Title to Immovable Property can be Transferred on Basis of Power of Attorney or Will?
By an earlier order dated 15.5.2009 [reported in Suraj Lamp & Industries Pvt.Ltd. vs. State of Haryana & Anr. – 2009 (7) SCC 363], we had referred to the ill – effects of what is known as General Power of Attorney Sales (for short `GPA Sales') or Sale Agreement/General Power of Attorney/Will transfers (for short `SA/GPA/WILL' transfers). Both the descriptions are misnomers as there cannot be a sale by execution of a power of attorney nor can there be a transfer by execution of an agreement of sale and a power of attorney and will. As noticed in the earlier order, these kinds of transactions were evolved to avoid prohibitions/conditions regarding certain transfers, to avoid payment of stamp duty and registration charges on deeds of conveyance, to avoid payment of capital gains on transfers, to invest unaccounted money (`black money') and to avoid payment of `unearned increases' due to Development Authorities on transfer.
(a) An Agreement of sale by the vendor in favour of the purchaser confirming the terms of sale, delivery of possession and payment of full consideration and undertaking to execute any document as and when required in future.
Or An agreement of sale agreeing to sell the property, with a separate affidavit confirming receipt of full price and delivery of possession and undertaking to execute sale deed whenever required.
(b) An Irrevocable General Power of Attorney by the vendor in favour of the purchaser or his nominee authorizing him to manage, deal with and dispose of the property without reference to the vendor.
Or A General Power of Attorney by the vendor in favour of the purchaser or his nominee authorizing the attorney holder to sell or transfer the property and a Special Power of Attorney to manage the property.
(c) A will bequeathing the property to the purchaser (as a safeguard against the consequences of death of the vendor before transfer is effected).
These transactions are not to be confused or equated with genuine transactions where the owner of a property grants a power of Attorney in favour of a family member or friend to manage or sell his property, as he is not able to manage the property or execute the sale, personally. These are transactions, where a purchaser pays the full price, but instead of getting a deed of conveyance gets a SA/GPA/WILL as a mode of transfer, either at the instance of the vendor or at his own instance.
Whatever be the intention, the consequences are disturbing and far reaching, adversely affecting the economy, civil society and law and order. Firstly, it enables large scale evasion of income tax, wealth tax, stamp duty and registration fees thereby denying the benefit of such revenue to the government and the public. Secondly, such transactions enable persons with undisclosed wealth/income to invest their black money and also earn profit/income, thereby encouraging circulation of black money and corruption.
It also makes title verification and certification of title, which is an integral part of orderly conduct of transactions relating to immovable property, difficult, if not impossible, giving nightmares to bonafide purchasers wanting to own a property with an assurance of good and marketable title.
4. This Court had therefore requested the learned Solicitor General to give suggestions on behalf of Union of India. This Court also directed notice to States of Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh to give their views on the matter. The four states have responded and confirmed that SA/GPA/WILL transfers required to be discouraged as they lead to loss of revenue (stamp duty) and increase in litigations due to defective title. They also referred to some measures taken in that behalf. The measures differ from State to State.
In general, the measures are: (i) to amend Registration Act, 1908 by Amendment Act 48 of 2001 with effect from 24.9.2001 requiring documents containing contract to transfer for consideration (agreements of sale etc.) relating to any immoveable property for the purpose of section 53A of the Act, shall be registered; and (ii) to amend the stamp laws subjecting agreements of sale with delivery of possession and/or irrevocable powers of attorney in favour of non-family members authorizing sale, to the same stamp duty as deed of conveyance. These measures, no doubt, to some extent plugged the loss of revenue by way of stamp duty on account of parties having recourse to SA/GPA/WILL transactions, instead of executing deeds of conveyance. But the other ill-effects continued. Further such transaction which was only prevalent in Delhi and the surrounding areas have started spreading to other States also. Those with ulterior motives either to indulge in black money transactions or land mafia continue to favour such transactions. There are also efforts to thwart the amended provisions by not referring to delivery of possession in the agreement of sale and giving a separate possession receipt or an affidavit confirming delivery of possession and thereby avoiding the registration and stamp duty. The amendments to stamp and registration laws do not address the larger issue of generation of black money and operation of land mafia. The four States and the Union of India are however unanimous that SA/GPA/WILL transactions should be curbed and expressed their willingness to take remedial steps.
5. The State of Haryana has however taken a further positive step by reducing the stamp duty on deeds of conveyance from 12.5% to 5%. A high rate of stamp duty acts as a damper for execution of deeds of conveyance for full value, and encourages SA/GPA/WILL transfers. When parties resort to SA/GPA/WILL transfers, the adverse effect is not only loss of revenue (stamp duty and registration charges) but the greater danger of generation of `black' money. Reducing the stamp duty on conveyance to realistic levels will encourage public to disclose the maximum sale value and have the sale deeds registered. Though the reduction of the stamp duty, may result in an immediate reduction in the revenue by way of stamp duty, in the long run it will be advantageous for two reasons: (i) parties will be encouraged to execute registered deeds of conveyance/sale deeds without any under valuation, instead of entering into SA/GPA/WILL transactions; and (ii) more and more sale transactions will be done by way of duly registered sale deeds, disclosing the entire sale consideration thereby reducing the generation of black money to a large extent. When high stamp duty is prevalent, there is a tendency to undervalue documents, even where sale deeds are executed.
When properties are undervalued, a large part of the sale price changes hand by way of cash thereby generating `black' money. Even when the state governments take action to prevent undervaluation, it only results in the recovery of deficit stamp duty and registration charges with reference to the market value, but the actual sale consideration remains unaltered. If a property worth `5 millions is sold for `2 millions, the Undervaluation Rules may enable the state government to initiate proceedings so as to ensure that the deficit stamp duty and registration charges are recovered in respect of the difference of `3 millions. But the sale price remains `2 millions and the black money of `3 millions generated by the undervalued sale transaction, remains undisturbed.
6. In this background, we will examine the validity and legality of SA/GPA/WILL transactions. We have heard learned Mr. Gopal Subramanian, Amicus Curiae and noted the views of the Government of NCT of Delhi, Government of Haryana, Government of Punjab and Government of Uttar Pradesh who have filed their submissions in the form of affidavits.
"Sale" is a transfer of ownership in exchange for a price paid or promised or part-paid and part-promised.
Sale how made. Such transfer, in the case of tangible immoveable property of the value of one hundred rupees and upwards, or in the case of a reversion or other intangible thing, can be made only by a registered instrument.
Delivery of tangible immoveable property takes place when the seller places the buyer, or such person as he directs, in possession of the property.
Contract for sale.-A contract for the sale of immovable property is a contract that a sale of such property shall take place on terms settled between the parties.
8. We may next refer to the relevant provisions of the Indian Stamp Act, 1999 (Note : Stamp Laws may vary from state to state, though generally the provisions may be similar). Section 27 of the Indian Stamp Act, 1899 casts upon the party, liable to pay stamp duty, an obligation to set forth in the instrument all facts and circumstances which affect the chargeability of duty on that instrument. Article 23 prescribes stamp duty on `Conveyance'. In many States appropriate amendments have been made whereby agreements of sale acknowledging delivery of possession or power of Attorney authorizes the attorney to `sell any immovable property are charged with the same duty as leviable on conveyance.
