Interest Exemption (no changes from the 2018 tax year)
Individuals under 65 R 23,800 per annum
Individuals 65 and over R 34,500 per annum
The above exemptions are applicable to interest earned from a South African source earned by a natural person.
Interest which is received or accrues by or to any person that is not a resident is exempt from tax unless:
that person is a natural person who was physically present in the Republic of South Africa for a period exceeding 183 days in aggregate during the twelve-month period preceding the date on which the interest was received or accrues by or to that person; or
the debt from which the interest arises is effectively connected to a permanent establishment of that person in the Republic."
Dividends Tax
Dividends Tax Dividends tax is a final tax at a rate of 20% on dividends paid by resident companies and by non-resident companies in respect of shares listed on the JSE. Dividends are tax exempt if the beneficial owner of the dividend is a South African company, retirement fund or other exempt person. Non-resident beneficial owners of dividends may benefit from reduced tax rates in limited circumstances. The tax is to be withheld by companies paying the taxable dividends or by regulated intermediaries in the case of dividends on listed shares. The tax on dividends in kind (other than in cash) is payable and is borne by the company that declares and pays the dividend.
Dividends received by individuals from South African companies are generally exempt from income tax, but dividends tax at a rate of 20% is withheld by the entities paying the dividends to the individuals. Dividends received by South African resident individuals from REITs (listed and regulated property owning companies) are subject to income tax. Non-residents in receipt of those dividends are only subject to dividends tax.
Foreign dividends Most foreign dividends received by individuals from foreign companies (shareholding of less than 10% in the foreign company) are taxable at a maximum effective rate of 20%. No deductions are allowed for expenditure to produce foreign dividends.
Medical Tax Credit Rates
Per month(R) 2018/2019
For the taxpayer who paid the medical scheme contributions R 310
For the first dependant R 310
For each additional dependant(s) R 209
Pension, Provident and Retirement Annuity Fund Contributions
Contributions to a pension, provident or retirement annuity fund during a tax year are deductible by the member of the fund. The deduction is limited to the greater of:
27.5% of the employee's remuneration for PAYE purposes (excluding retirement fund lump sums and severance benefits); or
27.5% of the employee's taxable income (excluding retirement fund lump sums and severance benefits).
The deduction is limited to a maximum amount of R 350 000.
If contributions exceed the limitation during a particular tax year, the contributions are carried over to the next tax year.
Donations Exemption
The deduction in respect of donations to certain public benefit organisations is limited to 10% of an individual's taxable income. Such an organisation must be specifically approved by the South African Revenue Service and they must issue with their receipt confirming your contribution. The amount of donations exceeding 10% of the taxable income is treated as a donation to qualifying public benefit organisations in the following tax year.
Donations Tax
Donations tax is levied at a flat rate of 20% of the value of property donated. However, the amount of donations exceeding R30 million is taxed at a rate of 25%.
In the case of a natural person:
The first R 100 000 of the value of property donated is exempt from donations tax.
In the case of a juristic person:
Donations of casual gifts not exceeding R 10 000 per annum in total are exempt from donations tax.
In the case of depositions between spouses, depositions between South African group companies and donations to certain public benefit organisations:
No donations tax is levied.
Deemed Travel
Rates per kilometre, which may be used in determining the allowable deduction for business travel against an allowance or advance where actual costs are not claimed, are determined by using the following table:
Value of the vehicle (including VAT) (R) Fixed cost (R p.a.) Fuel cost (c/km) Maintenance cost (c/km)
0 – 85 000 28 352 95.7 34.4
85 001 – 170 000 50 631 106.8 43.1
170 001 – 255 000 72 983 116.0 47.5
340 001 – 425 000 112 443 133.5 60.9
Exceeding 595 000 155 850 158.4 88.9
See Employee Tax Structuring for more detailed rules.
Employee-owned vehicles are a fringe benefit, where a business vehicle is provided to an employee for the private usage. The taxable value is calculated at 3.5% of the determined cash value (inclusive of VAT) per month of each vehicle. Where the vehicle is subject to a maintenance plan when the employer acquired it, the taxable value will amount to 3.25% of the determined value. If the vehicle was acquired by the employer under an operating lease, the taxable value will be the cost incurred by the employer under the operating lease plus the cost of fuel.
80% of the travelling allowance must be included in the employee's remuneration for the purposes of calculating PAYE. The percentage is reduced to 20% if the employer is satisfied that at least 80% of the use of the motor vehicle for the tax year will be for business purposes.
No fuel cost may be claimed if the employee has not borne the full cost of fuel used in the vehicle and no maintenance cost may be claimed if the employee has not borne the full cost of maintaining the vehicle (e.g. if the vehicle is covered by a maintenance plan).
The fixed cost must be reduced on a pro rata basis if the vehicle is used for business purposes for less than a full year.
No tax is payable on an allowance paid by an employer to an employee up to the rate of 361 cents per kilometre, regardless of the value of the vehicle and the business kilometres travelled. This alternative is not available if other compensation in the form of an allowance or reimbursement (other than for parking or toll fees) is received from the employer in respect of the vehicle.
Non-resident employees should see Expatriates regarding their housing benefit.
Where an employer provides an employee with a house, the fringe benefit value is normally the higher of the cost to the employer or a formula calculated on the employee's salary. Let us know should you require the value calculated.
The following amounts will be deemed to have been actually expended by a recipient to whom an allowance or advance has been granted or paid –
Where the accommodation to which the allowance or advance relates, is in the Republic of South Africa and the allowance or advance is granted to pay for –
meals and incidental costs, and amount of R416 per day;
for incidental costs only, R128 per day
Where the accommodation to which the allowance or advance relates, is outside the Republic of South Africa and the allowance or advance is granted to pay for meals and incidental costs, an amount per day determined in accordance with the following table for the country in which the accommodation is located—

