The 2019/20 tax year is upon us. And with it will bring a number of new tax year changes that are sure to affect those who submit Self Assessment tax returns.
Keep on top of these changes and you can guarantee that you'll not only continue to comply with the relevant legislation but also know how to be more tax-efficient.
Personal Allowance
The tax-free Personal Allowance will increase by £650 to £12,500, and the basic and higher rate bands will change too. The basic band for 2019/20 is at £12,501-£50,000, the higher at £50,001-£150,000, and the additional rate band remains at £150,000. This will require you to pay 20%, 40% and 45% tax on your earnings respectively.
These bands are applied to any income that is classed as 'non-savings' and 'non-dividend'. As you will need to earn more than you do currently, the Income Tax changes will see 30.6 million people's bill reduced.
There are limits on the Personal Allowance. If you earn over £100,000, then every £2 above the amount will result in £1 being subtracted from it. Income that exceeds £125,000 won't be able to use the Personal Allowance at all.
If you're located in Scotland, then the Income Tax rates and thresholds are slightly different.
National Insurance contributions
NICs are changing too. The threshold for Class 1 National Insurance contributions will rise to £8,632 from £8,424. If you earn under £50,000, then you'll pay 12% of your earnings towards these. For any income above this amount, an extra 2% will be due. Class 1 contributions are only owed if you have been in any employment within the tax year.
Those that undertake work that is classified as 'self-employment' may be required to pay Class 2 and 4 rates. There are certain jobs that have the option to be exempt, including landlords and ministers of religion. Class 2 contributions are due on earnings more than £6,205, and are £3 per week.
If your income is above £8,632, then you would need to make Class 4 contributions – 9% of your earnings. And if they exceed £50,000, then you'll owe an additional 2% on the profits over this.
Other taxes
You may also be required to pay other taxes, depending on your circumstances. For example, if you need to submit a Self Assessment because you're a director of a limited company and therefore pay dividends, you should pay tax on these. The dividend tax rates are not changing this tax year, and so remain at 7.5% for basic-rate payers, 32.5% for higher-rate payers, and 38.1% for additional rate payers.
VAT rates are also still the same. However, the HMRC submission process is changing, with Making Tax Digital (MTD) for VAT coming into play a few days before the new tax year.
Being more tax-efficient
Digital submission aims to reduce the time taken to deal with your taxes, allowing more time for productivity. This will help you to increase your income, and you can offset your expenses to reduce the tax you pay on earnings.
You can also lessen your tax liability by taking advantage of Self Assessment software. GoSimpleTax's tools provide tax-saving recommendations, on top of giving you the means to input your information throughout the year. Additionally, it delivers automatic calculations so you can have full visibility of your financial situation – whether it's the start, middle or end of the tax year.
To get ahead before the 2019/20 tax year comes around, trial our software for 14 days at no cost.

It's official, I'm going on tour with my children's show Mike Belgrave's Krazy Komedy Show 4 Kidz. So far I'm doing the Edinburgh Fringe 31st July – 16th Aug 3.45pm Maggie's Chamber Three Sisters. Then when U get back I'm playing the Leicester Square Theatre in London 2pm Weds 20th Aug and then 21st Aug 1pm The Castle in Bedford.
I'm still negotiating other venues, but that's a tour. A very very small tour, but a tour nonetheless.
Also after months of trying I've finally found a way to play video on a PowerPoint presentation on my android tablet. It's a bit convoluted, but I've finally got there. That save me lugging around my clunky laptop from show to show.

