Driving rain failed to dampen the enthusiasm of die-hard Fine Gael supporters in Clare last Saturday, who flocked to see the favourite for next Taoiseach, Enda Kenny.
There was a noticeable spring the step of local strategists as the Fine Gael leader met voters in Shannon and Ennis. Deputy Pat Breen was delighted with the turnout of over 200 people to welcome Deputy Kenny in Ennis.
"The wind was literally at our backs last Saturday. Clare people wanted to come out and meet Deputy Kenny. People see Fine Gael as the main government party after the General Election and overall there was a great buzz of anticipation and excitement during the visit," he said.
Deputy Joe Carey said he felt many people from Clare recognised Enda Kenny as a man who understood the issues here in the West.
"In both Shannon and Ennis, his visit was a huge shot in the arm for the Fine Gael organisation in County Clare. There is a clear appetite for change among the electorate and I believe that Fine Gael have the policies to effect this change. Fine Gael now need to maximise its vote and play its role here locally in changing this disastrous Government and replace it with a new, energised and forward-thinking administration that places job creation as a top priority. I am fully confident that Enda Kenny will deliver for the Mid-West as Taoiseach," he said.
Flanked by Deputy Pat Breen, Deputy Joe Carey and Councillor Tony Mulcahy, Deputy Kenny went on a short walk from the Temple Gate Hotel to O'Connell Street, stopping off to discuss shop closures in Ennis with local florist Mary Mulqueen and also had a brief chat with Jack Heaslip and his son in their shop.
He kept up the brisk pace going through Dunnes Stores, heading back to the Temple Gate Hotel before departing for some quick refreshments in the Auburn Lodge Hotel, where he met soccer legend, Johnny Giles.
St Flannan's Secondary School pupil Oliver Higgins from Clarecastle was one of the first young people who stopped to meet the Fine Gael leader in the Dunnes Stores Shopping Centre shopping mall.
Oliver told The Clare Champion he would vote for the party that would radically change the government to transform it into a very good administration working for the people.
Shortly afterwards, he stopped to have a brief conversation with Ann Garrihy from Ennistymon. Deputy Kenny told her he knew her brother, Michael Scally, Ballinadereen, Roscommon a former Fine Gael public representative who served two terms on Roscommon County Council.

Hey everyone since two days am I trying to change my Nameservers but it isn't working no matter what I try. I changed them already for my Bluehost domains and it directly worked. But with Godaddy, I'm getting the error message "unavailable" when I'm trying to save the nameservers. These are my custom nameservers for my dedicated server: ns1.visionsandresults.com and ns2.visionsandresults.com.
And yes I also changed the IP address so it's pointing to my dedicated server.
Hi @visionandresult,
The first thing to check is to make sure that the nameservers are correct. I know that sounds silly but sometimes, one or the other is off by a single character. If that is all fine, you would then have to make sure that there is not a problem with the dedicated server blocking GoDaddy, The other thing that may be happening is that there is a delay in the system from processing the pointing of the nameserver. That had been the case for me on multiple occasions.
Good Luck,
Hey. I just copy and paste the nameserver from my panel so it's 100% correct written and the problem is that Bluehost directly accepted them so I guess it's something from Godaddy and I also asked Turnkey and they also said the format is actually correct they don't know why GoDaddy isn't accepting them.
No one?
@visionandresult, your nameservers (NS) look fine. There are times when the NS redirect takes a little time. There is a message that mentions that it sometimes take a set amount of hours. Since I administer a few different accounts for clients, there is a usually a little bit of lag for the NS direction. If you would like to get a faster response to your issue, it would be best to login to your GoDaddy account and contact their support directly. The community portion of GoDaddy is so that people from the community to add support for items other than the GoDaddy hosting.
I have the same problem and scenario with private server, etc. I named my nameservers at my hosting myself, so I know they are correct. I get the same error, but when I look into the DNS zone for this domain I found the NS listed that I wanted to change them to when I got the "don't exist error" AND a couple others related to my hosting that I didn't create, so I don't know where they originated. So I guess I will just wait.

Jason Roberts Foundation host Cyrille Regis memorial event
PUBLISHED: 13:00 06 February 2019
The Jason Roberts Foundation hosted the first memorial year service for the late, great Cyrille Regis on Sunday at the Stonebridge Arena with family and friends from the local community coming together to celebrate the life of the football icon.
Regis, who was a trustee at the foundation, tragically passed away last year at the age of 60 after a sudden heart attack that sent reverberations around the football fraternity.
Broadcaster and lifelong West Bromwich Albion fan Adrian Chiles was in attendance on the night, along with representatives of the London Baggies club, for whom Regis was a club legend after a successful playing spell there in the 1970s.
There were also several former professional footballers there on the night, with the Stein brothers, Ricky Hill and Cyrille's brother Dave speaking movingly about the impact the Brent legend had on and off the field.
"It's been an incredibly tough year," said Dave. "It's gone so quick and not having my big brother no longer beside me has been really hard to take.
"Doing things like this keep his memory alive though and bring me and my family comfort about the impact he made during his life. He was a good, honest, kind man and I miss him very much."
Arsenal legend Ian Wright also popped in to pay his respects to a man who he has previously said created the pathway for him to become a professional footballer.

Understanding rostral-caudal auditory cortex contributions to auditory perception.

There are functional and anatomical distinctions between the neural systems involved in the recognition of sounds in the environment and those involved in the sensorimotor guidance of sound production and the spatial processing of sound. Evidence for the separation of these processes has historically come from disparate literatures on the perception and production of speech, music and other sounds. More recent evidence indicates that there are computational distinctions between the rostral and caudal primate auditory cortex that may underlie functional differences in auditory processing. These functional differences may originate from differences in the response times and temporal profiles of neurons in the rostral and caudal auditory cortex, suggesting that computational accounts of primate auditory pathways should focus on the implications of these temporal response differences.

