Does my landlord have to provide air-conditioning?
PLEASE NOTE: this FAQ is sourced from the blog of the NSW Tenants Union and so refers to NSW tenancy law and legislation. The sections of legislation referred to are very similar in the ACT so we have posted the answer here for your interest. Please call the ACT Tenants Advice Service for detailed information and advice about how this might apply in the ACT and to your situation. If you already have air-conditioning installed but it is not working, please see our factsheet on repairs here.

There might be a few of you wondering whether you can make your landlord install air-conditioning.
The answer is: maybe, there's an argument for it, but it depends.
The Residential Tenancies Act 2010 does not say anything specifically about air-conditioning. (It does, however, contemplate that facilities for 'cooling' (and, for that matter, 'heating') may be 'essential services' that justify an urgent repair in the event of a breakdown).
The most relevant provisions for sweltering tenants are the contractual obligations the Act places on landlords to provide the premises 'fit for habitation' (section 52(1)) and to provide and maintain the premises 'in areasonable state of repair, having regard to the age of, rent payable for and prospective life of the premises' (section 63(1)).
The 'fit for habitation term' and the 'reasonable state of repair term' are, apparently, two separate obligations. The Tribunal has pondered their relationship and differences here.
The fit for habitation term is the more objective: it means that the premises are safe and reasonably comfortable. This comes from the nineteenth century English case of Proudfoot v Hart (1890) 25 QBD 42, where the words 'fit for habitation' were held to mean that 'the premises might be used and dwelt in not only with safety, but with reasonable comfort, by the class of persons by whom and for the sort of purpose for which, they were to be occupied'. As the Tribunal observes, consideration of 'the class of persons' should now be dispensed with as anachronistic, and instead a generally observed, contemporary standard of safety and reasonable comfort should be applied.
The 'reasonable state of repair' term is more relative: the standard here may vary according to the rent payable for the premises, and to how much longer the premises are to remain standing. This means, in particular, that the standard of repair for relatively expensive premises may be relatively high – higher than what might be required to be merely 'fit for habitation'.
A case for air-conditioning could be made under either of these obligations, but it will depend very much on the circumstances.
For example, it's possible to think of premises – for example, a west-facing flat, with fixed windows and no insulation, somewhere that regularly gets hot – that will not be reasonably comfortable without air-conditioning, so the case might be made that air-conditioning is required for those premises by the fit for habitation term.
On the other hand, in other premises – say a $5000 per week penthouse in a luxurious new building – air-conditioning might be required under the 'reasonable state of repair' term, even if the discomfort is not so bad as to make the premises uninhabitable.
In any event, the extreme weather conditions today will be a poor test of what's required by these obligations. For today, keep a T-shirt in the fridge. If your place gets uncomfortably hot even in ordinary weather, consider asking your landlord to do something about it.

Dear Zig,
It has been a long week with lots of excitement. On Monday you went to your first ever NFL football game and wow it was amazing! Chiefs beat the Chargers in the season opener in a pouring rain! Your mom was a trooper. As soon as we walked in the stadium amid the roaring crowd you started kicking! "Go Chiefs" was how I chose to interpret those.
After the game we flew to Atlantic Beach, NC and the plane zonked you out. Uncle Mark and Aunt Abby got married and you kicked up a storm at the reception to let them know how excited you were. We then swam in the ocean, you had a few sips of champagne, and back to Wichita we went.
At this moment I am writing to you from a plane en route to Phoenix for the week. I am going to be gone for 3 weeks on this trip! I miss you and your mother already. This morning I sang to you and you kicked back in approval. This week not only can I feel your kicks, I can hear you when I listen to your mom's belly! You now know up from down and shift in the womb when Kate lays down or stands up. Very cool.
Thank you for coming on all these adventures with us, the best adventures are still to come. I'll sing to you soon. Love,
– Dad

Seaside story stones are a great beach art project and make pretty 'loose parts' toys to bring home and use for storytelling and pretend play.

It's rather splendid when your classroom looks like this! Homeschool brings the benefit of being able to head off to the beach when the weather is looking good, for some hands-on, fresh-air learning in nature's own sensory tub! We had the opportunity to learn about the sand martins nesting in the sand cliffs above the beach at Porthdinllaen, got a history lesson on a visit to the restored Victorian quarry house at Nant Gwrtheyrn, and picked up some pebbles for a beach art session.