Bret and I instantly connected through writing and in person. We had the same ideologies in life and the same hunger for learning and knowledge. I loved his intellect and southern charm, his kindness and gentleness. Our grander visions in life meshed so well, we became soul mates instantly, although I was stubborn at recognizing this in the beginning!
So after we met, we were attached at the hip, we took some courses together, we played soccer and worked out together, we clubbed together, which I have to stop there and say; my favorite memories were when we would dress to the nines and hit up the raunchiest nightclubs in downtown. We'd go, just us two, and dance dance dance! I love that about us, we didn't care what others thought, we liked the excitment and we liked to let loose together! Anyways, Bret was working at San Francisco Rose on Greenville and I was at Chili's when we first met so we shared common interests in bar tending and restaurants, which made our relationship easier given the long hours and late nights! At that time Bret decided to ditch college, institutionalized education just wasn't for him. He is extremely bright and given his education at Jesuit, he already had a solid foundation. Bret always said he knew he would find his path unintentionally and so his relaxed "go with it" attitude was a perfect match to my overly ambitious quest to plan for my future. Bless him, he would sit and listen to my crazy and spontaneous ideas and carefully and logically try to construct what he was getting into! Those were always loud conversations!
Since Bret and I were around each other constantly, Mirna and Bret formed a friendship of their own and we all three clicked exceptionally well from the get go! Mirna and Bret liked to poke fun at my extra sensitive, gullible and transparent ways, while Bret and I always joked of Mirna's forgetfulness, scatter brain and procrastination!! Mirna was always best at taking stabs at Bret... Bret is like his dad, you get him angry and you get bit hard. My sensitivity doesn't allow for those stabs so I always chose my jokes carefully ;) Mirna was the best roommate a girl could ask for in a best friend. She was clean, respectful, communicative and fun! If I said, "party tonight?" Mirna said, ok! If I said, "wanna make dinner," Mirna said ok! If I said, "Mirna let's go out and run naked down Henderson Ave ( with a little alcohol persuasion)," Mirna would say ok!!! She was my ultimate adventure buddy... we did it all! So when I said, Mirna let's go study in Spain, Mirna said ok ok!!!! So spring 2008, Mirna took "leave from Idle Rich Pub, I left Tecole as it was closing and opening back into Blackfriar Pub, and Bret was hired on as a barback. This was the end of an era and the beginning of a new one!
Mirna and I planned to be in Spain for four months, living with a Senora, Conchita. Traveling together was a new challenge for us, because as you know, it brings out a different side of you. Our relationship was challenged immensely, but we tried to stay positive. Barcelona was a whirlwind to say the least. Parties until sunrise, then head straight to school! Fortunately, I had saved all my electives in college for my senior year and since I had such great grades, my dean allowed me to study away my senior year and take all those electives!!!!( normally you can't study abroad after junior year) so Barcelona was not about school, it was about culture, about differences and similarities, it was about recognizing human connection, as well as realizing my own potential. I met so many amazing people and took such neat classes. When traveling to Morocco we interacted with ladies at the University, we learned how they really felt about the hijab, we interacted with villages no greater than 400 people and learned the struggles they overcame just to get an education. Most students felt bad for these people who seemed to struggle, but I saw no differences in the struggles all humans face at one given time. And, I saw the struggles to be beautiful in a way, overcoming these obstacles gave these people strength and will, it also gave them bravery and stamina. Without struggle, how do you ever find peace? This was my theme throughout my trip. I quite feeling sorry for the way others lived and started to respect them for how they handled these struggles and of course their triumphs. Things we value in the west that mean so much to our every day lives, I noticed, were not missed by many in other places. Who cares about having no Walmart Supercenter, who cares about pooping in a toilet dug in the ground, who cares about having to walk miles to work and did it really matter that families lived together to save money? This was the beginning of my deep love for Cultural Anthropology.
I had a wonderful Anthropology professor in Spain who traveled with us to Morocco. Brilliant man, quiet, full of experiences, but lonely. He was a traveler at heart and seemed to have been roaming for a while. I met a lot of these people. One day while road tripping to Rabat, I asked him if he knew of any tips on traveling on a budget. I had met many backpackers in Europe who seemed to be having adventures of a lifetime and I wanted in on the action; I was already planning a backpacking trip in my head for when I finished school. He gave me a piece of information that changed my life forever. He told me about Couchsurfing. I wrote it down and looked it up when I got back to Barcelona only to find this was my answer to traveling for extended periods of time on a dime!!
I will elaborate on Couchsurfing later, but I can't touch on our studies abroad without mentioning a life altering experience for Mirna. ( and all involved) Mirna and I decided to plan our first weekend trip away from Barcelona and go to London with a couple of friends from the program. We were so excited about seeing another European country for the first time and were anxious from all the other students' stories, since we didn't begin exploring until a month in. So we get to London and our hostel is on the outskirts of edgy and good town. Most hostels I've stayed in exceed the reputation of a shithole, but this one lived up to that name. It was literally being built as we were there! Stinky, dirty, full of people in the halls, outside smoking and in the T.V room! Loud and very very unprotected. Locks didn't work and I wondered about thieves. So we check in and get situated, no mind to the condition of the place because it costed a whole $10 per night! Mirna had made a few complaints about feeling bad and saying her neck was real sore, but I kept insisting it was because she slept with her head down on the airplane tray the whole time! How do people do that! Lol! So that night we explore a bit, but Mirna went to bed early and we thought that was for the better. One intellectual conversation after another, I was up late talking with many guests. ( one reason I love hostels so much, the travelers are sooooo interesting, and you learn a lot from them!) so I was surprised with my lack of sleep, that I was up before Mirna. Mirna decided she must have the flu and said she would hang back and try to get more rest. She had a fever, was nauseous and her body felt sore. We thought the same, so mentioned we'd check on her later if she didn't call first. 4pm roles around and no word from Mirna, we had gotten lost around town and this ruined our plans to swing by and check on her during lunch. Worried, we headed back and couldn't believe what we saw. First of all, I know Mirna like the back of my hand, so when we walked into our 12 person bunk room, and Mirna was laying on her back in the middle of the floor with her arms and legs out wide, I knew something was horribly wrong. Mirna won't even walk barefoot in her own house! There was an innkeeper working there and staying for free, who had commandeered a bed in our room. She had books stacked up tall all around her and was reading a political book when we walked in. I immediately went to Mirna and tried to see why she was passed out on the floor. The girl said she had been there for hours and that she had been moving from bed to bed. Red flags everywhere, Mirna doesn't do things like that! So I tried waking her up, her head in my lap, I am trying to see what's going on. As if she was born yesterday, she was acting like a toddler. Spitting at me, jumbled speech and her eyes, they were glazed. When I realized she had soiled herself I became scared and angry. I was pissed at that girl. She said she just thought Mirna was hungover! So I begin talking to the other girls about what to do. It's sad coming from a country where ambulances cost thousands of dollars, we actually were trying to figure out how to pay for the ride! I snapped out of it when the Canadian innkeeper remarked, I'll call you one, they don't cost here. So instantly I agreed and the ambulance was there quickly. Mirna fought them the whole way, I was too scared to cry, and I could see the fear in their eyes. I knew it was bad. We took the train to the hospital and when we arrived they had given Mirna a spinal tap. She had Bacterial Meningitis, the absolute worst kind, the one that leaves brain damage. The three of us immediately were treated and vaccinated and then sent to a B&B in Chelsea, as sort of a place of incubation. We were under strict rules not to leave for the first two days. The school in Barcelona shut down for two days, while it was quarantined and we learned of another student from another program who came down with it a week later. We partied with that same person before we left. Then we learned an old man had died from meningitis weeks prior in Barcelona. Mirna was in the hospital for a painful two weeks. We came back to Barcelona after one week and had to say goodbye. It was one of the hardest things I've ever done, but Mirna's father was there and that made me feel better. We wondered if she would recover with little to no damage. All the internet articles pointed the other way... she simply had it for too long we thought. Miraculously, Mirna did recover, but had to cut the trip early and go back home to recover fully. It took her I think a good year to physically and mentally recover and I believe the only long term permanent symptom she still has is a constant ringing in her ears. The docs said she was hours from death and if we hadn't acted when we did, she would have died. I've only had a handful of close relatives die so almost losing a friend (sister really) was very eye opening to me. I think it certainly made me feel closer to Mirna on a spiritual level, a stronger energy emerged. A more mature relationship had emerged and it was almost like we knew what was best for each other all of the sudden. We both had the ability to imagine each other's paths and give each other constructive criticism in the best way possible! Mirna and I were beginning to see each other's opportunities, and so after Barcelona we spent the next year settling into our jobs at the pubs and saving money!
After coming home, I felt inclined to have a plan. I needed to formulate what career was best for me and the closest thing I was interested in was Cultural Anthropology. I loved research and thought long term field studies on a particular culture would suit me well, so as soon as I came home, I began thinking of graduate school. However, I knew I wanted a small break between school to work at the Friar and travel and also to give myself a break from the grind! That break from pressure into choosing my next move ended up being one of the best decisions I had made yet.
Coming back to the Blackfriar was heaven sent! The place was an absolute zoo and for anyone wanting to be in the scene, they went there on Friday and Saturday nights. The line to get in would wrap around the corner and serving drinks was hysterical. I remember dodging the crowd with a tray full of drinks by ducking low near everyone's waist, hoping that that round wouldn't crash down because it would take ten more min to fill the order and get it out to your section! Sections were nonexistent after 11pm as the crowd got so heavy everyone resorted to standing and squeezing in like sardines. I loved it! When most waitresses cringed at having to fight the space and fight people walking tabs, I embraced it. Eventually I learned to ditch my trays when I could and got very good at holding many many drinks in my hands. Instead of going back and forth into my section I would take all drink orders in one swoop so wait time was less but I pushed to sell shots because they were short and easy to move. I memorized orders so I didn't have to carry a pen and paper and this made wait time even less.. if I got a drink wrong I would convince the person they needed what I brought them instead! I learned to sell and selling was my strong point. I was able to always convince customers they needed this or that and whether I really knew much about the beer or liquor I sold, I could convince them otherwise! I made lots of buddies and even became a sort of matchmaker, helping guys ask out girls and being the good wing woman/cocktail waitress. I came to really develop relationships with my customers and they ranged from lawyers to accountants, from students to frequent travelers and then the community of folks who lived in Uptown, normally moving in from California and other states or just graduating. I began to tell my customers and friends my dreams and goals of traveling and noticed a big interest from their end. They encouraged me and I soon began to learn that one way to substantiate my actions was to pass my thoughts through them first, sometimes thoughts I would have on the spot. For instance, I would tell someone of my intentions to backpack more and then they would start asking if I've traveled before and I would tell them I studied abroad and before I knew it, I would burst out with, " I'm going on a big trip soon I just don't know where yet," and they would say oh you should go to xy&z! But really that thought of a big trip was way more underdeveloped that I had led to believe! Before too long I had recommendations on places to go and I began looking these places up and taking ideas! I got a journal and began writing down places and tips, as well as resources for traveling and instead of forgetting what I wrote, I would take that info and research what was written. Soon a nice trip began to formulate and I could see a path or plan in the making.
During my first year and a half at Blackfriar something else unfolded I hadn't anticipated; my introduction to Couchsurfing. I came back from Spain in spring 2008, graduated from UTD that December and so by 2009 I had all the time in the world to plan my trip and figure out my next move! Remember that professor who had mentioned Couchsurfing as a wonderful way to travel on a budget? Well, while flipping through my journal from Spain I came across his advice and remembered this could be a way for me to travel frugally on my, then, very loosely planned backpacking trip. So I began looking into how it worked and what I needed to do. For those of you who have never heard of Couchsurfing, CS is a non profit org. Which is a database where travelers can stay with locals wherever they go, for free. The idea is cultural exchange and is for those who love meeting and exploring other people. CS is not for everyone and requires common sense, flexibility, instinct and trust, so with that said it is hard to get involved with CS if you don't actually get involved. The way it works is, you create a profile, which must be complete and detailed, then you acquire feedback from travelers after they stay with you and vice versa. The problem is getting started because most people won't stay with you unless you've had experience and feedback. This was a huge dilemma, I hadn't planned on traveling until my trip but I needed experience and so I began looking for ways to get recommendations and build my account so I could build a good reputation. I soon learned that there were CSing groups in most cities where the locals would meet with all their guests. It was essentially a community of Dallasites and their world travelers who got together weekly at various bars around town. So I began going and meeting these locals. I organized my first meeting at Blackfriar and paid the tab just to introduce myself and make a loud presence. It worked and soon enough I was acquainted with many travelers and hosts who began giving me reviews, by the time I left for my trip I had enough feedback to grab hosts attention abroad!
I had secured my mode of travel, backpacking; I had secured my lodging, the next thing was to figure out my route, my budget and how to stay safe as a single female traveler, especially in most of the countries I had planned to visit. The task seemed daunting but Blackfriar and CSing continued to be my biggest promises to actually making the trip happen.......read more next week and find out what happens!

