These sources collectively explain the fundamental concept of consideration in American contract law, defining it as a bargained-for exchange of legal value necessary for a promise to be enforceable. They differentiate it from illusory promises or gifts, which lack a genuine mutual obligation, and clarify that courts generally do not assess the adequacy of consideration as long as it exists and is not a sham, sometimes using the metaphor of a "peppercorn". The texts also highlight exceptions to the consideration requirement, notably promissory estoppel, which allows enforcement when one party reasonably relies on another's promise to their detriment, and address the pre-existing duty rule, detailing how modifications to existing contracts typically require new consideration or fall under specific exceptions like those found in the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC).A gratuitous promise is a one-sided promise made without any expectation of a return promise or performance and is generally not legally enforceable. A contractual promise, however, is part of a bargained-for exchange, involving mutual consideration, and is therefore legally enforceable.Consideration is a thing of legal value (money, property, an act, or forbearance) promised or exchanged between parties that binds them together in a contractual agreement. It serves as the mutual exchange that makes a promise enforceable by law.Courts generally do not inquire into the adequacy or relative value of consideration, focusing instead on whether any legal value was genuinely bargained for. For instance, paying a "peppercorn" (a nominal amount) for something of much greater value can still be valid consideration if it was truly exchanged.Past consideration is not valid because it refers to something given or performed before the contract is established; it was not bargained for or induced by the promisor's current promise. For consideration to be valid, it must be current or future and mutually agreed upon.The pre-existing duty rule states that a promise to perform an act that one is already legally obligated to do cannot serve as consideration for a new promise. Its main purpose is to prevent coercion and ensure that any new agreement involves a genuine, new exchange of value.An illusory promise is a commitment that appears to be a promise but does not actually bind the promisor to any specific action or obligation, often because they retain unfettered discretion. It fails to create a binding contract due to a lack of mutual obligation and real commitment.The purpose of the doctrine of promissory estoppel is to allow for the enforcement of a promise, even without traditional consideration, when injustice can only be avoided by doing so. It protects parties who have reasonably relied on a promise to their detriment.Three essential elements for promissory estoppel are: a clear and definite promise, reasonable reliance on that promise by the promisee, and a substantial detriment incurred by the promisee as a result of that reliance.Under promissory estoppel, courts typically award reliance damages, which aim to restore the aggrieved party to the position they were in before the promise was made. Expectation damages, which would give the benefit of the bargain, are generally not available, as the doctrine focuses on preventing injustice due to reliance rather than enforcing the full promise.The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), particularly for sales of goods (UCC § 2-209), permits contract modifications without requiring new consideration, provided that the modifications are made in good faith. This offers a more flexible framework compared to traditional common law.

Claire Deason and Nicole LeFave dive headfirst into one of the wildest twists in remote work yet: North Korean laptop farms. Yes, you read that right. What starts as a conversation about post-pandemic remote work compliance quickly turns into a real-life cyber-thriller involving allegations of fake employees, IT gigs and millions of dollars funneled to fund weapons programs. Claire breaks down how these schemes may slip past even the most sophisticated employers – and what companies can do to tighten their remote work policies before things get weird(er). But it's not all cloak-and-dagger. The duo also explores the surprising science behind video meetings versus phone calls. Spoiler: your brain might be working harder than it needs to on Zoom, and not in a good way. With insights from Stanford University and the journal Cerebral Cortex, they unpack how different formats may affect creativity, emotional connection and cognitive load – and what that means for managing employees in a hybrid world. https://www.littler.com/news-analysis/podcast/littler-lounge-behind-screen-fraud-fatigue-and-other-considerations-remote

Shotgun Spratling and Chris Trevino are back together for a special behind-the-scenes edition of the Helium Boys Podcast. The Helium Boys work through the process of compiling and debating spots No. 11 through 20 for the initial summer ranking of USCFootball.com's Top 30 Most Important Trojans' list for the 2025 season. For the sixth year in a row, the USCFootball.com staff is counting down the Top 30 Most Important Trojans in a series of offseason articles leading up to the kickoff of fall camp. The series is based off our staff's guesses on the development of returners as well as the value of newcomers as the Trojans' roster comes together after another offseason of turnover under head coach Lincoln Riley. Each USCFootball.com staff member submits his own list of whom he believes will be the most important Trojans. Considerations for the rankings take in a wide range of factors including positional depth, 2024 stats, overall talent, departures from the previous season, projected development and expectations. The only guidance we try to follow is that the most important factor for placement is if this particular player was lost for the season, how detrimental would it be to the team and the overall success of the season. The individual lists are submitted and compiled before Shotgun and Chris come together to sift through the information, debate and assemble the official USCFootball.com rankings. In this podcast, the Helium Boys give you a peek behind the curtain, allowing you to listen in on the second third of the rankings discussion as they debate and settle on the initial summer preseason rankings for No. 11 through No. 20, which may be the most difficult in determining because these are often players we think have a lot of potential, but haven't always reached the top end of that potential.

