Q: Python - urlparse a link I want to add scheme in urls if not present.
import urlparse

p = urlparse.urlparse(url)
print p
netloc = p.netloc or p.path
path = p.path if p.netloc else ''
scheme = p.scheme or 'http'
p = urlparse.ParseResult(scheme, netloc, path, *p[3:])
url = p.geturl()
print url

The above code works great, in case when I dont have any port number. When port number is there, it show arbitary output. For eg:-
input go.com:8000/3/
output go.com://8000/3/

Same goes for localhost. What approach should I been following in this case?

A: if you have port number and dont have the url scheme your url must start with //. urlparse recognizes a netloc only if it is properly introduced by '//'. Otherwise the input is presumed to be a relative URL and thus to start with a path component.
check out the following code and observe the diffrence
1) In this first sample i have added // so that the parser will identify it as the netloc rather than the scheme and then comes the path.
p.urlparse('//go.com:8000/3/')
ParseResult(scheme='', netloc='go.com:8000', path='/3/', params='', query='', fragment='')

2) In this sample we dont have the scheme and dint specify the // and we dont have the port number so the entire url is considered as the path.
p.urlparse('go.com/3/')
ParseResult(scheme='', netloc='', path='go.com/3/', params='', query='', fragment='')

3)In this sample i did specify the port. we know that after the scheme we have ://, parser recognized before : as the scheme and after : as path.
p.urlparse('go.com:8000/3/')
ParseResult(scheme='go.com', netloc='', path='8000/3/', params='', query='', fragment='')

this is how the urlparse is parsing the url. for you to get the url scheme to work, check for :// if you dint find explicitly append // in the front of your url then the job will be done.
for more detail you can visit this url [https://docs.python.org/2/library/urlparse.html]

A: According to the docs you need to properly introduce netloc to be parsed correctly.
So try adding // at the beginning of the url if it's not an absolute path so like:
urlparse.urlparse('//go.com:8000/3')
ParseResult(scheme='', netloc='go.com:8000', path='/3', params='', query='', fragment='')

This way it correctly identifies each part of the url. Also please see the docs: https://docs.python.org/2/library/urlparse.html#urlparse.urlparse

How To Pay Off The IRS…Guaranteed!
When Does an IRS Guaranteed Installment Agreement Makes Sense for You?
Most wage-earners never have to worry about delinquent taxes. But most people are not just wage earners. In fact, according to one survey, over half of the workers in Michigan will be freelancers by 2017. Self-employment almost inevitably creates tax problems, so it's important to know how to deal with them. Even though the easiest way is not always the best way, an IRS guaranteed installment agreement is often the exception.
Many new freelancers and business owners fall behind on their taxes because they do not understand all the applicable rules. But ignorance of the law is no excuse, so the IRS still wants its money. Fortunately, it would rather have the money than punish you for not paying on time, and that's where an installment agreement comes in.
There are several different types of these agreements which we'll look at in detail. Up first is the IRS guaranteed installment agreement.
Unlike many other parts of the Tax Code, the qualifications for an IRS guaranteed installment agreement are relatively straightforward. These requirements are also set in stone, because the Service never budges on them.
The proposed payment plan pays off your entire debt in three years or before the statute of limitation expires, whichever comes first.
Pay on time, no matter what.
What are the Pros and Cons of an IRS Guaranteed Installment Agreement?
These plans are "guaranteed" because the IRS must accept your application and keep you in the program as long as you meet the aforementioned requirements. That assurance means that your stressful financial life is a little less stressful, and peace of mind is very valuable.
Moreover, since acceptance is guaranteed, the IRS does not ask eligibility questions. The Service also does not require you to return forms, like the comprehensive 9465 or the almost-as-lengthy 433-D. If you'd rather not have the IRS sniffing around your finances, or you do not have the time to fill out voluminous forms, a GIA is a good idea.
On the downside, no installment agreement cuts off penalties and interest. They continue to accrue until the balance is paid in full. Furthermore, installment agreement payments are not tax deductible. So, it might make more sense to borrow money and pay off the entire balance straightaway. That's especially true for home equity loans and others that offer tax-deductible interest.
If you think an IRS guaranteed installment agreement may be right for you, talk to a lawyer.

