Different brands use different scales while creating their product. Thus the sizes that fit the customer in one brand might not fit in another. This becomes a bigger issue when shopping on an e-commerce store as the customers can’t even try the size before buying. And getting the wrong size causes inconvenience to them because the process of exchanging it for the correct size or for returning it takes a lot of time.

This is not a major issue to lose out on your customers. With the PRODUCT SIZE CHART PLUGIN TO WOOCOMMERCE, this issue can be solved forever.

This plugin allows you to place customized size charts on each product page so that the customer can choose their perfect size easily. They need not worry about getting a wrong size and the trouble thereafter.

You can download the free version from the link below.

Once you have uploaded the plugin, activate your plugin in Plugins → Installed Plugins. If it has been activated correctly, plugin control panel is available in the tab SIZE CHARTS in WordPress dashboard.

Some feature of the free version are:

  • Option to enable or disable size chart plugin.
  • Option to create an unlimited number of size charts.
  • Created size charts will be shown in tabs on single product page.
  • Each product page would require a unique Size chart.

While the free version can be used to get the work done, the premium version has features taking it to another level.

Some features of the premium version are:

  • Options to enable or disable size chart plugins.
  • Option to create an unlimited number of size charts.
  • Option to display created size chart as Tab, Popup or Tabbed Popup.
  • Option to set size chart on the basis of product categories.
  • Option to show the size in a widget
  • Option to set same size chart for all the products.
  • Option to set more than one size chart for a single product.
  • Advanced styling options.

HTC One vs Galaxy S III vs iPhone 5 picture and video samples comparison

HTC One vs Galaxy S III vs iPhone 5 picture and video samples comparison
HTC One strays away from the "more is better" megapixel mantra hammered in the customer perceptions, providing what it calls an UltraPixel camera, where the separate pixels are 2 microns, compared to the 1.4 micron buckets for light in the Galaxy S III and the iPhone 5.

We snapped a few indoor photos at the MWC expo with the display HTC One unit, and then the same ones with Samsung's and Apple's finest. We won't comment on the quality, as there might still be work to be done on the One before it gets in boxes and onto retail shelves, but you can judge for yourself in the slideshow below.

Overall, the HTC One expo unit here snaps with less blur in the indoor lighting conditions, which can be expected given the larger pixel size and optical image stabilization mechanism inside, but let's wait for the final verdict when we get a retail unit, and we also get to compare it with the Lumia 920, which has smaller pixels, but sports a different OIS tech in its chunky unibody.

What is clearly noticeable right away, however, is that the output files from the HTC One are two to three times smaller than those from the 8 MP cams on the iPhone 5 and the Galaxy S III. Take a peek at the original shots and videos from the three devices below - they haven't been resized, so will take some time load.

My story...

Name:Anna Robb

Well I just want to tell it exactly as it is!

I just wished I came across Jamil so much earlier than I did.

I have tried all the diets, fads I'm sure there is on the market.

They never worked. I could never sustain them and I always ended up disheartened and felt as so I had let myself down, and this went on for years!

Since working with Jamil, it has changed my life! I have had amazing results in a short period of time, I'm never hungry, and I have way more energy than I can ever remember having and feel amazing.

I get compliments every day and I am now addicted to my new lifestyle and wish more people could feel this way.

Jamil is so approachable, knowledgeable and great to have as my coach, I'm excited to see where my journey with this takes me.

Don't hesitate get in touch with Jamil today!

Three Doberman dogs walk down the street
Each leashed to owner's hands
What fine dogs to meet.

Bristling black bodies, tall and sleek,
Long muzzles hide the teeth of hounds
Three stately dogs stride up the street.

Pointed ears and tails cropped at the seat,
Markings at paws like tanned sand
What a fine breed to meet!

Like horses nuzzling for a carrot treat,
Stallions pulling a carriage, grand
Three steeds trot down the street

Taking turns nosing ahead of other feet,
These guardians of house and land
What fine canines to meet.

A fierce, frightening breed to greet?
Not so it seemed, this friendly clan
Three Dobermans walk down the street
Finer dogs I could not meet.

The excitement is growing for online as PokerStars plans to launch its regulated online poker room in the state of New Jersey on March 21.

This marks the first time PokerStars will be available to customers playing within the United States since the U.S. Department of Justice shut down the online poker room from serving customers in the country on April 15, 2011, otherwise known throughout the poker world as Black Friday.

While players on the new PokerStars.nj site will not have access to worldwide player liquidity and only be playing against players that are located in New Jersey, much of everything else that PokerStars will be offering is similar to what is available on other clients, including the software, games, tiered VIP program, and a variety of promotions.

To help explain what players should expect after the launch, VIP Manager at PokerStars Dylan Coady opened a thread on the TwoPlusTwo poker forum titled PokerStars NJ — Official Thread.

Soft Launch Begins March 16

Coady explained in the thread that while the official launch date is March 21, there will be a five-day testing period leading up to the official launch capped at 500 players. On March 16-17, players be able to enjoy games from 16:00 to midnight ET, on March 18 from 08:00 to midnight ET, and during the entire day on March 20-21.

New Jersey players will have the option of keeping the account they may have previously had or opening up an account under a new screen name. If they choose the former, their older account will be automatically closed, however, player balances they may not have been cashed out will be automatically transferred to the new client.

