What does it take to coax a retired legend into acting again? 75-year-old Sean Connery is retired from his long-lived career in Hollywood, according to statements made by the actor himself. His last film was the flop The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen in 2003, and Connery apparently now keeps himself busy writing.
Nevertheless, George Lucas and Harrison Ford both want Henry Jones Sr. back for the fourth and final Indiana Jones romp. Lucas told the entertainment TV show Access Hollywood on Friday that he was pushing to have Connery reprise his role as Indy's father once more.
"I would love him to be in the next Indiana Jones...maybe I can push him into it.
"We are writing him in whether he wants to do it or not."
Lucas's comments come hot on the heels of a special salute to Sean Connery at the American Film Institute. Connery received the AFI's 34th lifetime achievement award, and those giving on-stage tributes included Lucas, Spielberg, and Ford &#Array; all partners in Indiana Jones 4. Ford himself presented Connery with his AFI trophy, after garnering laughs by calling the distinguished thespian "dad".
It appears there's a good chance Connery will join the picture; some news sources are already reporting it as confirmed, although that is apparently not the case. If he doesn't, however, does that mean more script work and further setbacks for Indiana Jones 4?
On a side note, Spielberg was spotted last month in Queensland, Australia. Checking out shooting locations for Indiana Jones? Who knows &#Array; the director, who apparently also visited Japan, is keeping mum on his excursion for the moment.

The ice cream is available in two flavours. The Vegan Classic (right) is similar to the brands signature treat having a solid chocolate couverture wrapped around ice cream inside and the Vegan Almond (left) has crunch pieces in the shell
And the Vegan Almond ice cream has crunchy almond bits embedded in the outer layer.
The vegan chocolate has been made with responsibly sourced cocoa beans from Rainforest Alliance Certified farms.
Magnum has even made sure the treats have been certified as Vegan by the European Vegetarian Union.
The new release comes after two successful launches in Sweden and Finland, reports HuffPost.
The Ice creams, which come in packs of three, are priced at a very reasonable £3.69 and are initially available at Tesco.
Vegan's on Twitter have expressed their joy at plant based products becoming more mainstream and finally being able to enjoy some delicious ice cream.
One person wrote: 'Vegan Magnum ice-creams launched today and Hellman’s vegan mayo coming soon... what a time to be alive!'
Others showed off their vegan ice creams to friends, spreading the word about the new product.
People on Twitter have said they're happy with the new product, making vegan food more easily available in mainstream stores
'Anything that makes plant-based options more accessible and appealing to all is brilliant. I’m excited. The speed of change is breathtaking.'
Another tweeted: 'New vegan magnum in Tesco peeps £3.89 veganism is definitely on the rise, it's awesome.'
However some have already questioned how easy it will be to source some of Magnum's newest products before the supermarket freezers are emptied.
Stuart wrote: 'A vegan magnum, now I am genuinely impressed. How easy will it be to get though?'
The ice creams are initially available only at Tesco and are priced at £3.89 for four

Rebels Marathon: Rise of the Darksaber
Rebels Marathon: Rise of the Darksaber
In the second half of season three of Star Wars Rebels, we were treated to a vergence in the story that was a long time coming. Sabine Wren has been a wonderfully well-developed character, with a haunting background. Yet, her haunting background had not been fully revealed until the episode Trial of the Darksaber! Below is a marathon of episodes to refresh our minds on the events that led to Wren’s call to action in her heroine's journey.
Art Attack (short video here)
What better place to start than her first introduction to us in this short video. Here we see Sabine infiltrate an Imperial base to cause an artistically explosive distraction!
Droids in Distress (Season 1)
In this episode, Sabine puts her training from the Mandalorian Academy to good use, as she steps in for some improvisational translating. Pay close attention to the compliments from Minister Maketh Tua at the beginning.
Out of Darkness (Season 1)
This episode reveals our first real glimpse of Sabine's past. She left the Empire because they hid information from her. Something Hera appears to be doing to her now. It takes a lot to get either one to trust each other, but trust goes both ways.
Path of the Jedi (Season 1)
This is not Sabine focused but comes into play later on. This episode is where Ezra and Kanan go to a Jedi Temple to further their training. Both must face challenges inside themselves.
Blood Sisters (Season 2)
When on a mission together, Ezra and Sabine run into someone from Sabine’s past. Here we learn briefly more about the life Sabine led before joining up, with the Ghost crew.
The Protector of Concord Dawn (Season 2)
In this episode, the Rebellion is looking, for alternative hyperspace lanes that will be not tracked by the Empire. In their search, we are introduced to Fenn Rau, who is the leader of the Mandalorians on Concord Dawn. Sabine reveals herself to her fellow Mandalorians in bold fashion.
Shroud of Darkness (Season 2)
Again, this is not Sabine focused but crosses into her path soon. In this episode, Ezra and Kanan return to the Jedi Temple on Lothal, with Ahsoka to discover the best course of action against the Inquisitors.
Twilight of the Apprentice pt1/2 (Season 2)
The shadow emerges! In this episode, it is revealed that Maul is still alive, who has a deep connection to Sabine's people on Mandalore. Characters collide as they send the Ghost crew in a drastically new direction.
The Holocrons of Fate (Season 3)
In this episode, Maul holds the Ghost crew hostage until Ezra gives him the Sith Holocron. How cruel Maul’s comments are to Sabine. Much is revealed to Maul’s intentions, but more is to be revealed of his true vision.
Imperial Supercommandos (Season 3)
Sabine and Ezra return to Concord Dawn, with prisoner Fenn Rau. Much sadness ensues as reality comes into focus that the Empire had left their mark. Much is revealed of the current fractured state of Mandalore.
Visions & Voices (Season 3)
Maul returns to further use Ezra in order to complete his mission of revenge. Ezra learns more about the Sith. About Dathomir. Sabine, in the end, obtains the key to the future of Mandalore.
Trials of the Darksaber (Season 3)
And here we are. The fate of Mandalore rests on the shoulders of Sabine. Something she was not prepared to face… The beauty of this episode is how it puts into focus the extent Sabine has gone to save her people and the events that followed.
The Journey Ahead
This is only the beginning. How Sabine rises to the challenges she has yet to face is bound to be epic. It is exciting to see the journey she will go on. I hope you enjoyed rewatching these episodes, and if that is not enough, there are even more to go back to watch! Rebels has done a great job of peeling back the stories to these characters. Comment below your favorite Sabine moments, and thank you for reading!

