Going to college is a huge feat. Some can adapt immediately while some cannot. But, regardless of the pace, one must learn how to enjoy the process to be able to survive.

You're probably reading this because you're either too bored that you start to read anything online, or too scared because the first day jitters are finally eating you up.
Don't worry, we've been there.
With just a few days left from rushing in to the historical Arch of the Centuries, you better stock up on these nifty tips to ease your freshie paranoia.
1. Always bring your registration form
This will serve as your temporary ID and proof that you are officially enrolled since professors usually ask for it on the first day. Unless you want to spend your day locked out of the University and marked as absent, keep this oh-so-sacred document to you—at all cost.
2. Explore the different food spots around the University
The four streets surrounding the University will never even let your stomach grumble! Whether you are in a mood to be a "yayamanin" or be a "Poorita Mirasol," you will surely find a food that will compensate your hunger and your budget. For starters, España has The One Foodcourt, Shakeys, Amo Yamie Crib; Dapitan has Chowpoint, Billy's Tapa, Angkong, Dimsum Treats; Lacson has McDonalds, Ilars, I-Chill Cafe; and P. Noval has Mang Tootz, Lopez Canteen, Nelly's, and Bomber's.
3. Umbrella is your best friend
As they say, you're not really a Thomasian if you don't even own an umbrella. Since we're famed for braving the unpredictable floods and the scorching heat, always keep this trusty ol' buddy in your bag.
4. Watch the games live
Believe me, nothing beats that feeling of adrenaline rush as you cheer with the yellow crowd. Memorize the cheers (no, it's not just Go USTe!), hoard yellow shirts, and round up your friends because the UAAP season just around the corner—for the Growling Tigers and Golden Tigresses will come back stronger and fiercer!
5. Stop when you hear the Angelus
It doesn't matter if you're running late or you're in the middle of the scorching heat—the moment the Angelus, a prayer that happens every noon, 3 p.m., and 6 p.m., airs, you better stop. People, including those inside their cars, are advised to halt momentarily and feel the solemnity of the prayer.
6. Join organizations
READ WEBFLASH: Bwakaw, itinanghal ng CASA
Thinking about your passion or talent that you wish to continue but is not related to the track that you have chosen? Don't worry because the University offers an array of organizations where you can hone and explore your talents. It will also be a bonus to get to know more people and expand your ties in different colleges!
7. Try to apply for a scholarship
Fees, fees, fees everywhere. Studying in college (not to mention in a private university) is really expensive. But, the good news is the University offers financial aid via scholarship programs. To know more details, you can visit UST Office for Admissions located in the Tan Yan Kee Building or see their official website here.
8. Expensive cafes who? We only know UST Central Library
Instead of burning your cash just so you can study at cafes, why not try this six-floor library? With diverse selection of books that you can borrow, or even access online, what more can you ask for? There's also a mini cafe at the library's ground floor for that sugar rush!
9. Support UST local bands
Whether you're brokenhearted or not, you have probably sang breakthrough single Magbalik including its catchy instrumentals. But did you know that some of the band members of Callalily were Thomasians? Just like Callalily, there are also emerging bands in the University such as Where's Ramona, Halina, Teavana, and more. They usually perform in some of University's events so be sure to catch them live when you can!
10. Shine brighter than Rihanna's Diamond
New academic year, new you! College is indeed a fresh start. If you think you did not do well during your high school days, this is definitely your time to shine. Don't be afraid to say hi to your future blockmate. Explore all the opportunities that will come in your way. This is you creating you.

