What if you get sued for a decision you make while serving as a director of a local charity?
Service on nonprofit boards is certainly common for community bankers. What insurance protection is provided by your bank's current directors' and officers' insurance for your nonprofit service?
Sample Policy Sections
Most banks buy directors' and officers' insurance policies that are designed for banks. The policies almost always provide some coverage for bank officers. Here is one insurer's policy language:
'This Policy shall cover Loss resulting from Claims for Wrongful Acts committed by Insured Persons while serving on the board of directors, board of trustees, or as officers of any not-for-profit entity at the direction of the Company; provided, however, that this coverage shall be excess over any other insurance and indemnification available to the Insured Persons."
Here's another insurer's version:
"Coverage otherwise afforded under Insuring Agreements A. Insured Persons Liability and B. Financial Institution Indemnification is extended to also apply to Loss resulting from Claims for Wrongful Acts by Insured Persons while serving on the board of directors, board of trustees, or as officers of any not-for-profit entity at the direction of the Financial Institution; provided, however, that this coverage shall be excess over any other insurance or indemnification available to the Insured Persons, including without limitation any insurance or indemnification available from or provided by such not-for-profit entity."
And, policy language from a third:
"(Coverage applies) to any claim against any Director or Officer arising out of his or her service as a director, officer, member, manager, trustee, regent or governor of any not-for-profit organization; provided, however, that the Insurer shall not be liable to make any payment for loss, including defense expenses, in connection with any claim brought by or on behalf of or in the name or right of any not-for-profit organization with respect to such Director's or Officer's service to such organization and that the coverage provided under this SECTION 2.(A) will apply only as excess of
1) any indemnification from the not-for-profit organization available to such Director or Officer by reason of such service; and
2) any insurance of the not-for-profit organization available to such Director or Officer by reason of such service."
Common Themes
Several common elements run through the above:
The wrongful act must arise out ofservice to a nonprofit
The entity the bank director or officer is serving must be a nonprofit; the definition of which is left to common usage. United Way, Boy Scouts, Rotary, Kiwanis, and the local YMCA are examples that would almost always fall within the coverage. A trade association or a chamber of commerce may or may not qualify as a nonprofit. When in doubt, talk with your insurance company.
The service must be at the direction of the bank
Two of the three examples above require that the service be at the direction of the bank. A bank officer who is a trustee of a church may not meet this test. Serving on the board of the local little league may also be problematic if there is no suggestion by the bank that the officer perform such voluntary service. Periodically have officers and directors of the bank report their community service. With such information the bank can decide what service it wants to have included.
Coverage is excess over any indemnification by the nonprofit
Most corporate bylaws include a provision for indemnification of officers and directors. In other words, if a director is sued, the nonprofit will provide protection for the directors using the assets of the entity. Those assets must be completely depleted before your bank D&O will step in.
Coverage is excess over any available insurance to the director
If the nonprofit has D&O insurance, the bank's D&O will be excess. The nonprofit's insurance pays first.
Bottom Line
Bank D&O insurance is a third line of defense for bank directors and officers when it comes to nonprofit service – behind the nonprofit's D&O insurance and assets.
Any claim payment (including defense costs) used to pay for an outside directorship will reduce the coverage available under the aggregate limit of coverage. Coverage used for nonprofit claims will not be available for other claims.
Lastly, some D&O policies limit outside directorship protection to the D&O side of coverage. Employment practices liability insurance may be a separate policy that does not include the coverage extensions outlined above.

I'm using Pro Sites plugin for a client.
I'd like to know more information about the registration. My client want to offer a system like this :
– People register on the main site to get a Website (sub-folder domain) ;
– People pay for Premium options (done with Pro Sites) ;
The registration process is defined by WordPress and it's not pretty nice. For instance, it asks people if they want to get an ID or a Website. Same thing about privacy.
My question is : how can I get something similar to this : https://en.wordpress.com/signup/ with Pro Sites ?

Gene may help diuretic medications prevent heart attack and stroke
Together with beta-blockers, low-dose diuretics are the preferred first line medications for treating high blood pressure, according to the Joint National Committee on the Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure. Now, recent research in the Journal of the American Medical Association suggests that a variation in a gene called alpha-adducin may help diuretics work better. Specifically, diuretics may be more effective than other blood pressure-lowering drugs at reducing risk of heart attack and stroke among people with a certain variant of the alpha-adducin gene.