Instead of preparations pacing up for the elections, there are delays in the process creating hindrances for the authorities to do what the law requires them to. The fact that there are problems in the delimitation of certain constituencies gives rise to the idea that the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) did not perform its duty well. The discrepancies, being pointed out by several lawmakers, push for the need to revisit these constituencies and explain the need for their demarcation. Although the ECP claims that the delimitation was carried out under Section 20 of the Elections Act, Justice Farooq is right in pointing out that altering the proposed plan should be accompanied by reasons for the move. These glitches need to be addressed so that the government machinery can move on to the next phase.
Same is the case with the nomination papers of the election candidates. The fact that it went unnoticed that the parliament grasped the right of maneuvering the nomination papers in their favour, says a lot about the nonchalance with which bills are treated. At the point, the papers do not carry information relevant for the voters to decide their inclination towards. It is crucial information which is missing. If the voter does not know whether or not the candidate is a taxpayer, if he is academically qualified, is not a criminal and has all his assets declared - the criteria for him to judge the candidate on becomes very vague and that should be a cause of concern. At the same time, the fact that parliamentary bodies usurped this right from the ECP to design the election forms without a debate on the issue in the parliament gives rise to the suspicion that these bodies are acting out in personal interest; which is why the court has to step in once again to ensure that all matters are in accordance with the constitution.
This is a huge test for the caretaker PM because issues such as these open the doors for political point scoring and can further aggravate tensions between parties – these are the kinds of problems his administration is meant to solve. It is about time that relevant measures are taken to control the situation so that the planning can move into the next phase and execute in a manner which ensures fair and transparent elections.

