Pension led funding
Pension Led Funding (PLF) is a financial services product offered in the United Kingdom (UK) that raises funds for businesses based upon the use of pension benefits accrued by owners or directors of the business they control. The money can then be used for the provision of a secured commercial loan , the purchase of commercial property, *the purchase of intellectual property assets, or the purchase of share capital (ordinary and redeemable preference shares).
Various corporate structures are eligible for this type of finance, including sole trader, partnership, limited liability partnership, limited company or franchise. The funding must be compliant with both financial regulations[1] and Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC) prescriptions, and be planned so as to benefit both the company and the Pension Fund belonging to the business owner.
The two main sources of funds for PLF are Member-Directed Registered Pension Schemes, i.e. Self-Invested Personal Pensions (SIPP's) and Small Self-Administered Schemes (SSAS's). The schemes are typically devised by suitably-qualified and authorised financial advisers and implemented by experienced pension scheme administrators. Other professionals (i.e. chartered surveyors, solicitors and valuation specialists) may also be indirectly involved in the process.
Claimed benefits[edit]
The benefits of PLF claimed by providers[2][3][4] are that such schemes provide access to commercial finance in circumstances when traditional lending options (such as bank loans or invoice discounting / factoring) to businesses is restricted and/or subject to potentially onerous terms. In PLF schemes, it is the owners of the business and funds who decide whether the risks are acceptable, not an outside party such as a bank. Thus, providers claim that PLF can assist business owners in achieving financial and operational independence, control and flexibility.[5][6] According to independent research by Nesta (charity) and the University of Cambridge: "Since obtaining funding, 62 per cent have seen their profit grow, 59 per cent have increased turnover and 43 per cent have employed more people."[7]
Assessment of appropriateness[edit]
Financial and taxation regulations require that a PLF programme must benefit the owner(s) of the pension scheme.[8] Thus PLF providers require that several criteria are satisfied through a process of due diligence to establish the suitability of a PLF programme on a case by case basis. The risks associated with PLF make it less appropriate for some, particularly those who have few non-pension assets or whose organisation's cashflow position is such that it would prevent scheme repayments. A detailed analysis of attitude to risk and capacity for loss is, therefore, part of the process of assessment.
The due diligence process includes detailed assessment of the following:
- Company accounts
- Track record
- Business Plan
- Projections for the individual business and the business sector in which it operates
- Motivations and future plans of the business owner(s)/director(s)
- The existing pensions of the business owner(s)/director(s)
Like any form of investment, PLF is not without risk.
Regulatory risk[edit]
Ensuring that the process is compliant with relevant financial and taxation regulations is an important and complex consideration. Those seeking to implement a PLF programme can reduce the risk of failure to comply with regulations by engaging the services of suitably experienced and qualified financial professionals to set up the PLF arrangement.
The legislation governing the self-investment of accrued pension funds is complicated. Most of the current rules and regulations came into effect on 6 April 2006,[9] although there have been some amendments and developments since that time.
The sanctions imposed in the event of non-compliance and/or misconduct (whether due to oversight or malpractice) can be severe.[10][11][12] Working with Financial Conduct Authority (FCA)-regulated advisers and pension administrators who ensure all Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC) scheme registration criteria are met is, therefore, to be recommended.
Risk of default[edit]
Using some of the accrued pension benefits of an individual (or a group) to fund a single trading entity is a relatively high-risk undertaking.[13] This is why pension funds are often placed in a spread of investments to minimise the risk of loss. Risk also comes from the degree of exposure to market vagaries and trading (mis)fortunes. It is possible to mitigate the risk of default to an extent and the provision of security or collateral is a typical characteristic of PLF transactions. Pension funds can still be detrimentally affected. In the event of a default, HMRC sanction charges can be applied if the default process has not been administered correctly.
Skill and credibility of providers[edit]
Levels of experience and specific expertise vary significantly within the finance industry.[14] Thus anyone who is looking to engage in a PLF programme should be encouraged to research the options thoroughly, giving equal attention to assessing the credibility of practitioners.
There are typically two main costs with PLF. An advisory firm will devise a suitable strategy, having satisfied the relevant due diligence and compliance requirements. A trustee/administration company will then assume responsibility for the implementation of the project (in accordance with HMRC rules and regulations). It is standard practice for advisers and administrators to be paid separately for their respective services.

