South Africa: Tale Of A Golden Goose
Article by Ben-Schoeman Geldenhuys and Jané Van Reenen
The National Budget will be delivered byon 27 February 2013. Taxpayers and tax announced in the upcoming Budget Speech. One can expect the usual increases, attempts to give money back to taxpayers, only to then take away the 'relief' through increases in levies, tariffs and duties. If rumours in the press and media are taken to heart, the golden goose, South Africa's unappreciated and mostly unrepresented taxpayers and the small, medium and large corporate taxpayers will face an unabated onslaught. In many respects it appears that South African Taxpayers approach the continuous changing tax environment in line with Alfred Lord Tennysons' quote "ours not to reason why ours but to do and die"?
Legislation of this nature remains controversial at the best of times. SARS application of the TAA towards taxpayer affairs prior to 2012 is certainly opening a host of legal issues and it is merely a matter of time before the South African courts will be required to address various matters flowing from the TAA, its implementation and administration. In a constitutional democracy, it is perhaps time for taxpayers to embrace the fundamental rights and protection granted by our courts in the face of an ever increasing hostile tax authority. It would be rather unfortunate if the TAA and SARS administrative actions harm our tax system, which is currently comparable to the leading tax systems in the world.
A question may well be raised as to what is all the noise about? Perhaps the issues are best illustrated with reference to certain aspects of the TAA.
The TAA introduced a new interest and penalty regime, far more onerous for the taxpayer than the previous regime, albeit more predictable. What is even more alarming is that Section 270 of the TAA provides for  to matters arising before 1 October 2012, except in circumstances where such actions or proceedings have been completed prior to this date.
A fixed amount penalty to a maximum of R16 000, calculated with reference to the taxpayer's taxable income for the previous tax year, and imposed for any non-compliance with any obligation imposed under tax law, which penalty is levied monthly for as long as the non-compliance is not remedied; and
A percentage based penalty.
Prior to the TAA, in the event that a taxpayer claimed an impermissible deduction, the deduction was simply disallowed, and no penalty was payable, provided that there was no intentional tax evasion at play. In contrast, taxpayers may be punished for an honest mistake under the new regime. In the event that a deduction is disallowed by SARS, the taxpayer will be liable to pay an understatement penalty of up to 200 percent of the understated amount, depending on the conduct of the taxpayer.
In terms of the new interest provisions, interest will be imposed for the period from the so-called "effective date" of the tax to the date the tax is paid. The result, according to SARS, is that the in duplum rule will not apply. This means that the interest payable by the taxpayer may exceed the amount of outstanding tax due to SARS. This arrangement is unheard of in statutory South African law. Furthermore, interest will now be compounded monthly. The irony and unsettling reality faced by taxpayers is that SARS will not pay compounded interest to a taxpayer where it owes money.
The powers given to SARS in respect of penalties were not unexpected. In addition to many provisions relating to taxpayers, SARS has revised the requirements for the registration of tax practitioners. Essentially, it is now a legal requirement fbefore being allowed to register with SARS. It is certainly noteworthy that the requirements for tax professionals to register with controlling bodies do not apply to SARS. Again, one could sense the irony of having a system where the professionals acting for the taxpayer face severe regulation, however, the administrator is allowed to act as it pleases. If conspiracy theorists are to be taken to heart, it appears that the administrator is seeking to ensure complete control over the professionals dealing with tax matters.
On 18 January 2013 a US court permanently barred the IRS from enforcing a new regulatory regime for tax-return preparers. The court concluded that the new regulations would place an undue burden on tax-return preparers. Not only would the new regulations require a tax-return prebut it would also allow the IRS to levy penalties against tax-return preparers. It is clear from this judgment that US courts do not look favourably upon tax authorities' increased powers, as this could threaten the livelihood of tax practitioners, should they be forced to comply with the new regulatory scheme.
As tax professionals and taxpayers we have an obligatioThis is determined by virtue of the Income Tax Act and other Tax Acts. Administrative actions and penalties should not replace a robust and sound tax system.
As taxpayers we should question unchecked administrative authority and ensure that our Constitutional Democratic principles are always upheld by the State. And perhaps it is appropriate to end with Shakespeare:

“Another opportunity is given you as a favor—and as a burden.
The story was inspired by actual events, specifically the U.S. Supreme Court case Prigg v. Pennsylvania, 1842. I first learned about it when I was doing freelance copyediting for a book about Supreme Court justices. The case appealed the conviction of a bounty hunter from Maryland (Edward Prigg) charged with kidnapping Margaret Morgan, a free woman of color living in Pennsylvania who was alleged to be an escaped slave. The court case focused on state's rights, and the ruling represented the first time a major branch of the U.S. government made a proslavery stand. But I was most interested in Margaret and what became of her.
What really happed to Margaret Morgan? No one knows. What I do ker -- wives, mothers, daughters -- during that dark period in U.S. history. That fact is wh.