Our fleet currently consists of 83 aircraft. The Airbus 321-211, Airbus 321-111, Airbus 320-200, Airbus 319-111 and Embraer 195 aircraft types, as well as the Bombardier Q400, are used on short- and medium-haul routes. When flying on our long-haul routes, meanwhile, you will be enjoying the considerable comforts of a Boeing aircraft of the types 767-300ER or 777-200ER.
How many 777s are there in the Austrian Airlines fleet?
Our aircraft family includes six Boeing 777-200ER. Our 'Triple-Sevens' have all been named, and are called 'Sound of Music', 'Heart of Europe', 'Dream of Freedom', 'Spirit of Austria', 'Blue Danube' and 'Sibanye'. We can transport a total of 306 passengers using this aircraft (38 in Business Class, 24 in Premium Economy Class, and 244 in Economy Class).
For further details of our Boeing 777, just click here. You can also take a virtual guided tour of the cabin by clicking here.
When did the first Boeing 777 take off flying the Austrian Airlines colours, and what was its destination?
To answer this question, we dipped into our archives, where we found the following response:
A Boeing 777-200 took off with an OS flight number for the first time in the 2001 winter flight schedule. This first flight flew via Bangkok to Denpasar, on the Indonesian island of Bali.
How are decisions reached as to which aircraft type, and aircraft, should be deployed on a particular route?
Operational and commercial criteria are used to decide which type of aircraft and which aircraft are scheduled on the various routes. Our Boeing aircraft are used on long-haul routes, when they fly you – amongst other places – to Montréal, Miami, Chicago, Beijing and the Maldives.
Examples of operational criteria include an aircraft's range, and whether a particular slot and gate are available at the desired time. Commercial criteria relate to the level of demand; if more passengers want to fly to New York, for example, then a larger aircraft is used.
What special paintwork is currently being used in the Austrian Airlines fleet?
In June 2019, a total of 10 of our aircraft featured special paintwork:
- Our Airbus 320-200 with the registration OE-LBO is using a retro design from 1988.
- Our Boeing 777-200, registration OE-LPF, is cruising above the clouds in the special '60 Years' design.
- Our Boeing 777-200 with the registration OE-LPE is adorned with special paintwork showing greetings on its left forward fuselage.
- Our Boeing 777-200 with the registration OE-LPD also has special paintwork on the left fuselage featuring the lettering 'mySound of Austria' and an image of a flight attendant.
- A further six aircraft made by the manufacturers Airbus, Bombardier and Embraer use the Star Alliance colours when flying.
All this talk of 'registrations' – what exactly are these, and what's the logic behind them?
Aircraft have individual aircraft registrations. On a car, the 'registration' would be its number plate. In aviation, registrations are assigned according to a certain system, which varies in many countries. In Austria, this is as follows:
Here's how the registrations in our fleet are created:
- Boeing 777-200ER à OE-LP_
- Boeing 767-300ER à OE-LA_
- Airbus 321 and Airbus 320 à OE-LB_
- six Airbus 320 á 'OE-LX_'
- Airbus 319-111 à OE-LD_
- Embraer 195 à OE-LW_
- Bombardier Q400 à OE-LG_
So many exciting questions, so many exciting answers! If you think you might like to take a flight sometime soon, you'll find the connections that are right for you by clicking here:

Microsoft is still making a lot of money, but the company is doing with Surface, Windows 10 and its cloud platform, and definitely not Windows phones.
In fact, Lumia phones sales are down by more than half of what they were a year ago, according to the Redmond company's latest financial earning, in all totaling $6.3 billion (about £4.39b, AU$8.89b) in profit and $20.4 billion (about £14.21b, AU$28.80b) in revenue.
It sold 4.5 million Windows phones in the second fiscal quarter of 2016, down from the 10.5 million it sold during the same 90 days a year ago. Contrast that with the record 74.8 million iPhones sold by Apple.
All of this is despite the fact that Microsoft launched two Windows 10 Mobile phones at the end of 2015, the Microsoft Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL.
Microsoft Surface sales spike
Luckily for Microsoft, its declining Lumia sales aren't its bread and butter. That distinction belongs to the Surface tablets and new laptop, as well as its cloud platform and Windows 10 software.
Microsoft Surface revenue was up 29% year-over-year, totaling $1.35 billion (about £94m, AU$1.91b). Office 365 subscribers grew to 20.6 million and Windows 10 is now on more than 200 million devices.
The launch of Microsoft Surface Pro 4, Surface Book and the new operating system helped lift the declining sales of its Lumia line.
Interestingly, there have been rumors that Microsoft will retire the Lumia brand name and launch a fully features Surface phone in hopes of turning around that unceremoniously halved sales number.
- This is what the LG G5 probably looks like

Another version of the Pop Up Presents card I shared yesterday… I am not sure that the photos do this card justice – it is a real WOW in the flesh…
More papers from the NEW Fresh Prints DSP stack. This time in Real Red & Crumb Cake – so more suitable for the males and teens in our life!
You can see the little part-punched pieces more clearly in this colourway – check out the extra embellishments on those little banners in the Glimmer Red– straights, chevrons; and layered banners – I can use any tiny scrap to add layers to my banners …. you never need to throw away a scrap of card or paper again!!!!
Remember just a £45 order will get you this Banner Punch for free….!!!
Here is the detailed imperial version by Lisa Young that I used . But I converted the measurements to a metric version for use in a standard European A6 card...
So for the inner insert - you will need…
Whisper White Cardstock 8" x 140mmW
Scored & Folded at 4"
You can mark & cut as Lisa has - but I used a trimmer to do the cutting – I find that much easier – so the folded edge of the insert is placed LANDSCAPE up to the top horizontal ruler bar of the trimmer , lined up to a measurement and then you use the vertical cutter bar to make the cuts!
A quick tip though – I found that cutting 2/3 times ensured that my trimmer went all the way through the 2 layers of card neatly – though maybe that was just a sign of me needing to replace my blade!!! Going back to repeat when you discover that the blade hasn't quite cut through makes for a messy cut!!
So for the first cut – line up your folded edge LANDSCAPE on the top ruler bar at 2 cm – locate your blade at 5cm on the cutter bar – and cut up from 5 cm to the top – ie 0
Then at 6cm on the top - cut from 5 cm to 0
Then at 9 1/2cm on the top - cut from 3 1/2cm to 0
Then at 12cm on the top - cut from 2 cm to 0
And a quick pictorial for those of you that prefer a visual.
The paper strips are of course a different size. As Lisa says though – do measure the lengths you need for each section and then trim – no 2 presents were ever the same. For class – I cut my pieces a bit longer so people could then trim to suit the width on their own creation. So these are the measurements with ( hopefully) a bit of overhang….. about 1/2 cm
Paper Sizes – 4 cm H x 10.5cm W; 3.5cmH x 7.5cm W; 2.5cm H x 4.5cm W
SU! Products Used
Stamps – Perfectly Penned
Papers – Fresh Prints DSP Stack (SSC); Red Shimmer
Cards & Inks – Real Red; Crumb Cake; Soft Suede
Punches – Banner (SAB)
Dies – Alphabet