9. Section 17 of the Registration Act, 1908 which makes a deed of conveyance compulsorily registrable. We extract below the relevant portions of section 17.
(b) other non-testamentary instruments which purport or operate to create, declare, assign, limit or extinguish, whether in present or in future, any right, title or interest, whether vested or contingent, of the value of one hundred rupees and upwards, to or in immovable property.
xxxxx (1A) The documents containing contracts to transfer for consideration, any immovable property for the purpose of section 53A of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882 (4 of 1882) shall be registered if they have been executed on or after the commencement of the Registration and Other Related laws (Amendment) Act, 2001 and if such documents are not registered on or after such commencement, then, they shall have no effect for the purposes of the said section 53A.
READ Maintenance Tribunal Can Evict Adult Children In Cases Of Parents Abuse.
"The Registration Act, 1908, was enacted with the intention of providing orderliness, discipline and public notice in regard to transactions relating to immovable property and protection from fraud and forgery of documents of transfer. This is achieved by requiring compulsory registration of certain types of documents and providing for consequences of non-registration.
Section 17 of the Registration Act clearly provides that any document (other than testamentary instruments) which purports or operates to create, declare, assign, limit or extinguish whether in present or in future "any right, title or interest" whether vested or contingent of the value of Rs. 100 and upwards to or in immovable property.
Registration of documents makes the process of verification and certification of title easier and simpler. It reduces disputes and litigations to a large extent.
11. Section 54 of TP Act makes it clear that a contract of sale, that is, an agreement of sale does not, of itself, create any interest in or charge on such property. This Court in Narandas Karsondas v. S.A. Kamtam and Anr.
It is thus clear that a transfer of immoveable property by way of sale can only be by a deed of conveyance (sale deed). In the absence of a deed of conveyance (duly stamped and registered as required by law), no right, title or interest in an immoveable property can be transferred.
12. Any contract of sale (agreement to sell) which is not a registered deed of conveyance (deed of sale) would fall short of the requirements of sections 54 and 55 of TP Act and will not confer any title nor transfer any interest in an immovable property (except to the limited right granted under section 53A of TP Act). According to TP Act, an agreement of sale, whether with possession or without possession, is not a conveyance. Section 54 of TP Act enacts that sale of immoveable property can be made only by a registered instrument and an agreement of sale does not create any interest or charge on its subject matter.
"A grant of power of attorney is essentially governed by Chapter X of the Contract Act. By reason of a deed of power of attorney, an agent is formally appointed to act for the principal in one transaction or a series of transactions or to manage the affairs of the principal generally conferring necessary authority upon another person. A deed of power of attorney is executed by the principal in favour of the agent. The agent derives a right to use his name and all acts, deeds and things done by him and subject to the limitations contained in the said deed, the same shall be read as if done by the donor. A power of attorney is, as is well known, a document of convenience.
An attorney holder may however execute a deed of conveyance in exercise of the power granted under the power of attorney and convey title on behalf of the grantor.
14. A will is the testament of the testator. It is a posthumous disposition of the estate of the testator directing distribution of his estate upon his death. It is not a transfer inter vivos. The two essential characteristics of a will are that it is intended to come into effect only after the death of the testator and is revocable at any time during the life time of the testator. It is said that so long as the testator is alive, a will is not be worth the paper on which it is written, as the testator can at any time revoke it. If the testator, who is not married, marries after making the will, by operation of law, the will stands revoked. (see sections 69 and 70 of Indian Succession Act, 1925).
Registration of a will does not make it any more effective.
15. Therefore, a SA/GPA/WILL transaction does not convey any title nor create any interest in an immovable property. The observations by the Delhi High Court, in Asha M. Jain v. Canara Bank – 94 (2001) DLT 841, that the "concept of power of attorney sales have been recognized as a mode of transaction" when dealing with transactions by way of SA/GPA/WILL are unwarranted and not justified, unintendedly misleading the general public into thinking that SA/GPA/WILL transactions are some kind of a recognized or accepted mode of transfer and that it can be a valid substitute for a sale deed. Such decisions to the extent they recognize or accept SA/GPA/WILL transactions as concluded transfers, as contrasted from an agreement to transfer, are not good law.
16. We therefore reiterate that immovable property can be legally and lawfully transferred/conveyed only by a registered deed of conveyance.
Transactions of the nature of `GPA sales' or `SA/GPA/WILL transfers' do not convey title and do not amount to transfer, nor can they be recognized or valid mode of transfer of immoveable property. The courts will not treat such transactions as completed or concluded transfers or as conveyances as they neither convey title nor create any interest in an immovable property.
They cannot be recognized as deeds of title, except to the limited extent of section 53A of the TP Act. Such transactions cannot be relied upon or made the basis for mutations in Municipal or Revenue Records. What is stated above will apply not only to deeds of conveyance in regard to freehold property but also to transfer of leasehold property. A lease can be validly transferred only under a registered Assignment of Lease. It is time that an end is put to the pernicious practice of SA/GPA/WILL transactions known as GPA sales.
17. It has been submitted that making declaration that GPA sales and SA/GPA/WILL transfers are not legally valid modes of transfer is likely to create hardship to a large number of persons who have entered into such transactions and they should be given sufficient time to regularize the transactions by obtaining deeds of conveyance. It is also submitted that this decision should be made applicable prospectively to avoid hardship.
18. We have merely drawn attention to and reiterated the well-settled legal position that SA/GPA/WILL transactions are not `transfers' or `sales' and that such transactions cannot be treated as completed transfers or conveyances. They can continue to be treated as existing agreement of sale.
Nothing prevents affected parties from getting registered Deeds of Conveyance to complete their title. The said `SA/GPA/WILL transactions' may also be used to obtain specific performance or to defend possession under section 53A of TP Act. If they are entered before this day, they may be relied upon to apply for regularization of allotments/leases by Development Authorities. We make it clear that if the documents relating to `SA/GPA/WILL transactions' has been accepted acted upon by DDA or other developmental authorities or by the Municipal or revenue authorities to effect mutation, they need not be disturbed, merely on account of this decision.
19. We make it clear that our observations are not intended to in any way affect the validity of sale agreements and powers of attorney executed in genuine transactions. For example, a person may give a power of attorney to his spouse, son, daughter, brother, sister or a relative to manage his affairs or to execute a deed of conveyance. A person may enter into a development agreement with a land developer or builder for developing the land either by forming plots or by constructing apartment buildings and in that behalf execute an agreement of sale and grant a Power of Attorney empowering the developer to execute agreements of sale or conveyances in regard to individual plots of land or undivided shares in the land relating to apartments in favour of prospective purchasers. In several States, the execution of such development agreements and powers of attorney are already regulated by law and subjected to specific stamp duty. Our observations regarding `SA/GPA/WILL transactions' are not intended to apply to such bonafide/genuine transactions.
20. We place on record our appreciation for the assistance rendered by Mr. Gopal Subramaniun, Senior Counsel, initially as Solicitor General and later as Amicus Curiae.
21. As the issue relating to validity of SA/GPA/WILL has been dealt with by this order, what remains is the consideration of the special leave petition on its merits. List the special leave petition for final disposal.