During the first decades of slot machines, they were only found in small shops and casinos. They were activated by a button or lever and used rotating mechanical reels to create winning combinations. While modern machines have microprocessors, the concept of slots has remained fairly unchanged. However, digital technology has made it possible for the game's theme to be altered, and new technology has also enabled more advanced bonus rounds.
The modern slot machine was developed in the late 1960s. The first fully electromechanical slot machine was manufactured by Bally. It was introduced in 1963 and featured a bottomless hopper. This feature increased the manufacturer's ability to offer a large jackpot, but also limited the number of pay lines and symbols it could offer.
Modern slot machines can offer advanced bonus rounds and more diverse video graphics. They can also include interactive features. For example, a machine might have a bonus game in which players can spin reels to try to create additional winning combinations. These bonus rounds typically align with the game's theme. In addition, the machine will typically offer a high win rate. These games usually have a win rate of 89 percent or higher.
Another popular feature of modern slots is the hold and spin feature. It allows players to spin the reels repeatedly until a specific symbol lands. If it does, the player will receive credits. The more symbols the player wins, the bigger the payout. When the player receives a payout, a screen will appear with a special winning scene on it. The screen will stay on until another symbol lands. This is an easy way to create additional winning combinations.
The hold and spin feature is also commonly used in Betsoft slots. Betsoft has developed a reputation for providing high quality games with a high win rate. The majority of Betsoft slots use a three-reel format, which makes it easier for players to quickly spin. The company also has a large number of games with a hold and spin feature.
The studio relies heavily on traditional affiliates and promotional campaigns to advertise its slots. Its slot portfolio includes approximately 150 video slots. It has also acquired the Megaways license, which allows it to release new Megaways titles. This license adds value to the company's existing portfolio of games.
Pragmatic Play's slots have a three-dimensional feel and a lot of similarities to traditional slot machines. Their slots feature striking graphics, sound effects, and an intro screen. They also offer a battery saving mode and quick spins. Streamers are used to help promote the slot's products and encourage players to try the game. Pragmatic Play also offers a variety of game settings that can be customized to a player's preferences. Its titles typically feature fruit symbols, as well as traditional symbols such as lucky sevens.
Pragmatic Play also relies on traditional affiliates and promotional campaigns to promote their products. Its slots feature a three-reel format, but only a few pay lines. The company has also created a new slot title called Reel Kingdom, which adds value to its portfolio.

Pistols At Dawn Release Brand New Video For 'Gone Black'
by Rockposer Dot Com!	on September 8, 2021 September 8, 2021
Pistols At Dawn have released a brand new video for the single 'Gone Black'. 'Gone Black' is taken off the band's brand new Ep 'Nocturnal Youth'.
The world is ever changing but rock music is constant and unassailable. Few bands epitomize the intensity, energy, power, and vintage creativity right out of the gate like Pistols At Dawn. Simply put, Pistols At Dawn is one of the best new rock bands in America, and the best new rock band from Atlanta, Georgia since Mastodon and Sevendust.
Pistols At Dawn is an American professional rock band formed in 2015 by drummer Adam Jaffe, guitarist Devin White, guitarist Mike Buffa, and bassist Billy Sullivan. Virtuoso guitarist Buffa died tragically in 2018, and the band reunited with incendiary guitarist Tommy Richardson in 2019 with its first worldwide releases in early 2020. Vocals are led by elite Frontman and former VH1 Rockstar Supernova finalist Chris Pierson.
Pistols At Dawn released 3 new singles and videos in 2020, 'Cold', 'Gauntlet' and 'All You Offer'. The singles were recorded/engineered by famed producer Jeff Tomei (Smashing Pumpkins/ Matchbox 20) at Cock the Walk Studio in Atlanta, GA. Pistols At Dawn entered the studio again in mid 2020 and wrapped up its new EP 'Nocturnal Youth' with producer Jeff Tomei and "Faith No More" Mastering Guru Maor Appelbaum. The first single and video from the EP, 'Voices', was released March 5, 2021.
Pistols At Dawn is a high energy, heavy hitting, heart pumping, radio ready hard rock band with lyrics and visuals of the times pushing the listener not to accept the status quo. PAD has been compared to a combination of Godsmack, Breaking Benjamin, Shinedown, Tool, AC/DC, Metallica, Disturbed and other universal hard rock acts, while retaining a uniquely electric, powerful, and vintage sound singular to Pistols At Dawn.