Employees' Tax
Every employer in South Africa must withhold PAYE (Pay-as-you-earn) from remuneration paid to an employee. The rate of withholding is determined by the South African Revenue Service and is published in their EMP10 Guidelines. Tax withheld must be paid on or before the 7th day after the month in which remuneration was paid.
It is the employer's obligation to ensure the correct withholding of PAYE. Where an employer has not withheld the correct amount, it becomes a debt to the South African Revenue Service. When audited, employers often find their tax exposures to be very large and SARS is on a drive to audit all employers.
At the end of a tax year the employer must report the PAYE to SARS on an EMP501 form. This form shows what PAYE was withheld per employee. The income and benefits paid to an employee and the PAYE withheld is also shown on an IRP5 certificate that is handed to the employee. This document is filed by the employee with his or her personal income tax return.
Employees' tax is a complex area and specific questions will be easier to answer than attempting to do the topic justice with a more detailed explanation. See Your tax questions.
Unemployment Insurance Fund – UIF
Unemployment insurance contributions are payable monthly by employers on the basis of a contribution of 1% by employers and 1% by employees, based on employees' remuneration below a certain amount.
Skills Development Levy – SDL
Skills Development Levy (SDL) is payable by employers at a rate of 1% of the total remuneration paid to the employee. Employers paying annual remuneration of less than R 500,000 are exempt from paying SDL.
Residency Test
The residency test is very important for any foreigner coming to South Africa or for any South African going abroad. The reasons being primarily that:
When you are resident of South Africa you pay tax on your worldwide income and as a non-resident you only pay tax on your South African "source" income and certain beneficial exemptions apply; and
When you lose your South African tax residency, for instance you go work abroad and your circumstances dictate that you become non-resident, there is a deemed disposal of certain of your assets for capital gains tax purposes and this may cause some cash flow problems.
An individual will be tax resident in South Africa by applying the following tests:
Firstly, you will never be tax resident in South Africa should you be tax resident, in terms of a double tax agreement entered between South Africa and a tax treaty partner, in the partner country. An example will be where you go and work in the United Kingdom and you become a full tax resident there while you do not have available accommodation in South Africa. The double tax treaty between South Africa and the United Kingdom will then determine that you are exclusively resident in the United Kingdom and the result is that you become non-resident for South African tax purposes.
Provided the above does not apply, you will be South African tax resident as long as you are "ordinarily resident" in South Africa. The meaning of "ordinarily resident" is that you consider South Africa your real home and plan to return to South Africa. This is the reason why many South Africans overseas remain "ordinarily resident" in South Africa and also the reason why foreign workers coming to South Africa on expatriate assignments never become "ordinarily resident".
When you are not treaty resident in another country and you are not "ordinarily resident" in South Africa. It is still possible for you to be tax resident through a Physical presence days test. The test determines whether you are tax resident in South Africa for a particular year of assessment and has two legs:
You are resident if you are, present in South Africa for more than 91 days in the current tax year; and
Present in South Africa for more than 91 days for the preceding 5 tax years; and
Present in South Africa for more than 915 days in aggregate for the preceding 5 tax years.
Should the test be met you will be tax resident in South Africa for the sixth tax year.
The South African Revenue Service now asks specific questions to the above effect in your personal income tax return and has become a lot more aware and active in enforcing the residency tests.
Double Tax Treaties
South Africa has quite an extensive network of double tax treaties with other countries. The treaties are there to prevent tax evasion and to ensure that South African taxpayers do not suffer double taxation. List of the double tax treaties are available on the South African Revenue Service website. Almost all of our treaties are schooled on the OECD Model Tax Treaty and international interpretations will therefore often be given thereto. Click here to read more about Double Taxation Agreements (DTA's).
Foreign Tax Credit
Foreign tax credits are generally given where a South African tax resident is taxed on income that has already been taxed in another country under a source principle and where any double tax agreement between South Africa and that other country allows that country to tax the income.
We will therefore not give tax credits where we have the right to first collect tax on income. This is pretty standard in all tax systems internationally.
The amount of credit must be claimed in an individual's income tax return and the amount of credit given is limited to tax on the income being taxed twice. This ensures that tax credits can never be claimed against income that South Africa has the exclusive taxing right on. Exemptions however do exist. Please contact us for details.
Earnings Exemption
South African resident taxpayers who work abroad still need to declare their foreign income in their individual income tax returns. This income can however be exempted from South African tax by claiming a tax exemption where certain conditions of absence have been met. These conditions are:
It must be employment income; and
The income must be earned while you were working outside South Africa; and
The time that you must have been outside South Africa on work must be more than 183 days in any 365 day period and of this 183 days 60 days of absence must have been continuous; and
The income must become taxable in your hands during the 365 days referred to in the previous point.
This is an important exemption and South Africans working abroad must plan the effect hereof carefully to ensure that they qualify for the exemption.
Estate Duty
It is advisable to plan and consider the financial implications of estate duty well in advance.
The rate is 20% of the amount determined by the Act as subject to estate duty. There are various exemptions such as everything that goes to a surviving spouse. Whatever remains is subject to a standard exemption of R3.5 million per estate.
Estate duty is levied at a flat rate of 20% on the property of South African tax residents and the South African property of non-residents.
A basic deduction of R 3.5 million applies in respect of estate duty. Exemptions are also allowed, including deductions for liabilities, bequests to public benefit organisations and property accruing to surviving spouses.
Capital Gains Rate
Capital gains tax may be triggered by certain events, including a sale, donation, exchange or loss of property, emigration or death.
The maximum effective rates for tax are:
Individuals and Special Trusts 18%
Companies 22,4%
Other Trusts 36%
Specific events are excluded from capital gains tax, including the following:
R 2 million gain or loss on the disposal of a primary residence
Most personal use assets
Payments in respect of original long-term insurance policies
Annual exclusion of R 40 000 capital gain or capital loss is granted to individuals and special trusts
Small business exclusion of R 1.8 million on capital gains for individuals of at least 55 years of age, when a small business with a market value of up to R 10 million is disposed of
An exclusion of R 300 000 on capital gains tax is granted to an individual in the year of death.
Transfer duty is paid where immovable property is acquired and the transaction is not subject to VAT. It applies where rights of ownership are transferred to a natural person or a juristic person such as a company, close corporation or a trust.
Value of property Rate
First R 900 000 0%
R 900 001 – 1 250 000 3% of the value above R900 000
R 1 250 001 – 1 750 000 R 10 500 + 6% of the value above R 1 250 000
R 2 250 001 – 10 000 000 R 80 500 +11% of the value above R 2 250 000
R 10 000 001 and above R 933 000 + 13% of the value above R 10 000 000
If a registered vendor purchases property from a non-vendor, the VAT notional input tax credit is limited to the VAT fraction (14/114) of the lower of the selling price or the open market value. A notional input tax credit is only claimable to the extent to which the purchase price has been paid and the property is registered in the Deeds Office;
With effective date of 10 January 2012, the restriction that the notional input is limited to the transfer duty paid is no longer applicable; and
Persons attempting to evade transfer duty may be charged with an additional duty of up to double the amount of duty that was originally payable. The person will also be guilty of an offence and liable upon conviction to either a fine, or imprisonment, for a period not exceeding sixty months.
No transfer duty will be levied in respect of transactions listed in section 9 of the Transfer Duty Act No. 40 of 1949.


