Have you ever wondered what the difference is between a tortoise and a turtle? Both animals are reptiles; both lay eggs and both have hard, bony shells. Tortoises live on land, in deserts, grasslands and forests. Turtles have webbed feet and live in rivers, lakes or even the ocean. They only leave the water to lay their eggs. A terrapin is a turtle that spends time both in and out of the water. It always lives close to water, though, and can be found in swamps and wetlands.
Turtles in fact come in all shapes and sizes and exist on land and in the sea. Whatever you call them, turtles are interesting animals. Their bony shell is covered in scales. It is attached to their backbone and can't be removed. Some turtles can duck their head and limbs inside their shell for protection. Not all turtles can do this.
They have been around for millions of years and some turtles live longer than people (some up to 200 years of age). In Greece it is now a protected species and all exports are banned.
Interesting facts:
Turtles are omnivores. They eat fruit, plants, insects and other animals. Some turtles even eat poisonous jellyfish.
Sea turtles return to the same place every two or three years to lay their eggs. They migrate thousands of miles.
Turtles lay their soft eggs in the sand, dirt, or in grass. They dig holes and deposit the eggs. Some turtles lay only a few eggs. Some can lay over 1,000 at one time. Once the eggs are laid, the turtles move on, leaving the babies to fend for themselves.
Turtles can't move very fast. People catch them for pets and other animals hunt them.
Turtles are ectothermic. They can't control their own body temperature.

Having a good relationship with your tax accounting is essential. I hear from so many people, "Taxes stress me out" and "Ugh, I just hate this time of year." Or, the cringe-worthy, "Guess what I did?!" But by working together we can make the process of taxes much easier on you and us.
I realize that this process does not come without work. You have to gather all your documents, track your donations, add up your medical expenses, etc. But, by asking us questions before making tax-related decisions we can make future tax time less painful both emotionally and financially!!
Calling or emailing before you purchase an investment property can save heartache and money. Is the timing right during the year to maximize deductions? Can you rent the house for enough money to cover the expenses? If not, can you afford the negative cash flow monthly? What is a deduction and what has to be amortized?
Calling or emailing before you start a business and decide on an entity type is so important. So many people log onto LegalZoom and type away without knowing what they are signing up for. The entity type LLC is tossed around like it is a gift from above; however, that may not be the best choice for your company. Maybe for a year or two a sole proprietorship is better– or an S Corp. There are benefits and consequences for each type of entity; discussing it ahead of time can save both time and money down the road.
Sitting down with your accountant and letting them know what has been going on can help fill in the gaps in tax information. Did you have a baby? Did a parent pass away and leave you money or property? Is a child entering college? Did you sell your house or buy a second house?
There are so many pieces to the tax puzzle, and dropping off information and running away as fast as you can is usually not the best option. Stay and talk awhile. Have a cup of coffee and let us know what's going on. That benefits all of us in the long run.

I just bought a young pheasant and want to cook it a la normand. However, I don't have any Calvados at home and the brandy is quite expensive. I do have a bottle of eau de vie de poires du valais, which is a similar type of brandy. I also have some white rum, some scotch, some red vermouth, some dry gin, some homemade mead and some other alcohols. Which do you think would make the best substitute? Thanks.

