https://youtu.be/MvyRFtubFp4 Milk? (Food conspiracy documentary) Milk is about a basic food in our diet, a food so fundamental that its value for our health often goes unquestioned. Using engaging storytelling through endearing characters and beautiful visuals, this documentary aims to investigate the case for milk as a nutritious food. Is milk good for us or not? We interview prominent and compelling figures in this debate, ranging from government officials, industry experts, biologists, anti-milk activists, raw milk advocates and an endearing milk-loving dairy farmer in our quest to elucidate the matter and illuminate lesser-known arguments about milk. As recent food documentaries such as Food Inc, King Corn and Fresh have shown, our society has a complex relationship with our food that often goes unexamined, perhaps to our own detriment. The average person is increasingly socially and politically aware, hungry for knowledge and particularly eager to consume information that is presented in an entertaining manner and with a touch of humour. This documentary strives to deliver all of this and more, using strong characters to build a story. Key characters will be used to engage viewers in the human stories behind their views and for some, their extensive campaigns for change. The content will focus on Canada and North America, but will also make comparisons with other countries regarding attitudes towards milk consumption and dairy policies.

What is a good Braai Broodjie recipe
Spreadsheet Ranger replied to Spreadsheet Ranger's topic in General Chat
Okey this sounds pretty darn neat! I must have it. I will go to Food Lovers today and see if I can find some there. I thought it was a gimmick when I first heard about it by a guy drinking a cider whilst we were all around the open fire drinking beer, Olof and Morgan. This cider drinking dude might be on to something here. -

