"Good news from Austria. 'In health negotiations, the FPÖ insists on a repeal of smoking bans. "
Strache einigt sich mit Kurz
Koalitions-Deal: Aus für Rauchverbot
In den Gesundheitsverhandlungen beharrt FPÖ auf Rücknahme des Rauchverbots.
Austria's far-right looks set to be part of the country's next government, with polls showing it on course to hold the balance of power ahead of elections this weekend.
The last time the Freedom Party (FPÖ) entered government in the year 2000 the EU's other member states imposed diplomatic sanctions on Austria in the hope of forcing the extremists out of power.
Now, polling in second place at around 25 per cent of the vote, the party is confident of returning to power as a kingmaker, and may be on the brink of matching its strongest showing ever.
The leader of the Austrian Freedom Party is Heinz-Christian Strache:
Heinz-Christian Strache (born 12 June 1969) is an Austrian right-wing politician, a member of parliament and former member of the Vienna city council, who has been Chairman of the Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ) since 2005. He is described as "the most experienced figure in frontline Austrian politics" and is credited with softening his party's image and professionalising it.
It seems that Strache did a deal with the current Austrian President, Alexander Van der Bellen. Die Tag Presse (Google translated):
Observers expected lengthy coalition negotiations, but now a surprising turn is emerging. Alexander van der Bellen may have started the new government early next week. This was leaked by the FPÖ and ÖVP after a meeting with the head of state.
After both parties recently agreed to lift the smoking ban in the restaurant again, invited the Federal President Sebastian Kurz and Heinz-Christian Strache to an urgent smoking break in the Hofburg.
There he expressed the desire to complete the government program as far as possible "over the weekend". That could not be so difficult, so Van der Bellen, because the attitude to the smoking ban is anyway the only difference in the party programs…
The first critical reactions to Van der Bellens Schwenk were not long in coming. The opposition parties felt that the Federal President was trampling on non-smoker protection. The union pointed to the serious health consequences of tobacco use.
Alexander Van der Bellen; born 18 January 1944) is an Austrian politician and economist who is the 12th and current President of Austria since 26 January 2017.
A member of the noble Russian Van der Bellen family of Dutch ancestry, he was born in Austria to aristocratic Russian and Estonian parents who were refugees from Stalinism, and became a naturalised Austrian citizen together with his parents in 1958. He was a professor of economics at the University of Vienna before he entered national politics. He served as a member of the Austrian National Council representing the Austrian Green Party from 1994 to 2012 and was both leader of the parliamentary faction and leader of his party from 1997 to 2008. He ran as a nominally independent candidate supported by the Green Party in the 2016 presidential election, and finished second out of six in the first round before winning the second round against Norbert Hofer, a member of the Freedom Party of Austria.
Sebastian Kurz (born 27 August 1986) is an Austrian politician and chairman of the Austrian People's Party (ÖVP). Since 2014 he is Austria's minister for Europe, Integration and Foreign Affairs.
Austria doesn't have much in the way of a smoking ban as yet, and a much tighter one was due to come into force in 2018:
Austria's governing parties have agreed that a general ban on smoking in cafes and restaurants will not be imposed until May 2018.
The SPÖ and ÖVP announced at a press conference that a draft law will be sent for expert review on Friday.
The law proposes a bonus for cafes and restaurants which voluntarily ban smoking before the May 2018 deadline – the value of which will be related to previous costs in setting up smoking and non-smoking areas.
Previously, Economics Minister Reinhold Mitterlehner (ÖVP) said the ban would come into force in summer 2015, but after much haggling the parties seem to have reached a compromise which gives businesses more time to adjust.
"The new smoking ban will be a historic contribution to improving people's health," Health Minister Sabine Oberhauser said on Friday.
"We have at last joined Europe in terms of protecting non-smokers," she added.
According to a report in the Wiener Zeitung newspaper the general smoking ban will include e-cigarettes, which at present do not fall under the tobacco law and will therefore require a special paragraph.
From my readings this morning, it actually seems like several parties have done already done a deal to repeal the smoking ban that was due to come into force in 2018.
If so, it will be something of a first: the first time any political party anywhere has made the repeal of smoking bans a pivotal part of its platform. In the UK, under Nigel Farage, UKIP's manifesto included a relaxation of the smoking ban to allow smoking rooms, but this was promptly dropped when he stepped down as leader.
Also, this looks like it will be an unexpected reversal of the fortunes of all-conquering Tobacco Control, and perhaps a straw in the wind for other political parties to court the smoker vote.
I brought all this to the attention of Brigitte in the Smoky Drinky Bar last night, and she was delighted at the development, and said she'd see if she could listen to an Austrian TV debate that is being held, and report on what was said.

CUNY union plans strike authorization vote
CUNY's faculty and staff union plans to hold a strike authorization vote, its president told members in an email Thursday night.
"A strike authorization vote will give the union the power to use labor's strongest weapon if, after everything else is tried, we cannot achieve a fair solution any other way," Professional Staff Congress president Barbara Bowen wrote.
PSC's approximately 27,000 members have worked without a contract since October of 2010.
University chancellor James Milliken has repeatedly called settling a new contract his "highest priority." But negotiating a new contract will require the agreement of not only the union and the university but also the state, which funds the largest part of CUNY's budget, and the city as well.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo has said it's "up to CUNY ... to pay the salaries from their budget."
A spokeswoman for Mayor Bill de Blasio, Amy Spitalnick, has previously said City Hall "trust[s] that both sides" will reach a resolution.
Bowen said the vote, which the union will discuss at a Nov. 19 meeting and hold in several months "is not a vote to strike."
"It is a vote to authorize the union's Executive Council to call a strike if necessary," she wrote. "But given CUNY management's continued failure to secure State funding and put an economic offer on the table, we cannot rule out being prepared for a strike."
Earlier this month, the PSC protested outside of Milliken's apartment as part of a "systematic escalation of pressure" planned through November.
"Our goal is to achieve a contract worthy of our work and supportive of our students' education; it isn't our goal to strike," Bowen wrote. "Throughout the coming weeks and months, the PSC leadership will continue to work aggressively on every front to achieve a good contract. ... The other PSC officers and I will continue direct advocacy with the Governor's and Mayor's Offices, and will strengthen our growing support among labor and community allies."

