Selling Your Home: Tips for Sellers (NSW)
Are you thinking of selling your home? This post relates to individuals or partners selling their primary residence. It doesn't apply to companies or trusts selling property or to investment or commercial properties.
The person selling a property is called the "vendor".
Selling your home – Contract for sale
You must have a proper contract for sale ready before you put your property on the market.
Information that must be included
The contract for sale must include:
- Title documents that confirm that you own the property.
- A diagram of the property's drainage showing the location of sewer lines.
- A zoning certificate (also known as a section 149 certificate) showing council planning restrictions and other plans that may affect the property such as road widening.
- Copies of any documents creating easements, rights of way, restrictions or covenants.
From 29 April 2016, if the property has a pool or spa, the contract for sale must also include:
- A valid Certificate of Compliance for the swimming pool.
- A relevant occupation certificate which is less than three years old and authorises use of the swimming pool.
- A valid certificate of registration showing that the swimming pool has been registered.
Strata title property
If you are selling strata title property, such as an apartment or townhouse, you will also need to include in the contract for sale:
- A copy of the property certificate for the lot (your apartment/townhouse) and common property.
- A copy of the strata plan showing the lot.
- A copy of any by-law change that affects the use of common property.
By putting your property on the market for sale, you have made certain warranties (promises) about it, unless your contract for sale says otherwise. These include:
- That the property and/or land isn't subject to any 'adverse affectation', such as a government proposal that may affect the land.
- That the zoning certificate is accurate at the date of the contract.
- That the drainage diagram is accurate and complete.
A fixture is something that is difficult to remove from the property without doing damage. An example of a fixture is a stove that is difficult to remove. A microwave that is easily unplugged and moved isn't a fixture.
Some things are harder to categorise as fixtures, such as blinds, curtains and removable flooring. It is best for you (the vendor) and the purchaser to negotiate what is included in the sale as a fixture and specify this in the contract for sale.
What happens if the contract doesn't comply?
If the contract doesn't comply with the relevant requirements, the purchaser may be able to rescind (pull out of) the contract and if relevant, you will have to return their deposit.
Selling your home – Private treaty or auction
There are two main ways of selling your home: by private treaty or by auction.
Sale by Private Treaty
Sale by private treaty is where the vendor puts the property on the market for a set price and prospective buyers are able to make offers and negotiate the sale price with you.
If you sell by private sale
- Prospective buyers will have to negotiate with you without knowing what other interested parties think the property is worth.
- You will have greater control over the sale.
- You will have time to consider offers.
- The buyer has a five day cooling off period.
Sale by auction is where prospective buyers bid for the property. The vendor sets a reserve price that is usually not told to the prospective buyers.
The highest bid above the reserve price is the winning bid. The purchaser who makes the winning bid must complete the sale and there is no cooling off period.
If the highest bid is below the reserve price, the property will be 'passed in'. The vendor can either negotiate with interested bidders or put the property back on the market.
If the contracts for sale are exchanged after the property has been passed in but on the same day as the auction, there is still no cooling off period.
Contract Exchange
Contract exchange is where the vendor and purchaser sign their copy of the contract for sale and exchange them. This is when the purchaser pays the deposit.
Property Settlement
When you sign the contract for sale, the vendor and purchaser usually agree to a settlement date, commonly six weeks after the date of exchange. The purchaser pays the balance of what they owe at settlement.
If you are buying a house as well as selling, it is important to try to make sure that both of your settlement dates are the same. This way you can avoid costly bridging loans or having to find somewhere to live temporarily.
If the purchaser cannot settle by the date stipulated in the contract, the vendor is often entitled to charge interest and in some circumstances to cancel the sale.
Who needs to be present at settlement
If you have a solicitor representing you, then as the vendor you may not need to attend settlement in person. Instead, your solicitor can represent you.
If you have a mortgage over the property that you're selling, a representative of the lending institution will attend the settlement to receive the money owing on your home loan.

Blog post
The University and The City: Location and Structure
Jeff Selingo's latest article in the Chronicle of Higher Education (the link via Planetizen is here) provides an opportunity to reflect on the relationship between cities and universities. Selingo argues that location is becoming increasingly important as a factor that can determine a university's success or failure. He argues that institutions located in cities enjoy a strategic advantage by providing a higher density of off-campus opportunities for students to apply their learning in real world settings (e.g., through internships and community-engaged research projects). Selingo references a recent Moody's Investor Service report showing that "market leading institutions" are primarily located in urban areas. He advises institutions in urban areas to strengthen partnerships with local employers, and those in rural areas to develop student exchange programs with institutions located in the city.
I'm struck by Selingo's piece because I work at a university in a city that's very conscious of its status as a destination for Millennials and other so-called "cultural creatives." Denver is also aggressively moving to make itself into a city to be reckoned with on a global scale. The University of Denver shares that global ambition. However, we're a private, tuition-driven institution and very expensive to attend. Thus, despite its favorable location, my university's future is far from guaranteed. Urban institutions like mine may have to do some other things to ensure survival in these challenging times and, given mutual interdependency, to better serve the cities in which they're located. Specifically, urban universities may have to adopt some of the structural qualities of successful global cities. This means functioning less like a metropolis and more like a cosmopolis.
The distinction between the university as a metropolis and the university as a cosmopolis was made by Susan Frost and Rebecca Chopp in an article in Change magazine back in 2004 (Frost and Chopp used the term "global city" instead of cosmopolis, but I think the alternative term fits). In their view, the university as metropolis runs on fixed bureaucratic structures. It privileges research over teaching. It concentrates resources in formal academic departments. It encourages faculty specialization in narrowly focused academic areas and provokes turf wars over subject matter. It is highly differentiated and compartmentalized in "space, function, and identity." It is susceptible to administrative bloat. These compartmentalized and bureaucratic structures create "distance and distrust" between people in different academic units. This is the stuff of the institutional "silos" that many academics with cross-departmental and cross-disciplinary interests now widely lament. Perhaps most significantly, decision-making in the "metropolitan" university is driven by competitive business models and strategies rather than more collaborative and collegial forms of academic governance.
Most universities, including mine, are still structured as metropolises. Politicians, pundits, and parents love to criticize—with some justification—the metropolitan university, especially its emphasis on research over teaching and its partitioning of knowledge into specialized niches with questionable relevance to the real world. Frost and Chopp characterize the organizational structure of the metropolitan university as "stifling" to creativity and change. While many critiques of the traditional university are overwrought, it certainly can limit educational innovation and a faculty's ability to contribute to civic life through various forms of publicly engaged scholarship.
Alternatively, Frost and Chopp call for a university structured along the lines of Saskia Sassen's "global city." This cosmopolitan model stipulates "fluid, flexible, and open-ended" structures and relationships. It blurs traditional academic boundaries. It generously supports collaborative, interdisciplinary teaching and research—which I take to be today's most relevant and adaptable form of scholarly endeavor and one that's especially well suited to dealing with the challenges of urbanism. The university as cosmopolis liberates teaching and research and integrates the two in novel ways. It deals in Faculties—i.e., people—rather than in traditional Departments, Schools, Colleges, and Divisions (the latter is an especially unfortunate term) that organize teaching and research at my institution and many others. Academic leaders in cosmopolitan institutions connect people in "vibrant and flexible ways." They encourage flows of ideas within the institution and between it and the larger society, and actively create contexts and opportunities in which these flows can happen. They support and nurture the evolution of an individual's passions and interests over the course of their professional career. I take this to be the essence of Frost and Chopp's notion that institutional growth in the cosmopolitan university "emerges from the inside rather than from the top."
It has been ten years since Frost and Chopp floated their arguments for a cosmopolitan university and what they described as a "new way" of seeing the academy. Some institutions have embraced their arguments, while most others are still stranded in metropolis. The arguments are worth considering by any institution in any place that's challenged by higher education's current existential realities. Location is important, but so too is structure and culture. Frost and Chopp show how urban theory and history can offer some useful metaphors for analyzing and changing the structure and culture of educational institutions. Their approach has a special resonance for me personally. Rebecca Chopp recently accepted the position of Chancellor at the University of Denver. Here's hoping that she'll lead the structural and cultural transformation of my institution into one that will better serve our students, our city, and our own survival.

