"More tax & Pension changes" Mr Osborne's summer budget 2015

Mr Osborne holding a budget box

George Gideon Oliver Osborne is a British politician and member of the Conservative Party also Second Lord of the Treasury and the Member of Parliament (MP) for Tatton. The Chancellor Mr Osborne has said he'll uncover the first Budget of a majority Conservative government on 8th July 2015. 4 months after his last Budget, the Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne plans more tax and pension changes for his first fully 'Tory' statement and he will detail the £12billion of spending cuts that were promised as part of the Conservative manifesto. The Conservative Party have set this 2015 second Budget for 08th July, the 1st Budget fully controlled by a Tory government in eighteen years. While the party has already make some radical changes, particularly around pensions and ISAs, that doesn’t mean there isn’t scope for more. Mr George Gideon Oliver Osborne is loyal on getting rid of Britain's debt, he has already announced plans to sell off taxpayer stakes in RBS, Lloyds Bank and Royal Mail to pay off debt.

“I am going to take the unusual step of having a second Budget of the year
 because I don’t want to wait to turn the promises we made in the election into a reality,”

Pensions tax relief cut

The amount of annual pension tax relief available to the highest earners is set be whittled down to £10,000 from £40,000 a year. Ian Price, director at wealth manager St. James's Place has advised those who could be affected to act now. He said: “It might be worth bringing forward planned contributions to before the Budget to secure tax relief at current rates.

                Income tax

The party went one step further and pledged to increase the threshold at which you pay 40% higher rate tax to £50,000. Following the lead of the Liberal Democrats, their former coalition partner, the Tories adopted the policy of increasing the personal allowance, meaning no income tax is paid on the first £12,500 you earn.

               Cuts to child tax credits

The Chancellor has credits for working families in his firing line, according to reports. It's thought that he wants to take credits back to the levels seen in 2003/4, with scope for inflation, in a move that would save the nation's coffers £5billion. Those backing the idea have said the reduction would incentivise parents to work.

"i want him to retire" Joe Gallagher

Paul Smith’s future is in doubt and at this point Smith’s trainer Joe Gallagher wants him to retire from boxing. Gallagher opinion is as he feels like the 32-year-old Smith has nothing else left to prove. In addition Paul Smith has just been involved with three consecutive big fights against Ward and Arthur Abraham [twice], and there’s really not much else Smith can do at this point other than hang around and fight domestic level. As well After the beating he took from WBA super middleweight champion slick American Andre Ward last Saturday night in their catch-weight fight at 172 pounds English professional boxer Paul Smith Jr future is in dubiousness.

Smith admits he considered retirement as he prepares for title showdown with Abraham

 

On the assumption that Smith Jr does retire, he’ll at least have fought opposition at the upper rungs of the 168lb division, even if he lost each time he fought the best. Except if Smith is satisfied just facing domestic level defiance, he’s better off retiring, for the reason the chances of him getting another inflated ranking like the one that he previously had in order to get two cracks at the WBO title in opposition to Arthur Abraham are extremely remote.

Gallagher wasn't surprised with how the fight panned out and now feels it's time for his fighter to hang up the gloves and go "out to one of the best on the planet". "I’ve told Paul to probably consider retiring now," said Gallagher. "He came into being boxing when he was 9 or 10-years old and to have 22-years in the sport and go out to Andre Ward, it’s hard to come back and stay motivated again. Paul Smith Jr’s going to take time out now. His wife is due a baby in the summer and i’d advise him to go and work full-time for Sky."

Joe Gomez in Andre Wisdom out | Liverpool defender future could be in doubt?

Joe Gomez | Brendan Rodgers | Andre Wisdom

Brendan Rodgers who is the current manager of Premier League club Liverpool is going to need to make a decision between Charlton Joseph Dave "Joe" Gomez and Andre Alexander Shaquille Wisdom on before the transfer window shuts. Liverpool Football Club's new signing Joe Gomez As young talented English defenders for LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND. The former Swansea boss would have been hard pushed to find one as similar as Wisdom and now faces the difficult decision of what to do with both players going into the new season.


We take a look at two key questions:-

1)who is going to be first choice in next season - Are Gomez or Wisdom?

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers will get the chance to look at both players in pre-season and then he can make a decision on who is best suited to play in the first team next season. If Gomez falls below the required standard, it’s likely he will sent out on loan to a Championship club in order for another year’s experience. However, if Wisdom shows himself to be the lesser of the two then his long-term future will be less clear.

2)Andre and Joe going to be employed in Which position?