Maybe as you pick up this magazine and flip through these pages, you’re on your way to watch The World Games.
The games are being held July 7 through 17 here in our state — in Birmingham. And, if you happen to pick this magazine up after the games are over, then I hope you enjoy reading about the event that just took place in our state — bringing in “out-of-towners”, tourism dollars and national/global attention.
Opelika resident Raven Harvis will serve as an ambassador for the games, representing this area on a worldwide stage.
Harvis applied and was accepted and will serve as a hospitality liaison.
“The World Games 2022 will bring visitors from around the globe to Birmingham and we want to be certain that they are shown the best that our city and state has to offer,” said Harvis’ ambassador acceptance letter from Kathy Boswell, vice president of Community Engagement.
As the hospitality liaison, Harvis and the other ambassadors will welcome guests, host a reception, publicize the games and have been involved in planning the opening ceremony.
“I’m not sure if when people think about the World Games, if they think about the city of Opelika,” Harvis said. “But we are also, you know, Opelika was founded as a transportation hub. So many people came in, out and through Opelika when it first was founded.
The games encompass well-known sports, like softball or lacrosse, but also lesser-known events like dancesport, sumo, powerlifting, drone racing, canopy piloting, compound archery, wheelchair rugby, roller derby and more.
The games still have tickets available too (as of press time, at least) and Harvis encouraged local East Alabama people to make the drive to Birmingham.

- In a mixing bowl, cut butter into flour and granulated sugar until crumbly. Add chopped nuts and mix up until you get them all incorporated into the dough Press this dough into the bottom of a 12×9x2 baking dish (do not pack or press this mixture too tight into the bottom of the pan, or you will end up with a rock hard base which you won't be able to cut through, believe me I know from experience.) Bake this at 350º for about 20 minutes until it's just golden Remove and cool on rack. While the crust is cooling, mix together the creamed cheese, powdered sugar, and half of the cool whip (2 oz) until light and fluffy. Once crust has cooled, spread the cream cheese mixture over crust and refrigerate or freeze until cream cheese layer hardens up. Once cream cheese layer has set (about an hour or two in the fridge), mix together both packages of pudding and your milk until thickened. Spread pudding layer over cream cheese layer and put back in the freezer or refrigerator to harden up Remove from freezer/fridge and spread the last layer of cool whip (the remainder of the tub) to the top of the dessert. Make some nice poofy peaks with your spoon/rubber spatula Shave up some chocolate curls from a hershey bar (or whatever chocolate source you like, easter bunnies?) and sprinkle over the cool whip layer. I also like to add a few sprinkles of chopped walnuts to the top of mine as well, but you can omit the nuts if you don't like them.

Stipulating that her friend should not go down stairs, Helen had hastened forth, finding their own kitchen deserted, and, as the colonel's house was but a few rods away and Lucretia was there at the gate in vehement recitative with Mrs. Amory and certain of the younger belles of the garrison as listeners, Helen hastened thither, only to see tho party scatter at her approach. This in it-self was ouiiueus, but it was no time for hesitation. Some of the party were evidently in tears. The old chaplain was rapidly approaching from his quarters oil tho westward side; the doctor, fieldglass in hand, was studying the snowy expanse to the north from the edge of the bluff. With him stood the sergeant of the guard, and another noncommissioned officer was hastening toward him up the sentry post of Ka 6.

