Student loans place a heavy financial burden on millions of Americans. Combined with credit cards, auto loans, mortgages, and other large payments, student loans can be a major player in creating a massive, unsustainable pileup of debt. Many people who declare bankruptcy do so in order to get out from under the stifling weight of large monthly payments from their student loan provider. However, whether or not your student loans can be discharged via bankruptcy depends on which chapter you file and the specifics of your circumstances.
Discharging Student Debts Under Chapter 13 or Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
If the court determines that your student debts don't create undue hardship, your student loans will not be discharged under Chapter 7 or Chapter 13. However, if you file under Chapter 13 and your student debts are not discharged, you may at least be able to make minimized payments during the repayment period. However, even with a reduced payment during the life of your Chapter 13 plan, you will still be required to pay the remaining amount of your student debts thereafter.
Proving Undue Hardship
One of the only ways you can successfully have your student loan debts dissolved during bankruptcy is to prove the following:
- You have made an honest attempt to pay back your student loans.
- You are not able to simultaneously pay down your student debts and provide a basic, acceptable standard of living for yourself and your dependents.
- Your financial situation is unlikely to change for an extended period of time.
A court may use other tests to determine whether it can, in good conscience, relieve you of your student loan debts. While courts are typically hesitant to relieve debtors of student loans, the result will depend on your unique circumstances.

Last night I dreamed of a red moon,
Permeating me with her most blessed grace.
Looking up in awe at her, I was taken into heaven,
Shown the other worlds,
And revealed the mysteries of creation.
Could there ever be anything as magnificent?
Is it even possible to imagine
Wanting anything more than this?
It was then that I was offered a choice:
To remain here, to dance with the moon in heaven forever,
Infused with divine presence and endless beauty.
Or just one moment with the beloved one,
Holding her, touching her hair,
Entering into such sweet union.
The moon said, "Choose carefully,
For everything in this world is awaiting your decision."
I am hopeless!, oh red moon, there is no choice to make.
I have drunk the wine of the beloved
And will trade everything of this world to touch her.
All known and unknown heavens,
All known and unknown universes,
All known and unknown gods and goddesses,
And every red moon from now until eternity,
For just one moment with the beloved,
gazing into her eyes, and merging my heart with hers.
Behold the yogi of separation and union,
Forever following the beloved around the moon,
Practicing the yoga of a broken open heart.
The most graceful red moon that has ever been –
beyond words, beyond time, beyond space,
the purest of all divine revelation.
In my dream, I was offered
The most lovely view of heaven.
But I'd rather be with you.

GoBoat Kingston
Charter your own electric picnic boat without a licence. The friendly crew at GoBoat will provide boating instructions to ensure you're fully prepped to drive your very own tiller-controlled boat.
Each boat has seating for eight people around a central table creating a sociable space – even dogs are welcome on board. Passengers are encouraged to bring their own picnic and GoBoat will provide cosy blankets if the weather turns chilly.
The ride is a casual 4mph, the perfect speed for a lazy waterways journey. Designated captains will be given a map to help navigate their way; the route goes up river to Molesey Lock via Hampton Court Palace and down river to Teddington Lock.
GoBoats are powered by an almost silent electric motor, an eco-friendlier alternative to petrol engines. The deck and table are made from sustainably sourced forestry wood and the foam kernel is made from 80 per cent recycled PET – the equivalent of 600 plastic bottles.
GoBoat is making London's waterways accessible to everyone by providing a truly independent boating experience, seven days a week from 9am until dusk. A one-hour trip starts at £79 which between eight friends is less than a cinema ticket.