Supermarkets failed to inspire shoppers to buy Valentine's Day gifts
Supermarkets failed to inspire shoppers to buy Valentine's Day gifts
41% of shoppers bought their partner something for Valentine's Day. Although the majority of shoppers didn't participate in gift-exchanging, those who did were likely to buy these items from grocery retailers (77% of Valentines-shoppers bought their products from grocery retailers).
This format is more on the agenda for males; 35% of men were likely to buy their partners something from grocery stores, yet only 27% of women chose this retail format. It could be that men feel less intimidated buying from supermarkets (somewhere they're comfortable with) rather than going into an unknown world (luxury department store, for example). Whereas women are more relaxed with shopping elsewhere.
For those who shopped in grocery stores, women were likely to just pick up a card or gift wrap, whereas men went for the full package (confectionary, alcohol, flowers etc.). Men and women have significantly different needs when buying gifting items from supermarkets
With Mother's day fast approaching, if we should expect similar figures to Valentine's Day then 41% of shoppers will be buying gifts (from somewhere) for Sunday March 15th. Grocery retailers may have some work to do in order to (A) encourage 59% of shoppers to purchase items for the special day and (B) inspire shoppers to buy for the occasion in THEIR store…
Retailers should continue to please male shoppers by prompting the convenience and familiarity of buying along with their food shop "While you're here…". But in order to engage female shoppers, focus on highlighting that the quality is good enough to give to their Mother "Give her a luxurious gift she deserves".

This meal of the week is rather different. Although I have aimed this at bodybuilders on a pre contest diet, this recipe is amongst the the best choices anybody with decline plans who're after a tasty meal idea.
Evacuation was still voluntary, however the firefighters said it would be advisable to get out now. We called our youngsters and Dad and said excitedly to meet us at the base of the mountain recorded at a local hotel for the night time. No one expected the homes to burn. We assumed we'd be during our house within a couple of days. We left food out for Baby Ruth since she was nowhere to be seen, and commenced our waiting out the fire.
Almonds are an exceptional food. Within an era when milk was promoted simply because major involving calcium, From the as a refusing to drink any milk in. I grew up in Singapore and Hong Kong where the main involving milk was a dried milk formula by Cow & Gate which could not drink. In their desperation to assist me healthy my mother would make a chocolate mix to have with the milk but i still avoided it. Now i know why I always loved almonds; they are so incredibly full of calcium and phosphorous which build strong bones and are also associated with protein. Later in life, I realised that children fed with cow's milk grew substantially as be taller than me but where I never had a weight problem, hardly ever did.
It is considered that some agents in Thailand will collect a 5% fee for their services. But to obtain a potential buyer, they have spent associated with money marketing budget such as advertising assistance promote the developer. Developers need agents to sell their property so they'll almost never sell behind the agents back. Is going to also cost them lots of economic in the future, once the act is know and so it always belly to the surface. You is able to go direct towards developer and often will not have any direct advantage of that, surely not momentarily.

Usain Bolt Is The Best Thing To Happen To The A-League In Ages
When was the last time we talked about the A-League in its off-season?
It seems not everyone is happy that Jamaican sporting superstar Usain Bolt is coming to the Central Coast. But they should be.
Since it was confirmed that Bolt would be joining the Central Coast Mariners for an indefinite training trial, plenty of pundits have piled in on the decision, calling it a 'PR stunt', a 'money grab' and a 'gimmick'.
Such views are short sighted.
Any PR and marketing professional will tell you that the key to sustained success is to develop strong, trusting relationships with your customers and fans. But to do this, you first have to get the attention of those customers and make sure they know you exist. In Australia's over-crowded sports market this is hard to do.
So, sports will try all sorts of tools and tactics to get you talking about their product. And so they should.
When the AFL embarked on new ventures on the Gold Coast and in Western Sydney, they stole a couple of well-known rugby league players in Karmichael Hunt and Israel Folau to set tongues wagging about their brand new teams.
The following days and weeks saw the AFL in the news and on the back pages of papers in a market that otherwise couldn't give a damn about the game.
Neither athlete was much good at the game, but the AFL will argue the media and PR generated in introducing new fans made the punt worthwhile.
The Bolt announcement has had a similar impact. In the A-League's off season and just weeks out from NRL and AFL finals, the A-League is front and centre of the sporting discussion. If Bolt makes the cut, the fanfare around his first game will be huge.
And let's be honest, while football is the world game, the A-League continues to battle for the hearts and minds of Australian sports fans. There were times last year when the AFLW -- a competition in only its second season -- out rated the A-League on TV.
If Bolt can help draw new eyeballs to the League that can only be a good thing, for it's not true that a sport, league or club is always bigger than the individual.
Australians went ga-ga when Jarryd Hayne tried his hand in the NFL. It seemed most were more mesmerized by the fact an Australian rugby league player was playing in the NFL than the actual game itself.
And if you're still not convinced, consider this: A Forbes report last year revealed Bolt has a total of 31.1 million social media followers. Australia's population is only 25 million. The Mariners have a social media following of around 100,000.
On average Bolt generates almost 282,000 interactions from his sponsored posts online, with each post valued at $351,000. His overall total earned media value online is estimated to be $68.1 million.
If he makes the cut he'll be the most valuable athlete playing in an Australian domestic sports competition by the length of the Flemington straight.
The bloke is a genuine A-grade, global superstar. And he wants to play in the A-League.
This will attract new fans to game and that's a good thing.