scrap the puppy trade
Fickle fashions affecting French bulldogs and Pugs
The RSPCA is reporting an upturn in the number of "designer breeds" such as French bulldogs and Pugs being abandoned. Becoming fashionable can have dire consequences for a breed, for as more people choose to buy a puppy of a specific breed, more people will sadly choose not to keep the dog long-term. Some of the unfortunate dogs who are cast aside by their owners end up being taken in by the RSPCA.
In 2016 the charity rescued several Pugs and French bulldogs who had been abandoned. Here are some of their stories:

MPs met today Tuesday 8 March to discuss their concerns over the health and welfare of dogs bred for sale
Scottish National Party MP Dr Lisa Cameron (East Kilbride, Strathaven and Lesmahagow) proposed the debate in Westminster Hall on 'Welfare of young dogs bred for sale'.
Opening the debate, she told MPs: "This issue has cross-party support… and widespread public support.
"We are here fundamentally to represent our constituents, not to enable big businesses trading in puppy maltreatment. Action, and not merely words, is required."
Not all mums will get the love they deserve this Mother's Day
The RSPCA is calling for legislation to tackle the illegal trade in puppies and to improve welfare for bitches used for breeding
Motherhood is one of the most beautiful and natural things in this world. And Mothering Sunday is a time to celebrate that, as well as the bond mums share with their babies.
But for some dogs, motherhood is a nightmare which never ends.

Puppies not as precious as scrap metal under English law, claims RSPCA
RSPCA launches #ScrapThePuppyTrade campaign to bring in laws to protect puppies from callous and cruel puppy dealers
Puppies are being treated worse than scrap metal, according to the RSPCA which today launched a petition calling on the UK Government to clamp down on people selling sick dogs in England.
Due to its low cost, low risk and high yield appeal, puppy dealing is an attractive option for people willing to make money at the expense of puppies' health and welfare and the heartache of families up and down the country.
unscrupulous breeders
Undercover RSPCA SOU inspector lifts the lid on what it is like to expose callous puppy dealers
"All each puppy wants is to be cuddled, loved and feel safe... the reality is very different"
"As a Special Operations Unit Inspector investigating the puppy trade comes as quite a challenge. The activity of selling puppies in itself is not illegal yet the volume of suffering puppies can be staggering.
The first thing that becomes very apparent with some of the cases I've investigated is that these poor puppies are nothing but a commodity to the dealers.