"The St Leger hotel has a lavishness and an opulence that avoids the usual pitfalls of showiness and pretentious." Located outside Doncaster Racecourse.
If you are serious about horses and enjoy nothing better than seeing the turf kicked up by the hoof of a 2/1 favourite then there's really no better lodging option than the Grand St Leger which sits directly opposite Doncaster Racecourse just off the A18 Bennethorpe Roundabout. It is also massively convenient for events at the neighbouring Doncaster Exhibition and Conference Centre and away games at Keepmoat Stadium, home of the famous Rovers – the great white and red hopes of football in South Yorkshire.
The hotel's claim that it is the 'most luxurious in town might not be immediately obvious from just a glance at the exterior, which with the exception of the stately flags and frilly balconies, has all the subtlety and finesse of a JD Witherspoons pub/restaurant, but there's little denying that an enormous amount of care and intelligence has gone into the design of the function rooms and bedrooms alike.
The St Leger has a lavishness and an opulence that avoids the usual pitfalls of showiness and pretentious, the smart, imaginative bathrooms and the floral touches on restaurant tables adding a definite sense of romance to your stay. The beautifully appointed Carrington's Restaurant offers full breakfast and lunch menus plus a la carte evening meals, featuring dishes to suit everyone's taste.


Not quite winter, not quite spring. The Aeolian islands sound pretty good right now!
As a good Minnesotan, I love the winter. Bring on the cold and please bring lots of snow. However, when April arrives, I'm ready for winter to be over. A warm ocean breeze sounds pretty good right now! Join our Italian Food, Wine & Travel group this month as we explore the wines from Italian islands. Right now, the thought of a glass of wine while sitting at the beach, looking over turquoise water with my toes in the sand sounds pretty good. Take a look further down in this post for a bunch of posts from my fellow day-dreamers of Italian islands!
Lipari is the largest of the Aeolian island archipelago, formed by volcanic action thousands of years ago.
My daydream takes us to the island of Lipari, the largest of the Aeolian islands located between the mega-island of Sicily and the toe of the mainland Italian boot. The Aeolian islands are all of volcanic origin, although none are active today. While the islands are typically day trips or cruise ship stops, it seems they are perfect for a longer stay.
Tenuta de Castellaro's wines are clearly Italian, and they are also immediately recognizable as something unique.
Tenuta de Castellaro (use Chrome or Google translate as the website is in Italian) does not have a long history, only having started in 2005. However, they have taken pains to establish themselves into the volcanic land of Lipari. They are cultivating native grapes, taking advantage of the volcanic terrain, and taking a low intervention approach in both the vineyard and cellar. It shows! We were recently introduced to these wines by our server (and the wine buyer) Megan at Young Joni in Minneapolis. While Megan explained, I realized this might be a wine worth showcasing at #ItalianFWT. The next day, I did a little research and found that not just the Ossidiana Nero, but the Pomice white wine available locally as well. Perfect!
If you're a fan of Etna wines, you may recognize the I Vigneri embossed bottle.
"It has the sun and a strong brackish minerality between its deep roots. The heady aromas of the Malvasia delle Lipari blend masterfully with the fresh mineral caress of the Carricante to create a taste where the concept of balance becomes the archetype of a complex Sicilian elegance ready to conquer the world.
Nose: Clean, medium+ intensity. Ripe lemon, lemon pie filling or lemon furniture polish. Saline impression with wet gravel.
Mouth: Dry, medium+ flavor intensity. High acidity, full body, medium alcohol. Lemon pie filling, saline air, wet gravel, touch of bitter almond in the finish. Rich body with nice roughness to the texture. Medium+ finish with lingering lemons and wet gravel.
Eye: Clear, medium intensity ruby with a garnet edge. Very fine sediment and legs.
Nose: Clean, medium+ intensity. Ripe red and blue fruit: strawberries and blueberries. Earthy tones, walking in a pine forest with needles and duff underfoot.
Mouth: Dry, medium+ flavor intensity. Medium+ acidity, medium- tannins. Pine needles, rosemary, balsamic vinegar, earthy notes, then red fruit – strawberries and blue fruit – blueberries. Animal hints of bacon, salumi. Nice medium+ length finish with just a hint of bitter in the finish.
The heart and soul of the main course is formed by all these great flavors – garlic, scallions, olives, sardines and tomatoes. I'm going to make this as its' own pasta sauce!
Don't hesitate to serve a red wine with fish, especially ocean fish and a red sauce!
Jill at L'Occasion shares '300 Days of Sunshine': The Vineyards of Sicilia DOC Interview with Alberto Tasca.
That's Swordfish Messina-Style adapted from Giorgio Locatelli's "Made in Sicily" cookbook, also posted online here. Because online recipes sometimes, disappear, I am including my ingredients and notes, based on Giorgio's recipe. For me, the star of this recipe is the sauce. Capers, olives, scallions, garlic, tomatoes all add up to a super flavorful combination. I'll be making the sauce as a pasta sauce in the future!
Serve the dish over pearl style cous-cous or orecchiette pasta would be nice, too.
In a large saucepan or saucier, heat 1 Tbsp EVOO over medium heat. Sear and brown the swordfish steaks on all sides, about 10 minutes total. Set the swordfish aside on a plate.
Add the olives, onion, scallions, garlic, capers, red pepper flakes and anchovy filets to the skillet and cook over medium heat until the onion is soft and translucent, about 10 minutes.
Add the white wine and scrape around the pan with a wooden spoon to deglaze and scrape up the food bits from the pan.
Lower the heat to a gentle simmer, cover, and cook for 30 minutes.
Prepare the cous-cous or pasta.
Raise the heat to a high simmer and place the swordfish steaks on top of the sauce. Cover and cook for 10 minutes.
Serve the sauce on the cous-cous, placing the swordfish on top, finally topping with the parsley-garlic mixture.
I've never tasted wine from Lipari but am going to ask about it at my local Italian shop. Your swordfish dish looks to-die-for as well. Cheers to island wines and the bounty of seafood to serve with them!
Thanks Lauren. So much to see and do and taste in Sicily and the little islands, too!
I rented a cottage on a family's farm in Lìpari for a week and was able to see them putting up a tomato harvest for the year. Truly amazing. As always, you have me hunting for wine, Jeff.
Thanks, Camilla! My only memories from Sicily are from SO long ago as a midshipman and only a brief visit. I do want to go and visit!
Jeff I'm glad you did the Castellaro! The Ossidiana was exactly what I was going to do but with my trip to Italy I fell short. However, I'm at vinitaly and have an appointment with them as I carry this wine and the NM in my store so I will let them know about your post! It's a pretty awesome wine and I get all warm and fuzzy when I think about all their wines!
Thanks, Marcia. I was so impressed with both wines, very cool you'll get to see them at Vinitaly!
I have always been intrigued by Lipari and it's sweet wines. You have shown me there is more there. Thanks for sharing. I must add, however, that the the "lemon furniture polish" could be an issue for some readers. LOL.
Thanks Steven. Lipari was a total unknown for me. As for the furniture polish, I have to call 'em as I see 'em!
Amazing pairings especially having the Tenuta di Castellaro Bianco Pomice IGT Siciliane red wine paired with the swordfish on cous-cous!
Thanks for the introduction to I Vigneri, which is new to me. Based on your description, it sounds like I'd really enjoy both of your wines. That swordfish dish looks killer! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
The wines you picked are just amazing, especially Blanco Pomice, its blend of Lipari Malvasia and Carricante makes it powerful yet surprisingly soft. Real Sicilian feature. Great post!
Thank you Walter! I was super impressed with both wines.
Both your wines are scores Jeff! I read extensively about the grape varieties on various Italian islands. Malvasia delle Lipari was one of them but I've yet to taste it. The I Vigneri is new for me, thanks for the intro, and a new recipe to add to the 'to make' list.
Thanks Lynn. Glad I could help, and the dish is well worth giving a try!
Not only do I have two more Italian Island wines I want to try after reading your article, but also a restaurant to visit next time I am in Minneapolis!
Both wines sound lovely. The swordfish dish sounds wonderful. How did it pair?
Are you dreaming in high gear now that it snowed again?!?
I can imagine The Sicilian sun on my face and I must say, I'm highly tempted.


