Pearlasia Gamboa
|Pearlasia Gamboa
|Elvira G. Gamboa
|Rocky Austin (bf. 1993),
Mark Logan Pedley (1994-present)
Pearlasia Gamboa (born Elvira G. Gamboa) is a Filipino American business woman involved in controversial banking and investments, for which she has been successfully sued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and various state agencies. She was connected to a micronation that has been used as a front for fraudulent criminal activity.
Personal life[edit]
Gamboa was born Elvira G. Gamboa,[1] in 1951,[2][3] in Manila.[2] She was married to Rocky Austin,[4] but later divorced prior to 1993 and currently lives in California.[2] In 1994, she married Mark Logan Pedley.[5] She has a daughter, Bernadette, from her first marriage,[4] and a son, Hazemach, from her second.[2]
In 1994 companies run by Gamboa, and which were purporting to be banks, were prevented from operating in Indiana[6] and California.[7]
Banking micronation[edit]
Gamboa was the president of the micronation known as the Dominion of Melchizedek, set up by her husband Mark Pedley.[8] The micronation, which only exists in cyberspace, is a front for fraudulent criminal activity.[9][10]
ZNext Mining[edit]
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission took her to civil court over a company she owned, ZNext Mining, in 2009, alleging that she had used fictitious reports of gold mining operations to profit by fraudulently sell shares, siphoning off more than $1 million.[3][11] She maintained that any fraudulent manipulation of stock prices was carried out by her husband without her knowledge. After Gamboa failed to appear in federal court to contest the government's accusations, a default judgment was ordered against her in August 2010 totaling $1.8 million; a $650,000 fine for the ZNext corporation, and $1.18 million for Gamboa personally. Gamboa was also permanently barred from selling penny stocks. In 2011, she said she had not paid the fine and was attempting to have the decision overturned.[2]
ZNext Mining was investigated by a multi-agency taskforce as part of Operation Broken Trust, a US-wide operation in 2010 that targeted investment fraud. Although her husband Mark Pedley was charged, under the name Tzemach David Netzer Korem, and pleaded guilty, Gamboa was not.[12]
Use of aliases[edit]
Gamboa has operated under various pseudonyms, including Pearl Asian and Bae Katiguman,[3] and Pearlasia.[2]

The study of geography stimulates an interest in and a sense of wonder about places. It helps young people make sense of a complex and dynamically changing world.
It explains where places are, how places and landscapes are formed, how people and their environment interact, and how a diverse range of economies, societies and environments are interconnected. It builds on students' own experiences to investigate places at all scales, from the personal to the global.
What will your child learn in our subject?
In Year 7 students will be learning about The Living World, Africa, Food and Energy, Water and the Land and Map Skills. In Year 8 we move on to Weather and Climate, Asia, Coasts, Settlement and Restless Earth. In Year 9 topics include Going Global, Population Change, Coasts, Economic Developments and Environmental Concerns. Geography inspires pupils to become global citizens by exploring their own place in the world, their values and their responsibilities to other people, to the environment and to the sustainability of the planet.
Celebrating Success:
Last year the Geography team undertook a successful fieldwork trip to Norfolk.
Extra-Curricular Activities and Trips
In Geography, staff are planning more fieldwork visits. We are looking at local and overseas destinations.
What is special about us?
In the future geographers will have the opportunity to use the school's own weather station to monitor and predict local weather!

Fun fact: The genial gentleman who published The Homeschooling Revolution is a Mixed Martial Arts guru.
For that reason I'm intrigued by this upcoming film where a science teacher/family man fights a Marine for a huge monetary prize. The twist: The educator and the ex-soldier are brothers who don't get along. The question: Which one will be crowned 'the toughest guy on the planet'?
Release date: September 9.

Now for the wood...!! I just don't know! I like the huon pin but it may be a little expensive, I'll still look into it. I'll do some research, I need to consider aesthetics, weight, properties of the wood and cost. And don't worry, I've got some extremely good timber sources . I'll make sure it's properly dried.