Student Talks
Our Opportunity scholars share their experience on how they are navigating their first year of college and what they have learned so far. Check in for regular updates on our scholarship recipients.
What is one weird thing you noticed about your college?
Jaden B.
"A weird/odd thing I've noticed about my college is how busy yet quiet it is here. There's always something going on but it all blends together harmoniously. All the events are well organized, and nothing ever clashes. This is only weird to me because I'm not used to having so many successful events occurring around me all at once."
"College has taught me that I need to be able to advocate for myself and handle things on my own. I have to do things on my own because basically I'm a young adult now and capable of making my own decision without having my parents do everything for me. I've noticed that most people at my college are able to balance most things from social lives to knowing when to do their homework."
Chepal C.
SUNY Canton
"College showed me how much I love to be upstate. It showed me how much I hated the city. Something weird in my college is I'm near a farm and it smells like cows".
What is one new thing you discovered about yourself?
John Hopkins University
"College definitely taught me and continues to teach me that it's just endless studying. I built a habit of studying back in high school, but it definitely isn't the same now. So I have to make a new habit and it definitely isn't fun. But I'm ready to excel."
Oswaldo S.
"College has taught me that I have so much more to learn and that I need to humble myself. The homework and the lecture must be taken really serious. It's not like high where you get a lot of homework but the work is easy and the classwork actually puts you to think more outside the box. For example, I'm taking an engineering class called EG-1004 as an introduction to engineering and our final is a Semester Long Project where we must design something innovative and valuable for society. In other words, college is hard and you have to work hard."
Ephraim Z.
"College has taught me that I am not as durable as I thought I was. I need a lot more time now to myself and to sleep. The schedule has a lot of time between classes and that gives me time to do a lot of work and study. So when I get home I feel exhausted and don't have energy to do much."
"College has already taught me that i am someone who needs to have more structure. I feel in these first few weeks i have learned that i need to develop schedules for myself and things to keep me on track because it is very easy to be distracted and forget about an assignment since no one is telling you what to do constantly, the freedom is like a double edged sword in the sense that it is great to be treated like an adult and you are allowed to figure things out for yourself, but you also are completely responsible for yourself."
CUNY City College of New York
"College has taught me to work harder and work on things earlier rather than delay. "
What is an interesting class you are taking that high school would have never offered?
John F.
CUNY City Tech
"My architecture 101 class is interesting because we actually go out in the real world and look at buildings and analyze. Even though it's only the first month we're already playing around with projects which is also a fun creative process."
Joel N.
Hostos Community College
"A class that I am taking is "Intro To Recording" which is teaching me the basic of how to record in a studio. I love this class because I want to be an artist in music, this class will help me tremendously. "
"One class I take that my HighSchool would have never offered is Immigration. This topic has been taught to me before in a lesson or a chapter but never as a class focused on that subject alone."
Danny H.
"I'm taking a Speech class for the fall semester, in which high school wouldn't have offered. Each class, we present in front of the class & strengthen our ability as a public speaker. It's been a good experience so far!"
Being in a new environment means creating new social circles. How have you began to create your new social circle?
Zaniya D.
"Because I dorm it's been pretty easy for me to meet new people and make new friends. I have more upperclassmen friends than freshmen friends but my experience has been pretty good."
Nicolas A.
"I have been making friends playing basketball and just overall being the social person I am who will always find someone to talk to "
Shai G.
"I joined the cross country and track team, and I have bonded with my fellow scholarship members."
Nathaniel C.
"It's been alright for the most part, I just need to be more outgoing and be less in my head about interacting with other people. I noticed that you need to talk more to others and not be quiet in spaces where mostly everyone in conversing. "
Jacob L.
"The way I'm going to new social circles is by going to general body meetings for different organizations in Binghamton also going on weekly meetings with my counselor. As a person who shy and doesn't talk a lot I've met a lot of people , not only family but friends that are helping me and will continue to help academically and I'm looking forward to getting into more things at bing as time goes by. "
Monroe College
"Well I can say that, with the Men's soccer I have made a new social circle with people from many different parts of the world. I learn about them and they learn about me. "

If there is a week Facebook founder and CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, will not forget in a hurry, it's definitely this past week. He started the week marking his 28th birthday, his long-term girlfriend; Priscilla Chan also graduated from medical school the same day, Monday.
Also during the historic week, his company was listed on the stock exchange at a value of $104 billion on Friday, while he capped it on Saturday by saying "I Do" to Priscilla at a private wedding ceremony held at his home in Palo Alto, California.
The couple, who dated for nine years, kept the wedding plans very secret as their guests all thought they were coming to celebrate his girlfriend's graduation but were told after they arrived that the event was in fact a wedding.
Mark and Priscilla met and started dating during Mark's days at Harvard University and no one was aware they were engaged.

Economic evaluation is increasingly required to demonstrate the value of services to vulnerable families, and to evidence how they are benefiting other partners within a local area. We work with local authorities and their partners to review the cost of support and establish the financial benefits of outcomes achieved – delivering a business case for investment.
Our services range from offering advice and guidance on how to set up a robust economic model, to delivering a full service economic evaluation including designing performance frameworks and supporting clients to set up systems to collate data.
As a starting point to every project, we establish a clear understanding of what you want to know and why, what decisions it will inform, and how robust the evidence base needs to be. From this, we tailor an approach that is proportionate to your needs and ensures we collect only what is required and useful. Our experience in this field means we have an in-depth understanding of the merits and limitations of different approaches, helping you to deploy resources where they make a difference.
Our clients have used economic evaluation (combined with our strategic and subject expertise ) to persuade partners of the importance of continued / new investment in family support services. Furthermore, the evidence has been used to make decisions on specific elements of service redesign, including practitioner case loads and the scope and duration of support.
All cases, effective and useful economic evaluation comes from a clear understanding of what you want to know, what decisions it will inform, and how much effort and resource you want to invest in.
Leading and authoring the National Evaluation of Family and Young Carers Pathfinders for DfE, a key study to inform the family intervention agenda.
Research for Action for Children providing evidence on how effective relationships with parents can lead to improved outcomes for children and young people (this research was widely cited in DCLG's guide to working with Troubled Families).
Research, evaluation, training and consultancy support to numerous local authorities on family intervention including West Sussex, Bournemouth, Surrey, Norfolk, East Sussex, Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Berkshire and Birmingham, Sefton, Islington, Newham and Brent.
Evaluation of a range of public health initiatives including an evaluation of a brief intervention for alcoholics delivered in an accident and emergency department.
A range of economic evaluations on effective family intervention including an SROI of the M-PACT programme for Action on Addiction (substance misuse) and a FROI of family intervention programmes for the DfE.
We can work intensively with your teams to collect, collate and input data for families both before and after an intervention, ensuring accuracy and consistency of data. We can analyse and interpret the data collected and provide a written report on the findings. We can support further in developing a business case as required.

Make time – Don't allow their lives to get so full of sports and activities that they cannot get everything done they need to before bedtime.
Calm down – Relaxing before bedtime by reading a book, taking a bath, or doing something soothing helps children get ready for sleep.
Set a schedule – It's a good idea to have the same bedtime and wake-up time every day, including weekends, because the human body functions best on a regular schedule.
Be firm – Make sure children understand that complaining about bedtime isn't going to change their bedtime.
Be aware of caffeine – Many popular drinks, including sodas are loaded with caffeine. If they want a drink before bedtime, try milk, fruit juice, or water.
Promote bedtime reading – Reading is a great way to drift into sleep.
It's hard enough for a child to get by with too little sleep and it's even harder when sleep deprivation becomes a nightly habit. Hope some of these tips help. The earlier your children go to bed, the more time you and the adults in your family have to relax and enjoy the evening.
Maybe you can even catch up on your own sleep! Pleasant dreams.