Samsung Honda's Ryuichi Kiyonari came away from the Oulton Park MCE British Superbike weekend with a third place podium. He was in contention for another rostrum in the final race but went wide at Hizzy's, shich placed him at the pack of the grid. In the end he found the speed to go from last to tenth. But the rider is still struggling with his race pace, and understands that he needs to improve over the next two rounds, in order for him to make it into the Showdown places.
In race two, the Japanese racer was able to take advantage of his crashing team-mate, Alex Lowes to take another valuable podium, and Kiyo admits that he was lucky.
"I don't want to keep saying 'if' but if I had more laps on the last race I could have ended higher than I did, and had a better position. I finished the weekend positively, but I qualified in seventeenth then I got podium and then tenth is a little bit better," said Kiyonari, speaking to bikesportnews.com.
"It is good that I got on the podium, and a podium is a podium and I was lucky, and it was good to get podium credits. But I am still not fast enough and hopefully I can do better at Cadwell and Donington before the Showdown."

#1 Author of original report
AUTHOR: Midnite - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Saturday, February 20, 2010POSTED: Saturday, February 20, 2010
Sorry for the negative press. I am not a negative person, and I think I was just surprised by the fact that I could not return something that I was not satisfied with. I realize that I was beyond the 7 day return period, and the only reason I checked to see if I could return them was I ran across the 3 unused bands this week and wondered if the company would take them back to resell to someone else. I just moved and unpacked 300 boxes of household items, and the bands were among them. I didn't mean to start a firestorm. Sorry, sorry, sorry. I will donate the unused bands to the local animal shelter.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?
#2 REBUTTAL Owner of company
Buyer wanted to return item after 2 MONTHS
AUTHOR: Pawstoadmire - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Saturday, February 20, 2010POSTED: Saturday, February 20, 2010
What the buyer has "forgotten" to mention is that she purchased these items over 2 months ago. Yes, we do have a 7-day return policy and we are happy to extend it another week or so when the buyer requests, but over 2 months is not acceptable. She purchased these belly bands on Dec 12 2009, she received them on Dec 17 2009, and didn't contact us about returning them until Feb 19 2009. Even QVC has only a 30-day return policy!
Regarding our bands not working on a smooth coated dog, this is completely untrue. The reason the bands did not work is not because her dog had a smooth coat, it was because the bands she ordered were not WIDE enough because she chose the wrong width for her dachshund. Dachshunds as we all know are very long, therefore need a wide band. She ordered belly bands with only a 4.5" width which is standard for short waisted dogs. When buyers place an order we do not know what breed of dog they are purchasing for. We have a size chart on all of our belly band pages so buyers can decide for themselves which width would be appropriate for their dogs. We also have a seperate product listing especially for "Extra wide bands" for these types of dogs. This buyer simply ordered the wrong size and didn't attempt to return them until after 2 months had gone by.
Furthermore, we do not accept returns for USED dog diapers, as this is completely unsanitary. In 2 months the bands are likely full of dog hair, or dust, possibly dog urine from "testing", and any house smells are absorbed by the bands. If they are smokers, the bands will smell like smoke. These factors all make these bands unsanitary and unable to be resold. This is the reason for our 7-day return policy on UN-used items. This way buyers can test them to be sure they fit correctly and if not, they can immediately return the unused bands. Not wear them for 2 months and then attempt to return the used dog diapers! The average customer knows if they will work for their dog within a day or two, it does not take 2 months.
This buyer is attempting to tarnish our business because (1) she ordered the wrong size and (2) she didn't decide to return them until after using them for over 2 months.
We sent this customer a very professional and friendly email stating the reason we could not accept her return and why, and even offered a solution to help the bands fit her dog. We did not hear back from her.
We are a very honest business and we work very hard to please our customers and get our orders out as quickly as possible, sometimes working around the clock. It is very rare that we get a complaint about our products or our service. We have NO complaints against us at the Better Business Bureau.
Please take all of this into consideration when reading this "complaint". Not all buyers who make a complaint on this forum have a valid one.
Thank you!