About the study
Researchers at the University of Washington, Seattle, and Leiden University Medical Center in the Netherlands studied 1038 members of the Group Health Cooperative HMO in Seattle, Washington. All participants were men and women between the ages of 30 and 79 who were taking medications to treat high blood pressure. Three hundred twenty-three participants had survived a heart attack or stroke between January 1995 and December 1998 (cases) and 715 had never suffered a heart attack or stroke (controls). Controls were matched to cases in terms of age (by decade).
People were excluded from the study if their type of alpha-adducin gene was unknown or if their heart attack or stroke was a result of complications from a medical procedure. People were also excluded if they had a history of congestive heart failure or if their heart attack or stroke occurred before January 1995.
All participants underwent blood tests to determine whether they had the normal or variant alpha-adducin gene. In addition, researchers reviewed the participants' medical records and interviewed them about their use of blood pressure-lowering drugs.
Researchers compared the number of heart attacks and strokes among people with the alpha-adducin gene variant who were taking diuretics with: 1) those who did not have the gene variant and 2) those who were not taking diuretics.
The findings
People with the variant alpha-adducin gene who were taking diuretics were 50% less likely to have a heart attack or stroke than people taking other blood-pressure lowering drugs. However, diuretics had no effect on risk of heart attack or stroke in people without this gene variant.
In calculating these statistics, the researchers accounted for the possible effects of age, sex, race, smoking, diabetes, cholesterol levels, and systolic blood pressure.
Although these results are interesting, there are limitations to this study. First, this study focused on only one variation in one gene. It is possible that other genetic factors also play a role in the risk of heart attack and stroke. Second, when analyzed alone, the reduction in stroke risk was not statistically significant. Third, cases in this study had already survived a heart attack or stroke. If these people are somehow predisposed to surviving a heart attack or stroke, then perhaps these results don't apply to people who are not predisposed to surviving such events.
How does this affect you?
Does this mean you should be tested for the variant alpha-adducin gene before starting blood pressure medication? Not necessarily, for two reasons.
These findings suggest that people who possess the variant gene may respond better to diuretics than to other blood pressure-lowering drugs. But more research is needed to confirm these results and determine the risks and benefits of genetic testing. Dr. Bruce Psaty, lead author of this study, explains: "If these findings are confirmed in other studies, screening for the adducin variant could identify hypertensive patients especially likely to benefit from low-dose diuretic therapy."
However, low-dose diuretics, together with beta-blockers, are currently the preferred first line medications for high blood pressure. In fact, Dr. Psaty advises that if you are taking blood pressure-lowering medication, but you aren't taking a low-dose diuretic, you should ask your doctor why.
Psaty BM, et al. Diuretic therapy, the alpha-adducin gene variant, and the risk of myocardial infarction or stroke in persons with treated hypertension. Journal of the American Medical Association . April 3, 2002;287:1680-1689.

Imagine: There are seashore, a dark sky with August stars above your head; at your feet are waves running onto the sand: splash, splash… Behind, there are a tent and a smoldering fire. Nobody is around but cicadas with their serenades. You are alone with yourself and eternity… Or rather, you are on a small island, the southernmost point of Crete (and Europe) – it's Gavdos.
This island with an area of only 27 square kilometers is a place of pilgrimage for philosophers and adventurers of all stripes. There are only 50 residents here and a few authorities, as they say, but the atmosphere of freedom and friendliness is amazing and infinitely. Come, put up a tent or occupy an abandoned house: no one will say a word to you, if you don't bother anyone, of course. At the same time, be prepared for the fact that on Gavdos there are no banks and ATMs, gas stations and repair shops, pharmacies and the Internet… There are rocks, paths, sea, sunsets and… amazing people: not only indigenous ones but also pilgrims from all over the world. Moreover, the "Russians" (as they are called six people) settled here about 19 years ago.