Beyond the Convention of Education.
Gone are the days when we leave Secondary school and crown ourselves with the title of ex-students, also awarding to ourselves the certificate that guarantees our gallivanting around the streets like big boys without a care in the world for the future. After all, we will soon be going back to school, to the university, where freedom is liberal and independence surfeit. The hiatus between secondary education and university education can take between a year and 6 years for some people; for me it took 3 years; a time almost allowing for me to graduate if I had entered directly into the tertiary institution. When we finally gained admission, we were local champions in our neighbourhood, having finally entered the coveted walls of the university, polytechnics or even colleges of education. Our lifestyles, modes of communication, dress-codes and in totality behaviour radically changed within a few months of becoming students. However, maybe it is just me; because I have grown up or the prevalence of tertiary school students around now, the hype that used to surround secondary school students who have entered the hallowed gates of the university has greatly reduced and I hope that crucial matters may be clearly seen now that the dust has cleared and the smoke is settling down.
As I said in the above passage, I wasted 3 years waiting for admission before I finally got admitted into a polytechnic which culminated in another wasted academic period in my life (this is a vitriolic discourse for another day.) while waiting for admission, I tried to read voraciously so that my O' level papers will be complete and so that I could easily pass JAMB whenever we met again. Reading was the only meaningful thing I did in 3 years! Of course, I looked for work, but my frailty and young face was an obstacle towards achieving that aim so I resigned myself to nothing. If my opinion is sought, the years after a child's graduation from secondary school could turnout to be the years for future fecundity and not for present prodigality. Parents and students alike wish for a seamless entry into tertiary institution from secondary school but this may be a huge waste of time in that we allow our worldly-wise, but business-foolish children from one controlled environment into another semi-controlled environment. The period after secondary education should be the period where our kids are taught real-world experiences.
When kids drop their pens after their O' level exams, the seemingly 'wise' ones go to look for work while waiting for JAMB to get their acts right. The foolish ones patrol the streets and every social place trying to live up to a new image they cut out for themselves. However, the ones who are really wise don't get a job but they learn a job. Some parents and their wards think this is demeaning. "How can my child go and learn tailoring or hairdressing?" they query. That vocation could be the best and cheapest investment you may hand over to your child considering the level of unemployment and decay in our academic system. When you equip your wards with a vocation you have taught him/her how to fish and stirred up in them an extant sense of responsibility that is dying out in our kids below 20. The best time to make money is while in school. Ask Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook), Bill Gates (Microsoft), Jack Dorsey (Twitter) and a host of other young entrepreneurs. They made their money while under the four walls of school and discovered that they could make their mistakes anonymously too without shame of being found wanting. Your kids can too.
The education that is being passed to our kids are as archaic as the Walls of China even on subjects that are daily evolving such as computer science and engineering. The lecturers don't know beyond what they were taught in 1980 (which was already outmoded as at then) and which is what they are transferring to your wards now. They will graduate "left-handed in old age". Also, the incessant strike actions that the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) constantly engage in to improve their lot and not that of their students is not a guarantee of a good life for your wards. Finally, there are no jobs out there and the competition is going to be biting in the next couple of years because 50% of Nigeria's population is below 25 years. In ten years time, these 25 years and below kids will be out of university and will be jostling for the few places available for employment that Nigeria's private and public sector have to offer. Do you want your kids in that cutthroat, red ocean of job-seekers? Definitely no!
A child with a vocation will go to the university and build on it. He has a focus and vision but will need the certificate and most importantly the relationship he will forge in school to enhance his vocation. Vocation differ and include arts, handiworks and skills. What are you giving to your child today? Running off to school to run off into the ever-expanding labour market may not be the ideal legacy for your child. Besides how may salary earners do you know that are rich if they did not dip their fingers into the messy pots of financial impropriety? Think of the future of your child beyond the conventions that reigned supreme during your time. Times have changed and we will do well to change with them.


The R SWAT package (SAS Wrapper for Analytics Transfer) enables you to upload big data into an in-memory distributed environment to manage data and create predictive models using familiar R syntax. In the SAS Viya Integration with Open Source Languages: R course, you learn the syntax and methodology required to complete a data mining workflow using SAS Cloud Analytics Services from an R user's perspective.
Once your data is in-memory, you use common R functionality to explore the data, such as the dim, names, head, and summary functions, or manage the in-memory data using common R data frame manipulation techniques. After processing the data, use CAS actions to create predictive models and score new data. The models and results were created to have a look and feel to open source software. For example, the gbtreeTrain action below, trains a gradient boosting model and saves the information in a new data table on the server. It can then be passed to additional CAS actions similarly to an R model object to score new data and assess its prediction ability.
After training a variety of machine learning models, compare misclassification rates. CAS results can be seamlessly passed backed to the local machine and analyzed using R syntax.
The R API to CAS allows R programmers to easily assimilate with SAS and take advantage of fast parallelized in-memory analytics. This course provides the tools required for R programmers to efficiently work with SAS Cloud Analytics Services.
Note: I'll be teaching this course as part of SAS Global Forum 2018 post-conference training Wednesday, April 11. We plan to add this course to our regular schedule sometime in 2018. Check our SAS Viya Learning Path for the latest course listings.