Costa Brava ATTRACTIONS See all
Salvador Dalí once called the lovely seaside town of Cadaques "The most beautiful town in the world." Since then, scores of artistic types - including Pau Casals, Marcel Duchamp, Gabriel García Márquez, Pablo Picasso, Joan Miró, and even Walt Disney - have taken the time to test the waters themselves.
Today, its quiet cobbled streets, wending through a maze of modernist homes, charming hotels, and restaurants renowned for their tasty local cuisine, are among the Costa Brava's top attractions. Visitors come from all over the world, and many stay on for a lifetime.
Cadaques can get packed during the summer high season, when the city's population can swell to five times normal size. Never fear! If tr anquility is what you seek, explore the rugged coastline that has inspired so many artists, or visit nearby natural reserves such as Aiguamolls de l'Empordà, with its wealth of bird life, or Cap de Creus, with fantastic views.
Practical Info
Most people fly into Barcelona's busy El Prat Airport (BCN), with direct flights from all over Europe. There's no direct train service between Barcelona and Cadaques, but you can take the metro from Barcelona as far as the city of Figueres. From there, regular buses head out to the wildest part of the Costa Brava, and quaint city of Cadaques. There are also direct buses between Barcelona and Cadaques.
Once you arrive, the town is compact enough that most visitors will be able to stroll between the major sites. Taxis and buses can take you to most destinations outside town.

They buy the credit reports that state who is in Foreclosure and they SOLICIT you using another SCAM company called REACHING U network.
They tell you all of these wonderful stories about how you can get your house for FREE.
They con you into getting a free consultation with an Attorney, who is some guy in New York!!! My house was in Texas! I seriously Doubt he would fly to Texas and help me.
Freedom Legal then puts you in a bogus program called MAP that takes 4 months to get you an Audit of your home.
*** NEWS FLASH*** it only takes one week to get the AUDIT done. THEY STEAL YOUR MONEY!!!!
The Salesmen there are VERY PUSHY!!! And they YELL at you on the phone.
The whole thing is a sham! I was with them for 10 months at $750 per month.
I didn't want to believe that I would lose my house, but I ended up losing it. I could have been $8,000 richer had I NOT been ROBBED by Freedom Legal.

How about WP2PDF?
Wow, this is obviously what I was looking for.
Great, thanks !
Is it working for WP 1.5 version? I'll give it try.
I have it implemented. I put it into the loop. I call it this way:
<?php comments_popup_link(__('Comments and Trackbacks (0)'), __('Comments and Trackbacks (1)'), __('Comments and Trackbacks (%)')); ?>
>PDF File
Works good except for 1 problem. It will blow up if there is a GIF file in the post. A jpg works great but not GIF.
Anyone know why? This is the error:
Warning: basename() expects parameter 1 to be string, resource given in c:\hosting\xxxx\member\xxxx\pdf\wp2pdf_inc.php on line 626
How are things going for you?
I notice the code morphed into a link.
Here is the code after the height="20"/>
<xa href=pdf/wp2pdf.php?p=<?php the_ID(); ?>>PDF File
get rid of the x after the <
Or you can turn your blog into a dead tree book
Hi, I have a problem with wp2pdf. My main language is czech and czech has "strange word" (š,ř,ž ...). wp2pdf doesnt accept it and it doesnt want to display text with this "strange" words. You can see: http://www.nasclass.wz.cz/wp2pdf-0.4.1/wp2pdf.php?p=13
Pierre, regarding your "strange characters", please read this: http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=456543
thewalrus, is there a way for wp2pdf to recognize relative links instead of full ones for images? Or did I screw something up in the install?
If I make a pdf of a post, it works fine, but if that post has a picture in it, I suddenly get some UTF issues plus the picture is gone. The text is there. I went back and exchanged my relative link for a full one and it worked great!
What's the trick?

Corporate Advocacy Program™
What's described next is the sales process from Continental Warranty for their Freedom + warranty plan. While I expected an electronic quote I received a phone call (on my cell phone no less) from a guy who called himself Chuck Hart. He's a smooth salesman and after giving him my VIN number and mileage I was told I would buy the Freedom + warranty plan. He proceeded paint a picture of an extended warranty for my low mileage Taurus that would cover everything with simple $50 co-pay. After listing almost every vehicle system, sub-system, component and part in one breathless sales pitch you feel compelled to buy. I was offered a 37 month, 37,000 mile warranty for my 1999 Taurus for $1428. He chortled, "Everything that is covered is listed on the warranty as opposed to other companies that list exclusions." This was mentioned a couple of times so I decided I have got to see the actual contract and the list of parts covered. Listing covered parts is odd. It is odd because there are well over 30,000 parts in a vehicle. So any warranty written and structured to only cover the parts listed would require a pages and pages if the warranty was as comprehensive as it was represented to be. But wait, there is more.
The last step of the phone sale to me was to talk about how to pay for the warranty. Of course, I could pay for it all up front, or finance it with 0% interest over 6 months with a down payment of $245 and six easy payment of $197.17.
Here is where I ended the phone call. I had the temerity to ask to see a written copy of the warranty including what was covered BEFORE spending any money. The salesman, Chuck Hart, said, "In order for the contract to be released some money has to change hands." That's double speak for I had to pay $245 to see what was covered. I hung up the phone. Not surprisingly, the salesman did not call back.
These guys are scam artists. Watch out for them, you may buy yourself a very expensive extended warranty that doesn't cover what breaks on you car or truck