Alison Whybrow Coaching and Consulting
Alison Whybrow Coaching and Consulting
Over 20 years, I have developed a coaching approach that integrates business reality and psychological theory. This approach allows me to work at the client's 'comfortably uncomfortable' learning edge and create a shift or transformation in how they see themselves, their world and their ability to make a difference.
The starting point in any coaching work is to build trusted working relationships. As equals, we decide how we are going to work together and what we are going to do to make the most out of the opportunity. This working alliance is critical to the success of every coaching assignment.
Through questioning and appropriate challenge, clients reframe, drill down, and pan out from what they think they already know.
I build on the strengths of my clients. My coaching methodology is focused on impact.
I hold a curious frame judging the value of thoughts and behaviours in terms of the impact they have: Do they enable or disable; how do they enable, what patterns are emerging and what do we need to adjust to have a different impact.
Together we may experiment with standing differently, breathing differently, speaking differently, sitting in a different place in a system, mapping things out – to experience and learn what shifts might enable forward momentum.
My coaching is about building capability, sharing insight and supporting my clients to learn in a way that remains long after our final meeting has ended.

Chips with everything
Lab-on-a-chip technology could reduce a room full of equipment to the size of a microchip
By making everything smaller, more and more things can be crammed into minute devices. Scientists have a vision of a miniature 'laboratory on a chip' that could carry out many experiments at the same time.
One of the products of the miniaturisation trend has been the development of lab-on-a-chip tools: plastic, glass and silicon chips containing complex arrays of channels, pumps and valves that can move minute amounts of fluid and suspended solids.
These highly complex tools incorporate chemistry and signalling in a tiny space. Their uses include the separation and analysis of complex mixtures of molecules, miniaturised diagnostic or drug discovery tools, and high-throughput tools for studying gene or protein activity in cells or tissues.
The technological challenges are very great. With very small diameter tubes, for example, water does not flow freely, so moving substances around is very difficult; some groups are experimenting with active transport systems based on the molecules that transport material around cells.
Researchers in America have developed a lab-on-a-chip using nanotechnologies called the Domino. Incorporated into a functional component, this toaster-sized box can carry out genetic tests that usually require a whole lab of equipment. Not only this, it can do it all in a fraction of the time. The Domino can determine whether a patient is resistant to cancer drugs or has infections like malaria.
Examples such as the Domino show the great potential of lab-on-a-chip technology. They could make cutting-edge healthcare quick, accessible and affordable.Lead image:

The Washington Post: In Baltimore, Under Armour founder Kevin Plank "has plotted a $5.5 billion development project, one of the largest in the country, comprising 45 city blocks and more than two miles of riverfront … Plank's project, when completed in 25 years, would dwarf Baltimore's celebrated Inner Harbor, delivering a new Under Armour headquarters, tech and manufacturing businesses and 40 acres of parks. It would also yield hundreds of millions of dollars in projected tax revenue and provide an estimated 25,000 jobs."
"Plank unveiled a plan calling for 18 million total square feet, including offices, hotels, shopping, attractions and at least 7,500 residences in Port Covington, a peninsula isolated from the city by Interstate 95."
Says Plank: "We want to shine a light on this great city of Baltimore. I can tell you, I love this city. I love my company. I believe in this city. I believe in what's going to happen. And ladies and gentlemen, I can promise you, at Under Armour, we are truly, truly just getting started."

Give Adam our love :*
I had a long correspondence with Adam Keltz, Markabba's really existing friend in New York.
He's sorely missed - since he transformed into a Mark clone, ranting and raving like the man himself, and then stopped mailing altogether :(
So I hope Mark will pass on my fiendly [sic] greetings, and tell "Adam" I bear him no grudge for attempting to fool me into believing Mark had a real friend defending his offensive behavior.