Credit.com receives compensation for the financial products and services advertised on this site if our users apply for and sign up for any of them.
Hello, Reader!
Thanks for checking out Credit.com. We hope you find the site and the journalism we produce useful. We wanted to take some time to tell you a bit about ourselves.
Our People
The Credit.com editorial team is staffed by a team of editors and reporters, each with many years of financial reporting experience. We've worked for places like the New York Times, American Banker, Frontline, TheStreet.com, Business Insider, ABC News, NBC News, CNBC and many others. We also employ a few freelancers and more than 50 contributors (these are typically subject matter experts from the worlds of finance, academia, politics, business and elsewhere).
Our Reporting
We take great pains to ensure that the articles, video and graphics you see on Credit.com are thoroughly reported and fact-checked. Each story is read by two separate editors, and we adhere to the highest editorial standards. We're not perfect, however, and if you see something that you think is wrong, please email us at editorial team [at] credit [dot] com,
The Credit.com editorial team is committed to providing our readers and viewers with sound, well-reported and understandable information designed to inform and empower. We won't tell you what to do. We will, however, do our best to explain the consequences of various actions, thereby arming you with the information you need to make decisions that are in your best interests. We also write about things relating to money and finance we think are interesting and want to share.
In addition to appearing on Credit.com, our articles are syndicated to dozens of other news sites. We have more than 100 partners, including MSN, ABC News, CBS News, Yahoo, Marketwatch, Scripps, Money Magazine and many others. This network operates similarly to the Associated Press or Reuters, except we focus almost exclusively on issues relating to personal finance. These are not advertorial or paid placements, rather we provide these articles to our partners in most cases for free. These relationships create more awareness of Credit.com in general and they result in more traffic to us as well.
Our Business Model
Credit.com's journalism is largely supported by an e-commerce business model. Rather than rely on revenue from display ad impressions, Credit.com maintains a financial marketplace separate from its editorial pages. When someone navigates to those pages, and applies for a credit card, for example, Credit.com will get paid what is essentially a finder's fee if that person ends up getting the card. That doesn't mean, however, that our editorial decisions are informed by the products available in our marketplace. The editorial team chooses what to write about and how to write about it independently of the decisions and priorities of the business side of the company. In fact, we maintain a strict and important firewall between the editorial and business departments. Our mission as journalists is to serve the reader, not the advertiser. In that sense, we are no different from any other news organization that is supported by ad revenue.
Visitors to Credit.com are also able to register for a free Credit.com account, which gives them access to a tool called The Credit Report Card. This tool provides users with two free credit scores and a breakdown of the information in their Experian credit report, updated twice monthly. Again, this tool is entirely free, and we mention that frequently in our articles, because we think that it's a good thing for users to have access to data like this. Separate from its educational value, there is also a business angle to the Credit Report Card. Registered users can be matched with products and services for which they are most likely to qualify. In other words, if you register and you find that your credit is less than stellar, Credit.com won't recommend a high-end platinum credit card that requires an excellent credit score You'd likely get rejected, and that's no good for you or Credit.com. You'd be no closer to getting a product you need, there'd be a wasted inquiry on your credit report, and Credit.com wouldn't get paid. These are essentially what are commonly referred to as "targeted ads" in the world of the Internet. Despite all of this, however, even if you never apply for any product, the Credit Report Card will remain free, and none of this will impact how the editorial team reports on credit and credit scores.
Your Stories
Lastly, much of what we do is informed by our own experiences as well as the experiences of our readers. We want to tell your stories if you're interested in sharing them. Please email us at story ideas [at] credit [dot] com with ideas or visit us on Facebook or Twitter.
Thanks for stopping by.

How a Divorce and Relationship coach can help you.
Why might you need coach?
- "I don't know if I should get a divorce or not; I'm at my wits end and unsure of where our relationship is going?" – explore all the options with your coach.
- "I want my marriage to work but my partner has checked out, and won't explore couples therapy with me" – explore one on one coaching yourself and lets see if we can put some strategies and tools in place to help YOU improve your relationship at home.
- "I not sure I can financially support myself or my children on my own" – explore with your coach your goals and dreams for your future success, if you were to become a single parent. This can include career coaching within sessions with your coach.
- "What kind of work or job should I consider as a newly single parent?"- Explore some career coaching with your coach for getting ready to re-enter the work force.
- "I deserve a better life, we can't communicate any more, I just don't know what to do!" – Work on improving communication between you and your partner with some communication coaching you can put in place yourself. If just one of you learns improved communication skills it often shows up for the other. Be the better person and you will get the results you desire. Let your coach show you how!
- "This whole divorce process is overwhelming and I'm not sure where to start first, or even who I should seek advice from!"– let your coach take away the overwhelm and get you focusing on what you need from your lawyer or mediator and help you gain clarity.
- "My friends and family are a great support but they just don't understand my needs right now and I am fearful of leaning on them too much!" – As a support coach I can be your sounding board to help you cope better with the emotions involved, allow you to maintain and deepen your friendships, avoiding pushing them away.
- "I am worried about my children and how this will affect them" – I can give you the tools and help you script those hard conversations, so you can be the best parent you can be, in helping your children deal with what's to come.
- "What next? ….. How am I going to be a good parent and work and run a household on my own?" – build your resilience and self-confidence with your coach, so you can move forward with your family, career goals, new relationships. Be excited about rebuilding your life with a new and exciting future, and a happier YOU.
- "My ex has a new partner!… how do I handle this and what do we tell the kids?" – your coach can walk you through this challenging process so you do what is right when it comes to your children.
Those who work with a divorce/relationship coach often experience:
- Greater confidence and the ability to make better decisions for their own future and the future of their children and family as a whole
- Become a better parent and develop better communication skills and improved relationships with their partner, their children, extended families, and experts you may need in the process. ie lawyers/mediators etc.
- Are much better equipped for the challenge of single parenting and/or co-parenting.
- Are able to focus on their future and moving more serenely into the next phase of their life, together or apart, but with increased hope and joyful anticipation of 'What next?' …Rather than fear of the future. Working with a coach allows you to put plans in place to forward focus and think more positively about your future together or apart.
- Putting in place budgets, parenting plans, separation agreements, with your coach or other experts to make your future less stressful and more cohesive.
- Lessen your stress and overwhelm by helping you with exercises and techniques to keep your stress levels lowered as much as possible in this process and continuously looking at your overall mindset and wellbeing.
- Become more positive about the future and where life can take you as a single person, in a new relationship or as a couple still co parenting a family no matter what.
- My goal as your coach is to get you to explore ALL the options before making those big decisions and then help you structure your goals and plans carefully.
As a coach I do not advocate divorce, as such, but I can support you through the process of separation and divorce, or help rebuild your romantic relationship – how great is it to know that there is an expert like me available to help you through the rough spots in your separation or relationship and explore it from all angles. I will even explore with you how you can rekindle the marriage/partnership to try and make it work, if this is something you feel you want to focus on first, by showing you how to have those tough conversations and refill each others love tanks, or to just be able to communicate better whilst separating, especially if children are involved.
I can, where needed, refer you to my vast array of experts and help you prepare for those appointments/meetings. In doing so, I will be saving you money and time and emotional angst. All my expert referrals I have personally meet and interviewed and feel confident that their field of expertise will be precisely what you need for your individual situation.
I will help you to show up for the process of divorce or separation, by being the best you can possibly be during the entire process, from start to finish. I am not a lawyer nor qualified to give legal advice or direction. What I am, is qualified and trained to give practical guidance and support as you go through the separation process. In many instances I will work alongside your legal team, by referring to them in respect of anything that calls for professional consideration outside my field of expertise or experience, I am collaboratively trained to work alongside your lawyer and prepare you for mediation if needs be. I can add real value to the process that is dissolution of marriage. Commitment to my clients and the outcome they are seeking, many of whom are in not dissimilar situations at the end of the day. That said while no two cases are the same, there is often commonality in relation to the frequent interpersonal and practical day to day challenges that come up, which invariably call for a calm head and a common sense approach – attributes that in my experience are unsurprisingly lost or suspended temporarily when couples are in the midst of a painful separation. It's my job as your divorce coach to keep you level headed and making the best decisions possible for you and your families future. I will show you how to let the small stuff go, how to improve communications with your ex-spouse and lawyers, and how to have the most amicable separation / divorce possible.
Divorce coaching is a flexible, goal oriented process designed to support, motivate and guide you through it all based on your particular needs, interests and concerns. Divorce coaching can help you make the best possible decisions for your future and your child(ren's) future too. As a divorce coach I help you deal with the emotional overwhelm and the high levels of stress experienced at this time of intense change. Focusing on solutions and goal setting will help you work towards a more optimistic future where your hopes and desires are realised.
We won't dwell on the past. We will focus the attention on building your resiliency and prepare you for a brighter future that you can begin to look forward to. Regain your Independence and Self-esteem! Book a session to find out how!
"Whatever we expect to experience is what we actually experience. So let's make it positive!"