By requiring a refundable deposit, you're showing us that your serious about a warranty and that you're not going to just stash the brochure in your glove box and wait for the car to break down.

The brother of Europa and traditional founder of Thebes in Boeotia. He killed a dragon which guarded a spring, and when (on Athene's advice) he sowed the dragon's teeth a harvest of armed men came up; he disposed of the majority by setting them to fight one another, and the survivors formed the ancestors of the Theban nobility.

Israeli police have found sufficient evidence to charge President Moshe Katsav with multiple acts of rape and sexual harassment.
The scandal comes amid political turmoil in Israel following the recent conflict in Lebanon, which many Israelis view as a failure.
The president denies claims that he forced two female employees to have sex with him, and all other allegations against him.
He has said he is the victim of a "public lynching without trial or investigation".
The police statement said: "There is sufficient evidence indicating that in several cases… the president carried out acts of rape, forced sexual acts, sexual acts without consent and sexual harassment."
"There is sufficient evidence indicating violation of the law banning wire-tapping by the president," it added.

In late October we reported that Robert Patiinson and FKA Twigs split.
At the time, we weren't sure if the rumor was true. But a new report claims the couple has canceled their wedding plans.
The newest info about their breakup claims they have been on the outs for a while now. After Pattinson and Twigs got into an argument, they stopped talking to each other ...
He and his new gf are amazing together

Jean Rollin's Lèvres de sang (1975)
TWILIGHT made buckets of money this past weekend, and while I don't wish the film any ill will, I do intend to ride out this wave by taking refuge with some more daring, subversive vampire film. Who better to go to than Jean Rollin, the subversive French film-maker who made great contributions to the reinvention of the vampire in the 1970s? In THE VAMPIRE CINEMA, David Pirie suggests that Jean Rollin takes "the vampire out of a narrative context and plac[es] it in an essentially visual frame of reference." Even as he gives Pirie gives Rollin serious critical consideration, Pirie ultimately suggests that the lack of narrative structure marks a certain weakness in his films, making them somewhat inferior to, say, Harry Kumel's DAUGHTERS OF DARKNESS. However, I find myself returning much more often to Rollin's films, most recently Lèvres de sang (known as LIPS OF BLOOD to Yanks like me.)
Arguably, Rollin focuses more on narrative here than he does in many of his other films. Rollin foregrounds childhood and innocence with a narrative that begins with a photograph of tower ruins by the seaside. This photograph calls forth memories in the protagonist, leading him to remember a mysterious, waifish woman imprisoned in the tower. He grants her a brief escape before she becomes just a vague, bittersweet memory. The rest of the film documents his quest to find the elusive tower and, effect, his childhood.
The whole film comes across as a unspooled fairy tale, complete with archetypes like a "terrible mother" and "shadow figures" in the form of female vampires awakened by the protagonist's desires. In fact, the vampires appear simultaneously lethal and pitiful in the film, just as the protagonist's quest to recover his childhood appears paradoxically as a dangerous sort of innocence, leading to unpleasant revelations about his own family.
Rollin uses stunning imagery here, including the seaside images he favors in all his films. The
Kinoeye web page
includes some excellent Jean Rollin resources that come highly recommended.

Gothic Nights (1995)
Recently, Kitty LeClaw, the dark mistress of the horror blogosphere, gave us an an
excellent posting on SPLATTER #1
, an anthology comic that featured what appears to be an early installment of Tim Vigil's GOTHIC NIGHTS, here titled "The Countess." The story follows the doomed romance between Tanya, a truly demonic vampire woman, and her werewolf lover, Anton, who falls victim to bloodthirsty mob. Mourning the loss of her lover, Tanya turns to Dr. Frankenstein for help.
The above graphic comes from SPLATTER, but notice how Vigil revised these frames when he later published the story in the two issues of GOTHIC NIGHTS.
These issues are favorites of mine, as they give us what is essentially a Universal/Hammer story hopped up on a cocktail of steroids and Viagra.
At some point, the story was available as a graphic novel, but I've only been able to track down the individual issues of the comic book. Below, I've scanned the striking cover art, and apparently,
Broken Halo
still sells copies. Trust me, these are well worth seeking out.