MARION | When Javaris Jackson played football at Francis Marion High School, the Rams made the state playoffs three straight years.
Jackson, who coached wide receivers at Selma last year, returned to his alma mater with the goal of establishing a winning attitude.
�My prospects are to bring the program back to playoff contention,� said Jackson, who started at center during his senior season. �I want to bring back a winning record and try to be a positive role model for the kids.�
Jackson said he expects to go into the season with 32 players.
�They�ve responded very well from me being here,� he said. �They know that somebody from this school was on a winning team. They know what I�m talking about and what I expect out of them.�
Jackson said he wants to establish a multiple-formation offense to keep defenses off balance. Senior Preston Melton is projected as the starting quarterback. Jerome Smith, a senior who played basketball at Marion Military Institute, will be the reserve quarterback, although he�ll probably start at wide receiver and free safety.
Jackson said he hopes tailback Kendrick Woods will develop into a 1,000-yard rusher.
�He�s not afraid to go into a hole and take a real hit,� Jackson said. �He�s very powerful with good moves and pretty good hands.�
Courtney Witt will get a look at tailback. Enyi Ukarro, a former center, will provide blocking and get some carries at fullback.
Henry Tabb, JaMarcus Billingsley and Smith form the receiving corps.
�I�m a mix-it-up type guy,� Jackson said. �I�m not afraid to take chances. We might throw it long on second-and-two.�
Jackson doesn�t have any seniors as probable starters on the offensive line. Juniors Deandre Barnett and Christopher Tubbs will play at guard. Junior Demetric Goree and freshman Patrick Essex are tackles. Matthew Billingsley is a freshman center who saw action last year as an eighth-grader.
�I told Patrick to take it,� Jackson said. �He matured quicker than I thought he would. Christopher is a very coachable player. Their main goal is to execute the blocking assignments.�
Jackson said he expects Woods to be a defensive leader at middle linebacker. Donte Jones is a projected starter at outside linebacker. Cedric Thomas and Shaquille Martin will play at cornerback.
�It feels real good to be back at home,� Jackson said. �It feels good to want to give back to my home school and, hopefully, to bring back a winning attitude.�

It's International Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day today, October 15th. This is a special day set aside by Sands Australia to honour all the babies we have lost, through miscarriage, stillbirth or newborn death.
Losing a baby is a deeply traumatic experience. We hope it never happens to us. But if it does, nothing can ever prepare us for the grief, the heart wrenching loss, the black pit of despair and the pain.
When we miscarry, even though our baby was not yet a physical being in our arms, we still held them inside of us, in our wombs, their first home, still became Mothers to them, still held our bellies and opened our hearts and connected with love to the souls who chose us to be their Mammas. When we experience a miscarriage, it can be so devastating that this time around, the journey of the pregnancy and of the baby spirit, is over. Not only is there the physical pain of miscarriage, the emotional pain of our hopes and dreams for our pregnancy and baby ending can be overwhelming. If a D&C is required, we as women go through more trauma, our bodies put through a surgical process at such a vulnerable time.
And then comes the days, weeks, months post miscarriage. Hopefully we have excellent support networks we can reply on as we heal, and do the work to recover, body, mind and soul. This part of the process is different for everyone – whatever it looks and feels like for you, witness and honour all of your emotions…it is so important for the healing. There is no time limit on how long it takes to move through the grief post-miscarriage. It's a time to be extra kind to yourself, your partner, prioritise self-care, reach out for help anyway you need to and tune into the emotions – processing it all is an important part of the healing process.
When we give birth to a stillborn or lose a newborn, the levels of anguish, grief, pain, trauma and loss are untold. No one can ever really understand this loss unless they have been through it, and even then, every single person's experience is different. It is a time that people around us may not know what to say or how to be there for us as we are flooded with the grieving process. If you are someone who is supporting a woman or couple who have lost a baby – just be present. It's ok to not know what to say – just be there, with them, witness them, honour them, see them. Check in on them. Cook them food and leave it in their freezer or in a fridge bag at their doorstep. Offer to clean their house, look after their other children if they have any. Check in on them. All too often, support people feel awkward and don't know what to do or say so don't do anything. Do SOMETHING. Let them know you care, show up for them, day after day, week after week, year after year, even. The pain never truly leaves their hearts – they need you to hold the space for them.
As women, when our bodies, minds, hearts, souls, wombs, call in baby spirits to come roost in our bodies, and then there is loss, we can hold this trauma in our wombs. As women our wombs/ hips are emotional storehouses. Even if we seek counseling, talk through our emotions, sometimes this still doesn't release the trauma our cells and bodies hold.
Trauma has a stagnant energy – it gets stuck in the body. Emotions need to move to be processed – we need to ALLOW the trauma to be released from our wombs, allow movement and flow, for the pain, grief, loss to move through us, and move along.
Women's Health Massage is a beautiful therapy for exactly this. In my practice I have had the honour of working with women who have experienced this loss. Energetically, with my hands on their wombs, if there is lots of trauma held here, the temperature of the womb is often cool – it can mean there is a block to blood and qi moving through the area freely. There can be lumps and bumps, physical manifestations of stuck trauma. The massage therapy is designed to tune into the womb and energetically witness what is presence. Through physical therapy of massage, the womb receives warmth and fresh blood and qi supply and things are able to move once more. Energetically, holding space for the healing, the beautiful womb is infused with golden light and love and the highest of intentions. During this part of the treatment, the woman can become emotional, as when our bodies finally release stuck trauma, the emotional release can be big too, necessary and cleansing. It is a deeply nurturing and healing modality, perfect for the painful and sensitive time of loss.
If you have experienced pregnancy or infant loss – please know you are NOT alone. Reach out to support networks. Family, friends, health care practitioners, organisations like Sands that exist for this very purpose. Allow yourself to be held, fed, nurtured, cleansed, healed, whatever it takes to allow you to move through the pain.
Tonight at 7pm please light a candle for all the souls of all the babies that we have lost. Send love to all of those who have gone through this pain. They will feel it and they really need it.
Please head to http://www.sands.org.au/find-supportfor more info on this wonderful organisation and all the support they provide from national support telephone lines, local support groups, bereavement support hampers and plenty more.
Sending love to all the wombs of the world.
Big womb blessings,