So now that you have brand new replacement windows in your home, it's time to give them that touch of you that makes your home, well, your home. Brand new windows can do wonders for a room, but if you're the type who likes to add a little flair to your home you may be left with the feeling that they look just a little bit bare when installation is complete.
Not to worry, though, your new windows won't feel that way for long! All they need is a little touch of design to make them your own. And perhaps the best part, you're now working with brand-new, fresh windows that are sure to revitalize your home. At Window World of Connecticut we understand the desire to personalize your windows to match the rest of your home, which is why we've put together a few ideas for how you can dress up your windows.
This may seem obvious, but the options are truly endless when it comes to curtains. Long or short, solid or patterned, hung on a rod or covered by a valance — no matter what type you choose, curtains are a wonderful way to add an element of design to your window or to shade your room from harsh sunlight.
Think outside the blinds. A fun way to shade your room and dress up your window is with decorative, fabric shades that come in a variety of colors and styles. Whether you choose to tie them up with ribbon, or have a string to pull them up and down, decorative shades are not only a beautiful addition to any window, but they are also excellent at adding privacy and shade to any room.
You have beautiful new windows, now enjoy looking out of them! Whether you have a new bay window that naturally provides a good space for seating, or a simple double-hung window, adding a window seat is both aesthetically-pleasing and functional. Curl up with a cup of coffee, or a good book and enjoy the view from your new windows.
One fun way to really accentuate your new window is by adding shelving around it. Shelving around your new window is not only a unique element of design, but it also gives you added storage space for anything from books, to pictures, to knick-knacks. Shelving is a great opportunity to make your new window your own!
If a whole new shelving unit isn't exactly what you're looking for, display what you'd like right on your sill. Whether it's a place for your plants to get the light they need, or you simply want to display fresh cut flowers – adding small items to your windowsill can draw attention to your new window and give it that cozy design you want in your home.
Don't Have New Windows Yet?
You can still use these tips to refresh or revitalize your old windows in the meantime! And, if you're looking for a way to bring new light into your home, or are in need of superior energy-efficient windows, consider installing new replacement windows from Window World of Connecticut.

Frank Lentini, Geburtsname Francesco A. Lentini, (* 8. Juli 1889 in Rosolini in Siracusa; † 22. September 1966 in Jacksonville, Florida) war ein italoamerikanischer Sideshowdarsteller.

Leben
Frank Lentini wurde als Francesco A. Lentini in eine kinderreiche Familie hineingeboren. Als siamesischer Zwilling mit einem nur teilweise entwickelten parasitischen Bruder geboren hatte er drei verschieden lange Beine, einen rudimentären vierten Fuß und zwei Geschlechtsorgane. Seine leiblichen Eltern wollten ihn nicht aufziehen, eine Tante übernahm den Jungen und gab ihn in ein Heim für behinderte Kinder. Dort lernte er nicht nur das Gehen: Er konnte schließlich sogar rennen, springen, eislaufen und auf einem Fahrrad fahren. Bis zu einem Alter von sechs Jahren konnte Lentini mit dem dritten Bein im Stehen noch den Boden erreichen. Er konnte es zwar kontrollieren, aber nicht zum Gehen benutzen. Nach diesem Alter blieb es im Wachstum hinter seinem restlichen Körper zurück. Der vierte Fuß (an dem dritten Bein) war missgebildet.

