Thinking too highly of higher ed
FILE - In this Aug. 30, 2012, file photo, people are led on a tour on the campus of Harvard University in Cambridge, Mass. (Elise Amendola/AP)
By Peter Thiel
Peter Thiel, an investor and entrepreneur, is author of "Zero to One: Notes on Startups, or How to Build the Future."
Perhaps the least controversial thing that President Obama ever said was that "in the coming decades, a high school diploma is not going to be enough. Folks need a college degree." This vision is commonplace, but it implies a bleak future where everyone must work harder just to stay in place, and it's just not true. Nothing forces us to funnel students into a tournament that bankrupts the losers and turns the winners into conformists. But that's what will happen until we start questioning whether college is our only option.
Is higher education an investment? Everyone knows that college graduates earn more than those without degrees. Maybe that earning power comes from learning valuable skills, networking with smart people or obtaining a recognized credential. Well, maybe — it's hard to say exactly, since "college" bundles so many different things into one arbitrary package. And if all the most ambitious kids in our society go to college just because it's the conventional thing to do, then what happens on campus might not matter, anyway. The same kids would probably enjoy a wage premium even if they spent four years in the Peace Corps instead.
Or is college mostly about consumption? One look at a college brochure suggests that college students consume much more avidly than they invest. That's why schools compete to attract student-consumers by furnishing a lively singles scene with plenty of time and space to party in glamorous surroundings. Or is college really insurance? Parents who despair of all the partying reassure themselves that college doesn't have to guarantee a bright future so long as it wards off career disaster — sort of how nobody expects to make money buying car insurance.
But what if higher education is really just the final stage of a competitive tournament? From grades and test results through the U.S. News & World Report rankings of the colleges themselves, higher education sorts us all into a hierarchy. Kids at the top enjoy prestige because they've defeated everybody else in a competition to reach the schools that proudly exclude the most people. All the hard work at Harvard is done by the admissions officers who anoint an already-proven hypercompetitive elite. If that weren't true — if superior instruction could explain the value of college — then why not franchise the Ivy League? Why not let more students benefit? It will never happen because the top U.S. colleges draw their mystique from zero-sum competition.
This tournament is obviously bad for the losers, who end up shut out of a self-satisfied "meritocratic" elite. But it's bad for the winners, too, because it trains them to compete on old career tracks such as management consulting and investment banking instead of doing something new. And it's worst of all for society at large because our economy stagnates when its leaders jockey to collect rents from old industries instead of working to create new ones that could raise the standard of living for everyone.
Today that's the tournament-style economy we have. Median household wages are actually lower than they were in 1989 (adjusted for inflation), so Americans have flocked to the few things that seem to promise an escape from stagnation. In the 2000s, that was real estate. Was housing an investment? A way to consume bigger houses? Or was it a kind of middle-class insurance policy when everything else looked broken? Nobody thought very hard about it because everybody believed that house prices would always go up.
Now education has taken the place of housing. If a college degree always means higher wages, then everyone should get a college degree: That's the conventional wisdom encapsulated by Obama. But how can everyone win a zero-sum tournament? No single path can work for everyone, and the promise of such an easy path is a sign of a bubble.
Of course, you can't become successful just by dropping out of college. But you can't become successful just by going to college, either, or by following any formula. Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg aren't famous because of the similar ways in which they left school. We know their names because of what each of them did differently from everybody else.
Learning from dropouts doesn't require closing colleges but rather questioning them carefully. Higher education holds itself out as a kind of universal church, outside of which there is no salvation. Critics are cast as heretics or schismatics endangering the flock. But our greatest danger comes from the herd instinct that drives us to competition and crowds out difference.
A Reformation is coming, and its message will be the same as it was 500 years ago: Don't outsource your future to a big institution. You need to figure it out for yourself.

Southern rock heroes the Black Crowes brought their classic sound to the picturesque town of Oxford, Mississippi for a special performance at a former silent movie house in the "Little Easy." Built in 1913, the Lyric Theatre provided a historic setting for the band's first Artists Den appearance, a rollicking concert featuring both Black Crowes fan favorites and songs from their album, Before the Frost.
The Black Crowes – a rock band Billboard coined an "Allmans-to-Zappa synthesis of influences" – broke onto the scene with their multiplatinum 1990 debut, Shake Your Moneymaker. The Georgia band has since released six studio albums, which have racked up worldwide sales exceeding 19 million. The Crowes' 2008 LP, Warpaint, includes, according to Rolling Stone, "some of the best range and craft of the band's career" – not a small feat for a group that's been on the scene for two full decades.
The Lyric Theater has accrued a rich history since its inception in the late 1800's. Originally a stable owned by the family of esteemed author, William Faulkner, it was converted into a theater during the 1920's for performances and silent films, and was thus titled The Lyric Theatre. Due to the rising popularity of film, it eventually became Oxford's first movie theater. In 1949, William Faulkner attended the theater's world premiere of MGM's "Intruder in the Dust", a film adapted from his novel of the same name. The Lyric ceased its operations as a movie theater in the 1970's and was abandoned until the early 1980's, when it was restored and converted into office spaces and a health center. In 2007, The Lyric underwent a second restoration and was returned to its original purpose as a theater. It began operating again on July 3rd, 2008.