Another year, another Buzzfeed-esque quiz that is based on purely subjective notions. This quiz can somehow garner questionable results as they can be entirely different from how one sees oneself, but still feel free to take a (good) three-minute break and validate which UST street completely molds your Thomasian existence. Enjoy!
With music as a tool for liberation, we must not let the likes of "Awit" to limit our minds, let alone poison our culture with prejudice.
Ian Gabriel Trinidad
Screenshot from the album cover of the now deleted song "Awit" on Spotify.
Erich Gabriel Bongon, also known as Young Vito posted a video of himself on Twitter singing a preview of "Awit" last Dec. 5, 2019, a song he that composed with sexist undertones and transphobic lyrics. Netizens were quick to call out the rapper when the preview is posted, prompting him to delete the video and issue an "apology."
What happened afterwards? Was he cancelled? Was he given career opportunities after the incident? Did he change his ways and most importantly, did he educate himself on gender rights?
Young Vito is known to have signed a recording contract with Viva Records. With the record label having full knowledge of the incident, Young Vito and Viva Records have enabled themselves to go further: to release the same song with the same infamous lyrics, capitalizing off its notoriety on social media.
"Awit" is just one of the many Filipino songs propagating harmful ideas that does not only target the transgender community, but also encourages the normalization of transphobia and a culture of hate in the country.
Young Vito's "Awit" is a trans woman, with the singer implying that the woman deceives men, that there is something wrong with them.
The song's album art depicts a trans women using a urinal, as if implying that they should use the male's comfort room; a controversial choice due to the ongoing debate on trans peoples' comfort room access.
After receiving flak, the rapper posted an apology on Twitter, at the same time refusing to delete his video and liking tweets saying that people are "too sensitive." He deleted the video afterwards.
A few days later, the rapper signed a five-year contract with Viva Records. After that, the song is released on multiple streaming platforms last Jan. 17, 2020 under Viva Records, with Emmanuel "NEXXFRIDAY" Salen producing and providing the beat for the track.
Photo grabbed from Young Vito's Instagram account @youngvitoph
"Despite the controversy surrounding the song, 'Awit' has been turned into a full-blown bop…," the caption of the now-deleted lyric video in Viva Records' Youtube channel reads.
The song is then deleted on Spotify one day after its release.
"Awit" is just one of the many Filipino songs with transphobic lyrics. Songs like Abra's "Gayuma" and Kamikazee's "Chiksilog" portray trans women as someone who deceive men with their looks, while also spreading the notion that trans women are still men even if they have already identify themselves as women.
One may think that the lyrics of these songs are harmless but for the transgender community, it makes their lives more difficult than it is.
In a country where the trans community are ostracized, where even some members of the LGBTQ+ community preach transphobia, where the likes of Hermie Monterde are still discriminated in the workplace, where personalities such as BB Gandanghari and Jake Zyrus are mocked online, where women like Gretchen Diez are shunned and arrested for entering the comfort room, where people like Jennifer Laude and Jessa Remiendo are murdered for being transgender – these songs spread dangerous ideas to the public.
These songs normalizes harmful prejudices embedded in our culture. It hinders the LGBTQ+ community, especially the trans community's fight for equal rights. It makes the idea of targeted discrimination and hate crime acceptable, painting a harmful image on people's minds that it is normal to mock transgenders with the help of a song.
Music has been used to break the status quo, teach important lessons, and in some cases, aid in bringing down tyrants. With music as a tool for liberation, we must not let the likes of "Awit" to limit our minds, let alone poison our culture with prejudice.
If we want true progress, we must lose the chains of backwardness binding us, and we can start by taking small steps—starting with picking good songs to listen to.
The show may seem ordinary in the spectrum of teleseryes, but with the bouts of recognition and attention it harbors, shows like Kadenang Ginto may have the tendency to succumb to society's patriarchal roots—a premise that has been the show's subdued message from the very beginning.

