Torrens system

Read a random definition: continuing warranty

A quick definition of Torrens system:

The Torrens system is a way of proving that someone owns a piece of land. First, the person gets a document that shows the history of the land, called an abstract of title. Then, they go to court and ask for a title certificate, which proves that they own the land. This system is named after a man named Sir Robert Torrens, who helped change the laws about land in Australia. Some places in the United States use this system too.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: The Torrens system is a way of establishing ownership of real estate. It involves getting an abstract of title and then applying to a court for a title certificate. This certificate is proof that you own the property. The system is named after Sir Robert Torrens, who reformed land laws in Australia in the 19th century. Some counties in the United States use this system.

Example: John wants to buy a house. He gets an abstract of title to make sure there are no problems with the property's ownership history. Then he applies to the court for a title certificate. Once he has the certificate, he knows that he is the rightful owner of the house.

Explanation: The Torrens system is a way to make sure that people have clear ownership of real estate. By getting a title certificate, they can be sure that no one else has a claim to the property. This helps prevent disputes over ownership.

Bro didnt realize that Application review is on a rolling basis. Decisions are made on individual applications as quickly as possible; however, the time required to a make a decision will vary among applications. A rolling admission process allows for extending the review process as appropriate ensuring that each application receives full and individualized attention in the context of careful comparison to other complete applications.

Raw eggs roll down my throat. I actually like eating raw eggs, however, the feeling of a glob of yolk/albumen gives me the feeling of chocking. Idk I personally think pushing yourself in all regards is a net positive, so I dig it. How many raw eggs have you ever eaten/drank at once? My record is 10
I sent an email to NYU with an updated resume, every other school I sent it to responded within a day and NYU still hasn't
I got a big internship so I wanted to let all schools know
And NYU and Stanford just no response