Additionally, Coady informed the poker community that PokerStars will credit migrated accounts with a VIP status, play-money chips balance, and StarsCoins (formerly FPPs) based on each player's historic activity. StarsCoin conversion from FPPs will take place at a 1.6-to-1 rate, which is a bit higher than the 1.2-to-1 rate provided to players when the VIP program changed in the rest of the world on Jan. 1, 2016.

Coady informed the community that this was due to rest-of-world players being provided two months notice to redeem their FPPs under the old program while New Jersey players were not given any notice.

What won't be transferred from old PokerStars accounts are pending bonuses, tournament money, and tournament tickets.

Differences Between NJ and ROW

There are a few differences that PokerStars players in New Jersey will experience when compared to the rest of the world. First of all, players must be at least 21 years of age to play on the New Jersey client due to regulations set forth by the state's gaming regulatory authority, the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement (NJDGE). Players on other PokerStars clients outside of New Jersey only have to be at least 18 years old.

Another difference due to gaming regulation is that player-to-player transfers will not be allowed on the New Jersey client. While this is allowed on the rest-of-world PokerStars client, this isn't much different to the other ring-fenced PokerStars clients where this is also prohibited.

The VIP program is very similar to the one available to the rest of the world, with the main difference being there will be lower thresholds required to reach each tier as listed below.

VIP LevelVPP RequirementEstimated Rewards
ChromeStar100 per month12-15%
SilverStars500 per month15-18%
GoldStar2,000 per month17-21%
PlatinumStar4,000 per month22-25%
Supernova50,000 per year27-305

Coady mentioned another difference in the VIP program will be the absence of VIP tournaments scheduled upon the launch. However, he added that PokerStars plans to run a variety of value- and seat-added VIP Bash Satellites to bigger events during the year.

Games are expected to be similar to what is on offer on other PokerStars clients, albeit with lower tournament guarantees and less liquidity in cash games due to the smaller overall market size. This means popular games like the fast-fold Zoom Poker and the lottery-style Spin & Go tournaments will be available to players in the Garden State.

PokerStars is encouraging players to sign up to the site by luring them in with a "We Are in New Jersey Freeroll" for any player who creates their new account within the first week of launch. The freeroll takes place on March 27 at 17:00 ET with a generous $25,000 guarantee. To put this into perspective, the biggest tournament on the week on the partypoker NJ/BorgataPoker.com is typically a $215 buy-in tournament with a $50,000 guarantee while the biggest tournament of the week on 888poker NJ/WSOP NJ is typically a $200 buy-in tournament with a $30,000 guarantee.

Coady stated that there would be other promotions, but wouldn't elaborate at this time, posting that, "There is more planned for launch that I'm unable to announce at this time. Stay tuned!"

This may suggest that PokerStars does not plan a huge marketing blitz causing other New Jersey sites to react accordingly. Regardless of how big the promotions may or may not be, PokerStars reentering the marketplace in the Garden State is likely to change the landscape since they were the most well-known brand in the United States for many years.

One question that currently remains unanswered is whether players that leave the country to play on the worldwide PokerStars client will be able to keep their old account if they set up a new one under a new screen name. A number of players have asked this question, however, no clear answer was provided yet.

What About Full Tilt?

In case you were wondering whether Full Tilt would also be launching, Coady made it clear that it would not be included in its New Jersey offering at this time. Additionally, Full Tilt VIP statuses will not be considered in determining the status players start off with on the New Jersey client.

Also of note is, while players must be within the borders of New Jersey to play on PokerStars NJ, they do not need to be residents of the state. Residents of other states or even other countries will be able to sign up and fund an account provided that they have a valid Social Security Number and a U.S. postal address.

Communications faulted in N.Y. manhunt for Ralph "Bucky" Phillips

The Associated Press
Related: Ralph "Bucky" Phillips captured

Former fugitive, Ralph "Bucky" Phillips, center in orange, is escorted by U.S. Marshals into the U.S. District Court House in Buffalo, N.Y., on Sept. 9, 2006. Phillips, suspected of fatally shooting a state trooper and wounding two others made his first court appearance hours after surrendering in a field over the Pennsylvania state line following a five-month manhunt. (AP Photo/Carolyn Kaster)
BUFFALO, N.Y. — Unclear instructions and radio problems hindered the massive manhunt for a fugitive who killed one trooper and wounded two others before his recapture, according to a state police review issued Friday.

The internal report also said last year's search for Ralph "Bucky" Phillips relied too heavily on an elite unit of the New York State Police. But, it said, none of the problems significantly affected the hunt's outcome.

Phillips was captured Sept. 8 in a field near the Pennsylvania line, five months after escaping from a jail near Buffalo. While on the run, he shot one state trooper during a traffic stop and two others who were staking out his ex-girlfriend's home. One of the troopers died.

The search involved nearly 1,400 members of the state police, along with hundreds of officers from other agencies.

The review said field commanders did not clearly communicate instructions. It also said deficiencies within the state police radio system - and the belief that Phillips and acquaintances were monitoring dispatches - led commanders to use cell phones to convey assignments, a decision the report called "an error."

Based on 1,390 interviews, the review also found commanders leaned too much on the state police Mobile Response Team, whose members were not always immediately available to pursue sightings of Phillips and other major leads.

"Some apprehension opportunities may have been lost because immediate MRT response was not a practical expectation," the report said.