Media and entertainment industries, especially in the Philippines, have undoubtedly created a number of teleseryes that got viewers hooked. Iconic lines from television shows made their way through social media, thus birthing an irreversible decade of video parodies, i.e. "Cassie, hindi ka muna papasok sa iskul" which came from the ABS-CBN afternoon prime show, Kadenang Ginto (directed by Jerry Lopez Sineneng and Avel Sunpongco). This particular boomerang created by the show serves as a primary example of the proliferation of teleseryes into the in-betweens of people's mundane realities.
Usually, Filipino TV formulas have just been restricted to cookie-cutter stories such as rich girl-poor girl rivalries, wife versus mistress conflicts, and other types of predictable stories with a recurring plotline—dramatically mirroring the struggles of which people could sympathize and in some cases, empathize with.
Now, with the recent narratives of most materials, it is fitting to raise the question: do teleseryes, such as the case in point, subconsciously imply a patriarchal and capitalist society which can water down women's roles as simply pawns of the men-splayed environment?
Dissecting the Initial Premise of the Show
The whole idea of the show displays a tangled story between Daniela Mondragon (played by Dimples Romana) and Romina Andrada (played by Beauty Gonzales). Romina, a glorified Secretary, marries the business tycoon and father of Daniela, Robert Mondragon (played by Albert Martinez).
Caused by jealousy, Daniela strived to emerge relevant by physically and emotionally belittling Romina to death, hoping that she could at least gain more relevance in the old Mondragon's life. It gets more complicated when Daniela marries Romina's past lover, Carlos (played by Adrian Alandy), who still has unresolved feelings for the latter.
While Daniela's past actions remain important both in their family business and in the lives of the men involved, it seems questionable that all her intentions were for the sake of these men.
While it is also applauding that Daniela and Romina are their own persons who are fully responsible to stir changes necessary to keep the show going, one may question the end of not just the character's intentions, but as well as the writers' inclination to probe and provide a substantial arc for these characters.
It raises the question, especially during a period when a new character was introduced in the persona of Richard Yap, a rich businessman, who somehow became a catalyst on how the character of Romina can get back on track.
Are the women in Philippine teleserye doomed to always be swept off their feet by some men to garner the easiest way out?
The show may seem ordinary in the spectrum of teleseryes presented by the network, but with the bouts of recognition and attention it harbors, shows like Kadenang Ginto may have the tendency to succumb to society's patriarchal roots—a premise that has been the show's subdued message from the very beginning.
Now (with the plot lines tangled and recurring), the characters and their progressions can be attested to hopeful major changes (thankfully), as lead female characters are taking matters on their hands especially with Romina Andrada-Mondragon gaining more control over her circumstances, a (seemingly progressive) march of silent revolution, veering away from the initial premises of the show – yet still bound to its original plot line.
Trudging the Conventional
READ Binge-watch worthy films and TV series to keep you by this summer
While the network's teleseryes' cookie-cutter and cardboard characterizations of women are proven formulas, fresh perspectives are always a welcome venture with the exploration of complex female characters.
Writers and show producers must become more socially-reverberant that they not only choose to showcase shows that pay the rent. In the Philippines, it is slowly building its pace with independent films being at the forefront.
Unfortunately, most mainstream media consumers are still inclined with choosing the proven formulas so mass media practitioners also stick to what generates more audiences. What the consumers can do now is to try to become more adamant to good and progressive changes – utilize the everlasting "get out of your comfort zone" notion.
Media, as compared to what it tries to cater to before, has certainly come a long way with the sprouts of powerful women characters here and there. Unfortunately, Philippine mainstream media and its consumers sat way comfortably in the reassurance of these boxed and usual beliefs.
It may possibly take a while for these teleseryes to do the same with their high intentions to generate money, even if the essential purpose of art to heighten and challenge the empathic tendencies of the people can definitely suffer.

Upstone is also on a 16-7 (70%) run in college basketball, and he will have a 6-Unit Play on Saturday that you don't want to miss.

Much of his profits this year have been on the college football gridiron, but he's red hot right now in the NFL, going 9-4 in his last 13 pro football selections. Sharpe is excited for this upcoming week with college bowl game action going combined with his NFL plays. Join in the winning!
RAPHAEL ESPARZA is coming off another winning NFL Sunday in football as the former sportsbook director cashed his 6-Unit Play on the Chiefs-Saints 'Over'. Two weeks ago, on a Sunday night, Esparza hit his 8-Unit Game of the Year Play with the Bills. Saturday he will have a 6-Unit College Bowl Play, and Sunday Esparza is releasing a 7-Unit NFL Play. College bowl season has kicked off, and Esparza cashed his first Bowl game with North Texas-Appalachian St game going 'Over'.