It was a stupid thought. That he was going to have oats in his hair, maybe stuck to the sweat on his face. He inhaled, savoring the sweet essence of grain mixed with the wet hay aroma of burlap. He loved that smell, like a clean barn at feeding time. Maybe it wouldn't hurt to just close his eyes and breathe deep again, let his mind take him away, to lose himself in the rhythm of running his brush over Barranca's flanks, smelling the scent of saddle leather lingering on his back.
It wasn't that easy to stay there, though. He sucked in again, fighting to pull the air through the cloying weave of the sack. It had rained earlier, when it was still dark. He'd heard it tapping on the ground outside, tentatively at first, then pounding like a stampede rushing around him. Maybe that was why the air felt like it had already been breathed, all warm and wet. Or maybe he really had already breathed it, sucked the life right out of it. He pulled the air in harder, fighting the impulse to struggle.
A haze had hovered over the ground, like steam from a horse's back on a cold morning, as he'd climbed the steps just minutes ago. He'd squinted against the emerging sun then, but now all he could see of it were sprinkles of light that pushed their way through the dark mesh, like stars in a reddened sky. He darted his eyes, searching for a tear in the fabric, something he could actually see through. Remembered Murdoch, standing straight, jostled by the jubilant crowd, like an oak before the felling blow. Teresa, hiding her face in Scott's chest. And Scott, holding her up, looking at him. He squeezed his eyes closed, fearing he just might find that hole after all.
The wooden platform shook beneath him, another person, heavier than the rest, climbing the stairs, thumping toward him. Hands on his shoulders nudged him to his right, forcing him to take a stumbling step. He sucked in again, but the sack made it hard to breathe. He tried to concentrate, think of riding Barranca, the power and rhythm of his stride, the wind rushing at his face, how easy it was to breathe then. Something rough snugged along his neck, something hard rubbed against one ear. He breathed hard and fast, tried not to let it show, not to sway. Thought of galloping to the crest overlooking Lancer, to that place where he'd first seen the place he'd call home. He'd be home soon. The voices quieted. A single bird chirped somewhere.
A thunk.
Beneath his boots he could feel only air.

On January 1, 2019, the Chinese Supreme People's Court (SPC) inaugurated its Intellectual Property (IP) tribunal located in Beijing, which becomes the top judicial authority for patent cases as well as other highly technical IP cases. This represents a big leap forward in Chinese court litigation practice, and highlights China's willingness to harmonise its IP protection system with the rest of the world.
In particular, according to provisions in the Regulations for the IP tribunal promulgated by the SPC on December 27, 2018, the IP tribunal shall hear all appeals against first instance civil judgments or rulings made by the Higher People's Court, IP court or Intermediate People's Court in cases concerning invention patents, utility model patents, new plant varieties, layout design of integrated circuits, know-hows, computer programs and anti-trust. The IP tribunal shall also hear appeals against first instance administrative judgments related to the above cases, and in addition to design patents. A transitional period has also been set meaning that, for all first instance judgements decided before January 1 2019, their appeals will continue to be handled by existing tiers of courts. The IP tribunal at the SPC only hears appeals against first instance judgments that are newly decided after January 1 2019.
The IP tribunal currently has six court rooms which are mainly for appeal cases related to patents. There is also a technical investigation department formed by technical investigators who can provide support to judges to better understand some of the technical points raised in court cases.
With the setup of the IP tribunal at the SPC, the court hierarchy for patent litigations in China is effectively simplified. Instead of the conventional structure of basic or middle courts making first instance judgements and provincial-level high courts making second, final instance judgements, the SPC now takes high courts' roles in making the second instance judgements. Deputy Chief Justice Luo Dongchuan of the IP tribunal said, in a recent news release, that the move will "help prevent inconsistency of legal application and improve the quality and efficiency of trials". The IP tribunal is also the first among all areas of law in China in which an attempt has been made by the SPC to consolidate second instance judgements.
It should be noted that litigation related to infringements on registered designs (which are also a type of patents in China) and trademarks in China do not benefit from this new arrangement. According to Luo, "cases related to high-tech, and cases involving electronics, machinery, and artificial intelligence are more closely linked to innovations, and the standard of judgement needs to be unified. At the same time, China has nearly 200,000 intellectual property court cases each year. A large number of online infringement and trademark infringement cases do not possess a strong technical nature and do not necessarily need to be promoted to the Supreme Court level." Litigation related to infringements on registered designs and trademarks will continue to be dealt by civil courts.
The establishment of this new IP tribunal is a further step by China towards the reform of its litigation system. We previously wrote about the implementation of IP courts in three major cities in China (click here to view) for hearing first instance IP trials starting in 2014, but the question left at that time was how to ensure the quality of second instance judgements given that the second instance judgements were still handled by over 30 provincial-level high courts spread from the western to eastern China, and across highly disparate regions. This often leads to a significant difference in trial time-scales among the provincial high-courts, and even more problematically, can lead to local protectionisms.
It is partly as a result of the subjective assessment required for technical contents (e.g. inventive step in patent prosecution, and doctrine of equivalent in patent infringement) that we see this difference in trial time-scales.
The civil law system in China also lacks the precedent principle, leaving a huge amount of room for courts to interpret statute. With the IP tribunal at the SPC serving as the final judicial authority for patent cases, more uniformity of decision making and predictability of outcomes can be expected, which brings the Chinese court system in the IP aspect more in line with common law countries such as the USA and the UK. In addition, although China is in theory adopting a bifurcated system for patent infringement and patent right confirmation, the setup of IP tribunal at the SPC level seems to have ironed out such bifurcation from a technical point of view by centralizing courts for the appeals. It is also interesting to observe that in this way, reforming of the legal systems from the judicial level overtakes that from the legislation level.
Any type of reform leaves questions unanswered, and there is no exception with the IP tribunal. Conventionally, the SPC plays an important role of accepting petitions of retrial on the grounds of second instance judgements or orders being erroneously decided. However, if the SPC now itself becomes the trial unit for second instance judgements then which authority is capable of further correcting trial errors made by the IP tribunal? Another concern is that with the centralization of trial works at the SPC, will the trial speed and efficiency remain unaffected? Without a specific court system for lower value claims such as seen in the UK, people may wonder if it is really a good use of resources for the SPC to handle all appeal cases irrespective of the technological complexity, or the damages sought by the parties. The general public therefore will be expecting more judicial opinions and regulations from the SPC to close these loopholes.