These easy no-bake cheesecakes look fabulous set in individual glasses but work just as well made as one large cake by using a 21cm loose bottom cake tin.
1 packet biscuits (I love to use ginger nuts or chocolate wheatens)
2 cups of fresh berries
2 tbsp Limoncello (optional. A good dessert wine is also nice)
1 tbsp icing sugar
1 tsp lemon zest
500g cream cheese, soft
¾ tin condensed milk
juice of 1-2 lemons
1 tsp powdered gelatine
3 tbsp hot water
Crush the biscuits. I find the easiest way to do this is in the food processor. Add the melted butter and mix well. Divide the biscuit crumbs between 6 glasses or press into the base of your cake tin. Set aside and chill.
Melt the gelatine in the hot water, stirring to remove all lumps. Beat the cream cheese until smooth and then add the condensed milk and juice of one lemon. Taste the mixture to see if you need more lemon juice and add if required along with the gelatine and water.
Pour or pipe the cheesecake mixture evenly into the glasses or cake tin and allow to set in the fridge for at least 3 hours.
To make the berry topping, mix all the fruit in a non-metallic bowl. If using strawberries, chop them into quarters. Add the Limoncello and icing sugar, mix and then allow the berries to stand at room temperature for an hour or two. Spoon the berries over the cheesecakes just before serving.

If you are a veteran and have sleep apnea, you may be entitled to VA disability benefits. Of course, many people who have sleep apnea have not been diagnosed and don’t know that they have symptoms that are attributable to this sleep disorder. Before you can decide whether you may have a good VA disability claim for sleep apnea, it is important to understand exactly what it is.
What does sleep apnea do?
There are really three kinds of sleep apnea based on the cause. All three types have a similar result – a sleep disorder resulting in the disruption of a person’s breathing during sleep. That means the person stops breathing. This sometimes happens hundreds of times a night and sometimes as long as a minute or longer.
When breathing stops, the brain and the rest of the body do not get the oxygen they need. The brain then signals the body to wake up. This awakening is a sudden, violent waking unlike usual awakening in the morning after a full night’s sleep. In fact, the person suffering from sleep apnea often does not even realize he or she woke up during the night.
How do I know if I May Suffer from This Condition?
So, how do you begin the process of determining whether you have sleep apnea? If your spouse or family members complain about your snoring and waking during the night, you probably want to consult with your doctor.
Although a medical professional will be the one to make an official diagnosis after a sleep study, you can do a few quick self-assessments to get started before scheduling an appointment with your doctor. One of the simplest checklists is the American Sleep Apnea Association’s Snore Score, which asks the following questions related to the most common type, Obstructive Sleep Apnea:
- Are you a loud and/or regular snorer?
- Have you been observed to gasp or stop breathing during sleep?
- Do you feel tired or groggy upon awakening, or do you awaken with a headache?
- Are you often tired or fatigued during the wake time hours?
- Do you fall asleep sitting, reading, watching TV or driving?
- Do you often have problems with memory or concentration?
If you answer “yes” to one or more of the above questions, you may have a form of sleep apnea.
Can I receive veterans disability compensation if I Have Been Diagnosed?
There are a lot of myths about this particular form of sleep disturbance. Many think that they cannot receive veterans disability benefits for it. That is simply not the case. Many aspects of a veteran’s military service can lead to the development of this very serious condition. Sleep apnea can also lead to a host of other medical problems and even death . In later blogs we will discuss other aspects of sleep apnea, including the different causes and serious consequences of this sleep disorder.
Unfortunately, VA raters often fall into the trap of believing the myths surrounding sleep apnea. That means many veterans are denied VA disability benefits that they deserve under the law. In fact, currently only 1 out of every 4 veterans with a sleep apnea claim is granted benefits by VA. If you are one of those 75% who have been wrongfully denied, you should consult with a qualified veterans benefits attorney.
Questions about veterans benefits
If you have any questions about possible VA benefits available for sleep apnea or another disability, Perkins Studdard has veterans disability attorneys dedicated to helping veterans and their families receive the VA benefits they deserve. It can be helpful to talk to them about your questions. You can set up a free consultation about your claim. Simply call the phone number or complete the “Need Help” form on the right side of this page to schedule one.

Sunderland takeover latest and why four youngsters could pose a big dilemma for the new regime
Wearside is itching for change.
Stewart Donald agreed a deal to take over Sunderland nearly two-and-a-half weeks ago, but, as of yet, little headway has been made.
That is a source of frustration, rather than concern. Dialogue with the EFL has been positive and there is confidence that approval is close.
When it comes, the managerial hunt will move quickly and the man at the helm will then be tasked with making the squad fit for purpose in League One.
That will be no mean feat, with Sunderland set for one of their busiest summers ever with regards to player turnover.
There are few players in the squad who you could say with any level of confidence will still be here come the start of next season.
The wage bill will have to be brought down and players who can thrive at the third tier will have to be found.
A manager with a strong Football League record is therefore a must. Sheffield United chief Chris Wilder and ex-Oxford boss Michael Appleton remain the frontrunners.
When the new manager arrives, much of the outgoing business will look after itself.
Many players in the current squad will want to leave and they will not face much, if any, resistance from the club.
The key will be how much Donald and his team can get for them in terms of transfer fees, and whether they can secure viable deals for the higher earners who are unlikely to see their current contracts matched elsewhere.
There will be a dilemma, however, with four youngsters who have just one year left on their deals.
Joel Asoro and Josh Maja were offered new contracts before the departure of Chris Coleman and, while the former Sunderland boss was confident that they would commit, there has not yet been definitive progress.
The pair are still very much in the nascent stages of the career, but are more than capable of playing a part next season.
Maja needs a pre-season campaign to make up for the time lost last time out, when a knee injury curtailed his rapid progress. Nevertheless, his technique and intelligence has impressed many and, as the junior member of a battery of strikers, he could be a prominent player.
Asoro’s pace is an asset that cannot be easily replaced, and the Swede’s encouraging performances on the right wing would offer added versatility to a third-tier squad.
Slightly more experienced, and potential leaders in the squad next season, George Honeyman and Lynden Gooch both finished the 2017-18 season strongly, with the added bonus of having a natural affinity with the club.
In ordinary circumstances, they are four players which an incoming manager would love to have at their disposal, placing around them a sprinkling of greater League One experience.
Sunderland, though, are vulnerable.
If the quartet do not agree to new deals, and it does go without saying that there will be no bottomless pit of money this summer, then their value will decrease rapidly and the club could end up with nothing.
Even with outgoing owner Ellis Short wiping the significant debt, that is no way for a club to operate.
Cashing in now could open the door to recruiting some of the third tier’s best talent.
In an ideal world, it will not come to that.
It would be a big statement for the new regime to convince these homegrown talents that their future is on Wearside, and it would provide a new manager with some welcome continuity going into the next season.
There are no certainties, however.
The pace and scale of change will likely be breathtaking and no one’s position is set in stone.