I'm rather addicted to the Uni-ball signo white pens so I usually have one in my bag, and they're perfect for drawing on pebbles. You can find the pens through on Amazon.
Flat beach pebbles, or pieces of slate, are great for this kind of white pen. Try and find a fine textured, smooth stone for the best results.
We like to gather a few pebbles and see if their shapes suggest a picture. You'll see we found some great boat-shapes ones, and we used the sailing boats that were bobbing about in the harbour as inspiration for some designs.
Beach-themed pictures are fitting but of course you can draw anything you like. To make stones that you can use for storytelling you can think of a few different characters and objects that might fit together the create a story. A totally random collection can make for very imaginative tales.
We simply used the white pen directly on the stones, but I think a layer of varnish, Mod Podge or clear nail polish might add some protection if you're going to play with your stone art.
How to use your story stones
You can enjoy the stones as a work of art, but they are also great for play and storytelling.
:: use them as loose parts for play. I think these fish would be a fun addition to a water table. Depending on the pictures you draw you can offer the stones alongside the sand pit, with wooden blocks for building, or with play dough.
:: use the stones on their own to tell story. The warmth and texture of the flat pebbles is a pleasure in your hand. You can lay them out in a sequence, or move them around to tell your tale.
:: you can also use your story stones for a more structured activity, perhaps at circle time or for a group storytelling session. Pick a few stones and chat about them. If you have two characters your pebbles can chat to each other. You can also invite each child to pick a stone out of a bucket and then move around your group with each person adding a sentence or two to tell a tale – weaving the character or object they picked into the story.

About two-thirds of voters are concerned about the recent federal government report warning of potential dire consequences for the United States due to climate change, according to a new poll.
A POLITICO/Morning Consult poll published Thursday found that two-thirds of voters surveyed are either very or somewhat concerned about the findings of the report.
Fifty-eight percent of respondents also agree that climate change is caused by human activity, the poll found.
President TrumpDonald John TrumpWarren: Dershowitz presentation 'nonsensical,' 'could not follow it' Bolton told Barr he was concerned Trump did favors for autocrats: report Dershowitz: Bolton allegations would not constitute impeachable offense MORE, however, has dismissed the report, telling reporters last month that he doesn't "believe" its findings.
Trump has frequently questioned the existence of climate change and cast doubt as to whether human activity has caused global warming, despite the scientific consensus that humans are the main driver behind the phenomenon.
Trump also told The Washington Post in an interview last week that he is among the people who don't believe in climate change, citing his "high levels of intelligence."
"One of the problems that a lot of people like myself, we have very high levels of intelligence but we're not necessarily such believers," Trump said. "As to whether or not it's man-made and whether or not the effects that you're talking about are there, I don't see it."
The poll was conducted on Dec. 4 and was based on surveys of 1,975 registered voters. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 2 percentage points.

They've thought out of the box when it comes to designing a program that encompasses truly what addicts need during treatment. They believe that the most difficult component of the recovery journey is the transition from the structured environment of rehabilitation to unsupervised world they face once discharged. To bridge this gap, the Dr. Phil's Path to Recovery program utilizes virtual reality as a component to addiction treatment. When individuals leave rehab, they can quickly fall back into their old habits when triggers are easily formed, and it's how these people react that matters the most. Banyan Treatment Center has proudly partnered with Dr. Phil's Path to Recovery to help struggling individuals learn relapse prevention techniques so that they can sustain long-term recovery.
Through virtual reality, this recovery program creates triggers for patients so that they can learn how to properly cope in high stress situations. Banyan Treatment Center utilizes this program to train patients on how to handle the high risk situations that will inevitably come their way once they are discharged. Patients will be put into a new environment, such as being at the bar or a party scene, while the clinician is walking them through the situation. Patients will be able to hear and remember coping strategies that were taught during the VR session and use them in a real setting.
As technology continues to advance, it's so important to incorporate new techniques during the addiction treatment process. Individuals who undergo virtual reality for addiction treatment can transition into everyday life with the tools needed for success. We understand the need for innovative tools when it comes to addiction treatment, and Dr. Phil's Path to Recovery is at the forefront of this advancement.

Buyer beware is a common piece of advice for people in Pennsylvania, but every business transaction depends on some level of trust among parties. To enforce this necessity, consumer laws create a framework for holding people and companies accountable for their actions in the marketplace. These laws seek to maintain standards of truthfulness, product quality and qualifications among professionals and tradespeople.

Lemon laws make car sellers keep their promises
Pennsylvania drivers have probably heard the term "lemon law". These are statutes that protect consumers from costly repairs to cars that don't live up to the promises made about them by car dealers or manufacturers.

