Optical Express Is On The Ball With iScan Advanced Eye Care Report
Television presenter Carol Smillie has told how she feels like "the bionic woman" after undergoing life-changing lens replacement surgery.
The businesswoman and TV personality had all laser natural lens replacement at Optical Express after becoming fed up of constantly juggling pairs of reading glasses and not being able to enjoy television properly.
Now Carol has spoken of how the procedure has transformed her life, enabling her to easily read small print formats where before she had struggled.
She said: "I feel incredible, somewhere between the bionic woman and a sheer miracle! One of the things which hammered it home was sitting with my 19-year-old daughter on the night of the second operation and being able to read her texts. Although I didn't tell her that, obviously!
"The whole procedure was so quick and painless, and the effects, even more so, in fact the morning after my first eye was done, I was brushing my teeth and looked into the bathroom cabinet and was suddenly able to read the writing on the medicine bottles. These used to be the bane of my life because the writing is so miniscule. It was just one eye at that stage but it was like a rebirth.
"I ran downstairs and said to my kids 'give me something to read' and my daughter shoved the Weetabix box under my eyes and said 'what are the contents'! The only downside? I can now see the areas in the house that need dusted."
Carol began to think about her eyesight when she had to have a separate prescription for reading and distance glasses.
"It was annoying because I had pairs of glasses everywhere – in the car, beside the computer etc. The font on my phone was also getting embarrassingly large. I then had to get a separate prescription for distance and watching television because the detail on people's faces wasn't quite there."
She decided to investigate replacement lens surgery after an eye surgeon she had been interviewing for a TV programme suggested she might be suitable. "Then I was at a dinner for Netball Scotland and a woman on the same table had had it done a couple of weeks before and was absolutely evangelical about it," said Carol. "So it was a real affirmation to me that there was nothing to be afraid of and her life had very clearly been turned around by it… and I thought 'what are you waiting for!'"
All laser lens replacement surgery involves removing the natural lens and placing a new lens into the eye, correcting vision much like a contact lens. But the lens remains in the eye, eliminating the inconvenience of frequent removal.
Carol had her first eye procedure at UK eye care leader Optical Express's state of the art clinic in Glasgow and then followed up with the second eye 1 week later.
She said: "I had never heard of lens replacement previously. I was also surprised that it was such a short, quick process not requiring a general anaesthetic, a stay in hospital or any of the things I assumed must surely be involved.
"The Optical Express team were also very calm and reassuring. I am the biggest wuss on the planet but it wasn't painful at all. There was a mild grittiness in your eyes for a few days afterwards but that's all and it doesn't last.
"The whole thing was very smooth. I had the first eye done at 2.30pm, I was home by 4.30pm and had the eye patch off by 7.30pm. I had a little bit of redness in my eye, but I've had that when flying, and it went down after three days."
Now Carol is looking forward to utilising her new sight professionally as a presenter and as a holidaymaker on the beach.
"Autocue is always quite big, so I never struggled with that. But any professional person would always have a back-up paper copy and that's when I could have become unstuck," she said. "I would have to have a pair of glasses and a printed script for if it went wrong… thankfully that never happened. It would have been slightly unprofessional scrabbling around with a pair glasses when you're trying to find where in the script you are.
"I'm also looking forward to going on holiday without packing the bifocal sunglasses! They cost me a fortune, because I wanted nice ones which were big enough for reading in the sun… I was so reliant on them. If I left the house without them my day would be ruined. "I've also had the situation of wearing reading glasses with sunglasses on top… that's a really humiliating moment when you look like some crazy, mad old woman on the beach. No longer!"
Carol added: "I live and work in an industry where people will have Botox, and have their lips done and God-knows what else, that's not for me. Your eyesight is your most important faculty, now I've had my teeth straightened and my vision corrected and that's enough for me.
"Friends and family are genuinely fascinated, but so many just don't like the idea of someone touching their eyes, especially under local anaesthetic. My response is always that if someone talked you through the basics of childbirth, nobody would do it!"
David Teenan, Carol's surgeon at Optical Express, said: "We were pleased to treat Carol and delighted she's so happy with the results. Natural lens replacement is an increasingly popular treatment using femtosecond laser.
"More and more people now choose Natural Lens Replacement for improved quality of life. This sophisticated lens can now be customised to the exact shape and size of each eye and the added benefit is that you can never develop cataracts after this procedure. It's one of the quickest surgical procedures, with many people returning to their usual daily routine within 24 hours."
In addition to her treatment, as part of her consultation process, Carol was one of the first patients to benefit from a revolutionary new examination system called iScan.
The iScan advanced eye care report is a detailed series of diagnostic tests and prescription analysis which is the first of its kind within the industry. In addition to setting new clinical standards throughout the optical sector iScan and improving patient care it also acts as an early warning system by detecting both visual and general health conditions, many of which can be life threatening if left undiagnosed.
Carol added: "I was quite blown away by the number of machines and the procedures which went into every conceivable part of my eye to check what exactly was going on in there. It was quite mind-blowing and very reassuring that the margins for error were virtually nil.
"The iScan report was so impressive. It's clearly a very comprehensive break-down of what's going on in your eyes."