Changes have been recommended to avoid future problems, it said.

The troopers union, which has criticized search decisions by local commanders in western New York, said Friday it had not yet seen the report and had no immediate comment.

Phillips, 44, is serving 40 years to life in prison.

Work It Girl: Step it Up (a Stair Technique)

They say that there's more than one way up the mountain. Well, I'm here to tell you that there is more than one way up the stairs. Yep, that is right - there are different techniques to it.

Try this:
Step onto the stair with your entire foot and press your heel into the stair to push yourself up to the next stair. You should feel your upper hamstring and your lower glutes working.

Not only does this "technique" work the often underused muscles of your backside, it is better for the health of your knee.

Fit's words of caution: This is a little difficult to do in heels since the heel can get stuck on the back lip of the stair.

Friday Question of the Day – Your Favorite Wines?

by Prince Of Petworth March 13, 2014 at 10:22 pm 50 Comments

Photo by PoPville flickr user philliefan99

Not sure how many oenophiles we have out there but I’ve recently been enjoying a grape or two. Despite having taken a vitology class about 19 years ago, I sadly have retained nothing from it. Well I do remember something about the bend in a river affected the light which affects the terroir or something like that but anyway, it doesn’t help me when I’m at a liquor store staring at 1000 bottles and having no idea what’s good. So for today – just wondering if anyone has recommendations for bottles of wine? Even better if you have recs for reasonably priced bottles, say under $20 – but I’d be curious in your recs for special occasion bottles too.

Five proper pubs in Portsmouth

The Ship Anson, The Hard, Portsmouth

The Bahn Thai in Fareham will soon become a Brazilian steakhouse and susha buffet restaurant Picture by Ian Hargreaves

Samba and sushi mix at new town restaurant

Have your say

Looking for a proper pub in Pompey? Here are five of the best...

The Dolphin

41 High Street

A great example of a self-styled ‘village pub’ in the heart of Old Portsmouth, The Dolphin is also the city’s oldest watering hole, dating back to 1716. Modern renovations have left original features intact, including a window frame said to have been signed by Nelson.

The Hole In The Wall

36 Great Southsea Street

The Hole In The Wall has consistently won the CAMRA pub of the year, which is testament to their ever-changing casks on offer. There’s also a menu featuring sausage and mash and sandwiches.

The Duke of Buckingham

119 High Street

The Duke of Buckingham is a classic pub for grabbing a pint. It’s quiet, cosy and (like any good pub) has all manner of strange paraphernalia tucked in every nook and cranny.

The Tap

17 London Road

The Tap has a family-friendly atmosphere and welcoming staff. They are renowned for serving great home-made food at reasonable prices, including their award-winning roasts. Weekends get livelier with a variety of entertainment.

The Ship Anson

10 The Hard

An iconic naval pub for sailors on shore leave, located on The Hard just outside the historic dockyard, The Ship Anson’s striking mock Tudor frontage hints at its historical significance. Offering a range of real ales and food.

Paul Cook targets quality Pompey recruits

Rotherham v Pompey: the opposition view

Have your say

Paul Cook has spoken of the importance of his next Pompey signings as he plots the club’s progression.

The Blues boss completed a major overhaul of the squad in the summer but is still looking for quality additions during the January transfer window.

The next signings are big ones for us

Paul Cook

Pompey have been linked with 19-year-old Liverpool goalkeeper Ryan Fulton and Swindon striker Michael Smith recently, although Cook declined to comment on the speculation.

But he did explain Pompey face a pivotal period as they attempt to improve their squad. And the manager added it will take investment to bring in the necessary quality of player.

Cook said: ‘The next signings are big ones for us.

‘To improve our team and our club, you are getting to the nitty-gritty.

‘We’ve overseen a squad change. In general, everyone is quite pleased with how we’re playing.

‘But the next signing is important to us as a club so it’s important that we make the right one.

‘We’re at a level and it takes something else to improve on that now.

‘Sometimes when you identify a problem for the people above you, they don’t want the problem – they want the solution.

‘Players I want to sign would cost money – of course they would.

‘A fella spoke to me the other day and said “Jed Wallace would be good for our team”.

‘Jed went for a lot of money and there is a reason why you move on for a lot of money.

‘As a club progressing, how fast do you want to go?

‘It happens all around the country where clubs have tried to go forward too quickly and end up coming back.

‘You can go forward quite quickly – but it’s about getting the right players.’

While Cook wants to make fast progress, he believes that consistency is also required.

‘Managers do get sacked very quickly these days but we are not changing that,’ added Cook.

‘So there is pressure on the manager to get us back to where we think we should be as quickly as possible.

‘Knowing and having faith in your players is huge.

‘The stronger your players, the more success you will get.

‘It’s important that you are always trying to make that progress.

‘But we are very blessed that we have a lot of good players at the club.’

Asked about Fulton – the Scotland under-21 international goalkeeper – Cook said: ‘Last week we were linked with Liam Noble from Notts County so I’m not going to speak about speculation on goalkeepers or any other position.

‘My job is to continue to strengthen the team and it’s not right to discuss deals in public.

‘Am I looking to strengthen the team in general? Yes.

‘But I think everyone knows we are also trying to trim the squad down.’

Congratulations to the Portland City Council for finding a way to resolve long-simmering disputes between bar owners and residents in the Old Port over noise complaints.

