Big A$$ Weekend in Iowa City
By John J. Thompson
Having trouble waking up at 6 a.m. to tailgate for Hawkeye games? That won't be a problem this Saturday as kickoff is scheduled for 6 p.m. for the game against the Northwestern Wildcats. Fans are looking forward to the chance to tailgate in the afternoon rather than waking up early in the morning before the game, and having limited tailgate time.
"I'm not a morning person so I usually only spend a couple of hours tailgating before the games," says Stephanie Spengler, a junior at the University of Iowa. "The night games are my favorite, because I get to sleep in and tailgate all day."
Tailgating is a huge tradition before Hawkeye home games. Some favorite tailgating spots of Hawk fans are the Myrtle lot behind the law building, the dentistry lot, and various houses along Melrose Avenue. If you have never had the chance to make it down to Melrose Avenue before a game in Iowa City, this Saturday will provide a great experience. No matter what makes you happy, you will enjoy the tailgating atmosphere on Melrose.
There are many games that people play such as bean bag toss, Plinko, and even just a good old fashioned game of catch.
"My favorite thing to do during tailgating is playing Beersbee," Spengler says, referring to a game in which two long pieces of PVC pipe stick out of the ground with an empty beer bottle sitting on top. Participants take turns throwing a Frisbee trying to knock off the opponents bottle.
Food is also a big part of tailgating at Iowa. Many people grill out and there are also vendors selling various types of food along Melrose. It is a rite of passage for every Hawkeye fan to get a Big Ass Turkey Leg from Chuck Ford's stand right across from Kinnick Stadium.
This Saturday promises to be special, not just because of the wonderful evening kickoff time. This weekend will be the Black and Gold Spirit Game. Fans in alternating sections in Kinnick Stadium will alternate wearing black and gold, giving a striped affect.
"Kinnick looked amazing last year when we had our Black and Gold Spirit Game," says Matt Mitchell, a senior at Iowa. "Everyone was so excited for the game, it kept the fans into it and the stadium was extremely loud."
This game will be even bigger to Hawkeyes fans because of the opponent, the Northwestern Wildcats. Iowa fans have grown to think of Northwestern as a bitter rival, as the Wildcats have beaten the Hawkeyes in three of the last four meetings.
"Northwestern always plays tough against Iowa and the fans of both teams always get really pumped up when the teams meet." says Mitchell. "Having Northwestern come into Iowa City for our Spirit game should make it a great day at Kinnick Stadium."
Here's a link to a picture from last season's Black and Gold Spirit Game. The title of this posting will be explained in a future post.

The nice guy syndrome is a relatively new psychological condition many modern men struggle with. First described by Dr. Robert Glover, it has soon got a worldwide recognition as a very common phenomenon of men's psychology. In this new series of posts, I will translate a very clear and concise text about the basics of the nice guy syndrome written by Zdenek Weber, a Czech mentor, speaker, and entrepreneur, the founder of Czech Men's Circle movement. I believe that the ideas and insights contained in this text could be very helpful to many of my readers. As the text is quite long, I will break it down into a few chunks.
Part 1
Working with the nice guy syndrome is mainly about incorporating into your life self-reflection of being truthful about your needs and the needs of others. This skill requires a long-term practice.
Start with reflecting when you act on the basis of a subconsciously perceived social demand, out of a habit to be socially available, help and make others happy.
Making others happy and being at their disposal is a completely natural behavior, but if you are available at 99% and your needs are met only at 1%, then something is out of balance, and that's a nice guy's reality.
His task is to build up his own individuality, his own ways of life and self-realization, and if nobody ever helped him and he was instead motivated to fulfill the wishes and needs of others, then he starts from zero in 30 or 45 years, and it just takes time, because his whole life is riddled with all possible strategies of getting satisfaction through being liked and praised for that the others have enough and are happy, while he does not have anything.
Archetypally it sounds like a heroic act, a lot of nice guys are great heroes, but in the end they stay abandoned, robbed, disappointed. «I sacrificed all for others, why do they behave with me like that?»
A nice guy can have many faces and it's a very individual role, but there are some similarities, or, say, an archetypal track. It's all about suppressing your needs and individuality and putting in the first place the needs and wishes of others around you.
The healthy way is to adequately evaluate your own needs and the needs coming from your surroundings, to decide what is really necessary or fair to do in a prevailing harmony with yourself, and from this position of harmony with yourself to deal fairly with your surroundings.
But a nice guy needs to train this skill, because in interacting with the others he unconsciously shows them that he will meet their needs, will help them whenever and wherever possible, thereby completely killing his own self-realization, his sovereignty that is the DNA of masculine power, and thus losing the true respect of his partner, children, neighbors, workmates.
People see him as a good person, but in reality, in their depth, they don't respect him and his needs, because he doesn't respect his needs himself. He just wants people to love him, wants to be their favorite, and this is the source of his life paths, behavior, thinking, decision-making, priorities, relationships. A nice guy ignores his needs himself and doesn't live in predominant harmony with his needs, because he has no natural contact with them.
To be continued.

It's time for a new chart of the top new country music.
And this chart is a little different. We're talking about the latest country music out there. It's not the same as the country chart you'll hear about on radio.
And we have a little shakeup at the top this week.
Each week we look back at the top new country songs from the last 12 weeks here on Country Music Life.
That means that each week a week's worth of songs runs out of time on the chart and this week our former #2 (This Ain't No) Drunk Dial by A Thousand Horses falls off. Next week the big time #1 Waste Another Beer will run its course after a great debut on the chart.
But for now that song is again the #1 song.
Michael Ray moves up to #2. Elle King makes a move and jumps ahead a few to #3 on the chart and Maren Morris enters the Top 5 and she continues to have two songs on the chart.
Further down you'll find the new entries including a pair of new entries from Zac Brown Band. One is their new country single and the other is their new rock single.
Also on the chart is the new single from Sam Hunt. He's on a run of big number ones. Will this one be another?