Andre Wisdom has spent the majority of his two loan spells at West Brom and Derby County playing at right-back, despite showing the qualities more suited to a centre-back. Whereas, Joe Gomez has been largely brought up playing at the heart of the defence, with the odd cameo on the right hand side.

‘ I’m not scared’ Message to Gennady Golovkin.

Andre Ward discuss

"Hey, Ward, wake up! Why are you talking trash about other people? Gennady Golovkin blasts Andre Ward and then Andre Ward’s message to Gennady Golovkin: ‘Stop lying to the people. I’m not scared’. Gennady wasn't too happy to hear Ward saying that he's making excuses to avoid a fight, and Gennady fires back in epic proportion. Andre Ward discuss Gennady Golovkin ahead of his clash with Paul Smith this Saturday. Andre Ward almost retired from boxing but now promises a ‘rude awakening’ for Paul Smith. Andre Ward came close to hanging up his gloves during his hiatus, writes George Gigney.

Every once in a while we get a little gem. Gennady Golovkin is apparently fed up with Andre Ward insinuating that he is trying to avoid a fight with him, and takes off his 'good boy' mask and rips right into Ward. Now when I first heard about this, it was a little hard for me to believe because of Gennady's easygoing persona, but when I heard what he said it made it well worth the effort to get translated. “All I can do is what I could do which was dedicate myself, focus and as you look at some of the greats like Floyd Mayweather and Muhammad Ali, who took three years out, it’s been done before.”

Georges St-Pierre (GSP) Rush is the face of the mma! UFC - Ultimate Fighting Championship.

GSP vs Superman

Who wins in life? GSP vs Superman? Was Georges St-Pierre the greatest Mixed Martial Artist Fighter ever to grace the Octagon? Will there ever be another GSP? Is he his name as good as Superman's? Is he the hero we all strive to be or is there another fighter who did a better job of becoming the real life Superman?

UFC President Dana Frederick White, Jr. offered Georges St. Pierre a main event fight, but the former welterweight champion turned him down cold. GS Pierre Said:- "If I decide to return to the UFC, 'I believe I can still be on top."

"I believe if I ever want to come back and fight I could be the best in mixed martial arts, if I find the fun and I have the feel for it again," St-Pierre said. "If I train hard and I have the pleasure to do it, I believe I can still be on top."

"Rush" has continued training, though, and actually tore his ACL last year at his Tristar Gym in Montreal. St-Pierre was cleared to return to training earlier this year, and he has started up again, but not for competition.

Origin of RUGBY 2015 Blues vs Maroons clashes match on 17th june.State of Origin game 2.

17.06.2015 State of Origin is the 8th interstate game to be played in Melbourne Cricket Ground. Last seven matches arranged in different stadium. Game 2 — June 17 at the MCG. Live on Channel Nine From 7.30pm. History details:

1. 1990, Game II, NSW 12 QLD 6, Olympic Park
2. 1994,Game II, NSW 14 QLD 0, MCG
3. 1995, Game II, QLD 20 NSW 12, MCG
4. 1997,Game II, NSW 15 QLD 14, MCG
5. 2006, Game III, QLD 16 NSW 14, Docklands Stadium
6. 2009, Game I, QLD 28 NSW 18, Docklands Stadium
7. 2012, Game I, QLD 18 NSW 10, Docklands Stadium

Mal Meninga’s men camped in Melbourne for more than a week ahead of the match, while the Blues conducted their own preparations in Coffs Harbour, before arriving in the Victorian capital on the weekend. After a typically tight Origin tussle in the series opener it was the experience and polish of the Maroons that eventually just wrested a match that a young and energetic Blues outfit had continually threatened to claim without ever quite finding the killer blow. Truth be told it was only the Blues' ironclad goal-line defence that kept them in the match throughout a second half where they were often their own worst enemies, repeatedly inviting the Queenslanders to shut them out of the game before repelling them at the line.

Few Opinion from people who think about State of Origin :...>>>>

*I think Qld need to give GI space down his side, and not use him as a battering ram. Morris is a very good defender, so GI needs space to be able to isolate him and attract the winger…

*Thurston should probably play 7 and DCE at 6, but maybe that will happen without those numbers?

*NSW need their halves and hooker to turn their brains on. So many games over the last 10 years could have/should have been won by NSW, but they haven’t been able to.
 

* “NSW need their halves and hooker to turn their brains on”

*this, unfortunately, is NSW’s biggest shortfall. When we need our halves/hooker to show up and take control we usually end up doing the exact opposite and giving the game up to QLD. This is why players like Thurston and Cronk are champions, when the team needs them they usually step up to the plate.
 