HiHo's series showcasing kids trying new foods has gone pretty much everywhere it can go. The kids have eaten Chinese food, Korean food, southern food, and so much more. At some point, you just run out of options. Right?
Nope. At least, not yet. In the latest video, they're eating bugs. It's a great installment because it surprises your expectations. It's kids and bugs. You expect an endless loop of screaming and shattering plates. That's not what you get. Though, there is some screaming. (You even get a taste of that in the video where kids try southern cuisine. The producer starts by joking they're going to eat bugs, and the kids in that one were not impressed.)
The kids are generally brave. For the most part, they just get right in there. In particular, the little girl in purple, Clara, is braver than basically everyone you know. She doesn't even flinch as each plate of bugs is brought out. The ant sundae? No big deal. She just takes a bite. "It's good," she says. "I just ate an ant."
Clara even asks the producers if they'll save the rest of her chocolate chirp cookie -- it has crickets -- so she can eat it later. However, there was one thing that got to her. "I absolutely do not like these cherries," she says while pulling the cherry off her ant sundae. If Fear Factor was still on the air, she would dominate.

Yoha and the Dragon Tribe
Who am I ? A man passionate about music and musician since the age of 4 when I entered the music school to learn drums. Self-taught, I started playing the piano at the age of 8 years. I grew up in the middle of musical instruments, there have always been many musicians at home. My father influenced me a lot, he's been a musician for over 40 years, he's a real bluesman. My mother can not live without listening to music. It is also she who gave me my first albums. When she bought me Bob Marley's Natural Mystic, it was a revelation for me. Since then, the Wailers have played a big part of my musical education, as have Stevie Wonder, Bill Withers, The Temptations, Michael Jackson and many others. I have evolved into a universe governed by reggae, blues and soul.
When I was 9, I joined a jazz band as a drummer for a few years. I then stopped the music school at 15 years old. I started playing acoustic guitar around the age of 21 when I had
always told my father that I would never play. I created a band in 2006 with which we played until 2014. With this band, SAI, acoustic duet with notes of soul, reggae and world music, we realized more than 400 concerts across France, the Switzerland and even a tour in New Caledonia. This has been my biggest professional experience. At the end of 2009, I also created my own recording studio where I spent many years developing my musical universe.
During all these years, I really learned the job of musician. I worked on my guitar playing, my voice, the management, the booking, the realization of tours and on top of that, I developed my experience of the stage in pianos bar, solo concerts, and this in United Kingdom, in France, and elsewhere …
I stopped everything in October 2014, which was not easy. I totally changed my lifestyle, I really needed a break. I devoted myself to recording my own reggae album that I had set aside for several years before embarking on my big trip around the world.
I came back to work mixing, mastering and editing my album in April 2015. Still traveling, it is in 2016 that the album was finalized and that I could consider an exit for June 2017, finally decided to share my own musical project.
Aziz, a producer, was the first to really believe in this project. He will then produce a part of this album. I produced the rest at my expense with the support of my family. I wrote and composed all the tracks of this album. I wanted to share my idea of reggae. A reggae a little atypical, influenced by many different and authentic genres.
It remains for me to invite you to discover this album, entitled "The Sound of my Soul".

According to the latest report from Check Point, IoT attacks have more than doubled in the last two months, hitting almost half of the global organizations.
Check Point publishes monthly lists including Most Wanted Malware, Most Wanted Mobile Malware, and Most Exploited Vulnerabilities, all coming from Check Point's ThreatCloud database, analyzing more than 250 million addresses, over 11 million malware signatures, and more than 5.5 million infected websites.
According to the report, three IoT vulnerabilities managed to sneak their way into top 10 Most Exploited Vulnerabilities, including MVPower DVR router Remote Code Execution, D_Link DSL-2750B router Remote Command Execution, and Dasan GPON router Authentication Bypass.
What makes the report even more serious is the fact that 45 percent of worldwide organizations were hit with these vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities all allow attackers to execute malicious code and get remote access to targeted devices. This is a quite a worrisome statistics considering that in May and June, the percentage was at 21 and 35 percent, respectively.
"IoT vulnerabilities in particular are often 'the path of least resistance,' as once one device is compromised it can be straightforward to infiltrate further connected devices," said Maya Horowitz, Threat Intelligence Group Manager at Check Point. She also added that it is vital that organizations apply patches to known vulnerabilities in order to stop the noticed rise in IoT attacks.
While these three vulnerabilities are on the rise, cryptomining malware is still higher in the list, with Coinhive holding the first place, Cryptoloot following closely and Dorkbot holding a strong third place.
Cryptomining malware, as well as IoT security, have become big issues in network security and with the rise of connected devices, and with the cryptocurrency still holding, there won't be a sign of weakening any time soon.