Shopping for an anti-aging skin care product can feel like hit-or-miss experience. With so many choices, it can be difficult to know which products to choose. These dermatologists' tips can help you shop with confidence.
Start with sunscreen and moisturizer: Dermatologists agree that sunscreen and moisturizer are the two most-effective anti-aging products you can buy. Using these every day can make a noticeable difference.
An anti-aging moisturizer helps to minimize fine lines. It is so effective that moisturizer is the secret ingredient in many anti-aging products.
Using a moisturizer with sunscreen is fine. Just be sure that the product offers broad-spectrum coverage and an SPF of 30 or higher.
If you will spend time outdoors during the day, you should apply a sunscreen that offers broad-spectrum protection, SPF 30 (or higher), and water resistance. Be sure to reapply your sunscreen every two hours while outdoors.
Treat your #1 aging-skin concern: Give sunscreen and moisturizer a few weeks to work. Then look at your skin. Is there still a sign of aging that bothers you?
Buy a product formulated for your skin type: Your sunscreen, moisturizer, and other anti-aging skin care products will work best if they are formulated for your skin type. For example, if your skin tends to be oily, select a moisturizer made for oily skin. If you have sensitive skin, you want to see the words "sensitive skin" on the label.
Have realistic expectations: Exaggerated promises, such as look 10 years younger overnight or quickly reduces all signs of aging, are too good to be true. It's important to remember that anti-aging skin care products deliver modest results. You cannot get the results of a facelift from a cream.
Select a product within your price range: It's human nature to think that the more expensive the product, the better the results. Effective anti-aging products come in all price ranges.
Once you've selected a product, you can maximize its effectiveness by following tips that dermatologists share with their patients.

Boeing delays test flight of Starliner crew spacecraft for at least two months after valve problems
AJRD
Boeing's Starliner capsule sits on to an Atlas V rocket on the launchpad before the launch of the OFT-2 mission.
Boeing's second uncrewed flight test of its Starliner spacecraft is delayed for at least two months due to issues with the capsule's propulsion valves, the company said Friday.
The latest mission – called Orbital Flight Test 2, or OFT-2 – was previously targeting December 2020, but Boeing delayed the launch multiple times, with Aug. 3 the most recent target. During preparations on launch day, Boeing discovered that 13 propulsion system valves were not opening on the spacecraft, causing the company to delay the launch.
While the company's engineers restored functionality in nine of the 13 valves over the past week and a half, Boeing Vice President John Vollmer said the team "exhausted every possible option" to repair Starliner while the capsule was on top of the rocket – necessitating a return to the company's processing facility for further investigation.
Vollmer said Boeing is working with Aerojet Rocketdyne, which manufactured the valves, to identify the exact cause of the problems and analyze possible preventative measures or redesigns.
The additional work means Boeing will not have an opportunity to launch OFT-2 this month, NASA Commercial Crew program manager Steve Stich told reporters, and is delayed "definitely on the other side" of an agency mission planned for mid-October.
The announcement of the OFT-2 delay comes about 19 months after Boeing's first flight test went awry.
OFT-2 represents a redo of Boeing's first uncrewed flight test in December 2019. That first Starliner mission was cut short when, after a successful launch, the spacecraft's flight control system misfired and the capsule did not make it to the International Space Station as planned. While Boeing was able to conduct tests of many parts of Starliner during the shortened flight, NASA declared the flight test a "close call," saying the spacecraft could have been lost twice during the mission.
The company has made dozens of changes after an investigation alongside NASA. Additionally, Boeing is covering the cost of OFT-2, having set aside $410 million shortly after the first flight test. Vollmer on Friday said he was not sure how much the delay and additional work will cost Boeing.
Competing with SpaceX
Boeing developed Starliner under NASA's Commercial Crew program, which the space agency began in 2010 as the Space Shuttle was retired. The goal of the program was to get private sector companies to produce the most cost-effective, innovative and safe way to get astronauts to and from the International Space Station.
The program was structured as a multitiered competition, with companies bidding for NASA contracts to build the space transportation systems under specific parameters set forth by the agency. NASA eventually awarded the contracts to SpaceX and Boeing, with the latter aerospace contractor winning nearly $5 billion to develop Starliner.
Starliner is built to carry as many as five people to the International Space Station, and launches on an Atlas V rocket — built and operated by United Launch Alliance, a joint venture of Boeing and Lockheed Martin.
For nearly a decade, SpaceX and Boeing have been neck and neck, building and testing their crew transportation systems. But SpaceX's successful launch of astronauts in May 2020 marked a major milestone for the company, leaving Boeing to play catch-up. SpaceX's launch was the first time that NASA astronauts took off from U.S. soil since 2011 and the first time a commercially built spacecraft carried NASA astronauts.
Since then, SpaceX has flown two astronaut missions for NASA with its Crew Dragon capsules and has carried 10 people to space safely in total. Elon Musk's company has two more crewed launches planned for this fall, with the private Inspiration4 mission and then Crew-3 mission for NASA.

Home News Women closing gender gap in state pension but Pension Credit still underclaimed
Women closing gender gap in state pension but Pension Credit still underclaimed
by wrich February 18, 2022
There were 12.5m people receiving the state pension in August 2021. Of these, 2.2m received the new state pension.
The introduction of the new state pension in 2016 has evened out the gender gap with women on average receiving £164.74 per week compared to £170.50 for men.
Women on the basic state pension on average receive £145.87 compared to £172.64.
Far more women than men receive Pension Credit – they account for around 930,000 of the current 1.4m caseload.
The number of people receiving Pension Credit has decreased since last year. This is due to factors such as the rising state pension age and the introduction of the new state pension.
Only around six in ten people eligible for Pension Credit claim it.
Today DWP published its quarterly benefits statistics DWP benefits statistics: February 2022 – GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
"The introduction of the new state pension is good news for women retiring today as they close the gender gap in terms of how much they are receiving. The state pension is the bedrock of people's retirement planning and it is hugely positive to see women able to claim more. Over time, in partnership with auto-enrolment, we will see more women building a resilient financial future for themselves in retirement.
However, the comparison with women receiving the basic state pension is stark – on average they are getting almost £20 per week less than those on the new version. Over the course of a retirement this adds up to thousands of pounds less and this will have an impact on your standard of living, particularly if you don't have much in the way of other assets to rely on. Many of these women will be eligible to claim Pension Credit and this can be shown in that around two-thirds of claimants are women.
Pension Credit is a hugely important benefit and can top up your income to £177.10 per week if you are single or £270.30 if you are part of a couple. It also acts as a valuable gateway to other benefits such as help with bills and NHS costs. If you are over 75 you will also get a free TV licence. However, it remains a hugely underclaimed benefit – only around 60% of those who can claim it do and they are potentially missing out on thousands of pounds of much needed money. This is particularly important at a time when the cost of living is rising so sharply.
You can still be eligible for Pension Credit if you have some savings or own your own home. Anyone who thinks they might be eligible should go to Pension Credit: How to claim – GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) or call 0800 99 1234 for more information."