Athletics headline Week 2 at the Pacific Games
BY: Loop Pacific
10:29, July 15, 2019
Week two of the Pacific Games has got underway in Samoa, with the start of the athletics competition.
Medals will be dished out today in the men's javelin, women's shot put and the men's 3000m steeplechase, while the heats for one of the glamour events, the men's 100m, will also unfold at Apia Park.
Netball, touch rugby and shooting will also make their first appearance of the Games today.
Competition largely took a break on Sunday, as is tradition, although Pacific Games Council chief executive Andrew Minogue said they did have to make one exception.
"The only thing we've had to really manage which is a little bit out of the ordinary is the tennis. We've had some very late-night finishes at tennis and we did a quick wraparound this morning to allow tennis to resume today.
"It's Sunday - traditionally it's not a day of competition at the Pacific Games but because of the backlog the countries all agreed we should just do it and get back on top of the schedule."
Taekwondo, triathlon, power-lifting, judo and 3x3 basketball will also get underway this week, while the boxing competition is being held on Savaii from Tuesday.

It's all connected! Thyroid hormone, Testosterone, Prostate Cancer and Vitamin A.
BCO, the enzyme that makes vitamin A from B-carotene, may also be responsible for making Testosterone.
A study testing mice found that when mice lacked an enzyme (BCO) which converts beta-carotene to vitamin A (retinol) they had lower Testosterone levels and delayed prostate growth.
It is a misconception that testosterone causes prostate cancer. In fact low T early in life may increase the risk of prostate cancer later on in life.
Make sure your thyroid is function is optimal (not just OK!) for the sake of your testosterone and prostate health!

Q: Is there a way in google cloud to block attempt to access specific urls I have a VM instance that receives a lot of spam/bot traffic attempting to hack the instance such as New Request to /blog/wp-includes/wlwmanifest.xml. Although none of these are successful it adds strain to the instance.
Is it possible to block specific endpoint attempts on a google cloud network?
So far I can only find a way to block specific Ip addresses using the firewall.
I'm looking for something similar to the answer here: https://community.cloudflare.com/t/is-there-a-way-to-prevent-wp-path-probing/204761

A: Google Cloud Firewall works on the Level 3 OSI model, HTTP/HTTPS works on the Level 7 OSI model. As a result, you won't be able to use Google Cloud Firewall in this case.
As a solution you can use Web Application Firewall (WAF) which works on the Level 7 OSI model. Google Cloud Platform provides WAF as a service: Google Cloud Armor.
Please have a look at the documentation About Google Cloud Armor security policies:

by using the Google Cloud Armor custom rules language reference, you
can create custom conditions that match on various attributes of the
incoming traffic, such as the URL path, request method, or request
header values.

and at the section Allow or deny traffic for a request URI that matches a regular expression:

The following expression matches with requests that contain the string
bad_path in the URI:
request.path.matches('/bad_path/')

Q: Looking for a more efficient way to avoid getting an ArrayIndexOutOfBounds exception while looping through the neighbors of each entry in a 2D array Iam trying to look at all neighbors of each entry in a two dimensional array using a foreach loop and two for loops. The problem iam running into is that I was getting an ArrayIndexOutOfBounds exception when looking through the edge cells. The only way I found to solve it was this really inefficient if else condition. I do not want to loop my array at the edges. Is there any more efficient way of getting around this issue?
        foreach (Cell cell in playField._playField)
        {
            for (int dx = -1; dx <= 1; dx++)
            {
                for (int dy = -1; dy <= 1; dy++)
                {
                    if (cell.PositionX + dx < 0 || cell.PositionX + dx >= XSize || cell.PositionY + dy < 0 || cell.PositionY + dy >= YSize)
                        break;

                    else
                    cell.Neighbors = _playField[cell.PositionX + dx, cell.PositionY + dy].IsMine ? cell.Neighbors + 1 : cell.Neighbors;
                }
            }
        }

A: I call that the "Playing Field" problem of game design. I see two solutions:
a) Your "inefficient" construct of conditions. (my biggest worry about those is usually messing up. Those checks should have no relevant performance impact).
b) Add a "border" of cells around the Playing field. This border is not displayed. It exists purely so you can avoid that construct of conditions - you can stop all game-code if you hit a "border" cell during the neighbour check.
A Chess Board in memory would be 10x10 with this solution, with only the inner 8x8 making it onto the screen.


Seven years ago one of my books, "The Business of Streaming and Digital Media" was published in the NAB Executive Technology Briefing Series and I am now making the 264 page book available as a free PDF download.
While the terms "streaming media" and "digital media" are very generic terms these days, and mean different things to different people, the business behind online video is the key. The kind of technology used to deliver audio and video, be it streaming, download, live, on-demand etc. really no longer matters. It's about using the right mix of multiple distribution technologies to reach the right audience with the right type of content and that's what this book is all about – applying the right business models. You may re-purpose content from the book as you like, as long as you don't charge for it and you credit the source back to Dan Rayburn.