Just last week virtualization.info questioned the Microsoft effort on desktop virtualization (including application virtualization and the so called enterprise desktop virtualization, what we call here platform wrappers).
Our article mentioned the MED-V lethargic development lifecycle and the fact that Microsoft stays under the radar for App-V too because at this time it may be the best thing to do.
What Microsoft is waiting for to massively push App-V and everything else beyond Hyper-V?
For App-V, the answer may be Office 2010 (codename Office 14).
During the summer in fact ZDNet reported that the new version of Office, expected somewhere in 2010, will feature a special edition called Click-To-Run.
Office 2010 CTR will be available on Microsoft servers, and streamed on the customers desktops on demand, as the Microsoft invitation letter to its beta testers describes:
Q: Can I use any of the Office 2010 applications before the install is complete?
A: Yes, you can use them while they are being streamed to your computer. You might notice some slight delays when using the product if they are not fully installed on your machine.
Does the Office 2010 products get installed on my machine every time I use an application or when I reboot my machine?
No. The Office 2010 products are streamed to your computer and installed once. After they are streamed to your computer the product stays installed on your machine.
Do I need to be connected to the Internet when I use any of the Office 2010 applications?
You only need an internet connection to download the complete product. Once it has been fully downloaded you no longer need an Internet connection.
What happens if I lose my internet connection before the complete Office 2010 product is fully downloaded?
You can still use the Office 2010 applications. But since not all of the entire product features have been streamed to your computer, your applications may have limited capabilities, depending on what has been downloaded so far. When you connection is restored, the product will continue streaming from the point that it left off…
ZDNet can’t confirm that App-V is involved but virtualization.info just received independent confirmations.
Microsoft is not really trying to keep the secret. Here’s a video introducing the CTR edition that Microsoft published just one month ago. It doesn’t mention App-V but application virtualization is clearly mentioned:
Office CTR is in private beta at the moment. Microsoft may decide to unveil it along with the Office 2010 public beta (aka beta 2), hopefully to be unveiled at TechEd Europe 2009, November 6.
If customers will embrace Office CTR it will be a major validation for application virtualization, and Microsoft will be able to leverage the awareness and interest around it by pushing its platform in the enterprise space in a completely different way.
This may also trigger the ISVs reaction: without 3rd parties applications supported on this new platform, customers could use App-V only with Microsoft products, which is a good start but not enough to reach the level of adoption that hardware virtualization has today.

Holidays in Cuba
Thank you For a Great Holiday
I want to sincerely thank your company and staff for the excellent work they did in arranging our holiday to Cuba recently. We were originally booked in (plus 2 of our friends) to the Hotel Blau in Varadero but noticing that President Obama and his entourage were scheduled to be in Havana when we were scheduled to arrive in the Capri Hotel, they were able to change our hotels. So we stayed at the Hotel Capri a few days prior to Obama arriving and then transferred to Hotel Blau in Varadero. It turned out to be a smart move in that the Hotel Capri was to be used for the Obama staff and media and a lot of the Old Havana sights were closed to tourists. Also it was definitely a good idea to encourage us to book our flights with Virgin Atlantic to upgrade to Economy Plus in that it was a long flight and we were ensconced in the 'bubble' of the Boeing 747 in both directions. Excellent suggestion. So we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in both the Hotel Capri and also the Hotel Blau in Varadero. Will definitely book again with your company in the future.