The council signed off on the creation of the Portland Sound Oversight Committee, which work with aggrieved parties to come to solutions both sides can live with.

The committee will have teeth: A business owner who does not live under the terms of an agreement could lose his entertainment license, which is a big deal in the competitive night-life district.

The problem has always been that loud music is only a problem when it is a problem. The same level of sound that keeps up the neighbors in one location could bother no one elsewhere.

By focusing on resolving the problems, the committee will help businesses stay in business and their neighbors get their sleep.

New opportunities for technical investments in Japan

In Japan, where earthquake resistance is the most important criteria for choosing new offices for 92% of businesses, a private construction company called Mori building was able to create earthquake resistant housing development. The company was able to promote an urban development concept that seeks to build “a city to escape into rather than a city from which people run away”.

Through this concept the company developed a local power plant, which was constructed under consideration of both earthquake risk and CO2 reduction goals. As a result, in the aftermath of the Great East Japan Earthquake, this technology enabled the plant to produce and sell surplus electricity to outside areas that experienced power outages. In this sense, technology played a large role in building capacity for disaster risk reduction.

Buying a home in Portugal? PrimeLocation has teamed up with independent overseas property trade association, AIPP, to bring you this essential go-to guide.

  • By

  • Where do I start?

    A relaxed Mediterranean lifestyle, white sun-soaked beaches and excellent golf courses makes Portugal a great alternative to Spain or France for Brits looking to buy abroad.

    Though the global financial crisis hit Portugal hard, it’s now making an excellent recovery and its economy is stabilising. Attractive tax and residency incentives, as well as low mortgage rates, have also proven popular with expat buyers.

    Nevertheless, before you proceed, it’s worth asking yourself these three simple questions:

    1. What are you primarily buying the property for?

    Is it a holiday home, a financial investment – or somewhere to retire to in the longer term?

    2. What do you see yourself doing there?

    This might be spending relaxing time with your partner, hosting family and friends, indulging in sport and leisure – or even working.

    3. What is most important to you?

    Is it budget, location, the kind of property or surrounding facilities?

    Once you have these answers you’ll be clearer about what you are looking for and can move onto the fun part.

    Where in Portugal should I buy?

    Attracted by its stunning beaches, excellent climate and award-winning golf courses, the Algarve, on Portugal’s southern-most coast, is a number one property hotspot for Brits. It’s also a great region for holiday rental opportunity.

    The Algarve’s central resort towns of Vilamoura, Vale do Lobo and Quinta do Lago are often singled out as its most desirable pockets. Property developments and their linked facilities are in the super league. But this, of course, also means they come with the highest price tag.

    If your budget is more limited, the central Algarve offers some great alternatives. Check out Loulé, famous for its Saturday morning gipsy market, or Silves with its abundance of orange and lemon trees. Pretty Armação de Pêra, just west of Albufeira, has a great atmosphere yet avoids being too over-crowded in the seasonal months.

    But money will go further still in the Western Algarve which has been steadily growing in popularity. Explore the leisure resort of Carvoeiro, the charming beach village of Burgau or the larger fishing town of Lagos. For a much quieter pace of life (and some great surfing) Odeceixe is worth a look.

    The Eastern Algarve is perhaps the least touristy part of the region but you can still find some great property deals just 20 minutes drive of Faro airport. Tavira, close to the Spanish border, has been mooted as a potential hotspot for a few years now. For unspoilt countryside but still within 30 minutes of the coast, villages around the river town of Alcoutim may offer what you are looking for.

    Traditional architecture in Lisbon.

    To discover ‘real Portugal’ leave the Algarve behind and head north-west to the Silver Coast (or Costa de Prata) which lies between Lisbon and Porto. With its famous ‘glittering’ beaches you’ll find everything here from historic towns and traditional fishing villages to modern coastal resorts.

    Also worth considering is Aveiro which is known as the ‘Venice of Portugal’ for its lagoons – or the bohemian medieval town of Obidos for its art and culture. If you want more in the way of amenities the bigger towns of Nazaré and Marinha Grande may be a better fit.

    Formerly overlooked by Brits but now gathering pace as a property hotspot is Portugal’s Blue Coast (or Costa Azul). Stretching from the top of the Algarve to just north of Lisbon, the region plays host to the gigantic natural reserve of the Troia Peninsula where you’ll find protected dolphins and hundreds of varieties of birds.

    Upscale developments have been built along the sheltered white sand dunes of Troia and Carvalhal and a wide range of property is now available there at reasonable prices. For something off-resort, consider the hillsides of Sesimbra province where you’ll find stunning rugged views. Alternatively, look at the ancient sea town of Setubal – which is known to wine-lovers as the home of Moscatel and to football-lovers as the home of Jose Mourinho.

    Finally, we should mention Portugal’s beautiful islands. Madeira is perhaps the best-known and its international airport provides good connections. Steeped in history, the island has traditionally drawn an older profile visitor but trendy boutique hotels springing up in the last decade have since been attracting a younger, cooler crowd.

    Property in Madeira is generally more expensive than on mainland Portugal but there is plenty of it available. Look at the charming village of Ponta do Sol in the south or the equally picturesque Camacha in the hills east of the capital Funchal.

    Sao Miguel is the largest and most populated of Portugal’s Azores islands and is built onrolling plains, mountains and deep crater lakes. Now serviced by the budget airlines, holiday homes on the island have become a feasible possibility.