Ajax striker made to work as parking attendant
Amsterdam: In one of the weirdest punishment in football history, Ajax Amsterdam striker Richairo Zivkovic has been made to work in the club's training ground car park as a parking attendant.
Richairo Zivkovic
The Dutch striker has been punished for repeatedly turning up late for training, mirror.co.uk reported on Sunday.
"He has indeed been working as parking attendant because he was late again," confirmed his agent Sjaak Swart.
"He's learned from it. I think the punishment came directly from coach Frank de Boer."
Zivkovic joined Ajax last summer from Groningen for 3 million euros but has not played much in this campaign with just nine substitute appearances and one goal.

HOW TO Register
Painting the Figure with Expression
with David Shevlino
David Shevlino studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and the University of Pennsylvania. His work has been featured in national publications and he has exhibited his work and taught workshops throughout the U.S. He has also produced a series of DVDs about his painting methods and has several books published on his works.
"My exposure to art began as a teenager growing up in NJ near NYC. I began making trips to art museums in NYC when I was 15 and developed a love of traditional figurative painting. As a youth I found myself especially drawn to the old masters. Those early trips to the museum instilled in me a love of craft and a sense of where painting comes from. For most of my artistic career I've tried to take what I've learned about traditional painting and mold it into something I can call my own, which presently means exploring the place between traditional figurative painting and abstraction."
Nicole's Studio & Art Gallery is thrilled to host David's unique workshop where the student will focus not just on painting the model from life, but also explore new techniques to help unleash your creativity by pushing the boundaries between realism and abstract.
Students will start with a loose, quick acrylic underpainting, then work over it in oil paint. The acrylic paint dries with in a few minutes, making it ideal for underpainting. Painting over an underpainting allows for more building up of paint so that parts can be scraped and wiped away to expose the underlying tones and forms. This lends itself to an expressive, more abstract approach, while creating an interplay between tones, forms and color. In addition to brushes, students will learn how to use plastic scrapers to add and remove paint.
David will also cover blocking in shapes, light shadow, values and color application, drawing, etc as it relates to rendering the figure throughout the workshop.
We will paint from a live model, both nude and costumed.
Click here to view David Shevlino's website
MEDIUM: Acrylic underpainting, then oils suggested but acrylic painters are welcome too, David will work with you individually on technique.
INTENDED AUDIENCE: Not recommended for very beginner students. Please contact the gallery if you have questions about your level of experience.

Nicole has spent a career studying the nuances of painting water, winning major national awards around the US, including being awarded Signature Member of the American Impressionist Society.
Water is one of the most important elements to learn how to paint, simply because it appears in so many scenes water creates beauty in a painting like nothing else.

Dan Nelson believes very strongly that "The essence of good painting is making interesting marks with your brush on the canvas". While this may sound simple, interesting brushwork is something that artists at ALL LEVELS struggle with. Most students use approximately 3 different brushstrokes per painting, but this workshop will teach you how to make at least 42 unique and different strokes!
Dan will break brushstrokes into 7 different categories, with 6 degrees of intensity within each category. Since 6x7= 42 you will literally leave with a huge number of new brush strokes in your painting arsenal!
And since another key element to interesting brushstrokes is having luscious and harmonious colors, this workshop will also address the basics of color mixing.
Students will do several color mixing and brushwork exercises during the class, which will culminate in doing one small painting during the last hour where you put all the skills you learn together on canvas!
Topics covered include:
• The 42 essential brushstrokes you need to know to add intrest to your paintings
• Learning to break the habit of doing "brushy brush", when you put paint on the canvas without giving thought to HOW you are applying it
• Planning your brushwork to accentuate the subject matter rather than detract from it
MEDIUM: Acrylic OR Oil