Written by our lovely Kimberley Peters! Kimberley has immersed herself in health, nutrition, fitness and wellness for more than 15 years. Experiencing personal challenges with body image issues from an early age, Kimberley dove into learning about how to live a healthy lifestyle, breakthrough unhealthy patterns of yo-yo dieting, improve her body confidence and live a vitalistic, thriving life.
This path led her to study a Diploma in Fitness which opened the door to a thriving career as a Health Coach/ Personal Trainer where she established her own company and created fitness and wellness programs, working with hundreds of people helping them become their healthiest. Kimberley has also worked with large corporate companies creating workplace health programs, has published articles in some of Australia's leading fitness/ wellness magazines and created and hosted wellbeing retreats in Seminyak, Bali.
Feeling the call to serve people from a much more powerful platform, Kimberley recently returned to study and is currently in her second year of a Bachelor of Health Science – Traditional Chinese Medicine degree, specialising in acupuncture and herbal medicine. Experiencing the power of TCM from regular treatment since her early 20's, Kimberley is so excited to learn this beautiful, ancient Eastern medicine and knows it will allow her to help people and impact their lives in a dynamic way. Kimberley is passionate about supporting people on their health journeys using natural medicine and teaching them that their bodies have an innate intelligence that can heal itself.
Kimberley is now diving in even deeper to walk with women and support them along their fertility and health journeys, offering the beautiful modality, fertility and women's health massage. This is an ancient style of massage blending a nurturing combination of physical, emotional and spiritual techniques to ready your body for conception. A deeply healing and non-invasive therapy, it can help with circulation, hormone balance, womb alignment and scar tissue release. The treatment gently addresses any anxiety arising as a result of your fertility journey, or any trauma, grief or loss you have experienced in the past. This style of massage is also suitable to treat PCOS, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, tilted uterus, painful or heavy bleeds, clotting, irregular cycles, constipation, IBS, Crohn's or Celiac, as well as generally improving the function of the uterus, ovaries and fallopian tubes. It also offers a release of trauma such as abuse, rape, broken pelvis/sacrum/coccyx, abdominal surgery of any kind, difficult birth, miscarriage or termination.