3 Days Mount Sabyinyo Hiking Safari
With the Gorilla tracking adventure at the forefront of any safari to Mgahinga Gorilla National Park; there is something for you – the intrepid traveler who wants to try out something new and out of the ordinary. The good news is you can hike to Uganda's most hard-to-reach mountain peaks with this 3 days mount sabyinyo hiking safari.
A hike to top of Mountain Sabyinyo is an adventure of its own. Sabyinyo is one of the original eight Virunga volcanoes and particularly one of the three mountains that inhabit the Mgahinga region in Uganda. Visit this region and experience the scenic beauty from the elevations in Mgahinga National park. This 3 days mount sabyinyo hiking safari brings you to a point where the three countries meet at an elevation of 3669m above sea level. Hiking to Mount sabyinyo is "cool" and better to start early morning. It is not relatively an easy climb but not too hard though; suitable for almost every physically fit person including the children.
3 Days Sabyinyo Hiking Tour Itinerary
Day 1: Transfer to Mount Sabyinyo in Mgahinga Gorilla National Park
Leave Kigali in reasonable time, and head to the very South Western tip of Uganda; about 3 – 4.5 hours' drive from Rwanda's capital – Kigali on this day of your 3 days mount sabyinyo hiking safari. Mgahinga Gorilla National Park is not only famous for its huge black apes: it also offers outstanding extinct volcanoes. Situated at the very North of the Virunga massif, the Park hosts three towering volcanoes which can be climbed: the highest Mt. Muhabura (4,127 m), Mt. Sabyinyo (3,669 m) and Mt. Gahinga (3,474 m).
Mount Sabyinyo, loosely translated as "the old man's teeth" in Kinyarwanda / Kifumbira, derives the name from its distinctive, multi-peaked outline. Pass through Rwanda's northern region and enter Uganda through Cyanika / Kisoro border. Check in at your lodge for relaxation, supper and slumber awaiting the next day's adventure.
Day 2: Hike to top of Mount Sabyinyo
Wake up as early as 7:00am on ths second day of your 3 days mount sabyinyo hiking safari, take breakfast and head to the starting point for pre-hike briefing. The guide will give you some important information about the hike, what to expect and general preparations for this day long adventure. Mount Sabyinyo's hike passes through 3 of the volcano's 5 peaks, the last one culminating at 3669 meters above sea level. Rain can be expected at any time, so the path becomes muddy and at some points slippery. Take a bamboo/walking stick with you to provide extra support (soon to become your best pal, especially when it rains) and the trek leaves at around 8.00 am.
The slope up is first very gentle, almost flat, but very muddy– proper hiking boots (or even gumboots, for rent at the base camp) are highly recommended. Bushy areas succeed to grassy patches, the air is fresh and full of flowery scents. Soon, you will make a first stop and contemplate today's menu. In the distance, the old man is smiling at you, his teeth bare: signaling that the adventure has just commenced.
Continue climbing, and after about one hour, you penetrate into a primary forest, and the trail leads you through bamboos. As you reach the mountain base, after about 2 hours or more of trekking, bamboos are replaced by sinuous, high, ghostly trees. Pale green lichen covers the branches. It is at this point that a Rwenzori Turaco, endemic to the region can be sighted. Spot it as it flies away, portraying its magnificent rainbow wings.
The ascent soon becomes somewhat strenuous, but the effort is rewarded by the stunning view between the trees: strings of fog run along the bright green, steep volcano flanks, and soon you reach Sabyinyo's first peak at 3423 m. peculiar, giant phallic plants (lobelia) are dominant at this altitude. When the weather is clear, you can be able to see Congolese towns ahead, and to the left, houses, trees, farms and fields sketch lines and squares; typical of Rwanda's settlement patterns. On the right, you see Uganda, green and wild as far as the eye can see. The ascent continues, until you reach the next peak at 3537 m after 45 minutes.
The hike remains steep nonetheless, rugged and vertiginous, broken up by muddy trails and branch ladders. The altitude intensifies the effort. Finally, you realize that you've make it to the top. Enjoy your packed lunch and some sun rays at 3668m. It is hard to fully realize that you are in three East African countries at the same time. Admire the beauty of tiny tidy fields and farms in Rwanda and the local towns of D. R. Congo in a distance. Embark on a descent downhill and at around 7.30 pm you are back at the lodge, proud and weary. This unforgiving though rewarding hike will stay in your memories forever.
Day 3: Transfer back to Kigali
Have a morning breakfast at leisure on this last day of the 3 days mount sabyinyo hiking safari, after which you depart the home Mgahinga national park for Kigali through the scenic return journey via Kisoro and Musanze districts in Uganda and Rwanda respectively. While on your return journey, do not miss a stop-over at various plantations and vantage points to capture a picture or two. Arrive in Kigali in the early hours of evening. This 3 days mount sabyinyo hiking tour ends with a drop off at your preferred hotel or at Kigali Airport.
End of 3 days mount sabyinyo hiking safari tour.

ACTRESS Catherine Zeta Jones has condemned the controversial Atkins diet as unhealthy.
The high-protein no-carbohydrate regime has been embraced by actresses such as Sarah Jessica Parker and Julia Roberts.
But the Swansea-born star says a plethora of media stories about her following the teachings of the late Dr Robert Atkins are false.
In Los Angeles she said she had a responsibility to young women seeing her on screen.
A lawyer for the star said, "According to publications around the world the Atkins diet has been derided by nutritionists and other health officials for decades.
"By stating that Ms Zeta Jones uses or endorses the diet those publications are falsely representing to the average reader, including many young women, that Ms Zeta Jones would recommend this diet to any person looking to lose weight.
"My client is being made to look as if she is more concerned about her outward appearance than she is with serious health concerns.
"But nothing could be further from the truth."
The statement comes a week after 34-year-old Catherine and her 59-year-old husband Michael Douglas were awarded £14,600 damages against Hello!, the celebrity gossip magazine which used unauthorised photographs of their wedding in New York.
Catherine is currently suing Caudalie, the French cosmetics firm, for £10m for allegedly using her name to promote products without permission.
Reports that the actress was using the Atkins Diet to shed weight after she gave birth to her daughter Carys seven months ago were widely circulated on the internet and in the press and media.
A spokesman for the Atkins company said the diet, invented 30 years ago by Robert Atkins, was entirely safe if instructions were followed.
The spokesman said the company had no idea how Ms Zeta Jones's name became associated with the diet. It did not seek celebrity endorsements.
Some medical experts have warned that those following the Atkins Diet may have an increased risk of developing diabetes, bowel cancer, kidney stones, liver problems and weak bones.

2.7Beta holiday implementation is fantasticCan you extend it by creating color options?
Loving these vertical columns that show when events occur.
Realizing that it would be super powerful to show when other major events are happening (trade shows, key project personnel being out etc).
If we could color events in certain ways then we could quickly and easily distinguish events that pull our team away - which allows us to manage conflicts, clients etc. Yes we could put it on a timeline, but often these events (such as key personnel being out) affect ALL projects. Would be super if we could readily see that - and have it colored other than "holiday".
Thanks again for all your wonderful work.