Understanding the Importance of Colors & Values to help you create beautiful paintings.
with Nicole Kennedy
After years of teaching, Nicole realized that most of her students, from beginner to advanced struggle with basically the same two issues: color and value relationships.
Value seems like a simple concept; light to dark....until you assign a color to a value and that's when the trouble begins. What value is that bright blue? What is the value difference between the foreground tree to the background mountain? What is the intensity shift? Is the shadow of the boat darker lighter than the water? How much contrast is too much or to little?
In this workshop you will learn to look at value in terms of both absolutes as well as their relationships to other objects. It's the key fundamental to making your paintings more "technically correct".
In the remainder of the workshop you will work on creativity and try to push your paintings from technically correct to creative choices! Once you understand the fundamentals of colors and values, you can then use them in unexpected ways to find your own voice. Dsicover and explore the concepts of creative finesse, and those ever-important final touches that add extra dimension and beauty to the final product.
If you are serious about learning to paint, or have been painting awhile but aren't getting the results you want, this class is filled with "aha" moments! This class is also designed to prepare you to take workshops with nationally renowned instructors!
In Class we will:
• Look at photos to understand color as a value
• Take a black and white photo & paint in color
• Do some color mixing exercises to identify their values (this is fun)
• Learn how to mix high key and low key palettes
• Discuss the importance of colors and how changing one color changes everything else in the painting.
• Learn some creative techniques help bring the painting to life -- brushstrokes, palette knife, etc.
• You will do a small painting (or two) or two using color/value principles to achieve the results you want
MEDIUM: Oil or Acrylic
INTENDED AUDIENCE: Anyone except very beginners, class is best suited for students who have taken Beyond Beginner or other workshops.

Faces to Figures with an Impressionistic Flair
with Nationally Recognized Artist Dan Beck
Signature Member Oil Painters of America
Dan's workshop will focus on a loose intuitive approach to painting the figure subject, whether the full figure or from the shoulders up, exploring other ways to "see" will be discussed using the painter's language of line, shape, value, color, texture and EDGES! This workshop helps students simplify intent and learn how to use essential visual elements to give your paintings both direction and the "reason to be". By helping you to understand and execute the importance of the six elements (mentioned above), your experience in painting the figure (or head) will be enhanced by not only integrating these "concepts", but then giving you the freedom to taking it a step beyond and tap into your intuitive side.
Our workshop participants over the years have enjoyed Dan's open approach, attentive yet laid back teaching style and were amazed at how much they learned. Don't miss out on this opportunity, even if you aren't a regular figurative painter the concepts in this workshop translate to every type and style of painting.
Dan will demonstrate, then students will paint the model as Dan gives individual attention discussing the important 6 elements to painting the figure: line, shape, value, color, texture and edges.
Intended Audience: Intermediate to Advanced painters.
Note: This is not an academic drawing class on "how to" paint the figure. However Dan will work with students on specific drawing or figurative issues handled on an individual basis as needed. While having painted a figure before is helpful, it is not a pre-requisite.

"Immediacy is apparent in my work because it is the nature of my subjects, and for me, the most instinctive way to paint. Form and light are critical elements "
-Kim English
This dynamnic workshop will teach you to rapidly capture figurative gestures, light and form. Discover how to paint quickly and accurately, concentrating on the "process" as well as the narrative.
We will have models each day and paint numerous studies 3 minutes, 5 minutes then 10 and 20 minutes on the last 2 days. You will be practicing capturing the gesture using a controlled approach by focusing on painting shapes that make up the figure/scene rather than "drawing". A working palette will be developed simplifying the comparison of color and value, an essential part of making a great painting.
At least one day will be spent outside in the neighborhood surrounding the gallery painting the model outdoors.
This is a class comprised of many studies and demonstrations by Kim, rather than lecture and theory. Kim demonstrates on and off throughout the workshop providing an opportunity to observe how he captures the whole scene in 20 minutes or less. His methods are quick and accurate, keeping the painting fresh and alive.
Kim will be assisting artists individually at their easels. He will challenge you to paint the model(s) starting in 3 minutes up to 10 and 20mins by the 2nd/3rd day. This process forces the painter to see the shapes and forms and light patterns and not be bogged down in the details or minutiae.
"By the time I finished Day 3 day with Kim English, I had literally painted dozens of studies where I could see a clear improvement. I was finally able to finally capture the whole scene from the model to everything around it in the time alloted suggesting a whole painting rather than just a figure study. I learned a new way to prepare my palette to facilitate quick decisions and most important to draw with SHAPES and not lines. By the 3rd day I was exhausted but exhilerated with my results. If you don't want to puch yourself and maybe step out of the comfort zone, then I would not recomment this class for you.