Reagan came at a time when it didn't feel so good for many to be an American. We had pulled out of Vietnam just 5 years prior, Carter had bumbled his way through the second worst Presidency in our Nation's history (at the time, he was the worst, guess who has topped him), inflation was unbelievably high as were interest rates and the unemployment rate.
I was in the 6th grade when Ronald Reagan took office, but I remember the day of his inauguration. I remember how happy and proud he looked to be given the honor of doing the work of the people.
You see, when you go back and look at his speeches, you can see that not only was he simply delivering a speech, he was passionate about what he was saying. He truly believed, with the conviction of a warrior, in what he was saying. THAT is what made Reagan great.
Reagan had grand ideas and he truly believed that we the people know what is best for us. He truly believed in a limited government and that government gets its power from the governed. Most importantly, President Reagan loved this country and believed that it was the greatest country in the history of mankind. In every expression, in every word that he spoke, he reached out to us as a nation. He made us believe that together, we could accomplish anything. He, once again, made us proud to be Americans.
Growing up with Reagan as my President shaped who I am today. It's that simple. I was always fascinated with him and I was sorry to see him go. Yesterday I posted up his farewell address and it's inspiring in that it shows just how much he loved this country.
What we need is someone who believes and who has the conviction to stand up for what he believes, just as Ronald Reagan believed. We need someone who will unite us as a people once again, instead of dividing us. Unfortunately, there is no other like The Great Communicator and as far as I can tell, there likely isn't going to be another any time soon.
So here I sit loving my country, but pining for someone who lead us out of this mess that we're in. I fear that it may take too long, so long that it may be too late.

Oh boy, how far have we come in just three short days without basketball? Things are already getting crazy on NBA social media, and things got especially crazy on NBA Reddit this morning. The question was posed of why the Warriors don't have four guys create a circle around Steph Curry to allow him to get off a shot every possession. Like, wow. How hasn't anyone thought of this before? Talk about a modern NBA offense. Some teams run the "triangle" offense, but once the Warriors adopt this strategy, they will be running the first ever "circle" offense. Anyway, why not have some fun? Let's take a look at who the best players would be to surround Steph Curry if this fiction offense was real.
Dwight Howard, Kendrick Perkins, Tyson Chandler and Zach Randolph
Here it is, the new super team of the Western Conference. Picture a lineup of Steph Curry along with the four players listed above. Best of all, they can fully adopt the new "circle" offense that so many teams will soon be going to. However, this is the best tandem of players I could come up with to surround Steph Curry and protect him from defenders. Who's going to try and bulldoze through a circle of Howard, Perkins, Chandler and Randolph? Not many people.
In the end, this is just a funny idea that is passing time before trade rumors and the 2018 NBA Draft get underway. Plus, once the "circle" offense is adopted, defenses will surely counter with the "tower" defense. The "tower" defense would consist of putting players on the shoulders of other players so they can block Curry's shot (Boban is about to become very successful).
Anyway, stay golden NBA social media.

Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things.
Do you feel your consciousness, your attention, and your intelligence (not to mention your eyesight) being sucked away, byte by byte, in a deadening tsunami of ill-composed blather, corporate groupthink, commercial come-ons, and other meaningless internet flotsam? Do your work life and your social life, hideously conjoined in your inbox, drag each other down in a surreal cycle of neverending reposts, appointments, and deadlines?
Sometime in the mid-1990s, we began, often with some trepidation, to enroll for a service that promised to connect us-electronically and efficiently-to our friends and lovers, our bosses and merchants. If it seemed at first like simply a change in scale (our mail would be faster, cheaper, more easily distributed to large groups), we now realize that email entails a more fundamental alteration in our communicative consciousness. Despite its fading relevance in the lives of the younger generation in the face of an ever-changing array of apps and media, email is probably here to stay, for better or worse.
Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic.

I can't believe it. I have been working in the food service industry a long time now, and Friday nights are just something you know you have to work. But, someway, somehow the gods have spoken, and I now OFFICIALLY have Friday nights off from here on out! Can we take a moment? I think I am getting teary eyed.
Having Fridays off, is something I have only in a blue moon. And I can't believe how ironic it is, that the first Friday off is ON a blue moon. I mean seriously? Are stars lining up there or what! So, Im not rushing out on a night on the town for my first Friday night off. Yeah, I'm actually staying home. But that doesn't mean I am not going to have some fun, and you know that I HAVE to drink some Blue Moon Ale for sure! Actually, we used it in some of our cooking as well!
After dinner we noticed the moon was finally visible and popped out side to take a few amateur shots then run around in the dark like crazy people, because we are immature like that.

Cheltenham Festival 2017 Tips : Ryanair Chase
The Ryanair Chase (Thursday 2.50) has only been part of the Cheltenham Festival since 2005. It is run over 2-miles and 5-furlongs, and there are 17 fences to jump.
There are no massively strong statistics, though 8 of the last 10 winners ere priced at 6/1 or less.
8 horses are set to line-up for the 2017 Ryanair Chase.
Reportedly going well at home, but that was the case before he ran no sort of race in the Peter March Chase at Haydock. Going better in a small-field when falling four out at Exeter subsequently, but has yet to prove he justifies his rating of 160.
Ran well when second to Frodon at Cheltenham off a mark of 144 earlier in the season, but never got competitive off 152 back here two runs ago. Now taking-on 160+ horse and up against it off level-weights.
Empire Of Dirt
Won a handicap at last year's festival off a mark of 142, then started this season by winning a big Irish handicap off 148 with consummate ease, and the form has been boosted since. He boosted it himself when second in the Irish Gold Cup, and easy to make a case that he'll be the race-sponsor's first winner of the race.
Josses Hill
Placed twice at previous festivals, behind Vautour in the Supreme Novice and behind Un De Sceaux in the Arkle, but only eighth behind Vautour in last year's Ryan Air Chase. Improved this season, but probably not enough to win this unless a few opponents under-perform.
Sub Lieutenant
A second arrow fired at the race by Ryanaiir owner Michael O'Leary but, though progressive, perhaps not as impressive as Empire Of Dirt.
Un De Sceaux
Top-rated by 7lb, and has plenty of high-class form in the book. Usually races at 2-miles, but has won both of his races at around this distance. Would prefer softer ground, but stepping-up in trip should allow him to travel easier, if Ruby Walsh can settle him early.
Absent for 22-months after winning the 2015 Ryanair Chase, but ran a stormer behind Un De Sceaux here over 2-miles in January on his return from injury. 2½-miles will suit him much better and, it will be interesting to see if he takes on Un De Sceaux for the early lead. Mark Walsh riding him for the first time is a small negative.
Three-times runner-up here over hurdles, and looked likely to be second to Douvan in last year's Arkle when unseating. This trip on decent ground should suit, but has 15lb to find with Un De Sceaux.
2017 Ryanair Chase Summary
Willie Mullins' and Alan King's runners have been disappointing so far this week, so it may be worth taking Un De Sceaux and Uxizandre on with the progressive Empire Of Dirt with the Gordon Elliott runners flying this week.