"My parents gave me an implant when I was fourteen, something our parish co-sponsored. Stimulated religious feelings and suppressed sex drive. You know, I've never even watched porn until I got married."
I put my hand on his arm. I reasoned that this was what I would like to have done, were I not on Adfectine. But the only thing I've felt was the texture of his clothes, and it was slightly irritating to the touch.
"I've heard these things were illegal over in Europe." I tried to sound supportive. "Parents can't implant their children without going through three layers of bureaucracy to prove valid medical reasons."
"Yes, over there, but here, it's every man's God given right, to medicate away any problems with their children. Unless you live in California, but you know what they say about California. Bleeding heart liberals, why don't they move to Europe if they love it so much."

Honiton Petanque had a double header when they entertained both Plymouth and the other Brickfields Sports-based team, Mayflower.
With the Plymouth sides coming to East Devon sitting first and second in the table it made for potentially, a tough day of action for the home side, but Honiton rose to the occasion to win both matches, taking maximum points.
The brace of wins sees Honiton up to third in the league and they now have 12 points, the same as second-placed Ottery St Mary.
Plymouth drop from first to fourth while Mayflower now top the table by one point over the East Devon sides.
In terms of the actual petanque action, Honiton began by taking on a Mayflower outfit in their first season in the league.
It was a close contest throughout and the match ended with just two points between the teams with Honiton on the 'right side' of a 61-59 score line.
After the first round of triples the match stood at one apiece in two tight games, and Honiton fell 2-1 behind after the first game of the doubles round, losing by one point.
However, the second home pair squeaked home by a single point and the third pair sealed an overall 3-2 success with a good performance in another tough game.
Honiton tweaked personnel for the second game, one that was always considered to be the 'tougher' of the two but the home side proved too strong for the opposition, recording an emphatic 4-1 success.
The visitors did not cope well with the Mountbatten Park terrain and quickly found themselves 2-0 down after round one of the triples.
The doubles round followed a similar pattern with the exception of the last pairing where a long hard fought game went in favour of Plymouth to give them some consolation.
This was two excellent team performances, with contributions from all Honiton players, against two very good sides and the club has now built on a solid start to the season.
Another home match is next, this time against local rivals Ottery St Mary and there will be more than bragging rights on offer for both clubs.
The winners will go top of the league as the match will be played ahead of the other fixtures.

Controversial Chemical Topics Headline Helsinki Chemical Forum
Industry Insight Jun 25, 2014
The road to REACH compliance is proving to be a rocky one, fraught with challenges on all sides. Industry finds the regulation difficult to understand and comply with, while believing it will create trade barriers. Activist organizations think that the standard is not strict enough and allows unacceptable research practices and materials into the European Union (EU). Regardless of the clamour, the European Chemicals Association (ECHA) has forged ahead with the regulation's roll-out, offering numerous opportunities to meet with ECHA staff concerning compliance, and tackling controversial topics each year during the annual Helsinki Chemical Forum (HCF) 2014 meeting.

Hastings residents deemed "unhappy" by nationwide survey
Published on by Saffron Alexander (author)
The small city received the lowest mark of 7.13, only losing out to neighbouring city, Worthing, by 0.7.
The results of the survey come shortly after conservative MP, Amber Rudd told Bloomsberg: "Hastings used to be this beautiful, refined seaside place. It has to reinvent itself, like lots of seaside towns."
The comment has spark anger from Hastings residents, with Labour PPC, Sarah Owen retaliating with: "If she wasn't paid to actually represent Hastings & Rye, her comments would be laughable. It is a sorry situation that we have a Conservative MP who continues to talk down the town, at a time when we need to be attracting businesses and investment to the area."
In response to both Rudd's comments and the results from the survey, Hastings residents have spoken out against both, stating they love living in the small town.
Homeowner, and former professional boxer, Paul Huggin said: "I've lived here all my life, there is a lot going on in Hastings, but I've been around to other counties and I can honestly say, through my own experiences, that I live in the best town in the country. And I live in the best country in the world."
When asked about the negative press Hastings has received following Rudd's comments, Mr Huggin added: "we are growing, you see it all the time. I'm very happy with Hastings. 1066 country is the start of the western civilisation!"
Both Amber Rudd and Sarah Owen were unavailable for comment.

Following the early morning reports immediately following a crash in testing for Marussia test driver Maria De Villota, there is now much better news.
The 32-year-old Spaniard is not out of the woods just yet with medical assessments continuing but things are hopefully now sounding a lot more positive.
In a freak accident after her first installation runs of the morning, her Marussia F1 car appeared to inexplicably accelerate and crashed into the back of the Marussia team truck which transports the cars around Europe.
Unfortunately the tailgate had apparently been lowered at the time and De Villota's helmet hit this on impact.
Reports suggest that she was unconscious for around 15 to 20 minutes, while she was treated by paramedics.
East of England Ambulance Service Spokesman Gary Sanderson told the media following the crash: 'A woman has sustained life-threatening injuries and following treatment at the scene by paramedics, she has been taken to Addenbrooke's Hospital for further care.'
By the time she arrived at hospital she was conscious and in a stable condition.
Throughout the afternoon medical examinations have continued and Marussia have released an updated statement regarding her condition.
?Further to the accident involving the Marussia F1 Team?s Test Driver Maria De Villota this morning, the team can confirm that Maria was transferred by ambulance from Duxford Airfield, where the accident happened, to Addenbrooke?s Hospital in Cambridge.' the statement on marussiaf1team.com said.
?Since Maria?s arrival at the hospital at approximately 10.45hrs this morning, she has been receiving the best medical attention possible at the hospital, which is the region?s major trauma centre. Maria is conscious and medical assessments are ongoing. The team will await the outcome of these assessments before providing further comment.
?The team?s first priority at this time is Maria and her family.?
De Villota conscious and stable
Following the early morning reports immediately following a crash in testing for Marussia test driver Maria De Villota, there is now much better news.

