A draft bill referring to overhauling care for the elderly and also for the disabled individuals in Great Britain has been a part of the Queens Speech recently. This special draft bill is meant to aid people to gain more control over their personal care needs and also provide them with more choices. Nevertheless, uncertainly steps into the picture, as no clear measurements have been mentioned as to how this type of social care will be covered. The Local Government Association has also expressed its support in regards to the Queen’s bill.

According to Reuters, it would seem that the Bank of England has chosen not to provide Great Britain with the money it needs due to the concerns that have been raised by high inflations rates. Prolonged recession risks and the Euro Zone debt crisis are certainly two factors that have also contributed to the harsh decision made by the Bank of England.

Britain’s Conservative coalition relies on loose monetary policies in order to somehow soften and ease the pain caused by the austerity measures taken in the country. The cutting of the remarkably large public borrowing is one measure that Brits are finding particularly hard to cope it. Plus, the fact that the English economy is yet to recover from the financial crisis that reached its peak between 2007 and 2009 is not doing Britain’s overall economy a lot of good either.

The Bank of London has bought 325 billion pounds in terms of government debt with the help of newly created money; out of it, 50 billion pounds has been bought in the last 3 months'time, and the Bank of England decided that its help has been so far sufficient. Moreover, the Bank kept its key interest rate unaltered at a record low of 0.5%. Most of the economists might have expected these decisions to eventually come on behalf of the Bank, but there are still people who believe the Bank of London is going to change its mind and do more for the government.

Also, their beliefs could also be sustained by the fact that the Central Bank has not yet issued an official statement explaining its radical decision. According to policymakers, the inflation might not fall below the Bank’s two percent target. But the inflation has known a rise for the first time in 6 months in March, reaching 3.5 percent, which is also the highest rate inside the Group of Seven major advanced economies.

The fact that the economy has shrunken 0.2 percent in the first 3 months of 2012 is not only going to cause people to find it extremely difficult to find a well-paid pharmacy job, but it also officially places Great Britain back into recession. Some positive news does exist, though, as it seems that there are some unexpected strong rebounds in manufacturing outputs recorded in March. These rebounds could indicate the fact that the economy is somehow healthier than originally believed, despite of the plunge in the oil and gas extraction industry.

If you are provident, advance planning can achieve plenty of opportunities for saving a hefty amount of cash. Advance booking is tantamount to great economy. Have you learnt that the organisers will have all Olympics spectators travel to the events by the public transport, or walk, or cycle? A free Games Travelcard for one day rides on high speed trains is a great opportunity – all spectators that have tickets for a London Olympics event are entitled to a free Travelcard for the specific event day –use the tube, London buses, rail services. If you are planning to attend cross country equestrian events, consider coach travel – the First company, cooperating with the Olympics organisers, will run returb services to the Olympics Park, Greenwich Park, etc.

These are but a few of the opportunities you can use to reduce your expenses for an unforgettable experience at the London Olympics. Combine them with free watching of events on screens in Hyde Park or Victoria Park, and you will soak up Olympic experience to your heart’s content with as few dents to your personal finances as possible.

But is the meaning of this first paragraph? Well apart from any metaphors, it means that the tax system is so complicated that people stand no chance in perceiving it. The extensive volumes of tax legislation are not even near comprehensive for the people who actually pay tax and this is one of the main reasons why the Tax Commission in the UK does whatever it considers right - because it is probably the only organ that knows exactly how the taxation system functions. The figure below shows the percentage of people who understand tax and the percentage of people who pay tax without even knowing how it is actually applied as a rule. The difference speaks for itself - people are unaware of the UK tax system and pay tax as an obligation and not as a contribution!

What the figure tells us is that the current politicians need to adopt an approach which would allow people to have more accessibility to the principles governing the tax policies in the UK. For example, in countries such as Germany and France legislation is not biased by common law rules and is made under specific framework thus allowing people to read it easily and to adjust to its needs. The complicated environment of taxation in the UK bars people from properly understanding what they pay as tax and how their money is going to be valued against their income. Tax simplification is desperately needed in the UK and hopefully, the government would finally address this persistent and concerning issue!

The advance in technology has allowed people to develop even more sophisticated equipment to solve urgent problems. Mathematical calculations on all matters from unsecured business loans risks to more problematic earth quake disturbances, have been used as a core principle for the development of more complicated technology. And now IBM jumps on the scene with a revolutionary concept of a chip that has been designed using the human nature, incorporating all the known knowledge to men and being capable of saving millions of lives.

The chip is based upon the senses of the human brain. Just how the brain operates by collecting data from the nervous system and analyzing it to produce results and possible outcomes, this is how the chip would work. Its core is divided into sections each of which produces a different result from a task - a separate center analyzes the results and gives the best result - the most accurate or the most probable outcome of an action, of a mathematical task and so on.

The abilities of the chip to sense changes by analyzing external factors (like the brain does with the help of the nervous system) would allow this technology to be used for the prediction of earthquakes, for the finding of earth resources, for coping with epidemic conditions, diseases and so on. It would also be the first step towards the process of making a ’reasonable computer'- a thinking machine that would have to face dilemmas and thus evolve in its patterns of thinking.

The Country of Technology : For one thing I would say that…

Last year meteorologic specialists were focusing on Russia’s extremely unusual weather where thousands of people were affected by the severe heatwaves and corn crops were almost devastated in some of the largest corn breeders in the country. This was a memorable moment for the country which had to exhaust a significant amount of resource to cope with the problem attracting support from all over the world.