Im Alter von acht oder neun Jahren verließ Lentini das Heim und gelangte in die USA, wo er eine Laufbahn als Sideshowstar begann. Laut seiner Autobiographie wurde er von seiner Familie begleitet. Sein Vater wollte vor dem Abschluss einer Ausbildung nicht in die Showkarriere des Sohnes einwilligen. Ob dieser Wunsch berücksichtigt wurde, ist nicht vermerkt.

Mit seinem zusätzlichen Bein einen Fußball über die Bühne zu schießen war Lentinis Bravourstück auf der Bühne, weshalb er als "The Three-Legged Football Player" vermarktet wurde. Lentini verkaufte seine kurze Autobiographie und Bilder von sich selbst und bezeichnete sich als den einzigen Menschen auf der Welt, der drei Beine, vier Füße, 16 Zehen und unterhalb der Hüfte zwei Körper habe. Eine angleichende Operation hätte laut Ärzten den Tod oder zumindest eine Lähmung Lentinis zur Folge gehabt. Lentinis Showkarriere dauerte mehrere Jahrzehnte und er trat in jedem größeren Zirkus und jeder bekannteren Sideshow in den USA auf, darunter etwa bei Barnum & Bailey.  1941 war Lentini auf Coney Island zu sehen.

Im Alter von 30 Jahren wurde Lentini US-amerikanischer Staatsbürger. Er heiratete eine Frau namens Theresa Murray und bekam mit ihr vier Kinder.

Nitin is a full time blogger and It's his passion for blogging that helps him present all unique happenings for viewers in his own words. Nitin's blog www.makingdifferent.com is all about publishing and marketing content on blogging, health, festivals, computing and many more topics.Both content creators and online businesses have been benefitted from this blog.
First of all, I would like to thankyou for inviting me here.
Myself, NitinMaheta. I hail from a small town in Gujarat, Rajkot. I am a middle-class guy with big dreams. I did work as a Manager in a Garments showroom before I entered into the blogging world. Currently, I am having few multi-niche blogs, but I started with MakingDifferent.com and now, I have another one, Top10RateList.com. Yes, at first, I thought that it will just remain one of my passions and I am not doing a great task as such, but I did manage to mould my simple passion into a big dream. And now, I do own my office in Rajkot itself.
How did you get your piece of cake, in this competitive world?
I started blogging as my passion in the year 2010 and at that time I was not that competitive one. And it was because only a few people knew about blogging at that time. Those who knew about it never took it as a full-time job because it is an online work. Even at that time, when we used to publish the content on our blogs, it used to get rank in Google easily and quickly. But now, blogging is becoming more like a mainstream profession and I am sure that in coming years, it would definitely be one of the best professions in India. At present, every day a new blogging is taking birth, but they don't have the experience which I gained all through these years. And I know how to get back to the position after failing.
Will iPhone 7 launch can boost apple's market share in India?
For any company to make sales for mobiles, it's important to provide the best and with something new. Now Apple iPhone 7 does provide the best of everything but the only thing it lacks it that there is nothing new. Even the previous generation iPhones are just as good as the new one so there is very less possibility of getting high sales number. There is no doubt that the new iPhone has two cameras but it's a not a thing anymore as other companies did that before Apple did.
Can Chromebook get the success in India with students?
Yes, it can definitely get success with students in India as it's a complete operating system with a solid infrastructure of being a laptop. Chromebook has the potential of providing everything a student need and even more. If Chromebook is provided with the right price then, students will see it as their first step in studies with technology. Other laptops are also good but they are made to be much more professional so Chromebook will be just perfect for students.
Is streaming services like Netflix work in India with poor internet speed?
It's not possible for any streaming service to survive with poor internet speed and Netflix is not different. But, with time India is also trying to have better internet speed so that more things can be digitized. Thus it's also the perfect time for Netflix to be in India as it'll have a head start. As India will move forward with better internet speed, Netflix will have an ease to provide its services to everyone.
There are few ways through which you can promote your content which includes Email marketing, participating in some up-vote and aggregate sites communities, through social media and by tweeting. And it is important to know the best possible times to post and publish the posts on your blog which can help the readers to know that at what time your blog offers them the new content.
Starting a blog seems easy, but maintaining it is quite difficult. How do you maintain your blogs?
I already told you people that I used to work in a Garments showroom which was a 12-hour job. At that time, it was difficult for me to maintain my blog. But, now I am a full-time blogger and it's not a big deal actually because I do have few writers who work for my blogs. I would say thanks to my team who help me through this because it wouldn't have been possible for maintaining my blogs single-handedly. You must know how to pace yourself and balance the blog-life. Always think big and don't forget to re-evaluate your blogging goals.
How much blogging has become a mainstream profession?
Blogging is growing at a rapid pace, but being an Indian I can say that it is not yet considered to be a full-time job. Yes, people do think that every online work is a part-time job and it's all because of the generation gap as well as the computer illiteracy. According to me, blogging is emerging as the mainstream media for the business brands and yes, soon it will become a mainstream profession too.
What are the golden rules of blogging that new bloggers should follow?
Being into the blogging era, every one of us has the interests to share and stories to tell. The best thing which every blogger should keep in mind in order to maintain his blog is the good content which can help in making the readers stick around it. I think that it is the best to work on a particular niche despite firing in all the directions. You must provide your readers with the fresh and regular content on your website. And avoid being fake in your words.