January 2016 - Philippine Supreme Court Decisions/Resolutions

G.R. No. 172919, January 13, 2016 - TIMOTEO BACALSO AND DIOSDADA BACALSO, Petitioners, v. GREGORIA B. ACA-AC, EUTIQUIA B. AGUILA, JULIAN BACUS AND EVELYN SYCHANGCO, Respondents.
G.R. No. 172919, January 13, 2016
TIMOTEO BACALSO AND DIOSDADA BACALSO, Petitioners, v. GREGORIA B. ACA-AC, EUTIQUIA B. AGUILA, JULIAN BACUS AND EVELYN SYCHANGCO, Respondents.
REYES, J.:
Before this Court is a Petition for Review on Certiorari1 under Rule 45 of the Rules of Court seeking to annul and set aside the Decision2 dated December 14, 2005 and the Resolution3 dated May 30, 2006 of the Court of Appeals (CA) in CA-G.R. CV No. 67516. The CA affirmed the Decision dated April 19, 2000 of the Regional Trial Court (RTC) of Cebu City, Branch 11, in Civil Case No. CEB-17994. The RTC ruled that the Deed of Absolute Sale dated October 15, 1987 between herein respondents Gregoria B. Aca-Ac, Eutiquia B. Aguila and Julian Bacus (Julian) (Bacus siblings) and herein petitioner Timoteo Bacalso (Timoteo) was void, for want of consideration.chanRoblesvirtualLawlibrary
The Bacus siblings were the registered owners of a parcel of land described as Lot No. I 809-G-2 located in San Roque, Talisay, Cebu with an area of 1,200 square meters and covered by Transfer Certificate of Title (TCT) No. 59260. The Bacus siblings inherited the said property from their mother Matea Bacalso (Matea).4chanroblesvirtuallawlibrary
On October 15, 1987, the Bacus siblings executed a Deed of Absolute Sale conveying a portion of Lot No. 1809-G-2 with an area of 271 sq m, described as Lot No. 1809-G-2-C, in favor of their cousin, Timoteo for and in consideration of the amount of P8,000.00.5chanroblesvirtuallawlibrary
On March 4, 1988, however, Timoteo, together with his sisters Lucena and Victoria and some of his cousins filed a complaint for declaration of nullity of documents, certificates of title, reconveyance of real property and damages against the Bacus siblings and four other persons before the RTC oI Cebu City, Branch 12, and was docketed as Civil Case No. CEB-6693. They claimed that they are co-owners of the three-fourths portion of Lot No. 1809-G (which Lot No. 1809-G-2-C was originally part of) as Matea had paid for the said property for and in behalf of her brother Alejandro (father of petitioner Timoteo) and sisters Perpetua and Liberata, all surnamed Bacalso.6chanroblesvirtuallawlibrary
On November 29, 1989, the RTC found that Matea was the sole owner of Lot No. 1809-G and affirmed the validity of the conveyances of portions of Lot No. 1809-G made by her children. The same was affirmed by the CA in a Decision dated March 23, 1992 and became final and executory on April 15, 1992.7chanroblesvirtuallawlibrary
Undaunted, Timoteo and Diosdada Bacalso (petitioners) filed on October 26, 1995, a complaint for declaration of nullity of contract and certificates of title, reconveyance and damages against the Bacus siblings, this time claiming ownership over Lot No. 1809-G-2-C by virtue of the Deed of Absolute Sale dated October 15, 1987. They claimed, however, that the Bacus siblings reneged on their promise to cause the issuance of a new TCT in the name of the petitioners.8chanroblesvirtuallawlibrary
Moreover, the petitioners alleged that the Bacus siblings have caused the subdivision of Lot No. 1 809-G-2 into four lots and one of which is Lot No. 1809-G-2-C which is now covered by TCT No. 70783. After subdividing the property, the Bacus siblings, on February 11, 1992, without knowledge of the petitioners, sold Lot No. 1809-G-2-C again to respondent Evelyn Sychangco (Sychangco) and that TCT No. 74687 covering the same property was issued in her name.9chanroblesvirtuallawlibrary
In their answer, the Bacus siblings denied the allegations of the petitioners and claimed that the alleged sale of Lot No. 1809-G-2-C in favor of the petitioners did not push through because the petitioners foiled to pay the purchase price thereof.10chanroblesvirtuallawlibrary
For her part, Sychangco averred that she is a buyer in good faith and for value as she relied on what appeared in the certificate of title of the property which appeared to be a clean title as no lien or encumbrance was annotated therein.11chanroblesvirtuallawlibrary
On April 19, 2000, the RTC issued a Decision declaring the Deed of Absolute Sale dated October 15, 1987 void for want of consideration after finding that the petitioners failed to pay the price of the subject property. Moreover, the RTC held that even granting that the sale between the Bacus siblings and the petitioners was valid, the petitioners still cannot ask for the rescission of the sale of the disputed portion to Sychangco as the latter was a buyer in good faith, thus has a better right to the property.12chanroblesvirtuallawlibrary
Aggrieved by the foregoing disquisition of the RTC, the petitioners interposed an appeal with the CA. On December 14, 2005, however, the CA affirmed the ruling of the RTC. The petitioners sought a reconsideration13 of the CA decision but it was denied in a Resolution dated May 30, 2006.chanRoblesvirtualLawlibrary
The petitioners assign the following errors of the CA:
THE |CA| SERIOUSLY ERRED WHEN IT RELIED TOO MUCH ON THE RESPECTIVE ORAL TESTIMONIES OF RESPONDENTS JULIAN BACUS AND EVELYN SYCHANGCO UTTERLY DISREGARDING THE ORAL TESTIMONIES OF PETITIONER TIMOTEO BAG ALSO AND THE LATTER'S WITNESS ROBERTO YBAS AND THE DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE OF THE PETITIONERS, THE DULY EXECUTED AND NOTARIZED DEED OF ABSOLUTE SALE COVERING THE SUBJECT LOT NO. 1809-G-2-C.chanRoblesvirtualLawlibrary
THE [CA] SERIOUSLY ERRED WHEN IT RULED THAI' THE DEED OF ABSOLUTE SALE DATED 15 OCTOBER 1987 IS NULL AND VOID AB INITIO FOR FAILURE OR WANT OF CONSIDERATION.chanRoblesvirtualLawlibrary
THE [CA] SERIOUSLY ERRED WHEN IT DID NOT CONSIDER THE FACT THAT THE DEED OF ABSOLUTE SALE DATED 15 OCTOBER 1987 WAS NOTARIZED, HENCE, A PUBLIC DOCUMENT WHICH ENJOYS THE PRESUMPTION OF REGULARITY.chanRoblesvirtualLawlibrary
THE [CA] SERIOUSLY ERRED WHEN IT DID NOT RULE THAT ON 15 OCTOBER 1987, THE [BAGUS SIBLINGS] WERE NO LONGER OWNERS AND POSSESSORS OF THE SUBJECT LOT AS THE SAME WAS ALREADY TRANSFERRED TO THE PETITIONERS BY REASON OF THE MERE EXECUTION OF A DEED OF SALE IN A PUBLIC DOCUMENT, AS IN THIS CASE.14chanrobleslaw
Essentially, the issues presented to the Court for resolution could be reduced into whether the CA erred in holding that the Deed of Absolute Sale dated October 15, 1987 is void for want of consideration.chanRoblesvirtualLawlibrary
Ruling of the Court
The petition is bereft of merit.
The central issue to be resolved in the present controversy is the validity of the Deed of Absolute Sale between the petitioners and the Bacus siblings. "Such issue involves a question of fact, and settled jurisprudence dictates that, subject to a few exceptions, only questions of law may be brought before the Court via a petition for review on certiorari."15chanroblesvirtuallawlibrary
The Court has repeatedly held that it is not necessitated to examine, evaluate or weigh the evidence considered in the lower courts all over again. "This is especially true where the trial court's factual findings are adopted and affirmed by the CA as in the present case. Factual findings of the trial court, affirmed by the CA, are final and conclusive and may not be reviewed on appeal."16chanroblesvirtuallawlibrary
Although the Court recognized several exceptions to the limitation of an appeal by certiorari to only questions of law, including: (1) when the findings are grounded entirely on speculation, surmises, or conjectures; (2) when the interference made is manifestly mistaken, absurd, or impossible; (3) when there is grave abuse of discretion; (4) when the judgment is based on a misapprehension of facts; (5) when the findings of fact are conflicting; (6) when in making its findings, the CA went beyond the issues of the case, or its findings are contrary to the admissions of both the appellant and the appellee; (7) when the findings are contrary to those of the trial court; (8) when the findings are conclusions without citation of specific evidence on which they are based; (9) when the facts set forth in the petition as well as in the petitioner's main and reply briefs are not disputed by the respondent; and (10) when the findings of fact are premised on the supposed absence of evidence and contradicted by the evidence on record,17 the present appeal does not come under any of the exceptions.