This year, the US and Canada might be the focuses of such interest. Even designer silver rings sellers on the streets of Nother American cities are hit - the heats seem to be unbearable under all circumstances. Meteorological impossibilities are occurring in the countries'common lands and people tend to believe the climate change has finally arrived to these places. A person from New York interviewed by BBC indicates that he does not remember such heatwaves in his 80 years of life. He has pointed out that sitting in the heat outside allows you the perfect condition to feel as a part of some exotic island. The temperatures over New York were exceeding thirty degrees during the past few days and the prognosis is that further heatwaves might continue in the following week.

Canadians are even more frustrated by the heatwave. Being people who hardly ’communicate'with unusual weather, their problems start as soon as the temperatures exceed 25 degrees. The Northern American country has vast corn fields and such heats in these typically cool lands might lead to the devastation of hectares of corn that has never been bred under such circumstances.

Specialists are yet unsure whether the problems would continue during August. Vast resources, however, would be stored to ensure the ability of both countries to cope with extensive fire problems if the heats continue to bother the countries.

The Country of Technology : For one thing I would say that…

It is the country of the dance fabrics, the country of design and fashion, the country of religion and sport. This was Italy several days back. Now, it is the country of anti-nuclear energy plans and the country of disputes and political outbursts. The government of Berlusconi planned to restart the nuclear energy production after it has been cut due to protests after the disaster in Ukraine in the late 80s.

Now the Italians ruled out the nuclear energy production in a referendum procedure held by the government. Almost the whole majority of people are not agreeing with the country resuming the energy production through atomic power. The concerns, mainly related with the latest problems that Japan experienced in relation to its nuclear program and the problems that occurred after the earthquake that led to a massive nuclear disaster, remained vital for the vote of the people. Despite the nature of the government’s assurances that no such problem would occur in Italy, the people in the state felt quite convinced that a nuclear program would only harm Italy.

The majority of people, as mentioned earlier, declared themselves against the initiation of a nuclear power program from the government. People from the age of 18 to the age of 56 are the most concerned individuals who voted. Their considerations consist of mainly the motive that people who exploit nuclear power are eventually facing a risk in the modern day environment. The efforts of the EU to maintain a sustainable energy development in the region are fruitless if the nuclear energy production is supported by separate states. Thus Italy remains nuclear power free and alternatives in the region would keep booming.

How real is the risk on the US economy in a case of a cyber attack? This has been recently the most discussed topic by cyber experts who are about to go through some of the most radical changes in the US security systems and ensure that the safety of the US databases is ensured. This is a result of a serious conspiracy plan that has been given the US officials and now they fear the so called virtual terrorism. The impact of a breach in the US security systems might lead to serious damages to the economy if databases such as social policy applications or tax information is being misused, stolen or removed.

How are such matters addressed? The US government is undertaking a major improvement of its cyber security plans and is aiming to ensure that the tax information and other social-related spheres of information are preserved. Special FBI agency has been created in order to carry out a special assessment that would estimate the risk of the economy and any impacts on spheres such as military services and the police if something happens with the special cyber protection that turns back millions of attempts annually for breach in the US security.

Which areas are most vulnerable? Any area, from the list of red diesel suppliers in the country to the law enforcement is vulnerable to attacks if not properly protected in the future. However, it is considered that the most dangerous outcomes of a breach are the ones coming from national security domains and military services - a possible breach there might cost millions of dollars or, worse, thousands of lives.

This is the reason why the US has engaged in a wholly new initiative to absolutely modernise and expand the perimeter of its online cyber security and protect its existing databases.

I have never been attracted to claiming certain uncertainties as true and I have never been interested in exploring what smarter people might have already established. However, a growing concern allows me to state that the UK, one of the most inspiring and influential states on the world map, is being threatened by something far more influential - Islamic radicalism and cultural erosion.

Allow me to begin with an apology to every Muslim reading this - I must say, just like Christians and Jews, and Hindus and Buddhists, they are people of a particular faith and I respect their choice. However, the political struggle of the British politicians allowed the influence of radicalism into the otherwise fine and quite bright British society. I have seen it, I am sure you have too. Beginning with the disgraceful speech of hatred serviced in a British mosque and reaching the Sharia Law supporters which claim Britain must adopt a lot of its features in its local governance. And many people do not intend to care about such matters - they’d rather spend an amazing holiday in a hotel in Looe. Too bad - ignorance equals to surrender.

What Britain needs is restrictions - just like Denmark, just like Norway. These countries do not reject Muslims but also do not allow interference with the cultural and social foundations of their societies. What Britain needs to do is control the Muslim youth preventing them from directed radicalism and care about its Christians, proclaiming the benefits from their faith as well. I have honestly seen millions of Muslims in the UK being driven and motivated to follow religion. Unfortunately, the governments in the UK have not yet inspired its own people. This is why I will not defend the leaders of this nation - simply because they tend to care more about Saudi money rather than the needs of their societies.

So you jump in your car and are just about to go have dna testing done when you hear that fuel prices will be increased. It’s a joke you say to yourself, but alas it is not.

Just so you know, many experts are expecting this year to be the most expensive year for using cars because of the recent Fuel Duty and VAT rise.

Petrol prices were increasing steadily because of the increasing cost of a barrel of oil on the world market. But the recent price hike was lead by the raising of VAT and Fuel Duty thus adding a surprising 3.5p per litre of fuel. So now the average cost of a litre of petrol is hovering around 125.9p which is an increase of 17p over last year. The cost will be £1 per litre if the price of petrol stops attracting VAT. Now as at January 1, 2011 VAT has been increased to 20% up from 17.50%.

But it’s not the only thing that makes you pay. Fuel Duty is another reason for increasing petrol prices. Without this Fuel Duty, the price of petrol with VAT would be much more reasonable.

Now, get ready to be surprised again as the government is planning to raise the fuel duty again. Now, all you can do is to wonder how the rising oil prices can lead to increased fuel duty and VAT.

If this thing continues, walking will be the only solution for people who can’t afford pay these painful fuel prices.