INTENDED AUDIENCE: Recommended intermediate and up. Please contact the gallery if you have questions about your level of experience.

Painting with the Masters, Old and New Techniques with David Dunlop
David Dunlop is a modern day old master whose luminous landscapes draw from both Renaissance techniques and contemporary science. His paintings have been shown internationally and are held in the collections of major corporations from Citibank, Delta Airlines, GE and IBM. He had a PBS Television series called "Landscapes Through Time with David Dunlop" which won a 2009 Emmy Award. David is represented by galleries across the US and is a very highly sought after instructor and lecturer. We are thrilled to host David here at Nicole's Studio!!
David's reputation as a painter who combines artistic skill, knowledge and enthusiasm prompted the Metropolitan Museum of Art to invite him to lecture. Don't miss out on your chance to study with someone whose exhaustive knowledge of painting is also matched with a humble and encouraging teaching style.
This 3-day workshop will have a daily combination of lecture and slides (2-3 hours), demo (2 hours or more, in both oil and acrylic) and student painting 2-3 hours). The following topics will be covered:
Day 1: Painting Reflections, From Shop Windows to Lakes and Streams
Learn how to paint distorted illusions of space, motion and perspective as seen in reflections on water, glass and shiny surfaces like metal, water and glass. Learn how to evoke the complexities of fractured reflections found in moving water, street puddles, lakes, cylinders and spheres (like fruit and ceramics), distortions of perspective found on plate glass windows along avenues. We see how other artists (past and present) painted reflections and their distortions. Demonstrations using oil, acrylics, watercolor and mixed media will be provided.
Day 2: From Representation to Abstraction in Nature.
Learn new strategies to make more believable landscapes and then how to abstract and expand your expression of nature (from deep vistas to intimate gardens). Learn how to apply methods found in jewelry-making like cloisonné, or guilloche techniques in your painting. Learn new ways to design your pictures by borrowing from other cultures and time in oil, acrylics, watercolor, and mixed media. Learn how to apply new insights from psychology and neuroscience to make your pictures more exciting. Your instructor will demonstrate how to evoke movement and space in your paintings in various media.
Day 3: Contemporary landscape painting.
We start in the late 19th century with the blurred, dream landscapes of George Inness, Turner, and Corot. To see how they painted and how they evolved into the Impressionists. Quickly, we move into Cezanne to see how he united the biology of vision to the history of art. Next, we learn how to abstract landscapes as did the late 20th century artists. The demonstrations will present these ideas using new tools, materials and techniques. The demonstration will focus on the new materials and tools which range from Photoshop effects in painting to metal and plastic surfaces, to of over-painting digitally printed material, to new tools like squeegees, brayers, and blowers.
INTENDED AUDIENCE: This class is appropriate for most levels except very beginner. Please feel free to contact Nicole or Kelly if you have questions about whether this class is appropriate for you.

Painting Fall Foliage at its Peak en Plein Air - with Nicole Kennedy
While most people know Nicole for her figurative works, she is also an award winning landscape and plein air painter, having been recently juried into Women Painters of the Southeast and National Audubon Artists Org in Salmagundi Club NYC
Students ask..why is it important to learn painting in plein air? Many of us paint from photos but don't realize how far off the colors and values really are. Nicole's opinion is that student's biggest obstacles to painting is from photos that don't capture or "explain" what the scene really looked like!! By understanding and practicing how to paint plein air in the landscape it will make all the difference in your ongoing works and make problem solving so much easier. Artists are amazed at how chasing the light and creating studies create not only beautiful spontaneous works, but will enhance and improve studio works from landscapes to even figures.
Topics include:
• Simplifying the scene into shapes and values
• Creating "block ins" to map your composition
• Establishing the values of a color in realationship to the surroundings
• Understanding the light as it moves
• Learning how to manipulate the scene to bring things forward or push them back, creating atmosphere
• The option of painting a variety of subjects; charming barns, fields, colorful folage, animals, moving water and more.
INTENDED AUDIENCE: This class is designed for any student who has painted before
Students should have a limited palette with these colors or equivalent depending on brand: Ultramarine Blue, Cerulean or Manganese Blue, Alizerin Crimson or Magenta, Cadmium red light or vermillion, Cadmium Yellow, Titanium White. Optional Red Oxide, Cad Yellow medium, Viridian