    Your first port of call for property there might be the cosmopolitan main town of Ponta Delgad, which sits on amodern marina. Although the smaller islands of the Azores will offer bargain prices access and amenities are limited, so do your homework.

    Villa with a pool in Portugal.

    What type of Portuguese property is available – and at what cost?

    Buying in Portugal will afford you the opportunity to purchase totally different property styles than you’d find in the UK. What’s more, they’ll often be much larger than you could perhaps afford at home.

    As with many European countries, Portugal has a large rural population which translates into a good supply of farm and country houses or ‘quintas, so-called as they were traditionally rented out for one-fifth of the value of what was grown on the land.

    Prices vary enormously. An isolated single story quinta ruin with 10,000 square metres of land in the hills of Portugal’s Blue Coast can be found for as little as €20,000, while a fully renovated five-bedroom farmhouse in Lagos with swimming pool will be nearer to the €3m mark.

    A sun-splashed villa is often the dream when it comes to overseas property – and Portugal offers no shortage of these in all regions and at all price points. Portuguese villas tend to lie on the outskirts of towns or within small developments and come with a pool, terrace and gardens.

    Again, prices vary. An older four-bedroom villa close to Tavira for example (away from the frontline coast) could cost in the region of €500,000, whereas it would be easy to find a luxurious beachfront six-bedroom villa in Vale do Lobo on the market for between €6m and €8m.

    Townhouses are a great alternative to villas. They offer plenty of living space internally, while externally you’ll only have a terrace and roof-top area to look after rather than the often extensive gardens of a villa. An older style three-bedroom townhouse in Nazare will cost in the region of €200,000, while a new-build townhouse on an upmarket development in Albufeira will start from around €450,000.

    The majority of Portuguese developments will also have apartments of varying sizes, purpose built for the holiday market. These offer a great ‘lock-up-and-leave’ option for those in search of a holiday let. With communal facilities including swimming pools and gardens, maintenance costs are also shared which is a popular draw among Brits. Apartments can also offer a sense of community and – if you are lucky – even some readymade friends.

    The downsides of buying in an apartment block include over-crowding at peak times of year and the fact your next-door neighbours (which can change frequently during holiday season) are in such close proximity.

    Prices of apartments vary hugely depending on location, size and level of finish. A two-bedroom coastal apartment in Carvoeiro for example, will cost around €300,000 while a four-bedroom luxury apartment in Porto with a river view could be nearer to the €1m mark.

    A resort property on a golfing leisure complex in Portugal is another option for the melting pot. Even if you don’t play golf, the stunning views and excellent facilities associated with these high-end developments mean they can represent excellent investment potential.

    A five-bedroom villa in a prime position on a resort such as Villamoura will come at a tidy sum – in the region of €3m. But a two-bedroom apartment in the Troia Beach Resort will be much less, ringing in at around €450,000.

    Specific to Portugal are quirky Swiss style chalets built by Portuguese who had spent time in Switzerland and Germany. There are now established companies in Portugal you can commission to build these timber houses for you. And at an assembly time of around six-weeks, a plot of land may be worth considering instead!

    If you have cash to buy your Portuguese home – either through existing funds or a remortgage of your UK home – you can move right on to our section on currency exchange. If not, you will need to consider your borrowing options.

    The first thing to note is that you won’t be able to take a mortgage from a UK bank to pay for a home that lies on different soil. However, non-residents are permitted to take Portuguese mortgages against Portuguese property. An overseas mortgage broker based in the UK can help you search for the best deals from Portuguese banks.

    The Portuguese mortgage market is slower than the UK’s and the process can be even more rigorous, so ensure you are organised with all the right paperwork in place. You’ll need at least a 20% deposit, although some banks require up to 35%. As in the UK, the bigger cash deposit you have, the easier you will find it to secure a loan at a decent interest rate. Portuguese mortgage rates can be some of the lowest in Europe, although tend to be priced on a variable basis.

    Unlike other European countries Portuguese loans can cover work required on a property. You will need to prove your ability to pay the loan back and rental income cannot be included.

    Also, bear in mind it is good practice to borrow in the same currency you intend to repay the loan in. This avoids currency fluctuations moving against you. For example, if you are paying your mortgage with your UK salary, borrow in sterling. If you are funding your purchase through renting your Portuguese home out, borrow in euros.

    What other costs are involved?

    Home-buying charges vary in Portugal, according to whether it’s a new-build or a re-sale property and whether you will be a permanent resident. As a rule of thumb, you should allow up to 15% of the purchase price for costs and fees. These charges are broken down as follows:

    • Tax

    o   VAT (IVA) for new-build property is payable at the standard rate of 23%. It’s usually included in the property price.

    o   Transfer Tax (IMT) for resale property. The valuation of this tax is based on a sliding scale which can be between 0% and 8% depending on the declared value (rather than selling price) and whether you intend to live in the home permanently.

    • Bank charges
    • Notary fees
    • Surveyor fees (optional)
    • Legal Fees
    • Deed registration fee
    • Utility fees (new-build only)

    Get the most for your money

    • When moving large amounts of cash a small difference in rate can equal a huge loss or saving – a 1% change when exchanging £500,000 can mean £5,000 either way for example.
    • FX (Foreign Exchange): Banks generally offer poorer rates than specialist FX providers
    • Be aware that FX companies are not covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS), so do your research and ask questions

    Who do I need to help me with my purchase?