Difference Between Nominal And Ordinal Number
To a common person who does not hold much knowledge about the subject of mathematics and to him a number is just a mere number. But in reality there exist a lot of differences in different types of numbers in the mathematics subject. Two such numbers are nominal and ordinal numbers and these are very frequently made use of in our day to day lives. The place that a number holds or the position of a particular number in a particular set of numbers is what is called the ordinal number. Thus we can refer to ordinal numbers as the number depicting the relationship between different numbers.A very good example of an ordinary number is the number used to depict the position at which a participant in any particular competition has been placed. In short Ordinal numbers are used to depict any position or rank or space and are used as twenty fourth, third, nineteenth etc. Nominal numbers on the other hand are arbitrary in nature and tend to depict something that has some meaning and need no definition in any set. Nominal numbers are not indicative of any kind of quantity that may include the number of objects, people and other concepts that holds lot of importance in the day to day life. Another good example of nominal number is the Social Security number that all of us make use of. Thus we can draw a conclusion that a nominal number is something that is used to represent anything that holds a lot of importance in our life.
The credit of introducing Ordinal numbers to us goes to Georg Cantor who did it in 1897 so as to provideunlimitedarrangements and also to classify sets indefinitetypes of order assemblies. He shaped a natural number was made use of for two purposes: to depict the size that a set had and also to depict the place that an element holds in a pattern. If we consider the case of nominal numbers, we will see that it was not created by any person and were originally brought into existence for the purpose of being used in text books referred by school children. The origin of the name is from a term used in statistics called "nominal data". A data which is nominal in nature indicates to the fact that the particular data as well as statements belong to the qualitative class of affiliations. Additionally, nominal numbers find their use in the purpose of identification.The only information provided by this number is the information regarding itself only. It is not necessary that the number is numerical only as it may also consist of alphabets too.
Ordinal numbers may be put to use to perform arithmetic taskssuch as division, addition, subtraction and multiplication. They are able tocreate aclear, well-organizedoutline that can denote a transfinite recursion. Moreover, it may also be usedwhile defining ordinals as done by Von Neumann. As per the definition coined by John von Neumann, ordinal number needs to be in a proper ordered form. Moreover it can also be used in case of transfinite induction which is nothing but awell-organized set that depicts not only the authenticity but also defines the subject matter.
Nominal numbers find their use in the form of an integer too, performing a very important function in depicting the magnitude. Nominal numbers can be used to depict the Zip code of any particular country or region, the driving license number of an individual, the numbers of the National Insurance etc. The numbers that from the telephone numbers etc. are also Nominal Numbers. Even the IP addresses in the IT industries are the Nominal Numbers.
1. Ordinal numbers refer to those numbers that depict a particular order or rather the position of a particular number in a definite set of numbers, depicting a date, an object, a place or even a person present in a particular set.
2. The credit of introducing the Ordinal numbers to the human race goes to George Cantor who made use of the same in case of infinite arrangements. Nominal data on the other hand was made to put use to depict a particular data in associations.
3.Ordinal numbers are employed to perform arithmeticprocesses and find their use in our day to day life.