They came to East Meadows Elementary to present an assembly for us in conjunction with the Science Fair. Using liquid nitrogen at -321 Fahrenheit they can make a custom made ice cream just for you in seconds. They discussed the elemental properties of nitrogen, gas laws and the Leidenfrost Effect and the application of science to food. The students had a great time learning and watching as they were sprayed with non-toxic nitrogen smoke. They watched a blown-up balloon deflate in the nitrogen substance only to inflate again as it warmed up. Some of the classes benefited by tasting the scientific goodness of the ice cream. We want to thank Sub-Zero for a wonderful assembly.

You're now a freelancer or working on a part-time side hustle. That's awesome. But there's one ugly thing to take care of: taxes.
Ordinary employees in the United States get a form called a W-4. Basically, a W-4 tells companies how much money to put away for taxes every time you get paid.
But you're not an ordinary employee.
Because freelancers and side hustlers aren't full-time employees, they have to send the IRS estimated quarterly taxes each quarter. Freelancers and side hustlers are legally considered independent contractors.
Independent contractors have to send the IRS tax payments each quarter based on their income. These (which can be good or bad) or estimated payments, which means that you can either get a refund or have to pay more at the end of year.
Estimated tax payments are made each quarter on income that isn't subject to withholding tax. Basically, this means income from being self-employed, a freelancer, or an independent contractor, or income like interest, dividends, and business earnings.
There are numerous estimated tax payment calculators available online, but you face penalties if the amounts are off by too much. That's why we recommend you have an accountant if you're freelancing or side hustling.
The IRS requires you, in estimated payments, to pay either 90% of your tax for the current year–even if you don't know how much you are making yet–or the tax on last year's return to avoid an estimated tax penalty.
Estimated tax penalties can be very expensive, and can mean paying the IRS thousands of dollars each you that you don't have to.
This is problematic for many freelancers in situations where they make a lot of money in one year and then have a slow period the next year. The IRS' rules mean that, for most people, they have to pay based on their previous year's income. This stinks, in our opinion, but it is what it is and something freelancers need to budget for.
There's an art and a science to estimated tax payments and making sure your freelance business isn't hit by an unwelcome surprise on April 15. For more information, check out these two links:

Rosenbaum & Rosenbaum, P.C. | October 5, 2017 | Workplace Injuries
Have you noticed an ache or pain in your shoulder, elbow, wrist or other area that is unusual? If the area is marked by some swelling and even redness you may be experiencing symptoms associated with a repetitive motion injury. Many people in New York face these conditions often because of the activities they perform over and over again at their jobs. Repetitive motion injuries should be taken seriously in order to avoid further injury.
According to WebMD, bursitis can occur when the little sacs that provide cushioning between your bones and your tendons become inflamed. Tendonitis is the inflammation of the actual tendons. Some people even experience inflammation in the sheath through which the tendons pass when connecting bones to muscles. This is called tenosynovitis and is often related to carpal tunnel syndrome.
If you are struggling with these conditions, you may find that your regular life activities as well as tasks at work may be hampered. You might even have a hard time sleeping as the pain can wake you up or prevent you from falling asleep. Physical therapy may be helpful but sometimes you need to stop performing the action that led to the inflammation in the first place for a while before working on regaining the motion.
This information is not intended to provide legal advice but is instead meant to give people in New York and overview of some of the types of repetitive motion injuries that they may experience and what might be involved in the treatment of these conditions.