Free College Football Prediction From Doug Upstone:
Take 'Over' 47.5 South Carolina vs. UAB (Noon, Saturday, Dec. 26)
The Gasparilla Bowl got a new sponsor (Bad Boy Mowers previously) in Union Home Mortgage. I'm not suggesting to mortgage your house on this free play, just consider it for a smaller play. South Carolina has a new head coach coming in, and the existing coaches and returning should want to make a good first impression, especially in the midst of a 0-6 SU and ATS downward spiral. You know UAB will be juiced after winning the Conference USA title for the second time in three years, with the upset of Marshall. Also, the Blazers would love to knock off an SEC club. Though this seems to have makings of a real defensive struggle, I'm looking the other direction because of this. In minor December bowl games with the total between 42.5 and 49, the two have combined to post a 36-10 OVER mark in the last several bowls when this occurs.

Free NFL Football Prediction From Jason Sharpe:
Take #457 Tampa Bay (-9.5) over Detroit (1 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 26)
The Detroit Lions made a change with their head coach a few weeks back, and they showed some fight early on with interim HC Darrell Bevell running the show. The Lions are now officially out of the playoff hunt after last week's loss to Tennessee, and you have to wonder how much effort and enthusiasm this team had right now. This Detroit team is decimated with injuries, including starting quarterback Matthew Stafford, who I wouldn't be surprised if the Lions decide not to play him in this meaningless contest. The Lions have been hammered in games they have lost this year, losing by an average of 14 points per game in their 9 defeats this season. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have been a fairly consistent team this season as they tend to struggle against winning teams while dominating bad teams like Detroit, going 7-1 straight-up against teams with a below .500 record and winning by an average of 13 points per game. Look for the Bucs to wear down the Lions and pull away late. Take Tampa Bay minus the points.

Free College Football Prediction From Doc's Sports:
Take #287 Western Kentucky (+4.5) over Georgia State (3:30 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 26)
LendingTree Bowl -- The Hilltoppers were one of the most disappointing teams in the country early in the season. They brought back talent and experience but were not competitive early, losing 6 of their first 8 games. They won three straight games to close out the regular season, and I believe they are the better team in this matchup. Georgia State finished strong as well, but I just do not believe that they have the same talent as does WKU. The Hilltoppers are 5-1 ATS (1 push) in their last 7 games played during the month of December. The Panthers are 3-8 ATS (1 push) in their last 11 games against teams with a losing record. Do not miss out on Doc's Sports Weekend Football card highlighted by our Bowl Game of the Year and strong college and NBA daily plays.

Free NFL Football Prediction From Strike Point Sports:
Take #459 San Francisco (+4.5) over Arizona (4:30 p.m., Saturday. Dec. 26)
This is a great spot to grab the points. This game has field goal final written all over it, and we are jumping at the fact that we can get a San Fran team that just doesn't give up. The Cards are playing solid football but very easily could've lost to the Eagles last weekend. Arizona has won two games in a row, but they were against NFC East bottom feeders in the Eagles and Giants. They have momentum, but the last time they played a good team they lost to the Rams by 10. Now we aren't saying San Fran is good, but they play hard and this is a Divisional rivalry game. Look for San Francisco to give Arizona all they can handle and for the kicker to be the deciding factor as this has the makings of a 23-20 game.

Free NFL Football Prediction From Raphael Esparza:
Take 'Over' 47.5 Miami at Las Vegas (8 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 26)
The Las Vegas Raiders will be without Derek Carr in this game, but I see Marcus Mariota picking up the offense and putting up some points against the Dolphins 'D'. The Raiders are trending 'Over' games, cashing 3-Straight and 4 out 5, and Saturday night we should see points in this game. The Dolphins scored 22 points against the Patriots defense last week. And with the Dolphins on the road, I see this game going 'Over'. During the last 6 meetings between these two teams, all 6 of them have gone "Over' and the Raiders are 5-1-1 O/U in their last 7 home games.

Free College Basketball Prediction From Strike Point Sports:
Take Illinois-Chicago over Milwaukee (3 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 27)
We've hit a previous free pick with UIC, and we like this spot just the same for the Flames. Illinois-Chicago comes into this one 2-0 in the league, as are the Panthers. I rate their two victories over Oakland much higher than Milwaukee's wins over a bad Green Bay team. UIC has covered in road spots against Northern Illinois and Ball State, and I like for the Flames to win this game outright and stay unbeaten in Horizon play.