Our service lets you receive the funds you need, whenever you need it. It is highly secured and fast, making it the best solution for your financial distress. Borrow funds up to £3000 and have it ready on the same day. And the best part, it is absolutely free!
Immediate Cash Assistance
Going broke through emergency cases can be troublesome. Without anyone to turn to, things could come down hard on you. If this is the kind of situation that you're currently going through, then we have good news for you!
Our services can provide you with the cash assistance you need, anytime you need it. The application is incredibly fast and convenient. Check out below to get started!
How Will My Application Work?
Secure Process
Your data is completely safe and secured. There's no need for you to visit banks or fall in long lines to get approved. All you need to do is to complete a form online.
Paid Into Your Account
You don't even have to wait a full day to get the funds you've borrowed. Within minutes, the payment is sent directly to your checking account. No fuss, no hassle, no delay.
Credit Problem
Got bad credit? That's not going to be a problem. Our lenders don't do credit checks. As long as you're good at paying the loan on time, you're good to go.
How Can I Get Money Fast Without Applying for a Loan?
You need money fast, but getting a loan from a bank or loan company is the last thing on your mind. How can you come up with money fast without having to apply for a loan?
Borrow from family or close buddies
You can always ask a loan from a relative or a close friend by talking to them earnestly. Let's just assume that you have a close relationship with them and they trust you with money. Getting a loan from family or friends won't be difficult given that they have extra money to lend you.
Salary advance
Some companies allow employees to get a cash advance of their salary. The debt is usually deducted from the employee's next paycheck. An employee usually has to fill up a voucher and ask for authorization from an immediate superior and submit it to the Finance department so that the funds can be released.
Credit card advance
One quick way to get cash is by using the cash advance feature of your credit card. Now, this is hoping that you have enough available balance on your credit card to get cash. In order to take out a cash advance on your credit card, you just need to go to an ATM machine, key in your cash advance pin and you'll have the money in an instant. Be cautious in using the cash advance feature of your card since this is already similar to taking out a loan and any amount you take out has outrageous interest rates and fees.
How Can I Get an Installment Loan if My Credit is Bad?
An installment loan can be obtained in two ways. First, it can be a secured loan where you need to attach an asset to the debt. It can also be an unsecured loan where only your word (and signature) is the guarantee. Lenders usually verify the details of your loan application including your credit history. A borrower's credit history is the most important factor in determining whether he will be granted a loan or not.
If your credit score is perfect, then good for you. But what if your credit is bad?
You can still avail of an installment loan through a non-traditional lender. Online lenders cater to individuals with different circumstances, some with good credit, others with fair credit, and also those with negative credit. No credit check installment loans were designed specifically for borrowers who have poor or bad credit. The online lender will look past your credit history and focus on other important aspects such as your employment and salary, as well as properties and investments.
Online lenders also offer the fastest and smoothest loan application processing. While you need to drop by personally at the bank or a lender's office to submit your loan request, with an online lender, everything is done over the Internet. You can save time and energy by simply logging online and submitting your installment loan application. You will get feedback in an instant so you don't have to wait for days just to find out if you are qualified for an installment loan.
Can You Get a Short Term Loan to Pay Off a Loan
Getting a loan to pay another loan sounds funny but it happens. Despite the presence of another interest rate, some people open a new account to repay outstanding debts and in some instances, it works.
Before Sending Another Loan Application Form
Now that you know it's possible to get a loan to pay off a loan, you might get too excited and send an application now. However, before you make any decisions, it's best when you can speak with a professional, let's say, a credit counselor. There will be a lot of loan alternatives when you want to consolidate your debts but no matter how appealing they sound, be sure to double check everything with your credit counselor. Make sure that the interest rate of the new loan is lower and the terms and conditions of the new "potential" lender are good enough.
Plan Your Budget
If you have a lot of debts already, control your impulse to spend, even when you have extra cash. Rather, use this as additional payment for your other debts or just simply save it. Also, when all your debts are clear and you only have one loan left, do not forget to plan your budget, make timely payments, and spend wisely. This way, you can avoid being trapped in debt again.
Finding A Debt Consolidation Loan Provider
If you have good credit, it will be easier for you to find a loan provider. But remember, your credit score is not the only factor that influences their decision. Make sure that you can comply with their other requirements such as a source of income, bank account, employment details, and a lot more. If you have a bad credit history, it might be tricky to find a lender that will accept your loan application and offer you a good interest. The best thing to do in this situation now is to shop and compare different lenders first to know who has the best loan offer.

Capital Gains Tax (CGT) is a complex area to dip into, so here I've tried to give a brief
explanation for the normal situations that many of us face, broken down into the following
When you don't have to pay Capital Gains Tax
When you are eligible to pay Capital Gains Tax
How much you will have to pay?
What if you have a second residential property?
Letting relief and Capital Gains Tax
Capital Gains Tax on inherited homes
Capital Gains Tax on gifted homes
Capital Gains Tax Liabilities for UK Non-Residents
Capital Gains Tax on investments
Claiming Entrepreneurs' Relief against Capital Gains Tax
As always, our advice is to seek clarification on any issues from your Financial Adviser.