LOS ANGLES (CBS) — Is this what you call a cat fight? Or is it just a question of which animal rights agency is top dog? The Humane Society of California has filed a complaint against the ASPCA with the Attorney General.
They say the animal rights organization received $116-million in 2009, and only gave three-tenths of a percent to California. The group's commercial (including an 800-number seeking donations would imply they are a national organization but they are based in New York City and only cater to New York animals in need, according to the Humane Society.)
SPCA's are completely independent non-profits. So if a person living in Los Angeles, for example, is moved to make a donation (after seeing one of those tear-tugging commercials with Sarah McLachlan's haunting "Angel" playing) you would potentially be giving money to needy animals in New York.
California's State Humane Society wants to stop that practice calling the commercials misleading. They allege those commercials are unfair and deceptive and cause many people in the State of California to believe they have donated to local SPCA's or Humane Societies.
The ASPCA believes the complaint is without merit. They issued a release in response. "The ASPCA is a national organization dedicated to helping animals wherever there is a need. Animal welfare supporters are happy that we aid local communities, offer field investigation and recovery services and provide critical life-saving programs all around the country."
They also added, "In 2010, the ASPCA gave over 600 grants totaling nearly $7 million for animal welfare and anti-cruelty assistance in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, and the District of Columbia. In California, the ASPCA's average grant total per year for the past four years will be nearly $1 million by the end of 2011. And, the organization has pledged $250,000 in grants in 2011 to animal shelters and rescue groups in the Los Angeles-area with funding aimed at saving the lives of animals in the Los Angeles community. If a shelter or community is in need of animal welfare resources, disaster relief or anti-cruelty assistance, we stand ready to provide rescue support or aid."
This is why I just canceled my monthly donation. This is not a no-kill shelter, and they are corrupt. Animal lovers, do not give this organization your money.
The problem I have with the ASPCA is that when my dog needed surgery to repair a broken leg the ASPCA told me to forget it that I was on my own. Either they lied to me or are FRAUDS….
ASPCA-LA is just as corrupt as the national organization. They share space with the LB shelter and cherry-pick only the most adoptable animals to bring over to "their side." The others are all killed. Dogs, cats, puppies, kittens, bunnies. More animals are killed than are saved because they weren't picked. Shame on Madeline Bernsteiin.
The SPCA-LA (not the ASPCA-LA) does pick dogs from Animal Care Services in Long Beach. And they do pick dogs that they think will be adoptable. The SPCA-LA does not put a time limit on how long the animals stay until they are adopted. The facts of pet overpopulation are unfortunate because there is only so much room to house the animals and only so much budget to go around. By giving money to the ASPCA it diverts the funds from helping the animals locally.
But if you want to blame someone for dog overpopulation and euthanasia – don't blame SPCA-LA or Animal Care Services – blame the people who don't spay or neuter their animals and have "accidents" or who illegally breed and sell dogs for money (without a license).
but shouldn't the SPCA and Animal Control be pushing for mandatory spay/neuter? With such high euthanasia rates they should be all over implementing mandatory. I don't see it…
Everybody is pointing the finger at someone else. Doesn't do the trick. Mandatory spay/neuter will.
Long Beach already has a mandatory spay neuter law. Age 4 months – unless you are a legal breeder and get a license. Also State law says that all animals leaving the shelter have to be spayed or neutered upon leaving. SPCA-LA has opened an affordable spay/neuter clinic in Los Angeles. Just FYI.
FYI to self – Need to do more research on mandatory spay & neuter in L.B. It may have only been proposed. Yes, mandatory spay & neuter is a good idea – although I know not everyone agrees.
where is the adjunct suit against the Humane Society of the Unites States? i see 'humane society" on the sign in this video. They are just as egregious and culpable and run NO shelters.
Give locally.. not to scam organizations .
wwwhumanewatch.org for the real story
You will NOT get the real story at humanewatch.org. Humanewatch is run by the Center for Consumer Freedom (CCF). CCF is an industry lobbying group funded by big tobacco and food manufactures. It's purpose is to fight laws designed to protect consumers and animals. Regardless of how you feel about HSUS or ASPCA, humanewatch is NOT an organization you want to support or recommend.
Ad hominem attacks against CCF do not negate the truthful information they provide about HSUS and other Animal Scam groups.
GO CCF! Thank goodness we finally have a group to refute the nonsense spouted by HSUS and other wealthy animal supremicist groups.
HSUS is an anti-industry lobbying group funded by well meaning animal lovers who respond to its deceptive TV ads and misleading mailings. A charity's tax-exempt purpose isn't to make laws for their political opponents to "fight." If you fact-check HSUS's phony claims and analyze the creatrive accounting on its IRS 990s's, it is clear that HSUS does very little charitable work. A few of its "controlled affiliates" like the Fund for Animals provide some direct care (and aggressively fundraise for it) but it's a separate organization. Donations to HSUS are mainly spent on lobbbying, litigation, in-house fundraising, outside fundraising companies, PR and marketing, and harassing their critics (CCF is just one of many.)
Another HSUS critic, The No-Kill Advocacy Center is an organization animal lovers will want to support and recommend. Read Nathan Winograd's "Betrayal and Deceit at the Humane Society of the United States" for the real story from the real leader of the animal protection movement.
I think that this case should be thrown out of court. If people wanted to donate to their local shelters they could just go to the shelter or mail them a check. If people assumed that the money was going to their local shelter that is their own fault not the fault of the commercial. There is not place on that ad that states the money will be going to your local shelter.
As I said above eif people want to donate in their area, go to a local shelter, go to pet co adoptions, petsmart and any other stores in their area that may have pet adoptions.
CCF is an organization who lobbies against humane treatment laws of farm animals, global warming initiatives, Food sanitation laws and inspections of abbatoirs, and restaurants, anti pollution regulations, and support the repeal of laws to regulate the puppy mill industry. They are a front for gross polluters, large agribusinesses, food factories, and the restaurant industry. Their goal is to deregulate these areas of the economy, and repeal the health and safety statutes that protect the general public, in order to increase the profits of their corporate sponsors while decreasing their culpability and liability. They engage in deceptive advertising, whille pursuing a right wing agenda that serves only to enrich the coffers of their sponsors, while perpetuating the abuse of animals and putting the health of the American people at risk.
HSUS, like PETA, is trying to make America a meartless, pet-less society. The ASPCA does good work. HSUS is merely a money making machine for its bigwigs.
Just another example of why "animal rights" groups are among the most corrupt organizations in the world. These self-serving, anti-human, facists need to be exposed for who they are. They exploit your natural empathy for poor, defenseless animals to extract money from your wallet and then spend none of it to actually help those animals. It is shameful.
give money and if possible time to your local animal shelter, not all dogs & cats will be adopted and some will be killed, sad but true. too many pets and not enough homes to take them in
Glad to see that the CCF response centeris on the job. Thanks representatives "Toni" and "Time4Dogs" for speaking out for the real victims: corporations, restaurants, labs, and mills. Very clever of the CCF astro-turfing(look it up) team to pretend to be real commentators.
hi!,I really like your writing so so much! percentage we be in contact more approximately your post on AOL? I require a specialist on this house to solve my problem. May be that's you! Looking ahead to peer you.
Thanks , I have just been searching for information about this subject for a while and yours is the best I've came upon so far. But, what about the bottom line? Are you certain concerning the supply?|What i don't understood is in fact how you're now not really much more well-appreciated than you may be now. You are very intelligent.
I'll just bet someone or ones are getting so fat from donations that the stupid American Public gives not knowing they are being duped ! St. Jude's Hospital could really use that money ! People will give to Animals more than sick or starving children !
I, personally have reported on a few occasions about animal cruelty and as of now have had no response, to any of the charges although I still revive donation)) request. All morning we have tried to reach someone concerning these animals, and have been connected to the water dept. the sewer dept.with no luck reaching the ASPCA, no phone number no address. As of today we have close to ten dogs, that people have thrown away. This absolutely makes me disgusted. For such a large organizations and no way to contact you , maybe the news on televisions can get a response
If you want to be sure of your local shelter getting your donation, give directly to them. Don't give to these big, national organizations or you won't know what they do with your money. At least locally you can donate money, time, blankets, food, whatever they need. I'm tempted to start crocheting/knitting small blankets to donate to mine since we can't afford monetary donations. But I do have an abundance of yarn and time.
YEAH! "In California, the ASPCA's average grant total per year for the past four years will be nearly $1 million by the end of 2011. And, the organization has pledged $250,000 in grants in 2011 to animal shelters and rescue groups in the Los Angeles-area with funding aimed at saving the lives of animals in the Los Angeles community; WHICH MEANS THE ASPCA MADE OFF WITH $750,000 FOR SIMPLY PUSHING PAPERS!~ SOUNDS A LOT LIKE THE AKC DOING EVERYTHING IN THEIR POWER TO FURTHER UNJUST ENRICHMENT VIA POSTING CONFIDENTIAL REGISTRATION NUMBERS; AND THEN SECRETLY REGISTERING UNSIGNED LITTER APPLICATIONS, THAT ARE MAIL IN; RATHER THAN PROPERLY USING SAME VERIFICATION PROCESS VIA AKC'S ONLINE REGISTRATION VERIFICATION EMAIL SYSTEM! AKC'S NONE PROFIT, MY ASS! WITH $60M IN PROFITS EVERY YEAR; AND SPRUNG STEALING OVER $1M AS NON-PROFIT RACKETEER!
I just mistrust their ads. Anyone who needs to leverage human sentiment as an incentive to contribute should be regarded closely as already suspect. Such hypocrisy is always an embarrassment to us as humans.
I have been suspicious of the ASPCA for years, but not exactly for the reasons you state. Today, I went on-line to check it out. Turns out, as I thought, the ASPCA is not an animal activist. Their so called "Tear jerking" commercials are not tear jerking to me. They are repulsive. Instead, they they promote and encourage mistreatment of animals under the guise of pretending to support animal safety. I have contacted the ASPCA upon occasion to suggest the organization take a new direction and offer hope for animals. Yet, the ASPCA still continues to showcase cruelty as they market their ads not to those who can make a difference…..but to those who are the offenders. I despise the organization and wish it would be eliminated from the Earth. .
Deceptive or not, theyre emotionally abusive. The more advertisements try to manipulate people by pulling on their heart strings, the more people close their hearts off
This whole rescue system is a cruel farce. Both for the rescuer and the animal. I have seen the awful ads on TV and cried so when I lost my dear beloved dog I began to try and rescue. That was 10 MONTHS ago! They pick and choose who gets a dog and who doesn't. Charging $850.00 plus transportation is sinful. Another money making, insincere charity that our country is so full of now! Someone forgot the meaning of the word "RESCUE"!
i see these commericals and make me sick how can local or any other tv stations air this stuff i live in chicago and donate to paws chicago they not pressure for any amount just ask that some one rescue the animals so we tv keep airing them and will watch anoter tv station also is this commerical run for free or it a tax writeoff