Why? The versions are different. It is only known for certain that they built houses, acquired sources of their own electricity and fresh water, learned the Greek language and became objects of respect for the islanders. By the way, it was "Russians" who installed on the southernmost point of the island – Cape Tripiti – a wooden throne chair. Sit on it, look around and make a wish – it will come true: both locals and tourists are sure that the island is a magical one! Here Odysseus was languishing (or blissful) in captivity at Calypso, and the famous pirate Barbarossa used the island as a refuge, even the apostle Paul saved his life on it during a shipwreck on the way from Jerusalem to Rome.
Only 20 years ago, there were no asphalt roads, electricity in coastal taverns was generated by generators brought from the mainland, and communication with Crete supported a fragile little ship. Now the situation is better, but be prepared for the fact that this trip is an adventure, and not a rest calculated to the smallest detail. A ferry from Crete goes to Gavdos in the summer 4 times a week from Sfakia and Paleochora, but only if the wind speed not exceeds 5 on the Beaufort scale, so there is always a chance be stuck out there like Odyssey. If something happens, it will be difficult to cope with the problem alone, even if you have money: human relationships and mutual assistance are a hundred times more important here.
Have you not changed your mind to be alone with yourself and eternity?
There are taverns, but take a fishing rod with you!
Do not worry; there is a civilization on the island. The basic tourism infrastructure is concentrated in the "capital" of Gavdos, in Kastri, where there are shops and taverns, as well as a couple of family inns. There are no hotels, but by the time the ferry arrives, taxi drivers gather at the pier, ready not only to give a lift to newcomers, but also to offer a room or a house for a reasonable price. The ferry arrives at the port of Karave, where there are also several shops and a year-round cafe run by Evangelina Tsigonakis. There are several more villages on the island: Xenaki, Vatsiana, Abelo are connected by a narrow asphalt road. In addition, thanks to EU subsidies, hiking trails linking different parts of Gavdos to each other are laid on the island and cleared of stones, so roaming through them is quite easy among the centuries-old cedars and pines. But do not try to turn: it is not easy to get through the thorny bushes, and it is easy mistake to make. Major routes lead to the beaches. The most famous and habitable is Sarakiniko, in the north of the island. There is white sand and amazing color of shallow water, so it warms up already in early spring. You will find even a mini market open from morning until noon, as well as several taverns. True, they say that the local cuisine is poorer than the Cretan one, so you can follow the example of most tourists: bring food with you, or even go fishing – why then catering? Four kilometers from here, in the northwest, is the picturesque Agios Yiannis (St. Janis Beach) with a unique cedar massif on the coast, sand dunes and golden sand. It was chosen by fans of the rest in tent. Neither electricity, nor the Internet, to get fresh water, one have to walk for 2,5 miles: in the sweat of his face, so to speak, to get bread… sorry, his water. In the summertime, almost every stunted cedar here becomes a "roof" of someone's tent or even just of a wigwam made of branches and cardboard. Literally behind the rock begins the beach of Lavrakis. It is for the real adventure tourist, so if you are searching for solitude, it is a right place for you; and be prepared one morning to see Aphrodite coming out of the water in her birthday suit: there are a lot of nudists there. A dangerous path leads to Lavrakis. It requires the utmost attention, since it often crumbles. But the path to Potamos beach, on the western part of the island, is even more difficult: you will have to go down a path cut into the rock; about 200 yards, but it will not be easy, if accompanied by the heat and wind. Potamos with its reddish sand is deserted as on the first day of creation. True, according to rumors, sometimes yachts come here, and noisy companies remain until the evening to watch the sunset, which colors the local rocks in incredible shades. You can enjoy the sunset from the old lighthouse, one of the "official" sights of the island; and its caretaker will probably offer you a cup of coffee (or a shot glass of raki)…
Finally, the southernmost beach of the island (as well as of Greece and Europe) is Tripiti, the one with the throne chair on the top. An equipped path leads there. A propos, on the coast of Gavdos, there are no sun loungers, umbrellas and other things familiar to the beaches…
But actually, why?