'China building aircraft hangars on disputed South Sea islands'
Satellite photographs taken in late July show China appears to have built reinforced aircraft hangars on its holdings in disputed South China Sea islands, a Washington-based research group said.
The hangars on Fiery Cross, Subi and Mischief Reefs in the Spratly islands have room for any fighter jet in the Chinese air force, the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) said in a report on the photographs.
The images have emerged about a month after an international court in The Hague ruled against China's claims in the resource-rich area, a decision rejected by Beijing (See: Tribunal rules against Beijing in South China Sea dispute). China claims most of the South China Sea, through which $5 trillion in ship-borne trade passes every year. The Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Taiwan and Brunei have overlapping claims.
The United States has urged China and other claimants not to militarize their holdings in the South China Sea.
CSIS said that apart from a brief visit to Fiery Cross Reef by a military transport plane earlier in the year, "there is no evidence that Beijing has deployed military aircraft to these outposts."
The rapid construction of the hangars, however, "indicates that this is likely to change."
A US defense official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said it was unlikely the hangers would be used for civilian purposes. "It's not like the hangers are for mail planes, they are likely for jets," the official said.
The official added, however, that the Chinese move was seen as skirting around the line rather than crossing it, and there would be increased concern if China actually moved in military aircraft and started using a reef as a forward operating base.
China has repeatedly denied doing so and has in turn criticized US patrols and exercises for ramping up tensions.
"China has indisputable sovereignty over the Spratly islands and nearby waters," China's defence ministry said in a faxed response to a request for comment on Tuesday.
"China has said many times, construction on the Spratly islands and reefs is multipurpose, mixed, and with the exception of necessary military defensive requirements, are more for serving all forms of civil needs."
The hangars all show signs of structural strengthening, CSIS said. The new images were first reported by The New York Times.
Other facilities including unidentified towers and hexagonal structures have also been built on the islets in recent months, CSIS said.
Ties around the region have been strained in the lead-up to and since The Hague ruling.
China has sent bombers and fighter jets on combat patrols near the contested South China Sea islands, state media reported on Saturday. Japan has complained about what it has said were multiple intrusions into its territorial waters around another group of islands in the East China Sea.


John embarked on a data migration project for the Yorkshire Film Archive (YFA). A Drupal 6 to Drupal 7 migration where the main migration tasks were performed by an migrate and the 2d2 module, both modules are object orented and allow high levels of customisation by extending existing classes. The main sticking issue with the migration was a free text field that was used to store dates, in total John found 58 different dates, using a testing framework he was able to identify new date formats every time the migration failed.
Creating cofig pages can be time consuming and repetitive the config pages module removes this repitition by adding a UI which uses Drupal core Field API to allow easy creation of stored configuration. Thie module essentially creates a configuration entity which means they can be used in views and any other enity API features including translation.


Will Djokovic win the US Open for a third time?
US Open predictions: Is Novak Djokovic the biggest threat to Rafael Nadal's trophy chances?
Djokovic is bidding to win his third U.S Open title and 14th overall Grand Slam title. "I was [trying] to give 100 percent, but he was playing very solid", Nishikori said. I'll try to prepare myself as best as I can. In the months that followed, he was briefly haunted by the old spectre of injuries again - he retired in Rome with a groin strain, withdrew from Queen's with an adductor injury and missed the Rogers Cup due a left wrist injury. But he said the support of his friends from his home in Argentina - many of whom sang and cheered loudly from a suite during the match - and the expertise of his doctors pulled him through his depression. "I'm sad for him". "Reaching finals, winning titles, having my highest ranking ever - everything is nearly ideal".
"This year have been a fantastic year until this moment", said Nadal.
The No 1-ranked Nadal has a history of tendinitis in his knees, and he's often cited that when withdrawing from tournaments.
"I thought in the important moments I came up with some good second serves, some good first serves". He hasn't yet played an opponent with a forehand or a serve as big as del Potro's, and the crowd will likely be against him.
But in the middle of the first, the trainer taped up his right knee.
Yeah, I waited as much as I can.
"I hate to retire", said Nadal who has endured a series of knee injuries throughout his career.
"I am going to keep fighting and working hard to keep enjoying this tour and keep having chances to compete at the highest level".
Nadal already had the admiration of tennis fans for his relentless approach and unyielding competitive spirit. He rose after a quick chat, shook the chair umpire's hand and then told Del Potro. He and Nadal have developed a respect for each other.
Nadal had won seven of nine against del Potro.
"I can't say that I am happy because I am not".
"Well, you see the friends who came to watch me?" I [had] been suffering a lot.


This little veggie mixture is one of those base recipes I use as freely as kids use ketchup. A spoonful livens up scrambled eggs, grilled cheese sandwiches, and in this case is a perfect topping for baked potatoes. I especially love them with the sweet potatoes. I'd planned on keeping mine vegan, and just using the mushroom-onion mixture, but alas, the bacon and cheddar cheese proved to be too tempting. Better luck next time, I suppose!
Heat a 10-inch (25 cm) skillet over medium-high heat. Drizzle in enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Add the mushrooms, and season with salt and pepper. Sauté for 5 minutes, until they begin to release some water. Add the onions, and season again with salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook for 10 more minutes, until the onions are tender. Deglaze with a splash of vermouth, if you like, scraping the browned bits from the bottom of the pan (or you can use a bit of water). Cook for 2 more minutes. Use immediately, or store in a covered container in the fridge, and use as you like.

I would like to be able to use RGB as a default parameter in a function.
At the moment, the compiler gives an error.
Yes, go with the global variable instead, that should work for the future too.
or try -1 as default, and add some code?
Would probably be the best way.
In the next version, it might work.