Scientist Spotlight, 3rd Edition, June 2014
From Our Field…
Scientist Spotlight: Bartoz Koszowski, PhD
Interview conducted by: Christie D. Fowler, PhD
In this third installment of the Scientist Spotlight, we sought to provide insight from a successful, junior scientist in our field. As you will see below, Dr. Bartosz Koszowski's perspective is not only that of a junior scientist but also of one in industry. Dr. Koszowski earned his Pharm.D. (2007) and Ph.D. in Toxicology and Pharmacology (2011) from the Medical University of Silesia, Poland. In 2013, he joined Battelle's Health and Analytics. Dr. Koszowski has also over 5 years of experience as a Team Leader managing sizeable teams with a proven track record in people and business management in the pharmaceutical industry. Prior to joining Battelle, Dr. Koszowski worked on the development of new analytical methods of chromatographic determination of markers of Environmental Tobacco Smoke (ETS) exposure in main- and side-stream smoke and in indoor air. As a member of Battelle's Human Exposure Assessment Laboratory (HEAL), Dr. Koszowski currently provides scientific guidance and clinical oversight on tobacco projects related to product use, as well as topographical measures and biomarkers of tobacco. At Battelle, he has been involved in nearly all aspects of the scientific enterprise and continues to be productive in publishing his important research findings.
1. Why did you choose to become a scientist?
I was always interested in science and how things work. When I was a kid, my favorite thing to read was the Scientific American magazine. In high school I was really interested in chemistry. My school had a fantastic laboratory and I spent hours there preparing myself for chemistry competitions. At the end of high school I got an internship in a laboratory of organic chemistry focused on synthesis of drugs for industry. I started working with real scientists and realized I wanted to do similar things in my career.
2. What are your current research interests?
In 2013 I moved from Poland to the United States and joined Battelle's Human Exposure Assessment Laboratory (HEAL) in Baltimore, MD. There I have the opportunity to work with renowned specialists with expertise in various fields. My current research interests are focused on how people use tobacco products and how various factors (user's environment and dependence, familiarity with the product or effectiveness of the product to deliver nicotine and satisfy craving) influence use behaviors. I currently provide scientific guidance and clinical oversight on HEAL tobacco projects related to product use as well as topographical measures and biomarkers of tobacco. Currently I serve as the Senior Scientist on an FDA CTP-funded study on Dependence Behaviors and Nicotine Pharmacokinetics Associated with blu Electronic Cigarettes in Current Users. I also have grant application related to e-cigarette use under review by the NIH entitled Constructing and Evaluating the New E-Cigarette Microprocessor Vaping Recorder to develop and clinically evaluate a modified e-cigarette that can record vaping behavior in the laboratory and in the field. I am also interested in transitions between tobacco products and multiple product use.
3. How have your research interests evolved over the course of your career?
I have been working on scientific projects related to tobacco since 2003 and my research interests have evolved quite dynamically. As a chemist-at-heart at the beginning of my scientific career I was mostly interested in tobacco smoke composition and tobacco products emissions. One of my first projects was the development of new analytical methods of determination of markers of Environmental Tobacco Smoke (ETS) exposure in main- and side-stream smoke and in indoor air. Then I studied exposure to respirable suspended particles and carbon monoxide from second-hand tobacco smoke in naturalistic environments (e.g. pubs and smoking topography and yields of toxic agents in tobacco smoke generated in various smoking conditions). Working in an analytical chemistry laboratory gave me a strong understanding of tobacco smoke composition and the potential impact of that exposure on humans as well as health implications. Since 2007 I have been working with human participants trying to characterize use behaviors and understand biomarkers of exposure. Our tobacco research projects at Battelle are focused on contributing to regulatory efforts and informing public health about the real effects of tobacco use.
4. What do you view as the main challenges for your field? From your perspective, what do you view will be the next biggest breakthrough(s)?
I think the biggest challenge to clinical tobacco use behavior studies is to characterize different groups of tobacco product users. We have hundreds tobacco products available on the market in the US, and new ones appearing almost every day. Use patterns evolve very fast when new products are introduced. The best example is the electronic cigarette - use of which has increased dramatically over the past 5 years. During this time, e-cigarettes evolved from very simple and quite inefficient nicotine delivery tools to sophisticated devices, delivering similar doses of nicotine as traditional tobacco products as recent studies show. A user can control nicotine concentration in vapors by manipulating coil voltage, use different types of tanks and vaporizers, etc. Today, we do not have well validated tools to characterize nicotine dependence in people using two or more products. Taken together I believe the biggest breakthrough would be introducing methods that precisely capture patterns of tobacco products use outside laboratory. One of the most interesting approaches to collect data out of lab on use behavior and influence of environment is using mobile devices and microchip technologies. I think the most interesting things are ahead.
5. Why did you choose to pursue a career in industry as opposed to academia? Based on your experiences, what are the pros and cons of this career decision?
Working for Battelle gives me an opportunity to look at science from a different perspective. By supporting both grants and contracts we work hard to satisfy the needs of our clients and deliver high quality results on time and provide them with critical data. However, even though the environment is different, the main aim is still the same at the end of the day - to help inform the scientific community, to understand the impact of tobacco products on humans, and to contribute to regulatory efforts to ultimately decrease tobacco use prevalence. At Battelle I still have the opportunity to apply for NIH/FDA-CTP grants as well as take part in vivacious scientific discussions across research groups. I also have the opportunity to work closely with young and creative interns since Battelle host students from Pharmacy schools at the University of Maryland and the Notre Dame of Maryland University during their rotation. Taken together Battelle gives me the opportunity to develop my business interests while still being involved in great science.
6. Have you achieved a balance between work and personal priorities? How do you prioritize work and non-work activities?
I think I have. I have been working a lot recently, sometimes on multiple tasks at the same time with very short turnover. However, the best thing that may happen in your life is when your job is your passion and your coworkers are your friends. I definitely was lucky to get these two things where I am at this moment. I also cannot complain about a routine since I am involved in many projects and serving multiple roles. Nevertheless, I try to balance work and personal life. I am very active. My passion are sports and photography. I live close enough to the office to bike or walk every morning. I also run and do winter sports. During weekends I try escape from the city or do road trips around Maryland, Pennsylvania and Virginia.
7. What strategies have you found to be most beneficial for managing all of your commitments?
The first strategy I always use is prioritizing my everyday tasks. Some of them are both important and urgent and they always come first. I also found out that flexibility is an important factor when you have a lot of commitments at the same time. I like working under pressure. I feel I am more effective when a lot of things happen. My golden rule is to answer all e-mails and requests as soon as possible. It improves not only my workflow but also allows other people I collaborate with to move forward with their tasks.
8. What is the best advice that you ever received from one of your mentors?
I think the best advice I have ever got was to "keep things simple" - whenever possible, use clear language and keep things short. This rule is not only valuable in science (especially in writing grant/contract proposals and publications) but also in everyday life.
9. What advice would you have for postdoctoral trainees seeking to transition into industry?
I was involved in work for the pharmaceutical industry from my early years at the university, first as intern than a consultant in quality control and quality management and finally for three years as a manager of a sizable team. In the industry the priorities are different: business goals always come first. My advice would be to think of what really interests you and how your transition from academia to the industry will impact your ability to do researcher initiated science and publish the data.
10. What career choices do you feel have been the most beneficial to result in your success as a younger investigator?
The biggest career and life change I have ever made was the decision to move from Europe to the United States and start working at Battelle. It already pays off. In my new position I learn a lot every day and meet new and interesting people. I am also involved in extraordinary research projects that help to inform FDA's tobacco regulatory efforts as well as other governmental institutions to make recommendations that align with the mission to reduce tobacco use or eliminate exposure to secondhand emissions.
11. What do you foresee as your main career milestones that you hope to achieve over the next 5-10 years?
Interacting with both great scientists and business managers gives me huge potential to develop my skills. I hope the Battelle's Health and Analytics will continue growing and I will be involved in increasing volume of projects across the whole organization.