Area 51 is the popular name of a secret military facility at Groom Lake, Nevada, approximately 90 miles north of Las Vegas. The 6-by-10 mile rectangular air base lies within the Switzerland-sized boundaries of Nellis Air Force Base, and has served as a testing ground for "black budget" (top-secret) military prototype aircraft since the mid-1950s. Area 51 is also a well-known folk symbol of an assumed government conspiracy to cover up information on UFOs and extraterrestrial life.
The United States government has never publicly discussed the existence or purpose of the Groom Lake base, but historical accounts chronicle the site's long history as a preliminary testing ground for the U.S. military's most secret aircraft. The U-2 Spy plane, A-12 and SR-71 Blackbird supersonic reconnaissance jets, and F-117A and B-2 Stealth fighters were all tested at the site before production, as was a reverse-engineered version of a Vietnam War-era Russian MIG-21. Development and testing of secret military aircraft and Unmanned Arial Vehicles (UAVs) likely continues at Area 51 today.
The secrecy surrounding Groom Lake has piqued public interest since 1955, when the Central Intelligence Agency and Lockheed Skunk Works chose the remote desert area as a testing ground for the U-2. President Eisenhower signed Executive Order 10633 to restrict a rectangle of airspace over the base that year, and the Department of the Interior withdrew a 60-square-mile rectangle of land beneath the airspace from public use in 1958. Today, the so-called "Groom box" includes a 22-by-20 nautical mile rectangle of restricted airspace, the original 60 square mile base, and a large area of surrounding land with enforced public entry and viewing restrictions.
The present popular fascination with Area 51 bloomed in 1989 when KLAS-TV in Las Vegas broadcast a series of interviews with Robert Lazar, a self-proclaimed aerospace engineer who maintained that he had been hired to help reverse-engineer an alien spacecraft at the Papoose Lake facility near Groom Lake. Lazar asserted that the United States government had recovered a downed extraterrestrial spacecraft and stored it in an underground bunker at Area 51. Lazar's bizarre story elicited support from the community of UFO and alien conspiracy theorists based in Roswell, New Mexico, and ignited public curiosity. The April 1994 issue of Popular Science magazine carried a satellite image of Groom Lake on its cover and featured an in-depth article on the military history of the facility. Since then, Area 51 has become a science-fiction staple. The site played a role in several episodes of the FOX television's popular series "The X-Files" and was featured in the 1996 movie "Independence Day." Though the United States military often collaborates with the entertainment industry, it has never sanctioned a project involving Area 51.

A few years ago, after taking a well-deserved golf vacation in sunny Myrtle Beach, South Carolina with some great friends – I maxed out my Tax Free Savings Account (TFSA) for that calendar year.
I did so because, after talking to my friends on this trip, I told them this was my preference and my big money goal for that year. They were supportive of that. They know all about the never-ending TFSA vs. RRSP debate; they are smart money guys.
My position on this subject was rather simple – I prefer to maximize my TFSA before focusing on my RRSP because of the present day and long-term tax (free) benefits of that contribution.
First of all, I want to say I'm a huge believer in savings for long-term investment purposes. This site is dedicated to that stuff. In this light I think both accounts work: TFSAs and RRSPs are excellent vehicles for long-term wealth creation. TFSAs can be self-directed investing accounts don't you know – they don't have to be a savings account. Heck, screw the debate and max out both accounts if you can! That's a tall order though…which brings me to this.
You do not receive any tax-deduction from a TFSA contribution; TFSA contributions are made with after-tax dollars.
Any income or gains earned inside your TFSA (from interest, dividends or capital gains) are tax-free as the name of the account suggests.
Any withdrawals from your TFSA are not taxable to you. If you make a withdrawal from your TFSA that amount will be added to the following year's contribution room.
As soon as you're 18 years of age or older, you can have a TFSA. There is no age maximum for this account – you can own one (or many TFSA accounts) as long as you live.
TFSA withdrawals are not counted as income.
Phenomenal stuff right? Yeah, I think so.
Contributions to your RRSP are not counted as income; RRSP contributions receive a tax deduction to reduce taxes payable.
Any income or gains earned inside your RRSP can grow tax-free until withdrawn.
Withdrawals from an RRSP are taxable to you. They will be taxed as income regardless of source (from interest, dividends or capital gains) at your marginal tax rate.
You must convert your RRSP to a RRIF (then start withdrawing), buy an annuity or cash out this account in the year you turn 71. So there is an age maximum on this account.
If you decide to focus on your RRSP, which is great, then you need to manage the RRSP-generated tax refund well – it's the linchpin in this debate.
The math says with all things being equal — particularly the tax bracket you're in when contributing to either account and the tax bracket you're in when withdrawing from either account — the RRSP and TFSA are a dead heat. The problem then becomes your behaviour. If you spend the RRSP-generated refund you're investing less than you think and you'll be taxed on all withdrawals.
If you put $300 per month into the RRSP for the year, that's a nice $3,600 contribution.
You'll get a $1,440 refund (40% of $3,600).
*Example for illustrative purposes; your marginal tax is amount of tax paid on an additional dollar of income. As income rises, so does the tax rate. This is different than a flat tax rate where you would expect to pay the same tax regardless of what your income is.
When your $1,440 cheque arrives, you decide to spend it on a trip to Cuba to escape our long, cold-winter. (I've been to Cuba it's very nice.) When you do that however just know this $1,440 refund is effectively borrowed money – a long-term loan from the government they are going to come back for.
If you always spend your refund you are undermining the effectiveness of RRSPs because you are giving up your loan for tax-deferred growth. A refund associated with your RRSP contribution should not be considered a financial windfall but present value of a future tax payment you must make.
Reinvest it back into your RRSP (great bang for your buck).
Pay down your mortgage (a guaranteed rate of return on debt + interest).
Contribute the RRSP-generated refund to fund your TFSA contribution.
With a maxed out TFSA account every year I've already taken one of these decisions out of the equation. I've pretty much determined I either 1) reinvest the money back into the RRSP or 2) pay down debt.
If you typically spend the bulk of your RRSP-generated "gift" consider prioritizing your TFSA over your RRSP because of the present day and long-term tax (free) benefits of that contribution. This is not the entire debate but a really important part of it.