Margaret Balfour and Shane Bridges have been bareboat chartering with Whitsunday Rent A Yacht for 10 years.
Both keen fishing enthusiasts, you could arguably say they're hooked.
But what exactly is it that keeps them coming back to the Whitsundays year after year?
Honeymoon trip
Margaret and Shane's love affair with the Whitsundays began on their honeymoon.
"We'd never chartered a boat before – we had a small fishing boat but it was just a little aluminium tinny; we'd never sailed a big boat, but we like fishing and we love the water," Margaret said.
Following a successful first charter the couple decided to book an anniversary trip.
"We started coming up here for our wedding anniversary every year, but then we got addicted and now we sometimes come two or three times a year," Margaret said.
Great escape
The main attraction for Margaret and Shane has been getting away from it all.
"We both work and live in a world where there are constant emails and phone calls but out here, if you find the right places you've got no internet and no mobile reception; it's just so peaceful," Margaret said.
"The rest of the world doesn't exist," Shane added.
"It's just us on a boat and nobody else around."
Favourite spots
After all these years Margaret and Shane have a few 'must visit' anchorages they call into each time they visit.
"I think Nara Inlet is the most picturesque spot but Stonehaven's got the best sunset," Margaret said.
The couple also like Macona Inlet and Tongue Bay, renowned for its turtles and walk to the Hill Inlet lookout over world-famous Whitehaven Beach.
Outdoor living
Low tide walking on the beaches and a bit of amateur photography are among Margaret's ideas for great ways to fill the days.
"We often just walk in the shallow water and look at the fish and the coral – you actually don't need to snorkel it's so clear," she said.
Of course fishing features heavily in each charter trip, with one of the most memorable moments of the last decade's visits being an 80cm Golden Trevally landed by Shane in Tongue Bay.
"It was our last night and we had no bait left – just a couple of prawn heads. Shane had a few lines out anyway and the fish just went crazy," Margaret said.
"There was a whole big line of Golden Trevally through the bay.
"The first one bit him off, the second one swam around the anchor line but the third one he pulled in and it was massive!"
Recipe for success
Margaret attributes the couple's chartering success to the fact she's an avid reader and likes to research places before she visits them.
"I think if you read about boating in the Whitsundays before you come and particularly if you can get hold of David Colfelt's 100 Magic Miles, that's the best preparation you can do," she said.
"And get the right food!" Shane added.
Shane and Margaret shop online with Coles long before their plane has even touched down on the Whitsunday coast.
Over the years they've collected phone numbers for a few local taxi drivers, and on the way to the Whitsunday Rent A Yacht base in Shute Harbour they usually swing past Coles to pick their 'click and collect' shopping order up.
"We've got a standard list of things we buy for the trip and we order everything a couple of days beforehand," Margaret said.
No licence, no worries
Ultimately these 10 wonderful years of bareboat chartering with Whitsunday Rent A Yacht might never have happened if Margaret hadn't discovered she didn't need a boat licence to do the trip.
"I'd heard of bareboating but it never really occurred to me as a holiday option because I didn't have a boat licence," she said.
"But you don't have to have a boat licence at all.
"It's actually not a hard holiday; it's a great holiday for families, for kids – it's just something everybody can do."

Just 24 hours after resoundingly rejecting her Brexit plan, the United Kingdom House of Commons voted to keep Prime Minister Theresa May in power in a narrow 19 vote margin. May has struggled since her ascension to Prime Minister to rally a strong base within Parliament and the no-confidence vote only cements evidence of the current divide in British politics. If the vote had succeeded, it would have almost certainly forced a resignation from May and the calling of a new general election.
The vote is tied very strongly to the issue of Brexit; May's administration has struggled to negotiate an adequate deal that would appease both Liberals and Conservatives but her proposed deal suffered a historic rejection—432 to 202—a defeat that ordinarily would lead to the resignation of the Prime Minister but May has, as the New York Times reported, a unique "ability to soak up political punishment and survive." The failure of the plan is particularly stressful as the deadline for passing a Brexit deal is March 29 of this year, giving May only two months to come up with a solution in a distinctly divided country.
"This government has failed our country. It cannot govern, it cannot command the support of the people, facing the most important issue at the moment, which is Brexit" said opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn, who brought the no-confidence vote to the table.
The leader of the SNP party in Westminster, Ian Blackford, has written to Mr. Corbyn urging to bring back the idea of a second referendum on Brexit back to the table, stating, "We must see concessions from the prime minister, as well as Jeremy Corbyn, to break the Brexit impasse."
Brexit has become a true test of U.K. democracy with very real consequences on the line—if negotiated improperly, Brexit could potentially cripple the country's economy. Since the referendum, politicians have been split on how to deal with Brexit, with some calling for a complete removal of the U.K. to others pushing a second referendum to re-vote on leaving the European Union, not to mention the position of the EU itself, which has shown little inclination to reaccept the U.K. if it were to vote to stay.
The failure of the no-confidence vote has meant May stays in power and she has indicated she is strongly against calling another referendum, stating to parliament, "It would deepen division when we need unity, it would bring chaos when we need certainty and it would bring delay when we need to move forward." While the deadline of Brexit looms, the necessity of cooperation has never felt so desperate yet so difficult.