What Is an Associate Degree in Nursing?
Rodney Crutchfield
Adult Literacy and ... $50,650/year 2012-2016 -12.0%
Students •
There are many levels of nursing degrees, and each provides different job opportunities. One path to becoming a registered nurse or RN is to first earn an Associate Degree in Nursing, or an ADN. An ADN can be earned at a community college or technical college in two years' time. An ADN focuses on the technical aspects of nursing, rather than the theoretical and academic aspects of nursing generally covered in a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program.
ADN Curriculum
ADN students will have to fulfill some basic prerequisites before taking nursing course, such as courses in writing, social science, history, etc. Nursing-specific courses will likely cover such topics as anatomy and physiology, chemistry, biology, family health, pediatric and geriatric medicine, pharmacology, psychology and mental health. The course requirements will vary by institution.
State Boards of Nursing in each state determine which programs are acceptable for that state. Upon completion of a state certified curriculum of study, the nursing candidate will need to pass the NCLEX, or the National Council Licensure Examination. Fortunately, most of the two-year courses for an ADN are geared toward helping graduates to pass the NCLEX.
Depending on the student's career goals, she or he may choose to continue studying to become a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) or a Registered Nurse (RN). With the current high demand for both classes of nurses, employment for someone with an associate degree in nursing and a valid nursing license is virtually guaranteed. The nurse may also choose to work in a specialized medical field, such as pediatrics, geriatrics, mental health, emergency care, and cardiac care.
After having passed the NCLEX, a nurse often can easily move from state to state , because it is a national licensing exam, although not all states recognize the licenses of other states (meaning a nurse may need to fulfill additional requirements to obtain a license in a particular state). A nurse with an ADN may also decide to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN), which in many hospitals will qualify the individual for management positions. Many hospitals offer courses or financial support for RN-to-BSN coursework.
Monetarily, if the ADN graduate chooses to be an LPN, she can expect a median salary of about $31,500. An RN can anticipate a median salary of about $48,000 per year. Because of the broad range of jobs that a nurse can take, salary ranges vary greatly by job description.

In 2013, Alexandra Acosta-Conniff, an Alabama school teacher and single mother of two children, filed an adversary proceeding in an Alabama bankruptcy court, hoping to discharge student loans that had grown to $112,000. She did not have an attorney, so she represented herself in court.
At her trial, Judge William Sawyer applied the three-part Brunner test to determine whether Acosta-Conniff met the "undue hardship" standard for having her student loans discharged in bankruptcy.
First, Judge Sawyer ruled, Conniff could not pay back her student loans and maintain a minimal standard of living for herself and her two children. Thus she met the first part of the Brunner test.
Second, Conniff's economic circumstances were not likely to change in the foreseeable future. Conniff was a rural school teacher, Judge Sawyer pointed out, who could not expect a significant rise in income. Although she had obtained a doctorate in education, that doctorate had not paid off financially.
Third, Judge Sawyer ruled, Conniff had handled her student loans in good faith. She had made monthly payments over several years and she had obtained deferments from making payments--deferments she was eligible to receive. In Judge Sawyer's view, Conniff met the good-faith requirement of the Brunner test.
In short, Judge Sawyer determined, Conniff qualified for bankruptcy relief under the Bankruptcy Code's "undue hardship" standard as interpreted by Brunner. Accordingly, the judge discharged all of Conniff's student-loan debt.
ECMC appealed, and Judge Keith Watkins reversed. Fortunately, retired bankruptcy judge Eugene Wedoff volunteered to represent Conniff without charge, and Wedoff and his associates took her case to the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals.
In 2017, four years after Conniff filed her adversary proceeding, the Eleventh Circuit reversed the trial court, directing Judge Watkins to review Judge Sawyer's ruling under the "clear error" standard. In other words, unless Judge Sawyer had committed clear error in deciding for Conniff, Judge Watkins was bound to uphold Sawyer's decision. The Eleventh Circuit remanded the case back to Judge Watkins to straighten things out.
In January 2018, Judge Watkins issued his second opinion in Conniff's case, and he concluded that Judge Sawyer had indeed committed clear error when he ruled in Conniff's favor. Judge Watkins' opinion is a bit convoluted, but basically he said Judge Sawyer made a mistake in failing to determine whether Conniff was eligible for an income-contingent repayment plan (ICRP).
In Judge Watkins' opinion, if Conniff can make even small loan payments under an ICRP and still maintain a minimal standard of living, she is not eligible for bankruptcy relief.
It means Alexandra Acosta-Conniff must return to bankruptcy court a second time--more than three years after her first trial. Apparently, Judge Sawyer will not schedule a second trial; instead, he has asked Conniff and ECMC to submit proposed findings of facts. At some point, Judge Sawyer will issue his second opinion on Conniff's case.
Conniff owed $112,000 in 2015, when she was 44 years old. Her debt has grown over the last three years due to accrued interest, and Conniff is older. She is now 47 years old.
What does the future hold for Alexandra Acosta-Conniff? More litigation.
If Conniff wins her second trial, ECMC, ruthless and well financed, will undoubtedly appeal again; and the case will ultimately go back to the Eleventh Circuit a second time. Conniff now has an able lawyer, so if she loses before Judge Sawyer, she will likely appeal. So--win or lose--Conniff is in for at least two more years of stressful litigation. When this is all over, Conniff will likely be 50 years old.
Here's my take on Conniff's sad odyssey through the federal courts. First, Judge Watkins' most recent decision is deeply flawed. In Watkins' view, a student-loan debtor who can make even small loan payments under an ICRP while maintaining a minimal standard of living cannot discharge her student loans in bankruptcy: period.
But if that were true, then no student-loan debtor is eligible for bankruptcy relief. In several cases, ECMC or the U.S. Department of Education has argued that a student-loan debtor living at or below the poverty line should be denied bankruptcy relief and required to enter into an ICRP even though the debtor would be required to pay zero. In fact, ECMC and DOE have been arguing for years that basically every destitute student-loan debtor should be put in an ICRP and denied bankruptcy relief.
Do want some examples? Roth v. ECMC (9th Cir. BAP 2013), Myhre v. U.S. Department of Education (Bankr. W.D. Wis. 2013), Abney v. U.S. Department of Education (Bankr. W.D. Mo. 2015), Smith v. U.S. Department of Education (Bankr. D. Mass. 2018).
The Roth case illustrates the insanity of this point of view. In that case, ECMC fought bankruptcy relief for Janet Roth, an elderly retiree with chronic health problems who was living on less than $800 a month in Social Security benefits. Put her in an ICRP, ECMC insisted, even though she would be required to pay nothing due to her impoverished circumstances.
The Ninth Circuit's Bankruptcy Appellate Panel pointed out the absurdity of ECMC's position. It would be pointless to put Roth in an ICRP, the court ruled. "[T]he law does not require a party to engage in futile acts."
Forcing Alexandra Acosta-Conniff into an ICRP, which Judge Watkins obviously desires, is a futile act. She will never pay off her student loans, even if she makes small monthly income-based payments for the next 25 years.
Acosta-Conniff is a big, big case. If Judge Watkins' hardhearted view prevails, then bankruptcy relief for student-loan debtors is foreclosed in the Eleventh Circuit. If the compassionate and common-sense spirit of Judge Sawyer's original 2013 opinion is ultimately upheld, then distressed student-loan debtors like Alexandra Costa-Conniff will get the fresh start that the bankruptcy courts were intended to provide.
The Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals will ultimately have to look at Alexandra Acosta-Conniff's case a second time. But her next trip to the Eleventh Circuit is likely at least two years away.