Immuno-Ophthalmology Our main interests at the moment include cross-talks between inflammasomes, autophagy, mitochondria, and ER. These studies aim at drug development, and we are testing potential compounds that could rejuvenate the functionality of cells playing a major role in certain diseases. Our current clinical applications are mainly ocular diseases, such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), corneal disorders, and diabetic retinopathy (DR).
Ram Kannan Interests: Oxidative stress, Antioxidant defense, membrane transporters, mitochondrial function, retinal pigment epithelium, age-related macular degeneration, nanotherapy.
Ferrington Lab Our current research goals are to help define the molecular defects in retinal cells that are responsible for the pathology associated with AMD and the investigation of retinal proteasome. The proteasome proteolytic complex plays a fundamental role in processes essential for cell viability, such as cell cycle regulation, control of signal transduction and gene expression, and the degradation of oxidized and misfolded proteins. A recent focus of our lab has been to define conditions that provoke the upregulation of immunoproteasome in the central nervous system. Data derived from this experimental approach provide some indication that immunoproteasome's function goes beyond its well-defined role in immune surveillance.
Sinha Laboratory Our laboratory is interested in understanding the role of glia and glia-like cells (retinal pigmented epithelium) in ocular health and disease. We use genetically engineered mouse and spontaneous mutant rat models as tools to decipher functions of these cells in health and disease. The diseases we focus on are (1) Persistent Fetal Vasculature (PFV) and (2) Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD).
Mei Chen My research has been focused on the role of inflammation in the pathogenesis of retinal degenerative and angiogenic diseases, including age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy (DR) and Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP). Although AMD, DR and RP are not classical inflammatory diseases, inflammation is known to play an important role in the initiation and progression of the diseases. We aim to understand how inflammation contributes to the aetiology of these diseases and to identify targets for therapeutic intervention.
Arto Urtti The main research fields are drug delivery (controlled release, computational and cell-based methods for ADME research) and nanotechnology (biomaterial structures for drug and gene targeting and for 3D cell cultures).
Heli Skottman's Eye Group The main research aim for the group is to develop novel stem cell based tools for the corneal and retinal repair through cell transplantation and ophthalmic in vitro tissue models
Gennady Yegutkin ATP, adenosine, CD73, photoreceptors, diabetic retinopathy, inflammation. Ocular ATP and adenosine have emerged as important regulators of retinal function, neurovascular coupling and blood flow distribution. However, current knowledge of regulatory pathways governing the duration and magnitude of purinergic signaling in a healthy and diseased eye remains scattered. Our recent data provide evidence for selective haemorrhage-related shifts in purine homeostasis in diabetic retinopathy eyes from the generation of anti-inflammatory adenosine towards a pro-inflammatory and angiogenic ATP-regenerating phenotype. Identifying the exact mechanisms by which the extensive network of membrane-associated and soluble enzymes regulates ocular nucleotide and nucleoside concentrations and further translation of purine-converting enzymes as potential therapeutic targets in the treatment of proliferative retinopathies with vitreous haemorrhage and other vascular and degenerative eye diseases will be an area of intense interest in the future.
Antero Salminen Molecular Basis of Aging and Alzheimer's Disease
Marialaura Amadio Research Topic: biology of aging and retinal diseases. Cellular and molecular pharmacology, especially for the Nrf2 factor and the RNA-binding ELAV proteins' roles in physio-pathological contexts.
Pasi Tavi Group Heart muscle can grow during most of the lifespan and it has significant capability of adaptation and plasticity. An increase in the work load (preload and/or afterload) and activity (heart rate) control the growth and properties of the muscle cells. The triggers for the adaptation are believed to be changes in the activities of ion channels acting in concert with complex calcium signaling mechanisms of the cells. These mechanisms form the basis of the extreme plasticity of cardiac muscle. Cardiomyocyte plasticity is manifested especially well during cardiac organogenesis and during the development of cardiac failure.

Award Year: 2008 The effectiveness of many medical treatments and procedures remains unknown, despite concerns that the United States spends too much on ineffective care. Why has the federal government invested so very little in rigorous effectiveness research up to now? Co-PIs Alan S. Gerber, Ph.D. and Eric M. Patashnik, Ph.D., M.P.P. believe that the answer lies in the incentives built into our political system. Their project, Inadequate Medical Evidence: Political Incentives and the Prospects for Sustainable Reform, explores the lack of a strong policy response to the need for medical evidence. Drs. Gerber and Patashnik consider a range of factors, including the influence of health care providers and other special interests, lack of policy initiative, insufficient federal agency capacity, the limits of patient advocacy, and the silence of the wealthy and powerful. Results should provide fresh insights into the opportunities and challenges that emerge as the Obama Administration adopts comparative effectiveness research as a strategy for controlling U.S. health care spending by reducing ineffective care.
Alan S. Gerber is George C. and Dorothea S. Dilley Professor of Political Science, Director of the Yale Center for the Study of American Politics, resident fellow of the Institution for Social and Policy Studies at Yale University, and faculty research fellow in political economy at the National Bureau of Economic Research. His research focuses on the application of experimental methods and statistical analysis to the study of American politics. Gerber's research has been published in the leading journals in political science including the American Political Science Review, American Journal of Political Science, and the Journal of Politics, as well as the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science. An editor of the Quarterly Journal of Political Science, Gerber has also received various academic honors and awards, including the Heinz Eulau Award and was selected to be a fellow-in-residence at the Center for Advanced Studies in the Behavioral Sciences (2004-2005). Gerber, a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, graduated from Yale University and holds a Ph.D. in economics from MIT.

Annika Bengtzon är en fiktiv figur i en serie romaner av författarinnan Liza Marklund.

Annika Bengtzon som arbetar som journalist på Kvällspressen som figurerar i romanerna Sprängaren, Studio sex, Paradiset, Prime time, Den röda vargen, Nobels testamente, Livstid, En plats i solen, Du gamla du fria, Lyckliga gatan och Järnblod har uppenbara likheter med författarinnan. På omslagen är det Liza Marklund själv som figurerar. Bengtzon förekommer också kort i Jan Guillous bok Fienden inom oss, som är utgiven på Marklunds och Guillous förlag Piratförlaget.

Journalisten Annika Bengtzon, som kommer från Hälleforsnäs i Södermanland men nu bor på Kungsholmen i Stockholm, är en typisk kvinna mitt i karriären, som jonglerar man och barn samtidigt med känslorna inför de tuffa kollegorna på Kvällspressen. Hon jobbar som kriminalreporter och lyckas därför snubbla in i den ena farliga situationen efter den andra.

I boken Studio sex får man läsa i hennes dagbok hur hon blivit misshandlad av sin dåvarande pojkvän, så illa att hon tvingades döda honom i självförsvar.

Böckerna
Bokserien om journalisten Annika Bengtzon är inte skriven i samma tidsmässiga ordning som händelserna utspelas i Annikas liv. Vill man läsa dem i kronologisk ordning gäller följande:

 Studio sex (1999) – som utspelar sig åtta år före Sprängaren.
 Paradiset (2000) – en direkt fortsättning på Studio sex.
 Prime time (2002) – tidsmässigt mellan Paradiset och Sprängaren
 Sprängaren (1998)
 Den röda vargen (2003) – en fristående roman som tar vid där Sprängaren slutade.
 Nobels testamente (2006) – fristående fortsättning på Den röda vargen.
 Livstid (2007) – en direkt fortsättning på Nobels testamente.
 En plats i solen (2008) – en fortsättning på Livstid.
 Du gamla du fria (2011) – en fortsättning på En plats i solen.
 Lyckliga gatan (2013) – en fortsättning på Du gamla du fria.
 Järnblod (2015) – en fortsättning på Lyckliga gatan.