How our lives will change dramatically in 20 years.
Spreadsheet Ranger replied to Spreadsheet Ranger's topic in General Chat
This part was quite interesting to me and I think it is actually a possibility in out near future. -
The following points was taken from this Facebook Post by Udo Gollub Software will disrupt most traditional industries in the next 5-10 years. Uber is just a software tool, they don't own any cars, and are now the biggest taxi company in the world Airbnb is now the biggest hotel company in the world, although they don't own any properties. Artificial Intelligence: Computers become exponentially better in understanding the world. This year, a computer beat the best Go player in the world, 10 years earlier than expected. In the US, young lawyers already don't get jobs. Because of IBM Watson, you can get legal advice (so far for more or less basic stuff) within seconds, with 90% accuracy compared with 70% accuracy when done by humans. So if you study law, stop immediately. There will be 90% less lawyers in the future, only specialists will remain. Watson already helps nurses diagnosing cancer, 4 times more accurate than human nurses. Facebook now has a pattern recognition software that can recognize faces better than humans. In 2030, computers will become more intelligent than humans. Autonomous cars: In 2018 the first self driving cars will appear for the public. Around 2020, the complete industry will start to be disrupted. You don't want to own a car anymore. You will call a car with your phone, it will show up at your location and drive you to your destination. You will not need to park it, you only pay for the driven distance and can be productive while driving. Our kids will never get a driver's licence and will never own a car. It will change the cities, because we will need 90-95% less cars for that. We can transform former parking spaces into parks. 1.2 million people die each year in car accidents worldwide. We now have one accident every 60,000 miles (100,000 km), with autonomous driving that will drop to one accident in 6 million miles (10 million km). That will save a million lives each year. Most car companies will probably become bankrupt. Traditional car companies try the evolutionary approach and just build a better car, while tech companies (Tesla, Apple, Google) will do the revolutionary approach and build a computer on wheels. Many engineers from Volkswagen and Audi; are completely terrified of Tesla. Insurance companies will have massive trouble because without accidents, the insurance will become 100x cheaper. Their car insurance business model will disappear. Real estate will change. Because if you can work while you commute, people will move further away to live in a more beautiful neighborhood. Electric cars will become mainstream about 2020. Cities will be less noisy because all new cars will run on electricity. Electricity will become incredibly cheap and clean: Solar production has been on an exponential curve for 30 years, but you can now see the burgeoning impact. Last year, more solar energy was installed worldwide than fossil. Energy companies are desperately trying to limit access to the grid to prevent competition from home solar installations, but that can't last. Technology will take care of that strategy. With cheap electricity comes cheap and abundant water. Desalination of salt water now only needs 2kWh per cubic meter (@ 0.25 cents). We don't have scarce water in most places, we only have scarce drinking water. Imagine what will be possible if anyone can have as much clean water as he wants, for nearly no cost. Health: The Tricorder X price will be announced this year. There are companies who will build a medical device (called the "Tricorder" from Star Trek) that works with your phone, which takes your retina scan, your blood sample and you breath into it. It then analyses 54 biomarkers that will identify nearly any disease. It will be cheap, so in a few years everyone on this planet will have access to world class medical analysis, nearly for free. Goodbye, medical establishment. 3D printing: The price of the cheapest 3D printer came down from $18,000 to $400 within 10 years. In the same time, it became 100 times faster. All major shoe companies have already started 3D printing shoes. Some spare airplane parts are already 3D printed in remote airports. The space station now has a printer that eliminates the need for the large amount of spare parts they used to have in the past. At the end of this year, new smart phones will have 3D scanning possibilities. You can then 3D scan your feet and print your perfect shoe at home. In China, they already 3D printed and built a complete 6-storey office building. By 2027, 10% of everything that's being produced will be 3D printed. Business opportunities: If you think of a niche you want to go in, ask yourself: "in the future, do you think we will have that?" and if the answer is yes, how can you make that happen sooner? If it doesn't work with your phone, forget the idea. And any idea designed for success in the 20th century is doomed to failure in the 21st century. Work: 70-80% of jobs will disappear in the next 20 years. There will be a lot of new jobs, but it is not clear if there will be enough new jobs in such a small time. Agriculture: There will be a $100 agricultural robot in the future. Farmers in 3rd world countries can then become managers of their field instead of working all day on their fields. Aeroponics will need much less water. The first Petri dish produced veal, is now available and will be cheaper than cow produced veal in 2018. Right now, 30% of all agricultural surfaces is used for cows. Imagine if we don't need that space anymore. There are several startups who will bring insect protein to the market shortly. It contains more protein than meat. It will be labelled as "alternative protein source" (because most people still reject the idea of eating insects). There is an app called "moodies" which can already tell in which mood you're in. By 2020 there will be apps that can tell by your facial expressions, if you are lying. Imagine a political debate where it's being displayed when they're telling the truth and when they're not. Bitcoin may even become the default reserve currency ... Of the world! Longevity: Right now, the average life span increases by 3 months per year. Four years ago, the life span used to be 79 years, now it's 80 years. The increase itself is increasing and by 2036, there will be more than one year increase per year. So we all might live for a long long time, probably way more than 100. Education: The cheapest smart phones are already at $10 in Africa and Asia. By 2020, 70% of all humans will own a smart phone. That means, everyone has the same access to world class education. Every child can use Khan academy for everything a child needs to learn at school in First World countries. There have already been releases of software in Indonesia and soon there will be releases in Arabic, Suaheli and Chinese this summer. I can see enormous potential if we give the English app for free, so that children in Africa and everywhere else can become fluent in English and that could happen within half a year.

With the looming hard fork ahead. What exactly does this mean for me being a blockchain.info user? Will my bitcoins be safe? I see people keep mentioning that if you control your private keys (Which I do) then you will be unaffected, but somehow that answer doesnt do it for me. What actions will actually be required of me as a owner of my private keys after the 1st of August?

LONDON - A British man and his young daughter have gained international attention after being fined for selling lemonade outside. Andre Spicer said his 5-year-old daughter was left in tears after local council officers fined her 150 pounds ($195) for selling lemonade without a license near their home in London. The girl was selling home-made lemonade to fans attending the Lovebox festival when she was fined. Spicer wrote an article about the experience for the Daily Telegraph that gathered hundreds of comments and shares online. He said his daughter had loved the idea of setting up a lemonade stand near their home to cater to festival goers. "She just wanted to put a smile on people's faces. She was really proud of herself," he said, according to BBC News. Spicer said his daughter burst into tears when the local trading enforcement officers approached them, clinging to her father and telling him, "I've done a bad thing". Officials with the London borough of Tower Hamlets said Friday that the fine would be cancelled immediately. "We are very sorry that this has happened. We expect our enforcement officers to show common sense, and to use their powers sensibly. This clearly did not happen," the council said in a statement.