Wk something much more important will be built out underneath it all. If you’re interested to learn what hundreds of years of history teaches us is a phenomenal long term investment opportunity, after the bubble bursts, then read on.
The’ve been watching these patterns for decades Time and time again, emergent technology markets follow a clear evolution, described by researcher Carlota Perez as a progression through several phases. This pattern will hold true for blockchain technology. In its simplest form, it’s a boom, bust, and then buildDot Com Bubble of the early 2000’s, where fortunes were made and lost overnight. It took 15 years to recover.
Initially, the web brought immense disruption to many industries such as the publishing and advertising businesses that sold print and physical circulation and the music industry as it went digital.
Using the example of how music was disrupted, next came a disintermediation where record labels that once relied on their stranglehold of artists found themselves first by-passed by illegal sharing services like Napster, and ultimately disrupted yet again by legal services like Apple’s iTunes.
Today, billions of dollars in value have been captured by services like Spotify, which have reimagined and redeveloped the best of those worlds for consumers who want the best of both worlds — access, sharing, and discovery of any music they want, all without the hassle of owning it.
In the future, Blockchain may enable the next disruption in the value chain, where artists will get paid directly by their listeners without any intermediary, but that’s a story for another article.
From web standards and browsers such as Firefox to programming languages like JavaScript and RESTful architectures, massive value creation ensued in the buildout/redevelopmentphase, eventually far exceeding what was lost in the bust, making a pathway for giants such as Google, Amazon, Facebook, Salesforce and many other social, mobile, commerce and other platforms we take for granted today.
But there are some important differences we’re seeing in this particular cycle.
What this means and where it will end for the ICO investors remains to be seen. On the positive side, it’s providing immediate access to capital. On the other hand, many of these buyersequity and utility in the coins or tokens they are buying and the inevitable regulation ahead. Just a small fraction can explain the underlying value. “Buyer beware” should be “buyer begone” unless you understand these points. Or else it will end up as “buyer be bust”.
Unaware buyers piling in unwittingly is a sure sign of a buildup to a bust in ICOs.
The picture is more understandable when looking at Bitcoin, especially if you’re a citizen of an economy like Venezuela, where your printed currency value has dropped precipitously. Citizens of these economies have flocked to cryptocurrencies despite their volatility because it’s all relative and to them it looks like a miraculous hedge to have a programmatically smart decentralized currency versus an out of control central government with a license to print money at will.
There’s an irony here. When there’s a bust, we expect a backlash that leaves people uncertain of the future potential for Bitcoin, cryptocurrencies, and ICOs. Meanwhile, the underlying buildout of the blockchain infrastructure that’s being created to support all this will ultimately enable a more trusted world. How long it takes to create that trust depends on more than technology. It depends on us understanding these cycles and how to handle the inevitable human emotions of fear and greed that inflate and burst the bubble. Hopefully this article has prepared you to think for yourself beyond those emotions.