Unique Balance Replacement
A quick learner from hattiesburg, Mississippi says:
August 24, 2016
I have several windows that need the balances replaced and this is what is stamped on the side of one of them. Can you please tell me which ones to get
Tom from SWISCO responded:
August 25, 2016
I'm afraid I cannot identify what you have based on this picture. I recommend that you look at our Channel Balance Home Page and follow the steps in order to find the Series that best matches what you have.
A quick learner from Hattiesburg says:
August 25, 2016
I cannot figure this out with your diagram. It doesn't exactly match any of the pictured ones. It is a tilt window, straight channel. It has Unique Balance 38E stamped on it. Not sure whether to measure just the metal part of the channel? 39" or do I include the plastic part sticking out.
Tom from SWISCO responded:
August 26, 2016
Thank you for the additional information. Could you use our Series 795 channel balance? It's a little different, but appears to be the best match we have. Let me know what you think.
A quick learner from Hattiesburg, MS says:
August 26, 2016
How do I measure the length of the channel?
Tom from SWISCO responded:
August 29, 2016
You will need to measure the metal channel with a tape measurer. Make sure to only count the metal channel, not the nylon shoe.

Amherst, Massachusetts (PressExposure) December 21, 2009 -- Otalo (http://www.otalo.com) has expanded its vacation rental search index to include over 460,000 vacation homes around the world. That's an increase of over 260,000 new vacation homes to their search inventory. In January Otalo launched a next-generation vacation rentals search engine - http://www.otalo.com - that searches across the internet's many different vacation rentals sites, giving people planning vacations access to hundreds of thousands vacation rental listings with a single powerful search.
Expansion "We started Otalo with 200,000 vacation homes and in just a few months we've over doubled our inventory to more than 460,000 vacation rentals, said Baer Tierkel, one of Otalo's founders. "Our partnerships with great rental sites such as HomeAway, Escapia, Vacation Roost and others allow us to deliver qualified renters directly to their sites while providing renters a really easy way - a single search - to search across all the web for their perfect vacation rental with a single search." .
A Single Search accesses 460,000 Vacation Rentals There is no need to wade through hundreds of different vacation rental websites trying to find a great vacation rental. Otalo lets you use a single search to find your perfect vacation rental across 460,000 listings from many different websites including HomeAway, Escapia, Zonder, We Need A Vacation, Rentalo, Vacation Roost, and many more. With Otalo you enter your criteria once - price range, number of bedrooms, location, amenities and then search once to find your favorite vacation rental. Then you can share the homes you've found with your friends via email, twitter, facebook, and more! Otalo is free service to both renters and vacation rental sites.
"Looking for a vacation rental at the beach in the cold of February should be fun and not tedious," said co-founder Mike Giles, "It's actually a lot of fun to browse through all the great photos of cool homes in faraway warm places from Orlando to to Spain to Tahiti. As the world-wide economy continues to be tough on vacationers, vacation rentals serve as a great alternative to more costly hotels and resorts."
New Vacation Rental Partners With the addition of HomeAway, Escapia, Rentalo, and VacationRoost, Otalo is helping more and more vacation rental websites by delivering qualified vacation renters directly to their websites for bookings and information (like Google, but for vacation rentals). Otalo displays all properties fairly (as any search engine should) and the users then click-through to the source site. Otalo does not take direct listings or bookings, and refers property owners and renters to its source sites to list their vacation rentals. There are no charges or fees to vacation rental websites to be included in the Otalo search index.