The answer to this question for everyone dreaming of Gavdos vacation is his own. Maybe one wants to be in the center of world where time has stopped. Perhaps he is curious to realize in unusual circumstances a different version of himself, hitherto unknown. Maybe he is attracted by kaleidoscope of people―non-standard, different ones but somewhat coinciding, because they all are on Gavdos… In any case, if you are going to the island, trust the will of the gods: they know better how much trials, delight and wisdom will be measured for the traveler to make his trip to the island of Calypso unforgettable. By the way, experienced travelers to Gavdos advise: "If you want see Mediterranean as the heroes of ancient Greek myths saw it―wild, deserted and mysterious,―it is better to go to Gavdos not in the midst of the tourist season, but in spring or autumn".

I have gotten a few raised eyebrows when I have mentioned that the new "Battlestar Galactica" is among the very best shows out there. This reimagining of the campy 70s series debuted in 2003 as a miniseries, and was of such high quality that a series was inevitable. Let me state for the record that this program is shockingly good, raising the bar on how well written and acted a science fiction show can be. But don't just take my word--the New York Times, the New Yorker, and even the National Review have all given "Galactica" glowing reviews.
Anchored by the excellent Edward James Olmos (yes, he from TV's Miami Vice) and Mary McDonnell (two-time Academy Award nominee), the cast is simply outstanding. The series explores the relationship between a government and its military, and human values under the most adverse conditions, all amidst the clash between human and non-human sentient beings after our species is forced to flee from Earth after a massive attack.
If science fiction allows us to think about the here and now, albeit within a fantastical or imagined context, "Battlestar Galactica" provides a stunning canvas to examine our society's present and it's very precarious future. Hopefully, we have the magic within us to imagine a better vision.

Post-doc Position - Projet BONDS
IRD and CIRAD, together with other international partners, have started in April 2019 a joint project, BONDS (Balancing BiOdiversity coNservation with Development in Amazonian wetlandS), funded by the Belmont Forum organization under the BiodivERsA call.
Threats to the integrity of biodiverse Amazon floodplain habitats from deforestation, dams, and climate change are increasingly severe but to date, Amazon biodiversity scenarios have not considered these critical environments. The BONDS project looks to improve characterization of Amazonian whitewater floodplain habitats and inundation dynamics, by 1) scaling up existing fish, floodplain forest, and phytoplankton biodiversity datasets, 2) evaluating the potential impacts of regional drivers such as climate, land use change, and dams on floodplain habitats, and 3) engaging at local and regional scale a large panel of stakeholders in looking for sustainable strategies for wetlands preservation. Innovative aspects of BONDS include 1) testing a remote-sensing-based approach for mapping phytoplankton biodiversity in floodplain lakes; 2) use of new satellite data to greatly increase the spatiotemporal resolution of floodplain habitat and inundation maps; 3) use of environmental eDNA metabarcoding to examine the distribution and relative abundance of phytoplankton, zooplankton, and fish in floodplain lakes; 4) individual-based modeling of fish foraging patterns across a network of oxbow lakes; and 5)designing nested-scale agent-based participatory models, using the GAMA (http://gama-platform.org), in order to develop scenarios.
This job profile concerns a post-doctoral position offered on this last aspect, which is entirely covered by WorkPackage 3 of the project.
Design and development of ABM models on the GAMA platform.
Design and development of extensions to the GAMA platform (in Java or other suitable languages) in order to facilitate the description of indicators or goals for the simulations.
Design and development of extensions to the GAMA platform (in Java or other suitable languages) in order to facilitate the use of simulations in role-playing games.
The position will be located in Montpellier, in the premises of UMR Espace-Dev (Maison de la Télédétection, 500 rue Jean-François Breton, 34093 Montpellier, France). The work will be done in coordination with the other researchers working in this project. The position may imply to do some travels in Brazil and France to meet the researchers and partners present on site or participate to project meetings.
Indicative remuneration
Gross monthly salary: 2150€

Waste and landfills create problems for the planet. Living with trash in your home is certainly not an option. Nonetheless, you prefer not to contribute to ever-growing landfills more than what is absolutely necessary.
People naturally generate waste. Regardless of how careful you are to reuse materials, you will create trash daily. Rather than feel bad about it, consider a few ideas to handle waste more efficiently.