Nature is every substance and energy in the universe except what humans have manufactured. It includes flowers, water, animals, rocks, thunder, and so on. Biologists study the parts of nature that have to do with life, past and present. Through their work, we glimpse a great pattern of organization. The pattern starts with atoms, which are basic building blocks of all matter (1 – in the image above) . At the next level of organization, atoms join as molecules (2 – in the image above) . Only living cells make the molecules of life—complex carbohydrates and lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids—in nature. The pattern crosses the threshold to life when many molecules organize as a cell (3 – in the image above) . A cell is the smallest unit of life that can survive and reproduce on its own, given information in its DNA, energy, and raw materials. An organism is an individual that consists of one or more cells. In larger multicelled organisms, trillions of cells may be organized as tissues, organs, and organ systems that interact to keep the individual's body working properly (4 – in the image above) .
At the next level of organization, a population is a group of individuals of the same type, or species, living in a given area (5 – in the image above) . An example would be all of the lake trout living in Lake Tahoe, California. At the next level, a community consists of all populations of all species in a given area (6 – in the image above) . An underwater ocean community, for example, may include many kinds of organisms that make their home in or on a particular reef. The next level of organization is the ecosystem: a community interacting with its environment (7 – in the image above) . The most inclusive level, the biosphere, encompasses all regions of Earth's crust, waters, and atmosphere in which organisms live ( 8 – in the image above) .
Remember that life is more than the sum of its individual parts. In other words, some emergent property occurs at each successive level of life's organization. An emergent property is a characteristic of a system that does not appear in any of a system's component parts. For example, the molecules of life are themselves not alive. Considering them separately, no one would be able to predict that a particular arrangement of molecules would form a living cell. Life—an emergent property—appears first at the level of the cell.

In the debate yesterday on rises to parking fees around town (ostensibly, at least in part, to make buses more attractive) Dommie raised an interesting point that this non-bus user had missed:
- #31 posted by dommie
22:38, 1 Jul 2009
Bus Fares went up 80c in one day!! I don't get to watch the news very often and usually don't pay much attention to the local stuff on tv. When I called the wonderful people on the ACTION helpdesk to enquire how this fare rise had been advertised there was no mention of any written print ads or posters. This was a complete surprise to me … yeah maybe I should get my head out of the sand but … when you stumble out of the house at 7.15am with three kids in tow with your cash in hand (and your paying daughters in hers), the last thing you want the bus driver to do is to look at you and say "your $1.20 short love, fares went up". Communication in Government is abysmal at the best of times because they're scared of wasting taxpayers money on advertising that won't be appreciated. But this is something that affects many of the most vulnerable .. how many people were turned away from buses today because they didn't have the right money?
Come on ACTION communicate with your clientele.
So a hefty hike in the fares. Were bus users aware it was coming? One would think signs would have been up on buses a month in advance?

The lazy way out, buying ads and in turn traffic, is dying. The Wall Street Journal broke the story that Apple might disrupt the $70,000,000 (billion) mobile ad market last week. This points to the end of "Easy Street"...or at least the path is becoming more slippery. It's time to shift your spending and thinking. Here's why I can be so confident.
The CMO Club a group of the world's top marketers recently produced "Marketing is a (Buyer) Journey, Not a Destination." The club, in partnership with IBM, conducted research featuring 100 leading members and the perspectives of eight marketing executives from companies including Wells Fargo, Bally, Ticketmaster, Valspar, CNO Financial, medCPU and Goddard Schools.
Regarding this report Kate Maddox in AdAge stated: (emphasis mine)
- "57% of CMOs plan to boost marketing budgets over the next two to three years.
- Content development will make up the largest portion of the marketing budget (13.3%),
- followed by traditional advertising (11.5%), the study found.
- Other top areas of investment will be online advertising (11.1%),
- events (10.9%),
- website development (10.5%)
- and public relations (9.6%)."
I found this to be a helpful guide to our clients and me. Budgeting is always a difficult process. Seeing what the worlds largest are investing in points the path, perhaps, to safety. Not of course that numbers always follow the correct path...but it is still worth noting. The risk these marketers take is backed by sophisticated thinking, math, research and more testing than most of us in the small to midsized business world can afford.
"Content is king." You have heard this adage most likely but do you follow it? Very few do. Before now it's been harder to understand why. The gap between what we know and what we do is often a chasm not a crack. It's time to shift. Why, because the lazy way out, buying ads and traffic is dying. The Wall Street Journal cracked the story last week that shows the end of the tunnel...or at least the path becoming more slippery.
"Apple Inc.'s move to make it easier to block ads on iPhones and iPads is troubling publishers and heightening tensions with its Silicon Valley neighbors. Putting such "ad blockers" within reach of hundreds of millions of iPhone and iPad users threatens to disrupt the $70 billion annual mobile-marketing business, where many publishers and tech firms hope to generate far more revenue from a growing mobile audience. If fewer users see ads, publishers—and other players such as ad networks—will reap less revenue." http://www.wsj.com/articles/apples-ad-blockers-raise-tensions-1440974849
Do you see the connection? Your ads are going to be blocked...the path to your offering on the internet will be more and more driven by organic search. You can't just buy it anymore. These are stark predictions and no, it will not be a black and white change. Truth will be in the middle and truth will be that you need to invest in content the way you used to invest in advertising.
I guide clients to craft content plans and steady diets of content in the format of thought leadership, page content, videos and other tools that impact organic search. You should think about this as well.