Bankruptcy plays a major disrupting role, and in Kleinplatz v Nathan L. Dembin & Assoc., P.C. 2017 NY Slip Op 01645 Decided on March 7, 2017 Appellate Division, First Department we see plaintiff losing the right to sue in legal malpractice. It vanished when he repeatedly failed to list the potential claim as an asset.
"Plaintiff's prolonged failure to disclose the instant lawsuit to the bankruptcy court renders him judicially estopped from pursuing the claim (Koch v National Basketball Assn., 245 AD2d 230, 230-231 [1st Dept 1997]; Becerril v City of N.Y. Dept. of Health & Mental Hygiene, 110 AD3d 517, 519 [1st Dept 2013], lv denied 23 NY3d 905 [2014]). While the error initially may not have been intentional, as plaintiff had not commenced the legal malpractice claim when he filed his Chapter 13 petition, and was pro se at the time and may not have known that he was required to disclose such a suit, he failed to disclose the lawsuit to the bankruptcy court even after he commenced it, even after he retained bankruptcy counsel, and even after defendants cited the failure to disclose it in an unsuccessful summary judgment motion made years earlier, in June 2011. Thus, plaintiff's ongoing failure to correct the omission suggests it was not merely a good faith mistake or unintentional (compare Murray, 248 BR at 487; United States v Hussein, 178 F3d 125, 130 [2d Cir 1999]).
Because we determine that dismissal is appropriate on this ground, it is unnecessary to consider whether plaintiff otherwise had standing to pursue the claim.
The court providently exercised its discretion in granting leave to amend the answer (CPLR 3025[b]; Cherebin v Empress Ambulance Serv., Inc., 43 AD3d 364, 365 [1st Dept 2007]). There was no significant prejudice to plaintiff from the delay to seek leave; plaintiff cannot claim [*2]surprise regarding his own failure to disclose the instant lawsuit in the bankruptcy proceeding (Edenwald Contr. Co. v City of New York, 60 NY2d 957, 959 [1983]). As previously noted, plaintiff failed to disclose the instant lawsuit to the bankruptcy court for years, even after he was alerted to the issue of nondisclosure."

Alright. I'm 58 and job hunting….I admit it, I'm getting old. My spirit is youthful (some say I'm an arrested adolescent), I'm in solid physical shape (I bike, run, swim), I'm reasonably current with teaching and learning, and I'm flexible about where to go next. Seems like I've got potential.
But, OMG I have an interview coming up!!!!! I have 25 yrs as an administrator and I've spent hours interviewing candidates for teaching positions BUT I can count the number of times I've been interviewed in my life on my fingers. Not very many, considering I'm almost the big Six – Oh. Interviewing takes skill and especially interviewing over skype. Being quick on your feet – at least for me – is always a challenge, especially as I often consider my most insightful thoughts as a series of linked sentence fragments. Sentence fragments don't really sound very impressive in interviews! I need the face to face conversation, but even then I probably tend to "over talk" everything!
Then there is the brushing up on buzzwords and trends. I certainly had read about STEM in the US and the focus upon Science, Tech, Engineering, and Math and the absolute need to build programs that nurture engineering skills in students. But, recently STEAM has become equally valued – rightly so. The 'A' stands for the Arts and now STEM begat STEAM! I recently made a comment during the interview about wanting to learn more about inquiry and "digging" into it more. I made it sound like inquiry was new to me. When, in fact, what I meant was – every school (as viewed through most current position descriptions) refers to inquiry in their mission, strategic plan, curriculum documents, etc and yet I wonder how many of them are TRULY doing inquiry. It takes training and skill to be a really good inquiry teacher, especially at the upper school grade levels. My point is admitting that you want to learn more about something can sometimes hurt your chances! A few years ago I was interviewing with a school board for a superintendent position. I admitted that I hadn't been a superintendent before (not hard to admit since my resume gave that fact away) and I hadn't been in a position of the bottom line budget manager……I thought I was stating the obvious, they thought I was signalling my need for excessive help.
Then there is the post interview autopsy. Why did I say that? What rubbish did I spew with that comment? WHAT WAS I THINKING? The other day I was asked about recent PD….I rambled on about experiences I had with PD the last few summers BUT I didn't even mention the hours I spend culling my twitter feed and reading articles, and how much I learn about my profession by my PLN through twitter. Why didn't I talk about my use of social media for personal learning?
Sometimes you feel as if you have really hit the mark. That's okay until you ultimately convince yourself otherwise. Or worse, you get the rejection email even though you thought it went perfectly! Spouses, our "non-opinionated" partners in all of this, have a very specific role in all of this. Bouncing ideas and listening to the autopsy are both valued. But, any soothing words in an attempt to provide comfort are not really considered neutral…..nice try, but I know I blew it.
So, how does one survive the process and what reminders really matter as I put my head down and barrel through the coming weeks and months? Here are 5 things that come to mind.
- Always maintain perspective, it's about the right match.
- After all these years, experience does matter.
- Re-read and understand your philosophy. Is it really what you believe?
- Understand and pitch your assets. Know your strengths
- Cast a wide net and truly know what is important for the next move. What conditions are essential?
At the end of the day, it's about a good fit. If you have the skills, knowledge, and experience, there should be a good match out there somewhere. Until then, I'll keep bolstering myself for my next skype conversation…..in fact, that's tonight, in 6 hours! I better get ready, go to the gym and loosen up, cram a few articles, re-read my resume, maybe even take a nap so I'm well rested and my sentence fragments are longer than 7 or 8 words in length. My palms are sweaty already!!