My workouts this week would make you think I had shifted away from the world of triathlon and back to my early running days (that lacked any cross training). I didn't do any cross training, I spent no time on the bike, and, though not as surprising, I didn't get in the pool once. I was completely focused on running. It was a taper week to prepare for the half marathon that I had been training for in hopes of scoring a big PR. It was also the last preparation I was planning to do to PR at any running-only race this year. I wanted it to go well!
I still would call my workouts last week a success because of the result of the main event on Sunday! The Gasparilla Half Marathon turned out better than I could have hoped.
Here are my workouts:
Monday: Like usual, my full rest day.
Tuesday: 6 mile tempo run with middle 4 miles at tempo. I had planned not to take this one too hard since it was still a rest week, but what ended up feeling not too hard surprised me and made me excited for the weekend ahead. My tempo miles were 8:14, 8:06, 8:09, and 8:08, and they felt really manageable.
Wednesday: I had plans after work so ran with a colleague after work. It was fun, but it wasn't as slow as it should have been. I still ended up running 5 miles around 9:30 pace, when I was hoping to go more towards 10:00/mile.
Thursday: I ran 3 miles and took slow to a whole new level. I ran those three miles at a 10:27 pace, but somehow it felt harder than the tempo run on Tuesday. I guess my legs were just really tired and were trying to scare me.
Friday: Full rest day
Saturday: 2 mile shakeout run. It was so hot and humid and it made me really nervous for the following day. I did a couple of pickups and felt good, but I came back drenched in sweat from 2 miles in the high 9:50 range. I decided, though, that it wouldn't get me down. I wasn't going to let the weather dictate how my race went, even though I'd normally let it get in my head. So much of running and racing is mental, and I've been working on hard building mental strength with the physical strength.
Sunday: Gasparilla Half Marathon! I'm going to write my whole recap to post tomorrow, but I ran a 1:49:43 and blew my goals out of the water.
And now, after a few days of taking easy and working out my soreness, it's back to the grindstone with triathlon training. I have got to stop making excuses for getting up in the morning to swim or ride my bike. It isn't cute, and it isn't going to get me through 140.6 miles in September.
How was your week? Any racing?

Here's the monologues mentioned in the 'cast:
Monologue A - BLACK SHEEP
No one in the family respects me - the black sheep, they say; or if they're kinder, they call me the prodigal - basically a biblical word for screwup. So why even try? Why disappoint them when they all work so hard to point out my shortcomings? I'll just be the screwup they all believe I am. Except my brother, of course. He's just a bit brighter than the rest, as if he might be able to see past my façade, and actually understand the machinations underneath. So I fear he must die. He and that bitch of a wife, who gives me that cold fish eye every time I walk into her iceberg-inducing presence.
Monologue B - ELIZABETH (from Frankenstein)
I am the cousin of the unhappy child who was murdered, or rather his sister, for I was educated by, and have lived with his parents ever since and even long before his birth. It may, therefore, be judged indecent in me to come forward on this occasion. But when I see a fellow-creature about to perish through the cowardice of her pretended friends, I wish to be allowed to speak, that I may say what I know of her character. I am well acquainted with the accused. I have lived in the same house with her, at one time for five and at another for nearly two years. During all that period she appeared to me the most amiable and benevolent of human creatures. She nursed Madame Frankenstein, my aunt, in her last illness, with the greatest affection and care. And afterward attended her own mother during a tedious illness, in a manner that excited the admiration of all who knew her, after which she again lived in my uncle's house, where she was beloved by all the family. She was warmly attached to the child who is now dead, and acted toward him like a most affectionate mother. For my own part, I do not hesitate to say that, notwithstanding all the evidence produced against her, I believe and rely on her perfect innocence. She had no temptation for such an action. As to the bauble on which the chief proof rests, if she had earnestly desired it, I should have willingly given it to her, so much do I esteem and value her.