When you don't have to pay Capital Gains Tax.
If you are selling your own home (main place of residence) then the good news is, that it's
very unlikely that you will need to pay CGT as you will benefit from 'Private Residence Relief'.
If however you are selling a home that you currently rent out, or you are selling a second
home, then CGT may become applicable. That said, there are a number of ways you may be
able to reduce your CGT bill through letting relief or by nominating which of your homes you
wish to be viewed as tax-free.
When you are eligible to pay Capital Gains Tax.
Although not an exclusive list, below are the most common scenarios that activate CGT on a
property sale:
• It is not your main place of residence
• You have developed your home. For example you may have converted part of it into flats
• You have sold part of your garden, where your total plot, including the area you are selling,
is more than half a hectare (1.2 acres)
• You exclusively make use of part of your home for business
• You let out all or part of your home. This doesn't include having a lodger. To count someone
as a lodger you need to be living in the property too, or they are classed as a tenant
• You moved out of your property 18 months ago
• You bought the property for the purpose of renovating it and selling it on
How much you will have to pay?
The CGT rates for 2017 – 2018 state that when you sell a property, you are allowed to keep a
proportion of the profits tax-free. This is called your Capital Gains Tax Allowance.
In the 2017 – 2018 tax year, you can make a profit of £11,300 before you have to pay CGT.
With basic rate taxpayers paying 18% CGT on property sales over this profit allowance.
Whilst higher-rate and additional-rate taxpayers will have to pay 28%.
What if you have a second residential property?
As long as you haven't bought your second home with the sole intention of selling it in order
to make a profit, and you use it, then you can nominate which of your two homes will be tax-
free. Just make sure you make the nomination before the two-year deadline from the time you
acquire your new home.
It's worth noting that the property you nominate doesn't have to be the one where you live
most of the time. So it makes sense to pick the one you expect to make the largest gain on
when you come to sell.
Civil partners and married couples can only nominate one main home between them, but
unmarried couples can each nominate different homes.
Letting relief and Capital Gains Tax.
Providing the property has been your main home at some point, and you have let out either
all or a part of your home, then you can claim tax relief in the form of Private Residence Relief
for the time it was your main residence, along with the last 18 months of ownership. You can
even claim if you weren't living in the property during those 18 months.
You may also be able to further reduce your capital gains tax bill by claiming Letting Relief.
However, you can't claim Private Residence Relief and Letting Relief for the same period.
The amount of letting relief you can claim will be the lowest of these three:
• £40,000
• The total you receive from the letting proportion of the home
• The total Private Residence Relief you get
Capital Gains Tax on inherited homes.
When someone leaves you their home in their will, you inherit the property at the market
value at the time of their death.
As there is no CGT payable on death, the value of the home is included in the estate and
inheritance tax may be payable instead.
If you sell the property without nominating it as your own home, you won't be able to claim
Private Residence Relief, so there will be CGT to pay if the value has increase between the
date of death and the date of the sale.
Capital Gains Tax on gifted homes.
If the property is gifted to you during the owner's lifetime (while they are still living there), this
is termed as a 'gift with reservation' and essentially means it still counts for inheritance tax
when the gift giver passes away.
So there will be CGT to pay when you sell the home if the value has increase between the
date of the gift and the date of the sale.
Capital Gains Tax Liabilities for UK Non-Residents.
Unfortunately, being an expat or non-resident in the UK no longer avoids CGT duties. Since
April 2015 British expats and non-residents are required to report the sale or disposal of
properties to HMRC. With the CGT being payable on gains made after 5 April 2015.
Please be aware that you must inform HMRC within 30 days after the ownership transfer
date, even if there is zero tax to pay.
Capital Gains Tax on investments.
Making regular investments is often seen as the smartest way to get into the stock market.
However it can present some challenges if you decide to partially sell your investments. If you
are completely liquidating your portfolio, then the CGT is straightforward – being the total
amount paid into the fund deducted from the proceeds of the final sale gives you the size of
your capital gain. With anything exceeding the £11,100 CGT limit becoming liable at your tax
It's when you only liquidate part of your investments that things can become complicated. As
a rule of thumb, if you have bought units at a variety of prices over a period of time, then you
will need to work out the average price per share. You can then calculate your investment
against your gain. Again your financial adviser can help you with this.
Liquidating funds often allows investors to 'Bed and ISA'. Where investments that are held
outside an ISA are sold and then the same investments are bought back within an ISA
avoiding CGT in the future.
Claiming Entrepreneurs' Relief against Capital Gains Tax.
Business owners who are selling all or part of their business can claim Entrepreneurs' Relief
(ER) on the sale and reduce their tax liability to 10% on all qualifying gains.
The main qualifications for ER, are if you dispose of any of the following:
• All or part of your business, including the business's assets, once it has been closed
– either as a sole trader or business partner
• Shares or securities in a company where you have at least 5% of shares and voting
• Shares you got through an Enterprise Management Incentive (EMI) scheme after 5
April 2013
• Assets you lent to your business or personal company
Once again, this is not an exclusive list and further information can be found here
If you have any questions regarding Capital Gains Tax
As always, if you are in any doubts as to your current situation, or potential CGT obligations,
then you should consult a financial adviser. You are welcome to contact us where we
will be happy to help answer any questions you may have.