In any even!, the Court has carefully reviewed the records of the instant case and found no reason to disturb the findings of the RTC as affirmed by the CA.
Under the Civil Code, a contract is a meeting of minds, with respect to the other, to give something or to render some service. Article 1318 provides:
Art. 1318. There is no contract unless the following requisites concur:ChanRoblesVirtualawlibrary
(1) Consent of the contracting parties;
(2) Object certain which is the subject matter of the contract;
(3) Cause of the obligation which is established.
In the case at bar, the petitioners argue that the Deed of Absolute Sale has all the requisites of a valid contract. The petitioners contend that there is no lack of consideration that would prevent the existence of a valid contract. They assert that the testimonies of Timoteo and witness Roberto Ybas sufficiently established that the purchase price of P8,000.00 for Lot No. 1809-G-2-C was paid to Julian at Sto. Nino Church in Cebu City before the execution of the Deed of Absolute Sale. They also claim that even assuming that they failed to pay the purchase price, such failure does not render the sale void for being fictitious or simulated, rather, there is only non-payment of the consideration within the period agreed upon for payment.18chanroblesvirtuallawlibrary
The Court does not agree.
Contrary to the petitioners' claim, this is not merely a case of failure to pay the purchase price which can only amount to a breach of obligation with rescission as the proper remedy. As correctly observed by the RTC, the disputed sale produces no effect and is considered void ab initio for failure to or want of consideration since the petitioner failed to pay the consideration stipulated in the Deed of Absolute Sale. The trial court's discussion on the said issue, as affirmed by the CA, is hereby quoted:
To begin with, the Court hereby states that, from the totality of the evidence adduced in this case which it scrutinized and evaluated, it has come up with a finding that there was failure or want of consideration of the Deed of Sale of Lot 1809-G-2-C executed in favor of the [petitioners] on October 15, 1987. The Court is morally and sufficiently convinced that [Timoteo] had not paid to the [Bacus siblings] the price for the said land. This fact has been competently and preponderantly established by the testimony in court of [Julian]. [Julian] made the following narration in his testimony:
Sometime in October 1987, he and his two sisters agreed to sell to the |petitioners| Lot No. 1809-G-2-C because they needed money for the issuance of the titles to the four lots into which Lot 1809-G-2 was subdivided. [Timoteo] lured him and his sisters into selling the said land by his promise and representation that money was coming from his sister, Lucena Bacalso, from Jolo, Sulu. Timoteo Bacalso asked for two weeks within which to produce the said money. However, no such money came. To the shock and surprise of him and his sisters, a complaint was filed in Court against them in Civil Case No. CEB-6693 by [Timoteo], together with nine others, when Lucena Bacalso arrived from Jolo, Sulu, wherein they claimed as theirs Lot 1809-G. Instead of being paid, he and his sisters were sued in Court. From then on, [Timoteo] never cared anymore to pay for Lot 1809-G-2-C. He and his sisters just went through the titling of Lots 1809-G-A, 1809-G-2-B, Lot 1809-G-2-C and 1 809-G-2-D on then-own.
On his part, [Timoteo] himself acted in such a manner as to confirm that he did not anymore give significance or importance to the Deed of Sale of Lot 1809-G-2-C which, in turn, creates an impression or conclusion that he did not pay for the consideration or price thereof. Upon being cross-examined in Court on his testimony, he made the following significant admissions and statements:
1. That he did not let [Julian] sign a receipt for the sum of P8,000.00 purportedly given by him to the latter as payment for the land in question;
2. That the alleged payment of the said sum of P8,000.00 was made not in the presence of the notary public who notarized the document but in a place near Sto. Nino Church in Cebu City;
3. That it was only [Julian] who appeared before the notary public, but he had no special power of attorney from his two sisters;
4. That the Deed of Sale of Lot 1809-G-2-C was already in his possession before Civil Case No. CEE-6693 was filed in court;
5. That he did not however show the said Deed of Sale to his lawyer who filed for the plaintiffs the complaint in Civil Case No. CEB 6693, as in fact he suppressed the said document from others;
6. That he did not bother to cause the segregation of Lot 1809-G-2-C from the rest of the lots even after he had already bought it already;
7. That it was only after he lost in Civil Case No. CRB-6693 that he decided to file the present case;
8. That he did not apply for building permits for the three houses that he purportedly caused to be built on the land in question;
9. Thai he did not also declare for taxation purposes the said alleged houses;
10. Thai, he did not declare either for taxation purposes the land in question in his name or he had not paid taxes therefore; and
11. That lie did not bother to register with the Registry of Deeds for the Province of Cebu the Deed of Sale of the lot.
To the mind of the Court, [Timoteo] desisted from paying to [the Bacus siblings] the price for Lot. 1809-G-2-C when he, together with nine others, filed in Court the complaint in Civil Case No. CEB-6693. He found it convenient to just acquire the said land as supposed co-owners of Lot 1809-G of which the land in question is merely a part of. x x x.
Thus, it is evident from all the foregoing circumstances that there was a failure to or want of consideration of the supposed sale of the land in question to the [petitioners] on October 15, 1987. So, the said sale could not be given effect. Article 1352 of the New Civil Code of the Philippines is explicit in providing that 'contracts without cause produce no effect whatsoever'. If there is no cause, the contract is void, x x x There being no price paid, there is no cause or consideration; hence, the contract is void as a sale, x x x Consequently, in the case at bench, the plaintiffs have not become absolute owners of Lot 1809-G-2-C of Psd-07-022093 by virtue of the Deed of Sale thereof which was executed on October 15, 1987 by the [Bacus siblings] in their favor.19 (Citations omit Led)
It is clear from the factual findings of the RTC that the Deed of Absolute Sale entirely lacked consideration and, consequently, void and without effect. No portion of the F8,000.00 consideration indicated in the Deed of Absolute Sale was ever paid by the petitioners.
The Court also finds no compelling reason to depart from the court a quo's finding that the Deed of Absolute Sale executed on October 15, 1987 is null and void ab initio for lack of consideration, thus:
It must be stressed that the present case is not merely a case of failure to pay the purchase price, as [the petitioners] claim, which can only amount to a breach of obligation with rescission as the proper remedy. What we have here is a purported contract that lacks a cause - one of the three essential requisites of a valid contract. Failure to pay the consideration is different from lack of consideration. The former results in a right to demand the fulfillment or cancellation of (he obligation under an existing valid contract while the latter prevents the existence of a valid contract. Consequently, we rule that the October 15, 1987 Deed of Sale is null and void ab initio for lack of consideration.20 (Citation omitted)
Well-settled is the rule that where there is no consideration, the sale is null and void ab initio. In Sps. Lequin v. Sps. Vizconde,21 the Court ruled that:
There can be no doubt that the contract of sale or Kasulatan lacked the essential clement of consideration. It is a well-entrenched rule that where the deed of sale states that the purchase price has been paid but in fact has never been paid, the deed of sale is null and void ab initio for lack of consideration.22 (Citation omitted)
WHEREFORE, petition is DENIED and the Decision dated December 14, 2005 of the Court of Appeals in CA-G.R. CV No. 67516 is AFFIRMED.