helmet, and with a customary grin threw his head back and raised the arms in the air. Shikhar knew it was not an occasion to give the moustache a twirl. Not if you’d led a charmed life. Thrice, the left-hander got a reprieve on Friday but made the most of them at the Harare Sports Club.
On the eve of the match, Zimbabwe skipper Brendan Taylor had suggested how it was important to bowl first on a cool winter day. His wish was granted, and it looked like his calculations had proved right till the hosts lost their way.
India were 65 for four in the 17th over, and could have been five down had Kyle Jarvis not bowled a no-ball which Shikhar (3) nicked to wicketkeeper Taylor.
“The wicket wasn’t easy to bat on. It was swinging and seaming,” said Shikhar. “They bowled well in the first 25 overs and I was fortunate,” added the 27-year-old.
Things got worse for Zimbabwe. The bowlers, who had exploited the conditions perfectly in the morning, conceded a whopping 28 extras, including 15 wides and eight no-balls.
While chasing, Zimbabwe made a promising start as they cruised to 109 for one in 20 overs before Jaydev Unadkat (4/41) applied the brake.
The left-arm seamer, playing his second ODI, gave India the breakthrough by sending back Sikandar Raza in his first spell. But it was in his second spell that Unadkat won the game for India. He dismissed the well set Vusi Sibanda (55) and then ran out Taylor with a smart piece of fielding. Once Hamilton Masakadza was gone, there was hardly any hope for Zimbabwe. Elton Chigumbura and Prosper Utseya did put on a seventh-wicket stand of 88 but that only brought cheers from the small crowd. </s> The third 1976 Granada for ITV pams’ 1955 Pulitzer-winning play of a Deep South family in crisis. Robert Moore directs this sumptuous production, starring Laurence Olivier, Robert Wagner and Natalie Wood.
T his was the second in a series of six great plays of the twentieth century which were transmitted on ITV from 1976 to 1978. The selection of plays was by Olivier, who also acted in five of them, co-producing several and directing one. Olivier is reported as saying that ‘I have stood out stiffly and coldly and pompously about television for too long. I belong to an age to which television belongs and one has to get on with it’ (‘Lord Olivier Takes on TV Roles’, The Times, 21 May 1976, p. 4).
This lavish production, designed by Peter Phillips, has visual resonances with big American series such as Dallas that would be transmitted in Britain in the following decade. The high ceilings, chandeliers and servants of Big Daddy’s mansion work to suggest inherited wealth, rather than the self-made fortune of a working man, and the necessary softening of the sparkier elements of the playtext also work towards this impression. As Philip C. Kolin, writing in the 2010 Methuen Drama edition of the play, considered, ‘Olivier looked more like a stately elder Mark Twain or slimmer Colonel Sanders projecting an aristocratic Big Daddy, not the self-made, coarse man Williams imagined’ (pp. lxii-lxiii).
How thrilling it was to see around 150 people at the screening of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof in NFT1 last night. Thanks to all who came and made the evening feel like such a success — a feeling founded upon how beautifully the production played out on the big screen, how responsive the audience was at the many moments of humour in the production and how many positive comments about the production I received afterwards.
This productionthe 1958 film starring Elizabeth Taylor (Maggie), Paul Newman (Brick) and Burl Ives (Big Daddy). I’ve not seen a stage production at all, so I am not sure how much of the text was lost in reducing the TV piece to about 90 minutes.
The TV adaptation strikes me as being somewhat more sedate than the film, even though there is shouting enough to bring a less solid house crashing down. It is perhaps something to do with the pacing, still slightly more geared for stage acting rather than the cinema, but lacking a live audience to generate the final spark. Perhaps another contributing factor is that both the lighting and the sound world were not (by modern standards) particularly subtle. All the indoor scenes were bathed in a uniform clear light with little reference to the presumed light sources of an interior. I doubt that anyone would have noticed this at the time, as it seems to have been common studio practice, but with modern (digital?) cameras we have become used to more light and shade.
Similarly, though the background effects were indeed well managed, the microphones picked up uniform levels for speech (just occasionally some shadows from booms were visible as cameras pulled back from close ups). This made for some explosive moments when two (or more) people were shouting over each other – it really was extremely hard to disentangle what they were saying. At first I was frustrated by this, but as it was repeated I began to

Are You Bold Enough to BWET? </s> Why Working Virtually With Your Loan Officer is a Smart Move
ondering how your new mortgage loan will be handled now that many of us have been officially considered “non-essential?” Well, for one, the mortgage industry is up and running regardless of any status. Yes, there are many who are currently in a work-from-home status and don’t have an official office to go to, at least for now. But that doesn’t stop the home loan process. And working virtually with your loan officer is one of the best options right now.
Almost everything the mortgage industry does is based upon the digital platform. So just because of this economic pull-back, that’s not going to affect getting your loan being processed and sent to the settlement table. That’s especially important not just for your transaction but also because, mostly as a result of these economic conditions, rates are very, very low. So, that said, here are some tips to help you working virtually with me, whether it’s for a refinance or closing on a purchase.
Benefits of Working Virtually
First, I’m pretty much always available. I’m not a 9-5, 5 days a week kind of guy. Yes, I do keep regular office hours, but I also work with clients in the evenings and weekends. I understand that 9-5 jobs also mean it can be difficult to schedule a meeting with a loan officer or any other meeting for that matter. That’s why my schedule is your schedule. Don’t think for a moment that just because it’s 7:00 in the evening that I’m not available to speak with you. I am.
Every step in this transaction is streamlined by working virtually. We speak over the phone, by video conference, emails, texts…all without a face-to-face meeting. We’ve operated in this manner for years and are good at it. Working virtually keeps your loan approval process on track and gets your home loan finished fast. </s> Houston Centre