Meryl Streep Salutes Teachers and Students in "Back To School" Week on PBS Starting September 3
Posted by
A Passionate Supporter of Public Education, Streep Narrates "School," Introduces "The First Year," and Is Seen in Promotional Spots Throughout the Week
PBS Stations Complement Initiative With Local Programs
ALEXANDRIA, VA, August 14, 2001 - "I believe teachers are heroes. It's time we recognize the importance of these people who, despite countless obstacles and hardships, choose to teach . . . because they believe they can change the world, one mind at a time." So says Oscar-winning actress Meryl Streep, introducing THE FIRST YEAR during PBS's "Back to School" week of programs highlighting public education starting Labor Day. Ms. Streep will introduce the documentary series SCHOOL: THE STORY OF AMERICAN PUBLIC EDUCATION (which she also narrates), on Monday and Tuesday, September 3 and 4 at 9 p.m., and THE FIRST YEAR, a 90-minute cinema verite documentary about new teachers, on Thursday, September 6 at 9 p.m. In addition, Ms. Streep, who portrayed the East Harlem violin teacher Roberta Guaspari in the movie Music of the Heart, will also appear in several promotional spots throughout the week.
As part of "Back to School," PBS will also offer encore presentations of AMERICAN HIGH as well as diverse specials about education throughout September. (Check local listings.)
"Education is at the core of all we and our stations do at PBS, from programming to Web content to national outreach," said Pat Mitchell, president and CEO of PBS. "These programs tell the extraordinary story of a new nation's struggle for free, universal education, and examine the pressing issues that teachers, parents and students face today. We are grateful for the participation of Meryl Streep throughout our week and believe that her commitment to raising public awareness around the issues of education will increase the impact of all PBS programming on the subject."
Public television stations will complement the PBS initiative in a variety of ways during the week of September 3. The Oklahoma Network will produce a one-hour documentary honoring that state's teachers cited for excellence by the Milken Family Foundation. WETA is developing an on-air campaign of spots profiling "educational heroes" in the greater Washington, D.C. area. KLVX in Las Vegas will air a campaign of television spots honoring outstanding educators. WTVS Detroit Public Television will use its new Kids Club character to deliver back-to-school messages to young viewers, and is collaborating with Detroit Public Schools to build a magnet media and performing arts high school. Louisiana Public Broadcasting, in cooperation with the Academic Distinction Fund and other educational organizations, will use its six transmitter sites to air seven profiles of outstanding Louisiana students.
The "Back to School" Campaign
PBS's "Back to School" spots, co-written by Ms. Streep and Paul Miller, associate creative director of PBS, were taped in a schoolroom at elementary school P.S. 158 in New York. "Like most Americans, my interest in the subject is personal," she says in the introduction to SCHOOL. "I am the product of the New Jersey public school system. Both my brothers started out as teachers and one has been teaching in New York schools for over 10 years."
Lesli Rotenberg, PBS senior vice president, brand management and promotion, and John Ruppenthal, senior director, creative services, are executive producers of the "Back to School" television campaign. Paul Miller is writer/producer and Derrick Chamlee is creative director. Ron Honsa of Moving Pictures is director.
Meryl Streep's work in film, television and theater has been distinguished by the diversity of women she has chosen to portray and her great empathy for them. She won the Academy Award¨ twice, as Best Actress for Sophie's Choice (1982) and Best Supporting Actress for Kramer vs. Kramer (1979). She has been nominated by the Academy 12 times, most recently for her work in The Bridges of Madison County, One True Thing, and Music of the Heart. She has also won the Outer Critics Circle Award, the Theater World Award, an Obie, and a Tony nomination. In September 1999, Ms. Streep received the Gotham Lifetime Achievement Award from the Independent Feature Project in New York. This spring she completed filming two new movies, The Hours (based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning book by Michael Cunningham) and Adaptation (directed by Spike Jonze), both of which will be released in 2002. She is currently appearing in Mike Nichols' production of Chekhov's The Seagull, part of the Public Theater's annual free "Shakespeare in Central Park" series. She has been married to sculptor Don Gummer for 23 years. They have four children.
The Programs
SCHOOL examines the great American experiment of universal education, providing a history of this phenomenon from the American Revolution to today. The programs look at the fervent efforts of Thomas Jefferson and others to create a common system of tax-supported schools that would mix people of different backgrounds; the spread of public schooling in the 19th century; the massive wave of immigration in the early 20th century; the Civil Rights era; and the reforms and turmoil that mark our public school system today.
SCHOOL is accompanied by extensive outreach, including panel discussions, workshops, town hall meetings, screenings and local educational events, all examining the issues brought forth in the PBS series. Directed and produced by Sarah Mondale and Sarah Patton of Stone Lantern Films, Inc., SCHOOL is presented in association with KCET Hollywood.
America faces an extreme shortage of educators; it is estimated that to bridge the gap over the next ten years, over two million new teachers will need to be enlisted. THE FIRST YEAR chronicles the lives of five young teachers in southern California as they cope with their first year. The documentary follows them through the entire school year as they work with children, teenagers and adult immigrants. As they overcome the obstacles and reap the rewards of their profession, they demonstrate the fundamental role of talented, dedicated teachers in the health of our schools.
An outreach campaign includes a short version of the film available to educational organizations to inspire young adults to become teachers. THE FIRST YEAR, a presentation of KCET Hollywood, is directed by Davis Guggenheim and produced by Julia Schachter.
In addition, encore episodes of AMERICAN HIGH, the acclaimed PBS reality series about life in a Chicago high school, air each Wednesday night at 10 p.m. in September, with the culminating graduation episode airing on September 26. The series, which follows students in a suburban Chicago high school, has earned raves from critics and viewers alike.
Web Activities
Both SCHOOL: THE STORY OF AMERICAN PUBLIC EDUCATION and THE FIRST YEAR will offer expansive companion Web sites on PBS.org starting Wednesday, August 15. The site for SCHOOL (www.PBS.org/publicschool/) will feature information regarding today's most-discussed education issues, a look at the country's key historical and contemporary education figures and a virtual schoolhouse tour to see how today's classroom has evolved. Site visitors will be able to connect with organizations that are working to improve education where they live.
The Web site for THE FIRST YEAR (www.PBS.org/firstyear/) will provide resources for those who are inspired to get involved in public education. Users will be able to connect and share information in The First Year Forum, a message board for aspiring and experienced teachers, and get guidance on becoming an educator with insights from the film's first-year teachers. The site will also allow visitors to learn more about the teachers featured in the documentary, the story behind the film, and meet the filmmakers.
In addition, Extra, THE NEWSHOUR WITH JIM LEHRER's award-winning educational site featured on Online NewsHour (www.PBS.org/newshour/), will launch "For Teachers," a current-events resource for high school educators, in September. "For Teachers" will feature a weekly lesson plan on a topic reported by THE NEWSHOUR, transcripts of NEWSHOUR broadcasts, archives, classroom discussion topics and videos. The National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS) will collaborate on the initiative.
Additional Programming
PBS will offer its member stations additional programs keyed to education in September:
- NO GREATER CALLING, hosted by Emmy Award-winning actor, producer and writer Edward James Olmos, is a one-hour documentary that celebrates model teachers whose skill and commitment touch the lives of their students in communities across America. (UNC-TV, North Carolina).
Encore programs:
- ONLY A TEACHER is a three-hour series exploring the historical and ongoing importance of teachers in the lives of their students, emphasizing their crucial influence as role models and upholders of society's norms. (Claudia Levin Productions)
- In THE MERROW REPORT: SCHOOL SLEUTH, recent winner of a Peabody Award, John Merrow casts himself as a private eye trying to solve "The Case of the Excellent School." He explores safety, curriculum, physical environment, adults in the building, and the school's sense of community to measure excellence in education. (South Carolina ETV)
- THE MERROW REPORT: THE TOUGHEST JOB IN AMERICA chronicles David Hornbeck's six tumultuous years as head of Philadelphia's public school system, the fifth largest in the nation, and tells the story of one man's struggle to bring change to a system that bucks it at every turn. (South Carolina ETV)
PBS, headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia, is a private, nonprofit media enterprise owned and operated by the nation's 346 public television stations. Serving nearly 100 million people each week, PBS enriches the lives of all Americans through quality programs and education services on noncommercial television, the Internet and other media. More information about PBS is available at PBS.org.