Working With Pain In The Arches
A flat foot is a term used to described a collapsed arch. Medically, the term is pes planovalgus (for foot flatten and pushed outwards). There are varying degrees of ?flatness?. Though not all flat feet are problematic, however, when there are painful flat feet can cause significant discomfort and activity limitations. There are two kinds of flat feet - flexible (mobile) or rigid (stiff). A flexible flat foot is one where the foot retains motion, and the arch is able to be recreated when there is no weight on the foot. In contrast, a rigid flat foot is ?stuck? in the flat position regardless of whether or not there is pressure placed on the foot.
Often, tarsal tunnel syndrome is misdiagnosed and confused with plantar fasciitis. Tarsal tunnel syndrome is when the tibial nerve which runs through the ankle, is pinched as it passes through the flexor retinaculum, the supportive band that surrounds the ankle joint. The symptoms of tarsal tunnel syndrome are often limited to the ankle but the since the nerve passes through the entire foot it can cause arch pain. Arch pain associated with foot strain is mainly caused by a pronated foot (rolls inward) or a flat foot. These are usually not singular causes of arch pain, but in combination with other factors, arch pain may result.
Flat feet don't usually cause problems, but they can put a strain on your muscles and ligaments (ligaments link two bones together at a joint). This may cause pain in your legs when you walk. If you have flat feet, you may experience pain in any of the following areas, the inside of your ankle, the arch of your foot, the outer side of your foot, the calf, the knee, hip or back, Some people with flat feet find that their weight is distributed unevenly, particularly if their foot rolls inwards too much (overpronates). If your foot overpronates, your shoes are likely to wear out quickly. Overpronation can also damage your ankle joint and Achilles tendon (the large tendon at the back of your ankle). See your GP if you or your child has flat feet and your feet are painful, even when wearing supportive, well-fitting shoes, shoes wear out very quickly, feet appear to be getting flatter, feet are weak, numb or stiff, Your GP may refer you to a podiatrist (foot specialist).
A patient is asked to step with full body weight on the symptomatic foot, keeping the unaffected foot off the ground. The patient is then instructed to "raise up on the tip toes" of the affected foot. If the posterior tibial tendon has been attenuated or ruptured, the patient will be unable to lift the heel off the floor and rise onto the toes. In less severe cases, the patient will be able to rise on the toes, but the heel will not be noted to invert as it normally does when we rise onto the toes. X-rays can be helpful but are not diagnostic of the adult acquired flatfoot. Both feet, the symptomatic and asymptomatic - will demonstrate a flatfoot deformity on x-ray. Careful observation may show a greater severity of deformity on the affected side.
Non Surgical Treatment
In mild cases of flatfoot the first line of treatment is often custom orthotics. In patients with a flexible deformity, supporting the arch with a custom arch support will take the strain off the joints and muscles, bringing the heel into a corrected position. Wider shoe gear may be prescribed to accommodate foot pain and motion and stretching exercises to decrease stiffness and stress on the foot. In cases of severe collapse, especially if the patient is not a good surgical candidate or has a mild tear, a brace may be made to accommodate the foot and ankle, thus supporting the arch and ankle.
Surgical Treatment
The procedure involves cutting and shifting the bone, and then performing a tendon transfer. First, the surgeon performs a calcaneal osteotomy, cutting the heel bone and shifting it into the correct position. Second, the surgeon transfers the tendon. Reroute the flexor digitorum to replace the troublesome posterior tibial tendon. Finally, the surgeon typically performs one or more fine-tuning procedures that address the patient?s specific foot deformity. Often, the surgeon will lengthen the Achilles tendon because it is common for the mispositioned foot to cause the Achilles to tighten. Occasionally, to increase the arch, the surgeon performs another osteotomy of one of the bones of the midfoot. Occasionally, to point the foot in a straightforward direction, the surgeon performs another osteotomy of the outside portion of the calcaneus.
Stretching Exercises
Below are two simple plantar fasciitis stretching exercises to help improve the flexibility of the muscles and tendons around the foot and ankle. Plantar fasciitis stretch taken from The Stretching Handbook. Kneel on one foot and place your body weight over your knee. Keep your heel on the ground and lean forward. In the photo to the left, the athlete is stretching the arch of her left foot. Kneel on one foot with your hands on the ground. Place your body weight over your knee and slowly move your knee forward. Keep your toes on the ground and arch your foot. In the photo to the right, the athlete is stretching the arch of his right foot.
Have I Suffered An Achilles Tendon Rupture
The Achilles tendon is the large cord like structure on the back of the leg just above the heel. It is the largest tendon in the body and has a tremendous amount of force transmitted through it during walking, running and jumping activities. The Achilles tendon is prone to injury, including rupture during periods of increased stress and activity. Common activities causing injury include running, basketball, baseball, football, soccer, volleyball and tennis. These activities require jumping and pushing forces that are possible due to the strength of the calf musculature and the ability of the Achilles tendon to endure this stress. Men from the ages of 30-50 are the most commonly injured during weekend athletic activities.
Your Achilles tendon helps you point your foot downward, rise on your toes and push off your foot as you walk. You rely on it virtually every time you move your foot. Rupture usually occurs in the section of the tendon located within 2.5 inches (6 centimeters) of the point where it attaches to the heel bone. This section may be predisposed to rupture because it gets less blood flow, which may impair its ability to heal. Ruptures often are caused by a sudden increase in the amount of stress on your Achilles tendon. Common examples include increasing the intensity of sports participation, falling from a height, stepping into a hole.
Patients often describe a feeling of being kicked or hit with a baseball bat in the back of the heel during athletic activity. They are unable to continue the activity and have an extreme loss of strength with the inability to effectively walk. On physical examination there is often a defect that can be felt in the tendon just above the heel. A diagnosis of an Achilles tendon rupture is commonly made on physical exam. An MRI may be ordered to confirm the suspicion of a tear or to determine the extent of the tear.
In order to diagnose Achilles tendon rupture a doctor or physiotherapist will give a full examination of the area and sometimes an X ray is performed in order to confirm the diagnosis. A doctor may also recommend an MRI or CT scan is used to rule out any further injury or complications.
Non Surgical Treatment
Pain medicines can help decrease pain and swelling. A cast may be needed for 2 months or more. Your foot will be positioned in the cast with your toes pointing slightly down. Your caregiver will change your cast and your foot position several times while the tendon heals. Do not move or put weight on your foot until your caregiver tells you it is okay. A leg brace or splint may be needed to help keep your foot from moving while your tendon heals. Heel lifts are wedges put into your shoe or cast. Heel lifts help decrease pressure and keep your foot in the best position for your tendon to heal. Surgery may be needed if other treatments do not work. The edges of your tendon may need to be stitched back together. You may need a graft to patch the tear. A graft is a piece of another tendon or artificial material.
Surgical Treatment
A completely ruptured Achilles tendon requires surgery and up to 12 weeks in a cast. Partial tears are sometimes are treated with surgery following by a cast. Because the tendon shortens as it heals, a heel lift is used for 6 months or more after the cast comes off. Physical therapy to regain flexibility and then strength are begun as soon as the cast is off.
To help reduce your chance of getting Achilles tendon rupture, take the following steps. Do warm-up exercises before an activity and cool down exercises after an activity. Wear proper footwear. Maintain a healthy weight. Rest if you feel pain during an activity. Change your routine. Switch between high-impact activities and low-impact activities. Strengthen your calf muscle with exercises.

SAINT PAUL, Minn. — Police arrested a city council candidate, accused of posting a topless photo of his wife on his campaign website, on Monday.
According to the Washington Post, the Saint Paul independent candidate David Martinez, 38, posted the photo on Saturday on his now-removed blog.
This incident came after police granted a request from his wife of 13 years for a restraining order and was Martinez's third police encounter this month, the Washington Post reports.
Earlier this month, Martinez was arrested for screaming expletives at the staff at George Latimer Central Library on July 5, according to the Washington Post.
He was then banned from entering Target Field the following day after hopping the railing between concessions and a bar, according to the Pioneer Press.
KARE11 reports that the nude photo was posted along with a copy of the restraining order. The post was online for 33 hours.
His wife states in the restraining order that Martinez was physically abusive and had a negative impact on their 7-year-old and 10-year-old children, according to Washington Post.
Martinez told KARE11 that he did not post the photo. Instead, he claims his wife knows his passwords and hacked his account in attempt to sabotage him.
Martinez was arrested for revenge porn, but has not yet been charged, the Washington Post reports.
In Minnesota, spreading revenge porn is a felony. The penalty includes up to three years in prison and a $5,000 fine.

Disneyland Is Opening a 'Frozen'-Themed Land Complete With Elsa's Castle
Update: February 14, 2020 10:52 a.m.
It's been a few months since we first got word that a Frozen-themed land would be coming to Disneyland Paris, and information has been pretty scarce since. But now the Disney gods have finally blessed us with a bit more news including the area's layout.
While the land is not expected to open until 2023, according to Yahoo, Twitter account @OutsidEarsDLP posted some blueprints of where it will fit into Disneyland Paris. It seems like it's going to be a sizable portion of the park. In a follow up tweet, the account said that the area will feature an "aquatic attraction, (similar to one that is also under construction in Hong Kong Disneyland), two shops as well as a restaurant, and a meeting place with the two queens of Arendelle."
[OUTSIDEXCLU] Nous savons que vous les attendiez, voici les premiers plans du futur lieu de villégiature d'Anna et Elsa aux #WaltDisneyStudios à #DisneylandParis. pic.twitter.com/RFNakO7MVD
— OutsidEars (@OutsidEarsDLP) February 10, 2020
Connue aujourd'hui sous le nom de "Frozen Land", cette nouvelle zone se composera d'une attraction aquatique, soeur de celle en construction à Hong Kong Disneyland, de deux boutiques ainsi que d'un restaurant et un lieu de rencontres avec les deux reines d'Arendelle. #Insidears pic.twitter.com/HGb4PgbW8g
— OutsidEars (@OutsidEarsDLP) February 10, 2020
Yahoo reported that there will be a 7.5 acre lake, which will host a show with 360-degree seating. There will also be a model of Elsa's ice castle so you can sing Let It Go to your heart's content.
Although we haven't heard much out of Disneyland Paris, this makes us hopeful that we'll be getting even more info soon. While I wouldn't book your plane tickets just yet, who could blame you for starting to plan your trip? A gal can dream...
Original: September 16, 2019 2:27 p.m.
Disneyland Paris is working on one of its "most ambitious" expansions yet with an entire Frozen-themed area. And because, you know, it's Disney, they're going all out with a snow-capped mountain of Arendelle and everything.
Though deets are still pretty scarce (we don't know when it's opening, for one), plans are officially a go. According to Disney Parks Blog, it's part of Walt Disney Studios Park's multi-year expansion plan. We're getting Marvel and Star Wars ones, too. And while obviously you'll get meet-and-greets with the whole gang—Anna, Elsa, Olaf, and more—the entire experience will reportedly be immersive, too.
"The expansion plan—one of the most ambitious development projects at Disneyland Paris since the resort's 1992 opening—underscores Disney's commitment to the resort's long-term success as its brand beacon in Europe," the press release states.
Fans can also expect a "magnificent lake," a new restaurant, and a shop for all your merch needs.
But since the park's opening is still up in the air, they've got a few more Frozen-inspired tricks up their sleeve. For one, Disney is hosting a celebration between January 11 and May 3, 2020 with a new show on the parade route. The float will feature acrobats and dancers, and guests will be able to snag exclusive treats.
Frozen: A Musical Invitation is kicking off even sooner. The multi-stage interactive performance will debut November 17, 2019.
Du 11 janvier au 3 mai 2020, rejoignez Anna, Elsa et Olaf pour une célébration enchantée ! 🍂 Et si vous ne pouvez pas attendre jusque-là 😉, swipez pour un aperçu de La Reine des Neiges : Une Invitation Musicale à Animation Celebration, dès le 17 novembre ! 🤩 ⠀ From 11 January to 3 May 2020, join Anna, Elsa and Olaf for a new enchanting experience! 🍂 Can't wait? Swipe for a sneak peek of Frozen: A Musical Invitation at Animation Celebration, opening 17 November! 🤩 ⠀ #DisneylandParis #DisneyParks #FrozenCelebration #Frozen (Visuels non contractuels - non-contractual visuals)