    A lawyer: In the UK, the nature of our conveyancing process means that using a solicitor is the norm. This is not always the case in Portugal, so the one appointment that’s highly recommended is a good independent lawyer who speaks English (if you don’t speak Portuguese) and will work for you and protect your interests alone.

    When making your choice, ensure your lawyer has no connection with the agent or developer. Even if your agent recommends a brilliant one to you that ‘they always work with’, be wary. It is possible they have a financial relationship. One way around this of course, is to engage your lawyer first. Check the AIPP website where you will find a list of specialist property lawyers based in either the UK or Portugal.

    An agent: Agents in Portugal are legally required to be licensed and hold professional qualifications but they are not regulated by the state. Choose one that’s a member of a trade association, such as the AIPP which will mean you get recourse to a property ombudsman and financial compensation.

    Bear in mind it’s not uncommon for Portuguese agents to ask you to sign a document before they show you any property at all. This protects their commission in case you see it through another source.

    Your notary or notário (a public official): Mandated to ensure legal affairs are conducted properly and the correct taxes are paid, notaries should not be confused with lawyers. They do not act for either the vendor or the buyer – and are usually local to the area you are purchasing in. A recommendation to a notary by your agent or your vendor will suffice, although you are free to choose.

    A surveyor: A surveyor or agrimensor is not a legal necessity but if you are buying a home that has either had a lot of building work or needs a lot of work done it is good insurance against nasty surprises. If you’d commission a survey on the property in the UK, do the same in Portugal.

    A removal firm: Finally, the move itself may require a removal firm if you are taking your possessions with you. As with the UK, it is wise to choose an insured company who are members of an association. Specialist overseas removal experts will lead you through the process and advise you on storage, sea transit and regulations you may be unaware of when transferring your goods to Portugal.

    What can I expect from the legal process?

    The Portuguese legal process, when it comes to property can take as little as a month. But, depending on the property, documents required and level of service, it could take up to five.

    Here is a six-step plan of what to expect:

    Step One: Once you have had an offer accepted you may be asked to sign a reservation agreement which, although not legally binding, does demonstrate your commitment to buy.

    At this point, the seller should remove the property from the market. You may also have to stump up a small deposit as a gesture of intention but this should be retained by your lawyer – not handed over to the agent or vendor.

    Step Two: Your lawyer will carry out checks to ensure the property is free from any existing debts – and that the seller is, in fact, the legal owner of the property and has the right to sell it.

    Relevant and various documents including tax certificates, local council licences and any planning or project approval will also be collected.

    If you haven’t already, this is also when you’ll need to obtain a tax identity number (NIF) from the local tax office. This is similar to a National Insurance number and you’ll need it to open a Portuguese bank account.

    Finally, a survey will be carried out and builders consulted if you are planning any building or renovations.

    Step Three: If you are happy to proceed after the legal checks and surveys, this is when you move onto the preliminary contract or contrato de promessa de compra e venda (CPCV). This is very similar to an exchange of contracts in the UK – and it’s also legally binding.

    A non-refundable deposit is now required, normally of 10% of the purchase price but it can vary. If the vendor pulls out of the sale once this contract has been signed they’ll have to pay you twice the deposit as compensation.

    Step Four: Main purchase funds will now need to be put in place. If you are using a mortgage, the lender will arrange for the funds to be sent directly to the notary or vendor. If you’re paying with cash, your bank or currency exchange company will organise the transfer.

    Step Five: Around four weeks after you have signed the CPCV, you will be invited to the notary’s office along with your lawyer for the completion or escritura de compra e venda – where the deeds of sale or escritura are signed. If you are unable to travel to Portugal, you must appoint power of attorney to your chosen representative to sign on your behalf.

    The balance of money owing will be transferred to the vendor and all other associated costs paid to the notary.  And this is when you get the keys.

    Step Six: Once the deeds are signed, and the notary has registered you as the new owner, you need to ensure your name is lodged at the land office and the local tax office.

    Note: if you are buying a new-build property you may be asked to pay the purchase price in key stages throughout the build, rather than make a one-off payment on completion. You will be charged each time you make a cash transfer so shop around for the cheapest way to do it – this could be a FX company rather than your bank. Make sure you receive guarantees for each payment.

    What potential pitfalls should I be wary of?

    So long as you’ve enlisted the help of an independent lawyer your home-buying process in Portugal should run smoothly. However, it’s still worth reading these common pitfalls:

    1. Failing to calculate the exchange rate correctly when working out the final purchase price

    Currency prices fluctuate all the time. And while this might be manageable when buying your holiday money if the final price of your home varies significantly from the time you made your offer, it can prove a major problem. We recommend fixing your rate via a specialist foreign exchange company.

    2. Falling into the ‘under-declared’ valuation trap

    In Portugal, taxes are based on the value of the property. No prizes for guessing then, that a common practice in the past has been to declare this amount as being much lower than the actual price paid.

    But tricks like this won’t cut it these days. The fiscal value of the majority of Portuguese properties has since been reassessed and brought in line with actual sales values. There are also now strict penalties for under-declaring.

    3. Buying a home that’s not legal

    Some purchasers (usually those without legal representation) have been caught out by buying property without a legal title or without correct planning consent for work completed. Don’t sign anything until a lawyer has looked at it first.

