rest of the half they definitely improved, with Lundstram and Rose starting to dominate the middle of the park. They worked their way back into the match and right on half time were handed a lifeline when Taylor had a moment of madness. With the ball out on the right wing, Taylor inexplicably flattened O'Dowda on the edge of the Northampton box. Ref Neil Swarbrick was right on the spot and signalled that an elbow had been used, dismissing Taylor and awarding the U's a penalty. With no Roofe, and Alex MacDonald having missed his last one, Hylton assumed responsibility but his penalty was too close to Smith who got down to his right to save and leave his side a goal to the good but a man down for the second half.
The U's almost found the equaliser inside 45 seconds of the second 45 minutes, as another excellent through ball from Rose set Ryan Taylor through for a run at goal but Smith was smartly out to deny him on the edge of the box.
Dunkley is a threat when he goes up for set pieces, although he suffered for it on 52 as he clashed heads and needed to go off to be patched up for repairs. United were on top by that stage and the Cobblers had gone into their shell. Dunkley's dipping header on 64 was tipped over by Smith and with their fans doing all they could to pull them towards the packed away end, it was increasingly a question of whether United would be able to beat the excellent Smith.
Lundstram's range of passing allowed the U's to repeatedly switch play to try and use the width to get past the Northampton back four but the final ball just couldn't pick out a yellow shirt inside the packed penalty area. The home side managed time well and spent much of the last ten minutes in United's half to end a week of questions with a positive answer. United, who gave AJ George a late debut, were beaten for the first time since March. This was an afternoon of frustration but not one of dismay. Every unbeaten run has to start somewhere - why not against Portsmouth next Saturday on Fans Day...

The men's basketball tilt will commence right after the prog-ram with Far Eastern University tackling early favorite University of the East followed by the tussle between De La Salle University and last year's runner-up Uni-versity of Santo Tomas.
On Sunday, Adamson will start its campaign against University of the Philippines at 2 p.m. while defending champion Ateneo de Manila University battles title contender National University at 4 p.m.

Contract Act, 1872
DAMAGES- FREE CONTRACT LAW NOTES
2 years ago Admin1
Contents of Article
REMOTENESS:
ASCERTAINMENT:
Damages are monetary compensation allowed to the injured party by the court for the loss or injury suffered by him by the breach of contract. The object of awarding them for breach of contract is to put the injured party at the same position as if it has not injured. In other words, Damages can be defined as, a sum of money paid to the innocent party in compensation for a breach of contract.
Ordinary Damages – When a contract has been breach the injured party can recover from the other party as damages as naturally and directly arising from the breach. This means the damages must be proximate consequences of breach of contract. It is known as ordinary damages.
Example: 'A' agrees to sell and deliver 10 bags of rice to 'B' for Rs.5000 after 2 months. On the date of delivery, the price of rice increases and 'A' refuses to perform his promise. 'B' purchased 10 bags of rice for Rs. 5500. He can receive rupees 500 from 'A' as ordinary damages arising directly from the breach.
Special Damages – Damages other than those arising from the breach of contract may be recovered, if they have been in contemplations of both the parties as the result of breach of contract, they are known as Special Damages. This can be claim in special circumstance under special loss.
Example: 'A' got contract for constructing 'B' house, so that 'B' would rent it to 'C'. 'A' completed the construction within the time, later roof of the building collapsed. So 'B' sue 'A' & claim special damages i.e. the loss incurred by the 'B', the loss of rent from 'C', & the damages which 'B' paid to 'C'.
Nominal Damages – Where the injured party has not suffered any loss by reason of breach of contract, but files a suit for breach of contract, then compensation for nominal damages is awarded. These damages merely acknowledge that plaintiff has proofed his case & won. Also the damages can be as low as Rs.1. Example: 'A' contracted to purchase a Scooter from 'B', a dealer. But he failed to purchase the scooter. However, the demand for the scooters far exceeded the supply, and B could sell the scooter agreed to be purchased without loss of profit. B is entitled only to nominal damages.
Vindictive Damages – Damages for the breach of contract by way of compensation for the loss suffered & not by way of punishment. Hence these have no place in law of contract as they are punitive involving punishment by nature.
Deterioration caused by delay – In case, where goods are being transported by a carrier and he delays the delivery of goods causing them to deteriorate, the affected party can file a suit for Deterioration by the delay. Deterioration means physical damage to the goods.
Liquidated Damages and Penalty – Parties to a contract stimulate at the time of its formation that on the breach of contract by either of them. A certain specified sum will be payable, such a sum may amount to either liquidated damages or penalty. It is a sum fixed or ascertained by the parties which is a genuine pre-estimate of probable loss. Penalty is a sum which is disproportionate to the damage likely to the result in a loss. It is fixed with a view to performance of contract. Under Sec 74 of the Indian Contract Act 1872, it is specified that if an amount is mentioned in a contract as the sum to be paid in case of a breach, then the suffering party is entitled to reasonable compensation not exceeding the amount specified.
Sec 73(2) of Indian Contract Act 1872, deals with Remoteness. The rule of Remoteness of Damages was found in Hadley Vs Baxendale (1854), where it has been observed that, the court will take into account only such loss as may be fairly, as reasonably be considered either arising naturally i.e. according to the usual of things, from breach of contract itself, or such as may reasonable supposed to have been in the contemplation of both the parties at the time they meet the contract as the probable result of the breach of it.
Remoteness of damages for remote consequences is usually not allowed.
The loss from the breach must naturally arise in the usual course of things or it must be such as the parties knew when they made the contract to be likely to result from the breach of it.
In other words, they would be considered as too remote if they are not the direct consequence of the breach or they are not in the contemplation of the parties when the contract was made.
However, if the special circumstances were common to both parties, they would be then amount of injury which would follow from such special circumstance.
Example: 'A' contracts to buy B's ship for Rs.60,000 but breaks his promise. 'A' must pay to 'B', by way of compensation the excess if any of the contract price over the price which 'B' can obtain for the ship at the time of the breach of promise.
A breach of contract claim is a common type of civil lawsuit. This type of lawsuit will arise when one contracting party fails to uphold the obligations due under the contract. The legal remedy for a breach of contract claim will include an award of damages.
Ascertainments of damages are customary in breach of contract cases. Once the court determined that a breach has occurred, the court will usually determines that a breach has occurred, expectation damages should be awarded.
The court will use the rule of the expectancy to determine the appropriate damages. This legal doctrine states that the innocent party in the position that party would have been in had the contract not been breached.
The court will use the rule of the expectancy to calculate the innocent party's expecting damages. It has three steps:
The court will determine what the innocent party would have gained had the contract not been breached.
The court will determine where the innocent party now stands. In other words, the court will determine what the innocent party lost and has not yet regained.
The court will calculate what it would now take to bring the innocent party from where the party now stands, to where that party would be had the contract not been breached.