Indianapolis Colts 2020 Draft Grade: D
The Colts are a bit confusing. They brought in Philip Rivers with Jacoby Brissett already established at tosser. Rivers and Brissett's stats are similar and Brissett is young and relatively cheap. Then they take QB Jacob Eason who is a cancer in the clubhouse. Jonathan Taylor should be a beast behind the Colts offensive line. Michael Pittman was a reach, but could be productive opposite of T.Y. Hilton.
Indianapolis Colts 2018 Draft Grade: B
We like that they took two potential Pro Bowl guards in Quenton Nelson and Braden Smith. After that, the train went a bit off the tracks. They reached for all of their second round defenders in Tyquan Lewis, Kemoko Turay and Darius Leonard. Of the three Leonard is the best prospect, but there were much better defenders available in the second round.
Indianapolis Colts 2017 Draft Grade: A-
The Colts went defense in the first three rounds and were able to get players who were projected to be drafted higher. S Malik Hooker is a nice value at pick 15, and second round corner Quincy Wilson was a borderline first rounder. Third round DE Terell Basham had a second round grade. Look for 4th round RB Marlon Mack to be the starter by the end of 2017. Fifth round LB Anthony Walker could also compete for a starting spot. The Colts needed a lot of help on defense and they made significant strides in this draft.
Indianapolis Colts 2016 Draft Grade: C+
The Colts reached with nearly every pick in the draft, but at least the reaches were for offensive linemen. Ryan Kelly should be a day one starter at center, but he's not a special player. S T.J. Green was reach in the second round and third round pick OT La'Raven Clark just isn't very good. 4th round DT Hassan Ridegway was their best value pick and 5th round tackle Joe Haeg may be a better pro than Clark.
Indianapolis Colts 2015 Draft Grade: C+
We are big fans of first round pick Phillip Dorsett, but didn't they need a defensive player there? They went strong on defense after that pick nabbing defensive end Henry Anderson and corner Djoun Smith in the third round. In the 6th round they took Georgia inside linebacker Amarlo Herrera who is limited athletically but was productive in the SEC for several years. We also like running back Josh Robinson, a bowling ball out of Mississippi State. The Colts have ensured that they will continue to be dominant on offense, but their defense didn't do enough to get better.
UDFA most likely to make the team: Donald Celiscar- CB, Western Michigan
Indianapolis Colts 2014 Draft Grade: B
The Colts didn't have a first or fourth round pick, but they made the most of what they had. We had their third round pick, WR Donte Moncrief, rated as the third wide receiver coming out of this class. Two years ago the Colts selected our number one rated receiver T.Y. Hilton in the third round. We were correct and probably will be again. Moncrief was one of the steals of the draft. G/T Jack Mewhort was drafted in the second round and he provides versatility as a guard who could play tackle in a pinch. There isn't much more that catches our eye, but Moncrief will be someone to watch though probably not until 2015 after Reggie Wayne retires.
UDFA most likely to make the team: Louchiez Purifoy- CB, Florida

Q: I would love to have your help with getting a refund on a one-way ticket I purchased from South African Airlines. This was for a flight from Lusaka to Cape Town, with a connecting stop in Johannesburg, South Africa, which was part of a once-in-a-lifetime trip to visit my sister living in Lusaka.
When my flight from Lusaka arrived in Johannesburg, South Africa, I was forced to buy a new ticket to continue on to Cape Town. This was required because I could not provide the credit card I used to purchase the original ticket, which South African Airlines uses for identification. (I always travel with a different card, which has no fee on international transactions.)