    4. Being inflexible on the completion date

    Although the completion date will be agreed when the preliminary sales contract is signed, bear in mind it’s only a guide. Don’t plan your move until further along the purchasing process.

    Is there anything else I should consider?

    The costs don’t stop once you’ve completed on your Portuguese property. Make sure you factor in the ongoing cost of living in Portugal and running your home to avoid any nasty surprises. Consider the following:

    Healthcare – Although there is a relatively good public health system in Portugal and reciprocal arrangements with other EU member countries, you’d still be advised to take out your own private health insurance if you can afford it.

    Taxes and Pensions – The cost of living is pretty low in Portugal compared with the UK. But, especially if you are permanently relocating, it’s still important to understand how your tax position – and state pension – will be affected. Always seek professional advice as inheritance and taxation laws differ to those in the UK.

    Planning for the unexpected – Have you thought about what would happen if you or your partner is taken seriously ill or even dies? Are you able to get back to the UK if you are needed urgently? It’s imperative to see beyond the initial property purchase and put plans (and funds) like these in place.

    Home Insurance Consider how you will use your home in Portugal and get appropriate home cover. Properties left unoccupied for long periods, for example, need special insurance.

    Follow these steps and you should soon be enjoying your new life in Portugal.

    Boa sorte!

    Top 5 tips for buying in Portugal

    2. Get an English-speaking independent lawyer
    3. Use a reputable foreign exchange company
    4. Stay in regular contact with your property-buying team

    Selling up your Portuguese property? Things to consider!

    1. Choose your agent depending on your market – local or international?
    2. Get together all necessary reports and certificates prior to putting your house on the market – it could save you precious time further down the line
    3. Consider the implications of Capital Gains Tax if you are not using the money from your sale to reinvest in Portuguese property
    4. Be realistic about the time it may take to sell your property – the more isolated or unique, the longer it could be

Makhteshim Agan Industries Participated in the 2013 Economist Feeding the World Summit on Accelerating Global Food Security

President and CEO Erez Vigodman highlights the limited global R&D funding in agriculture as a major obstacle in solving the world food crisis

Feb 04, 2013, 07:44 ET from Makhteshim Agan Industries Ltd

TEL AVIV, Israel, February 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

The Makhteshim Agan Group ("MAI" or the "Company") - The Makhteshim Agan Group ("MAI"), the world leader in branded off-patent crop protection solutions, took an active role in the leading Economist forum on global food security and sustainable agriculture. Alongside influential decision-makers including Princess Maxima of the Netherlands, who is the UN Secretary-General's Special Advocate for Inclusive Finance for Development, and the Minister of Agriculture of the Netherlands, as well as a variety of industry leaders, aid agencies, and members of the research community, MAI debated the current issues of food waste, pressure on scarce resources, and lack of R&D focus in the area of agriculture worldwide.

Erez Vigodman, President and CEO of MAI commented: "The percentage of global private R&D investment in the area of agriculture relative to global private R&D is a minute 1.5%. Within that small percentage a significant portion is dedicated to seeds and traits.

At MAI, we believe that given the increasing role of agriculture in addressing the global food challenge, a paradigm shift is needed and agriculture will need to be completely transformed by a new focus on science and technology. The future of sustainable agriculture that will successfully feed a rapidly growing population will depend on novel technologies, not only in trait improvements but also in the fields of soil science, climate smart agriculture (including precision farming), water use efficiency, agronomy, crop varieties and farming practices mechanization and services.

These technologies should help in the reduction of land degradation, improve effectiveness of water use in agriculture, increase crop yields in mature markets and boost agriculture productivity in developing countries.

Additionally, there is a need to also focus the efforts on combating food waste along every step of the food chain.

To this end, there is a need to challenge and redefine the most important productivity opportunities in agriculture, the institutional mindset, mechanisms and level of integrated approach, innovation rates and level of investment in R&D by the private sector alongside with subsidies policies and effective pricing.

In my view, Israel represents a compelling case study of how to increase sustainable agriculture in a world of limited resources and harsh agricultural climates. The necessity of a unique and innovative farming approach is no longer limited to regions similar to Israel. Innovative farming is now crucial worldwide to increase productivity and yields by using less resources in order to maintain a sustainable future. Challenges in terms of limited agricultural resources are quickly becoming a global issue, making these innovative solutions relevant for many markets away from Israel.

To meet the challenge we collectively face the next era in agriculture requires real partnerships between private and public players. At Makhteshim Agan, with our roots in Israel and unique partnership with ChemChina we have better access and more commitment to make a real difference in one of the world's largest populations."

Compensation victory for UK investor in Dubai for overdue real estate project

New Dubai property precedent decided

A property investor has been awarded a refund for an office unit he bought in a project that is 20 months behind schedule after taking the developer to court.

British businessman Ron Oakeley bought two offices in a building in Dubai’s Business Bay that was to be named after the former Formula One racing driver Niki Lauda. The proposed Niki Lauda Twin Towers building was part of a trio of projects launched by German developer Alternative Capital Invest Real Estate, in 2007.

He filed a lawsuit against ACI in March last year to try to recover more than Dh1 million ($272,000) he had invested in the project, which was due to be completed this year. The courts in Dubai are likely to get busier this year as both investors and developer resort to legal action. Investors will be more confident following the Oakeley case. Indeed, a new poll shows that 56% of people think property investors should go straight to court if developers halt or delay projects they have bought into.