Just like its nationwide brethren, regional carrier Cricket Communications has added a number of messaging phones to its stable this year. They include the Cricket TXTM8, the Motorola Hint QA30, and last but not least, the Cricket MSGM8. While both the Hint and the TXTM8 are slider phones, the MSGM8 has a simple slate design with features to match. It's not a high-end phone by any means, but if all you want is a basic texting phone with a camera, the MSGM8 is not bad. The Cricket MSGM8 is available for $119.99 without a contract.
The MSGM8 reminds us a lot of other candy-bar messaging phones like the Pantech Slate and the Sanyo SCP-2700. Measuring 4.2 inches long by 2.3 inches wide by 0.5 inch thick, the MSGM8 has a very simple straightforward design with straight lines and rounded corners, plus it's only available in black. It is clad in a soft touch plastic material and is comfortable to hold in the hand. It's also quite lightweight at 3.7 ounces.
The 2.2-inch display is quite colorful with support for 262,000 colors and the text is large enough to be legible. However, it only has 220x176-pixel resolution, which results in rather blocky images and a lackluster look overall. You can change the menu style, the clock format, the brightness, the backlight time, and the image that appears whenever there's an incoming call. Like most Cricket phones, there is a series of widgets along the left side of the screen. You can add more by accessing Cricket's widget catalog.
Underneath the display is the navigation array, which consists of two soft keys, a square toggle with a middle select key, a Talk key, a Speakerphone key, a Back key, and the End/Power key. We found the two soft keys to be a little skinny for our tastes, and the rest of the keys felt quite flat and squishy. The QWERTY keyboard beneath feels cramped as well, but at least the keys are all raised above the surface for easy texting. The keyboard also has a dedicated text messaging key and a dedicated calendar key. The number keys are marked in red.
On the left spine are the charger jack, the 2.5mm headset jack, and a jog dial, while the camera key is on the right. On the back is the camera lens.
The Cricket MSGM8 has a 1,000-entry phone book with room in each entry for five numbers, an e-mail address, a birthday, and a memo. You can place them into caller groups; pair them with a photo, or one of six polyphonic ringtones. Other essentials include a vibrate mode, a speakerphone, text and multimedia messaging, a calculator, a schedule, an alarm clock, a memo pad, a world clock, a tip calculator, a stop watch, and a unit converter. Advanced features include voice command, e-mail, a voice recorder, a wireless Web browser, and Bluetooth.