Free College Basketball Prediction From Robert Ferringo:
Take Providence (-6) over DePaul (4:30 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 27)
Merry Christmas to all! I am locked and loaded with my football, NBA and college basketball services. With this game, we're looking to take advantage of the mess of a season that DePaul has had. As of this writing, they still haven't played a game yet this year! This would be just their second game of the year and it would be their first road game of the season. Insane. Providence has won three in a row and they already have wins over three Top 70 opponents. I think they should be able to handle the Demons here. DePaul still has Charlie Moore. But reports are that two other returning starters, Romeo Weems and Jaylen Butz, are away from the program. That would leave Moore playing with a couple of transfers and a bunch of nobodies. That's not going to be enough. The Friars are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games overall and they are 7-2 ATS after a win. I'll lay out the points here.

Free NFL Football Prediction From Allen Eastman:
Take Buffalo (-7) over New England (8 p.m., Monday, Dec. 28)
No one thought at the beginning of the year that the Bills would be big favorites in this game! They have earned this respect. Buffalo came through for another 6-Unit winner for me last week in a blowout win over New England, and I think that they can do it again here. They are the hottest team in the NFL right now and are on a 6-0 ATS winning streak. The Patriots have nothing left to play for. New England is going to miss the playoffs for the first time in over a decade and just the second time in 20 years. I don't think that they will give a very strong effort here. The Bills won the first meeting 24-21, and they are 3-1 ATS in their last four meetings against the Patriots. Buffalo is 12-5 ATS in its last 17 road games and they are 9-4 ATS as a favorite. The road team is 21-8 ATS in the last 29 meetings and Buffalo is 4-2 ATS in its last six game in New England. Look for another Bills blowout on Monday. Lay the points.

Health Visitor Wins Solar PV System For Family Home Thanks to NHS Donation
Posted on August 6, 2020 Comments Off on Health Visitor Wins Solar PV System For Family Home Thanks to NHS Donation
Julian and Jennie Churchill of Tollerton are the lucky winners of a fully fitted solar PV system, donated by Nottinghamshire renewable energy company Geo Green Power, which will be fitted to their family home this summer.
In May, Geo Green Power offered UK homeowners the chance to win a free solar PV system in return for donations to NHS Charities Together. Jennie, who was starting to research solar energy, came across the competition on Geo Green Power's website after they were recommended by a family friend.
Jennie, who works for the NHS as a Health Visitor, said: "We moved into our home with our two boys three years ago, and investing in solar panels has always been something that we wanted to do. We're delighted to have won, as it's allowed us to have them fitted much sooner.
"Moving to a greener way of life is important to us. We're also saving up for an electric car and have used some of this money to upgrade the 1.5kW system we won so we can generate more renewable energy for our home. And when we do get an electric vehicle, we can use green energy to charge it!"
Geo Green Power launched their fundraiser on JustGiving in order to say thank you to our amazing NHS teams who are continuing to work so hard during the Covid-19 pandemic. Homeowners who donated and entered the draw before 16 July had a chance to win and Julian's winning ticket was drawn on 20th July. A total of £1,255 has been raised to date with the page still open for anyone who would like to make further donations. justgiving.com/fundraising/geogreenpower-fundraising.
Director, James Cunningham, said: "The last few months have been difficult to say the least. But we all know that things could have been much worse, if it wasn't for our amazing NHS and that's why we decided to give back and raise money to say thank you.
"As we look to the future, we're hoping that the UK really will make a green recovery, and we wish the Churchill family all the best as they take their first step on their sustainable journey."
Once installed the Churchill's solar PV system will be providing free, clean electricity and reducing the family's carbon footprint by 1.2 tonnes of CO2 every year and saving money on their electricity bills.
The 1.5kW system and install are being donated by Geo Green Power completely free of charge, so all money raised will go directly to NHS Charities Together.