The Value Of An MBA In 2015
February 28, 2015 Avi Gordon
I can't say it any better, and no point in re-inventing the wheel, so I'm reposting this with credit:
For MBA students who decided to go to business school over the past five years, it's been an amazing time, rich with career opportunities and increasingly handsome pay. If anything, the value of the MBA itself has been confirmed again and again as one of the very few degrees that brings an immediate payoff.
For the Class of 2014, starting pay packages and job placement rates are at either record or near-record levels. Indeed, at some of the super elite schools, the job offer rates may seem somewhat lower than a casual observer might expect. It's only because the MBA job market has become so frothy that graduates of a handful of very prestigious schools have become ever more choosy and are holding out for the perfect opportunity, highly confident it will come.
Starting salaries of $110,000 to $125,000 are now the median at 16 top U.S. schools, ranging from Harvard where the median was $125,000 to the University of Virginia's Darden School of Business where the median was $110,000. Median sign-on bonuses–now given to the vast majority of MBA graduates from top schools–are $25,000. And all these numbers tend to be highly conservative because they do not include increasingly common year-end bonuses, tuition reimbursement, stock grants and relocation expenses. The graduates of several top European schools, including such key players as London Business School, INSEAD and IESE Business School in Spain, are also in that upper range.
Most importantly, the placement rates at these schools are virtually near full employment, a massive turnaround from the numbers posted in the depth of the recession in 2009 and 2010. Last year, a remarkable 98% of the MBAs from Emory, Wharton and Chicago had job offers three months after graduation. None of the top schools had placement rates below 90% at the three-month mark.
At Emory's Goizueta Business School, where its job offer rate at graduation was higher than any other MBA program at 90.4% and equal to the very best rate of 98%, it was a landmark year. "2014 was a very strong year for the MBA job market and Goizueta," says Wendy Tsung, associate dean of MBA Career Services at Goizueta. "Last year, our top hiring partners extended more offers on campus and we also saw a 15% increase in new companies recruiting on campus. 2015 has been just as strong, especially in consulting and financial services. This is a good time to be graduating from an MBA program."
Another telling statistic about the demand for MBAs: The starting pay packages being landed at such schools at the University of Texas' McCombs School and Vanderbilt University's Owen School are nearly as much as those at the highest ranked elite schools. McCombs grads reported starting salaries of $105,000 this year, while Owen MBAs hit the $100,000 mark. That's just $20,000 or $25,000 lower than the $125,000 commanded by Harvard, Stanford, and Wharton MBAs. If you adjusted those numbers to account for pay and cost of living in the wider markets of Austin and Nashville and again for industry choices, the difference in MBA starting pay would be negligible.
For graduates of the Class of 2015, it looks only to get better and in all likelihood could be the single best year in history to graduate with an MBA. In fact, the latest research is suggesting that the demand for MBA talent is so great that major corporate recruiters are now reaching deeper into the pool at second tier schools ranked between 20 and 100. Another sign of good fortune is that the most significant increase in recruiting is coming from financial services, a sector that is likely to boost overall salaries and bonuses as it competes more aggressively for the best grads at top schools.
This recent release of the MBA Career Services & Employer Alliance survey found that 64% of the responding schools have seen increased recruiting for full-time jobs, up 23% over last fall. And more than three-quarters reported an increase in full-time job postings. At B-schools ranked from 21 to 50, the increases in on-campus recruiting were nothing but massive, with 81% reporting increases. That compares with 57% of schools ranked from 1 to 20 reporting increases, while 67% of those ranked 51 to 100 reported increases.
"2014 was a very strong year for MBA employment and the increases noted by the majority of participating schools suggest that the 2015 results will be even better," says Damian Zikakis, director of career services at the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business. It's highly possible that this year will be the best year to ever graduate with an MBA degree, even better than the 1980s and 1990s when business school education had its biggest gains.
While there can never be a 100% guarantee of placement in the job a graduate most wants, it's just about as close as it can get to that ideal. "Placement in our tradition MBA program is probably as robust as ever, with over 95% of the graduates reporting employment success within 90 days of graduation at the top 10 schools," says Paul Danos, dean of Dartmouth College's Tuck School of Business. "And the total pay packages are exceeding pre-crash levels."
Average starting salaries at Danos' school hit $117,860 last year, up 2.5% from $115,031 a year earlier. Average signing bonuses–reported by 87% of the class–were $28,712, while other guaranteed compensation averaged $34,431. For a graduating student who collected all three forms of compensation, the average would have totaled a whopping $181,003–to start.