Yesterday we celebrated being married for twelve years!
We spent a lovely evening at the Salt Lake Temple doing sealings and then ate some yummy dinner together.
A few weeks ago Olivia summed it all up for us. She looked at us both and said, "Mom, I'm so glad Dad married you!"
I was feeling pretty good that she recognized what a blessing I was to Ryan... and I started to agree when she spoke again after a brief pause....
"If he hadn't you would be sad and weeping somewhere because you'd be all alone."
Thanks, Ry, for preventing me from being sad and weepy all by myself. I love being married to you! We make a great team.

Coyotes Top 10 Prospects

2. Enver Lisin, RW

Team Needs
As the Phoenix Coyotes begin to shape their roster for the 2006-07 campaign, they'll most likely be headed in a direction that brings more cohesiveness and harmony to their roster. Last season's move to bring in veteran leaders to surround a younger nucleus was pretty much a wash.
The team continued to make many moves to get younger, as well as add skill and ability to their club during the 2005-06 season. During this offseason, most notably the free agent period, Phoenix has some room to maneuver under the salary cap. Expect the Coyotes to add additional help up front, while their young core of defensemen continue to develop. Goaltending shouldn't be a problem, as the tandem of Curtis Joseph and David LeNeveu should prove to be worthy.
More stability will be needed at the NHL level as their farm system gets stronger. As the lifeblood of any franchise, the prospect core still needs time to develop and grow as a unit. As they continue to add talent, it will take time for some time for the players to grow because only a few may prove near ready to advance.
Organizational Strengths
The Coyotes are not comfortable at any position right now, but if there were one aspect of strength, it would have to be the cache of young mobile and puck moving blueliners. Phoenix is stocked on the blue line up and down the depth charts. Adding Keith Yandle (2005 draft), Zbynek Michalek (trade with Minnesota) and Dennis Seidenberg (trade with Philadelphia) last year only increased the young group's potency.
Although they have the likes of Derek Morris, Paul Mara, Keith Ballard, Michalek and Seidenberg playing full time in Phoenix, they still have a lot potential in Matt Jones, Logan Stephenson, Matt Spiller and Yandle, who will more than likely start the season with San Antonio, the top minor league affiliate.
Organization Weaknesses
The Coyotes are still looking to stock their shelf when it comes to prospective forwards. Having added such players as Bill Thomas (free agent), Yanick Lehoux (trade with Los Angeles), and Joel Perrault (trade with Anaheim), they will definitely help their offensively challenged farm team. However, none of them are close to seeing steady action in Phoenix with the big club.
After that, there is a dramatic drop off in skill and ability, as the franchise has seen an overabundance in third or fourth line forwards within its system. Some of the more intriguing prospects remain outside their system, currently developing in junior, college or over in Europe.
With LeNeveu set to make his transition to full time with the parent club this upcoming season, the Coyotes attempted to add depth at the goalie position by drafting Pier-Olivier Pelletier during the 2005 draft and traded Calgary for Philippe Sauve. However, the Coyotes haven't decided whether they'll sign former UNH goalie Jeff Pietrasiak. Looking ahead to the 2006-07 season, if LeNeveu stays up with the big club, the Coyotes wouldn't have a goalie prospect in their system. The jury is not out on Pietrasiak just yet, but signing him to a minor league contract may be a wise alternative option.
Draft Tendencies
While the league has again embraced speed, quickness and agility over size and strength, the Coyotes have spent their last three first round picks trying to find a balance between the two. They have selected Jakub Koreis (2002), Blake Wheeler (2004) and Martin Hanzal (2005), who all stand above six feet, are good skaters and each who have a good skill set. Phoenix did not have a first round pick during the 2003 draft.
The Coyotes are becoming very competent in the middle to later rounds, something many teams seem to struggle with every year. With the exception of a few draft picks, the 2004 draft should serve as a model of how the Coyotes should carry themselves past the second round.
Phoenix continues to draft out of North American over Europe. Last year, four of their six picks were from the Northeastern region of America and Canada respectfully. The Coyotes drafted at least one player out of the QMJHL for the second straight year, something they have neglected to since the 2000 draft when they selected Ramzi Abid with the 85th overall pick.
They have neglected the OHL in North America and the Scandinavian region in Europe for the third straight year. Though they have taken a handful of prospects over the last few years out of Europe, the team scouting presence across the pond is small, something they are looking to change.

Yet another incredibly talented potter based in Scotland, Nancy Fuller is Taiwanese by birth but raised here in Scotland. Having discovered wood-fired ceramics in Taiwan, Nancy's interest in the beauty of the wood-firing process has heavily shaped her work to date.
During a year-long residency at the Shigaraki Ceramic Cultural Park in Japan, Nancy studied with master potter Suzuki Shigeji, who taught her anagama firing. All Nancy's pots are fired in her anagama which she designed and built herself thanks to the financial support of the Scottish Arts Council.

The Regroup is usually reserved for information we already know. From the previous week's content here on The Coaches Site to video breakdowns of tactics, systems, and trends, it's all stuff that's come and gone, both literally and figuratively.
Well, sometimes the best insight comes from asking the right questions first, and then doing your best to find the answer. And like a lot of coaches out there who have wrapped up their own seasons, I'm happy to switch to fan mode for the next two months, and I'm armed with questions I'd like answered.
I'm also not planning on getting up, so feel free to send sandwiches.
Note: I'm going to include each team's 5on5 Fenwick percentage from the regular season. Fenwick is the amount of unblocked shot attempts for vs unblocked shot attempts against. Info via naturalstattrick.