Nothing to Lose and Everything to Gain!
January 05, 2017
"Mine!" "No! Mine!" How often have you seen that scenario play out? I certainly found it a recurring theme over the holidays as I watched my two very young grandchildren play. And I would guess that 95 out of 100 initially happy games that ended up in tears, did so when such conflict arose. Even when it wasn't about direct ownership, it was about perceived injustices over "turns" or temporary ownership of a particular activity. The concept of possession thus seems to be a deeply ingrained in our culture from a very early age.
Whether this is good or bad, is actually irrelevant. Less materialistic cultures, such as the San people of the Kalahari, suggest that it is possible to have a culture without ownership and consequently with considerably less conflict. This, arguably, makes ownership the Pandora's Box that seems to be the price we pay for civilisation and something that is almost impossible to discard. Indeed, you could argue that ownership underpins capitalism, which, historically, has been responsible for the world's major economic development.
Yet, even in commerce, ownership is a root of contention and conflict. You only have to watch "Dragon's Den" or "Shark Tank", with would be entrepreneurs pondering an investment offer to see this.

By Carmen Moss-Holdstock (DLA Cliffe Dekker Hofmeyr Tax Alert)
Given the complexity and ever changing tax legislation in South Africa it is useful to take a step back to basics, especially in a VAT context, which will always be a favourite area for SARS to investigate.
The VAT Act, No 89 of 1991 (Act) provides for the imposition of VAT in respect of the supply of goods and services and on the importation of goods and services. Persons who make taxable supplies in the course or furtherance of an enterprise conducted wholly or partly in South Africa are required to register as vendors, provided the minimum turnover threshold is reached. Vendors collect output VAT from their customers and claim credits for input VAT paid by them. The difference between output VAT and input VAT is either paid to or refundable by SARS.
VAT is generally levied at the standard rate of 14% at each stage within the distribution chain, although certain supplies are subject to VAT at a rate of 0% (referred to as 'zero-rated' supplies) that are still taxable. Other supplies are exempt, such as financial services. The benefit of providing taxable supplies is that a vendor can claim an input tax credit associated with the rendering of the taxable supplies.
In terms of s23 of the Act, a person (that includes a natural person, company, etc) is required to register as a vendor if it carries on an enterprise and the total value of taxable supplies during the last 12 months exceeds R1 million, or if at the commencement of any month there are reasonable grounds for believing that the total value of taxable supplies in the next 12 months, will exceed R1 million.
Before a person (or company) can register as a vendor, the person (or company) would need to carry on an enterprise. An 'enterprise' is defined as any activity that is carried on continuously or regularly, or partly in South Africa in the course or furtherance of which goods and services are supplied to any other person for a consideration whether or not for profit. What needs to be understood in a South African VAT context is that a 'vendor' is merely a collection agent for SARS and cannot lay claim to nor own any VAT collected on SARS' behalf.
'Enterprise' is defined, among other things, as follows:
"...in the case of any vendor, any enterprise or activity which is carried on continuously or regularly by any person in the Republic or partly in the Republic and in the course or furtherance of which goods or services are supplied to any person for a consideration, whether or not for profit, including any enterprise or activity carried on in the form of a commercial, financial, industrial, mining, farming, fishing, municipal or professional concern or any other concern of a continuing nature or in the form of an association or club...