White Conservative Christians Are Apparently Now Praying To Ask God To 'Expose' Michelle Obama As Trans Thanks To Alex Jones
Winn Sioux Christnot-Peters
Erika Goldring / Contributor / Getty Images
The Obamas are no strangers to being the subject of many a conspiracy theory, but the latest is somehow even more preposterous than its predecessors: that former First Lady Michelle Obama is a trans woman.
This whole ridiculous notion originated on an Evangelical radio show called Up Front in The Prophetic, according to LGBTQ Nation.
The show's host, Francine Fosdick, recently held a prayer call during the show. About halfway through, she turned the call over to an intercessor, a person designated to pray on another's behalf, identified as Jamie.
Jamie proceeded to pray to God for President Barack Obama to be "exposed" as having been "involved in child trafficking" and for it to be revealed that his wife is transgender, among other less than neighborly requests.
"I am asking you, Father, that the general public would see all of the stealing and all of the dirty things that Obama has been involved in."
"How did he get this $15 million home in Martha's Vineyard? Father Lord, I'm thanking you that every bit of money laundering, that he is involved in child trafficking, all of that would be exposed."
"Father, I thank you for exposing all of the corrupt book deals, not only Obama's, but Joe Biden's, Michelle's."
"And speaking of Michelle, today ABC just had an article saying that she's been named the most admired woman in the world for the second year in a row."
"Father, I am asking you that whatever plan they have to have Michelle or Hillary [Clinton] run for president, we call that canceled in Jesus' name."
"And I am asking you Father that the true identity of Michelle—Michael—would be exposed. Father, I am asking you that that whole family, that those children—they are not their children, they're the children of Obama's best friend—Father, we ask you that that whole lie would be exposed for the everyday person to see it, in Jesus' name."
Conspiracy theorist and Infowars host Alex Jones has been spreading this idea that Obama is trans for a while—with predictably ridiculous results.
Jones published a 12 minute video clip of himself criticizing photos and videos of Michelle and Barack. In the clip, Jones cited her "very wide shoulders" and "very masculine" face as supposed evidence.
He also played clips of Barack saying the name Michael and claimed that this was proof that Michelle was once called Michael, despite the fact that there is no way to know from the clips who he was actually referring to.
The video also featured a racist and otherwise problematic cartoon at the beginning of the clip which compares caricatures of Michelle Obama and Melania Trump.
Jones claimed:
"This is a funny cartoon. It's not racist to say she looks like a man."
Black women have long been the targets of accusations that they are too masculine, those racist claims are not a new concept.
Jones went on to make inappropriate comments about Michelle's genitalia and claimed that he'd "had doctors on about this."
In true Infowars fashion, Jones couldn't leave it at that, though.
No, he had to up the ante.
"I'm sorry, it's true. It's a giant viral video phenomenon for like eight years that she's a man. All I know is, Obama was raised by a tr***y in Indonesia. They're into all sorts of stuff."
"I think it's all an arranged marriage, it's all fake. It's all just a big sick joke because [Barack] is obsessed with transgender [sic]. It's like some weird cult or something."
This is far from the first time Jones and Infowars have targeted the Obamas with their conspiracies. Jones is also an advocate for the "Birther" conspiracy theory, which posits that President Obama was not born in the United States, despite the fact that his birth certificate clearly shows he was born in Hawaii.
All of this vitriol clearly misses the fact that being trans isn't a bad thing. It shouldn't be seen as an scandal—and to be clear, Jones and the like were almost certainly trying to insult Michelle—to be trans.
Any people were having none of it.