It is not necessary for all businesses to formalize by registering with the CIPC. For some businesses, such as informal businesses and sole proprietors, there may not be sufficient benefits. Businesses that wish to transact with government and the formal sector, or that wish to access certain types of government support, are generally required to be registered with the CIPC. For these businesses, there may also be tax benefits to registration, as registered businesses have a lower tax rate than individuals. Even though you may not be registered with the CIPC, you will still have to be registered with the South African Revenue Services (SARS) and will still be liable for tax if your turnover exceeds the prescribed threshold. For Profit companies: Sole Proprietor This is the simplest kind of business structure and does not need to be registered. • The owner (sole proprietor) trades under his or her own name. • No separation of personal and business assets and liabilities. • Sole proprietor benefits from all the profit and assets accumulated through the business • No limited liability – the sole proprietor is liable for any debt that the business incurs Private Company - (Pty) Ltd A private company is the type of company that will not be listed on the stock exchange – shares are never offered to the public. Private companies require the least amount of annual formalities • Private Companies are granted Proprietary Limited or "(Pty) Ltd” status. • May be founded and managed by 1 director if required (a one-man company) • This business structure is ideal for entrepreneurs to run their business with no limit on the number of directors. • Private companies are not allowed to offer securities (stock, bonds, shares, etc.) to the public and is also restricted from transferring its shares. • No annual audits required, if all requirements are met (example: all the directors are also the only shareholders of the company). Personal Liability Company Personal Liability Companies are most often registered for a group of professionals where the liability is shared by directors. • Personal Liability Companies are granted Incorporated or “Inc” status. • Must have a minimum of 1 director. • As a business owner or professional you can register a company that you want to be personally liable for. • The Personal Liability Company and its directors, past and present, are jointly liable for any debts and liabilities incurred. • This type of company is normally registered by individuals such as Doctors, Lawyers, Engineers, Accountants, Sole Proprietors, Partnerships, etc. Public Company (Ltd) Public companies raise funds by offering shares to the public, so there is no limit to the number of shareholders • Public companies are granted the “Limited Ltd” status. • Only requires one member for incorporation • No limit on the number of shareholders • Securities (stock, bonds, shares, etc.) can be offered to the public to raise capital, usually through the stock exchange • Management is invested in a Board of Directors. Non-Profit companies: • A company created for public benefit or relating to one or more cultural or social activities, or communal or group interests. • The income of a non-profit company is not distributed to its incorporators, members, directors, officers or persons related to any of them. • The name of a Non-Profit Company will end with “NPC”. • Incorporated by at least 3 persons for public benefit, social activities, communal or group Interest, etc. • Must have a minimum of 3 directors. • The primary objective is to be a benefit to the public and not to make profit. • Income/property may not be distributed to the incorporators, members, directors or officers. • Only reasonable compensation for services rendered by them may be taken. To register your company you will need to use the CIPC (Companies and Intellectual Property Commission) and the first step is to register on their website here. The second step is to deposit the funds. It’s R125 for company registration without a name reservation or R175 for a company registration with a name reservation. Remember to use your customer code as reference when depositing funds into the CIPC bank account. Then after that, fill in all the forms from here: http://www.cipc.co.za/index.php/register-your-business/companies/register-private-company/ There is also a Step by Step PDF with screenshots: Private_company_registration_v2.2.pdf

Total Cryptocurrency Market Cap

I hope you are wrong -
Is there a way to send bitcoins to paypal? I have a Recurring Payment setup in Paypal, but for some reason this particular payment does not want to work with my Capitec Bank card. I have other Recurring Payments that works flawlessly. Now I want to add funds to my paypal account itself, but I cannot find for the life of me a way to send funds to it via Capitec so assuming that is not possible; Is there a way I can send bitcoin? Alternatively, do any of you have a paypal account with money in it and would like to buy some bitcoin in exchange for you sending some paypal dollars to my paypal account so that I can pay the outstanding payment. I will sell BTC at market value - 3% for your troubles.