New York University and TrustYou, the inventor of the Meta-ReviewsTM and global online reputation management leader, have released the results of a study on the role of reviews in the travel planning process. The study examined the preference of consumers when using reviews to make travel purchases, evaluating their time investment, confidence/trust, and mobile experience. Specifically, the study compared user experiences with review summaries versus traditional full text reviews.
The study, which is available here for free download, was conducted by Donna Quadri-Felitti, Academic Chair and Clinical Associate Professor at NYU, School of Professional Studies Tisch Center for Hospitality and Tourism in conjunction with TrustYou.
"Travelers want a quick way to make their booking decisions while still getting all of the information that they need from review content. The findings from this research give both hotels and travel intermediaries clear direction in how to structure their websites so that travelers can make such decisions," says Donna Quadri-Felitti, Academic Chair and Clinical Associate Professor at NYU School of Professional Studies Tisch Center for Hospitality and Tourism.
"This research shows that summarized review content increases consumer trust while substantially decreasing the amount of time travelers need to read and digest review content. This trend is even stronger on mobile where time and space is even more limited. Travelers have clearly articulated how they want review content to be delivered in the future," adds Margaret Ady, Vice President of Marketing at TrustYou.
Key takeaways for intermediaries and hotels to increase conversions:
Traveler's Review Habits
- 95% of respondents report reading travel reviews prior to booking
- Leisure travelers reported reading an average of 6-7 reviews prior to booking and business travelers reported reading an average of 5
- Leisure travelers spend an average of 30 minutes reading reviews prior to booking a hotel and 10% of travelers spend more than one hour
- 52% of respondents said summarized review content is the most user friendly way to read reviews
- 80% said summarized reviews are time efficient, while only 59% said that of full text reviews
- 72% say summarized review content is mobile friendly, and 61% said they prefer to see only a review summary during their mobile bookings
The study was conducted using an online survey panel of 510 travelers, all of whom traveled during the last 12 months for leisure, business, or both. Respondents were evaluated two different presentations of reviews and described their user experience with each, rating their confidence level in making a booking decision.
For additional information about TrustYou, please contact Margaret Ady at email@example.com.
About TrustYou
TrustYou's Mission is to positively influence travelers' decisions. Reviews and user-generated content now rank #1 in influencing travelers' hotel selections and industry reputations. Digesting all of these opinions, however, is beyond any one person's capacity.

TrustYou searches, analyzes and distills hundreds of millions of opinions scattered across this vast, fragmented market. Our products are extensively used by suppliers – hotels, accommodations, restaurants – to provide travelers with better services and enhanced offerings by monitoring, surveying and acting upon all worldwide guest feedback. Travel intermediaries – OTAs, meta-search, destination marketers – use TrustYou's Meta-Reviews™ to help travelers purchase wisely.

SEO Tips for the Newbies
We all are conscious that SEO is quite significant. It's because of this that many are fearful to do this by themselves. However in actuality, SEO shouldn't be that tough – you just should know the basics and go from there. We should always keep in mind that search engines change their algorithms once in awhile, so we needs to be always updated. Make it a habit to visit boards or surf the web for something new about the search engines and SEO as a whole.
What's the very first thing we should always know? Backlinks… We'd like these and lots and lots of these. This may
be relevant to your web site or
not, it doesn't matter. What matters is the number of it.
The 2nd query is that –
where can we get backlinks
? They are just about in every single place within the web. It may be by way of articles, videos, discussion board or blog posts and so on. What is efficient now is social network posts. It seems that Twitter and Fb are the new loves of Google. So we will get backlinks on virtually every thing we do on the web – all we've to do is put our key phrases and the url of our site.
Results from SEO cannot be seen in a single day or just a few days. Normally, it will take a few months to see good outcomes – however you need to consistently create and build backlinks to your site. Many are getting anxious when doing the duty, when they don't see good outcome, they stop. Simply keep in mind that it takes time to see the fruits of their labor.
Another thing, SEO doesn't should be costly, however it would take an investment – it is both cash or time. You possibly can hire an SEO Company, ideally from the Philippines. However if you happen to select to go low budget be prepared to invest your time and maybe hire a virtual assistant for some menial tasks.
Zarah Pimentel is firstly a really proud mother to a 5year old girl. She is a co-founder of Hire a VA, an SEO Company in the Philippines that outsources an
SEO Company in the Philippines
that outsources Virtual Assistants and SEO specialists. She takes delight in with helping entrepreneurs grow their businesses by setting them free in doing basic duties and assisting them in more ways they could imagine.