Nice all day vape. Good service and price as always from Vaping101.
Recommended brilliant flavour great price
Really really top flavour. On every inhale and exhale you get a slightly different not from the lemon to the crust and the meringue sweetness. not too sweet either tho which I like because it never gets sickly.
Top flavour this on.
Aunt Meringue is my current favourite. Lovely, creamy meringue, crisp, not-too-sweet apple, with a pastry undertone. Can't get enough!
The lemon meringue is pretty good too, although it could be a bit more fruity.
Great price and service from Vaping101 as usual. My 'go to' site for the past few months.
Struggle to find a better liquid. Flavour and quality second to non! Quality service as always from vaping101.

Last weekend saw the premiere of two thrillers. While tvN's legal thriller Confession is off to a good start with 5% viewership, OCN's crime thriller Kill It marks its first week with ratings below 3 %.
According to Nielsen Korea, Confession premiered on March 23 with a 4.6 percent nationwide audience share. By the second episode, which was aired on March 24, this figure rose to 5.4 percent. On the other hand, Kill It recorded a meager 1.1% for its first episode but saw an increase to 2.3% during the second episode.
Confession revolves around a prosecutor named Choi Do-hyun (played by Lee Joon-ho) and a detective by the name of Ki Choon-ho (Yoo Jae-myung). While it is not clear if the two will team up or be each other's adversaries in the show yet, they had an intense confrontation scene in the second episode which garnered a lot of attention and made for a tense viewing experience, especially because Lee and Yoo displayed complete immersion in their respective characters.
Prosecutor Choi faces a dilemma as he is hired to defend a guy whose innocence he had already proved in case a few years ago. Detective Ki tells him that the guy was actually guilty in the case from five years ago, but not now. The second episode ended on an interrogation scene as Choi asked his client, "Did you murder someone five years ago?" His straightforward question shocked the viewers and raised anticipation for next week's episodes.
OCN's Kill It, on the other hand, tells the story of a detective called Do Hyun-jin, who unwittingly becomes close with an assassin who lives a dual life—Kim Soo-hyun. Nana and Jang Ki-yong essay the roles of the detective and the hitman, repesctively. It is revealed that they live on the same floor and become friends, unaware that they are actually hunting down each other. In the second episode, Detective Do has a confrontation with the Russian mafia, and Kim surprises the viewers by turning up to protect her.
Confession and Kill It air every Saturday and Sunday at 21:00 and 22:20 KST, respectively.

Over at Crain's, an update on the LNG export market, with an Exelon case study. Data points:
- awaiting federal permission to build a $3 billion LNG export plant in Brownsville, Texas
- until recently, regulatory barriers prevented US gas suppliers from fully participating in global markets
- Obama set precedent: began approving non-FTA export facilities
- first such export facility began exporting out of Louisiana last year
- US with price advantage
- US: sells at $3.20 per million BTUs; $10 in some overseas markets
- LNG exports could help ease pressure on Exelon's generating profits
- but securing approval could take year! -- I thought Trump was working to stop these delays
- by time approval given, could be too late; by then export markets could be glutted with US LNG
- risks: China may be miffed that Trump pulled out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership
- not mentioned: the expansion of the Panama Canal

State of the Union
On February 24, 2009, President Barack Obama delivered his first address to the Congress and all of America. I read President Obama's speech before I watched it on the computer. I wanted to read the speech before watching it so I could hopefully understand it better. I read through the speech a couple of times and even had a highlighter to highlight the main points. It was beneficial to read it first rather than watch it because I was able to stop and ask questions if I wasn't sure what Obama was talking about. Some of the points in his speech were interesting to me, and overall I felt President Obama was concerned for all Americans. All through his speech he gives us hope, but also targets the nation's fears, emotions and concerns. A point that President Obama gives is that he is not just a president, but a father. I think this statement reassures America. When you think of a father, you think of someone who is always going to be there for you and will not let you down. He is in a position of power that influences people and is a leading man. It is important to have a president who knows what the American people are going through and what we are feeling.
President Obama tells us what the problems are in America, and then he tells us they can become solved if we act upon them. He reinforces this point all through his speech. As president he said he can't do everything on his own, we, all of America, have to come together and able to make a difference. He reiterates, there are many crises in America and they will just become worse if we don't do anything about it.
There are three challenges President Obama addresses. I want to mention all of these challenges because I feel they are important. The first one he talks about is the new American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. He knows that the economy is worsening and is affecting many Americans. He tells us the Recovery Plan is the first step of getting our economy back...

This thing is so much fun to wear at the resorts. (Especially on Gaper Day at A Basin!)
Surprisingly warm, but the ventilation allows you to cool down, too.
My one and only complaint - the claim that this is made of "100% waterproof fabric" is not true at all. As a snowboarder I sit on my butt in the snow quite often, and whenever I wear this onesie my butt is completely soaked before lunch. "Water resistant" might be more accurate.
Everything I could have wished for and more ! I've been looking for something like this for years. ! Thank you tipsyelves !!! ❤ If you sold them in Canada you'd make a killing.
I am very happy, I love the colors, the suit fits great, fast shipping, great customer service! Please make more ski suits in other neon colors. Thanks, John
Once again tipsy elves delivers a high quality, creative, and all around awesome product! Keep em coming tipsy elves!
I bought this and wore it to a ski trip in chamonix. Everybody absolutely loved it! Super warm and comfortable on top of looking totally rad bruh! What more could you ask for?