Much to my surprise, bumper-to-bumper traffic turns out to be the life-altering use of the Tesla's autopilot capability. Darlene and I drove for nearly an hour in order to cover just 11 miles between Cambridge and Boston the other night. This gave us a chance to settle into the ease of driving offered by Enhanced Cruise Control and Autosteer. What a difference it made!
When the autopilot mysteriously stopped working for about 10 minutes, I noticed how my anxiety level increased noticeably. The burden of knowing exactly when to slow in order to stay a safe distance away from the car in front of us was back on my shoulders, and I didn't like it. When Autopilot came back on, the driving was better. No question about it.
Also in this episode, you will hear my wife Darlene's first impressions of Tess, not all of them favorable.
I finally have learned how to use autopark, for parallel and perpendicular parking.
If you have comments or questions, please email them to me at podchronicles AT gmail DOT com. Thanks for listening!

Delivering any type of vocational course has its challenges so the quality of delivery and assessment is of paramount importance. We always welcome feedback from all of our customers and none more so than when they feel we have exceeded their expectations, The Westlin Group got in touch after we completed a recent Appointed Persons NVQ
'Firstly, I hope you don't mind me getting in touch with you directly, however, following the completion of my recent NVQ with one of your colleagues Gareth Tucker I felt it was only fair to pass on some well-deserved praise to Gareth following the completion of the NVQ. Gareth has been excellent from our initial discussion in which this also continued throughout the duration of the NVQ.
At the time I started my NVQ we had picked up a few projects and I ended up being extremely busy throughout the UK and I have no doubt that if it wasn't for the ongoing contact and motivation from Gareth I would probably still be waiting to complete it or even worse I would probably have given up on the course.
Gareth made time to visit me on various occasions both North and South of the border and was on hand 24/7 for any queries which I may have had.
His depth of knowledge, experience and also his ability able to motivate and get the best out of people was evident and apparent throughout.
Following on from my experience from the course it certainly won't be the Westlin Groups last with the CITB and also C&G Assessments in which I will also be passing on these comments to the CITB on my next discussions.
As I deal with lots of training providers and assessors I thought that praise and credit should be given where due and it certainly is in Gareth's case, Tom Clark, Director Westlin Group
We have over 40 directly employed trainers and assessors nationwide, delivering a comprehensive range of NVQ, Apprenticeship and Construction Industry specific courses.

Good news! I've submitted my new book to my editors. This is mainly just good news for me, as it means that I get a week or so off while they read it. Then I'll go in for a meeting to discuss revisions. Until then, I have some time to catch up on everything that gets put aside while racing the clock to meet a deadline. Plus I'll get to enjoy a whole week of temperatures in the 60s. In the winter! This winter has been such a gift. It's a good thing I've been documenting it here. I never want to forget the way Mild February made me almost like winter. So yeah, it will be a good break to switch gears and focus on things other than writing for a little while. Like my new apartment.
In case you missed the billboard I rented about it, I bought an apartment here in downtown Manhattan. It was my dream for, like, ever. I found it at the end of January, signed contracts in February, and now the co-op board is reviewing my application package. They should be setting my interview date soon. After I have board approval, we can start renovations. Let's hope the board approves of true love. That's what me and my new BF (aka apartment) have.
Planning the renovations has been ridiculously fun. My architect and I took a field trip to the Architects & Designers Building, which has many showrooms featuring appliances, fixtures, tiles, and furniture. I have been psyched out of my mind to start selecting fixtures. There's something about getting to choose the exact kitchen faucets and towel racks and drawer pulls and doorknobs I want that makes me giddy. Fixtures are my drug of choice.
But first, I had to select my Sub-Zero:
That's my guy on the right. The whole freezer drawers thing looks so fancy. Actually, the whole freezer thing is fancy, given that I haven't had a freezer for the nine years I've been living in my current place. Ah, the sacrifices we make for location. The first thing I shall put in my new freezer will be a box of old-school popsicles. It will be epic.
After visiting Sub-Zero (and also Smeg…
…those refrigerators are adorbs, but I had to stay strong), it was time for fixtures. We had no idea what we were about to discover.
Discovering Fantini blew our minds. First off, I should explain that my architect and I have the same taste. We're both into minimalist streamlining with clean, smooth lines. So it's no surprise that we love the Italian designers. Look at all those fun colored knobs when you go in! I'm into the sleek, polished chrome look, but they were so freaking cute.
We did not want to leave. I wanted every single Fantini faucet I saw. Like these:
Let me tell you something. Fantini fixtures are the most gorgeous fixtures in the history of fixtures. No question. Each one is a work of art. And if I could afford them, the search would be over. Yeah, they're kind of pricey. But hey, a girl can dream, and you know I dream big! Like when I announced that this would be my new shower:
Water comes out of those holes on the left. Cool, right?
Now that Fantini has shown me exactly which fixtures I want, I can move on to things like furniture. I am happy to report that I've found my new couch. This will be my very first grownup couch! Where more than two people can sit! We're talking 11.5-foot sectional, coffee table, the works. I'd been dreaming of a big, puffy couch my whole New York life. So I decided to go all the way. When I arrived at the couch store and said, "I've come for the Big Kahuna," it sounded like a line from a movie. But it was real life. And now I have a really big couch! Puffy. My look is all white walls with pops of color. The couch is bright red in a soft microfiber. It's going to be beautiful. And have I mentioned puffy?
One last thing about Fantini. Leaving that showroom was not easy. But I have a Knowing that I'll be back. Dreaming big is the first step in turning your dreams into reality. Let's turn our wishes into fixtures together. Dream big, everyone!

