For example, such Similarly, if the guarantor is not in control of the conditions may include (i) paying the rent and all tenant, the guarantor should think very carefully other obligations under the lease to the date of about whether she should guarantee the tenant’s surrender, (ii) leaving the premises in the condition required under the lease, (iii) giving landlord proper notice of its intention to 2 Note, however, that if a landlord secures a surrender the premises as defined in the guaranty judgment against a tenant, it may seek to pursue an and surrendering possession to the right party. action for fraudulent conveyance or an action to pierce the corporate veil in an attempt to reach the What many good guy guarantors do not realize is principals or the parent entities. that only the guarantor is released from liability 3 Of course, if the guarantor loses control of the when the tenant or guarantor satisfies all the tenant, she may seek judicial relief, but, as we all conditions of the good guy guaranty.

The purpose of this study was two-fold: a) to explore the experience and meaning-making processes of individuals who have maintained a weight loss and b) to explore how this learning manifested in successful weight maintenance and improved self-identity despite cultural stressors. This study was grounded in three intersecting theoretical frameworks relating to adult education: Transtheorectical Model of Behavior Change Transformational Learning Theory and Critical Media Literacy as informed by Critical Public Pedagogy. Narrative inquiry was chosen to study the nine stories of adult participants who successfully maintained a weight loss that bring meaning to the weight loss maintenance experience.

  • Are You Prepared for the Woman of Your Dreams?
    Are You Prepared for the Woman of Your Dreams? Love has influenced wars, music, art, politics, laws, organizations, etc. If you thought approaching and attracting the girl of your dreams was going to be an easy 5 step- style blog, you’re wrong. It’s a journey, and one that’s going to be more about you than her. I’ve read a lot of surprisingly good information from pickup artists about approaching a girl, but if all you want is a one-night stand, you’re in the wrong place. This is about finding something meaningful, and about living a FULL life, not one of regrets. Any tactic employing an “act” or “game” might temporarily work, but it won’t work in the long run because there is no authenticity. What happens when you finally remove the mask? Neil Strauss, the pickup artist king, admits he did not use the techniques from The Game on his wife. While pick-up artists have been portrayed as the bad guys, there is another type of guy equally as bad, and maybe worse: it’s the nice guy. As Robert Glover puts it in his book No More Mr. Nice Guy, “Nice Guys interpret a woman’s approval as the ultimate validation of their worth.” He has no self-worth and finds his worth in other people. It’s why he’s a people pleaser. Instead of using trickery like the pick-up artist, the passive nice guy believes if he does everything “right,” she will fall in love with him. This type of guy hides behind the nice persona, but in reality he’s self- righteous, and upset when the girl does not like him, claiming, “She only goes for jerks.” Whether you employ the ideas of the pick-up artist or the overly nice sensitive guy, you’re doing the exact same thing: you’re putting on an act.