Tyler Polumbus: I was blessed to play in Denver
Tyler Polumbus has said several times over the past two years that playing for the Broncos was a dream situation after growing up in Denver, attending Cherry Creek High and the University of Colorado.
So it was that much more disappointing when he was told Tuesday morning that the Broncos were placing him on waivers after two years on the team. Polumbus signed with the Broncos as an undrafted rookie in 2008.
"It was a little unexpected," Polumbus said Tuesday afternoon. "But I'm just blessed to have been able to start my career here in Denver in my hometown."
Other teams will be able to claim Polumbus over the next 24 hours. If he is not claimed, Polumbus will become a free agent. Polumbus has numerous connections around the league, including former coaches Mike Shanahan in Washington, Rick Dennison in Houston and Jeremy Bates in Seattle, all of whom run zone blocking schemes.
"It was a great two years," Polumbus said. "We're certainly eager to find out what our next destination will be."
Polumbus started eight games at right tackle in 2008 in place of Ryan Harris, and started training camp with the first-team offense at left tackle in place of Ryan Clady. But after about a week, the Broncos moved D'Anthony Batiste to the first-team, and Polumbus saw his repetitions decrease. On Saturday night against Detroit, rookie Zane Beadles, the projected starter at left guard, worked at left tackle in the second half.
"Not a whole lot said other than we're going to let you go, give you time to latch on somewhere else," Polumbus said.
Polumbus said he and his wife Elizabeth plan to live in Denver, regardless of where his next NFL stop may be.

I'm so very happy about the presidential election! Obama's speech last night was perfect, as always. I wish our senate race was final and favoring the other direction, though.
« Public Service Announcement | Main | Cruisin' for Bruisers »
That is absolutely totally gorgeous. I would kill for that wheel.
I know exactly what you mean about the Senate race. It's killing me that 25,000 people submitted ballots with the Presidential race marked, but didn't fill out much else.
Congrats on the lovely new wheel!
Oh, wow!!! It's so gorgeous! Congrats. :)
What a lovely wheel! May she bring you YEARS of good spinning.
The new wheel is just breathtaking. The wood grain is gorgeous. What a treasure you have there! I wish you hours, days, years of happy spinning.
you could spin straw into gold with that wheel :-)
Oooooh *drool* So pretty!
I'm thrilled with the results of the presidential election! I cried when it was announced. I'm waiting on the recount for the senate race - it's *so* close, and I think they're still counting absentee ballots or something, since the totals have changed quite a bit today. It actually sounds like the results may be challenged anyway, due to some shadiness with translators.
MOG that's a gorgeous wheel. Going back to you FT post was next on my "look at over coffee" list, but I stumbled here first. And that wheel is soooooo beyond words.
BTW, I'm also glad I didn't hear anything on the news last night about a crazy woman attacking a UPS truck!
Very beautiful! I hope you enjoy it.
Can't wait to see it (and you!) in person. The red against the wood is just awesome.
That is one of the most beautiful spinning wheels I've ever seen - enjoy!
Your wheel was so worth the wait. Happy Spinning!
Congrats on the new addition to the family :-)
If you can tear yourself away from it and want to knit on Saturday, let me know.
Breathtaking wheel! She is so KERRY. Congratulations.
Hello, gorgeous! What a lovely wheel!!!
beautiful all 'round - the wheel, the handspun and the NEW PRESIDENT!! :)
Wow!!! That is truly beautiful!!!
Ditto on the senate woes....
That is simply breathtakingly gorgeous. Enjoy! You deserve it.
This wheel really is such an amazing work of art. Has she stopped being a literal pain for you to spin with? Do you treadle with both feetses, like a sewing machine? Still muttering about the flowers...
Hooray for us and our lovely president elect!
I have just been drooling over your new wheel again. Since you have been spinning frog hair you must have her tamed, eh? What a beautiful creature she is.
How is Crockett coming along? Call when you have a minute! I hate to bother you.
i saw your pattern on knitty
i just found the writing endearing and wanted to tell you so. i, too, have recently discovered a fondness for orange. in particular, "natural sheepy colored yarn" gave me a grin.
thanks for that!
That is incredibly beautiful! Merry Christmas!