Vegetable Matter Makes Good Mulch
Learn how to compost at home. Recycle fruit waste, vegetable scraps and coffee grounds by mixing them with pesticide-free lawn clippings and leaves. Dead leaves, grass clippings, twigs and other brown matter provides carbon for your homemade compost pile.
Green matter includes the waste from fruit and vegetables you normally throw in the trash bin. Toss the mornings coffee grounds onto your compost heap as well. Meat, fish and dairy products should not go in your compost pile. Green matter provides nitrogen to your compost heap.
Add water and alternate brown and green layers. Keep the mixture covered with a tarp. Within three to nine months you should have a rich, dark soil substance at the bottom of your compost pile to add to your garden.
Participate in Chemical Disposal Programs
Business and government often host days and locations where you can return chemicals and harmful substances. Too often, you or a neighbor may pour used motor oil down a sewer drain after you change the oil in your car. It can be easy to justify. After all, it is only a small amount of petroleum product going down the drain.
Unfortunately, millions of other people pour their harmful chemicals down the drain using the same justification. Anything you dispose down the drain eventually works its way through sediment to contaminate soil and water. Bear the inconvenience of taking your motor oil to an approved site for proper waste disposal.
Large Projects Require Large Receptacles
When you undertake a home renovation project, do not try to stuff the waste into your household trash can. Building materials, construction cast-off's, old appliances, landscaping trash and more should go in the proper container meant to hold those items.
Handle waste with effective rubbish management. This does not mean sneaking this trash in with the neighbor's rubbish during the night before your scheduled trash retrieval day.
Reduce Purchases Containing Waste Products
Whenever feasible, purchase large quantities of items you use regularly to cut down on the number of boxes and cardboard you toss in the trash. Wash out those pickle jars to store food in. That is a better option than throwing all that glass in the trash bin.
With some forethought and effort, your waste footprint will make a smaller imprint on the planet. Do your part in reducing rubbish coming from your home.

Men's general health is subject to risk factors such as age, family history and personal habits. While the risk factors of age and family history are beyond your control, you can take steps to change your personal habits in the interest of preventive health. The following are some specific steps that men can take to prevent disease or injury:
Stick to a healthy diet – In deciding what foods to eat, you should consider health risk factors and the presence of conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol and heart disease. Generally, a diet should be low in salt and fat. It should be high in fiber with an emphasis on fruits and vegetables.
Wear your seat belt – You should wear a seat belt whenever you are in a motor vehicle. Injury and death from auto accidents are common causes of disability and death in adults.
Limit your consumption of alcohol and caffeine – Alcohol consumption should be limited to no more than two ounces of liquor or the equivalent daily.
Practice safe sex – The use of latex condoms can help prevent sexually transmitted diseases. Safe sexual practices are a must in an adult preventive health program.
Avoid tobacco – The negative health effects related to tobacco are well-known and well-publicized. Being tobacco-free is a major goal in any preventive health program.
Have regular eye and dental examinations – Regular eye exams are one of the best ways to protect your vision. Dental exams are important for the health of teeth and gums. In addition, many health conditions that affect the entire body generate warning signs that can appear in and around your mouth
Take time to exercise – Exercise is a preventive measure for almost any significant health problem. Generally, 30 to 40 minutes of a sustained exercise activity, three to five days per week is the goal for most adults. An exercise program should start slowly and gradually build up to this level. Talk to your doctor about an appropriate exercise program for you.
Wear sunscreen – Avoiding prolonged sun exposure and using sunscreen can reduce the risk of skin cancer.
Wear hearing protection for excessive noise exposure – Excessive noise exposure is the most common cause of hearing loss.
Be safety-conscious – Wear bike helmets when biking. Wear reflective clothing when running in the dark. Think about the safety aspects of all of the other activities that you enjoy.

Push-Polling in Illinois?
Democratic operatives have apparently begun "push polling" in Illinois, trying to drive a wedge between conservative voters and Rep. Mark Kirk, the centrist Republican seeking the Senate seat once held by President Barack Obama.
According to people who have heard it, the call talks up Libertarian candidate Mike Labno as the only true "pro-life" candidate in a race that also includes Democratic State Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias and Green Party candidate LeAlan Jones. It also referred to Kirk's vote last year for Obama-backed legislation capping carbon emissions and setting up a system for polluters to trade greenhouse gas emissions credits.