Is this Denise Welch's lover? Celebrity Big Brother winner accused of 'cheating on husband Tim Healy with party planner' Lincoln Townley
After winning Celebrity Big Brother on Friday, Denise Welch is looking forward to spending time with her family.
But the actress's 23-year marriage is set to be rocked by new claims Welch has been having an eight month affair with a party planner.
The Sunday Mirror alleges the mother-of-two, 53, has been secretly seeing party organiser Lincoln Townley, 39, since last year.
Toyboy: Denise and Lincoln Townley are believed to have had an eight-month romance
A friend of Townley told the newspaper that Welch met Townley at the Jet Black club in London last April after filming Loose Women and had even spent the night with her before she went into the Celebrity Big Brother house.
They added: 'They started seeing each other on a casual basis. Lincoln said she was the same away from the cameras as she was on TV. He saw the Loose Woman in her come out when they were partying together.'
The friend added that Denise would stay at his home occasionally but they would mostly spend time in her hotel room near the Loose Women studios after the show had been filmed and then she would head home to Cheshire the following day.
Trouble? Denise Welch, pictured last November in Manchester, has been accused of cheating on her husband Tim Healy
'Lincoln said they have a great time together, the age difference doesn't matter. She is a party girl, without doubt. He loves being with her because she's such great fun. It was very casual and all about having fun. Lincoln enjoyed it because there was no emotional stress.'
Lincoln is even believed to have told friends that he was surprised that Denise never tried to hide their relationship and they were always seen together at bars and restaurants in central London.
But by the early autumn, the friend said their relationship started to get more serious and Denise began talking openly about her marriage problems and said she felt she was living a 'double life'.
Denise issued a statement tonight, reading: 'It's Tim's 60th Birthday and we are celebrating that and the fact that mummy is home after 3 weeks in the BB house. We are not interested in the Sunday Mirror Article.'
Celebration: Denise threw her arms in in the air in jubilation after being declared the winner of Celebrity Big Brother on Friday night
Ever the exhibitionist: Denise couldn't resist one last flash of her ample assets as she left the house
News of the alleged affair comes two months after Healy, 59, was rushed to hospital for surgery on his blocked arteries.
At the time, Welch said: 'I didn't need reminding how much I love Tim but something like this has made us both stop, think and re-evaluate everything.'
Fans of Welch will know the actress has been open about her previous affairs on Loose Women and in her autobiography.
In an interview last May, Welch said: 'There is a perception that Tim is the long-suffering husband and I'm bad Denise. It's not true. We've both, by our own admission, strayed.
Wedding bells: Denise and Tim at their 1988 wedding at Haringey Registry Office
'But we have both chosen to remain together because it's what we want. Marriage is tough...We've admitted our mistakes and have been together 22 years.
Lover: Carpenter Steve Murray, who Denise admitted to having an affair with - Healy found out after she left a message for him which was meant for Steve
'Tim's not easy, I'm not easy but we understand each other, we have a lot of good times and we are a unit.'
In her 2010 autobiography, Welch admitted to an affair with a toyboy named Steve Murray, while her husband was away filming Auf Wiedersehen, Pet.
She recalled her affair being found out by Healy when she accidentally left a message for Murray on her husband's answermachine.
She wrote in her book Pulling Myself Together: 'I called him back and left a message: "Hi, darling, it's me. What a nightmare that we can't get together, I will try to nip off if I can. Speak to you later. Thanks. Love you!"
'Then Tim phoned half an hour later: "Hi, darling!" I said. "I want a divorce. You have left a message for your boyfriend on my answer phone," he replied.
'My insides turned over and I wanted to be sick. Instantly I realised my mistake: I had dialled Tim instead of Steve and left a message that ended with "Love you!" It was clearly for someone other than Tim, and clearly directed at a man.'
But the couple decided to put the affair behind them for the sake of their family.
She said: 'I think our marriage became stronger after that. It was a turning point in as much as we realised we had to make more time for each other.'

I discovered that the position increment gap on indexing is only applied between values when there are existing terms indexed for the document. I suspect this logic wasn't deliberate, it's just how its always been for no particular reason. I think it should always apply the gap between fields. Reference DocInverterPerField.java line 82: > if (fieldState.length > 0) > fieldState.position += docState.analyzer.getPositionIncrementGap(fieldInfo.name); > This is checking fieldState.length. I think the condition should simply be: if (i > 0). > I don't think this change will affect anyone at all but it will certainly help me.