Choosing the correct steel is the first step in making any blade. There are exceptions to everything I state here, as Metallurgy is a complex field, but I will try to present this information in an easy to understand way, so we can use this information to decide what steels to use for making our blades.
Also most steels manufacturing specifications will not have an exact amount of an added element but a range declared, because of many factors that can happen in the manufacturing process. All steels contain a low level of impurity elements that result from the steel making process. These impurity elements can be eliminated from laboratory prepared steels where cost is not a problem. However, steel is an industrial metal produced in mega-tonnage quantities, and economic production processes result in a low level of certain impurity elements present in steel.
Steels containing a higher amount of carbon in this range are vary good for smaller blades. While steels with a carbon content in the lower range are often used for larger blades, and even swords, This is not a hard and fast rule, as there are makers such as Howard Clark, that do use steels such as AISI number 1086. And there are people using Rail Road spikes, even tho these are 0.30 carbon at best and will never give a great edge, they are a fun novelty.
Today Manganese(Mn) is present in all steels to overcome problems with sulfur embrittlement causing hot shortness. This element also aids in the hardening process, and would be added in the amounts of 0.35% to 0.75% in most of the steels we will have access to. The lower levels of this addition are better for the formation of a Hamon, also incorrectly known as a temper line, because of this aid to hardening. Higher additions make a steel stronger. These steel are often referred to as 10XX series steels, the 10 meaning simple carbon steel with a small amount of MN added, the XX will be numbers stating the carbon content in parts per thousand. But in practice, the content can have a small variance. As an example the carbon content of 1086 should be 0.86 but it will actually be between 0.83 and 0.9 or so. Which explains why two different batches of the same grade of steel can work and harden differently. While it is common for some to use a Rail Road spike for knife making, the "HC" or “high carbon” type are equivalent to 1035 at best, and will not usually give a lasting edge when hardened. 1050 through 1095 are very common blade choices from this group.
Another common addition to a steel is a carbide former known as Chromium(Cr) this addition in small amounts makes our steel deep hardening. Normally about 0.8% is added. At higher levels other things can happen, and when there is more than 12% free chrome in the mix, its referred to as a stainless steel. 5160 is a very common choice from this group. Which is basically 1060 with the addition of 0.8% chrome, and D-2 has 12% total, but since this has a lot bound up in carbide, is not classified as a stainless, nor is this a beginners steel.
Molybdenum(Mo) aka Molly is another carbide forming addition used in small amounts around 0.10 to 0.4 A little goes a long way in steel, High additions are hard to work even when glowing a yellow heat.
Nickel(Ni) is not a carbide former, but is added to many times assist other elements such as Chrome in grain refinement. It is used in high amounts in some Stainless steels. In amounts of up to 2% is may be in simple steels such as L-6 or 15N20. A Nickel bearing steel is a common choice for the bright layers in a pattern welded blade as well.
Silicon(Si) is also used for additions to blade steels, many times added in amount from .3 to 2% to aid in toughness. In higher amounts it increases the conductivity and is used in the electrical field. 9260 is a good large blade steel at 2% silicon.
Tungsten(W) also called Wolfram and/or Vanadium(V) can also be added to retard grain growth of the steels, these assist in keeping smaller grains in a finished blade, and can also raise the tempering temperature. Usually added in the amount of 0.1 to 0.35, higher additions cause the steel to be very hard to move under the hammer, Most the properties of these two elements are very similar when used in knife steels so I address them together here. W-series and F-series steels make very good blades. The F series and WHC are sadly no longer being produced, but W-1 and W-2 are common, and give good Hamon as well.
This is only a start, and is not complete, but only an over view to assist in sorting out the mis-mash of some common steel alloy elements. I hope this simple explanation will help you understand what some of the steel have to offer for your blades.

She wakes up and shouts, "Hey Big Bird!How'd you get up there?" And my favorite, sometimes she does downward dog (or "Janie upside-down") and looks at us, inverted. How'd you get up there?I feel like that today. Ellen upside-down. We've been chugging along, with Christmas standing between us and big changes as a sort of jolly buffer. Everyday I think about how much I will miss this house, this land. Every time I drive into Olympia, I feel the mixed up feelings of a person in love--I love this place so much. Do we belong together?Will we ever make it work?