Kristin Price, a single mother of three young children, won an important victory in a Pennsylvania bankruptcy court last month. On June 23, Judge Eric Frank issued an opinion discharging all of Ms. Price's federal student loans--approximately $26,000. This is another win for the good guys.
At the time of trial, Ms. Price was 29 years old and had three children ages 3, 5 and 11. Although she was still married, she was separated from her husband and anticipated a divorce.
Price obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Radiology Science from Thomas Jefferson University in 2011, financing her studies with federal and private loans. At the time of trial, she worked part-time as a vascular sonographer but was unable to find full-time work in her field. She testified she could obtain a second part-time job working outside her field but the additional child care costs did not justify that option.
Price received informal child support from her estranged husband, but her reasonable expenses still exceeded her income. She testified that she lived with her mother in return for paying her mother's mortgage payment--about $1400 a month.
At the time Price filed her adversary complaint in the bankruptcy court, she owed nearly $26,000 in federal loans and $30,000 to Chase Bank. Price settled with Chase prior to trial. Thus the only issue before Judge Frank was whether Price was entitled to have her federal loans discharged.
Judge Frank applied the three-part Brunner test to decide Price's case. The Department of Education conceded that Price passed the first prong of the Brunner test; she could not pay back her federal loans and maintain a minimal standard of living.
The Department also conceded that Price passed Brunner's third prong. It acknowledged that she had handled her student loans in good faith.
But DOE argued that Price could not pass Brunner's second prong. According to DOE, Price could not show additional circumstances making it likely that her financial situation would not improve "for a significant portion of the repayment period of the student loans." Basically, DOE maintained that Price was young and healthy and was qualified for a good job in the medical field. Eventually, DOE pointed out, Price's children would grow up and leave the home, which would enable Price to get a better job and repay her student loans.
And here is where Judge Frank's opinion gets interesting. Price argued that her future financial prospects should be considered for no longer than the remaining period of her 10-year loan repayment obligation, which ended in 2024. DOE argued that Judge Frank should consider Price's financial prospects for a much longer time--the 20- or 25-year period of an income-based repayment plan.
Fortunately for Price, Judge Frank did not buy DOE's argument. The judge ruled that Price had rejected a long-term income-based repayment plan in good faith; and thus he would consider her financial prospects based on the terms of her ten-year repayment obligation and not the 20 or 25 years DOE requested.
Judge Frank said he was obligated to consider Price's future financial prospects based on "specific articulable facts, not unfounded optimism." If he were required to consider Price's financial situation over a 20- or 25-year term, Judge Frank reasoned, his determination "[would] be nothing more than mere guesswork, without any reasonable degree of certitude."
Moreover, Judge Frank pointed out, DOE's own expert testified that DOE's 20-year REPAYE program was ill-suited for Price and that he would not recommend it for her. Judge Price also noted that a REPAYE plan would require Price to consolidate her debt, which would cause accrued interest to be capitalized into a larger loan balance--meaning she would be "paying interest on interest."
If Price's meager income did not improve significantly in later years, Judge Frank explained, her loan would eventually "reach a kind of 'escape velocity,'" meaning that her monthly payments would not be enough to cover accruing interest and her loan balance would grow "for the next several decades."
Based on this analysis, Judge Frank then considered what Price's financial prospects would likely be over the next five years--about 70 percent of the remaining repayment period. The judge concluded Price would probably be unable to pay back her loans over that period.
In short, after applying the second prong of the Brunner test to Price's financial outlook, the judge discharged all of Price's federal loans.
Without question, the heart of Judge Price's ruling was based on his conclusion that Price had rejected a long-term payment period in good faith. And of course, his decision was made a lot easier due to the fact that DOE's own expert admitted that a long-term repayment plan was not appropriate for her.
What does the Price decision mean for other overburdened student-loan debtors?
First, this is the most recent in a string of bankruptcy court decisions that have discharged student-loan debt owed by single mothers with dependent children. Price follows in the wake of Lamento, Acosta-Conniff (on appeal), Fern, and McDowell--all decisions involving single mothers with children who won discharges or partial discharges of their student loans.
Second, this is the latest in a series of very well-reasoned bankruptcy court decisions in which bankruptcy judges have worked hard to grant relief to overburdened debtors within the harsh constraints of the Brunner test. Judge Frank's decision was 25 pages long; Judge Berger's decision in the Johnson case out of Kansas was extensively researched. The Abney decision, the Fern decision, and several more have displayed remarkable intellectual agility and commendable commitment to the bankruptcy courts' core purpose, which is to grant overburdened debtors a fresh start in life.
Third, Judge Frank ruled that when a court applies the second prong of the Brunner test to determine whether a debtor's financial prospects will improve in the future, the appropriate time period for consideration is the original term of the loan (generally 10 years) rather than the extended term of a hypothetical 20-year or 25-year income-based repayment plan.
Admittedly, Judge Frank's conclusion on this last point is a little fuzzy. Price had refused to sign up for a long-term, income-based repayment plan, and Judge Frank ruled that Price's decision to reject such a plan had been made in good faith. Judge Frank might have ruled differently if Price had signed up for a 20-year REPAYE plan before filing for bankruptcy.
Indeed, the judge wrote that the "outcome may well be different in other cases in which the extended loan repayment programs present a more attractive option, or for other appropriate reasons." And the judge also noted that DOE did not dispute the fact that Price's decision to reject a long-term repayment plan had been made in good faith.
In the final analysis, all we can say for sure about the Price decision is this: A healthy 29-year old mother of three children with good future job prospects won a bankruptcy discharge of her student loans based primarily on the fact that her judge did not think Price would be in a position to repay her loans over the next five years.
Personally, I would have liked the Price decision better if Judge Frank had said that a student-loan debtor's financial prospects should always be limited to the term of the original student loan--generally no more than 10 years. That's not what the judge ruled. Nevertheless, it is a good decision for student-loan debtors.