MBA Resume: Look To Your Future
Business schools ask for a resume as part of the application package because they are professional schools and they want to see your professional record. But MBA admissions resumes are subtly different from ordinary work resumes and it's important to distinguish the different requirements — see below.
Much is also identical in a normal resume and an MBA admissions resume, so you should start by getting yours as good as it can be as per conventional requirements. There many guides to this, free on the Web. I won't dwell on the principles at length here, but be certain to take note of at least these basic points.
A resume should:
Be in reverse chronological order, education last
Contain tight clauses rather than full sentences, and not use the first person singular
Start items with the verb: Say "Managed team of…"; "Assigned priority to …"; and so on
Contain evidence, particularly quantitative records of budget managed or people supervised, etc.
Not contain obvious age, gender, race or other similar bio-data
Be easy on the eye (text at readable point size; layout not too dense)
Be absolutely, completely error-free
Those are the basics. And this is first base for Adcom too. They want to see you can do this common business communications task effectively.
Once you have that, then it's time to adapt it to the needs of MBA admissions particularly. Adcom wants to be sure you are recruitable at the end of your stay on their campus, so your resume is the part of your application pack that most directly reassures on this. Good resume builders advise you to show as much experience relevant to the job you are applying for as you can, to reassure recruiters, and this it true of an MBA admissions resume too — only doubly so, because doing an MBA heavily implies that you will be transitioning to or accelerating quickly along a management path. Your resume needs to look forward to this (or to whatever you plan to do on MBA graduation.)
Look to the Future
The mistake that many of my clients make on their first draft is to proudly present their past experiences and achievements, which are very often technical or specific to the field they are exiting. Success is always good, but MBA Adcoms don't really care whether you cracked a complex software conundrum or isolated a biological compound or developed prefabricated housing units. What they care about is whether you will make a good manager or leader, that is, the management portion that is there (or is implied potential) in what you did.
So that is where you should focus: the management, leadership, organizational (teamwork) or innovation implications of your past experience, that suggest future recruitability as a manager. Don't say: "Developed molecular compound BN2P4R in 3 months using 'BitsProDev' software analytics." Say: "Was part of team that developed unique molecular compound; led presentation to the Board; liaised with PR in media announcement." And so on.
Augment don't Repeat
The other key part of making your resume an MBA admissions resume is to work carefully with the knowledge that, unlike a typical employer, Adcom has various overlapping sources of information about you — not least all your file data. So you want to augment that rather than simply repeating it, in order to get your file data, resume, and essays to elegantly dovetail rather than simply overlap.
Your resume should not leave out basic resume attributes: dates, places, company names, and so on, even if this is already in your file data. But there are often ways to cut out repeating subsidiary information — names of products or service units and so on — that often just "jam up" a resume. This should leave space to go longer on quantitative evidence of management-oriented experiences and successes. In fact, I counsel admissions clients to put as much quantitative data in the file data and resume as they realistically can which, in turn, frees up the essays to be a little more personal and reflective.