Lords of the gourd compete for Punkin Chunkin honors
With teams using more than 100 unique apparatuses to launch globular projectiles a half-mile or more, the 27th annual World Championship Punkin Chunkin event is our pick as November's Weird Festival of the Month.
- Airports, airlines work hard to return your lost items
- Expert: Tourist hordes threaten Sistine Chapel's art
- MGM Grand wants Las Vegas guests to Stay Well
- Report: Airlines collecting $36.1B in fees this year
- Lords of the gourd compete for Punkin Chunkin honors
The airline would not accept my passport, driver's license, or other credit card as valid identification. However, they did accept my other credit card to purchase a new ticket.
After two months of e-mails, meetings and phone calls with customer service and refund departments in Cape Town and Fort Lauderdale, Fla., I received a partial refund of the taxes on the original ticket. I know life isn't fair, yet I feel I should be refunded one of the two tickets I purchased. I only flew once; I paid twice!
— Jennifer Alpaugh, Pacifica, Calif.
A: You're right; life isn't fair. But you still shouldn't have to pay twice for the same ticket. The South African Airways site is clear about its policy: If you're flying with an electronic ticket, "all you have to do is present an I.D. document and credit card (for authentication purposes) to the check-in agent and you will be issued with the normal boarding pass."
You can read the entire rule on SAA's website.
The question is: Was this requirement adequately disclosed? Based on your complaint, I would say not. It's possible the airline included this requirement in the fine print of your reservation, but was it conspicuous enough? (By the way, SAA isn't the only airline to have this policy, which is a precaution against ticket fraud. But the domestic carriers who used to do it have discontinued this rule, possibly because of complaints like yours.)
Traveling with a credit card that charges no foreign transaction fees is a terrific idea, but next time, you might want to take the other card with you — even if you don't plan to use it. You never know when your card might stop working (it happens) or get stolen. You'll be grateful for a backup, even if you have to pay those unconscionable foreign transaction fees.
It's not entirely clear to me why SAA would only refund the taxes on one of your tickets. Obviously, you're the same person, so you were essentially double-booked. The policy on the airline's website says nothing about refunds when you can't show a credit card, but it also doesn't say anything about getting no refunds, either, as far as I can tell.
I got in touch with SAA on your behalf. A representative contacted you immediately by e-mail and apologized for the delay in refunding your money. "Our refund staff is instructed to look at each situation on an individual basis," a representative told you. "When it appears the passenger has made an honest mistake, we are to provide the passenger with a full refund."
The airline blamed the partial refund on "an oversight" and refunded the balance of your ticket back to your credit card.

I have not yet had a chance properly to analyse the Court of Appeal's decision in Symbian Ltd v Comptroller General of Patents [2008] EWCA Civ 1066 (8 Oc 2008) but it looks to me as though the Court has rowed back a bit since Macrossan [2007] RPC 7, [2006] Info TLR 215, [2007] Bus LR 634, [2007] 1 All ER 225, [2006] EWCA Civ 1371 and that English jurisprudence is now closer to that of the EPO Technical Board of Appeal.
"The third stage mandated in Aerotel, which we would have thought normally raises the crucial issue, is whether the alleged contribution is excluded by article 52(2), as limited by art 52(3). So far as we can see, there is no reason, at least in principle, why that test should not amount to the same as that identified in Duns, namely whether the contribution cannot be characterised as "technical". In effect, this can be said to involve conflating the third and fourth stages in Aerotel, a conflation which is easy to accept bearing in mind that it was said in Aerotel that the fourth stage, while required by Merrill Lynch, was unlikely to add anything to the third stage (a view supported by Kitchin J in Astron Clinica Ltd v Comptroller-General [2008] RPC 14, [49] and by Patten J in this case at [44])."
"(1) Properly construe the claim;
(2) Identify the actual contribution;
(3) Ask whether it falls solely within the excluded subject matter;
(4) Check whether the contribution is actually technical in nature."
Stage (1) was not in issue. The "actual contribution" was "a program which makes a computer operate on other programs faster than prior art operating programs enabled it to do by virtue of the claimed features". That did not consist solely of excluded subject matter because it had "the knock-on effect of the computer working better as a matter of practical reality." (Don't all applications do that :-)) And that was £technical" on any view of the meaning of the word. On that basis, On that basis Nick Patten had asked the right questions and the appeal against his jusgment was dismissed.