Olive oil is renowned for its antioxidant benefits in the diet, but it also benefits the skin when used in skin care products. Home treatments can be just as effective as commercial products and are easy to make.
Ingredients in olive oil provide benefits to the skin such as moisture retention, softening and anti-aging effects. Because of its purity, extra virgin olive oil offers all of these benefits without the chemicals and additives in many over-the-counter facial products.
As a moisturizer
Olive oil can be applied directly to very dry skin, or it can be added to other natural ingredients as a moisturizing treatment. Combine olive oil, vinegar and water in equal portions and blend well. Smooth over your face at night as a deep moisturizing cream.
As a skin softener
Olive oil can be applied to hands or feet directly then covered with gloves or socks overnight to soften dry, calloused areas. Combine equal amounts of oil and white sugar to make a scrub for tough, dry skin. Rub into affected area until sugar starts to dissolve, then rinse with warm water.
As an anti-aging treatment
Make an olive oil mask to soothe and tighten skin. Combine a mashed avocado with about two tablespoons of olive oil (or as much as needed) to form a smooth paste. Spread evenly over face and neck with your fingertips. Leave on 15-20 minutes, until well dried, then rinse with warm water.
Olive oil can be used on acne-prone skin, but it should be diluted with other ingredients to prevent aggravating oily areas. Always use extra virgin or organic olive oil to avoid additives and potential impurities.

It allows you to freely connect through chat, voice, and video, for free to more than half a billion people worldwide. Many users have issues when trying to install Skype on their devices. If you have a branded and commonly used device, downloading and installing the app is quite straightforward. But Android is an open operating system and many hardware manufacturers have built smartphones and tablet PCs that run it. For owners of these generic machines, installing Skype may not be that easy; their machines are more often not recognized. So here are three ways you can proceed to install Skype on your Android device. Method 1: Directly from Skype Skype facilitates the work of many people by sending them a link through SMS. The link is actually www.skype.com/m. The page leads to allows you to download and install instantaneously the app over your Wi-Fi or 3G connection. But prior to that, you need to give Skype your phone number. You can do so on that page. Enter your mobile phone number. You can do so from anywhere in the world. Don't forget to enter your country code before the phone number prefixed by a +. Once you submit, you get an SMS with the link. This service is free. Method 2: Google Play Google Play is the new name and new version of the Android Market. You can get the Skype app for Android from there. Here is the link for the Skype app on Google Play. It downloads and installs like a breeze, like any other Android app. But for this, you need to have registered with Google Play, yourself and your device. If your device is not registered, which will commonly be because Google Play does not recognize it as a listed brand and model, there is so far no way for you to have the app downloaded directly to your device. Another reason for which one might not get to Google Play is being found in one of those countries where Google Play is not supported. Then you are left with only the third method. Method 3: Download the .apk File Android apps come as files with extension .apk. In order to install Skype on your Android device, you need to look for the .apk file and install it, as you would do with any other Android app. Where to get the .apk file from? It is very easy. I made a search for it, and it returned a lot of interesting links. Download the file from any server, making sure it is the latest version. Files like this are quite small. Now transfer the file to your Android device, either through Bluetooth, a cable or a memory card. Once on your device, use a third-party file manager app to install it, since you won't be able to do that on the native Android file manager app. Among the popular apps on Google Play are Astro File Manager or Linda File Manager. In the file manager app, select the Skype apk file and select the install option. It will install like a breeze. Then configure and use it. Requirements Before trying to install Skype on your Android device, you need to know certain things. Firstly, Skype won't install if you are running a version of Android that's before 2.1. Also, your device needs to be running a processor of 600 MHz or faster. Be sure as well of your connectivity – Wi-Fi or 3G on your device, because if you can't connect to the Internet with it, Skype will be useless. If you have what Skype takes, you should be up and running in minutes. Enjoy. Continue Reading