Inclusion London intervenes in legal case about access to justice for Disabled People
We supported disabled campaigner Esther Leighton in court on 28 January
The case was brought by a disabled campaigner Esther Leighton who used the Equality Act 2010 to challenge discrimination she faced and knows first-hand how difficult and risky it can be. Our Director of Campaigns and Justice, Svetlana Kotova presented evidence supporting Esther's case in court on 28 January 2020. You can find more information about the case here. https://dpglaw.co.uk/government-faces-court-challenge-over-access-to-justice/
We supported Esther's case because we believe the Equality Act 2010 is not working well for Disabled people. On the one hand it is left to us to police and enforce it, and on the other the barriers we face in challenging discrimination in court mean it is extremely difficult and often impossible to do.
The aim of the case is to challenge the government's refusal to extend One Way Qualified Cost Shifting regime to discrimination cases. This regime works well for personal injury cases and protects those bringing claims to court from having to pay the other party's legal costs.
In our intervention we presented the evidence we gathered while supporting Disabled people and DDPOs to challenge discrimination through legal action during our Disability Justice Project. We explained the difficulties Disabled people face, the impact on our access to justice and the wider impact on the effectiveness of the Equality Act. We also asked the court to consider the UK's duties under the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
Read our witness statement here.
We are grateful to Chris Fry from Fry Law and Catherine Casserley from Cloisters Chambers for their support with our intervention.
Stop Benefit Sanctions now
We have compiled evidence on how benefit sanctions are harmful for Deaf and Disabled people. We are calling on the government to stop sanctions now.

Forgotten Classics: Benjamin Lew & Steven Brown's...
Features I by Pieter Eyklens I 08.05.14
Forgotten Classics: Benjamin Lew & Steven Brown's Douzième Journée : Le Verbe, La Parure, L'Amour
Forgotten Classics is a weekly feature where we ask FACT contributors and noted diggers from across the spectrum to pick an obscure gem that they think has been unfairly brushed under the carpet and explain why it's worthy of re-appraisal. This week:
BENJAMIN LEW & STEVEN BROWN
Douzième Journée : Le Verbe, La Parure, L'Amour
(Crammed Discs, 1982)
Picked by: Pieter Eyklens, head of wonderful reissue imprint Aguirre Records.
During the early eighties, there was an incredible dynamic going on in Belgium's capital, Brussels. This was probably caused by the fact that Factory's Belgian division was operating from the city itself. Factory Benelux was founded in Brussels in 1980, being inspired by several Factory artists performing at the famous Plan K venue. Releases on the label included, amongst others, Section 25, A Certain Ratio, New Order and The Names.
Within a year, a lot of other labels arose: Les Disques Crépuscule, Play It Again Sam and Crammed Discs. The latter was founded by Marc Hollander. He also plays in Aksak Maboul, where he deconstructed and fused many different genres, from rock, jazz, and electronics to fake African, Balkan & minimal music. This can retrospectively be viewed as a blueprint for most of the music which was released by Crammed during the next two decades.
The most successful names on the Crammed label were Minimal Compact and Tuxedomoon. But the true power of the label was that they gave their signed bands a lot of freedom, and also put out solo albums by their keynote artists. Blaine L. Reiniger, Peter Principle and [Tuxedomoon member] Steven Brown they all got the opportunity to explore and release an album of their own work or collaborate with another artist – which is the case here.
Benjamin Lew and Steven Brown first met while Lew was working as a bartender in a Brussels bar frequented by Brown and other members of Tuxedomoon. They talked about their musical vision and, in the end, the encounter gave birth to Douzième Journée – an album drenched in percussion and ambient moods. Brian Eno is never far away. When listening to their debut, you can hear miniature sounds which grasp the mind and the heart. The whole album is carried by repetitive percussion carefully constructed by Hollander himself. Also included: rich drones and Arabic rhythms.
The follow-up album, 1985's A Propos D'un Paysage, is as good as this one. If you enjoy the journey you've started by listening to Douzième Journée, there's more to be discovered by Lew, Steven Brown, and other interesting artists on the Crammed label.