34 Responses to "I'll continue to maximize my TFSA first because…"
I agree focus on the TFSA especially if you have a low income. For me I need to focus more on the TFSA and I picked up a part time job to help me with this and also help me increase my savings.
I think the TFSA is great for low-income, to stash cash if/when possible. I think the TFSA works for middle-income earners; they should always try and max it out. I think the TFSA works for high-income earners and those making good money ($100k) should strive to max out both accounts.
You seem to be determined Matthew – good luck on that savings rate.
I think the TSFA approach is the. You can invest it and your gain are tax free and can be withdraw without paying anything.
I think RRSP is good when the tsfa is max out or you when to use the RAP program to buy your first home.
As always thanks to writing your post, they are awesome to read.
I think the RRSP is great for higher-income earners but I still believe, given tax-free is better than most things, even high-income earners should strive to max this contribution room out. Thanks for the kind words about the site!
We used both of those vehicles. Plus RESP and RDSP. Just seemed like the smart thing to do at the time.
I have a stupid question about RRSP's. When contributing to an RRSP, that money is already after tax cash I'm using to invest. I get the refund on my income tax, but then I'm taxed again on withdrawal (maybe at a different tax rate as my income is lower). So does this initial principle not essentially get taxed twice eventually? Maybe I'm not fully understanding this, but if this is the case, then the TFSA is definitely superior.
Getting the refund for the RRSP essentially converts it to being "untaxed". When you access it later and gets taxed, it merely restores the taxation. That is why how the refund is used is so important as Mark pointed out. The refund is never really yours so don't blow it.
I look at the RRSP-generated refund as a "government loan". Meaning, when you contribute to this account, you get a tax deduction at your current tax rate from our government for that contribution amount – and that government loan can grow tax-deferred until you withdraw money from the RRSP.
When you withdraw money from the RRSP, in retirement presumably, you might be taxed at a different rate vs. the rate of contribution (could be lower, could be same, could be higher). BUT – this is why I stress if you don't manage the RRSP deduction – you are essentially spending the government loan now and you'll have to pay the government back with your own money contributed to the account.
If you consistently spend the RRSP-refund money then with all things being equal the TFSA wins as a retirement account.
First or second is not really relevant if one is going to do both anyways. If one has to choose one over the other then several factors that come into play to determine which path to take and the importance of those factors vary from situation to situation. I too wish TFSAs had been around in my early earning years but knowing myself I would have availed myself to both anyways.
I hear ya….ah well…it's a gift now!
Good review although I have a few comments.
I encourage people on both of these but individual circumstances will dictate which account now may be more of priority, or when in their savings lifetime that might change.
In principle you're right about the RRSP refund but I would frame it differently since your argument assumes the person is not going to make a RRSP contribution that year and spent the money on a trip. It doesn't matter what you do with the actual RRSP tax refund as long as you are maximizing or contributing at least the refund amount to your RRSP that available year, and repeating this pattern annually (the savings behaviour). The money can come from the refund, other savings or ongoing savings contributions. In any case it does not change the primary benefit of the RRSP for most people- reducing your tax bracket when you contribute, and having the tax sheltered principle and growth taxed at a lower rate upon withdrawal when your retirement income is likely lower (most people). Although a wise investor would utilize this refund money as soon as available whether to invest now (more compounding), pay off debt now (less interest), etc.
IMO, it's only partially correct to state the RRSP refund is a loan from government since most people are likely at a lower tax rate in retirement, either personally, or as a couple, with spousal contributions or possibly income splitting with pension(s). (Raises hand) Therefore they could gain the difference between the working income tax rate and retirement tax rate on their contributions through the years. Having said that no one knows for sure what tax rates will be into the future.
To me the real linch pins with both the RRSP and TFSA is to start early and avoid raiding these accounts before retirement to benefit from the most compounding time, and to also ensure you're suitably invested for the long term. If you can't get some decent gains in your TFSA (think .7% savings rate) the tax free part isn't worth much even over the long term. That's where the RRSP may have a behavioural advantage, since there is more of a disincentive to withdraw while working (unless you become un(der)employed) vs. the TFSA which everything I've read is commonly tapped for various spending (maybe that trip to Cuba) along the way to retirement, and is often used with low return investments. I would argue this might be an even worse issue to overcome also since there is no immediate tangible benefit to TFSA saving (ie.RRSP tax refund) or penalty to avoid tapping TFSA. In any case Canadians could do a lot better for both these accounts since only a fraction of the available room is utilized.
There are lots of other considerations of course.
Now that I'm retired I am using funds from RRSP withdrawals to contribute fully to TFSA's and hope to do this for many years to come.
I would agree for the most part. I think though if you're not reinvesting inside the RRSP, using the RRSP-refund to fund the TFSA, pay down debt then you're not managing the government loan well.
"Having said that no one knows for sure what tax rates will be into the future." Absolutely. This is why saving is always a good thing. Your health is always a wildcard and an unknown.