The survey by Arabian Business poll has found that only 11.7% said investors should accept revised offers, especially in the current economic climate. It is estimated that more than 400 projects with a total value of over $300 billion were placed on hold or cancelled in the UAE last year.

And developers are more prepared than ever to take action over property owners that have not paid their annual maintenance fees. It is estimated that about one third have not done so, some of whom are in dispute over rising costs.

One developer confirmed that it has applied to get a court order to force apartment owners to pay any outstanding fees. ‘We generally take a year’s maintenance fee before handover. The problem now is that owners are not paying from the second year onwards,’ said a spokesman.

Another developer reported that 70% of owners in its buildings had paid the yearly fee but it was having to fund the remainder, which was an additional burden on in tough times.

Dubai’s Real Estate Regulatory Authority has previously warned developers not to raise maintenance fees, the values of which must be cleared by the authority. Meanwhile investor confidence in the GCC region fell for the second month in a row and the real estate sector is forecast to decline even further over the next six months, according to research from Dubai based investment bank SHUAA Capital.

Its latest GCC Investor Confidence Index shows that confidence levels in the six nation GCC declined for the second month in a row, with February down 8.9 points on average. The report said that uncertainty around the Dubai World debt restructuring was at the heart of investors’ continued pessimism.

The United Arab Emirates declined the most and dropped 11.7 points, followed by Saudi Arabia, down 8.7 points, and Qatar down 5.8 points. The UAE Index now stands at 84.4 points, below the critical 100 point mark and just 1.9 points off of its all-time low following the Dubai World standstill announcement in November last year.

UAE investors were also less enthusiastic about the economic prospects for the next six months, with only 17.5% predicting the outlook will improve and 25% believing it will worsen.

By comparison, in Saudi Arabia 42% of investors believe things will improve and only 2.5% foresee a decline. On average, 30% of investors in the GCC see economic conditions improving over the next six months.

TMG GT86 Cup: Head-to-head race for the title win

  • Four teams with valid chances of the title in TOYOTA’s one-make cup
  • Unchanged state of the table before the eighth round
  • Test opportunity on the Grand Prix course

It is the time of the arithmetic artists. For the eighth of the nine races in the TMG GT86 Cup on 7 October, the top teams will all have their eyes on the points as the final reckoning beckons. As it was often the case in the history of the one-make cup of TOYOTA Motorsport GmbH the fight for the Cup title will go to the wire.

In front, Milltek Racing lead by nine points and are therefore favourites going into the penultimate race of the year. 115 points have been won so far by the British team, which has been victorious in three TMG GT86 Cup races. Chasing them, Toyota Swiss Racing has won two races so far in 2017 with a total of 106 championship points. But there is still nothing decided yet, as all Cup participants have one scratch result at the end of the season. While the Swiss team, due to their failure in the first race, would lose “only” two points for the pole position, leader Milltek Racing would have to scratch ten points for fifth place in the third race. 105 points for Milltek Racing to 104 points for Swiss Racing would then be the adjusted standings.

Steve Pound, Managing Director of Milltek Sport and team boss of Milltek Racing, summed up the excitement with one sentence: “Actually, after seven races everything is almost exactly the same as at the start of the season. Nothing is decided.” However, the Briton expressed his determination to defend that lead until the final round on 21 October. “We will do everything we can to get the trophy for the overall win.”

Toyota Swiss Racing has exactly the same plan. “Now it depends on every little thing. You cannot afford to make mistakes and you have to take the right balance of some risk and safety,” explains Roland Baumann, team boss of the reigning Cup champions.

Pit Lane – AMC Sankt Vith is ranked third overall with 78 points at the moment and has no reason to fear a strike result due to its zero-point weekend in the first round. Although Leutheuser Racing & Events is fourth in the table, they have also mathematical chances for the title. The winner in 2013, the debut year of the Cup, so far has 69 points and as well a zero-point scratch result.

San Francisco 49ers linebacker charged with drug posession

San Francisco 49ers linebacker charged with drug posession

Reuben Foster was arrested in Alabama with cannabis on him

Foster has posted a $2,500 bond and was released. The charge is a misdemeanor in Alabama.

The 49ers issued a statement that read: "The San Francisco 49ers organization is aware of the matter involving Reuben Foster and we are currently gathering all relevant facts."

The arrest is noteworthy in part because Foster failed a drug test at the NFL draft combine last spring. His urine sample was found to be diluted, which is against the league's drug-testing rules.

The league also kicked Foster out of the combine due to an argument with a student hospital aide while undergoing a medical exam. He ultimately dropped from being a potential top-10 to top-20 draft pick to being selected by the 49ers at No. 31.

Asked after the draft if the diluted drug sample made Foster a risky pick, 49ers general manager John Lynch said, "You know, maybe in some people's minds. We spoke with Reuben about that and felt comfortable about that situation as well. ...

"I think it was a long (draft) day for him. It sure sounded like he had a long day, which you can imagine. You know, when you're expecting probably to be taken much higher, that's tough on a kid. But I feel really good not only because we got a great player, because I think we're going to have a great plan for the young man both on the field and we care about the kid."

The University of Alabama product played 10 games for San Francisco this season, all starts. He made 72 tackles and was credited with one pass defensed. Foster missed five games due to a high ankle sprain and another due to back spasms.