Eastern Conference
1. Tampa Bay Lightning vs Carolina Hurricanes

3. Pittsburgh Penguins vs New York Islanders
Two decently surprising seasons saw the New York Islanders soar above their expectations with new coach Barry Trotz at the helm while the Penguins finally showed some signs of aging for the first time since the Sid lottery.
Can Barry Trotz keep the defense-first Islanders focused against a playoff powerhouse?
Penguins FF% 50.36
Player to watch: Jake Guentzel
4. Toronto Maple Leafs vs Boston Bruins
With respect to the MacKinnon line in Colorado, the best line in hockey is Patrice Bergeron centering Brad Marchand and David Pastrnak, while the Maple Leafs have a couple individual players who might be considered among the best in the game.
Can the team game of the Boston Bruins overcome the raw skill of the Maple Leafs' Auston Matthews, John Tavares, and Mitch Marner?
Toronto FF% 48.83
Boston FF% 52.73

Three things to remember when you're feeling behind in life
Want to hear this post straight from me? Click the link above!
I was hanging out with some friends recently, eating pizza on the floor (you know, the usual), and commiserating over the ways that our lives haven't turned out as planned.
To give you a picture of what I mean, in this particular group, none of us are married, we don't have kids, and many of us still don't know where our careers are going. That isn't where any of us planned to end up. And we all, with spirited yet regretful enthusiasm, agreed that night that we feel behind because of it.
Despite the fact that several of us admitted to paddling the same boat, we still feel like we haven't kept up with "the norm".
It's made us doubt ourselves. We wonder where we went wrong, and what everyone else did right. "Everyone else" being the people who ended up where we wanted to. The people who, in our eyes, must have somehow pulled ahead of us, while we began trailing behind.
We're told by society, sometimes our parents, social media and the comparison to our peers that by certain checkpoints in life, we should have crossed particular steps off the list. And when we see ourselves not making it to that step by that time? We perceive a gap. A gap where we are the ones watching everyone else get smaller as they sprint ahead. And as the distance between us increases, so does our discouragement.
But after years of doubting myself, being tormented with questions like "why hasn't this happened for me?" and "what's wrong with me?", I've come to the conclusion that maybe, just maybe, there is no gap at all.
What if the gap is just a fabricated lie, made of unmet expectations, sewn together by the thread of comparison?
If we think about it, there's no real authority that dictates exactly where we should end up and by when. It's an imaginary perception we've created from not arriving where we planned, and comparing ourselves to someone else who did.
But the gap is just that. An imagined perception. It isn't real.
And I believe that it's time to forget about it once and for all. To stop emotionally cutting ourselves by comparing our story to someone else's. It's time to own our own stories for what they are, and what they have the potential to become.
But how do I keep myself grounded in this belief? Well, admittedly, it's never easy. We live in a culture where we are constantly reminded of what and where we are not.
But I've discovered a few thoughts that help to erase the gap on days when it feels immeasurably long, and I'd like to share them in hopes that they might help you too:
1. I can't be "behind" because I'm not on the same path.
To be behind, we'd all really have to be going the same way, with the same turns, obstacles and short-cuts. And I think we all know that just isn't true.
From day one our stories start out differently. Even if we go to the same schools, play on the same teams, and meet the same people, we all have different personalities, family situations, opportunities, and hardships that come our way.
It doesn't even make sense that we would or could arrive at the same place at the same time. We aren't where everyone else is because we weren't put on the same path from the start, often through no fault of our own. We are going our own way, maybe to the same destination, but maybe to somewhere different, and there is nothing wrong, or "behind", about that.
2. My experiences may be different, but they are not less valuable
We perceive that because we haven't checked the same boxes as someone else, that the boxes that we have checked aren't as valuable, or don't count. But that isn't fair to say, is it? That belief negates all that we've done in our lives, all that we've been through, and all the opportunities we've been given.
Those checkpoints, marriage, college, kids, career, whatever it is for you, aren't worth more than what you've experienced. Those are just a few of the millions of things you could happen in your lifetime, and we shouldn't act as if they carry more weight than others. Through your path and your story, you're learning lessons and absorbing life in ways those other people are not.
So when you're feeling like your life is "less" because it's different, stop and think for a moment…what have I learned and experienced, that the people I'm comparing myself to haven't?
3. The best stories come from those whose lives didn't go according to plan.
Think about some of the best stories you've heard. Whether its from family members, friends, CEOs and founders of companies, or celebrities. How often do you hear "My life went perfectly. Literally everything went exactly as I planned and I got everything I ever wanted when I wanted it?" Almost never. Instead we hear "And I fought for it. I failed a million times before I figured it out. I learned from what didn't go my way, and it made what I have now all the more sweet."
The best stories in life are those that are hard fought. That take persistence, and that take you on turns you never expected. And that's true of our lives as well. Our stories may feel frustrating and sluggish right now, but one day we may look back and realize these were just plot twists on the way to something greater than we imagined.
I share these reminders with you not because I have it all figured out.
I still have days where I sit on the floor and cry, with tears of "what happened" streaming down my face. But I want to share all of this with you because even though some days it's still difficult to see myself on my own journey instead of falling behind on someone else's, I know these things to be true.
I am on my own path. My experiences are valuable. And I am writing my own, unique story.
I am not behind.
And neither are you.

Got Active Kids? We Can Help!
Most kids (and their parents) do better with regular chiropractic adjustments. Babies and young children often only need to have a chiropractic wellness check-up every 6 months. Kids who are active in sports, ballet, gymnastics, martial arts, or horse-riding may need to be seen once a month to check their muscles and joints. Kids who are seeking athletic sponsorships and scholarships may need to be seen more often.
Children With Special Needs
Our chiropractors have experience providing chiropractic services for kids with the following special needs: autism spectrum, cerebral palsy, Bell's palsy, Erb's palsy, sensory processing disorder, visually impaired, Prader-Willi syndrome, congenital heart disorders (with displaced ribs), attention deficit, and developmental delays. We offer relief for children suffering from chronic earaches, and also help kids age 5 - 14 with bed wetting difficulties.
Improving How Well Your Body Functions
The doctors at Back In Action Chiropractors spend time helping patients by improving their body's framework. They carefully reposition the spine. They help the skeleton to become more symmetrical and balanced. This can help the body and its nervous system to perform better. Chiropractic can also improve core strength and flexibility.
Can Chiropractic Relieve Back Spasms?
Most people understand that getting a fever is the result of an infection, because a fever is a symptom of an infection. In the same way, back pain and muscle spasms are a symptom of a back problem, not the cause of a back problem. The underlying problem triggering the back pain is most likely caused by nerve irritation, a problem with a joint in the spine, or an issue with one of the discs in between the bones of the spine. So the muscle spasm is a symptom of a deeper problem that needs fixed. The doctors at our chiropractic office in Flagler Beach will first try to pinpoint the source of your back muscle spasms and will then try to fix the cause of the back pain. This natural approach can enable your back and spine to heal correctly.
Improving Sports Performance
Our chiropractors treat athletes, whether they play recreational or high school sports. Chiropractic can benefit athletes through better balance, core stability, and improved coordination. This can give athletes a competitive edge.