New Campus Shuttle Offers Greater...
New Campus Shuttle Offers Greater Accessibility
Photo credit: John Petersen
Students will have a new way to get around campus beginning on Monday, October 2, 2017. A campus shuttle will begin weekday service between 8 a.m. and 12 p.m. and will operate on a loop, stopping at various campus locations approximately every 20 minutes. The ADA accessible shuttle is free for anyone with an Oberlin College ID.
The shuttle's introduction is in response to student feedback and requests for improved campus accessibility, particularly with buildings and businesses on the edges of campus.
"We have a number of students who do not have cars or the ability to drive," says Thom Julian, director of student conduct and community standards. "Walking, especially during the winter, can be unrealistic when it comes to utilizing Student Health or the Counseling Center or when picking up prescriptions from CVS and shopping at IGA. The shuttle service will go a long way in providing accessibility."
The current list of shuttle stops includes: Wilder Hall, Student Health/Counseling Center, Philips Physical Education Center, Dascomb Hall, Stevenson Hall/Multicultural Resource Center, CVS, Slow Train, IGA, and Forest Street.
Depending on the success of the service, the shuttle could be expanded to off-campus locations such as Crocker Park, and the hours may also be extended. The size of the shuttle may also increase to accommodate more riders.
"We are going to be assessing the shuttle throughout the fall semester and plan to address expansions during winter term," says Julian.
To track the shuttle and view an up-to-date route map on your smartphone, download the Ride Systems app from the Apple App Store or Google Play. When using the app for the first time, search and select "Oberlin College" as the transit agency.

This Week in Photos: The Mug That Keeps Giving
Dozens of handcrafted mugs of varying shapes, shades, and textures rest on tables throughout a large meeting space at First Church in Oberlin. These small, handheld items make for terrific gifts, and are traditionally sold in December. They also serve as inspiration for this week's photo series.
This Week in Photos: Dancing, Swimming, Singing, Celebrating
A student takes a few steps on a ladder and stretches one arm to the top of a large glowing menorah in the center of Tappan Square. The gold branched candelabra and flames glisten against the night sky, and those surrounding it look up at its brilliance. This Oberlin community gathering, in celebration of the last night of Hanukkah, leads off this week's photo series.

Do you seek treasures in heaven?
Few, if any of us, will admit to being materialistic.
The very word seems like profanity in Christian circles.But let me pose to you a very simple question. How much did you worry about anything that had to do with the Kingdom of God? Compared to how much you worried about your finances, your work, your kid's college, or your car?
Christ's use of the word "treasure" in these verses really captures the essence of our human condition.
Nowadays we can justify these treasures as necessities.
Not one of you would want to be compared to Gollum in the Lord of the Rings. So totally obsessed with the ring in his refrain of "precious, precious." That's what Gollum's value of the ring was—precious.
We are guilty of assigning value to our own treasures. In fact, countries all over the world assign value to pieces of paper. We call these pieces of paper, some very elaborate indeed, money.
These pieces of paper have no real tangible worth. It is not the paper, ink, or design that is worth the value assigned to it.
In the same way, in our own lives, we must be careful not to assign too much value to our treasures, lest they start to control our hearts.
What controls our hearts will control our behavior.
When we become dependent on something, the fear of losing that specific something creates worry. And worry produces anxiety, and not far behind comes stress.
Time and time again in my Christian-coach practice, the continual cause of strife in people's lives boils down to two things—finance and romance.
And most marriages seem to improve in direct correlation with their financial well-being.
We have been trained from a very early age to assign great importance to little pieces of paper. They have been used to motivate us, to punish us, and to bring us joy. How then can we retrain our thoughts to relieve ourselves from the dependence on the physical? We have to become better soldiers in this war for our hearts, fighting off the temptation to get too attached to physical things. The answer is always found in Jesus' words, for "where your treasure is, there your heart will be also" (Matthew 6:21).
Where is your treasure and where is your heart?
When you take the time each day cognitively to grow in your relationship with Christ, you gain a deeper understanding of your role for which you were created.
You start rehearsing that role until you become that part in the play that is playing out right now.
Now, God is waiting for you to step into the spotlight in faith and make that role your very own.
It is at this jumping-off point that our lives will not become like so many movie stars becoming self-centered and constantly wanting their ever-increasing needs met.
In fact, the exact opposite happens. When you star in God's movie, you realize it is about something bigger than your needs. It is about eternity and all the promises and provisions God has promised you.
"Come to me all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28). Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7). All of this flies in the face of what the world tells us we need. If the teachings of the world are true, then why is there so much bitterness and discontent as a result of this mindset?
Take a deep breath. It is going to be okay. If you are feeling overwhelmed, a good place to start is with the Serenity Prayer.
Now that you have done that, start to make a plan of how you are going to make time to spend with God.
Remember when making your plan, you have to be specific. So make a time and stick to it.
Soon it will become a habit. But it is going to take some effort. However, you will reap a bountiful harvest if you persevere. If you need help with this plan, you can always contact me directly at david@sowerlifecoach.com.