What is The Legend of Legacy's legacy?
Praise the Nintendo 3DS- it has become the final bastion for the JRPG genre. Even as the genre continues to die, or put out mediocre entries at best, on other platforms, the 3DS sees sustained quality support from various publishers. If you are a JRPG fan and a 3DS owner, you have no shortage of great games to play – Crimson Shroud, Shin Megami Tensei, Etrian Odyssey, Fire Emblem, Monster Hunter, and Bravely Default are just some of the great titles you can check out – but it also means that any new release has to contend for your attention.
Thankfully, The Legend of Legacy, with its (albeit redundant) catchy title, and its striking visual look, instantly commands your attention. The game's gorgeous pop up artstyle, its old school JRPG gameplay, and its entire tone seem to channel the classic, legendary JRPGs of the SNES and PlayStation eras. In a lot of ways, The Legend of Legacy seems to be a lot like Bravely Default- a modernization and re-interpretation of classic JRPGs with current market expectations and standards in mind. It lives up to that billing quite a bit, too- while The Legend of Legacy is definitely not as essential a title as Bravely Default was, it makes for the perfect old school JRPG experience for the RPG fan on the Nintendo 3DS.
"While The Legend of Legacy is definitely not as essential a title as Bravely Default was, it makes for the perfect old school JRPG experience for the RPG fan on the Nintendo 3DS."
The Legend of Legacy is very light on the story- a brief bit of exposition at the beginning sets the stage for you to find your way to the island where the entire story takes place. The game actually presents you with various different 'origin' stories that you can pick from at the beginning, which are tied to your choice of starting character- and depending on which character you pick, your reasons for being at the island can range from trying to find God, trying to take out blaspheming impersonators, or simply trying to find treasure. The reasons really don't matter- particularly since they are paid lip service to once, and they then recede to the background. It's a bit of a lost opportunity- unlike, say, Dragon Age: Origins, which had a similar offering of different origin stories based on which character you picked to start with, The Legend of Legacy seems to play largely the same no matter who you pick. It feels like a bit of a missed chance.
The entire game's story is actually fairly minimal- once you get to the island, it just gets out of the way, leaving you to explore the map, trying to find loot and treasures, and defeating monsters while taking on quests. The idea seems to be to give you minimal motivation to get going, and then letting the gameplay sustain your interest in the game.
It helps, then, that the game plays well. The obvious 16-bit and 32-bit JRPG influences on The Legend of Legacy are apparent from the get go- you still heal at inns (which is also where you save), battles are still turn based, and defeating monsters and investigating points of interest on the self populating map still gives you loot.
The twist here is in how these specific aspects actually play- The Legend of Legacy's development was actually helmed by the legendary Kyoji Koizumi (of SaGa fame), so it makes sense that there would be a unique hook to it all. That hook is immediately apparent once the training wheels are off, and you start battling creatures in the forest that forms the first dungeon of the game- right off the bat, you are asked to pick a formation, and your formation determines the 'stance' of your party members- an attacking formation leads to higher damage on the enemy, for example, but it leaves them vulnerable to taking more damage themselves. A defensive formation minimizes damage taken, but also damage given. Support formations prioritize healing.
"It can be a lot to keep track of, and the temptation is just to button mash your way to victory."
Once you pick your formation, you actually perform your action for the turn, where you can attack with your primary weapon, a secondary weapon, use an equipped item, or use 'Elementals.' Elementals are the basis for this game's magic system- in context of the game's lore, whatever there is of it, they are entities, each affiliated with a different element (big surprise), that you forge a contract with, for different effects. You need to equip specific items and forge specific contracts to be able to utilize different element skills, and each element also has some passive effects. For instance, the Water Element heals you at the end of each turn. Elements and their effects get stronger the more of them are shown on the meter on the bottom screen (which has a chart with a cursor indicating the relative strength of each element on your party's side in battle).
It's a highly complex system, and it can be a while before you fully grasp it. Adding to the complexity is the actual leveling system, where your characters, in addition to having an overall character level, seem to have different stats that grow at the end of battles, based on what actions you performed in battle. It can be a lot to keep track of, and the temptation is just to button mash your way to victory. Stick with it, however, and try to understand the nuance and complexity of the systems, and you are left with a very rewarding JRPG.
The issue is that the game does make it hard for you to want to stick with it- the lack of a framing narrative context hurts the game, the lack of proper tutorials harms an understanding of the game's mechanics, and together, the two can be absolutely discouraging to inducing further investment in the title. It's a similar issue to what Atlus' Etrian Odyssey games have faced until the release of Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold, or Capcom's Monster Hunter games until Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate released earlier this year- no story and no tutorials coupled with unusual and nuanced mechanics do not encourage a player to keep playing.
"The Legend of Legacy does a great job of channeling old school JRPGs, while also adding its own nuanced twists to the old school turn based RPG formula."
That said, if you stick with the game, with the foreknowledge that it is rewarding, then yes, you get one of the more rewarding JRPGs on the system. The Legend of Legacy at least benefits from an old school charm that makes you want to give it a chance more than you would otherwise- the game looks gorgeous with a charming artstyle, resembling a popup book that immediately commands your attention. Its soundtrack sounds like something right out of an SNES JRPG, and the game's no nonsense approach towards its storytelling certainly evokes a much simpler era. The fact that the game makes concessions to modern standards – battles are not random, but rather monsters show up on the screen, allowing you the chance to escape – is great, although some baffling aspects remain- why, for example, can you only save at an inn? A very forgiving quicksave system is in place, yes, but a hard save available anywhere would be preferable. Also bizarre is the game throwing you back to the entrance of a dungeon if you try to escape the battle- it disincentivizes escaping pointless battles, and means you have to sit through them. There is an A key to speed up the animations, but it would be much better if I could just escape and not lose my place in the dungeon.
The Legend of Legacy does a great job of channeling old school JRPGs, while also adding its own nuanced twists to the old school turn based RPG formula. There is a lot here that could be better, but sticking with the game reveals a great, satisfying title that rewards your patience. It may not be for everyone, but for those who understand it, The Legend of Legacy is truly a legacy of the legends.
This game was reviewed on Nintendo 3DS.
Gorgeous visuals, great soundtrack, perfectly channels old school JRPGs, nuanced and complicated battle mechanics
A lack of tutorials makes it difficult to understand the nuances of the mechanics, a lack of story removes any contextual framing, some baffling anachronisms remain

Do You Need to Have an Exchange Server License With Microsoft Office 365?
Unless you're running a large company that wants to install, host and maintain Microsoft Exchange Server on its own equipment, you generally don't need to purchase an Exchange Server license. Microsoft Office 365 home plans include Outlook and the ability to manage your email from any provider. Office 365 business plans enable you to set up your own custom domain to receive email through the domain without purchasing an Exchange Server license.
In 2012, Microsoft launched its free Outlook.com Web-based email service to replace its former Hotmail email service. Any user can create a free Outlook.com email account, and existing Hotmail accounts were transitioned to Outlook.com during 2012 and 2013. Outlook.com has the ability to preview Microsoft Office documents directly within the tool, integrates with Microsoft SkyDrive for cloud-based storage, integrates with Skype for online calling and video conferencing, and also integrates with Facebook chat.
Office 365
Microsoft Office 365 is a subscription, cloud-based version of Microsoft Office for use by individuals and families at home and at school, and by small and medium-sized businesses. It's compatible with Windows 7, Windows 8 and Mac OS X 10.6 or later. Office 365 includes Access, Excel, OneNote, Outlook, PowerPoint, Publisher and Word. It also integrates with Microsoft SkyDrive for cloud-based storage and with Skype for online calling and video conferencing. The Home Premium subscription includes licenses to install and use Office 365 on up to five PCs or Macs as well as on up to five mobile devices.
Office 365 Outlook
You can use either the online version of Microsoft Outlook or the version of Outlook that comes with Office 365 to manage your email, calendar, contacts, tasks and notes. You do not need a separate license of Microsoft Exchange Server to send, receive or manage mail from your Microsoft Webmail account. You can also use Office 365 Outlook or Outlook.com to access and manage your email from other providers, such as Gmail or Yahoo Mail.
Exchange Server License
Microsoft offers small and midsize business subscriptions of Office 365 for up to 300 users. If you have your own domain on which you want to receive email, a small business subscription to Office 365 enables you to set up your domain to receive email through Office 365 without purchasing a Microsoft Exchange Server license. The only instance in which you need to buy a Microsoft Exchange Server license is when you want to host your own Microsoft Exchange server on your own equipment.

The Secret Agent Report – Ceiling Height
"The sun never knew how great it was until it hit the side of a building." – Louis Kahn
We have just released our latest Secret Agent report!
Low ceilings tend to create a more cosy and intimate feeling whereas tall ceilings promote grandeur and luxury. However, if not designed well, low ceilings can leave a room feeling cramped and tall ceilings can make a room feel cold. Both have their place and often we don't have a choice in terms of the height of the ceiling in our homes and offices.
In this report, Secret Agent discusses some of the indirect implications ceiling heights have on our daily lives.