The company behind online dating services Tinder, Match and OkCupid notified US regulators on Friday that it plans to look for love from investors by going public on Wall Street.
The Match Group will seek to raise $100 million (roughly Rs. 647 crores) with an initial public offering of shares on the Nasdaq, trading under the symbol "MTCH," according to a filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
Match operates a portfolio of more than 45 brands, which also include Meetic, Twoo and Friendscout24, each of them designed "to increase our users' likelihood of finding a romantic connection," according to the filing.
Altogether, the company said it offers dating products in 38 languages in 190 countries, with approximately 59 million monthly users total.
Neither the number of shares, price or intended date of the IPO were available Friday.
Match reported in the filing that its revenue climbed from $713.4 million (roughly Rs. 4,616 crores) in the 2012 to $888.3 million (roughly Rs. 5,747 crores) last year, while net earnings rose from $90.3 million (roughly Rs. 584 crores) to $148.4 million (roughly Rs. 960 crores) in those years.
Match is a wholly owned subsidiary of IAC/InterActiveCorp, a US media and Internet giant.
Swiping right on acquisitions
Among Match's best-known products is Tinder, a smartphone application that lets people swipe through photos of prospective romantic partners within close proximity.
Tinder has gotten a reputation as a tool for spontaneous sexual encounters, an image that Match Group has railed against.
"Whether it's a good date, a meaningful relationship or an enduring marriage, romantic connectivity lifts the human spirit," Match Group said in describing its mission in the SEC filing.
The company was formed plenty of relationships of its own, as it has grown mainly through new acquisitions after being founded in 2009.
In July, Match announced a deal to buy Canadian online dating service PlentyOfFish Media for $575 million (roughly Rs. 3,720 crores).
"As more people than ever use more dating apps than ever with more frequency than ever, PlentyOfFish's addition both brings new members into our family of products and deepens the lifetime relationship we have with our users across our portfolio," Match chief executive Sam Yagan said at the time.
PlentyOfFish billed itself as an industry leader and expressed confidence that a marriage with Match would accelerate its growth.
The acquisition was expected to close by year's end, pending approval by regulators.
Aside from its dating businesses, Match also has a foot in the education space with its ownership of the test preparation and college advising company The Princeton Review

Since I wear glasses, many headphones I've worn hurt after a while. I bought these for my daughter but tried them on and they were unbelievably comfortable.
Great Product. Love it.
So far I have loved this product. Call quality is great and it has no problem picking up your voice, even on a windy day. The charge lasts a really long time, which was a pleasant surprise.
Not sure how I managed life before these. I wear them all the time at work to drown out the conversations. (open work environment) I also use them when I'm studying and it helps me focus.
Great headphones, quality build, clear sound and long battery life.

I went to Costco again this week. I found lots of power foods, and I thought you might enjoy seeing what I got! So I made a short video.
I mentioned in the video about the benefits of eating products (like the Kerrygold butter) from grass-fed pasture-raised animals. I found a link that gives some data. Disclaimer: I am not vouching for this site's contents. Honestly they were the first that came up in google that showed some of the data that I wanted to show you. http://www.eatwild.com/healthbenefits.htm
Are you guys tired of grocery haul videos? Let me know what you would like to see more of in the comments!