After waiting what seemed like an eternity for the 2nd coming of the Avengers, the Age of Ultron is finally upon us and it was worth the wait.
I did not see the first film in theaters and I don't feel that I missed out on anything. I've since watched it at least 3 times and own the Blu-ray, so I'm obviously fond of it. Yet, when compared to Age of Ultron, it doesn't seem to be nearly as impressive and here are some of my thoughts as to why…
What Is It About?
I wanted to show this trailer to give everyone who hasn't seen it a better glimpse at what the movie is about without ruining everything. (trailers #2 and #3 seem to give too many glimpses to what you can expect from the film etc.) *Side note, this trailer is one of the better trailers in a long while because of its use of lyrics and music to set the upcoming movie's tone.
We're thrown back into the Marvel Cinematic Universe with the Avengers picking up roughly not too long after where Winter Soldier left us, protecting the planet by seeking out and hunting down the last remaining remnants of SHIELD/HYDRA. After defeating their most recent encounter of some HYDRA thugs, the Avengers find time to celebrate said victory only to be thrust back into conflict with something that they had a hand in creating. Ultron, an advanced Artificial Intelligence, has come to life, and with his birth he brings forth the imminent extinction of the human race. It's up to the World's Mightiest Heroes to band together and vanquish this new threat before Ultron rips them apart from the inside out.
Why It Worked
They've Already Assembled
With the abundance of superhero movies at our disposal nowadays, it's great to be able to watch one that doesn't deal with new origin stories or starting from scratch. Half the reason Captain America: Winter Soldier worked so well is due largely in part because they didn't have to tell Steve Rodger's story all over again. The audience already knows who the key players are and now have the chance to watch those personalities develop into something more than just superheroes. We get history/back-stories and more personal details about some of the Avengers that we had nothing on before (I'm looking at you Black Widow) that really help to bring them down to another level for the audience to dig into. On top of further character development you come to realize that the Avengers are like a well oiled machine. Each Avenger is awesome on their own but they work even better when paired with other teammates – presenting the idea of how the group is stronger as a whole. (see in particular how Captain America and Thor take on baddies)
By the way – Hawkeye finally gets some love this time around more so than you might think. I'd delve into it but I'm doing my best to keep this spoiler free.
Comedy Is Key
The first Avengers outing had it's moments of comedic brilliance, but the Avengers: Age of Ultron out shines its predecessor with a plethora of comedic one-liners and quips. Even during outrageous battle sequences Joss Whedon (the director for those not in the know) is able to sprinkle in just the right amount of "fun" in order to keep the movie from ever becoming too heavy. From cast cameos and hilarious and well-written banter between key figures, I found myself laughing more than I would've thought I could during a comic book movie. It's something that helps to define the Marvel approach when comparing it to what DC seem to be doing with their respective entities. Sure a serious tone works (Nolan's Batman trilogy) but sometimes too much brooding and darkness overwhelm the experience and keeps the audience from actually having fun at the movies. When it was over, I walked out of this film grinning ear to ear because of that simple point – it was FUN!
(case in point – watch the video below … it doesn't ruin anything I promise)
Well Sequenced Action
Do comic book movies have plenty of action? Sure. Do they have too much action? Sometimes. Part of what turned me off from the first Avengers was the explosion of action from one scene to the next. So much that by the time the last fight came around my patience was wavering. Maybe it was due to me not knowing what to expect but it felt like it was just one long explosion after another. This time around I felt that Joss really wanted to explore a lot of different facets in the Marvel lore and not just give us the eyegasms we endured from the first outing. Not that those eyegasms were bad, that's not what I'm trying to illustrate. What I mean is that the action sequences seemed to be placed at the right moments and were strung out for the right amount of time in order to pick up the pacing without letting the movie drag. It never prompted me to want a break or to glance at my watch. The action sequences were also quite interesting and unique compared to some of the other Marvel movies we've seen lately. The brawl between Iron Man and the Hulk was a particular favorite of mine – one that I can't wait to see again. (for example We've seen Iron Man in 4 different films up to this point and just when you think you've seen every trick up Tony Stark's sleeve, think again)
Different Villain
Watching the first trailer with Ultron's voiceover I felt like he was going to be more on the robotic side than human. That was all torn away with our first 10 minutes with him because not only does he act human, he almost has lips which gives the "robot/android/artificial intelligence thing" a whole other dimension. One that I wasn't expecting and at first was turned off by, but as the movie rolled on, I found myself enjoying him as a character more and more. Mainly because the voice talent behind Ultron (James Spader) was the perfect selection for it. There are times where he's clever/witty and at other times completely sinister which all seemed to blend effortlessly within the context of what made up Ultron. If you have seen the show the Blacklist, then I'm guessing you might have an idea of what you're getting into with Ultron. Granted I wish we could've had more time with the new Avengers villain, but with so many characters having to share the screen I think they did the best they could.
Why It Might Not Work
I'm going to spare you any images for this section because frankly I don't have a lot to nit pick here. (surprising I know)
Too Many People Involved
So, I think my biggest complaint would be that while it's fun to see so many people involved in a movie, it gets a tad bit overwhelming at times and some characters take a hit and lose focus within the narrative. It becomes increasingly frustrating when they introduce new members (aka Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver – though they never call either one of them that) to the franchise that is already teeming with plenty of main and supporting talent. For example, Thor only had roughly 14 minutes of screen time – that's about 6 minutes shy of Vision, and he wasn't in most of the film until the last battle sequence. (I'd also mention other characters that didn't get near enough screen time but for the sake of ruining anything I'll just say that there were at least 2 more that I could point out that were cut short or were left with too many questions as to who they were or why they were involved…)
Thor's Weak Tie-In to Infinity Wars/Thanos
Speaking of the God of Thunder … Thor has a little mind trip event and I'm not sure what we're meant to take from it. Maybe it's partly due to the bad editing of these "mind trip" segments or the fact that Thor goes off with his doctor friend to find a pool on the planet Earth that seems to have magical powers … but none of his little sub-plot seems to stack up and make much sense. Ya know why? BECAUSE WE DON'T HARDLY SEE THOR OR WHATEVER HE'S DOING!? (and don't even get me started on when Thor just happens to show up out of nowhere and knows exactly what to do with a certain coffin shaped box) Again, this ruins absolutely nothing because unless you've been living under a rock – you should already know that the Infinity Wars along with the "mega baddie" Thanos are coming in the near future. (*hint – stay for about 3 mins into the end credits to get another look at Thanos – no big shocker there)
Scar-Jo <3 Big Green?
Was this even necessary? Did it help push the plot further (within this movie) in any way? No, probably not. While watching the film it honestly never bothered me but I don't recall a single comic (that I've read mind you) that ever had Black Widow and the Hulk becoming anything but friends or even contemplating it. I get the motive behind it, and how they tried to use the relationship part of it to blend themes together within the film's many layers, but it felt forced. This is largely because there was nothing hinting to this from the first film and it just seemed like a new idea that happened to be use as a plot device more than anything else to help with upcoming film possibilities. (this might not be to any fault of the director or writers but more so on Disney/Marvel making sure they milk their mega cash cow for everything they can)
Plot Holes
As with any big blockbuster money maker, there happen to always be holes that people will point out and make into much more of an issue than they need to be. I'm typically no exception to this rule but because I had so much fun with this movie I think I'll just say this. Are there plot holes? Yep, there sure are! (the internet and Ultron) Will they ruin the overall fun and experience you have with this film? Nope, none whatsoever. If you end up focusing more on the plot holes then you have my pity and you need to lighten up. It is, in fact, a comic book movie, and comic books by nature have many holes in their stories that no one seems as quick to point out as they do with counterpart films.
Jeeze Lucas – Wrap It Up!
When it's all said and done I had a blast with this movie. There were moments that caught me completely off guard, there were moments I felt my jaw starting to get sore from smiling too much and there were even emotional moments that were touching more than I could've expected out of a comic book movie. When you consider all that, it's pretty clear that I had a one helluva time at the cinema. It was the first time in a long time that I would've been up for jumping right back in line to sit through it all again in the same night.