Great article and website Mark. I have been reading your website for a while now but never felt the need to leave a comment, well until now.
My wife and in I are in a very great financial position (considering we are in our early 30's). We always max out the TFSA's first and then deal with the RRSP contributions. TFSA contributions are always done on Jan 1. Its like a new years tradition for us.
Over the last couple months we have been doing some financial planning and a "financial adviser" told us we should stop contributing to RRSP's. The reasoning being that when we retire the RRSP will have grown to a very large amount, and we will essentially be in the same tax bracket we are in now. I ran my own calculations and the "adviser" is correct in that we will be in the same tax bracket in retirement.
Sounds just like us in our thirties. Both had great jobs with fully indexed DB pensions in the future. We were also told that investing in RRSPs was going to end up costing us more than it saved. Against advice, we invested the max every year. Then at 39 DW was disabled with arthritis and other ailments and no longer working by 42. These RRSPs will be very helpful in the future. IMO, a person never knows what the future holds and having options is always good.
Ditto 🙂 See my comment to Chris.
Thanks for reading Chris. Always great to hear from readers, I learn from everyone (at least I try to).
The way I see it – unless you can predict the future – because you never know what's around the corner – having maxed out money in your TFSA and RRSP will provide you with some options down the road. What happens if there is a long-term disability? What happens if you lose your job? I'm not saying such things will happen (I hope they don't for you or me) but because the future is always cloudy – having money provides options for employment and your career.
Jokingly, I've always thought that having a tax problem, if that's your biggest issue in retirement, is a good problem to have. I still think that way.
In my early 40s now, our TFSAs are fully maxed, RRSPs are closed to maxed (just my wife's left) and I have a decent non-reg. account. The house will be paid off in hopefully 5 years. We also have combined 30+ years (16 years each) into pensions. We might decide to stop contributing to our RRSPs in a few years, or not, but at least by contributing to date we'll have the option to do so.
I hope that offers a perspective – but overall – it sounds like you're doing great. Kudos to you.
Hey Chris, I know the financial situation of only 4 people (all retired (31, 15, 13 and 12 years)) and only one is in a lower tax bracket now than she was while working. Unfortunately that is my wife. However, with the provision for sharing retirement income I have pushed her into a higher tax bracket and I have dropped into a lower one.
As your RSP grows It pays to take a hard look at that possibility.
I have some concerns about your calculations of the tax refund generated by a contribution to an RSP. "Consider working in the 40% tax bracket". I ran the numbers through a tax calculator (http://www.taxtips.ca/calculators/basic/basic-tax-calculator.htm) and here are the results.
Income: $250,000, tax payable: $97,191 (38.9%). Make a contribution of 3,600. Remaining taxable income $246,400. Tax payable: $95, 264. Tax refund: $1,927. I think it is a logical error to use the marginal tax rate for this type of calculation. Every dollar earned at or above the marginal tax rate is not taxed at 40%. Instead the tax burden on that dollar is distributed across all the tax brackets.
I'm not saying that the use of RSPs is bad, but expectations should be more realistic.
Or, maybe I'm missing something.
You're not missing anything John and I appreciate the details. My example was very simplistic. Your marginal tax rate is the percentage of tax applied to your income for each tax bracket in which you qualify. In essence, the marginal tax rate is the percentage taken from your next dollar of taxable income above a pre-defined income threshold.
So, back to your math, I have updated the post to clarify that your entire income is not taxed at your marginal tax rate – it's not a flat tax – but this examples was provided for illustrative purposes.
I maximize both my TFSA and RRSP yearly. Any refund from my RSP contribution is put back into my RSP. I've been doing this for years.
Smart Beth. From the experiences I've read from others, who are retired or who were able to retire young, most of them got there with a very high savings rate using RRSPs, taxable accounts or real estate investments. Having a maxed out TFSA and RRSP is likely a great route to go.
Your "real" marginal tax rate might be 60-75%+ for some of your income depending on the child allocation from Liberals, tax credit for childcare and many other programs.
When you have children, especially young children in daycare, RRSP contributions can be gold.
Good points…and interesting links. Thanks for sharing Cash.
I only use TFSA and non registered accounts.
I don't use of the RRSP because I don't want the government to dictate how I can use my wealth under the cover of a fake golden tax reduction carrot (since you pay them when you withdraw it).
The second main reason is that I want my wealth always being accessible so a RRSP is a double no-no.
Freedom has a cost, but I prefer to pay it.
Certainly RRSPs are not for everyone and as a tool they are more focused then a TFSA. But like any type of tool, if one does not know what it's for, and/or how to use it, they are probably better off not using it. Much like a "handyman" using a steak knife as a screwdriver to wire in an electrical box with the power on, you might get into trouble. They worked (and continue to work) very well for me.
I think not using the RRSP depends on your circumstances and as long as that is made via an informed decision – absolutely no problem with that!
Oh that the TFSA had been around years earlier. We followed all of the advice and maxed out our RSPs for years (the company policy of matching contributions encouraged that).
Now we are sitting on around $1m in RSPs and mandatory withdrawal requirements are on the horizon. I certainly earnt much more in working days and would have paid more taxes but the need to consider taxes is an issue that we could do without nowadays.
$1 M in RRSPs is a good problem to have Richard, but I can appreciate the tax headaches that come from that.