Saturday night would've been sad enough if James Shields were the only thing about it.
Shields melted for the third time in as many starts with the White Sox, and it's special in its brutality. Roll them with the disaster start that capped his Padres career, and that leaves him without a true historical precedent.
Here are Shields' game scores from his last four starts:e's only one other starter since 1913 -- as far back as Play Index tracks -- who has posted a game score of 20 or lower in four consecutive starts. You have to go back to 1930 (and 1930 conditions) to find Ray Benge, who went 4-18-18-18 in July.
Offense remains suppressed across the league, so we can eliminate the the first factor with Shields. Nobody is using health as an excuse, so we can cross off that one for now.
The last idea remains in play, especially since Shields came to the Sox with a velocity problem. It can't be ruled out, not with the Sox severely lacking credibility on the pro scouting side.
After Shields' previous start, I wrote that it "felt like a death knell for the organization's Way of Doing Things" before an improbable comeback got him off the hook.
One problem might have been location. The Giants righty remembered a start in which he had been breezing along: "I had been going through the lineup, living away," he said of throwing his stuff to the outside part of the plate. "I kept throwing that slider and sinker away. Got through the lineup twice, one or two hits in five innings, and then the sixth inning came. And they all just started going boom, to the opposite field -- because I never went in."
This made me laugh, because Steve_p asked why Samardzija stopped pitching inside .... in early May.
Samardzija is resolving some other variables from last season, too. He's still leaning heavily on the cutter, so that switch alone didn't lead to his ruin. But it doesn't exonerate Don Cooper, either, because the mechanical solution Samardzija said he identified during his last days in a Sox uniform seems to have carried over in San Francisco.
According to the PITCHf/x numbers on FanGraphs, Samardzija has added a half-inch to an inch of drop on both his four-seamer and two-seamer and more than an inch of drop on his splitter and cutter. That has helped him get more grounders, and it's further evidence of those improved mechanics.
The Samardzija trade never made much sense in terms of timing, as the Sox were at least a year away from seeing results from their farm system and Samardzija was determined to reach free agency. It made sense in terms of organizational strengths, because the Sox had a good track record with helping pitchers harness live stuff.
Samardzija's flop was a blemish, but one that could be written off as a bad fit, whether between Samardzija and Cooper and/or a free-agent-to-be and a team-that-isn't-yet. Mat Latos also failed to inspire confidence in the Sox' pitching ops, but if you treat it as a total flier and attach Miguel Gonzalez to him, the Sox ended up finding a back-end starter for under $4 million.
Unlike those who came before -- Alex Rios, Adam Dunn, Jeff Keppinger, LaRoche, et al -- Frazier didn't forget how to play baseball immediately upon joining the franchise. He actually bought himself quite a bit of goodwill after a month and a half.
The last 21 games have undone a lot of it, though. He's hitless in his last 22 at-bats. Going back further, he's 8-for-78 with 29 strikeouts over his last 21 games, and outages like these aren't unprecedented for him. He had a malaise over the second half with the Reds, which gives him an unimpressive line of .217/.282/.420 over his last 365 days.
There were warning signs before the slump, too. At the end of the season's first quarter, some here objected to me categorizing Abreu as "fine" and Frazier as "probably fine" even though the latter was outperforming the former. Frazier's hit tool was the reason. His average sat in the low .200s for much of that time because he was among the league leaders in pop-ups, and if he couldn't tame that when the strikeouts flared up, there were a whole lot of useless at-bats in store. This slump is a manifestation of those fears.
[Adam] Eaton has barely slowed his pace, saving the team seven more runs since April 28. However, Frazier and [Melky].
After John Dewan wrote that, I started taking more notice of plays like these:
The Sox could afford Frazier running hot and cold, because he seemed to be streakier than most. The Sox couldn't afford him taking his offensive woes into the field. That's why I ranked him the most essential White Sox of 2016. The blurb was brief:
I trailed off because it's a very large can of worms, and its one we're starting to see people pry open in our discussions. The consequences of big-name failures at a time like this are simply staggering, and if the play of the last several weeks holds, we will have a very, very long season to explore them.

I am not looking at either of those. I was looking at the graco my ride if anyone has any opinions on those...
How long are you planning to rear face?
I had looked at the Radian as well, and I was impressed with it, but our problem is the expense. We have to buy more than likely 4 convertible carseats unless we want to keep taking the seats in/out for daycare since my husband will be dropping them off and I will be picking them up. Second to the Radian, what would be your suggestion?
How do you use the 10% discount for multiples?That will help, but I still don't think I'll end up with a Radian at $300 a pop, I see the Britax Roundabout 55 and the Britax Marathon 65 are the same price...not sure why since one seems to hold more than the other?
Hi!Thought I would answer this question...can't answer the OP question sorry!We love the myrides...
did I miss something?Why won't you post here anymore?
Glad you got the myrides bought...I love those seats. What pattern did you get?I have an extra girl cover....
That is the cover we had for JoJo...
sure if you aren't going to use it!Did you get a BFing pillow?if so which one?