Talynne is the middle daughter of the Rovehn family, known for being a Knight but also well known for her familiarity with War Horses and their training. While her Mother and Grandmother deal with trades for horses regarding the Royal house of Sauveur, Talynne tends to work with the house of Cindravale quite often in helping them gain the correct breeds and training they require.
Talynne is a lovely woman, standing only about 5'7" with long, brown hair liberally toned with honey colored highlights that have been procured from days under the sun on the flat plains. Her bright hazel eyes are fairly intense, if one gets close enough to get a good look at them. Marked by high, rounded cheekbones and a full, naturally smiling mouth, Talynne tends to be thought of as quite attractive. Her body is built with a generous amount of lithe muscle, worked and honed from years of practice as not only a knight but also a trainer of war horses.
Closet Hopeless Romantic - Yes, she believes in everlasting love. Sure. She just hasn't found it yet. Or might never. That's ok though, hopeless romantic, not realistic romantic.
Horseback Acrobat - You should see the stuff this girl can do on horseback, all of it practiced while no one looks.
Spirited - The chances of her keeping her spirit down and pretending to be meek and demure are fairly slim to none.

Mac Miller moves away from his "Donald Trump shit" into a deeper, more developed aesthetic in his newest album, GO:OD AM. The rapper evolves from his frat-boy persona found in previous albums, and uses his recent struggles with addiction — briefly discussed in his last mixtape, "Faces" — to explore a more lyrical avenue that adds depth to the album. These new additions chart Miller's progress and could surely increase his following.
Miller loads his album with famous celebrities, adding to his stardom and broadening his audience. His collaborations with artists such as Tyler the Creator and Miguel have helped Miller explore a more sophisticated sound while retaining his upbeat energy. Many beats on the album are soothing and resemble his track, "Avian," as opposed to one of his first hits, "Frick Park Market," which was known for its energy. This subdued tone works well with his upgraded image.
Miller's voice and lyrics finally receive more attention in tracks such as "Clubhouse" and "Cut the Check" as opposed to being overshadowed by antics and energy. Though the more subdued vibe may throw fans off, his new sound seems to be more in line with successful artists in the same genre of pop rap, and Miller still finds a way to weave his energy into these mixes.
Miller even addresses his growth in "Jump." He states, "Wish I knew back then all the things I know now." And while this may be his first approach to step away from rapping about superfluous fame, he still falls short when compared with other lyrically acclaimed artists in rap such as Childish Gambino or Eminem. In fact, there are a few songs on GO:OD AM that missed the mark.
While Miller's beat in "Weekend" with Miguel compliments his sound instead of fighting against it, tracks such as "Break the Law" and "God Speed" are out of place next to slower tracks. Prior to GO:OD AM, Miller's rapping often competed for attention when paired against such intricate beats. However, his new album directs the focus to both the beat and the lyrics as opposed to forcing the attention on one aspect.
Though the lyrical quality of "Break the Law" and "God Speed" are commendable, the heavy sound is displaced in comparison to the rest of the album. It almost seems like he is retracting to his older, younger and more immature sound even though the lyrics themselves are in line with his new aesthetic.
Miller's struggle with drugs and growing up provided an outlet to create art with meaning as opposed to something simply catchy. Fans can finally get a taste of the artist's actual life instead of the persona he put forth in old tracks such as "Knock Knock" and "Donald Trump." While it would have been easy for Miller to contact celebrities such as Ariana Grande to easily climb the Top 40 ladder, the artist explains how important it is for him to reveal his growth and progress in GO:OD AM.

Came by some old salvaged draws and made a carcase for them to sit in. Fun with the router – I made a jig that road in the groove for the previous draw to ensure even spacing. The brief from the client SWMBO was to make it look like it belongs in an old shop (UK shop for which the US should read store) or "olde shoppe".

Mitsubishi Inaugurates Special Vehicle Projects With L200 Barbarian Svp
Special vehicle programs is something most of us usually associate with exotic and luxury brands like Ferrari, McLaren and Jaguar, but Mitsubishi has one too now. Well, sort of.
The Japanese carmaker has announced plans to introduce a new Special Vehicle Projects or SVP program at the Commercial Vehicle Show later this week.
Designed to offer British customers exclusive and highly distinctive vehicles, the SVP program will see the company build an assortment of limited edition models with "significant appearance changes."
The first model is the L200 Barbarian SVP which draws inspiration from the one-off L200 Desert Warrior Pre-runner. It is based on the L200 Barbarian Double Cab and features an Electric Blue or Cosmos Black exterior with a revised grille, tinted lighting units, and 17-inch black alloy wheels with BF Goodrich all-terrain tires. The truck has also been equipped with extended wheel arches, a black rear bumper, a soft-opening tailgate, and bed lights.
Drivers will find an upscale interior featuring leather seats with faux suede inserts, embroidered headrests, and illuminated door sill plates. Other highlights include GPS navigation, a rearview camera, and a keyless entry system.
Power is provided by a 2.4-liter turbodiesel engine that produces 180 PS (177 hp) and 430 Nm (317 lb-ft) of torque. It can be connected to either a six-speed manual transmission or a five-speed automatic with steering wheel mounted paddle shifters. Regardless of which gearbox is selected, both are backed up by a standard four-wheel drive system.
Production will be limited to 250 units and pricing starts at £28,479. This makes the truck somewhat of a bargain as the Volkswagen Amarok costs £1,641 more.

The most important relationship you'll have is with yourself.
Self-love is the most important type of love on Earth. Why? Because you must learn how to love yourself before you can love others. You can't love someone else without loving yourself first.
Many people crave love from others. They'll search for it like crazy, but what they really need to do is find love within themselves.
When you learn to love yourself, you gain respect for yourself and you start to know your worth. Loving yourself first means realizing what you deserve and knowing that you don't NEED someone else's love to feel whole.
If you don't love who you are, people can see right through that and they'll start to take advantage. You'll find yourself in toxic, manipulative and controlling relationships because others will feel like they can walk all over you. If you truly loved yourself, you wouldn't let people treat you that way.
So how do you learn to truly love yourself?
The road to self-love doesn't happen overnight. It's a long and powerful journey. They'll be days when you feel more confident and happy than usual and days when you can't stand looking at that person in the mirror. It's all normal and it's all a learning process.
It's important to take baby steps. For example, look in the mirror and give yourself at least one compliment each day. You'll start to believe what you're saying and see the beauty within yourself.
Take care of yourself and do things that make you happy. Wear clothes that make you feel beautiful and let that confidence soar. People will start to take notice and the love you have for yourself will begin to grow more and more every day.
You deserve the world, but you need to truly believe that first. Once you start focusing on loving yourself, everything else will start falling into place. To help lead you on the path of loving yourself, here are 25 quotes about self-love.

