We're still in the dead of summer where I live, with extremely hot temperatures still reminding us that its not quite autumn just yet.

She worked in the kitchens of a private hospital at the time, and she'd slipped over on some stray food and landed awkwardly. We thought she'd maybe sprained something, but we were in for quite a surprise when it turned out that she'd actually broken her ...

One important point to note while growing your online business is to consider how easily you can prompt your customers to talk about your product.

A better way to make them stick with your site is to hide product prices on your store. Читать дальше...

Someone's gone and lost their job
Made redundant in a flash
Peace and comfort sadly gone
Plans and dreams now turned to ash
Joins the ever growing queue
Fighting for a chance to work
It is likely they will fail
Where's the love we gladly shirk.

While PM Benjamin Netanyahu is trying to find a way to break the "plonter" and form some sort of government, despite how bleak it looks, he held a meeting with the heads of the various right wing parties this evening and proposed they go as a front, with him as their agreed-upon representative, and negotiate as a united bloc of 55 seats.

From Letting Agent Today:

An influential think tank [the Institute for Public Policy Research] says Capital Gains Tax on buy to let properties and second homes should be levied at the higher rate of the income tax of the owner. Meanwhile the annual exempt allowance of £12,000 on CGT should be slashed to £1,000...