Jan. 13 (UPI) -- On this date in history:
In 1910, radio pioneer and electron tube inventor Lee Deforest arranged the world's first public radio broadcast, a performance by the New York Metropolitan Opera.
In 1915, nearly 30,000 people were killed in an earthquake in Avezzano, Italy.
In 1941, Irish novelist James Joyce died at age 58 following surgery for a perforated ulcer in Zurich, Switzerland.
In 1968, Johnny Cash recorded his infamous At Folsom Prison live record.

Helping users to better understand: the different digital file types used in the design industry, their uses, and compatibility during the production process.
If you've ever received files from a designer but couldn't open or preview them on your computer, it's most probably due to file format incompatibility with the program you are using. These weird files may be in EPS, AI, TIFF, or PSD format. Other more common file types such as JPEG or PDF are compatible with basic programs and email.
Computer graphics are created as either raster or vector images.
Comprised of colour pixels which collectively form an image. The quality is relative to the total number of pixels (resolution measured by WxH) hence the higher the pixels, the more detailed or sharper the image.
Increasing the size of a raster image means enlarging the pixels. This leads to loss of quality or pixel density in relation to the screen resolution.
Comprises lines and shapes filled with solid colours or gradients to form graphics and illustrations. This is the sharpest, clearest form of graphics. It retains the clarity regardless of how much resizing is done.
Because the image is made of lines rather than pixels, the quality is unaffected when the image is enlarged.
This is a standard format compatible with a wide variety of platforms, using superior compression techniques. JPGs do not support transparent backgrounds. Their level of compression can vary in resolution with high-quality for desktop printing, medium quality for web viewing and low quality for email. When compressed repeatedly, the quality of a JPG image is reduced.
PSDs are the industry standard files for working with high quality photo images. These files are compatible with layers which make them ideal for image editing and manipulation.
Used for high-quality images, TIFFs are common in photography and commercial printing. They are preferred for their wide compatibility with the various imaging solution softwares.
A GIF is a low resolution graphic file format commonly used for web and email. Almost all browsers can support the use of GIF files, which use a compression scheme to minimise file size and electronic transfer time. GIFs are also animated using various compatible software.
PNG files are high-quality bitmap images that employ lossless data compression. PNG supports 24-bit images and produces background transparency without jagged edges. However, some web browsers do not support PNG images.
A PDF is a universal file format that preserves and embeds the fonts, images, layout and graphics of any source document, regardless of the application used to create it. PDF files can be shared, viewed and printed by anyone with the free Adobe Acrobat Reader software. PDF is extremely versatile and can be used for either proofing or printing high-resolution files.
EPS files are used by designers to transfer an image or artwork, generally a vector file, into another application. EPS files can be opened using Adobe Illustrator, Freehand, or Adobe Photoshop. Printers prefer EPS format files, they are completely scalable.
These are vector files created using the Adobe Illustrator program. They are used by designers and printers to generate files of different file formats and sizes. AI files can only be opened using Adobe Illustrator and may be created in layers. An AI file is one of the most preferred formats by printers and is completely scalable.
A vector image format which generally has the same build qualities as an AI vector file. The main difference is that SVG files are XML based, allowing them to be searched, scripted, compressed and indexed. This make them ideal for online use, animation and interactivity.

Types Of Races
Sports Review
Sprint cup Race Tracks
Track / December 19, 2018
Chris Trotman/Getty Images Sport/Getty Images
Martinsville Speedway held it's first NASCAR race in 1948. Martinsville is the only race track that still remains from NASCAR's very first season. The following year Martinsville Speedway held the sixth race of the season on September 25th, 1949. This was NASCAR's new series that would continue on to become the NASCAR Sprint Cup series.
Darlington Raceway. Logo Courtesy of NASCAR
Built in 1949, Darlington Raceway was NASCAR's first superspeedway. Darlington held it's first race, the Southern 500, on September 4th, 1950. Sadly the great Southern 500 no longer exists, but at least Darlington Raceway is still on the schedule.
Richmond International Raceway
Richmond International Raceway. Logo Courtesy of NASCAR
Richmond International Raceway has gone through many changes since it first saw NASCAR action on April 19th, 1953. Originally it was a half-mile dirt oval. In 1968 the track was paved to form a .542 mile asphalt oval. It stayed that way until 1988 when the track was dug up and replaced with the current 3/4 mile 'D' shape configuration.
Watkins Glen International
Watkins Glen International. Logo Courtesy of NASCAR
Watkins Glen International first held a NASCAR Cup series event on August 4th, 1957. However, it was left off the schedule until racing returned in 1964 and 1965. There is another long gap as the track struggled financially and even closed for a few years. Then NASCAR racing returned for good in 1986 to the revitalized Watkins Glen. This track is the fourth oldest, but it has held fewer races overall than many others currently on the schedule.
Daytona International Speedway. Logo courtesy of NASCAR and Daytona International Speedway
Bill France built this shrine to speed for the 1959 season. It opened in February of 1959 and hosted the very first Daytona 500 on February 22nd of that year. Today Daytona International Speedway is such a modern facility it is hard to remember that it is one of NASCAR's oldest.