In the late summer of 2017, I had the opportunity to visit Germany as part of a summer internship. I participated in a two-week course in Potsdam, located just outside of Berlin. Wanting to make the most of my time, I flew out early, ahead of my coworker who had been to Germany several times before. The idea was to arrive on Saturday and have an extra day to explore before continuing onto Potsdam, but when all was said and done, I got to my Air BnB in the mid-afternoon, amidst cloudy grey skies and rain. Seeing as I had left St. Louis at about 5:00 the previous day, I did what you're never supposed to do when flying east, and I took a nap. I'm getting a bit better at the traveling thing though, because after an hour or two I woke up and took myself out to dinner in the neighborhood of Bergmannkiez, south of central Berlin. My host recommended a burger place along Bergmannstraße, a very happening little street. It was unfortunately closed, so I ended up eating Mexican for my first night in Germany (mostly because I could somewhat understand the menu).
Berliner Dom – The Berlin Cathedral
On the topic of understanding things, I had a hell of a time in Germany. In my defense, the trip was quite last minute, so I didn't really have time to learn much German. My boyfriend, who had lived in Germany, also insisted that everyone there speaks English. Ideally I would have liked to learn the local language as much as possible, because it's polite, but see the previous sentence. So I arrived feeling bad about not knowing much German, but also not panicked because I figured I could survive with a few dirty looks. What he failed to mention is that all of the young Germans speak English. So anyone over 40 working in a train station, selling tickets, and giving directions, for example, I had no chance with. And yes, many German words are fairly similar to English, but I was still having a hell of a time navigating Berlin by myself, at least on my first weekend. For what it's worth, after a week in Potsdam with other young Germans who spoke English, I picked up a decent amount of helpful phrases, which made the rest of my trip run much more smoothly.
And on a final note, I must be an idiot because for all the talk of German organization and efficiency, I had absolutely no idea how to navigate their insane train system. Maybe it was because I started in their central station, Berlin Hauptbahnhof, where all five types of trains run through. Perhaps baby steps would have worked better.
Now, with all that out of the way, what to do in Berlin? Before we left, we got tipped off by some coworkers about Insider Walking Tours. They had visited previously and had several guides they absolutely loved, so my coworker and I decided to meet up on Sunday and do The Third Reich Berlin tour. This didn't work out either because we couldn't connect at the station, so I ended up on The Famous Insider Walk, which I probably would have preferred to start with anyways. (On a side note of all the trouble I had getting started in Germany, American Airlines and Air Berlin spent about a week both denying losing my coworker's luggage, both claiming they hadn't seen it even after it appeared in his room. So my troubles could have been much worse.) Also, shoutout to Brian from Canada, an awesome tour guide!
The Insider Walking Tours were fantastic, but long. There is a small break in the middle, but it is four hours of straight walking for the most part. I definitely recommend it, but maybe bring some snacks (and definitely an umbrella, it came in handy)! Among other sites, we passed Checkpoint Charlie, a beautiful memorial for a Nazi book burning, the Berlin Cathedral, the Berlin Wall, the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, and the Brandenburg Gate. And in the midst of all that I managed to visit the Potsdamer Platz, the beautiful Tiergarten (their version of Central Park), and an adorable little alleyway with artwork and nice beer. On my final day in Berlin two weeks later, I targeted the sites I wanted to revisit and photograph during the golden hour.
There were so many interesting facts I learned on this tour, that I will never remember, but I'll try to provide my favorite fact about every place here (with the assistance of Wikipedia to remember):
Berliner Dom : The original building at this site was established in the 1400s. While the current building looks old, it was only completed in 1905. The building was severely damaged during World War II and was reinaugurated in 1993.
Neue Wache (New Guardhouse) : an all-inclusive memorial to the victims of war and tragedy, from the Wars of Liberation to the reunification of Germany, most recently signified by Käthe Kollwitz's Pietà, "Mother and her Dead Son." A really touching, stark memorial to show the sorrows of war.
Federal Ministry of Finance (building) : One of the only (three?) completely undamaged Nazi structures remaining today; a great example of the intimidating and bleak architecture. The mural is from 1952, and is supposed to show happy East Germans looking toward a bright future. However, after five revisions the initial intent fell by the wayside.
Führerbunker (Hitler's Bunker) : The entire story is one big fun (depressing?) fact, and there is plenty of information to read about it online. Instead of a favorite fact, I'll say that my favorite thing was standing in the square, above the bunker, listening to an enthusiastic guide tell the dramatic, warped history of the location.
Some additional fun facts for the above photos:
Art by the Haus Schwarzenberg coffee shop : The coffee shop is actually located in a little alley which is highly recommended for a visit. After our tour we were encouraged to try the Berlin green beer (Waldmeister), or red beer (Himbeer), a wheat beer with a shot of syrup added. I didn't try it but heard it was very sweet!
Berlin Bear : The Berlin buddy bears, seen all across the city! Not sure if the above photo is one (they tend to be more colorful), but the bear is the symbol of Berlin as it appears on the Berlin Coat of Arms.
Potsdamer Platz : A site of urban renewal after German reunification, bringing city life into an area that was once deserted.
One of the largest remaining pieces of the Berlin Wall can be found near the Topographie des Terrors, a museum showcasing the horrors of the Holocaust, located in the old headquarters of the Secret State Police and the SS (also near the Federal Ministry of Finance from before). Just beside the Berlin Wall is a series of displays describing the lead up to the Holocaust, Nazi Germany, and World War II. New clippings and personal stories make it a sobering experience. One of my favorite stories from the Insider Tour was how the Berlin Wall falling was more or less unintentional on the East Germans' part, mostly due to miscommunications and showing up late to a speech. Read more about Günter Schabowski's mistake here.
Another one of my favorite sites in Berlin? Denkmal für die Ermordeten Juden Europas (The Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe), designed by New York based architect Peter Eisenman. The memorial consists of 2711 concrete pillars of varying shapes and sizes, built on a slanting hill, allowing a different perception wherever you stand. My first instinct, and I assume many other peoples', is that this represents a massive grave site. However, Eisenmann provided no details about how his memorial should be interpreted, and various other ideas have come about as well. While doing research for this post I stumbled across an article in the New Yorker, where the author is less than impressed by the memorial, but I found it quite nice, aside from all the people climbing on the stones (on that topic, read about this project called Yolocaust from an Israeli photographer).
And finally, we conclude with the Brandenburg Gate, once a symbol of a city divided, now a symbol of a city reunified. It was here that Ronald Regan made his famous "Tear down this wall!" speech in 1987. The fun fact? In 1963, to sympathize with the Germans, Kennedy declared that he, too, was a Berliner: "Ich bin ein Berliner." As the story goes, Berliners never refer to themselves that way; the term is saved for their favorite jelly doughnuts. So basically, Kennedy announced himself to be a jelly doughnut. While a fun story, some online searching indicates that while "Berliner" can mean both jelly doughnuts or a person from Berlin, Germans fully understood what he meant and there was no tittering in the crowd.
This post was long, because I learned a lot on my Insider Tour. I hope you learned something reading this too, and for any Germans reading, I sincerely apologize if anything in here is incorrect (please let me know)! I tried my best to research everything a second time around, but I am sure a mistake made it through somewhere. I had a really really fantastic time in the city (the phenomenal weather helped a bit), and highly recommend anyone to visit Berlin. Stay tuned for posts from Potsdam and Hamburg!