Verse Selection: Enter the Book, Chapter, and Verse numbers in the 'Bk, Chpt, Vs' fields, and click 'Go'. When browsing the NT, you can choose between the Scrivener's Textus Receptus (1894) or the Nestle-Aland textform. The text of the King James version is displayed in the upper left section, with the data from Strong's Concordance below it on the left, and the verse in the original Hebrew or Greek below on the right. This search allows you to use an asterix (*) as a wildcard in the Book Number field. The software then will return all verses that match the specified Chapter and Verse numbers. For example, entering *, 3, 16 in the 'Bk, Chpt, Vs' fields will return all verses numbered '3:16.' Click here to see how it works.
Strong's Defintions: Every Strong's Number is a hyperlink that will pop up a window to display the full definition from Strong's Concordance. You don't need to close the pop-up windows. The code will close them for you when you click on anything else.
Search By Strong's Numbers: Clicking the search icon ( ) beside any Strong's Number will return all verses that contain that number. You can also search for any Strong's Number by entering it in the 'Search By Strong's Number' box at the bottom data display. Enter only the number with no leading zeros, choose the language, and click 'Go.'
Search By Verse Order Number: This search will return a verse according to its ordinal position in the Bible. Thus, searching for verse 1 will display Genesis 1:1 on the 'Verse Analysis' page. Searching for Verse Number 31102 will return Revelation 22:21.
Search By Gematria: The gematria (numerical value) of each word in the Hebrew and Greek texts of the Bible has been stored in the database. These values are displayed in the 'Value' column in both the Original Text and Strong's Numbers tables. Clicking on these numbers will return the following:
All the words in the Bible that sum to specified Gematria value, with a hyperlink to to the corresponding Strong's Number and a link to the first verse in which the exact form of that word is found.
All the verses in the Bible that sum to the specified Gematria value, with a hyperlink that will display the verse in the 'Verse Analysis' page.
A link to the corresponding article (if one exists) in the Gematria Reference that has been published on this site since 2001.
The prime factorization of the specified number.
A 'Comments' section that I will fill up as I find time.
The Inc(lude)Checkboxes: These boxes allow you to include or exclude a word from the 'Total' sum displayed at the top of the 'Original Text' table. The checkbox beside the total at the top toggles all the buttons on and off, so you don't have to select them individually. The Total is a hyperlink that will exectute the 'Search By Gematria' function.
Qere/Kethiv Radio Buttons: These buttons toggle between the Qere and Kethiv textual variations found in the Hebrew text. They only appear when needed.

Here are brief descriptions of the class types and courses Kelly Marie is now running, click on the name if you are curious.
Early Morning Yoga…I am open to suggestions of time here! I think a good timely start of 6:30am is the perfect time for a 60 minute Yoga class. And this would leave time to get back home and get all your morning jobs done.
The last few classes have been very full, so if you are interested, contact me as soon as possible. It really is the most advantageous time to practice any physical exertion, before breakfast and before life gets busy.
Morning Yoga…I just love these classes! Of all the class types, I have to say, this is my favourite class, probably because I love mornings, and this is a time when people aren't just waking up, nor are they frazzled from their day.
Yoga at this time of 9:30 or 10:30 helps keep the 4pm slump away that many of us suffer from, known in Ayurveda as a Vata imbalance.
If you do suffer from that awful sneaky afternoon slump,a little Yoga Ayurveda tip… try to take three full breaths with the belly moving away from the body on the in breath and into the body on your out breath. Jumping up and down in one spot for three minutes can shift the energy, or go for a brisk ten minute walk.
Sports and flexibility Yoga…the strongest Yoga class I teach. It is for those who want a challenge in building strength, flexibility and clarity in the mind. We use the tools of mindfulness to create a safe environment for closer examination of the mind/body link.
Bespoke Yoga…just a fancy phrase to say, 'Yes, I am happy to teach you at a time that will suit all of us.' These classes work with a large or small group of people, teachers of any school or college after work is a popular series!
Some people do Yoga in their home so their friends come and they have a coffee afterwards. It can become quite relaxed and fun event. This bespoke Yoga is also for those with injury, that prefer to come to me before attending classes, to really learn the basics in unchallenged safety.
Mindfulness Thurles… very popular classes!
Private sessions of Yoga… for those who want an injection of energy towards their own very specific needs from Yoga and Ayurveda health guidance. It is a great way to move forward in a new lifestyle choice, and all who work this way with me, never look back.
Yoga for children…ages 8-12 years, starting soon!
Sometimes it's the shopping around, how we shop, the manner in our seeking the right thing, that can teach us more about ourselves than we realise.
Exhale, Yoga often comes and goes in our life, with no big ado when it appears again, but for me, it is an old friend.