If you find yourself in the Lake Constance region, a day trip to Meersburg is a must. Not only does the town offer the idyllic lakeside views you might expect, but also lures with medieval charm, lovely wine taverns and a handful of noteworthy architectural sights. We’ve created a sample itinerary as a guide on how to spend 24 hours in Meersburg.
Given that you have a jam-packed day of sight-seeing ahead of you, it’s wise to start with a sumptuous breakfast at one of Meersburg’s best cafés. Good coffee and a unique flair have earned Café Pop stellar reviews on all platforms by both locals and visitors who come here for their daily caffeine fix or to browse the shelves stocked with kitchen utensils and other everyday items. Food-wise you can expect a small selection of breakfast foods, such as fresh croissants with jam, Bavarian-style pretzels with ham and cheese, or muesli with fruits and yoghurt plus freshly-squeezed orange juice – and, of course, the best coffee in town.
Once you’ve fuelled up on food and drink, head out to explore the old town. The twisty web of cobbled alleys is lined with colourful, historical townhouses on both sides, filled with speciality boutiques, cafés, bistros and wine taverns, workshops and other quaint establishments, and you could probably spend hours going from one to the next.
But Meersburg has more to offer than that. The town is studded with sights exemplary of its long history, starting with Meersburg Castle, or Alte Burg as it’s known locally. Rooted in the 7th century, Alte Burg is the oldest inhabited fortress in Germany, and with that one of the major attractions of the region. Plan at least an hour, if not 90 minutes for your visit of the museum inside (€12,80 – around US$15) to explore the decorated rooms, including the castle kitchen, weaponry, torture chamber and dungeon, and knight’s hall.
In the 18th century, the Neues Schloss (New Castle) replaced the medieval fortress. Once you turn the corner, you’ll see that the two buildings couldn’t be any different. The New Palace boasts an imposing pink-and-white façade with architectural elements from the Baroque and Rococo period. Scheduled tours only run in German, and even though group tours in foreign languages can be arranged in advance, an audio guide (€5/US$6 including entrance fee) is a great alternative if you want to explore the Palace at your own pace. The highlight of each visit is the majestic staircase designed by star-architect Balthasar Neumann. He is also the man behind the opulent Würzburg Residence, Käppele church and other Baroque masterpieces scattered across Germany. But the list of impressive features doesn’t end there: elaborate frescoes and stucco ornaments, the extensive collection of shells, fossils and minerals, and the adorable outdoor teahouse which grants scenic views of Lake Constance are must-sees.
Depending on how much time you take to explore both attractions, you might want to head straight to lunch from here. The See Pick restaurant occupies a spot on the waterfront promenade and is an excellent choice if you like seafood and fish. The eatery is known for tasty lunch and dinner options centred around freshly-caught fish, homemade potato salad, a good selection of wine from the region, all topped with panoramic views of the lake – quite the lunchtime treat.
Since you’re at one of Europe’s largest lakes, a day in Meersburg wouldn’t be complete without taking a short boat trip. A good way to spend the afternoon is jumping aboard a ferry towards Mainau Island (€34,90/US$40 return, including entrance fee). That way you get to see Meersburg skyline in all its glory, and you can tick another highlight off the list. What’s also known as ‘island of flowers’ owes its nickname to the millions of beautifully-arranged flowers, palm trees and citrus plants that cover the vast parklands and gardens. With changing seasons, the look of the island changes entirely with tulips, roses, rhododendrons, perennials and dahlias taking turns throughout the year. Take your time to go for a stroll around the gardens, greenhouses, water features and the butterfly house, and pop into the Baroque Mainau Castle to check out the current exhibition. There are several cafés and restaurants on the island should you need a short break or want to enjoy the vistas over a drink.
Once back in town, the Meersburger Winzerstuben is the perfect location to indulge in regional and international culinary specialities and, being the official restaurant of the local vintner club, a fantastic selection of local wines. Their menu is comprised of a vast number of delightful creations á la medallions of pork with Käsespätzle, the fish platter with rice and a white wine sauce, Argentinian rump steak and apple strudel cake with vanilla ice cream. If you still grow weary of wine after dinner, you can always head over to the Zum Alten Fass gastropub for a couple of draught beers and a nightcap before you say your goodbyes to Meersburg.

On Thursday, September 26, 2019, Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy signed an executive order which protects Alaska government employees’ First Amendment rights in accordance to the Janus v. AFSCME Supreme Court decision. It mandates that state agencies obtain an affirmative and knowing waiver of any worker’s First Amendment rights prior to deducting any union dues or fees from their paychecks.
Staff attorneys from the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation won the 2018 Janus decision, which ended the practice of compulsory union dues for public employees and made the deduction of union dues from employee’s paychecks without their consent a First Amendment infringement.
National Right to Work Foundation President Mark Mix praised Alaska’s defense of public employee’s First Amendment rights:
Every American employee deserves the right to choose, free of coercion or manipulation, who will be his or her voice in the workplace. The Supreme Court in Janus extended this freedom to all public sector employees, and Alaska took a major step forward yesterday in protecting the First Amendment rights of state employees recognized in Janus.
Alaska is proactively ensuring workers are not relinquishing their First Amendment rights absent the clear and knowing voluntary waiver required by the Janus precedent. We urge other states to follow Alaska’s lead and prioritize the constitutional rights of state employees under the Janus precedent.
Janus was argued and won by staff attorneys representing the Foundation in 2018. A few days after the ruling was made, Foundation Legal Director Raymond J. LaJeunesse sent a letter to the previous Alaska Department of Administration Commissioner Leslie Ridle and 20 other payroll managers in states that force government employees to pay union dues urged them to abide by the decision by ceasing payments unless employees knowingly gave a waiver of their First Amendment right to not fund union activities. The letter alludes to the Supreme Court’s decision which explicitly stated that a waiver of such rights “’cannot be presumed[,’ r]ather, to be effective, the waiver must be freely given and shown by ‘clear and compelling’ evidence.”
LaJeunesse’s letter also threatened to bring “a civil rights action seeking class-wide injunctive relief” to state comptrollers who did not comply with Janus. So far, Foundation staff attorneys have filed more than 30 lawsuits seeking to uphold workers’ rights under the precedent established by Janus.

text: We carved our pumpkins this evening. It was so much fun sitting outside on this warm evening! Taylor's pumpkin (bottom pic) is actually a bat. It is upside down because I (great mom!) taped her image upside down. She wasn't too happy with me! We will fix it tomorrow by cutting out the bottom and flipping it over. Turn your head a little and you can see the bat! LOL! Mark did his free hand (right top) and swears this was the first time he has ever carved a pumpkin! Good job, honey!!