Manuel Braulio Canales López (né le  à Tolède et mort dans cette même ville en 1786) est un violoncelliste et un compositeur espagnol.

Biographie

On a peu d'éléments de connaissance de la vie de Manuel Canales. Les premières recherches sont dues à Julio Gómes, compositeur et musicologue, dans un article paru en 1912, à la suite de la découverte du volume de quatuors conservés à Tolède.

L'enfant est baptisé à Sancta Maria Magdalena trois jours après sa naissance, sous les prénoms de Manuel et Braulio par ses parents, Dámaso Canales et Antonia López Carnicero.

C'est en octobre 1756, à l'âge de neuf ans, à la cathédrale de Tolède, que débute la formation musicale du petit Manuel, sous la direction du maître Jaime Casella (1690-1764). Il est remarqué pour son talent au violoncelle et à la basse de viole. L'influence du violoncelliste Francesco Montali semble considérable. Montali a composé un grand nombre d'œuvres de musique de chambre à la maison d'Alba entre 1751 et 1759.

Il déménage à Madrid en 1770 pour travailler au service du Duc d'Albe. Ce séjour lui permet de découvrir la musique de chambre de Joseph Haydn et de Luigi Boccherini, influences qui transparaissent dans sa musique. Il est probable que le musicien ait découvert ce répertoire dans les Académie de Musique qu'il a fréquenté à Madrid. Dans les volumes conservés à la bibliothèque nationale de Madrid, on retrouve la musique de Canales aux côtés d'œuvres de Joseph Haydn, Antonín Kammel (1730-1788), Luigi Boccherini ou Karl Friedrich Abel, signe de la qualité qu'on prêtait à ses quatuors.

Julio Gómes émet l'hypothèse que Canales a étudié en Italie avant 1774, mais il n'y a aucune preuve pour l'instant.

Son protecteur, le Duc d'Albe meurt en 1776, ce qui semble le mettre dans une situation difficile. Il espère sans doute entrer aux services du Roi d'Espagne en lui dédiant son opus 3, mais en vain. Sans poste dans la capitale, en 1779, il retourne à Tolède et œuvre au sein de la cathédrale comme instrumentiste et compositeur de musique sacrée. Laïque, il se vit refuser par le chapitre la titularisation au poste de maître de chapelle, poste échu à Francisco Juncà (1742-1833).

Le Quatuor Canales est une formation de chambre nommée en hommage à Manuel Canales et dédiée à la redécouverte du répertoire. Elle est composée de Juan Llinares et Roberto Mendoza, violons, Luis Llácer, alto et lagoba Fanlo, violoncelle. Ces musiciens enseignent tous la musique au Conservatoire supérieur de Musique de Madrid. Ils ont par leurs recherches découvert des œuvres du Marquis Diego de Araciel (première moitié du ).

Œuvres

L'œuvre de chambre de Canales est la plus ancienne production espagnole connue et un chapitre essentiel pour la connaissance de la musique espagnole de l'époque.

Son style, influencé par Haydn et Boccherini, intègre cependant des éléments mélodiques et rythmiques issus de la musique populaire. La texture est délicate, les phrases sont généralement courtes et contrastées et la beauté des œuvres est originale. L'opus 3 est composé en respectant un équilibre des différentes voix. Cela montre l'assurance de la main d'un musicien expérimenté et connaissant la musique de chambre européenne. Des parallèles ont notamment été fait avec l'opus 9 de Haydn à propos de la structure (quatre mouvements, menuet en second) et de l'expression (usage fréquent de l'unisson).

On ne sait pour l'instant rien de son opus 2. Des recherches au fonds musical de la Bibliothèque Nationale de Madrid, encore peu étudié, devraient apporter la réponse.

Aucun documents ne permet de savoir ce qui a présidé à la publication de son opus 3 en Angleterre.

Il compose aussi quelques œuvres d'inspiration religieuses, des chants de Noël et des villancicos qui n'ont pas encore été localisées.

 Sources
La bibliothèque de Tolède possède le manuscrit complet de l'opus 1 et un autre incomplet (seules les parties de violons y figurent) à la Bibliothèque Nationale de Madrid. En revanche l'édition de l'opus 3 a bénéficié d'une plus large diffusion puisqu'on le retrouve, outre en Espagne, en Italie, aux États-Unis, en Angleterre.

Finally! Six years on from the first upload of the first 'tinkersong', a more polished version with an on-location video filmed in my beloved Isle of Man; a song that started off as me and Mike Meade (Boys Talk) trying to write something about a new love to assuage the hurt of a former love… A couple of years later I took the chorus and middle eight, slowed it down, and with a little tinkering on a piano keyboard for the first time, wrote the new verses for 'You Make Me Feel Better' – wistful and wishful thinking about a new love to make it all better!
Occasionally, over the years to be strummed on the guitar. It was the first video and original song I uploaded to the YouTube Channel – just me and a guitar, not quite what I had planned, yet the video did quite well. I always knew I'd want to do a proper version with a full instrumental backing. It has taken some time but here it is.
The video footage was filmed a couple of summers ago in the Isle of Man over two days (the Point of Ayre footage I'll save for another day). This is footage filmed with a tripod around Groudle Glen and Laxey; fortunately there was enough footage to go with the song when I sat down to do the edit.
The Isle of Man has always been a big part of my life, so good to capture some of its beauty. (Did feel a bit that it was the island I was singing about.) Friends' kindness there with a loan of a car to get around, and place to stay helping me realise this project.