Jordan "Turk" Eliades had duel interests in his 32 years at North High-- his football team and his mathematics classes, figuring that between the two, he had the best of both worlds as a high school teacher. After starting his coaching career at Shafter, where he produced 24 wins in three seasons, Eliades became North's football coach when that school opened its doors in 1953. Over the years, his teams became famous for strong line play and defense and he also opened up the passing game to offset the Stars' traditional lack of speed, Eliades, who grew up in McGill, NV and starred at Nevada-Reno as a blocking back for Marion Motlet, turned out eight league champions at North, including one Central Section title in the Sierra division, and shared two other titles, Eliades was a fighter pilot in World War II and was credited with shooting down four enemy planes before being shot down himself and spending more than a year as a German prisoner of war.

P. 391: Mickey's Toontown reimagining announced for 2023!
By Red Benny,

Disney still has a huge 90 acre overflow parking lot southeast of the park off of Harbor and Katella and they have shuttles which disembark on the east side. The east side also where other buses and personal vehicles can drop off passengers. Or at least they used to. Plus all of people staying at the non-Disney hotels access the park in that side.

Cool, I'll fire it up and not open it for the first 4 hours of the day for realism purposes...

I'm just happy for all the terrible Disney anti-fan boys who will have something to complain about once the park reopens!
We've been posting all week on our Instagram and Facebook "stories" from our current So Cal trip but since I know not all of you have accounts on those platforms, I'll re-post that update here as well
Location: Woodland hills
I'm going to assume they will still need the eastern gateway as a key focal point to sustaining growth. Just don't think they wanted to wait any longer on the hotel. Also think they wanted to send a message to all those business owners on harbor who fought them that they don't mess around——this project pulls people away from harbor Blvd now.
Edited October 27, 2017 by Jew
I know that all those independent hotels pull in a lot of dough. That's why the tiny hotel Disney bought was $32 million even though it was a dump. But I wonder how much the resort will hurt them? I mean the current hotels don't seem to effect them much.
Disney paid $32 million because there is no real estate available across the street from the park.
All businesses on harbor will see a drop in revenue if Disney succeeds in drawing the majority of its guests to enter on the other side of the property.
ESRLoop
^This. Disney, after trying the nice way, is flexing with both the businesses and the city. It's no coincidence this coincides with Disney cancelling race events in Anaheim and Disney cancelling their multi-million dollar subsidizing of ARTIC.
I have no doubt Disney would love to have all that real estate east of Harbor.
gerstlaueringvar
Get guests to enter from west side - east side business revenue drop - price of east side real estate eventually drop - Disney buys everything after a certain amount of time - Third park coming.
If they could get everything between Harbor, Katella and I-5 that would be about 156 acres. I could see them incorporating the existing the Anaheim Garden Walk into a eastern Downtown Disney and remember they have a huge 90 acre parking lot south of Katella and east of Harbor as well. I think they call it the Toy Story Lot. Granted that is probably twenty years or more down the line if ever. But I've heard rumors that Disney wants all of that. They also want the final piece of land on the northwest corner of Harbor and Katella right behind Cars Land and the future Marvel Land..
By the way I wonder if they would ever close off Harbor if that third park were to ever happen.
Well, the concept art for the new hotel isn't exactly inspiring. Kind of bland and sterile, looks more like an office complex based on the preliminary art. Would have love to have seen the Star Wars hotel concept from Florida announced instead. I suppose this means monorail stops operating with a couple of years as the hotel construction swallows up the monorail stop.
On positive note, at least they are finally building another garage next to Mickey.
Disney actually had an opportunity to purchase Garden Walk years ago when the thing first opened and flopped. We were initially surprised by the decision to not purchase given the property continuity it could have created, but there were strings attached to the purchase (must construct the planned-but-never-built hotel, must keep Katella facing tenant plan intact, must allow Convention Center to use parking lot, etc.) since the city didn't want yet another dirt lot/parking lot/abandoned lot in the Resort area. At that time Disney was going through its own cuts and wanted it for the land, not the shopping center, so they passed.
Anaheim is the current owner so I doubt any purchase overture from Disney would be met with a lot of friendliness.
^ Interesting
The city Anaheim does not own gardenwalk.
Oops, I re-read my post and you're right. Even in 2010 when the site was up for auction Anaheim didn't really own GardenWalk, just some of the land and a share of the parking facility. They had originally acquired it as part of the "Pointe Anaheim" project and they did sell off a portion of the land prior to the original developer, Anaheim GW, developing it into GardenWalk in exchange for the city gaining greater control of the parking facility (specifically, they sold the parcel at Disney Way and Clementine, north of the fire station), but maintained some land ownership and a stake in the parking facility through the Anaheim Redevelopment Agency (now Anaheim Community and Economic Development) and tight control of the development through the Conditional Use Permit and District Development Plan. That said GardenWalk was really always owned by entities other than the city.
Since the Redevelopment Agency was forced to liquidate a significant portion of their holdings when AB 26 passed, I suppose GardenWalk related holdings could have been part of it. I texted my former co-worker in Planning/Integration at Disney about the current status of the property and he wasn't sure. He said the property hasn't really been on their radar since the 2010 auction made it clear, through the Conditional Use Permit and Anaheim's interest in the parking facility, that Disney would have had to maintain GardenWalk as a retail/hotel district with little control over it's development. From what I recall when I worked on the team studying the property, the bank that had control of it's assets wanted $200+ million for it as well but Disney wasn't willing to offer even a quarter of that (I think the best offer from *anyone* ended up being $70 million, which was rejected, but don't quote me on the numbers). After we were asked to study the hotel portion of the property to try and make a partial offer to build a hotel, but before we even finished we were told to move on other projects. It sounded like that was done because of a last minute request from the City but there was never a lot of interest in developing a hotel there, particularly at that time. Disney was even asked to manage one of the hotels (the Marriot parcel, which I believe is the north east parcel) to try and spur development/bids. It's amazing how much the economy has changed since then...
Because I'm bored and still more curious about this than I should be, I looked up the most recent Conditional Use Permit for GardenWalk, the zoning document that killed Disney's interest in the property in 2010. It's still extremely restrictive, although it has changed in 2017 to allow more "entertainment" venues in place of some retail. It still requires hotel development, still gives Anaheim a lot of control over the parking facility, and still requires a sizable retail operation. I can't find any info on land transfers/sales in the south east portion of the property (where Anaheim used to own parcels) but the Community and Economic Development agency implies they don't have commercial/industrial land holdings anymore.
The property was purchased by Arcturus Group, Avenue Capital Group and Elliot Management – investment and real estate companies.
Don't know who any of those are, but they own it. Arcturus operates it.
They purchased the majority of the property in 2012. Arcturus specializes in "economically" challenged properties - aka cheap properties with high potential. The property was purchased in 2012 from the bank owning the debt but I still can't find any record the land and parking facilities were fully turned over (but, again, based on Anaheim's recent statements and the dissolution of the RDA, I'd be surprised if Anaheim owned any of it now).