Filmatiseringar
Under början av 2000-talet gjorde man filmatiseringar på två av böckerna: Sprängaren och Paradiset.
Där gestaltats hon av Helena Bergström i regi av Colin Nutley. Hösten 2009 meddelades det att man skulle göra filmatiseringar på de sex resterande böckerna och den 18 augusti 2010 presenterades det att skådespelaren Malin Crépin fått huvudrollen som Annika Bengtzon. Den 2 mars gick den första filmen i sviten, Nobels testamente, upp på bio, och släpptes på DVD den 20 juni. Resterande filmer släpptes på dvd under juli och augusti 2012.

Fristående filmer
De två filmatiseringarna som gjordes år 2001 respektive 2003 (Sprängaren och Paradiset) var helt fristående och inte gjorda för någon slags serieproduktion när de kom. I dessa två filmer hade Helena Bergström huvudrollen som Annika Bengtzon och i resterande roller sågs bland andra Niklas Hjulström (som Annikas make Thomas Samuelsson), Örjan Ramberg (som Anders Schyman) och Reine Brynolfsson (som Annikas chef Spiken). Noterbart är att handlingen i Paradiset utspelar sig före handlingen i Sprängaren, trots att man filmatiserade Sprängaren först.

Filmserien
År 2010 och 2011 började man spela in filmer på de sex resterande böckerna om Annika Bengtzon. Den här gången gjorde man det som en serie och släpper därmed alla sex filmerna med kort varsel, under juni-augusti 2012. Rollen som Annika Bengtzon spelas denna gång av Malin Crépin istället för Helena Bergström, vilket också gör att alla andra karaktärer som är återkommande i böckerna spelas av andra skådespelare än de som spelade dessa i Sprängaren respektive Paradiset. Den första filmen i sviten, Nobels testamente, gick först upp på bio i mars 2012 och släpptes på DVD i juni samma år.

Between parenting websites, mom blogs, social networking sites, even Twitter, there is certainly an abundance of parenting information available. The network of parents online, especially moms, is growing exponentially each day and this burgeoning global community provides an endless and vast resource for information on raising kids.
But with the surfeit of information comes the likelihood of information overload. There are so many millions of sites to search on, it can be overwhelming to sift through site after site, page after page, to find the right information. And, most people don't have time to sit and surf the Internet all day. So, what's a parent to do? Enter Facebook Fan Pages. The simplicity of a Facebook Page related to parenting can be a boon to the time-deficient parent who just craves continually updated information that is easily digestible and in one place.
Targeted specifically for city moms and dads, Stroller Traffic's website provides insight and tips on navigating through the world of parenthood, while navigating through the busy streets of a metropolis. Stroller Traffic's Facebook Fan Page however, is not as city-specific and provides a nice blend of newsworthy items and product recommendations.
The NAEYC is an important national organization that focuses solely on early childhood education. By providing an informative Facebook Page that keeps followers updated on national initiatives, parents can also find out about regional affiliates to find more information about local and state programs. In addition, parents can receive updates on how key initiatives for children and families are progressing through Congress.
As the name implies, The Average Parent is aimed at the everyday mom and dad who is seeking information on things that matter on a daily basis, like time- and cost-saving tips, special deals and kid-friendly establishments. Created solely as a Facebook Fan Page, The Average Parent is updated regularly with original content, as well as with content aggregated from other sources.
Mamaista recently launched its website and is a self-dubbed 'Daily Candy' for moms because of its daily email newsletter that contains information about the coolest, trendiest and latest baby and kid gear. The Fan Page also interweaves its product picks with news-of-note related to kids and parenting. I'm always looking for tips on kid gear, so if other parents seek the same, this product-driven fan page is a good choice.
KidsHealth provides parents with information pertaining to physical, emotional and behavioral health for kids. Whether it's a news alert about an FDA recall or advice or offering simple facts about the H1N1 virus, this Fan Page is a comprehensive resource for a wide variety of children's health issues.
As one of the U.S.'s most widely-read parenting magazine, Parents is a traditional print publication that has a solid presence on Facebook. The content is updated regularly and oftentimes links to features from the magazine itself. Becoming a fan of the Page enables users to get a taste of the current issue's content, without having to pay the annual subscription fee.
Cool Mom Picks has a massive following online and is considered to be one of the veteran websites geared specifically for moms. As they claim, they really do "scour" the Internet for anything and everything child-related and find a lot of unique products and gift ideas that you won't find in your local Toys 'R Us.
Of all the Facebook Fan Pages included in this post, 'Being a Mom' has the largest number of fans, tallying in at over 408,000. With this large of a community, there is always information being tossed around and I found this Fan Page to have very active discussion boards on a host of different parenting topics.
Abandon all color palettes that contain pink and blue for your nurseries and become a fan of Ohdeedoh. This design site for parents with kids calls itself "a site for people who care about good design, but happen to have children." The site's Fan Page is laden with design tips, kids' room makeovers and bits of information that will heighten your creative aesthetic and think beyond the confines of the pink and blue box. Although it is not updated nearly as frequently as the other pages, there is still a lot of helpful content for the design-challenged parent.
Trekaroo is geared towards families and their shared travel experiences. Relying solely upon community-driven content, parents can bypass the marketing-speak from hotels/resorts/theme parks about "kid-friendliness" and hear first-hand from parents who have been there themselves. Page updates include tips for traveling with kids and travel experiences from pick cities.
CafeMom is another wildly popular website and claims to have the largest network of moms online with over seven million unique users (not to mention, one of its founders is Andrew Shue from Melrose Place fame). Even though there's no sight of him on the Facebook Page, what they do offer is a resource that is populated with daily 'hot topics' to make it a highly interactive page.
MomCentral is a great resource that has a wealth of ideas for household and parenting, but does so with decreasing household budgets in mind. A lot of the features and discussions are geared towards saving money, saving time and saving the environment. With a recurring topic entitled, "Mom Central Goes Green," resourceful and good tips are included for managing a household in an eco-friendly way.