Council proposes home STI testing after cuts to health budgets
A city council is consulting on plans to ask people to test themselves at home for sexually transmitted infections under proposals to save money from public health budgets.
Leicester city council has opened a public consultation to help develop plans to save much-needed cash on its sexual health services, which includes a proposal to get people using self-testing kits at home and posting them to a lab, before receiving the results over the phone.
It is one of the ways of helping the council run a more automated service, which will also allow people to book appointments online and have telephone consultations.
Currently, booking appointments online is only available for just a few of the services offered. By allowing people to also order testing kits online, this will reduce the amount of people going to clinics.
Other proposed changes include making condoms, testing kits, and pregnancy testing kits available in vending machines, spread over the city in easy to access venues.
Professional advice may also be available over the phone, if proposed changes are implemented.
The summary document accompanying the online public consultation states: "The current service already provides online booking of appointments and we have found that these are often booked up very quickly.
"We hope that increasing the number of online booking appointments available will reduce waiting times at the clinic and allow the sexual health service to plan staff availability and increase efficiency."
The supporting document also states that new technologies developed over the last five years means it is now easier than ever for individuals to take their own tests.
This service has already been trialled in Leicester and has found that many people actually prefer this type of testing, which is also already carried out in many areas nationwide.
Deputy city mayor Councillor Rory Palmer is one of many individuals to speak out about the government's cuts to local health services.
Speaking to the Leicester Mercury he said, "I have consistently criticised and opposed the Government's cuts to public health funding, which mean we have to look at different ways of running these services.
"By 2020, we'll see a 20 per cent drop in our public health grant from the government.
"In-year cuts for 2015/2016 equated to £1.6 million, with over £4 million in cuts to our public health budget by 2020.
"Giving people the option of quicker, more convenient ways of getting tested can help us to reduce costs, but it will be offered as an option, not as a replacement to other services."
The proposals in Leicester come less than a month after the Local Government Association warned that sexual health services are "at tipping point" after cuts to funding and increased demand.
According to the LGA, the government cuts to councils' public health budgets, reducing them by nearly 10 per cent, has left local authorities unable to keep up with demand for sexual health services.
The association called on the government to recognise the importance of improving sexual health by reversing the cuts, stating that it would be "extremely challenging" to maintain services at the current level, services which successfully saw STIs fall by 4 per cent in 2016.
Cllr Izzi Seccombe, Chairman of the LGA's Community Wellbeing Board said, "While it is encouraging that more and more people are taking their sexual health seriously, we are concerned that this increase in demand is creating capacity and resource issues for councils.
"The reduction in public health funding could compound problems and impact on councils' ability to meet demand and respond to unforeseen outbreaks.
"We cannot tackle this by stretching services even thinner."
Dr. Helen Munro, a member of the Faculty of Sexual and Reproductive Health and a locum consultant in sexual and reproductive health, echoed the LGA's concerns about cuts to services.
She said, "From our point of view we are having massive budget cuts and my concern is that young people won't have the same access for screenings and contraception.
"So, where we have seen rates come down, I'm worried they will come back up again, because we can't run all the services.
"Young people need services available close to where they hang out. If we can't run in all these places we have to make decisions and amalgamate services, and I know we're all concerned this will have a knock-on effect on STI rates and unplanned pregnancy.
"Short term views are being made by the government that will have a long-term effect."

Mezzo-Soprano Isabel Leonard Receives 6th Annual Beverly Sills Artist Award
by Gabrielle Sierra Mar. 04, 2011
Mezzo-soprano Isabel Leonard has been named the recipient of the sixth annual Beverly Sills Artist Award for young singers at the Metropolitan Opera. The $50,000 award, the largest of its kind in the United States, is designated for extraordinarily gifted singers between the ages of 25 and 40 who have already appeared in featured solo roles at the Met. The award, in honor of Beverly Sills, was established in 2006 by an endowment gift from Agnes Varis, a managing director on the Met board, and her husband, Karl Leichtman. Leonard was presented with the award at the Met today by Dr. Varis and Muffy Greenough, daughter of Beverly Sills.
The Sills Award was created to help further recipients' careers, including funding for voice lessons, vocal coaching, language lessons, related travel costs, and other professional assistance. Sills, who died on July 2, 2007, was well known as a supporter and friend to developing young artists, and this award continues her legacy as an advocate for rising singers. The 29-year-old Leonard is the sixth recipient of the award, following baritone Nathan Gunn in 2006, mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato in 2007, tenor Matthew Polenzani in 2008, bass John Relyea in 2009, and soprano Susanna Phillips in 2010.
"It is with my deepest respect and appreciation that I would like to thank Agnes Varis, Karl Leichtman, and the Metropolitan Opera for this award," Leonard said. "With this unexpected recognition comes great responsibility. The Beverly Sills Artist Award is synonymous with great American artistry, and to be a part of that compels and inspires me to work harder and achieve greater things. Although I never had the opportunity to meet Ms. Sills, I admire her reputation. She is known not only as a complete artist but as a complete person, bringing life to her music and music to her life. I hope I can also help to bring more joy and beauty to our world."
Dr. Varis added, "Isabel Leonard is such a wonderful young singer - her Dorabella in Così fan tutte earlier this season was simply delightful. I'm so pleased to contribute to her future with this award, and I look forward to hearing her at the Met for many seasons to come."
Leonard made her Met debut in 2007 as Stéphano in Gounod's Roméo et Juliette. She appeared to excellent reviews in subsequent seasons as Zerlina in Don Giovanni (2008), Cherubino in Le Nozze di Figaro (2009), and, in the current season, Dorabella in Così fan tutte. In the 2011-12 season, she will sing Zerlina in a new production of Don Giovanni by Tony Award winner Michael Grandage and make her house role debut as Rosina in IL Barbiere di Siviglia. She has sung principal roles in many high-profile international productions, including performances at the Vienna State Opera, Bavarian State Opera, Salzburg Festival, Paris Opera, Santa Fe Opera, and Opera Colorado. Her previous honors include the Licia Albanese-Puccini Foundation Award (2006) and the Marilyn Horne Foundation Award (2005), and she was among the winners of the Giulio Gari Competition in 2005.

Barlaam de Seminara (1290, Seminara - 1350, Gerace) va ser un monjo basilià, teòleg i matemàtic italià.