Ann is coming in from Florida for Knitting in the Heartland next weekend and I thought what better than to make a little floor pouf for her to prop her feet up when she is sitting on the futon couch knitting!
I searched the Internet for ideas, Pinterest was a good one. Seems that knitted floor poufs are the rage and, therefore, expensive. I checked Ravelry for inspiration as well and found Spiral Floor Pouf that looked interesting. Here's what mine looks like.
Mine is a bit different than the pattern because I put a little tiny flower embellishment where a hole would be after drawing the knit piece together. Can you see it?
So here's the process. I used Bernat Softee Chunky acrylic since it was on sale and the right color. You know I like orange, right?
I regret choosing acrylic only because it's not stretchy enough to be kind to my hands. But it looked pretty good when knitting was complete.
At the end of the knitting, I drew the yarn through the stitches and tightened it up until all that was left was a small hole about 1″ in diameter. That would be the bottom of the pouf.
In the meantime, since I was concerned the polyester fiberfill would leak out between the stitches since the pouf was knitted with one strand of super bulky yarn on US 13 needles, I created a stuffing insert with two t-shirts in a red-orange color at the thrift store (for 90 cents!). After a good wash, I used one for the side "band" of the insert and cut circles from the other t-shirt for the top and bottom.
I used a round placemat to trace the circles and cut them both out at the same time with a rotary cutter.
I then sewed them into a cylinder-shaped insert with my brilliant new serger. (How did I live without this thing before?)
I stuffed approximately three 20 oz. bags of polyester fiberfill that I purchased at different times on sale and then sewed the opening shut by hand.
Looks kinda like Frankenstein.
I did all this cutting, sewing and stuffing whilst the knit portion was in the washer and dryer (acrylic does have its benefits). The dryer stopped just as I was wrapping up the insert. All I had to do was insert the insert and wove the yarn tail through the edge stitches on the knitting and drew it tight.
I was left with a small hole that didn't appeal to me, so I spaced my stitches apart farther and drew it tight again. Although the hole was smaller, I wasn't thrilled with the results, so I got my darning needle out and stitched a little flower on the top.
Finished! It's nice and squishy and stands 15.5″ tall and 19.5″ in diameter.
I'm quite pleased how it turned out, although after chatting with another friend on Ravelry, I'm thinking if I ever make another one, I'd make it in either garter stitch or stockinette with three yarns held together to make the knitting portion go by quicker.
Next time, I will reveal one of the top secret knitting projects I've been working on!

Is this 'Making Us Whole?'
Thu, 2011-02-03 12:43 | by Mobile Baykeeper
Yesterday, I read that the EPA is potentially lowering its estimate of how much oil from BP's Macondo well gushed into the Gulf of Mexico last summer. BP's responsibility could potentially be minimized if this happens. As Americans, we need to demand that our government continues to hold BP accountable and insist they pay for the damage that was done and will continue for years to come.
There are three pockets of money due to come back to the Gulf to aid in what we call Restoration, what BP calls "making us whole". They are as follows:
1) The $20 billion set aside for Ken Feinberg to dole out in his clear as mud, quixotic magic 8-ball method (depends on who you ask);
2) Natural Resource Damage Assessment which can't be complete without thousands of miles of shoreline assessed for every potential impact over a reasonable enough period of time to be sure there isn't a fishery collapse like there was a couple of years after Exxon Valdez in Alaska; and
3) the Clean Water Act fines.
The Clean Water Act fine money could be the best andcleanest way for the five coastal states to be able to do environmental restoration projects that will have a lasting impact on our resiliency and our economy, that will put folks to work almost immediately and doesn't require much more scrutiny than a commitment for the projects to be "shovel ready" and actual environmental/ecological restoration (not roads or condos).
Unfortunately, there are 3 problems with this money:
1) The money, by law is slated for the federal general fund, not the impacted areas;
2) There is a potential for the per barrel fee to be too soft on BP. By law, the fee can range from $1,100 to $4,300 based on the level of negligence found.
3) The number of barrels defined is "spilled".
Mobile Baykeeper has followed this disaster from the beginning when we were told that the BP well was gushing into the Gulf a mere 1,000 barrels per day. That number was quickly dismissed and upgraded to 5,000/day with the BP folks visibly shaken on camera by the honesty of our government officials. Before it was all over, the number was slated as high as 80,000 barrels per day. If you multiply it out by the 87 days it took to drill and cap it and use the lower range, we're looking at about $8 billion to divvy up among the states hardest hit by the BP and company's negligence.
The $20 billion already set aside is for individuals and businesses effected directly and financially. The Clean Water Act and NRDA monies are set aside for environmental restoration because that will actually be the key to long-term economic recovery for those individuals and businesses.
If, however, we let our government officials get side-swiped by BP and allow them to pretend like they didn't actually spill very much oil, we are giving away our only opportunity for real and immediate restoration. Yes, BP just had their first financial loss in their history – in 2009, their profit was 16.578 billion and in 2010, they are down 3.719 billion – thatnumber includes setting $20 billion aside and paying for the cleanup costs, and more. This is not the time to feel sorry for BP. This is the time to hold BP's feet to the fire and demand they make full restitution for all that they did to destroy an entire season of fishing and tourism on the Gulf, thousands of families and businesses, countless birds, fish and fauna along the coast. They should pay fully for what they did to our Gulf and we must insist they do.

As you can see on the left, the Bills lost today's game which means that even before the Patriots played tonight, they would have clinched the AC East Division. The Bills only have 5 more games left and even if they won all their games and the Patriots lost their last 6, we would still win the division since we beat the Bills in head-on play.

Some intriguing news today regarding MTV's TV adaptation of Scream — it's becoming an accidental anthology. The series had already been renewed for a third season, but with a reduced episode order (down to 6 rather than the previous 10 and 13). And now, it seems, it's going to get a creative reboot as well. What that means, to put a point on it, is that the show will return with an all-new cast and storylines.
For fans of the first two seasons, that's a bit of a blow. Admittedly, I haven't kept up with Scream, but from what I understand there are a lot cliffhangers and plot elements that weren't wrapped up in the Season 2 finale and the Halloween Special. So … oh well to that, apparently!
Deadline is reporting that Queen Latifah will be joining the series' third season as an executive producer, alongside current EP's Harvey and Bob Weinstein (through their Dimension TV umbrella), Tony DiSanto, Liz Gateley, Marianne Maddalena, Cathy Konrad and the late Wes Craven. The Vampire Diaries and Supernatural's Brett Matthews will serve as the new showrunner, marking the third change for the series.
The Season 2 ratings were half of what they were for Season 1, but changing up the entire series is a really bold move. It's also an interesting reverse move for a series to suddenly turn into an anthology (rather than being conceived of as a limited series, say, and then getting a second season, etc).
For fans of the show, what are you hoping to see in a revamped Season 3? At only six episodes, I'm wondering if that will help improve the show's storytelling, especially if the new cast isn't going to last more than a season (or perhaps the revamp will be more like the U.K.'s Skins, which changed casts every two years). Let us know your thoughts in the comments!