BLACK MASS: a 1920s obscurity?
Someone on the Classic Horror Discussion Board called attention to this strange little kinky film. I'm half inclined to think that it really originates later than the silent era--in fact, with sound and color, it could easily be a 70s production--but perhaps it's a dirty little obscurity from that earlier period. Any theories? WARNING: It's definitely not work safe.
UPDATE: According to Gary L. Prange in a
on the Classic Horror Discussion Board, the clip comes from a 1928 French stag film called MESSE NOIRE.

Monster Art: Punk Rock Style
Take the pioneering 1960s pop art of Basil Gogos and James Bama. Throw in a dose of punk rock. Result: the work of Bryan Baugh and David Hartman, two artists who carry on the tradition of featuring classic and contemporary horror characters.
Both give us representations with a delightfully nasty attitude and high dose of sexuality. Check out Baugh's colorful images of the Creature from the Black Lagoon lusting menacingly for Julie Adams, or Hartman's interpretations of Rob Zombie's Devil's Rejects.

Random Stuff: The Sweet, the Bloody, the Sublime
Dig this iconic image from Lucio Fulci's seminal 1980s film, THE BEYOND. Often celebrated for creating chunkblowing masterpieces, Fulci's best work combined grotesque, over-the-top imagery with sublime images like this one. Romero has given us zombies that function as social metaphors, but Fulci's zombies reflect the nightmare of human existence: that a truly spiritual dimension is nothing more than another waste land (as seen here) that offers no escape from our material existence as meat. And what is a zombie but just meat?
As most readers of this blog will already know, Fulci created much of his best work in the early 1980s, as he followed up ZOMBI 2 with THE GATES OF HELL, THE HOUSE BY THE CEMETERY, NEW YORK RIPPER, and THE BEYOND. These films often draw our attention to the eyes as the spiritual center, the focal point of human existence. Yet, the eye also becomes subject to tearing, to destruction, to blindness. I recently revisted THE BEYOND courtesy of the new Grindhouse DVD, and while I still find that the graphic violence has impact, I feel more and more drawn to the film's surrealism and its ability to make me feel like I've visited a truly otherworldly place. Those blasted out and blinded eyes Fulci shows us? He was trying to say something about our place as viewers.
Meanwhile, I also recently revisted Jess Franco's, BLOODY MOON, a 1981 film that borrows heavily from the America-style slasher film in vogue at the time. Nevertheless, this viewing left me with the sense that Franco accomplished something more in line with the Italian giallo, with its red herrings and emphasis on voyeurism. At the risk of making the film something more than it really is--basically something Franco did for a pay-check--it still manages to seem more artful than the American equivalent at the time, with (BEWARE SPOILER) an ending that calls to mind Mario Bava, who also gave us endings that presented more than one perpetrator
For a Franco film, the effects work looks more professional than the painted-on blood often seen in some of his scaled-down, more personal productions, like VAMPYROS LESBOS or VIRGIN AMONG THE LIVING DEAD. While I generally prefer those more personal films, I still have fun with BLOODY MOON, which stands well above most of the other stalk'n'slash films of the early 1980s. Plus, it features a truly cruel "must-see" moment with a circular saw.
Lastly, a confession: the film adaptation of TWILIGHT opens today, with me about two-thirds of the way through the novel. I told myself I didn't have to read it, that I had other things more worth my time. But when a horror (lite) novel captures that much attention, I feel like I just oughta know what's going on. I have to say that it's not changing my life, and I'm not ready to start decorating my Facebook page with Flair images of Edward. Nor do I think we really need yet another instance of the "romantic" vampire (another confession: I only made it through the first two books of Rice's Vampire Chronicles). Still, I can see why young readers go for this stuff. I even feel strangely connected to my inner teenage girl (though I'm a 39 year old straight guy). And, I have to say, the book's kind of . . . hot, though in a really chaste, Mormon kind of way. As a vampire, Edward's drawn to Bella's bouquet, her scent, and I'm struck by how just about every page of the novel contains something wet and moist--just not what you might expect. Still, after finishing it, I think I'll need a good chaser to wash it down--maybe I'll finally finish VARNEY THE VAMPIRE.