The Best Cheap Grooming Products You Can Use On Your Dog
I've had my dog for a little over a year, and I've finally found the most perfect and cheap way to groom my dog. No more taking it to Pets Mart or wherever you go, spending $50 or more to get it groomed for you. You can do it all yourself, so it never costs a dime! Well until you actually pay for the products of course, and if you ran out, and had to buy more, but after that! It never costs a dime!
Baking Soda
One cheap $2.99 box of baking soda. Why baking soda? Baking soda is a great product when it comes to eliminating odors. Just sprinkle a little in your dogs bath and WALLA! MAGIC!
It might sound a little wierd, but oatmeal does wonders in a dogs bath. I sprinkle a little in my dogs bath water, and her hair is like silk. If you love your oatmeal and don't really want to share it with your dog, then that's alright! I have a perfect alternative: It's called "Oster Animal Care, Oatmeal Naturals", it's country apple scented. Mmm. I bought it a my local grocery store, Walmart. It only costs me $5! I actually recommend this more than just plain oatmeal because it's a shampoo also.
Baby Shampoo
Yeah, Yeah, I know, "That's for babies!", but it's also perfect for dogs! I used to use this before I started using the, Oster Animal Care, Oatmeal Naturals Shampoo. When I did use it, I loved it! For my dog of course. Baby shampoo is so pure and has no chemicals! So it was perfect for a dogs skin. Especially a dog with dandruff problems.
Vitamin Enriched Detangling Conditioning Spray
It cost me $10.00 on Ebay, but was well worth the purchase. I've had it for a little over a year, and it's still almost full! You just spray it on your dog after you've washed it and towel dryed it a little; so while he/she's damp, brush it in, and finish drying. Hair it super soft and silky afterwards.
Blow Dryer
If you want to make sure your dog is nice and dry, so he/she won't catch a cold, use an adjustable blow dryer. I keep my blow dryer temperature on warm and I blow dry on low so I won't scare my dog. If your dog is scared to death of the blow dryer, I suggest you look online for tips to help your dog get used to it, that's what i did and it worked!
Pro-Sense Odor Eliminating Freshening Spray
I like finishing off with a great scented spray, even if my dog already smells wonderful, I just want her to have that smell of extra freshness! The scent of this spray is literally the scent of "Fresh". I love it! The price of this depends on where you buy it from. It's $9.20 on Amazon.
Pedi Paws
The incredible pet nail trimmer! I'm so in love with this trimmer. It's perfect for dogs, It beats going to Pets Mart spending over $20 or more getting your dogs nails trimmed every month. I payed $9.75 on Ebay. It works well. My dog loves it, I love it, and last but not least, my pockets love it!
These 7 items are the best items and cheap items, that you can use to groom your dog! You save so much money over the years, your dog is happier, and you bond a lot more with your dog when you're the one grooming him/her. Why go to Pets Mart, or where ever you go, every month, spending atleast $600 to $1200 a year on your dog, when you can save so much! Take my advice and lose the grooming appointments, you'll see the difference in your pockets for sure.

I wish someone would explain the meaning of the "hi" text. I do not understand the constant texting but never asking someone out on a date. If you are interested in me, then ask me out or ask me to do something. I would like someone who would get to the point and be honest. I feel that a lot of the men that I have corresponded with are interested in just texting. Yep, here we go another pen pal. And I am sure this goes both ways, that girls waste time and just send "hi" texts also.
I am probably going to write about more what not to do than what to do.
You text me short texts every morning that consist of "hi" or "this day sucks" but why can't you say "good morning" or "how is your day?" Anything that would show some interest in the person you are texting. Girls want to feel like they are important to you or that you care, or possibly show some interest. I do not think anyone wants to start their day with a debbie downer text from someone that they barely know. Some days I feel like I'm trying to cheer up Eeyore.
I have just spent the morning yelling at my kids about getting in the car before school or fought with them over what color pants to wear or that they can not eat Doritos for breakfast, so getting a good morning text on my way to work can be a complete game changer for my day. I love "good morning" texts. Honestly, a good morning text will probably get you a date with me.
Or there is the every other day "hi" from someone. You don't want to seem too needy or desperate so I get just a "hi" every few days. And nothing else. I honestly do not even know how to respond to those texts. I ask questions back for example, " do you have any plans this weekend" and I get "not much" in response. I know we are not all super chatty but you need to put a little effort into it. Something to get the conversation going…
For example its basic…might be kinda nerdy but it gets the conversation going…
Man-How was your day?
Woman–Good, The weather today is beautiful. I am going to go for a hike after work
Man-Really, that sounds perfect. Where do you like to hike?
Woman-I love to hike at the state park near my house. It's so relaxing in the evening.
Man-I know. I have started to get back into hiking and running. Would you like to go hiking next week one night?
Simple conversation that could lead to a date…
I do not know who invented the "hi" text but it has got to be the most confusing text to send to a girl.
And if you are going to send a "hi" text, can you please follow up with something like "whatcha doing, did you make it to work, how was your workout", or anything that shows you have interest in them. Something that they have told you in the last few days that you can ask about.
If you have to store a "notes section" in your phone with things to remember about that person, then do it. There are many reminder apps these days, just pick one. And if you ask about my day and I tell you about it, then have text me back and start a conversation over it. Don't just not respond.
Here is the truth..I get "hi" texts and " good nights" texts, which turn into nothing. I eventually get bored and don't respond. Say what you mean and just ask. Don't spend weeks or months sending short 'hi" texts because that does not turn into a conversation or definitely not a relationship.
I love when I get something that includes a bit of something we had discussed earlier. I love that I told you my kids had swimming lessons 3 days ago and you remembered and asked about it. Maybe you just looked back at our messages, but I don't care because you put some effort into the text. Maybe you know I get up every morning to work out, so you text me at 7 am each morning to see how my workout was.
Those are the things that girls want… If you like her or want it to go somewhere, then show some interest in her life…

AMG, the performance division of German automaker Mercedes-Benz, celebrated its 50-year anniversary in 2017. This week the manufacturer lifted the veil on a stunning new supercar, the Mercedes-AMG Project ONE. It was part of a trio of new vehicles the company introduced for the first time in Canada on the occasion of the 2018 Canadian International AutoShow in Toronto.
This two-seat, mid-engine supercar concept weds exceptional track-inspired performance with Formula 1-developed hybrid technology that makes it a realistic daily-use proposition. The 1.6L direct-injection turbocharged V6 and the electric motor together generate over 1,000 hp, transmitted to the rear wheels via an 8-speed manual transmission. Acceleration from 0-100 km/h takes a mere six seconds, and the car can attain a top speed of 350 km/h.
The high-performance plug-in hybrid system is part of the automaker's new EQ electric banner.
The design of the Mercedes-AMG Project ONE is as remarkable as its powertrain, its most notable elements being the highly muscular proportions, forward cockpit, oversized wheel arches, and a wasp waist and extended rear end for the body.
Toronto also hosted the Canadian debut of the third-generation new 2019 Mercedes-Benz CLS. It combines the brand's new style language, characterized by clean contours and subtle lines, with the previous version's arching midsection, flat side window lines and low greenhouse.
In its CLS 53 4MATIC+ version, a new 3.0L twin-turbo makes use of an exhaust gas turbocharger and an additional electric compressor. The EQ Boost starter-alternator briefly delivers an added 21 hp and a boost in torque of 184 lb-ft of torque; it also feeds the 48V onboard electrical system. The 6-cylinder in-line engine produces 429 hp and a maximum of 384 lb-ft of torque. Rounding out the powertrain are the AMG SPEEDSHIFT TCT 9G transmission and the fully variable AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive system.
Mercedes wasn't done wowing the crowds in Toronto either. Also present at its stand is the reimagined G-Class SUV, just recently unveiled for the first time in Detroit. Click on the link to learn more about this luxury all-terrain utility model.