3. It's never too late to start loving yourself more.
"I am new here. To this self-love. To this whole love. To this not changing for anyone, not apologizing to anyone, sort of kind and pure love. And I am never leaving. My heart is overflowing." — Alison Malee
4. Self-love is a learning process.
"I forget how to love myself most days. But I keep trying. I keep trying. And that alone is a victory." — Alison Malee

We all love to smile! But are you hiding your smile because your teeth aren't quite as white as you'd like them to be. There is no need to hide that beautiful smile. We have got the best, most helpful tips to get you the white smile you won't want to hide.
Read as many reviews about whitening products as you can before buying one. If you take the time to research the products before you spend your money on them, you are sure to find a quality product a lot quicker and without spending as much money.
To prevent teeth whiteners from bleaching your gums along with your teeth, rub a small bit of petroleum jelly on your gums before using whitening products. The petroleum jelly provides a protective coating that will help stop the active ingredients in topical whiteners from also bleaching your gums along with your teeth.
Discontinue the use of any teeth whitening products if your teeth begin to feel more sensitive. You could be causing more damage to your teeth than you think, it would probably be best to ask for a professional opinion at this point. Always discuss what you best treatment options may be with your dentist.
Depending on how badly your teeth are stained or how fast you want results, consider having your dentist whiten your teeth. It is not cheap, though. The money may be worth it to you, if you want fast results and super white teeth.
Two great fruits to help you naturally whiten your teeth are pears and apples. When eaten, both of these fruits create a large amount of saliva. The additional saliva helps clean those stained teeth. So next time you are looking for a healthy snack, choose one that will also whiten your teeth!
When you decide to do any kind of dental regimen that includes whitening your teeth you should be sure to have the advice of a dental professional. If you try to do things completely on your own you may make amateur mistakes that will set back your progress by several months.
Try using a whitening toothpaste. They do not work as well as the whiteners with bleach in them, but they do prevent new stains from forming. The active ingredients, including a silica abrasive, is generally considered to be safe for your teeth.
You should not use mouthwashes that contain color. Your teeth could actually become discolored from these types of mouthwashes. Many of them have alcohol which could harm your tongue and gums, not to mention get soaked in your bloodstream.
If you're pregnant, don't use commercial teeth whitening products! Some of these products include ingredients that are harmful to a developing fetus. Usually, whitening toothpastes are okay, but be sure to consult with our doctor before using one.
A white smile can be yours. Follow our proven pointers and you will see just how easy it is to get a smile that others will envy. You have nothing to lose. Try our tips and with the beautiful white smile you get, you won't be able to stop smiling.

How to make the right dombra so it would bring joy to listeners?
How to make the right dombra so it would bring joy to listeners with its perfect sound for many years? The Aktau craftsman Nurzhan Mussayev knows about these secrets. He has been making musical instruments for twenty years. Every instrument is unique in its kind. Sometimes it can take six months to create one dombra.
- Beautiful sounds can only be heard from a dombra that has been crafted professionally. The instrument must be made according to all the laws of acoustics. The dombra's form depends on the region. In the west, you can often see the drop-shaped dombra, while in the East you can find the angular dombra.
Dombra can't be made from a simple billet. The wood and its breed should be chosen carefully. Nurzhan Mussayev prefers to work with walnut, aspen and mahogany. He constantly improves his skill, starting at the age of 15 when he made his first instrument. Professional musicians highly appreciate his work.
- If a dombra is made correctly with soul, then its sound will be flawless. Nowadays, only few people can make a musical instrument of this quality. Nurzhan Mussayev is one of such craftsmen.
It is true that talented people are talented in everything. Nurzhan Mussayev successfully combines the dombra manufacture with acting career. The master had more than thirty roles in the regional Music and Drama Theater. Nurzhan Mussayev is very passionate about dombra and is always happy to play his favorite compositions that have survived through the ages.

Had my 7 out for Track Night in America yesterday for the first time. What a blast that car is to drive on the track. It was a TON of work to drive though. I'm much more tired than when I track the Honda, and it has manual steering and 225 slicks. Also, I found myself being sandblasted every time an overheating Corvette passed me on the long straight. I was picking OPR out of the cockpit between sessions.
It gives plenty of warning before the front starts to slip and it's really easy to hold right at the edge. I think some suspension adjustment will make it quicker. And it absolutely LOVES trail braking.
It's about equal in lap times with a Spec Miata on old tires, and a little slower than a Spec Miata on race rubber. The race Spec Miata easily passed me on the long straight, which is odd given that I have slightly more HP and way less weight. I guess the aero penalty of this design is bigger than I thought.
Anyway. boring track day video below

Snapdeal, an Indian e-commerce company, is close to buying its rival ShopClues, in an all-stock deal. The deal is about to mature after talks fell through several times previously, due to disagreements on financial terms. If the merger goes through as planned, ShopClues investors are likely to get 1 Snapdeal share for every 9 shares they hold, adding 10% stake in the combined entity, cite sources familiar with the matter.
Reportedly, the deal is expected to be a cent percent buyout with all ShopClues investors, including Helion Venture Partners, Singapore's sovereign wealth fund GIC, Tiger Global, Unilazer Ventures and Nexus Venture Partners, rolling into Snapdeal. The founders of ShopClues, Sanjay Sethi and Radhika Aggarwal might get a small cash exit as a part of the deal. The due diligence is in process and a final decision can be expected soon.
If the deal materializes, it is expected to consolidate the long-tail e-commerce market, which has mainly been catering small town customers, away from core audience of established companies in the field like Amazon and Flipkart.
As per credible sources, ShopClues Network has raised $250 million so far and has also seen its business deteriorate in the last year, relegating it to 5th position on the Gross Merchandise Value or GMV chart. Companies in the e-commerce logistics space have claimed that ShopClues was hardly executing any orders recently. The executives in logistic industry also claim that ShopClues has become a credit risk to carry on a business with.
ShopClues' mobile web traffic has also fallen to 11 million in April 2019 from 16 million in November 2018 while Snapdeal's mobile web traffic rose to 82 million from 68 million, during the same duration. ShopClues has however, reduced losses from Rs 210 crore (2017-18) to less than Rs 45 crore (2018-19).
Snapdeal's Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer, Kunal Bahl did not respond to queries. A ShopClues spokesperson said that the company refrains from commenting on market rumors.