The poll "asked how likely are you to vote…for governor, if today who…for Senate, if today who… (and mispronounced Giannoulias)…gave some negatives for Kirk including cap-and-trade… and listed Labno positions," wrote a commenter on the website of the West Suburban Patriots, a Chicago-area Tea Party group. The poster said the poll concluded with a disclaimer that it was sponsored by the Democratic National Committee.

Animation TV Ranking Japan
The following list of top animated shows that aired August 29 through September 4, 2011 in Japan. The chart is based on the Kanto region data from an official video research. The list comes directly from Anime News Network and I thank the site for their awesome work on it. Together with this ranking, I will share some of my wisdom with you.
Title Station Date Average Household
Sazae-san Funji TV 04.09 17.5
Chibi-maruko-chan Fuji TV 04.09 11.2
Doraemon TV Asahi 02.09 10.9
Detective Conan NTV 03.09 10.3
Crayon Shin-chan TV Asahi 02.09 10.2
One Piece Fuji TV 04.09 9.8
Toriko Fuji TV 04.09 7.1
Suite Precure TV Asahi 04.09 6.3
Pocket Monsters: TV Asahi 01.09 6.0
Best Wishes!
Animated O-saru NHK-E 03.09 4.5
no George
(Curious George)
If I have to be honest, I don't have any wisdom to share, but I think there are several points we should pay attention to: 1. The participation of One Piece and its position and rating. Although it is present, the difference between it and the leader in the ranking is immense (9.8 vs. 17.5 – there are 7.7 points difference less). If it was not in the list at all, I would've been calmer, but this is somewhat disturbing. The show has been on, yet, it has a low rating. Wasn't it one of the so-called 'big three' or is it valid only for areas outside Japan? 2. Doraemon (1973) and Detective Conan(began airing in 1996) are both old anime series. The leader in the movie genre is Lupin III:The Secret of Mamo (1978) with 12.7 and this is also quite an old anime. It seems the people in Japan are craving for something old school, eh? Shall we all be expecting more of the old-school animation and characters to be presented in the Winter season (since the Fall one was already announced)?

The new UK Government has touched on its housing plans as part of the Queen's Speech, aiming to help home-buyers and renters, devolve power and funding to communities and improve building safety.
The Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government and Housing Secretary Robert Jenrick published:
"A revolutionary new deal for renters will restore fairness, honesty and transparency to the heart of the housing market, thanks to new proposals unveiled as part of the Queen's Speech.
"Under the plans, millions of renters will benefit from a new lifetime deposit scheme, which will see their hard-earned deposit move with them from property to property – giving tenants more control over their lives and keeping more of their cash in their pocket.
"Proposals to abolish no-fault evictions have also been confirmed, meaning landlords will no longer be able to uproot tenants from their homes at short notice and with no good reason – bringing greater security to millions of families who live in rented accommodation.
"This will be matched with new powers to strengthen the rights of landlords to gain possession of their property through the courts when they have a clearly valid reason to do so, in order to create a fair market where good and responsible landlords flourish.
"The government has also announced plans which will make owning a home more affordable. This includes the new First Home scheme making homes available at a discount for local first-time buyers.
"Councils will be able to use housing developers' contributions to discount homes by 30% for people who cannot otherwise afford to buy in their area. The Affordable Homes Programme will also be renewed, building more homes for rent and delivering a new shared ownership offer.
"The Queen's Speech has also set out further detail for new legislation to bring an end to the unscrupulous practice of unnecessary leaseholds – introducing new laws to ban new houses being sold on a leasehold basis and reducing ground rents for new leases to zero.
"As well as the measures for renters, local first-time buyers and reforms to the leasehold market, the government has also outlined plans to which will ensure any new housing is accompanied by essential infrastructure. A white paper will also be published on reforming the planning system to ensure it works better for the public and small builders."
The release also touched on building safety:
"In the biggest change to building safety laws for 40 years, the government will take forward the recommendations from Dame Judith Hackitt's independent review of building regulations and fire safety through a new Building Safety Bill.