More proposals due on Border - but not for weeks
Fresh proposals on how to maintain an open Border on the island of Ireland after Brexit will not be tabled for the UK until some time next month.
As the clock ticks down towards the October deadline foritish Prime Minister Theresa May is still some distance from offering a working solutionyesterday.
Ministers here have had to repeatedly fend off questions about dismissive comments on the importance of the Irish Border from ministers, such as Boris Johnson and David Davis.
They have been briefed to say that Ireland listens to Mrs May when it wants to know the UK's position.
"The likelihood of her cabinet reaching a consensus is hard to see at this stage. She must stand up to them," an Irish official said last night.
"We're working across cabinet on all matters to make sure that we can actually resolve the Irish Border and no border down the Irish Sea through the overall UK relationship.
Downing Street has insisted that Mrs May's preferred solution to the Brexit Irish Bor cabinet yesterday aseurosceptic leader of the Commons, said.
Tánaiste Simon Coveney said yesterday that Ireland is "preparing for all outcomes" because "we'd be very foolish not to".
It is understood that planning for a 'no deal' situation is likely to be ramped up after this week's EU summit on Thursday and Friday.

One of the first things I always look at with a radio is the LCD, because, hey, that’s generally the first thing you look at to see what information is displayed. Most radios have a kickstand on the back which causes the radio to be at a weird angle for viewing usually but keeps it from tipping over as most portable rectangular radios are top heavy ESPECIALLY with an external antenna hooked up.

Genetic study identifies treatable pathway in c...
A genetic study based at UCL Institute of Neurology and the NIH in the United States has identified two riboflavin transporter genes that are defective in children with a type of motor neuron disease
called Brown-Vialetto van Laere syndrome.
onset of disease is generally in infancy or adolescence. Children develop deafness, speech and swallowing problems, face and limb weakness
and breathing problems. Many of them require a long term tracheostomy for ventilation and some never leave the intensive care unit and die very young. Prior to this finding, treatment was restricted to supportive care. Although the disorder is rare, it has been identified throughout the world in isolated individual children and also in small families where more than one person is affected.The two genes identified which both encode riboflavin transporters are called SLC52A3 and SLC52A2, Defects in the most recently found gene (SLC52A2) have now been identified in over 10 families and lead to a lack of riboflavin uptake in the cell and subsequent metabolic sequelae. Treating children with high-dose riboflavin leads to significant improvement in all aspects of their condition, although the use of this treatment is still in the early stages. This is the first treatable cause of a type of motor neuron disease, thus highlighting the importance of carrying out the genetic test in all
children with a similar clinical picture so that treatment can begin early. At UCL Institute of Neurology the research was led by Professor Henry Houlden (h.houlden@ucl.ac.uk) and colleagues at the MRC Centre for Neuromuscular Diseases and in the United States by Dr Andy Singleton at the NIH.