*One thing that I think gets overlooked is how hard is to win in opposition territory, NSW made a huge deal about winning at Suncorp last year, but we haven’t heard a peep about that this time. Only one point separated the teams IN SYDNEY. That being said, Cronk out, Gal in, closes that gap right back up again. I think QLD will win if Thurston spends time in the number seven position, (so pretty much what you said). I think NSW will win if…
nope, its Origin eave I won’t entertain such a silly notion.


 **I was lost at “if QLD back their ability and play to it”.
NEWSFLASH, when have they ever been any different. Go for the kill, how have they won so many in a row, Ryan. Maybe they did go for the kill.
Ryan, seems to be an article for an articles sake
*Nsw have shown over the last year that they are the better side, so they will win, they are great, they have a great coach, their great skipper is back, their great players will rally, greatness has been moulded into this side. Qld only claim is a few series wins prior to last year and a bunch of dirty players who aren’t great. Mind you if Nsw lose tomorrow, how pathetic would it be after all the talk of a blue dynasty after 2 wins, to match the Mighty Maroons 8 series wins. Pressure is on the pretty boys in blue to man up and not look pathetic tomorrow night.

*My big fear for this game is Farah playing injured. I don’t question his bravery but he’s played injured a couple of times (incl game I) and turned in shockers. He did as well in 09 I think it was. We keep hearing how his shoulder is ‘separated’ and it’s a 6 week recovery. He hasn’t played since and only did a contact session on Sunday. Fine line here between bravery and selfishness.

*Agree Farah is a weak link being injured. I would like a specialist hooker on the bench. There would be alot of gaps around the ruck , it just seems different playing on a cricket pitch. Slater and Thurstan would be heavily targeted too, I would like to see someone stand up to the grub Hodges, the guy’s got just 2 games to play.

*Every year around this time there are always a few articles arguing for State of Origin to return.
 

*However, on the NRL forums there are also quite a few articles each year talking about the negatives of Origin – like this one for example currently going. Origin to me is for a lesser evolved product, one that struggles with identity and needs it for promotion. Nothing wrong with this, but sooner or later it starts to damage the product itself and I think we are seeing this when it comes to Origin and the NRL.

David Cameron was right to express said by Natalie Louise Bennett.

Natalie Louise Bennett is a British politician and journalist condemns government's "attacks on human rights". About 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta Green Party leader Natalie Bennett said: “David Cameron was right to express pride in the esteem in which the Magna Carta is held around the world as an early step towards basic human rights. And he was right to express concern about the ‘distortion and devaluation’ of those rights. And yet his government has been doing just that. “Judges have said that the benefit cap puts Britain in breach of its obligations under the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. Yet he plans to tighten it.

Queen Elizabeth II 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta

 

Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II unveiled a plaque at Runnymede, England, during a commemoration ceremony Monday, June 15, 2015, to celebrate the 800th anniversary of the groundbreaking accord called Magna Carta.

Magna Carta, on which King John placed his seal 800 years ago today, is synonymous in the English-speaking world with fundamental rights and the rule of law. It’s been celebrated, and appropriated, by everyone from Tea Party members to Jay Z, who called his latest album “Magna Carta Holy Grail.”

But its fame rests on several myths. First, it wasn’t effective. In fact, it was a failure. John was a weak king who had squandered the royal fortune on a fruitless war with France. Continually raising taxes to pay for his European adventures, he provoked a revolt by his barons, who forced him to sign the charter. But John repudiated the document immediately, and the barons sought to replace him. John avoided that fate by dying.

In Louisville a black man shot dead by police?

Man killed in officer involved shooting.? Louisville Metro Police Chief Steve Conrad said "A police officer who killed a flagpole-wielding man in Louisville, Kentucky, appeared justified in using deadly force." Officer Who Killed Flagpole-Swinging Man Appears Justified, Chief Says.

A police officer shooting a black man outside Smoker's Smoke Shop in Old Louisville Saturday.

The video said it got from a nearby smoke shop shows the officer talking briefly with the man, who seems to become agitated and walks away from the officer.

The surveillance video taken from the Smoker's Smoke Shop shows Manyoun stumbling across Oak Street as Blanford pulls up in his squad car. It shows the officer getting out of the car and talking to Manyoun, who then walks out of the picture but re-emerges with a flagpole and swings it down near Blanford, striking the squad car. Blanford who drew his revolver as he appeared to watch Manyoun's actions off camera then fires his weapon and Manyoun falls to the sidewalk outside the shop on Fourth Street, near the intersection.