Provided that —
(i) ...
(v) any activity shall to the extent to which it involves the making of exempt supplies not be deemed to be the carrying on of an enterprise;'
The supply
Section 12 of the Act deals with exemptions and provides, among other things, that:
"The supply of any of the following goods or services shall be exempt from the tax imposed under s7(1)(a):
(a) the supply of any financial services, but excluding the supply of financial services which, but for this paragraph, would be charged with tax at the rate of zero per cent under s11".
Accordingly, in terms of the Act, any supply of financial services, which is zero rated in terms of s11, is not exempt but is treated as a zero-rated supply.
In terms of s2 of the Act, the following activities are, among other things, deemed to be 'financial services': "the issue, allotment or transfer of ownership of an equity security or a participatory security" (S2(1)(d) of the Act)
In terms of s2(2)(iv) of the Act, an 'equity security' means "any interest in or right to a share in the capital of a juristic person ...".
'Output tax' is defined in section 1 of the Act as: "in relation to any vendor, means the tax charged under s7(1)(a) in respect of the supply of goods and services by that vendor".
Section 7(1)(a) of the Act levies VAT as follows: "on the supply by any vendor of goods or services supplied by him... in the course or furtherance of any enterprise carried on by him".
A 'taxable supply' is in turn defined as: "any supply of goods or services which is chargeable with tax under the provisions of s7(1)(a), including tax chargeable at the rate of zero per cent under s11".
Once a person is registered for VAT, that person has to account for output tax on all taxable supplies of goods and services. Taxable supplies consist of standard rated and zero rated supplies while other supplies are exempt, such as financial services.
Input tax
'Input tax' is defined in s1 of the Act as:
"tax charged... on the supply of goods or services made... to the vendor... where the goods or services concerned are acquired by the vendor wholly for the purpose of consumption, use or supply in the course of making taxable supplies or, where the goods or services are acquired by the vendor partly for such purpose, to the extent (as determined in accordance with the provisions of s17) that the goods or services concerned are acquired by the vendor for such purpose".
An input tax deduction is granted to a vendor where the goods or services were acquired by the vendor wholly for the purpose of consumption, use or supply in the course of making taxable supplies. The benefit of providing taxable supplies is that a vendor can claim an input tax credit associated with the rendering of the taxable supplies by him.
Vendors need to constantly review the VAT obligations imposed on them as part of a prudent tax risk management framework to keep pace with the ever changing South African tax landscape.

About The Book
Dr. Frasier couldn't save the gunshot victim on her front lawn. Now she's fighting for her own life.
It began as a quiet dinner party honoring Dr. Shannon Frasier's colleague, but became a nightmare when a man was shot on her lawn, reviving emotions from a similar episode a decade ago. Then a midnight call from her sister, Megan, causes Shannon to fear that her sister is on drugs again.
Her "almost-fiancé" Dr. Mark Gilbert's support only adds to Shannon's feelings of guilt, since she can't bring herself to fully commit to him. She turns for help to her pastor-father, only to learn that he's just been diagnosed with leukemia. Shannon thought it couldn't get any worse. Then the late-night, threatening phone calls begin, the rough voice asking, "What did he say before he died?"
With everything around her in a critical state, simply staying alive will require all the resources and focus Shannon has.