Pixar Pier to Bring New Incredicoaster and More to Disney California Adventure Park Summer 2018
Summer 2018 will bring a transformed land for guests to experience at Disney California Adventure park when Pixar Pier opens along the southern shore of Paradise Bay, with newly themed attractions, foods and merchandise throughout. This new, permanent land in the area that is now Paradise Pier will introduce four new neighborhoods representing beloved Disney·Pixar stories.
The first of the four themed neighborhoods guests will find is inspired by "The Incredibles." Here, the new Incredicoaster, permanently transformed from the attraction that is now California Screamin', will open with Pixar Pier in summer 2018. This new experience will feature a mid-century-modern-style loading area, new character moments and a new look for the ride vehicles. To prepare for this transformation, California Screamin' will close Jan. 8.
The popular Toy Story Mania! will anchor the "Toy Story"-inspired neighborhood. A neighborhood inspired by "Inside Out" will be found on the western side of the boardwalk and will welcome a new family-friendly attraction, scheduled to open at a later date.
The fourth neighborhood will be a celebration of many of your favorite Pixar stories. In this neighborhood, Mickey's Fun Wheel will have a new look, with each of the 24 gondolas featuring different Pixar characters and the iconic face of Mickey Mouse remaining on the Paradise Bay side of the wheel. At the Games of the Boardwalk, which already includes the Bullseye Stallion Stampede game, all of the midway games will be inspired by Pixar characters. Mickey's Fun Wheel, Games of the Boardwalk and Sideshow Shirts will close Jan. 8 to begin this transformation.
Ariel's Grotto restaurant and the Cove Bar will be transformed into a new lounge and grill offering sparkling views of Paradise Bay and the new Pixar Pier. Both locations will close Jan. 8, with Cove Bar reopening briefly in April before closing again for its permanent transformation. Guests wishing to reserve "World of Color" dining packages after Jan. 7 may consider Carthay Circle Restaurant or Wine Country Trattoria.
The remaining areas of the land that is now Paradise Pier, including Paradise Gardens, Silly Symphony Swings, Jumpin' Jellyfish, Goofy's Sky School, Golden Zephyr and The Little Mermaid ~ Ariel's Undersea Adventure, will become a new land called Paradise Park.
Pixar Pier will open during the limited-time Pixar Fest celebration, which begins April 13. The celebration will include the new "Together Forever – A Pixar Nighttime Spectacular" fireworks as well as the return of Pixar Play Parade and "Paint the Night" parade, and much more throughout the entire Disneyland Resort.
You can read more about what's coming to Pixar Pier in the November issue of Disney twenty-three magazine, from our friends at D23: The Official Disney Fan Club. Keep an eye on Disney Parks Blog for more as the permanent transformation of Pixar Pier gets underway!

I'm glad that they're finally putting something in the former Maliboomer spot.
Can't wait for a newly themed California Screamin'! Preferably with working speakers.