This time of year is always exciting in my house. I have 11 year old twins, who are ridiculously excited for Christmas. The energy and excitement of a child on Christmas morning, makes a lot of the challenges throughout the year worth it!
Traditions are such a huge part of the holiday season. My grandparents were from Czechoslovakia, and when I was a kid I thought our holiday traditions were over the top. Every year we would throw nuts in every corner of the room for "health, happiness, love and wealth", literally, we would throw food in corners, and we couldn't touch them for days otherwise our wishes wouldn't come true. We would put honey on our foreheads and say prayers for a healthy new year...do you know what that did to a teenaged forehead?! We would open one gift on Christmas Eve, only one; that was tortuous as a kid. There are so many more traditions that we did, and as a kid, I thought they were lame.
Well now I have kids, and I realize how important these traditions were. Every year my family decorates our tree while listening to The Beach Boys Christmas, then we have an appetizer party while we watch National Lampoons Christmas Vacation. Every Christmas Eve, we open one present, which is always Christmas pajamas that the kids wear that night. When they were little they thought it was awesome to get xmas pj's, now they're old enough to know I pick out their "one gift" and yes, it's so we can have festive Christmas morning pictures. :)
My kids are growing up fast, and I revel in the fact that they still want to spend this much time on our traditions. And who knows, they may think they're lame; but one day they'll appreciate it!
Have a very Merry Christmas and a safe and happy holiday season!

Adversity is inevitable in human life. Life is characterised by series of challenging seasons. There is none who has not experienced some kinds of trouble in their lives. Broken relationships, financial crisis, work- related challenges, loss of lives or limbs, health problems, natural disasters, and several other challenges have become parts of life experiences.
Now, what does the bible say about adversity? First of all, the bible makes it clear that earth is an adversarial environment. Everyone on the earth has an enemy. Satan is our chief adversary. He's continuously scanning the surface of the earth, moving to and from relentlessly, seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter 5:8). Satan's job descriptions were clearly spelt out in John 10:10 by Jesus. His aim was to kill, steal, and destroy. Satan's goal is to try and kill your faith in God through adversity, steal your joy and peace through worry and anxiety, and if possible, destroy your future.
"But thanks are to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ…" (2 Corinthians 2:14).
If your desire is to overcome your adversity, it is crucial that you know the lord Jesus and what He says in His word. He is the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6). He left His heavenly throne and came to earth to destroy the power of the devil (1 John 3:8). He led the captivity captive and gave gifts to his people (Ephesians 4:8). Jesus knew that you will face various challenges on the earth, and that is why he warned us beforehand about it (John 16:33). He said that He is our peace in the midst of trials and that we should rejoice in His strength because He has overcome the world.
Jesus sees and feels every single pain you feel. He sees each tear that rolls down your face. He is our compassionate High Priest. The bible says, "For we have not a high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities…" (Hebrews 4:15). He is extremely willing to help you through your darkest hours, if you would turn to Him. When you turn to Him is your trials He moves swiftly to deposit His peace in your heart and turn you trials to testimonies.
Although Jesus feels your pain and is moved by your adversity, He is not authorised to intervene until you reach for Him. When you reach for God, you prove faith, and your faith then releases divine intervention. Faith is the authorisation for the miraculous. Until God feels the pleasure of your faith, miracles remain unreleased (Hebrews 11:6).
Reaching is the seed for restoration. The woman with the issue of blood for twelve years reached for Jesus by touching the hem of His garment. She was instantly made whole (Matthew 9:20). The leper reached for Jesus and was made clean (Matthew 8:2-3). The blind man called out to Jesus and received back his sight (Luke 18:42-43).
In the same way, if you desire a supernatural turn-around in your situation, you will have to reach for Jesus and exercise your faith. He is the father to the fatherless and defender of widows (Psalm 68:5). He is your strength and hope in troubles (Isaiah 40:29-31). His is your rock, refuge, shield, stronghold and saviour in times of tribulation (2 Samuel 22:3). Jesus is extremely interested in your trouble. He wants to calm every storm in your life. But He is waiting for your invitation (Revelation 3:20). He is longing for you to call to Him (Matthew 11:28-29). His heart's desire is to turn your morning into dancing.
In Christ Jesus, adversity is never a wall, but a door into a season of increase and promotion (Romans 8:28). Anything good is hated by everything evil. The devil hates your progress. When he notices that you are moving forward, He schedules a battle to stop your progress. Every adversity is a clue that a promotion is around the corner. Therefore, you must continue to look beyond your troubles and begin to see blessings on the horizon. You have overcome the world through your faith in Christ Jesus (1 John 5:4-5). Begin to count it all joy when you face trials, because you know they are scheduling your next promotions.
There is a purpose in every adversity. Opportunities are hidden in every difficulty. Every trial is impregnated with wisdom. But until you focus on Jesus and receive the empowerment of the Holy Spirit, all you see in your adversity is hopelessness. But when you begin to focus on the word of God, the joy and the strength of the Holy Spirit rise on the side of you. The eyes of your understanding are enlightened to see the presence and the greatness of your father in the midst of your affliction (Isaiah 43:2).
The strength of God is hidden in His word. Identify scriptures that address your situation and begin to put those scriptures into your spirit. Begin to exercise your faith regarding God's promises. You will be stunned by how quickly God responds to your cry. The word of God is powerful!
One of the reasons why God allows us to pass through difficulties is so that we can collect victories necessary for the fulfilment of the Great Commission on the earth (Matthew 28:19). When others hear the testimonies of your victory, they are drawn to the mercy of God. Every giant you conquered imparts unto you a new tool for evangelism. Remember, you were created for good works, and every event of your life is being orchestrated towards the divine intention – which is to make you a blessing to another person (Ephesian 2:8-10).
Now let's briefly look at some of the rewards of adversity.
7 Rewards of Adversity
- Adversity draws you to God. Many people only see a need to reach for God in difficult times. For example, after the September 11 tragic incidents, church attendance across America soared. "Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I keep Your word. Psalm 119:67
- Adversity reveals what you truly believe. Where you turn to in times of trouble shows where your trust lies. Esther turned to God in fasting in times of tribulation (Esther 4:16). Also, Daniel chose to focus on God in the midst of trials (Daniel 3:17:18).
- Adversity teaches you to listen. One of the rewards of pain is that it births the willingness to listen. For example, a child who ignores his parents' warnings of not touching a hot oven will eventually listen once he's had his fingered scorched. Pain sharpens our ability to listen to God's warnings. Genesis 42:21
- Adversity reveals your true friends and exposes unreliable relationships in your life. Those who are not true friends will quickly lose the ability to maintain passion for your friendship. But true friends will always be there even in adversity. Proverbs 17:19
- Adversity brings good people into your life. Great minds are problem-solvers. Good people always look for a way to be a blessing. Therefore, good people, who have recognised your predicaments and willingness to change, are drawn towards you in your difficult times. 1 Samuel 19:1-3
- Adversity is an opportunity for you to show what God in you can do. You were created to glorify God. Therefore, even in your season of pain, God wants to show His mightiness to others through your victory. Acts 28:5-6
- Adversity is an opportunity for supernatural promotion and favour. When David defeated Goliath, he qualified for a promotion and favour. Adversity is an opportunity for rewards. God greatly rewards overcomers. Revelation 2:7
"I lift up my eyes to the hills, where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth." Psalm 121:1-2
Stay Blessed,

Be joyful by Lindiwe Mamabolo
"My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations" James 1:2
Christianity is not a bed of roses, Paul said those who want to live a godly live shall suffer persecution. Do not worry when you are going through difficult times because God said
In the book of Isaiah that when you walk through the fire you will not be burnt and when you walk through the sea you will not drawn for the Lord is with through it all. Why are being tested?
So that we can have the character of Christ in us, so that we can be like Jesus because He was also tested and so that we can be the gold that was tried and tested!