The musical world (both in music education, technology, and music ministry) has been adjusting to the reality of a world without Finale. It's been a guiding post in music notation software for many musicians. It's the software I learned on in music school. But sadly, after announcing last year that MakeMusic (Finale's parent company) would no longer support new software updates, it was time to begin shopping for another option. Today's episode of Ministry Monday features the prelude to a 4-part series on music notation software that NPM offered in the spring of 2024. While we invite you to watch all sessions if you're an NPM member (as it is a membership benefit), we offer a segment of the first episode which featured a discussion on copyright licensing within the paradigm of music notation software. To put it bluntly, we ask: are we allowed to re-engrave on music notation software, for the sake of a unified worship aid? If so, how do we report? And many more questions. For more information on Dorico, a music notation software which has become the frontrunner for Finale's replacement, check out the article written by Tony Ward in the July edition of Pastoral Music magazine. It's a resource that's yet another benefit of an NPM membership. (Have I sold you on renewing your membership yet?)

Christ is the GOAT
Friends,One reason I started this show eight years ago was to have big talk instead of small talk, to get us past surface conversations and into thinking more deeply. I hate small talk is because it's so algorithmic or pre-programmed. It's limited by its connection to the past and expectations. I don't want to have conversations that could be produced by just anyone in any context with predictable results.I wanted something more living, surprising, vitalizing; conversations that nourished pushing my thoughts and feelings and actions forward. So the mission of this show has always been, in a way, to address to algorithm.The conversations on AI in the public sphere have been so dead and dead-ended even when they're well-meaning. My big problem is not that people aren't saying brilliant things about A.I. -- I'm not sure I'm up for that task either -- just that everyone is saying the same stupid things over and over. There are phony debates held with unearned urgency, wild projections based on investment fantasies, and anxieties produced by deliberate mystifying hype.On this episode, I go over 11 thoughts I have on AI to get to where we need to go for a better base level conversation. My hope is this clears out some debris and helps us to start thinking about in new directions.In other words, this is more about the discussion about AI than AI itself - . I don't have a “side” on AI - but I want to talk beyond some of the most repeated pointsI hope this offers a fruitful new starting place.SUPPORT THE SHOW ON PATREON: patreon.com/connerhabib

M&A deals usually involve a vast amount of legal fine print, and small oversights can have very costly consequences. To help you navigate this, CJ is joined in this episode by Trey O'Callaghan, a partner in Tech, M&A, and Emerging Companies at Goodwin. Trey breaks down the strategic role M&A lawyers play throughout the deal process in terms of both legal and business advice to help avoid costly missteps. The conversation explores when to involve legal counsel, issues like sales tax and contractor classification, and common deal-killers such as IP ownership and unresolved co-founder disputes. Trey also explains why earn-outs are the most litigated part of M&A deals and how to handle them wisely. The discussion touches on the personal implications of M&A deals for CFOs and how to negotiate adequate compensation. Trey also covers non-compete and non-solicit agreements, and the importance of understanding working capital fluctuations.—LINKS:Trey O'Callaghan on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/trey-o-callaghan-3196896a/Goodwin: https://www.goodwinlaw.com/CJ on X (@cjgustafson222): https://x.com/cjgustafson222Mostly metrics: http://mostlymetrics.com—TIMESTAMPS:(00:00) Preview and Intro(02:12) Sponsor – Navan | NetSuite | Pulley(06:55) The Types of Law Trey Specialises In(10:08) When a Company Should Engage With an M&A Lawyer(16:52) Sponsor – Brex | Aleph | RightRev(21:24) Deals That Have Fallen Apart(24:15) Unpaid Sales Tax as a Common, Solvable Issue(25:27) Issues With Contractors and How To Solve Them(27:08) Problems With IP Ownership(28:37) Co-Founder Issues(29:43) The Most Litigated Part of M&A Deals: Earn-Outs(34:30) Choosing the Right Plan To Use To Sell the Company(37:11) Deal Fatigue(38:36) The TLDR on Earn-Outs(39:57) The Ideal Mindset for the CFO During the Deal Process(42:33) When and How To Negotiate Compensation as a CFO(47:55) Understanding Working Capital Fluctuations(52:25) Non-Competes: How They Work(56:34) Considerations for Non-Solicits(59:51) Closing Words for Anyone Doing an M&A Deal—SPONSORS:Navan is the all-in-one travel and expense solution that helps finance teams streamline reconciliation, enforce policies automatically, and gain real-time visibility.