Lovecraft For Your Ears
Well, the plague came to the Tomb, and at the most unwelcome time possible. I spent the week before and after Halloween utterly sick and haven't been able to bring myself to write much. Hence why you heard little unholy howling this Halloween season. The holiday months ahead will have to make up somehow, and we're going to start with Lovecraft . . .
If you've looked at the links in the sidebar, you may have come across the H. P. Lovecraft Historical Society, an organization that, among other things, has produced a sterling 1920s style silent film production of THE CALL OF CTHULHU. In addition, they have gone on to produce a handful of adaptations in the style of "old time radio" of Lovecraft's stories, beginning with AT THE MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS. I spent some of my convalescence time catching up with THE DUNWICH HORROR, another story in Lovecraft's "Cthulhu Mythos." A prior audio adaptation of the play found listeners in 1945 thanks to the radio show SUSPENSE, and thanks to DataJunkie, you can listen to that program by going
While I love programs like SUSPENSE (along with THE WITCH'S TALE, WEIRD CIRCLE, and others), it's still a shame that they seldom turned to Lovecraft's work for material. With that in mind, it's refreshing to find the HPLHS bringing us new adaptations of such professional quality. THE DUNWICH HORROR stands as one of Lovecraft's more chilling stories, where libraries and old books become sources of terror and paranoia. We also see the author's signature anxiety over miscegenation, and as outmoded and silly as such fears rightfully appear today, Lovecraft's "Old Ones" still come across as brilliantly conceived.
Definitely check out this production, which the
HPLHS store
offers both as a CD and as a downloaded MP3. The CD comes packed with pseudo-reproductions of newspaper clippings and pages of archaic tomes. Your hard-earned dollars will be well-spent.

Princeton, W.Va. (AP) -- A former Miss West Virginia wants cockfighting to become a felony offense in West Virginia.
Summer Wyatt says she will use her new position as state director in West Virginia for the Humane Society of the United States of America to press the issue with lawmakers during this year's legislative session.
The 60-day session starts Jan. 13.
Wyatt says West Virginia is one of 11 states that doesn't consider cockfighting a felony offense.
She says since it's only a misdemeanor in West Virginia, people who engage in cockfighting might be drawn to the state.
Wyatt says senate judiciary chairman Jeff Kessler has agreed to introduce legislation making cockfighting a felony.

Different enemies ganged up to plan the murder, arrange shooters
The police today claimed to have worked out the case of VIP astrologer Ramesh Tiwari's murder after arresting three men in Jaunpur district.
Tiwari was shot dead by two motorcycle-borne youths in police uniform using a carbine and a pistol outside his house in Oonchgaon village of Sarpataha area on November 15. Additional DG (ADG) Law & Order Arun Kumar said Tiwari and his brothers had disputes over different matters with some people in the area who formed a group and hatched the murder conspiracy.
The disputes over panchayat elections, contract for construction of Kasturba Gandhi school in Oonchgaon and altercation with some locals during the last few months have come out as reasons behind Tiwari's murder, said the ADG. He said that three conspirators Vijay Bahadur Singh, Kaushal Kishore Singh and Virendra Bahadur Singh alias Dadhi who provided shelter to the shooters have been arrested while six others are absconding. They are Dhirendra Singh, his father Jharkhandi Singh, Amit alias Pandit and Lalshanker Upadhyay alias Bachai and the two shooters.
The police said that Dhirendra, who owns Maa Tara nursing home in Jaunpur city, was the main conspirator.
His father had lost election of gram pradhan to Tiwari's father Rajendra Prasad in the last panchayat election. This had led to an enmity between Tiwari and Dhirendra.
Tiwari and his brothers also had an altercation with Bachai and Amit of their village over contract of construction of a school building.
To settle score with Tiwari, Dhirendra and others planned the murder and hired the shooters. The shooters stayed at Dhirendra's associates (Virendra's) house in Oonchgaon while Vijay Bahadur, Bachai and Virendra's nephew Kaushal conducted recce with the shooters. Bachai informed the shooters about Tiwari's presence outside his house, while Vijay Bahadur made calls to others giving information about the murder, said police.