Managing financial disappointment
For most refugees, integration and financial security are interlinked, especially when they are resettled to a relatively wealthy country like the UK. Refugees will have also heard rumours from their networks about the UK and other countries that may lead them to believe that resettlement equates to not having to worry about money.
Many Groups are finding that the refugees they support are surprised and disappointed when they find that they will be living on a small amount of money each month through benefits payments. Addressing financial disappointment is a common challenge faced by Community Sponsorship Groups.
This resource is aimed at helping Groups prepare for the possibility of challenges due to financial disappointment. We provide you with different tools for financial empowerment and tips on managing expectations.
There is also a budget template, in English/Arabic and English/Kurdish Kurmanji for you to use with the family you support. Make sure you regularly review and offer budgeting support to a family over the time you support them.
It’s likely that the refugees you support have been in contact with a network of their friends, relatives or contacts living in the UK, some of whom are receiving more benefits or who are living in a larger accommodation. It’s only natural to compare circumstances but it’s also important to help the family understand that the income represented through benefits are highly individual and based on your own circumstances. For example, if someone in the family has a disability and another family member is designated as their carer, then that family may receive more money than a family of the same size where no one has a disability.
To newly arrived refugees, Group members might appear to be in a position of power and influence, so when they discover that they will receive only a limited amount of money each month, they may expect you to be able to ‘pull strings’ or work the system in their favour. The disappointment in finding out that their new life in the UK will not be as financially secure as they expected and that your Group is unable to change this may lead to refugees disengaging with your Group’s support plans and create a barrier to integrating into the community.
You will need to be realistic about what support you can provide in these circumstances, both to your Group members and the refugees themselves and repeating what you can and can’t control as the Community Sponsorship Group from the very beginning and regularly will help. Some issues, such as the housing benefit cap, will be outside of your control. Others, such as processing errors or delays in receiving benefits, may be areas that you can help refugees to address, but you will need to be clear with them about the limitations of the support you can offer. Although you can support them to raise the issue, advocate on their behalf, or refer them to specialist advice services, you should clearly communicate that you cannotor what the outcome will be.
Managing expectations will be key in helping the family to understand their new circumstances, especially when they first arrive. Groups have found it helpful to explain that the benefits the family receives are calculated in the same way as those of a British family of the same size. We’ve heard that many refugees refer to their benefits as their “salary from the government” and although they will receive money each month, which reflects the way a salary is paid, this can be an unhelpful way to think of benefits and where they come from. Instead, Groups have found it useful to explain early on that the money for the benefits system comes from everyone who is working in the UK through the taxes they pay and when the family members start working, they too will pay into this system.
Being the person who breaks the news to the newly arrived family that they will need to live on a tight budget is probably not the reason you got involved in Community Sponsorship. However, by encouraging refugees to have realistic expectations of their financial future in the UK, you willools for financial empowerment
Your role as a Community Sponsorship Group is to help empower refugees to take control of their lives, including managing their finances. The following are some tools different Groups have used to help refugees work toward their financial goals.
In partnership with the family you support, create a monthly budget while taking into consideration any long term saving goals that the family might have and talk openly about necessary and unnecessary expenses they have been incurring. Remember: it’s not up to your Group to tell refugees how to spend their money, but you can encourage them to make smart financial decisions. The Job Centre will also be able to provide budgeting advice and support. Furthermore, there are the translated budget planners available to download as part of this resource.
Explain the difference between cost in shops in the UK like Aldi and Waitrose so they can choose to shop at a more affordable grocery store.
Help the family check out some of the advice offered on GLA’s cost of living hub. While this page has been developed by GLA, it is not London specific and advice offered applies to anyone across the UK.
Help the family to find cashpoints that do not charge for taking out money.
Help the family to search for and supply for grants in your local area; some Groups have been able to help families access funding for bikes, activities and training courses.
Encourage adult family members to volunteer with a local charity. This will help them gain UK-based experience and will improve their English skills. It’s important to convey that stronger English and references will lead to higher paid work in the future.
Communicate the effect working will have on their benefits and help the refugees understand how this will affect their monthly income.
Set up grants or loans that the refugees can apply for, to pay for activities they would otherwise not be able to do, if your Group is happy to do so. This could be to fund things like a trip to see family and friends in another part of the country or paying for driving lessons.
Some Groups have found that money that has been provided to the family has been used to send money to those left behind or to repay debts in the family’s country of origin or the host country. Whilst it is not your place to tell the family how to use their money, we recommend that you are clear, should you provide additional funding, that you are told what it is for. If that money is not used for the intended purpose, do not make another payment to cover the original expense.
Even with careful budgeting, the benefits the family receives may not be enough to cover all their expenses and many Groups have found that at some point during their year of support, Group members have been asked for money, or a loan by the refugees they’re supporting. There is no right or wrong way of handling this situation, however, you don’t want to create a situation where refugees are not working towards their financial independence. Giving money to refugees whenever they ask is a quick fix to their financial troubles but can be disempowering, especially when your support is finite. Ultimately, refugees will need to live within their means and the most valuable support you can provide is to help them to carefully budget their expenses So that you don’tindependence, your Group will find it helpful to set clear boundaries around giving and loaning money and communicate these boundaries to the refugees as well as your Group members regularly. This is not to say that your Group will never give or loan money to the family, but that you have established clearly communicated guidelines about when and how this is done.
Your Group may set a boundary that individual Group members cannot give money to the family, but as a Group, you could decide to provide funding for certain purchases or activities on a case by case basis. For example, if the children in the family would like to attend any activities during the summer holiday, a cost their parents cannot afford, you could discuss giving or loaning this money as a Group, all while communicating to the family that this will not be a regular occurrence. If you make a loan to the family, for example, should their first benefits payment be delayed, you should make it clear that this must be repaid, how, and in what timeframe.