Va néixer probablement sobre l'any 1290 a Seminara. Quan era monjo basilià, adherent a l'Església Ortodoxa, Barlaam va ser protagonista d'una violenta polèmica contra els practicants dels mètodes ascètics i místics d'alguns monjos del mont Atos. Tals mètodes eren principalment els de l'hesicasme, que tenia un suport teòric en el palamisme. La disputa de Barlaam la va dur a terme directament amb Gregori Palamàs. La crítica feta per Barlaam a tal misticisme se centrava en la passivitat que aquells monjos practicaven. Concretament, Barlaam es burlà dels hesicastes tractant-los de practicants de l'onfaloscopia, és a dir, de mirar-se el melic. Va anar a Constantinoble amb el propòsit de provocar les dissensions entre els catòlics i els ortodoxos, i les seves idees van xocar amb les de Nicèfor Gregores. En les disputes públiques que es van celebrar, Gregores va vèncer el seu rival, i Barlaam es va retirar avergonyit a Tessalònica. Però ja tot l'afer va portar seriosos conflictes: Gregori Palamàs, que després va ser arquebisbe de Tessalònica, va abraçar la causa de Barlaam i es va enfrontar amb Gregori Acindí, en l'anomenada «controvèrsia dels palamites i els acindinites (seguidors d'Acindí)» que, com altres discussions religioses a l'Imperi Romà d'Orient, va adquirir caràcter polític.

Excomunicat pel patriarca de Constantinoble al Concili sobre hesicasme celebrat l'any 1341, passà aleshores a l'Església Catòlica a la ciutat de Gerace.

Barlaam també es va dedicar a les matemàtiques i va escriure en grec una Logística, obra en què explica les regles de càlcul amb nombres enters, fraccions genèriques i fraccions sexagesimals. Tal obra es va imprimir a Estrasburg el 1592 i a París el 1600 juntament amb la seva traducció en llatí.

Q: Full JSON Isn't Receiving on Django REST Framework Registration I have a Django REST Registration page with two additional boxes (first_name and last_name). The registration page works fine when I use the input boxes but when I try to do a POST to the Register page, I constantly get that the form is invalid. Upon inspection, it looks like only the first_name and last_name are in the cleaned_data, but the JSON I am posting through Postman looks like:
{
    "email": "test@test.com",
    "first_name": "test",
    "last_name": "test",
    "password1": "testtest",
    "password2": "testtest"
}
and it's not just Postman, I have also been trying the same thing in an Android app via Volley. I can't figure out why some of the JSON isn't going through.
Here is my views.py for the Register page:
from django.shortcuts import render, redirect
from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm
from django.contrib.auth import authenticate, login, models
from userauth.templates.registration.forms import RegistrationForm
from rest_framework.authtoken.models import Token
from django.views.decorators.csrf import csrf_exempt
from rest_framework.response import Response
from rest_framework.decorators import api_view, renderer_classes
from django.http import *

def index(request):
    return render(request, 'userauth/index.html')

@csrf_exempt
def register(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = RegistrationForm(request.POST)
        print(form.data)
        if form.is_valid():
            print('form valid')
            form.save()
            username = form.cleaned_data['email']
            password = form.cleaned_data['password1']
            user = authenticate(username=username, password=password)
            login(request, user)

            token = Token.objects.create(user=user)

            responseData = {
                'token': str(token),
            }

            return JsonResponse(responseData)
        else:
            print('form not valid')
            print(form.cleaned_data)
            raise Http404
    else:
        form = RegistrationForm()

    form = RegistrationForm()
    context = {'form' : form}
    return render(request, 'registration/register.html', context)

and here is my forms.py for the page where it's supposed to add the extra blanks:
from django import forms
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm

class RegistrationForm(UserCreationForm):
    email = forms.EmailField(required=True)

    class Meta:
        model = User
        fields = (
            'email',
            'first_name',
            'last_name',
            'password1',
            'password2'
        )

    def save(self, commit=True):
        user = super(RegistrationForm, self).save(commit=False)
        user.username = self.cleaned_data['email']
        user.first_name = self.cleaned_data['first_name']
        user.last_name = self.cleaned_data['last_name']
        user.email = self.cleaned_data['email']

        if commit:
            user.save()

        return user

Another weird thing... Sometimes, the Register page will work on Postman if I use their built in formatter:

but not when I'm using raw JSON:

Am I just formatting the JSON wrong? How does Postman format their POST requests? Any help is appreciated... Thanks

A: if you dont want to move to DRF you may try altering existing code as below
@csrf_exempt
def register(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form_data=json.loads(request.body)
        form = RegistrationForm(data=form_data)
        print(form.data)
        if form.is_valid():
          pass

Julia Roberts reportedly didn't attend her late half-sister Nancy Motes' memorial service, held in California, on Saturday.
Julia Roberts reportedly didn't attend her late half-sister's memorial service on Saturday.
The 46-year-old star had a "complex" relationship with Nancy Motes, who died from an apparent drug overdose last month and was nowhere to be seen at the ceremony held for her this weekend.
However, Glee star Jane Lynch and other co-workers were among the mourners at the service for Nancy, who was a production assistant on the Fox show, according to the MailOnline. Nancy reportedly resented Julia for her fame and success, and left a "ranting" note prior to her death allegedly claiming the actress had driven her to suicide. Nancy's fiancé John Dilbeck said: "Nancy was proud of Julia but she had severe abandonment issues. "She had a knee operation as a teen and piled on weight because she couldn't exercise. While her sister was the Pretty Woman, Nancy was an overweight, insecure teenager. Nancy was a tortured soul. She grew up in the shadow of a superstar as a sister and Julia's fame cast a cloud over her life. "
"Nancy adored Julia but she became increasingly resentful of the way Julia behaved towards her. In Nancy's mind Julia was a bully."
It was previously reported the August: Osage County star tried to make Nancy go to rehab to seek help for her addiction to drugs a few months prior to her death, but she "backed out" shortly before she was due to enter the facility.
A source said last month: "Julia is taking the death very hard. It's extremely difficult for her because it didn't have to happen."