I think the area will look nice but that name "Incredicoaster".

Looks nice. And I'm curious what that new "family friendy" attraction is going to be,
going in there where MaliBoomer used to be. Looks like a mini drop tower.
So they're essentially splitting Paradise Pier down studio lines: Pixar Pier is Pixar (duh) and Paradise Park is classic Disney.

I'm curious if Incredicoaster will have all new trains or just repainted and refurbished old vehicles.
Sounds to me like it'll be the same trains refurbished.
I curious how long it takes before they re-theme Jungle Cruise into Jungle Book.
Shhhhhhh. I still want Jingle Cruise to come back, instead of only being in WDW.
EDIT: How busy are the crowds at the parks, the week after Thanksgiving Week?
I might do a 2019 visit during that time, to actually see and enjoy Christmas there, for once.
Of course, who am I kidding, for Galaxy's Edge's First Christmas?
It'll be slammed, packed, whatever. Hmmm. Have to re-think those plans.

Pivoting to a Digital Business: Key Steps to Accelerate Law Firm Digital Transformation
Download Our Article
Today's advancements in technology are causing many organizations to shift toward being digitally ready and resilient as top strategic priorities. Like most industries today, the legal industry must also pivot, focusing on digital transformation as a key competitive advantage. Law firms must accelerate important changes in how they operate, using technology and data to act proactively and provide products and services that enhance an end-to-end experience for clients, lawyers, and staff. According to a 2020 Gartner Survey of Legal Leaders, Gartner highlights "by 2025, legal departments will increase their spend on technology threefold." (1)
By digitally transforming every aspect of the legal industry, stakeholders can drive value creation and ensure they secure business outcomes including:
understanding their customers better,
optimizing their operations,
enabling their workforce,
protecting their business, and
providing a platform for innovative growth
Nearly every industry is placing a strategic emphasis on the ever growing billion dollar market that is digital transformation. With such an emphasis on digitalizing business, it is important to understand what a transformation encompasses for the legal industry.
Digital transformation is a multidimensional, enterprise-wide, reimagination of what is possible. It requires stakeholders to evaluate and implement a strategic plan to digitalize every aspect of the legal experience, including such core touchpoints as service and delivery, workflow, processes, team collaboration and client engagement. Law firm stakeholders must evaluate their people, processes, culture, and technology across the firm. By doing this first, it will clearly determine areas where they can impact transformational change through automation, optimization, data, and advanced technologies.
Talent is an organization's greatest asset and is integral to sustaining a transformation. Identifying key stakeholders and change ambassadors prior to and during the transformation will be critical in driving consistent performance. Skillsets should be evaluated to determine appropriate talent for each role while looking at upskilling resources where needed.
Due to the requirements of due diligence within the legal sector, firms must deal with a large volume of repetitive tasks. In a February 4, 2020, article published by TechRadar on the transformational power of robotic process automation in the legal sector, the article reports "63% of in-house legal work is repeatable, fact-based decisions that involve no need for human judgement or interpretation". (2) Data-driven practices and robotic process automation with legal tasks and workflow have far reaching potential on performance. By evaluating legal operations and channels of products and services, law firms can identify opportunities to automate legal tasks and optimize performance, which can result in minimizing waste, inefficiencies, while increasing speed to case or market. To seize a competitive advantage, setting strategies to productize offerings, create reoccurring revenue models, and form strategic alliances can ensure sustainable growth.
The culture of a legal organization will also assist in sustaining transformation efforts. The mission, and likewise the targeted outcomes of a digital transformation, must be clearly communicated and reinforced by legal stakeholders and interwoven into the culture of the legal organization, successfully bridging the gap between vison and action. Every employee within the firm must not only understand the vision but be actively engaged in the process of transformation and begin utilizing new tools. A culture that is keenly focused on transformation not as a destination, but as continuous journey embedded in innovation, will flourish.
Technology is the gateway to transforming product or service offerings. Leveraging artificial intelligence (AI), advanced technologies and data-driven practices are providing countless opportunities for legal firms to reevaluate their infrastructure and automate manual and antiquated processes and tasks. Firms must evaluate their existing technology, identifying a current-state to future-state comparison and develop tangible strategies to accomplish their technology goals.
Implementing Digital Transformation
Below we identify several key areas within the legal industry where firms can digitalize their practice using advance technologies:
Document tracking and recording is of supreme importance to law firms and clients. With much of a law firm's business model encompassing staff and lawyers reviewing and drafting documents, contracts, and other items, firms must streamline redundancies and increase efficiencies to remain relevant and compete. Implementing a document automation technology with industry leaders, such as Microsoft or Nintex, can assist a firm in delivering concise and compliant documents. Additional benefits include error reduction, enhanced customer experience, efficiencies and profitability, knowledge retention, and attracting new clients.
Electronic Tools: E-Discovery, E-Billing, E-Filing, E-Hearing
E-discovery, coupled with AI augmenting tools, has transformed the way lawyers conduct investigations and is essential to a firm's information management strategy. Leveraging complementary platforms, firms can access data in a centralized repository and quickly act upon their insights. Proven benefits include enhancing data accuracy, increasing speed to insights and decision-making, and reducing overall costs.
With advancements in technology, law firms can take advantage of billing software to save time, improve invoice accuracy, and offer a client-centered billing experience. E-billing capabilities, such as those offered from Sage Intacct, provide law firms with the opportunity to create, review and deliver invoices electronically. This saves countless manual hours, eliminating errors, enhancing speed to case, while assisting law firms with efficient cash flow simultaneously.
E-filing, also known as e-court, automates the transmission of legal documents significantly by streamlining productivity, reporting and score carding, particularly with banks and regulatory institutions. High-volume case law firms are leveraging e-filing systems to decrease errors, provide more efficient operations and cost savings, and improve data-driven communications with clients, banks, or legal institutions. Not only does it increase efficiencies and transparencies in court proceedings, but it also expedites access to critical information.
E-hearings
The justice system has adopted video-conferencing technology to conduct virtual hearings in many states. E-hearing technologies can reduce the complexity of the hearing process and document management and provide a streamlined experience for all parties involved. These custom technologies allow users to search documents and present in real-time, view live transcription in a shared workspace, catalog jury books with hyperlinks to all necessary documentation for one-click access, and enforce password-protected security measures to manage access to evidence and data. These technologies can significantly reduce costs, increase efficiencies, and provide individuals with time to focus on higher value tasks.
Collaboration Platforms
Collaboration is the new normal in the workplace. When collaboration is strong, it enhances productivity and teamwork, increases efficiency, improves communication, and minimizes expenses and resources. With collaborative technologies such as Microsoft, clients, lawyers and staff can share, connect and communicate from a decentralized work environment on any device remotely.
Cloud Computing Models and Deployment
Cloud computing provides law firms with the ability to focus on matters of value and less on procurement, maintenance, and planning. Cloud computing models, deployment and apps can be customized to meet the different levels of control, flexibility, and management of a firm. Leveraging cloud platforms such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) or Microsoft Azure, law firms can securely store client data, financial records, legal documents, and other information in the cloud, rather than house data in servers located on-premises, often at a cost which is much less. The cloud delivers quicker deployment, scalability, unlimited storage, and iron-clad security.
The technology landscape is rich with AI and machine learning solutions. From AI that finds patterns in data to machine learning solutions that can automate tasks, leveraging and integrating these tools can help a legal stakeholder gain information and insights needed to prepare for litigation, draft documents and verify work products. These types of solutions are enabling fast and accurate research and minimizing the time and cost of legal work.
Perhaps no other modern technology has produced such seismic shifts in business potential and outcomes than business intelligence and analytics solutions. The amount of data in the legal industry is growing exponentially which means vast opportunity. With data-driven technologies such as Tableau, Azure HDInsight or Power BI, legal databases of past negotiations and verdicts can be analyzed for outcomes and leveraged to gain new insights into outcome scenarios. By utilizing firm data, firms can improve operations, trial strategies, talent acquisition, etc., ultimately maximizing shareholder and customer value.
Based on its foundation, the legal industry demands caution and restraint and protection of client confidentiality which makes embracing these advance technologies a challenge. With advanced technologies driving transformational change for business and client demands continuously evolving, the legal industry must pivot and embrace digital transformation as a catalyst for future success.