Film location contract template, In the word of property laws and contracts, there is a situation where the property right to perform under a contract could be bought and sold. Courts will differentiate between the mission of your right to receive performance from the other party, and the delegation of your obligation to perform a contractual promise. For example, if you are able of the landlord under an apartment rental agreement, you have an option of delegating the right to receive the monthly lease payment to another party.
In such case, you are not delegating your initial duty to keep the property well working. On the other hands, if you're in a position of tenant, you have an option of delegating your obligation to make a monthly rental payment for your replacement tenant. And at exactly the same time it is still possible to assign your right to live in the apartment.
There's a difference between those instances. However once you delegate your duties, you might not be entirely out of the duties as you thought initially. In case the substitute tenant fails to pay the rent, it's still possible for the landlord to contact you and collect any unpaid amount of payment from you. If you do not like this term, then there is a way of altering this basic legal rule on the written rental agreement forms.
Once the contract rights and responsibilities are assigned or delegated between related parties, there are some exceptions to those rules which may be used in particular circumstances. One of those examples could be that the parties to a contract could specifically agree that no such assignment or delegation is permitted. In other situations, some contracts make the rights and responsibilities nontransferable.
When you make an assignment of contract, usually you specify the value received, assignor of the rights, title and interest and the assignee along with both parties signatures. And after the contract is created, it is important to inform the party who's expecting to receive the performance that was given on the contract mission because of mutual agreement.


Part of our vintage collection! This is a true art deco period piece (1920s-1930s) set in 18kt white gold with a show-stopping diamond center stone. This particular diamond center is an approximate .20 carat euro-cut stone. The diamond has excellent symmetry, color and sparkle and has obviously been very well preserved and maintained throughout it's lifetime. This piece comfortably fits a size 6.5.

What Really Matters for Brands on Social?
Airs bi-weekly
Social media has become so ubiquitous that everyone has an opinion on how it works and what drives marketing effectiveness. However, not everyone can be right. We're under the illusion that we are in control on social, that we are rationally commanding the algorithm, rather than being led by it.
The same misconception that guides this illusion of control also drives the misconception that we have to actively engage with content for it to have an impact. We must like, comment and share. However, this couldn't be further from the truth. We spend our lives in a state of low-attention and the majority of what we process is done implicitly via our subconscious radar impacting our thoughts and feelings and leaving an imprint on memory. This is no different on social as we scroll through our feeds in a state of continuous partial attention, seeking out reward or rather empty-calorie brain candy.
How then should brands guide their social activity for maximum impact? What really matters when it comes to social media marketing?
Neil, Jerry, and Aoife apply their different experiences and expertise to the question and discuss ways in which marketing science learnings are helping to bust social media myths and drive long-term effectiveness.
Tune in and learn about:
- Your brain on social media
- Why engagement isn't everything
- Virality vs organic reach
- The key considerations for your brand's social media strategy
- How neuro-based research techniques can help create more effective social content
You're Probably Wrong Overview
We live our lives assuming understanding of people and our world. The same is true for marketing. But most of these assumptions are probably wrong, and marketing science and expertise explains why. This series challenges our existing knowledge and considers the implications and opportunities of realising that it's probably wrong.