Itron: Q4 & Full Year 2015 Results
Die untenstehende Meldung ist eine Original-Meldung des Unternehmens. Sie ist nicht von der ECOreporter.de-Redaktion bearbeitet. Die presserechtliche Verantwortlichkeit liegt bei dem meldenden Unternehmen.
LIBERTY LAKE, Washington - Itron, Inc. (ITRI) announced financial results for its fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2015. Highlights include:
Quarterly and full year revenues of $490 million and $1.9 billion;
Quarterly and full year GAAP diluted earnings per share of 56 cents and 64 cents;
Quarterly and full year non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of 76 cents and $1.01;
Quarterly and full year adjusted EBITDA of $53 million or 11 percent, and $128 million or 7 percent.
"Itron's fourth quarter results reflect solid operating performance," said Philip Mezey, Itron's president and chief executive officer. "Highlights in the quarter included higher shipments of smart meters and modules, strong revenue growth in the Water segment, improved gross margin in Gas, robust bookings in the Electricity and Gas businesses and increased cash flow."
Mezey added, "Smart grid and smart city momentum is accelerating, creating more opportunity for Itron's innovative solutions for this industry. Our significant backlog growth, benefits from our restructuring and efficiency projects and our Itron OpenWay Riva™ next generation platform position us well for continued revenue growth and improved profitability in 2016."
Summary of Fourth Quarter Consolidated Financial Results
(All comparisons made are against the prior year period unless otherwise noted)
Total revenue for the quarter was $490 million compared with $510 million in 2014. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates unfavorably impacted revenue by approximately $38 million for the quarter. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, revenues increased $19 million, or 4 percent, driven primarily by the Water segment which grew 13 percent on a constant currency basis.
Gross Margin
Gross margin for the quarter increased to 31.7 percent compared with the prior year period margin of 30.3 percent. The improvement in gross margin was driven by decreased variable compensation and improved Gas gross margin.
GAAP Operating Income, Net Income, Earnings per Share
GAAP operating income improved to $35 million for the quarter compared with an operating loss of $49 million in 2014. Net income for the quarter was $21 million, or 56 cents per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $49 million, or $1.25 per share. The increases in operating income and net income for the quarter were driven primarily by a decrease of $52 million in restructuring charges and a decrease of $23 million in variable compensation due to a reduction in planned payout. The results also reflect improved gross margin performance in the Gas business. Tax expense was recognized in the quarter compared with a net tax benefit in the prior year period, largely due to improved income.
Non-GAAP Operating Income, Net Income, Earnings per Share
Non-GAAP operating income improved to $44 million for the quarter compared with $29 million. Non-GAAP net income for the quarter was $29 million, or 76 cents per diluted share, compared with $14 million, or 36 cents per diluted share. The increases in non-GAAP operating and net income for the quarter were driven primarily by lower operating expenses attributable to the reduced variable compensation and higher gross margin performance in the Gas business.
Free Cash Flow
Free cash flow was $43 million for the fourth quarter compared with $4 million in the prior year quarter. The increase over the prior year was driven by improved earnings and working capital.
Other Measures
Bookings in the quarter totaled $822 million. Total backlog was $1.55 billion and twelve month backlog was $833 million at year-end, an increase of 4 percent and 11.5 percent, respectively.
During the quarter, the company repurchased 88,266 shares of Itron common stock at an average price of $34.04 per share pursuant to Board authorization to repurchase up to $50 million of Itron common stock. As of Dec. 31, 2015, the company had repurchased 743,444 shares of Itron common stock at an average price of $33.63 per share since the inception of the plan in February 2015. This plan will conclude on Feb. 19, 2016.
Financial Guidance – Full Year 2016
Itron's guidance for the full year 2016 is as follows:
Revenue between $1.85 and $1.95 billion
Non-GAAP diluted EPS between $1.95 and $2.25
This guidance assumes a Euro to U.S. dollar average exchange rate of $1.10 in 2016, average shares outstanding of approximately 38 million for the year and a non-GAAP effective tax rate for the year of approximately 37 percent.

Ulver are a strange, unique band. Breaking out of the Norwegian Black Metal scene 23 years ago they chose to eschew their roots and explore other musical avenues. Since then they have never repeated themselves musically, evolving at every step. From the dark electronica of Perdition City through to the downbeat Shadows Of The Sun, from the ambitious Themes From The Marriage Of William Blake's Heaven And Hell to the orchestral grandure of Messe I.X-VI.X, Ulver have resolutely trodden their own dark path. A band who do what they want to without a care as to anyone else's opinion, this is what makes this band so special. Their musical bravery means this collective of musicians are true artists and if you look up the word eclectic in the dictionary I'm sure you would find a photograph of Ulver.
This album has it's roots in the band's last tour. Not wanting to repeat themselves from previous tours and having no new music to play, they bravely opted to play freeform jams every night. These jams were recorded, sifted through in Daniel O'Sullivan's home studio afterwards before being worked, reworked and pieced together by Anders Møller, Kristoffer Rygg and Tore Ylwizaker into the dozen songs that make up ATGCLVLSSCAP (the album's title is made up of the initial letters of the twelve star signs).
The album starts with a clamour of church bells, calling the faithful to worship no doubt. What follows is six seconds short of eighty minutes worth of avant guarde soundscapes, dark ambient noise and pure magic. The bells eventually cede to the swelling noise of the main section of England's Hidden, full of eerie effects that emerge from the layers of keyboards only to be subsumed again. This glorious sound bleeds seamlessly into the rythmic Glammer Hammer, with it's hauntingly familiar musical undertones; the basis for parts of this echo sections of Messe I.X-VI.X. The second half of this composition is immense as a huge barrage of drums propels the music forward before it collapses in on itself like a dying black hole, leaving us with the sound of gentle birdsong.
Many different styles of music can be heard as the album progresses. You can hear oriental idiosyncrasies influencing Moody Stix and the swirling middle eastern tones of Om Hanumate Namah. You can also hear subtle influences of other bands. There's the flavour of Floyd here, a hint of Hawkwind there; a touch of Krautrock pioneers Kraftwerk, a splash of Vangelis, a dash of Deep Purple (circa Made In Japan) in full unfettered flight, especially on Cromagnosis where the band really let rip in spectacular fashion. However these are just vague reference points as Ulver push their own musical boundaries almost to breaking point, surpassing what most other bands are capable of.
Each song takes us on a unique musical journey and as with much of Ulver's music the tracks that make up ATGCLVLSSCAP sound like the soundtrack to a film that is waiting to be made; and you know that film would be shot in grainy black and white and very disturbing. Every composition is unique which makes this a mightily hard album to pin down. The band seem to revel in this musical freedom, throwing off the restraints and sculpting masterpieces like the playful Dessert/Dawn and the mesmerising Gold Beach.
Most of ATGCLVLSSCAP is instrumental but there are a couple of tracks with vocals. Nowhere (Sweet Sixteen) is a haunting version of Catastrophe/Nowhere from Perdition City and Ecclesiastes contains spoken word sections from the book of the Bible of the same name (much of it in Norwegian) with a droning, choral backdrop and a mournful piano motif.
There is so much on offer across these dozen remarkable pieces of music that it's almost impossible to take it all in. Repeated listens will be essential in order to unravel the mysteries that lie beneath the surface. Peel away the layers and soak yourself in the dark ambiance and you will be rewarded. Be warned though, this is not easy listening or background music. Lack of concentration will see the album slide past and any hope of delving deeper will be lost. Like all of the best music this album challenges you, almost defying you to lose yourself within.
The album winds down with the eerie Solaris and as the final piece of music fades away you can only sit in awe at Ulver's achievement. Kristoffer Rygg wanted to try an experiment to get away from "a band as set in their ways as us". He and his band mates have succeeded spectacularly. Superbly produced this is an album of rare beauty. At turns both hauntingly fragile and monumentally heavy, if only all bands could be this brave, this free to break the shackles of convention. An early contender for album of the year.