"Legislation will:
- provide clearer accountability for, and stronger duties on, those responsible for the safety of high-rise buildings throughout design, construction and occupation
- give residents a stronger voice in the system, ensuring their concerns are not ignored and they fully understand how they can contribute to maintaining safety in their buildings
- strengthen enforcement and sanctions to deter non-compliance with the new regime in order to hold the right people to account
"In addition to these major reforms, the government will take forward swift action to introduce legislation to implement the recommendations of the Grenfell Tower Public Inquiry Phase 1 Report through changes to the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as soon as possible.
"Over the coming weeks and months, ministers will work with residents, building owners and others to ensure legislation delivers the fundamental changes needed so that all people – regardless of where they live – feel safe in their homes.
"New legislation will also be brought forward to require developers of new build homes to belong to a New Home Ombudsman."
Welcoming the Speech, Housing Secretary Rt Hon Robert Jenrick MP said: "The announcements made in the Queen's Speech today will empower both home-buyers and renters. The legislation that we will bring forward will provide a better deal for renters through our lifetime deposit scheme while also protecting them from no fault evictions. We will also help first-time buyers get a foot on the property market with 30% discounts for local people and key workers.
"We are moving forward with legislation to set ground rents to zero, abolish leasehold houses and prioritise the safety of residents with the biggest change to building safety laws for 40 years.
"I look forward to getting on with this ambitious and exciting agenda."

He started playing the piano at the age of 17 and his personal sound bears reference to the sound of yesteryear soul and jazz legends he in turn refers to as his musical inspirations, such as George Benson, Al Jarreau, Bheki Mseleku, Keith Jarret and Oscar Peterson.
The Sanele Phakathi Quintet performs at a variety of venues in and around Durban.
IF YOU are in the mood for golden oldies and a party atmosphere, you might want to check out Best of Decades, the showband entertainment running at The Rockwood Theatre at Sibaya Casino, near Umhlanga, until January 27.
The show, featuring hits from the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s and more recent years, marks the first full year of operation for this increasingly popular, three-tier supper theatre at Sibaya Casino.
Best of Decades is designed for audiences to let down their hair while waving goodbye to this year. Consequently, it is suitably jam-packed with classic chart favourites – as well as some decidedly lesser hits – in an attempt to keep most of the people happy most of the time.

I recently learned a new skill! I have a very inspiring artist friend in his early 80's who offered to teach me lino cutting some time ago. Alan is a world traveler and worked as an architect & interior designer all of his working life. He continues to explore in various artistic media.
I found a crescent moon design and went to his very well organized studio for a few hours last Friday. He explained the process, let me practice on a scrap of lino and left me to it.
Sometimes, when I learn something new, I hang back and wait until the moment to begin when I am absolutely certain that it will come out perfectly the first time. Which means that sometimes, I don't try anything new.
Alan knows me as a fibre artist and knows that I put a lot of time and care into my art work. He was gently encouraging. I felt confident to try this new thing and aware that he had made time in his busy schedule to meet with me. So I picked up my lino cutter and went for it. I am not going to give a tutorial on the process, but I did learn that the next time I will make sure I have a good light source and I will probably draw my design with a Sharpie pen (rather than pencil). Oh yeah, and wear my reading glasses!
I found it a very cerebral and controlled process. I liked the planning – I cut my design in 'reverse' so that the print will be the right way – and when I do others, I will think about different colours of ink and about breaking up my design into three or more different blocks and about which order I will print them.
I kept my first one very simple. On just one block, so I'll do my prints in one go in one colour of ink.
This print was done in water based ink. A trial run to check it out. I removed a bit more of the lino where necessary and identified a couple of places that I will ink in with a brush after the print is made.
I went out and bought a pack of different coloured card stock and am going back on Monday to make a run of prints using oil based ink.
I'm also thinking about other, larger and more complex designs to do. I love German Expressionist woodcuts and think that my Little Red Stick story would lend itself especially well to this medium.
Besides being over the moon about learning how to do printmaking, I am really stoked that my first response to what I made was, 'Wow! Look at what I made.' Not feeling apologetic and pointing out the mistakes, but feeling very proud of myself. That mindset is 180º from where I used to be in the not so distant past.