Shotgun Spratling and Chris Trevino are back together for a special behind-the-scenes edition of the Helium Boys Podcast. The Helium Boys work through the process of compiling and debating spots No. 21 through 30 as well as the First Five Out for the initial summer ranking of USCFootball.com's Top 30 Most Important Trojans' list for the 2025 season. For the sixth year in a row, the USCFootball.com staff is counting down the Top 30 Most Important Trojans in a series of offseason articles leading up to the kickoff of fall camp. The series is based off our staff's guesses on the development of returners as well as the value of newcomers as the Trojans' roster comes together after another offseason of turnover under head coach Lincoln Riley. Each USCFootball.com staff member submits his own list of whom he believes will be the most important Trojans. Considerations for the rankings take in a wide range of factors including positional depth, 2024 stats, overall talent, departures from the previous season, projected development and expectations. The only guidance we try to follow is that the most important factor for placement is if this particular player was lost for the season, how detrimental would it be to the team and the overall success of the season. The individual lists are submitted and compiled before Shotgun and Chris come together to sift through the information, debate and assemble the official USCFootball.com rankings. In this podcast, the Helium Boys give you a peek behind the curtain, allowing you to listen in on the first third of the rankings discussion as they debate and settle on the initial summer preseason rankings for No. 21 through No. 30 and the First Five Out (31-35).

Don't underestimate what one act of kindness can do!
Short term weight loss sounds great BUT it's not all fat – it's muscle! Muscle will be much harder to regain as we age because of anabolic resistance.. Clothes might feel loose and you get weight loss compliments. But short term weight loss is just giving a “false positive” honeymoon period. This might mean you divorced muscle, the love of your life. 1. Muscle Mass Loss (Sarcopenia) Protein Deficiency Protein is essential for building and maintaining muscle tissue. Insufficient protein intake exacerbates muscle atrophy and increases the risk of falls and injuries. Excessive Cardio Prolonged cardio can lead to a breakdown of muscle tissue for energy, particularly if glycogen stores are depleted. This can worsen age-related muscle loss and counteract maintaining strength and function. 2. Bone Health (Osteoporosis) Protein Deficiency Protein is needed for bone health and bone density. Inadequate protein intake, especially after menopause, increases the risk of osteoporosis and fractures. Osteoporosis Risks After menopause, risk of osteoporosis increases due to declining estrogen levels and can weaken bones prone to fracture. Sarcopenia and Osteoporosis Link Having both increases the risk of falls and fractures. Poor nutrition leads to sarcopenic obesity and increases the risk of osteoporosis. 3. Other Negative Effects Reduced Physical Function Since inadequate protein leads to muscle loss, this reduces strength, impaired balance, and decreased ability to perform daily activities. Slow-Healing Injuries Protein repairs tissues. Deficiency can slow wound healing and recovery from injuries. Weakened Immune Function Amino acids from protein build antibodies and maintain a healthy immune system. Low protein intake can lead to frequent illnesses and infections. Potential Cardiac Issues (Excessive Cardio) Associated with potential adverse cardiac effects, such as myocardial fibrosis and an increased risk of atrial fibrillation, in some individuals. Musculoskeletal Injuries (Excessive Cardio) Increases the risk of musculoskeletal issues like osteoarthritis and stress fractures. What Can You Do Instead of A Short Term Weight Loss Recommendations: Prioritize protein intake with 30 grams each meal. Balance cardio and strength training to build and maintain muscle mass. Listen to your body and avoid pushing yourself too hard or engaging in prolonged, strenuous exercise if it causes excessive fatigue or pain.