The Repairing Standard
Housing (Scotland) act 2006 - The Repairing Standard - Ch4 s12-29
The Repairing Standard defined within the Housing (Scotland) Act 2006 was implemented on 3rd September 2007 and “applies to any tenancy of a house let for human habitation” being specifically intended to bring standards within the ‘Private Rented Sector’ into line with ‘Social Tenancies’ that were subject to similar standards set in the Housing (Scotland) act 2001.
What does that mean to you as a landlord?
- Does this section of the act apply to me?
- What is the repairing standard?
- Is a detector mandatory?
- What type of fire detection equipment should be fitted?
- How can I make sure my property complies?
- What if I have an HMO property?
- How will the act be enforced?
- What powers does the PRHP have?
- What about vindictive tenants?
- What about energy efficiency?
- What else will be evolved from the Housing (Scotland) act 2006?
Does this section of the act apply to me?
Section 12 (1) specifically affirms that assured and short assured tenancies are not excluded and accordingly landlords with such tenancies need to comply with the repairing standard.(Back to top)
What is the repairing standard?
Section 13 The Repairing Standard (1):
- A house has to comply with the standard both at the commencement of the tenancy and during the tenancy.
- In terms of Section 13 a “house meets the repairing standard if: the house is wind and watertight and in all other respects reasonably fit for human habitation”.
- The structure and exterior of the house are in a reasonable state of repair and in proper working order.
- The insulations in the house for the supply of water, gas and electricity and for sanitation, space heating and heating water are in a reasonable state of repair and in proper working order.
- Any fixtures, fittings and appliances provided by the landlord under the tenancy are in a reasonable state of repair and in proper working order.
- Any furnishings provided by the landlord under the tenancy are capable of being used safely for the purpose for which they are designed, and the house has satisfactory provision for protecting fires and for giving warning in the event of a fire (or suspected fire).
Is a detector mandatory?
It is now mandatory to install fire detection equipment.
A principle change to your obligations is that it is now mandatory to install at least one mains powered smoke/heat detector in each living area to give warning in the event of a fire (or suspected fire)and the detectors are required to be interlinked. NB. Rules for the type of installation differ depending on the type of property and whether used as an HMO.
In Section 13(5) it states that regard has to be had to any building regulations and to any guidance issued by the Scottish Ministers on provision for detecting fires. The regulations therefore require that a mains powered device must be fitted however, this requirement will likely be amended around March 2019.
In Edinburgh a building warrant may be required before fitting a mains powered device.(Back to top)
What type of fire detection equipment should be fitted?
It is mandatory to have a ‘smoke detector’ installed irrespective of there being a warrant in place and the lack of it neither through a council delay or otherwise give justifiable cause for failing to fit one. The guidance given to us is that a detector must be fitted and if necessary, a warrant is applied for retrospectively.
Liability for compliance with Ch4 s13 (1) (f) lies with not only the Landlord but also their Agent.(Back to top)
How can I make sure my property complies?
If you know your property does not have fire detection equipment installed, please advise us and we will arrange for suitable devices to be installed. For those of you that have fitted a device, we will test it as a matter of procedure and if found faulty, arrange for it to be replaced. Unless instructed to the contrary this may be done without reference to you. A uniform estimated charge that has been advised to us is £85.00 per device for installation excluding any cost for submission of a warrant. NB: It is solely the landlord’s duty to apply for a warrant. Properties with upper and lower floors will require interlinked devices on each level. In such instances, a separate quote will be provided.(Back to top)
What if I have an HMO property?
Overriding all the above are HMO regulations which place additional requirements on Landlords and which can be advised independently.(Back to top)
How will the act be enforced?
On your behalf, we are obliged to ensure each tenant is advised of the First Tier Tribunal Housing and Property Chamber. The Housing and Property Chamber is the means by which tenants have remedy to Landlords and Agents not meeting their obligations.
Any application to the First Tier Tribunal will be made known to the Landlord who will be given the right to reply or with the agreement of the tenant resolve matters by mediation.(Back to top)
What powers does the First Tier Tribunal have?
The Housing and Property Chamber has powers to grant an enforcement order and also abate rent up to 90%. Failure to comply with an enforcement order is a criminal offence; details are also attached to land registry records until complied with and will prevent a subsequent tenancy on terms other than those they have dictated.(Back to top)
What about vindictive tenants?
Those powers and actions of the First Tier Tribunal need taken in context and the Presidentwill not look at or give consideration to vexatious or trivial applications. Where tenants contact the First Tier Tribunal and the complaint is considered frivolous or vexations the tenants will be advised, no reference will be made to the landlord but the matter will be logged against both tenant and property.(Back to top)
What about energy efficiency?
Scotland, as part of the United Kingdom along with all other EU member states has an obligation under the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) to promote improvement in the energy performance of new and existing buildings.
All tenants who rent a property on or after 4 January 2009 must be provided with EPC. An EPC is a document, which states the energy efficiency of a building based on the standardised way that the building is used. Carbon dioxide (CO2) ratings are shown in bandings from A to G, with A being the least polluting. There is no pass or fail but tenants are more likely to seek property with lower energy costs.
The main focus of the certificate is the amount of CO2 estimated to be released from the building. The performance of a dwelling is benchmarked against current building standards. The certificate must be fixed to the dwelling and will be valid for a period of 10 years. Recommendations of improvements are identified on the EPC and landlords are encouraged to undertake them although this is currently not mandatory.
It is the responsibility of the building owner to ‘affix the certificate to the building’ -- this is a legal requirement. The EPC should be indelibly marked and located in a position that is readily accessible, protected from weather and not easily obscured. A suitable location could be in a cupboard containing the gas or electricity meter or the water supply stopcock.(Back to top)
What else will be evolved from the Housing (Scotland) act 2006?
There will be further implementation dates for other aspects of this new act, which we will keep abreast of and as necessary make you aware. These will include:
- A letting Code
- HMO consolidation
- Tenancy Deposit Scheme

Equilibrium reaction: M2 + N2 ⇌ 2MN
When dealing with equilibrium and Kc:
• Kc → equilibrium units are in molarity
• Kc is an equilibrium expression:
Solve for Kc using diagram A:
Kc = 4.0
ICE Chart for diagram B:
For the reaction M2 + N2 ⇌ 2MN, scene A represents the mixture at equilibrium, with M black and N orange. If each molecule represents 0.10 mol and the volume is 1.0 L, how many moles of each substance will be present in scene B when that mixture reaches equilibrium?

Beasley Broadcast Group shares finished the second day of trading of the third quarter with a six-cent dip, to $3.24.
It was a step backward for the owner of radio stations that has seen considerable year-to-date weakness on Wall Street — with most of the downward movement coming in the last 30 days.
With Tuesday’s close, is heading back toward lows not seen in a decade for Beasley — a much different company today than in 2009.
Even BBGI going ex-dividend on June 27 couldn’t drum up a big rebound for a stock that started the year at $4.17, climbed to $4.86 on January 14, and has been on a slow and steady fall ever since.
The bottom seemingly came June 17, when trading brought Beasley shares as low as $3.
On Monday, BBGI had been as high as $3.47.
In fact, at 2:10pm Eastern Tuesday, shares were at $3.37.
It was a late plunge, seen within the final 30 minutes of trading, that is worth noting.
Beasley is roughly one month away from sharing its Q2 earnings.
It remains to be seen where BBGI will be at that time.