Click this link for the latest FOX renewal / cancellation information: [rssinpage rssfeed='http://feeds.feedburner.com/TvbythenumbersCancel/renewFOXShows' rssitems='1′ rssformat='Y']
Our Renew / Cancel Index predicts potential renewal or cancellation for scripted broadcast primetime shows by the end of the 2011-12 season in May, 2012. (includes results from January 2-22, 2012):

To borrow a phrase currently in vogue by the TV media, Fox's Alcatraz didn't Lone Star its premiere. In fact it did far better. And the show's ratings only dropped 10% in its second episode (although the second episode ratings are not yet reflected in the table above). It's currently likely to be renewed. Note: I like to wait until at least two weeks of ratings are included in the Index before predicting certain renewal.
The Finder got a little ratings help following American Idol last week, but not enough to move it out of the more likely to be canceled than renewed range. It's not inconceivable that will happen in the future. Stay tuned.
With the gale force tailwind of the NFC Divisional playoff game, Napoleon Dynamite started with big ratings, but not bigger than the premiere of Bob's Burgers on a similar night last season. Of course it looks good for renewal now, but that's just the beginning of the story.
The Renew / Cancel Index above includes results beginning January 2, 2012. How did FOX's shows stack up based on their Fall results? Click here.
*shows no longer on the air have their Renew/Cancel Index "frozen" at the point they left the schedule, and are grouped at the top of the table.
** shows that have not yet aired new episodes in 2012 have their Fall 2011 predictions listed instead.
- 😳 – certain to be cancelled by May, 2012
- 😥 :cry:- more likely to be cancelled than renewed by May, 2012
- 😐 😐 😐 – toss up between renewal or cancellation by May, 2012
- 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 – more likely to be renewed than cancelled by May, 2012
- – certain to be renewed by May, 2012
The Renew/Cancel Index is the ratio of a scripted show's new episode adults 18-49 ratings relative to the new episode ratings of the other scripted shows on its own network. It's calculated by dividing a show's new episode Live+Same Day adults 18-49 average rating by the Live+Same Day new episode average of all the new scripted show episodes on the show's own network. The network's average ratings in the calculation are not time weighted (ex. hour long shows are not weighted twice what 30 minute shows are).
(F) -Fridays: Shows airing on Fridays were renewed with significantly lower than average Indexes.