Alan Collinge wrote an interesting book a few years ago entitled The Student Loan Scam, which I reviewed in the Journal of Law and Education. He is very knowledgeable about the student-loan crisis, and much that he has to say about this problem is useful. Nevertheless, he is far too pessimistic about bankruptcy relief for student-loan debtors.
In an interview with Peter J. Reilly, a Forbes Magazine contributor, Collinge expressed a very bleak view regarding a distressed student-loan debtor's chances in the bankruptcy court. As Reilly summarized Collinge's position, "Alan argued that the chance of bankruptcy relief remains remote, and that the murmurers may be consultants who are engaging in bait and switch." In the interview itself, Collinge said, "Almost no well-versed lawyer will recommend it because of the unlikelihood of winning."
[M]ake no mistake, even for the most destitute borrowers, the Department of Education, ECMC, and the entire lending industry are continuing to pour massive resources into defeating them in bankruptcy court by using shameless fear tactics with the judges, who they pressure ceaselessly--and usually successfully--to make bankruptcy determinations against [ ] these most impoverished individuals rather than for them.
And I think Collinge is also correct to say that so-called "debt coaches" and consultants may be dispensing inaccurate information about bankruptcy relief for the purpose of signing up distressed student-loan debtors in "loan rehabilitation" plans whereby student loans are repackaged into larger loans due to the various fees and penalties that get tacked on to the original principal.
But Collinge is just wrong to disparage the bankruptcy option for discharging student loans. Several bankruptcy courts have ruled with surprising compassion and common sense toward student-loan borrowers in recent years--relieving honest but unfortunate debtors of their student-loan obligations. Remarkably, many student-loan debtors have been successful in the bankruptcy courts even when they went to court without lawyers. Abney v. U.S. Department of Education, Acosta-Conniff v. ECMC, Johnson v. Sallie Mae, and Precht v. U.S. Department of Education--all decided within the last year--are recent victories for student-loan debtors who represented themselves in bankruptcy court.
It is true that some student-loan debtors have lost their cases in the bankruptcy courts. Butler v. ECMC, decided last month, is a particularly heartbreaking case because Brenda Butler's situation was more dire than several student-loan debtors who won their cases. But Roth v. ECMC and Krieger v. ECMC, two appellate-level decisions, are an indication that the federal courts are rethinking their harsh stance toward student-loan debtors.
One thing is certain. Overburdened and insolvent student-loan debtors have nothing to lose by trying to get their student-loan debt discharged in bankruptcy. And it is not helpful or useful to tell people that bankruptcy relief for student-loan debt is nearly impossible.
As Bob Dylan put it,"[D]on't speak too soon for the wheel's still in spin." In other words, the times may be a-changing.

Rangarjan, Varadarajan and Arunachalam, M. S. (2016), "Framework for Measuring Innovation Potential in Indian Companies: A Case Study", MERC Global's International Journal of Management, Vol. 4, Issue 1, pp. 06-14.
Subsequent to opening up of the Indian economy, domestic companies have been under competitive pressure from multinational companies from across the world. One of the major reasons for the domestic company's inability to successfully compete globally is that they have grown up in protected environments and are under prepared to bring in innovation either in products, or processes, or strategies. This paper is an attempt at building a scoring framework for innovation potential in companies based on internal and external elements to them. The framework provides for industry-specific scoring through prioritisation of the internal and external elements. Additionally, the paper introduces a scaling method for assigning scores to the elements of the company. Further, a case study of a company in the auto component industry has been described as an example to show how this framework can be used to assess the innovation potential of companies. The framework is seemingly subjective, but with sufficient justification reliable scores that are reproducible can be obtained.

KY Place is a documentary web series that encourages conversations about issues relevant to Kentucky, without shying from taboos. It asks questions and seeks answers while understanding that sometimes there are none.
A place well known for bourbon, coal, and horses, the Bluegrass State is a culturally rich centerpiece on the national stage that's commonly misunderstood. Stories of Kentucky are often told by non-local media, which provide the rest of the world with an incomplete representation of our collective challenges and hard-fought victories.
Using the shareable nature of the online format, this series seeks to give voice to those who have been historically marginalized and reclaim our narrative, to show that this state—like many places around the world—is complex, diverse, and beautiful.

Q: Checkboxes firing on all records instead of the selected record I'm building a form that contains a subform to list records as a datasheet.   The fields on the subform are sourced from a saved query.    To the subform, I added a checkbox control to serve as a record selector.
Here is the problem:  When I click on the checkbox of specific record on the subform, ALL the checkboxes on all the records display a check rather than just the one I clicked.  I cannot figure out what is causing this undesirable behavior.
Any insights or suggestions to fix this is much appreciated.

A: Your checkbox is unbound - in any continuous form or datasheet, unbound controls have the same value for all records (how else could they be unbound?).
You will have to add a "selector" column to the record source. Only bound controls can have different values for different records.

A: Instead of creating a field in a table (selection-data is only temporary), you can useclsCCRecordSelect-Class from SelectRecordsV2.
It binds the control to an expression (calls a function inControlSourcethat returns the value of the checkbox, stored in a collection of the class) and uses the controlsMouseDown event to change the value (as controls bound to an expression are read-only).
That makes the selection multiuser captable and avoids creating additional selection field to tables.