It's not a regular occurrence that you realize that you have to buy a replacement Starter to fix your vehicle. Mercedes-Benz car, truck, or SUV owners have come to expect a certain level of a reputation for strength when driving their G500 around town. When your Mercedes-Benz G500 left the factory, it was destined for a person with discerning taste who values European styling in their automobile. While it's not hard to find replacement parts for Mercedes-Benz vehicles, these days the necessity for nothing but the absolute best are required to repair your car or truck.
Imagine having to crank your engine in order to get it going. The starter motor built for your engine makes turning it over a breeze. Your Mercedes-Benz G500 starter has a solenoid on it that receives a signal from your ignition switch, and a relay closes a circuit that connects your battery to the starter motor; ultimately turning the flywheel or flexplate gear. A broken starter motor means your Mercedes-Benz G500 won't turn on... and that's no good for anyone.
At Car Parts Discount, we have real customer support agents available with enough expertise to help you buy the correct Mercedes-Benz G500 part for your project or repair. When your Mercedes-Benz needs the best replacement Starter, there's no need to trust any store other than the authority, Car Parts Discount. Trust in the value of the parts you get from carpartsdiscount.com and save time and money on all your upcoming repairs. When it comes to Mercedes-Benz G500 Starter parts, you can find them for 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002 models by clicking the appropriate year below.

Taekwondo, a dynamic martial art originating from Korea, offers a plethora of benefits, making it an excellent choice for children and adults alike. As a great afterschool activity, Taekwondo provides numerous advantages beyond physical fitness.
First and foremost, Taekwondo promotes physical health and fitness in a fun and engaging manner. Through a combination of kicks, punches, blocks, and stances, practitioners develop strength, flexibility, endurance, and coordination. Regular Taekwondo practice helps individuals maintain a healthy weight, improve cardiovascular health, and enhance overall physical well-being.
Moreover, Taekwondo instills essential life skills such as discipline, focus, and self-control. In a world filled with distractions, the structured environment of Taekwondo classes teaches students to concentrate on the task at hand, whether it’s mastering a new technique or completing a challenging drill. This enhanced focus translates beyond the martial arts studio into academic pursuits and daily activities.
Taekwondo also fosters self-confidence and resilience. As students progress through belt levels and overcome obstacles, they gain a sense of accomplishment and belief in their abilities. This newfound confidence empowers individuals to tackle challenges both on and off the mat, instilling a “can-do” attitude that serves them well in all aspects of life.
Additionally, Taekwondo emphasizes respect and courtesy, teaching students to treat others with dignity and kindness. Instructors emphasize the importance of respecting one’s peers, instructors, and oneself, fostering a positive and inclusive training environment. This emphasis on respect cultivates strong interpersonal skills and promotes healthy relationships among practitioners.
Furthermore, Taekwondo provides valuable self-defense skills that can boost personal safety and security. Through the practice of practical self-defense techniques and situational awareness drills, students learn how to protect themselves and others in real-life scenarios, instilling a sense of empowerment and confidence.
In conclusion, Taekwondo offers a multitude of benefits that extend far beyond physical fitness, making it an ideal afterschool activity for individuals of all ages. From improved physical health to enhanced mental and emotional well-being, Taekwondo equips practitioners with valuable skills and attributes that enrich their lives both on and off the mat.

TBILISI, September 27 (Itar-Tass) —— Some of Georgia’s politicians “wish to turn the country into Russia’s poorest province, Prime Minister Vano Merabishvili said on Thursday. “Very wrong are those Georgian politicians, who think that friendship with Russia and unification with Russia will do good to our country,” he said. “Should it join Russia, Georgia will become Russia’s poorest province.
In the meantime, most oppositional parties have dismissed such claims as absurd. They believe it is just an attempt to discredit the Opposition, because none of them campaigns for Georgia’s unification with Russia. They said the oppositional and public organizations wish normalization of relations with Russia on the basis of independent Georgia’s state interests, something the country’s current leadership has failed to achieve.
The authorities “failed to use the previous opportunities for normalizing relations with Russia” and with such statements tried to excuse their own failures.

Democrats criticize remarks describing the participants as “peaceful protesters.”
Five people died in the January 6 riot at the Capitol Building. At a May hearing of the House Oversight and Reform Committee, several Republicans made comments that downplayed, excused, or denied the violence that occurred.
“It was not an insurrection. We cannot call it that and be truthful,” Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA9) said. “Watching the TV footage of those who entered the Capitol and walked through Statuary Hall showed people in an orderly fashion staying between the stanchions and ropes taking videos and pictures… You know, if you didn’t know the TV footage was a video from Jan. 6, you’d think it was a normal tourist visit.”
(It’s true that some footage showed relative calm and peaceful protest, since not every single moment from every single protester turned violent. But this fails entirely to acknowledge all of the other footage of violence, vandalism, and police officers being crushed and beaten.)
“Outright propaganda and lies are being used to unleash the national security state against law abiding U.S. citizens, especially Trump voters. The FBI is fishing through homes of veterans and citizens with no criminal records and restricting the liberties of individuals that had never been accused of a crime,” Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ4) said. “The truth is being censored and covered up. As a result, the DOJ is harassing peaceful patriots across the country.”
(It’s true that the FBI and Department of Justice are looking for Capitol riot participants, more than 500 of whom have been charged, and some of whom had no prior criminal records — but they’re being investigated for supposed participation in illegal activities, as is anybody who’s charged for anything. Nobody has yet been convicted for their actions that day.)
“Another narrative I want to bring up is that the-the-the media claims that the tragic death of Officer Brian Sicknick was a result of pro-Trump mobs bashing his skull with a fire extinguisher, which we all know now did not happen,” Rep. Jody Hice (R-GA10) said. “In fact, it was Trump supporters who lost their lives that day, not Trump supporters who were taking the lives of others.”
(This appears to be partially true. The Justice Department originally said that Sicknick died as a result of “the injuries he suffered defending the U.S. Capitol, against the violent mob who stormed it,” though a subsequent autopsy found he actually died of natural causes. One Trump supporter was fatally shot, but she was also attempting to climb through the broken window of a door just a few feet from a Congress member at the time.)
Censure is the second-harshest punishment the House can bestow upon one of its own members, behind only expulsion. In the last 30 years, only one House member has been expelled, for crimes including bribery and obstruction of justice. In the last 30 years, one more House member has been censured, for filing inaccurate financial reports and tax returns.
What the resolutions do
Three House resolutions would censure Reps. Clyde, Gosar, and Hice for their committee remarks.
What supporters say
Supporters argue that representatives must be called out for their comments, in an official action by the House of Representatives itself, to institutionally record their opposition.
“Undermining the seriousness of the insurrection that occurred on January 6 against the United States Capitol and Members of Congress, and dangerously mischaracterizing the events of that day, disrespects the sacrifices made by law enforcement officers on that day and creates danger by emboldening and legitimizing future actors who would attack the United States Capitol in a similar manner,” Rep. Cicilline wrote in the resolution text.
What opponents say
Opponents counter that the censure is nothing more than a partisan attempt to castigate members for First Amendment free speech that Democrats happen to disagree with.
“I by no means support what took place. It was horrible. It should not have happened. It should never happen again. I’ve been as stern as I can be on that position. But an insurrection? No,” Rep. Hice said on The Todd Starnes Show. “It was not an attempt to overthrow the government. There wasn’t even a weapon found inside.”
“The fact is that what I shared does not fit the radical Democratic narrative that they’re trying to portray regarding January 6,” Rep. Hice continued. “And so they’re trying to censure me, simply for speaking the truth and laying out the facts, but it doesn’t fit their narrative.”
“That is just all part of the continued cancel culture that we’re watching unfold before us right now, that if you do not agree with this radical left-wing group, they will come after you to destroy me. So they come out with a resolution to censure me and a couple of other individuals as well.”
Odds of passage
All three resolutions have attracted 20 cosponsors, all Democrats. They all await potential vote in the House Ethics Committee.
Unlike expulsion which must receive a two-thirds vote in the House, censure only requires a majority House vote. Democrats control a House majority, though the relatively low cosponsorship (less than one-tenth of House Democrats have signed on so far) indicate odds of passage are still unlikely. A Senate vote is not required.