The RMIT Juris Doctor is an innovative postgraduate law course focusing on the fundamentals of law and the justice system.
This course is based on a unique approach that we call 'bringing law to life.' It has been designed specifically to create job-ready graduates, with direction and input from a Program Advisory Board made up of senior executives from law firms, representatives from the Bar, Magistrates and other senior members of the profession.
You will build practical legal skills such as mooting and advocacy, research and policy development, interviewing and working with clients and negotiation, influencing and mediation. These are integrated into the study of substantive areas of law.
You will also choose from a range of law electives that cover human rights law, tax law, intellectual property law, international business law, competition and consumer law, insolvency, acquisitions and mergers, labour law, environment and planning law, health law, wills and family law.
The RMIT Juris Doctor has a three-year flexible structure. The course can be delivered in ways that suit your life. For example, a part time option is available, or you can study off-campus via Open University Australia's online portal.
Your classes on campus are held in the evening, generally at 5.30pm, and on selected weekends via intensive delivery. They will mostly be held at the Emily McPherson College Building, a magnificent heritage property on the corner of Russell and Victoria streets in the heart of Melbourne's CBD. Facilities include a student lounge, conference suite, teaching theatres and classrooms with the latest multimedia technology, and a rooftop patio with views of the city.
A summer semester is available and some students may be able to accelerate their progress. Classes are offered in weekly and intensive mode over summer.
In addition you will have access to online and digital resources through myRMIT. Through this online learning portal, you will be able to view online resources and learning activities created by lecturers, access course materials via Canvas, collaborate with lecturers and fellow students, and access your student email account.
Legal Skills
Throughout the course, you will build legal skills and gain expertise in the critical areas of practice. Under the supervision of members of the legal profession you will engage in a variety of simulations to develop practical legal capabilities.
You will also learn how to conduct research, to gain insights into policy development and law reform. All students undertake a compulsory subject in legal research, which prepares them for work in the profession and in related legal fields. This subject culminates in students presenting their research to a panel of legal professionals.
Opportunities to Moot at RMIT
As part of your JD experience all students are engaged in mooting. A moot court is an activity where students take part in simulated court proceedings, which usually involves drafting briefs and presenting an oral legal argument. The aim of the moot court is to consolidate the learning of substantive law and provide experience in legal advocacy, presentation and teamwork.
Moot court will also test your understanding of court etiquette, legal research and legal writing.
Moots are conducted in the nearby Old Magistrates' Court building. Some classes may be held at other locations at RMIT's Melbourne City campus.
Students can further hone their mooting skills through an an elective in advanced advocacy, or by joining national and international mooting competitions, such as the Vis moot in Hong Kong, the Jessup moot in Canberra and the Kirby moot in Melbourne.
Participation in these competitions can be credited toward the JD.
Industry connections
As an RMIT JD student, we prepare you for the changing world of work in Law. We offer real industry internships and opportunities for Clinical Legal Education. Practical, industry-relevant options include:
- shadowing judges, magistrates and practising lawyers in their daily work
- working with industry mentors to solve legal problems
- clinical legal education with community legal centres and the Neighbourhood Justice Centre

You only start repaying your accumulated HELP debt to the Australian Government once you earn above the minimum income threshold for repayment, which is set each year by the Australian Government (this also applies if you are still studying). The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) will calculate your compulsory repayment for the year and include this on your income tax notice.

The SSAF is calculated based on your enrolment load and the maximum fee for 2020 is $308.
You may be eligible to apply to defer payment of the SSAF through the SA-HELP loan scheme. If you use SA-HELP, the amount will be added to your accumulated HELP debt.
For more information about calculating your actual SSAF see Paying SSAF.
You may also be required to purchase other items related to your program, including field trips, textbooks and equipment. These additional fees and expenses vary from program to program.
The annual tuition fee for 2020 is AU$45,120.
The total indicative tuition fee for 2020 commencement is AU$138,240.

- Student services and amenities fee (SSAF) in each calendar year.

Thursday Travel : A'dam The Loft
We've been a few times to Amsterdam already on the blog, but hey I really love Amsterdam. We are going to take a peek at the winter edition of the popup store THE LOFT. We went already last year to their annual popup store here. This edition closed it's doors last weekend, but it doesn't mean we can still drool over this amazing setup showroom.
Seriously, don't you love it? I'm so going for that yellow sofa. Just love the whole space with the huge windows. I'm so ready to move in. How about you? Did you get a chance to go (if you live in Holland)? Do tell.

Just off the Ring Road in the north of Iceland, a small town once known for hunting seals has breathed new life into their community with a much more sustainable industry: seal watching. At the Seal Center in Hvammstangi, scientists and museum professionals are working together to study seal life in Iceland and help visitors engage more meaningfully and responsibly with some of Iceland's cutest locals. They are doing this by combining hard facts and the art of storytelling. I spoke to Sigurður Líndal Þórisson to learn more. You can read more about Iceland's seals on the Center's website.
Music in this episode is "Þar sem malbikið svífur mun ég dansa" by Jónas Sig.