The 2022 Netflix original film The Big 4 Is an action-packed thriller that takes place in Indonesia. If you like films with big over-the-top sequences, you'll love this film.
The movie starts off by showing a nun who takes a little boy to an orphanage that harvests organs for rich people. The scene reminds of film director Timo Tjahjanto's past with horror films.
The movie goes on to introduce four Elite Retired assassins Abimana Aryasatya as Topan; Arie Kriting as Jenggo; Lutesha as Alpha; and Kristo Immanuel as Pelor, who ends up saving the children from the orphanage.
In a subplot, their mentor Petrus, played by Budi Rosi, announces his retirement, allowing him to finally be around his daughter Dina played. But shortly after his retirement, he is tragically murdered in his home — on the same day of his daughter's inauguration Into the police force.This sends her on the hunt for her fathers killer.
In my opinion, this is a movie worth watching.
My favorite thing about the movie would have to be the nonstop action. In one chaotic scene, Topan fights off two guys who come into the hotel looking for Dina.
Topan is my favorite character. As he's fighting off bad guys, he is also trying to answer Dina, which is pretty funny.
If you are into movies with nonstop action and nonstop fighting — that keep you interested and entertained — I highly recommend this movie.

Changing Lives>
PROVIDING enhancements to facilities, activities and services which improve the Naval Service experience for all those who serve and their families.
One person joins, but the whole family serves
The complete modernisation of the Drumfork Centre, a 1960's community centre in the heart of naval service accommodation on the Clyde, is the single biggest capital building project in the Royal Navy and Royal Marines Charity's history.
Keeping kids NAVYFit
The first Kings Camp exclusively for Naval Service families took place in HMS Neptune in 2009. It was rolled out to HMNB Portsmouth in 2012 and has grown from strength to strength ever since.
The pilot accommodation project at HMS NELSON in Portsmouth which created three self-contained family flats was so successful that we rolled out more Family Flats at RNAS Yeovilton and RNAS Culdrose during the course of 2018.
Downtime on the front line
The Royal Navy and Royal Marines Charity is unique among naval service charities in being the only charity to guarantee an Operational Welfare grant for the benefit of all those on ships and units serving on the front line. It's our way of letting our sailors and marines know that we're thinking of them and that we appreciate the service and sacrifice they are making when they are a long way from home.