Cisco Systems Inc. supports a broad range of local area network (LAN) switching architecture technologies and platforms. The general minimal requirements that the Cisco switching platforms are designed to address include the following:
- High-performance switched Ethernet, capable of delivering 100 Mbps and 1Gbps to the desktop, and 1Gbps or 10Gbps uplinks.
- Quality of Service (QoS) features permitting prioritization of delay-sensitive traffic and control over packet delay and jitter.
- Simple, highly structured, and deterministic design (Predictable – in both normal and failure recovery modes).
- Support for both IP version 4 and IP version 6 protocols.
- Fault tolerance (Redundancy for critical components and links ‑ eliminating network single-points-of-failure).
- Flexibility (Network logically partitioned at Layers 2, 3 and 4, to direct traffic flow).
- Secured through authentication, authorization and accounting (AAA) controls.
- Modular design capable of supporting new applications and network growth without requiring “fork-lift” upgrades.
- Scalability for cost-effective delivery of the smallest to the largest telecommunications rooms and campuses
- Multicast protocol support for end-to-end management and optimization of streaming content delivery.
- Switches capable of powering IP telephones (via phantom power).
- Capable of being remotely monitored and managed using network management tools, such as HP Openview.
All Cisco switches are based on a distributed hardware architecture in which the LAN switching functions are separated from the “control plane” functions of switch management by utilizing both one or more general-purpose central processing chips and port or line card application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs).
The general-purpose CPU handles network management functions, like user logins, SNMP, and maintenance operations like operating system booting. The general-purpose processor controls the configuration of the switch platforms with a command-line interface. The ASICs optimize packet and frame switching at the port and line card level in order to reduce inter-frame delays and increase overall system throughput.
Older Cisco switches used an operating system called CatOS, with a command-line syntax based on set and clear statements. Newer switch use an operating system referred to as the Cisco Internetwork Operating System (IOS), which is common across both switching and routing platforms. The older CatOS is end-of-life and end-of-sale. Only configurations involving IOS will be shown here. A newer switching operating system based on the Cisco next-generation Nexus platforms is called NXOS, but is nearly identical to the IOS command syntax, and most of the Cisco switch product is based on IOS.
Cisco switching utilizes recommendations for a hierarchical design in switched network infrastructures, called core, distribution, and access layers. It is acceptable to combine the functions of the core and distribution layers in smaller switched networks, which is called a collapsed core design. The functions of each layer are as follows:
- Links to WAN (Internet or other wide-area network)
- Links to distribution switches
- Additional Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) —Used by the system for routed ports as well as WAN ports
- Server connections
- Links to downstream (closet) access switches via layer 2 or layer 3 links.
- Site services, like wireless LAN controllers
- Service VLANs—To forward traffic to the service modules, such as the client VLAN of a content switch
- Fault tolerant VLANs—For redundancy with CSM, FWSM, CSS, and so forth
- Client connectivity at 10/100/1000Mbps

The following is a list of products available depending on seasonal produce. (My apologies for the lack of photos, I will be adding more over time)
Raw and Vegan foods
We have several raw (uncooked) vegan items:
Chocolate Caramel Slice

Using a similar nut base to the Caramel slice, the cheese cake is made from Cashews. Depending on the season, it includes a berry topping (Raspberries or Blueberries for example)
All our raw foods should be kept chilled and all freeze well.
We do various tray bake brownies including:
A rich chocolate brownie.
Salted Caramel Brownie
Similar to the Chocolate Brownie with a Dairy Free Caramel swirl and a light topping of sea salt to for crunch.
The source for all our chocolate is a dark high cocoa Belgian brand that is gluten free (including no cross contamination)
Fruit loaf styles
We do a variety of seasonal cakes drawn from what we have grown in our garden:
A moist, light slice which keeps well. The zucchini helps keep the cake moist and yummy!
Chocolate Mud Cake
Rich and decadent, keeps well in the fridge assuming you don’t eat it all at once. We sell these packaged and in slices at markets
Another popular cake, sold packaged or in slices, this is full of ginger and is indeed sticky!
Other cakes include:

All our bread freezes and toasts well and has a flavor and crumb very similar to any french style bread. It does not include any egg and does NOT have a cake like texture that plagues most gluten free breads.
Almond, Pistachio and Cranberry Nougat
Our nougat recipe is based on a style from the South of France, which is lighter and softer than the harder styles normally sold but still deliciously chewy.
The almond, pistachio and cranberry is the standard favorite but we have other options that we produce from time to time, including plain roasted almond or a simple vanilla.