It's a myth that setting up a podcast needs to be costly or expensive (of course it can be!) but podcasting on a budget is totally achievable. If you've been wondering, how much does it cost to run a podcast? It's a tricky question.
Now in its second year, PodCon 2 has become an annual date in our diary and we can't wait for this weekend's event.
If you're not already aware of PodCon 2 – get informed! Last year's event impressed us so much – the quality of panels and speakers got us so excited for the podcasting industry. That's why we decided to show our support to the event by becoming lead sponsors for this year's meet, which is expecting over 3,000+ attendees.
So you've come up with a fantastic podcast idea and you need some tips to get up, running and heard. Or perhaps you've already gained your good bunch of loving listeners, the ones that will be with you through the highs, the lows and the changes in your content, but you feel the right time has come to up your podcasting game.
One thing's for sure, a good vocal story requires good listening ears.
(Updated on June 2019) Spotify needs no introduction, it's been a decade since the audio giant launched in Sweden in 2008. Starting out as a music streaming site, the company has now opened its doors to all types of audio. In turn it's become the most famous digital audio content platform in the world with 159 million users worldwide and a reported 83 million paying subscribers in June 2018 (up from 57 million in June 2017).
(Updated on June 2019) Google has made a game-changing announcement for podcasters, unveiling its plans for Google Podcasts, a complete podcast ecosystem.
Google Podcasts – and its future updates – will offer podcasters the chance to potentially double their audience numbers by publishing across the myriad of Google platforms: Google Search Results, Google Podcasts App, Google Voice Assistant and last but definitely not least, Google Home Devices.
As probably every podcaster already knows, at the end of May, Apple communicated that they will soon require secure podcast feeds as part of publishing podcasts with them.

I'm a freelance artist, born in Greenwich and raised in the North East. I've always been a lover of most art, but mainly surrealism.
One of my greatest inspirations is Zdislaw Besinski, who carried on with his works with such passion despite the harshes that life had thrown at him.
I enjoy nothing more than escaping reality and creating works of my own, and often achieve this with all kinds of media including: Charcoal, Graphite, Various Pastels, Water Colours, Oils, Acrylics, Clay and anything else I may find useful.
Please feel free to contact me on here for: leaving feedback, critisism, general interest in my works, or even frienship/networking. Or email: email@example.com.

A private tenant was shocked when he returned home to find the locks to his rental property had been changed and his belongings removed.
The man, who was living at the property in The Crescent, Bridlington, with another tenant, was given just one week's notice to vacate.
The landlord, Fiddlers Investment Ltd, was warned by East Riding of Yorkshire Council that it had not followed correct eviction proceedings by serving just one week's notice and would be investigated for a criminal offence, unless they followed the correct steps.
But the company opted to ignore the warning and pressed ahead anyway.
After the resident refused to leave the property, which was a HMO, with such short notice, the landlord changed the locks and removed his belongings.
An East Riding of Yorkshire Council spokesman said Fiddlers' directors, Tracy Hollwarth and Barrie Craven, along with its regional manager, Sheridan Brown, refused to accept they had done anything wrong in the eviction, which happened in September 2016.
The company was charged with two offences of unlawful eviction, which the two directors and regional manager pleaded guilty to at a hearing at Beverley Magistrates Court last week.
Fiddlers Investment Ltd was ordered to pay £10,865.15, including a fine of £4,000 and costs of £6,865.
Chris Dunnachie, private sector housing and safety manager at East Riding of Yorkshire Council, commented: "The council has a duty to protect tenants to make sure they are safe from illegal evictions.
"Some landlords fail to accept that, despite being their property, each and every room or flat within that property is a person's home and they have no right of entry without the tenant's agreement, and must follow clear legal procedures to ensure their tenants are given appropriate notice to leave.
"We will deal with any landlord, letting agent or property company who does not abide by the law. It was disappointing that in this case, Fiddlers Investments Ltd chose not to take officer's advice."

Window treatments are an important feature of any home or building. They not only filter light but also serve as an eye-catching detail that can improve interior design. Here are five window treatment ideas that many Beltway Blinds customers loved last year, and that still promise to be en pointe this year.
- Floor-length draperies. Curtains that extend onto the floor by a few inches are currently the most stylish. Unlike draperies that fall short in length, they create a look that is tailored yet not too formal.
- Roman shades. This classic window treatment softens the look of any type of window. It is also available in a variety of fabrics and folds, including hobbled, plain fold and flat fold. We can also design Roman shades in a vertical format.
- Plantation shutters. Sturdy plantation shutters are more energy-efficient than other window covering options. They are available in a range of wood materials, making them a versatile choice for window treatments in Baltimore as they can be stained or painted to match different interiors.
- Combined coverings. Using a combination of drapes and shades is a common choice among many homeowners. Selecting two different fabric materials with complementing or contrasting patterns or hues has been popular as well.
- Motorized treatments. Convenience is a must for many homeowners. Motorized window treatments are gaining more popularity because of their ease of operation. With a remote to control shades and shutters, you can benefit from the beauty of the outdoors or enjoy privacy in an instant. You can even set them for automatic operation.
These are some of the treatments we loved last year, and we know you'll benefit from installing these treatments in your home in 2015 and beyond. Consult the experts at Beltway Blinds for the widest selection of window treatments Baltimore residents love. Just give us a call at (301) 982-5463 or fill out our contact form to request a design consultation.