The economy is on a downward spiral, is poised for a hard landing. Many in the BJP know it but do not say it out of fear
The spokespersons of the government say that demonetisation is not responsible for this deceleration. They are right. The deceleration had started much earlier. Demonetisation only added fuel to fire.
I shall be failing in my national duty if I did not speak up even now against the mess the finance minister has made of the economy. I am also convinced that what I am going to say reflects the sentiments of a large number of people in the BJP and elsewhere who are not speaking up out of fear.
So, what is the picture of the Indian economy today? Private investment has shrunk as never before in two decades, industrial production has all but collapsed, agriculture is in distress, construction industry, a big employer of the work force, is in the doldrums, the rest of the service sector is also in the slow lane, exports have dwindled, sector after sector of the economy is in distress, demonetisation has proved to be an unmitigated economic disaster, a badly conceived and poorly implemented GST has played havoc with businesses and sunk many of them and countless millions have lost their jobs with hardly any new opportunities coming the way of the new entrants to the labour market. For quarter after quarter, the growth rate of the economy has been declining until it reached the low of 5.7 per cent in the first quarter of the current fiscal, the lowest in three years.
The spokespersons of the government say that demonetisation is not responsible for this deceleration. They are right. The deceleration had started much earlier. Demonetisation only added fuel to fire.
Economies are destroyed more easily than they are built. It took almost four years of painstaking and hard work in the late nineties and early 2000 to revive a sagging economy we had inherited in 1998. Nobody has a magic wand to revive the economy overnight. Steps taken now will take their own time to produce results. So, a revival by the time of the next Lok Sabha election appears highly unlikely. A hard landing appears inevitable. Bluff and bluster is fine for the hustings, it evaporates in the face of reality.
The prime minister claims that he has seen poverty from close quarters. His finance minister is working over-time to make sure that all Indians also see it from equally close quarters.

Baltimore, Maryland. Though in Pennsylvania, it is surprisingly only 5 miles north of the Mason-Dixon Line.
The town was settled in 1730 by a group of Catholic settlers, then known as "Conwego." It was renamed, after Hanover, Germany, in 1745 and made an official town in 1815.
Today, Hanover is known for its downtown area, Sentry sculpture, and historic buildings.

Breakfast, Lunch & supper;
a 3
week course
Week One
Week Two
Week Three
Morning time
I recently shocked a client when I told her I don't often eat breakfast (as I intermittent fast).
She said, 'But isn't breakfast the most important meal of the day?'
I answered - well that really depends what you're eating for breakfast if you're starting your day with a sugary carbohydrate loaded meal - truthfully you'd be much better off without it!
In week 1 of this 3 week course we will discuss some truths about breakfast, including the ideal time to eat and what to start the day with (whether it's at 8 AM or midday).
Most peoples mornings are rushed, so the recipes included can be put together quickly, with some slightly longer more indulgent recipes for the weekend.
You will learn how to make; goodness packed açai bowls, your own nut butter and nut milk, fluffy almond milk French toast, easy favourite smoothies, pancakes and overnight oats.
Lunch is an important meal and an easy one to get wrong. We need plenty of energy to power through the rest of the day without the 3 o'clock energy slump or the temptation of snacking on sugary treats to keep us going.
In week 2 of this course, you will learn how to make satisfying and filling lunches that leave you full of energy rather than sitting in a food coma. There will be options of lunches to have on the go, or to pack up to take to work as well as longer lunches that you can take your time over.
You will learn how to make; filling and nutrient dense soups, hearty and satisfying salads with delicious dressings, easy adaptable grain based dishes, buddha bowls and more....
This is generally the meal that most people have more time to prepare for and to sit down and enjoy. That said we don't want to make supper too heavy or it will disturb our sleep cycles.
In week 3 of this course you will learn nutritious quick meals that you can eat together as a family or with friends.
You will learn how to make; creamy vegan Mac & cheese, a tasty veggie burger with all the trimmings, a delicious lentil bolognese, 5 veg pasta sauce (for the littles and the bigs!) and a kid friendly curry with gluten free naan!

I have been passionate about nutrition since my early twenties.
Once I saw food as calories.
Now I see food as nourishment.
This shift of perspective is freedom
There is no one size fits all when it comes to diet (by diet I mean style of eating. NEVER EVER GO ON A DIET)
I have been vegetarian since my teens and it's a way of eating that sits right for me. As a health coach though I have no judgement around people who choose to eat meat and in some cases it is in fact a healthier choice.
When I coach clients I look to create a bespoke programme for their needs which takes into account;
- Ancestry
- Health concerns
- Physical activity
- Likes and dislikes
- Blood type
- Stage of life
And much more….
That said … nutrition is more straight forward than can sometimes appear to be the case.
Generally speaking I advocate my clients to;
eat more plants and less meat, drink more water, reduce sugar, gluten and dairy, move more often, prioritise rest & relaxation and experiment with intermittent fasting.
Ok if that sounds like a lot
- of course I meet you where you are at -
and we create a programme that is sustainable for you.
You can book 1-1 health coaching with me or it forms part of your bespoke wellness plan.

I also teach healthy cooking courses if you are local to me in South Oxfordshire you can join live or you can cook from the comfort of your own kitchen and follow the class via zoom.