Blanford, 40, who is white and has been with the department since 2005, remains on paid administrative leave pending an investigation of the shooting, police said. A police officer who killed a flagpole-wielding man in Louisville, Kentucky, appeared justified in using deadly force, Louisville Metro Police Chief Steve Conrad said Sunday.

"The officer believed his life was being threatened," Conrad said at a news conference, adding that the shooting — which was captured in dramatic surveillance video at a nearby grocery store — was still being investigated and that the officer, 10-year veteran patrol Officer Nathan Blanford, wasn't treated for any injuries and hadn't yet been interviewed by investigators.

Blanford was dispatched to the Old Louisville neighborhood about 2 p.m. ET after a 911 caller reported witnessing an assault. A man was seen grabbing and throwing a woman's purse and cellphone on the street, Conrad said. Then, the man punched her.

Police said that Manyoun, a 35-year-old African who lived in the 1200 block of Brook Street, was shot twice. Deputy Jefferson County Coroner Robert D. Jones said Manyoun died as a result of gunshot wounds at University of Louisville Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 3 p.m.

England v Slovenia Two stunning goals by Arsenal’s Jack Wilshere on Euro 2016 qualifier.

Jack Wilshere, as England came back from behind to lead Slovenia 1-2 in the second half of this Euro 2016 qualifier. Great work from Liverpool trio of Raheem Sterling, Adam Lallana & Jordan Henderson playing their part effectively in both the goals.

Martin Keown:- "Jack Wilshere hit as good a shot as you will ever see for his second goal, it was great technique. He looks very comfortable at this level.

"I was concerned about Phil Jones from the off but in the final third, we looked very good. I am very pleased to see Wayne Rooney score his 48th goal and get level with Gary Lineker.

"It draws to a close a long season for England and the players can now get some rest."

England haven't rubber-stamped their trip to France just yet. But with 18 points from 18 they are almost there. No other team in Europe can match 18 points yet. It is also an unbeaten season for the first time since 1991.

When Knight of Cups premiered at Berlin film festival, it was met with mixed reviews, ranging from those feeling the film is as empty as the protagonist’s life, to one of wonder and an engaging foray into the chaotic world of Hollywood. But there is no denying that this film has all the classic markings of Malick; incredible visuals and experimental narratives. Knight of Cups will be released in December 2015.

Jake Kelzer was drafted by the Chicago Cubs in the 14th round of the MLB Draft

Jake Kelzer in action

Indiana baseball team >> Kelzer, Chicago Cubs drafted Effross (eyebright) from Indiana in back-to-back rounds of the 2015 MLB Draft. On the final day of the MLB Amateur Draft, the Chicago Cubs displayed a fondness for Hoosier arms. In the 14th round, with the 413th pick, sophomore RHP Jake Kelzer was selected. One round later, with the 443rd pick, the Cubs took junior RHP Scott Effross. Bloomington native Jake Kelzer (pictured) has emerged as one of IndianaÕs most important relief pitchers this season, as the Hoosiers look to return to the College World Series. He began his college career as a swimmer as well, but he eventually chose baseball full-time.

The Cubs selected former Bloomington South standout Jake Kelzer in the 14th round before swinging back and taking Scott Effross in the 15th round. Both Kelzer and Effross can return to IU next season if they do not sign with Chicacgo. Kelzer was drafted the the New York Yankees in the 22nd round of last year's draft, but decided to return to Bloomington. He started 11 games for the Hoosiers this season, posting a 3.95 ERA and a 4-5 record.

Effross posted a 2.35 ERA and a 4-4 record this past season. Kelzer, who was selected by the New York Yankees in the 22nd round in 2014, worked to a 3.95 ERA over 17 appearances in 2015, including 11 starts. Over a team-high 73 innings, the 6-foot-8 right-hander allowed 65 hits, struck out 57 and walked 31. He held opposing batters to a .237 average while flashing a fastball in the low-to-mid 90s and a tough breaking ball. Kelzer earned his first save in the first game of a doublehealder with Ohio State on May 15, striking out a career-high seven batters in three innings.He was an All-Big Ten Freshman Team selection last season. Kelzer will be eligible for the draft as long as he remains at Indiana because he turned 21 years old during his draft month in 2014. He struck out 51 batters to just nine walks. Opposing hitters batted just .217 against him in 2015.

Of course, neither player is a sure thing to go pro. Effross could have been a candidate to be selected during the latter rounds on Day 2. The right-hander has pitched in every role during his three seasons at Indiana, working as a starter and middle-, late-inning reliever in 2015.