Evansville Mayor Winnecke Appointed to Blue Ribbon Transportation Panel
Evansville Mayor Lloyd Winnecke has been appointed to the Governor’s Blue Ribbon Transportation Panel. He will join a group of community leaders from around the state directed by Governor Mike Pence to recommend a plan for the next generation of transportation infrastructure needs. The panel will address freight and passenger transportation across all four modes of transportation – water, air, road and rail. The goal is to create a 10-year transportation plan and a 30-year look at transportation innovation.
The panel is an extension of the Governor’s “Road Map for Indiana,” which contains six major objectives for attracting new investments to Indiana. Improving Indiana’s infrastructure, including long-range transportation planning and prioritizing projects, was chief among the action items identified.
“I welcome the opportunity to serve on the Blue Ribbon Transportation Panel to ensure the infrastructure needs of Southwestern Indiana are included in Indiana’s immediate and long-range transportation plans,” Mayor Winnecke said. “This region of the state is already starting to benefit from construction that is continuing on Interstate-69 between Evansville and Indianapolis. We need to continue that momentum by building an I-69 Bridge linking Southwest Indiana to Northwest Kentucky and exploring other transportation options, including high-speed rail.”
The panel co-chairs are Indiana Lt. Gov. Sue Ellspermann and Cathy Langham, President of Langham Logistics. The panel held its first meeting today in Indianapolis. A meeting will be held in Southwest Indiana on April 2, 2014, at a location to be determined.

Nearly two dozen bills could make the cut for inclusion on next week’s special session agenda. That may seem like a lot, but the initial list of items under consideration is more than twice that number according to a list of potential bills shared with UtahPolicy.com.
The list has been circulating among legislative Republicans for more than a week. The Senate Republican caucus discussed possible bills last week. House Republicans will caucus about the list of proposed legislation this week ahead of the planned August 20 session.
The most controversial proposal on the list centers on education funding. Public schools are set to open in Utah this fall, but many students will still be learning remotely online. Lawmakers are exploring creating some sort of mechanism that would provide a tax credit to parents to make up for the time children are not physically in school.
That could be a tricky subject for lawmakers to navigate. Constitutionally, all income taxes in Utah go toward public education. During the 2020 general session, lawmakers placed a proposed constitutional change on the ballot to add services for children and the disabled to that earmarking of funds for public schools, arguing it would give them more budget flexibility. Voters must approve the constitutional amendment in November.
After lawmakers put some safeguards in place for education funding, along with a boost in money for schools during the session, the Utah Education Association said they would not publicly oppose the amendment ahead of the election. That was crucial for legislators seeking to build public support for the change, as opposition from the UEA would likely doom the proposal at the ballot box. Offering a tax credit to parents would reduce available funding for schools, causing some heartburn for teachers and education stakeholders, who may no longer feel the need to remain neutral on the constitutional change issue.
Legislative sources tell UtahPolicy.com that there have also been discussions to possibly raise the caps on charter school enrollment as parents may be looking for an alternative to public schools amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Other topics lawmakers are likely to consider in the special session include:
Lawmakers will likely be taking another look at the governor’s emergency declarations. In the April special session, lawmakers passed a bill requiring that the governor notify the legislature 24 hours before invoking an emergency power. Legislative sources indicate that lawmakers may be considering extending some of the governor’s emergency declarations, but not all of them.
Lawmakers made several changes to the June primary election because of Covid-19, including allowing some drive-up voting and moving the deadline for the postmark on mail-in ballots from the day before the election to the day of. Those changes were for the June primary only.
There will be a bill on the special session agenda addressing some of the hurdles from the pandemic. Lawmakers will probably move the postmark date again. That postmark date is a challenge in some rural counties as mail is shipped to Provo and not postmarked until the following day. There have been discussions about whether to allow early in-person voting and extend the vote canvass from 14 to 21 days.
Right now, the state prison can release prisoners early during an emergency health situation. Lawmakers may look at allowing local and county jails to use the same standards.
Giving restaurants the ability to serve alcohol outdoors. This issue has popped up during the current coronavirus pandemic as eateries are forced to find ways to serve patrons and allow social distancing.
A change to the requirements for hiring a new executive director of the Utah Department of Health. In late July, Gov. Gary Herbert appointed Rich Saunders as the department’s interim executive director, taking over the day-to-day operations from Retired General Jefferson Burton. Some of the candidates being considered to fill the permanent slot do not meet requirements to hold the job. The change will give more flexibility as to who is ultimately chosen for the job.
There will be several clean up bills. One will delete all of the bills that lost funding when lawmakers cut the budget in the June special session. Another will fix some inconsistencies in the distances vaping shops must be from schools.
Another technical bill will clarify coronavirus relief funds distributed under the PPP loan program or the CARES Act are exempt from Utah income taxes. Lawmakers will also extend the time for spending Community Reinvestment Act funds.
UtahPolicy.com is told that many of the bills on the list of potential legislation were not discussed in the Senate Republican Caucus because it was clear they would not make the final list.

The cohesion of Libyan oil sector was a main reason for restoring stability in the country, said Nicholas Hopton, the outgoing U.K. Ambassador to Libya. The British diplomat made his remarks during his last meeting with Mustafa Sanalla, the chairman of the National Oil Corporation (NOC), on Thursday.
During the meeting, Sanalla praised “the great and prominent role played by His Excellency Ambassador Nicholas Hopton in his support of the National Oil Corporation and its subsidiaries at all levels to restore stability to the Libyan oil sector and prevent smuggling,” according to a statement by the NOC.
For his part, Hopton expressed his country’s desire to “invest in Libya, through joint cooperation between the National Oil Corporation and its subsidiaries with companies operating in the oil and energy field in Britain.”

VARs Saying No To Vista?
You all know The VAR Guy isn’t impressed with Windows Vista. But recent coverage in CRN and Redmond Magazine suggests the channel has widely rejected Microsoft’s operating system upgrade.
Let’s start with the chatter from CRN. Although the 25-year-old trade pub misidentified Dell Inc.’s corporate name, this article provides some lively quotes from VARs who are retreating to Windows XP. And over at Redmond Magazine, Mary Jo Foley explains what’s dragging Vista down.
For most VARs, the wait is on for Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (anticipated delivery: 1Q 2008). And for a few folks willing to break from the pack, there’s always Mac OS X and Ubuntu Linux — The VAR Guy’s two favorite operating systems these days.

It is essential to recognize the factors that will maximize your chances of winning. There are casinos online that allow players to alter their settings so that they can boost or reduce the number of credits they have available. Certain websites have fixed settings that require players to choose from the available options.