The FFHH (Fitness For Human Habitation) Bill and Inventories
Date: 13/11/18 Category: Landlord Advice
What is the Homes (Fitness For Human Habitation) Bill 2018
The Homes (Fitness for Human Habitation) Bill was presented to the House of Commons for its first reading on the 19th July 2017. Now, the Bill has reached the report stage, which takes place on 26th November 2018. This is where MPs can suggest amendments to the Bill or new parts they think should be added.
Currently, Landlords are not required to ensure that their rented properties are absent of hazards that can be potentially harmful to the wellbeing of the occupants. There are circumstances that an offence is committed if the Landlord fails to comply with the Local authority's enforcement notice under the Housing Act 2004. Under these conditions, tenants do not have the ability to take direct legal action towards the landlord to resolve a defective property. This has resulted in Landlords having the ability to rent out potentially dangerous properties.
The Bill itself aims to achieve the following:
- To increase the quality of private and social rental properties
- Landlords will be under obligation to ensure that the property is in good condition
- Tenants will have the right to take legal action against their Landlord if these conditions are not met
- Applying any category 1 hazard to the 1985 act section 10
We're pleased to hear the Government is not opposing such a bill. Now, they're driving to have it put through. If a success, we hope to see private and social tenants gaining the right to safe and secure homes for themselves and their families.
What this means for Landlords
With this Bill making progress through the House of Commons where it will then be passed through the House of Lords. It appears likely that this will be passed and enforced in full fruition.
The responsibility will fall heavily on the Landlords shoulders. There will be more power held by the tenants in the action they can take to ensure problems in the property are seen to and amended. Landlords will be up against more serious consequences.
Alongside the current responsibilities of ensuring a property is in housing "Fitness" which includes:
- Repair
- Stability
- Freedom From Damp
- Internal Arrangement
- Natural Lighting
- Ventilation
- Water Supply
- Drainage and sanitary conveniences
- Facilities for preparation and cooking of food and for the disposal of wastewater
We will see "Category 1" Hazards will now be under the landlord's responsibility. "Category 1" hazards are highlighted in the "Housing Health and Safety Rating System" (or HHSRS) created by the Housing Act 2004.
"What are Category 1 Hazards"
A category 1 hazard is a hazard that brings about a serious threat to the health or safety of the occupiers or visiting the property.
Examples include:
- Exposed wiring or overloaded electrical sockets
- Dangerous or broken boiler
- Bedrooms that are very cold
- Leaking roof
- Mould on the walls or ceiling
- Rats or other pest or vermin infestation
- Broken steps at the top of the stairs
- Lack of security due to badly-fitting external doors or problems with locks
There will be a grand total of 29 prescribed matters which will mean the Landlord has the responsibility to ensure these are in order. Furthermore, Smoke alarms, Carbon Monoxide detectors and electrical safety testing will also be included.
When a landlord fails to fix a problem which deems the dwelling unfit. They may be at risk of having their landlord licence revoked. Tenants will now no longer require a detailed assessment carried out by a local authority. Instead, it will be taken directly to the courts if there's no agreement made between landlord and tenant.
The Landlord will not be obliged to issues in respect to section 11 of the Housing Act 2004 such as:
- Any works for which the tenant is liable as a result of his or her failure to use the dwelling in a tenant-like manner, or
- Any works to any item or fixture that the tenant is entitled to remove from the dwelling.
How regular property inspections can help
The new responsibilities of Landlords will make regular Property Inspections such as Inventories, Check Ins, Interim Property Visits and Check Outs vital aspects throughout a tenancy.
A landlord or property manager who takes full advantage of these services will have a far smoother process of keeping the property up to scratch. The inventory clerks word is not final. But, it will help raise awareness of issues in the property that have been mentioned in the new Bill.
How? It's simple:
- High-quality photographic evidence
- A full and thorough snapshot of the property during the inventory stage will provide the landlord with high-quality photographic proof of the properties condition at that point in time.
This followed up with a check in will continue the trail of evidence of the properties condition. This is at the time the tenants move in (bear in the mind the property should be FFHH by this point!) However, if there are any issues, the report will highlight these issues and bring it to the attention of the Property Manager and/or Landlord.
The use of regular property inspections during the tenancy period, if there are any major changes or damages to the property will be photographically documented too. An Interim property inspection also aims to make the landlord or letting agent aware of any developing problems such as mould issues, structural damage or overcrowding in the property.
- A full and thorough snapshot of the property during the inventory stage will provide the landlord with high-quality photographic proof of the properties condition at that point in time.
- An experienced eye
- Our clerks are trained to look out for:
- Damp and Mould
- Evidence of more occupiers
- Damage to gas items
- Electrical appliances and powerpoints
- Smoke Alarms and Carbon Monoxide Detectors
- Our clerks are trained to look out for:
Although this bill has not come into play, yet, we feel it is always important that Landlords and Property Managers harness the full benefits of independent inventory reporting. As mentioned above, you will end up with a full snapshot of the properties condition before, during and at the end of the tenancy period. Key action points and issues will be highlighted to you immediately enabling quick and efficient action to maintain the property you manage or rent out.
If you require further information on any of our property inspection services, do not hesitate to contact us on 0207 989 9128 or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com

Eagles tribute concert to benefit Carson City Kiwanis programs
If you go
WHAT: Eagles tribute concert to benefit Kiwanis
WHEN: 7-9 p.m. Aug. 26
WHERE: Bob Boldrick Theater, Carson City Community Center
COST: $20-$45 at http://www.visitcarsoncity.com
Songs plucked from the musical canon of classic American rock are taking center stage for a cause.
The Kiwanis Club of Carson City is holding its third annual concert fundraiser — this time offering a tribute to the music of The Eagles — on Aug. 26.
The band Heartache Tonight will pay tribute to the group famous for hits like "Hotel California," "Peaceful Easy Feeling" and "Take It Easy."
The event, Kiwanis' biggest annual fundraiser, helps finance the club's many service projects held throughout the year.
Projects typically benefit senior and youth populations and range from trade and scholastic scholarships to donations for Meals on Wheels and other nonprofits.
"We do a lot of things in the community that we spend money on. A big one is back-to-school shopping that we do with children who are impoverished," said Brian Howard, the club's president-elect. "We donate money to other great programs like Advocates to End Domestic Violence and CASA. We sponsor a Boy Scout troop and donate money to Food for Thought."
Howard said the fundraiser will set the club's budget for the 2017-18 year. Twenty percent of net ticket sales will benefit Holiday with a Hero, an annual shopping spree that pairs underprivileged children with public safety officers.
Also, 20 percent of overall net revenue will go to Kiwanis' three scholarship programs.
"Big areas we're fundraising for is scholarships to help local graduates get to college, whether WNC or technical school, UNR or Harvard for that matter. Just as long as it's benefitting local kids," Howard said.
Additionally, part of the Kiwanis budget helps support the Carson High School Key Club, which teaches students about leadership and volunteerism.
"None of these proceeds will go to people's salaries. All proceeds go to service projects and nonprofits or other events for the next calendar year," Howard said.
Kiwanis' last two benefit concerts were held at Piper's Opera House in Virginia City. The change of venue sprung from the club's desire to include its home turf.
"We really wanted to come home and be able to fundraise here in town. We keep our events local and wanted to have our own community participate in the event," Howard said.
The music will start at 7 and run until 9 p.m. at the Bob Boldrick Theater inside the Carson City Community Center.
Tickets in advance, at http://www.visitcarsoncity.com, are $20 for general admission and $30 for premium seating. VIP seating, which includes one beverage, is $45. Tickets will be sold at the door, but prices will go up by $5 on the week of the event.
To learn more about Kiwanis, which is celebrating its 58th year in Carson City, go to carsoncitykiwanis.org, or join the club at noon Thursdays in the banquet room at Casino Fandango.

Where the Growth Is
Times are tough, but there is growth to be found for the print industry. One bright spot is print on demand.
According to CAP Ventures, the print-on-demand (POD) market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 14% between now and 2006, amounting to a $50.5 billion market. This fast growing market includes corporate and commercial printers, publishers, quick printers and service bureaus.
IBM is leveraging its understanding of document management, production and presentation to enhance its solutions for each of these business sectors.
As printing operations move out of the back office, IBM's products and services enable content-driven applications, including sales and marketing, product literature and documentation, human resources and training, books, corporate communications and advertising, to be customized and produced on-demand.
Digital technology is enabling us to print anything at any time. It is also allowing us to digitize nearly every form of content imaginable, and create new forms of content never seen before.
Companies now have the ability to optimize business output, whether print, fax, e-mail, Web or the Internet. No matter what form the output takes, the content side will be managed as electronic files.
It's all about choices. Whether readers sample a book electronically and then order a single hard copy, or customize a book to their exact needs, it is new content management technology that's opening up these possibilities.
At IBM, we're building on the success of these new technologies, and addressing the marriage of information and printing. We're looking beyond hardware, and providing companies with tools to improve operational efficiency and reduce costs.
For example, IBM Printing Systems' Infoprint Workflow and Infoprint Manager provides a single print management solution to automate and control the total output management process.