Every science has its beginnings in myth and folklore. Early dental practices, in particular, are deeply tied to the mysticism surrounding the teeth and tongue. Because the mouth is the center of speech and nourishment, diverse cultures treat dental events in their lives with respect.
There is a universal human belief that teeth confer power. These remedies and practices were intended to cultivate that power-by keeping teeth for a lifetime. The same spirit-much refined-motivates modern dentistry.
For relief, boil earthworms in oil and pour into the ear on the side where there is pain (Pliny, 77 AD).
Pour juice of onions by drops into the mouth, bite a piece of wood struck by lightning (ibid.).
Put tobacco in the armpit; hold a heated root of a birch on the cheek; or hold a small frog against the cheek or lick a toad's abdomen (Norwegian folklore).
Lay roasted parings of turnips, as hot as they may be, behind the ear; keep the feet in warm water, and rub them well with bran, just before bedtime (John Wesley, 1747).
"Round the tooth to be drawn, he fastened a strong piece of catgut; to its other end he affixed a bullet. Then he charged a pistol with this bullet and a full measure of powder. The firing performed a speedy and effectual removal of the offending tooth" (Dr. Monsey, 1788).
In the US and Europe, the blacksmith did extractions, presumably because they had the "proper tools."
"If one had a tooth extracted, it must be burned, because, if a dog got it and swallowed it, one would have a dog's tooth come in its place" (Dr. Holmes, 1862).
To clean the teeth, rub them with the ashes of burnt bread (Poor Will's Almanack, 1780).
To stable and steadfast the teeth, and to keep the gummes in good case, it shall be very good every day in the morning to wash well the mouth with red wine (London, 1598).
In parts of England, the superstition persists: one prevents a toothache by "clothing one's right leg prior to the left" (G.P. Foley, 1972).
To make the teeth of children grow hastily, take the brain of a hen and rub the gums therewith. It shall make them grow without any sorrow or diseases or aching (London, 1934).
Roast the brains of a rabbit and rub a small amount on the gums (US, 1942).
People are living longer and keeping their natural teeth more than ever before. The advances in tooth retention, the desire to look one's best, and higher expectations about oral health have raised dental awareness among older adults.
With the significant increase in the older portion of society, with even greater increases expected, more older adults will have more teeth that are susceptible to root caries. Root caries may emerge as one of the most significant dental problems among older adults during the next decade. A recent study conducted by the National Institute for Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) showed that over half of older adults have decayed or filled root surfaces. The frequency of root caries is strongly age-dependent and will continue to be a major dental problem among the elderly.
Root caries lesions can be caused by new or primary root caries, caries around existing dental fillings or recurrent caries, and abrasion or erosion of the root surfaces. Root caries progress quickly due to the relatively soft nature of the root surface, as well as the risk factors associated with the incidence of root caries.
Risk factors associated with the high prevalence of root caries among older adults include decrease salivary flow or xerostomia, exposure of root surfaces due to periodontal (gum) disease, chronic medical conditions, radiation treatment for head and neck cancer, physical limitations, and diminished manual dexterity due to stroke, arthritis, or Parkinson's disease, cognitive deficits due to mental illness, depression, Alzheimer's disease or dementia, Sjögren's syndrome (an autoimmune disease), diabetes, poor oral hygiene, multiple medication use, and changes in dietary habits. One or more of these risk factors or life changes, which are more common among older adults, can increase root caries in an individual who has not had dental caries for many years.
Root caries can be a challenge for the dentist to treat depending on the size and the type of root caries lesion, the extent and rate of caries activity for that person, the physical and mental condition of the individual, and where the root caries are located in the mouth. Many root lesions have limited accessibility and visibility, are often more complicated by pre-existing extensive dental work, and are difficult to isolate from oral fluids during the restoration process. Also, many people who have widespread root lesions have limited tolerance for dental treatment because of medical conditions, illness, and mental health problems.

Preparing to separate
Nobody goes into a relationship with plans for a future separation, so when things go wrong, few couples are prepared. The end of a relationship, no matter how amicable, is fraught with emotions, whether it's sadness, grief or, where there's been friction, anger or fear.
That can make it difficult to discuss what happens next. However hard it may be, there are a few key issues that, if considered early on, could pave the way to reach an amicable split.
1: Finances
This is always a touchy subject, but must be tackled. Immediate issues such as where you will be living and who will pay the mortgage, rent or bills while the overall financial settlement is sorted out, should be agreed at an early stage. If there are children, it can be devastating to have to cope with moving house straight away, as well as dealing with their parents' separation.
It may be necessary for you to continue to live under the same roof, in which case some ground rules need to be set at the outset and respected.
Simply cutting all financial support may be tempting to those feeling bitter or hurt, but is likely to lead to mortgage or rent arrears and even repossession of the family home. Your spouse might be forced to claim maintenance through formal channels, which is unlikely to set a good background for future discussions.
Benefits may be available to one of you now that you are living separately and can take the immediate pressure off you both financially, while the longer-term arrangements are worked out.
Good communication about who is to use a bank account or credit card, who will be responsible for any big payments coming up, e.g. a holiday booked before the decision to split was made, can also avoid misunderstandings or financial problems.
2: Children
Continuity is key for the children and usually keeping in touch with both parents and the extended family on both sides is essential, even where one parent has moved out of the family home. In situations where domestic violence is an issue, expert advice at an early stage is needed. Try and agree the arrangements for the immediate future, even if the long-term situation is unclear.
Take advice from organisations, such as Kids in the Middle or Family Lives, about how to talk the children through the decision to separate. This will help to reassure them that they are not to blame and are still loved by both parents.
It is vitally important to remember that the children should not be involved in your dispute, so talking to them about the issues that you are struggling to agree on or making comments about the other parent is unhelpful and can cause children unnecessary anxiety.
3: Joint possessions
If one of you is leaving the home temporarily, are there any items which they wish or need to take with them now? If there are children, it is usually better for the home to remain as normal as possible in the immediate aftermath of a decision to separate, rather than to be stripped of furniture or items which the children may enjoy using.
Who should use the family car? If it's necessary to share it while long-term plans are made a decision will need to be made that gives both partners reasonable use.
Dividing the contents of the house can be a surprisingly emotive subject, so, ideally, it is best left until later on, after emotions have settled and it is clear where everyone will be living.
4: Communication
Plans for how to keep the lines of communication open are especially important when kids are involved. This includes when it's OK to call the other at work and when it's not. Children need to feel that Mum and Dad may not be living together, but they're not actively out to hurt each other.
If there are no children involved things may be different, but being able to communicate without things descending into insults is important. What could you do to keep things on a 'grown-up' level?
If you really find all this just too much to handle, you may benefit from a mediation session with an unbiased third-party who can help you both to deal with the practicalities and manage the emotional issues.

I live in California, now facing a drought of as yet unprecedented scope, that may not be over for a long time, if ever. We may be looking at a series of changes that will twist this beautiful state into another social shape, and completely alter its economy. How we react to that, how any place reacts to significant alteration, such as the globalization of our world's cultures, will be seen, and felt, in the way we accoutre ourselves.
I will, in my own small way, always give you hope.
Post script.
My thanks to the love of my life, Jim.