As part of a UK Government First World War Centenary campaign, commemorative paving stones are being laid at the birth places of every Victoria Cross (VC) recipient of the First World War. These commemorative paving stones are being laid over a period of four years from 2014 until 2018, and provide a lasting legacy in remembrance of those who gave their lives in the First World War.
The UK Government provides the paving stone, and looks to local councils or community groups create an event around it. This has worked really well, with Councils and local groups working together to create thoughtful, inclusive commemorative events around the unveiling of the paving stones.
There are eight stones for recipients born in what is now Northern Ireland - six have been laid to date with two to follow in 2018. 32 stones have also been provided for all the VC recipients from across the island of Ireland, which are being unveiled in stages at Glasnevin cemetery.
This project has further contributed to reconciliation and a sense of our shared history, with many VC paving stone ceremonies including those from all communities and backgrounds, with attendance by representatives from both UK and Irish Governments.

A new generation emerges in the world of windsurfing
Phenoms Yael Paz and Gal Fridman sail toward international success.
by Jeremy Johnson | Tuesday, October 28, 2014
by Jeremy Johnson
A young windsurfer's dream came true when he edged out more than 30 amateur windsurfers from around the world to capture the gold in a windsurfing discipline known as RS:X, or sailboard – currently one of the most popular sailing sports.
The International Sailing Federation's 2014 Youth Championships, held in Portugal July 12-19, fielded about a half-dozen races, with 67 nations sending 367 sailors to compete in events like the 29er, 420 and Laser Radial fleet racing, as well as the RS:X windsurfing event.
Yael Paz, who won gold in RS:X, led the Israeli youth contingent that has now accumulated more than 15 medals in European and World championships.
On the last day of competition, Paz was neck-and-neck with Italian Mattia Camboni, who needed to win outright and get a third-place finish to top the international field, and for Paz not to place. But while Camboni won his points, Paz came in second to secure the gold overall.
It was the latest in a string of nail-biting finishes ending in victory for Israeli windsurfers.
At the Athens 2004 Summer Olympics, Israeli windsurfer Gal Fridman won the same way, gaining second place in the final race of competition. He still beat his competitors to hold onto the gold, which he missed out on in Atlanta in 1996, when he won the bronze.
Fridman's gold in Athens inspired young windsurfer Shahar Zubari, who was in the finals of the 2012 windsurfing event and won a bronze at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. In last place to start the final race, Zubari came from behind for a second-place finish on the day and third overall.
Like Fridman before and Paz since, Zubari took up the sport of windsurfing growing up in Eilat, Israel's prime windsurfing spot on the coast of the Red Sea. There, he said, the "waters are calm and it's like summer all year round."

"We definitely have great conditions for (sailing)," Zubari told From the Grapevine. "We just have great facilities in general, and because Israel is so small, everything is easy to get to." Zubari said easy travel is especially important for competitive windsurfers who need to experience and prepare for many different sailing conditions.
Zubari said he plans on trying out for the 2016 Olympics in Brazil and, if he can't make it, hopes somebody from his home nation steps up. After all, he said, there's plenty of talent.
"There's definitely a lot of talented young windsurfers here," Zubari said. "There's a few young men coming up who will be really good for Israel. I really hope one of the young guys will eventually come up and compete and win another medal. I think Israel has a really good future in sailing sports."
Smadar Pintov, chief executive officer of the Israel Sailing Association, told From the Grapevine that he's seen increased interest in both competitive and recreational sailing sports.
"There is a sailing movement in Israel, and every year there are more and more children and adults in the sailing sports," Pintov said. "The Israeli Sailing Association takes a role only in competitive sailing, but I know that the increased interest in sailing in Israel is not only (in competition) but in public sailing like yachting, SAP, windsurfing and (other leisure sailing)."

PIA Banned Social Media Use for its Employees
5 years ago Jimmy Arthur
General Manager Compensation of the Pakistan International Airline has banned the use of social media for the company employees as reported by a local News Channel.
As per the released notification, employees would not be able to use social media applications like Twitter, Facebook and WhatsApp along with many more social media websites.
The employees are told to abide by the ruling strictly or else would be treated with severe action.

The sources of the national flag carrier inform that the ban has been put into effect by the General Manager Compensation in order to keep the issues related to corruption and incompetence distant and hidden from public knowledge.
Pakistan International Airlines remains in limelight because of issues now and then. The whole institution has suffered immensely because of the negligence and ignorance of the ruling and higher authorities.
PIA has been striving to build back its image and to regain its position, however, it seems every time something good is done by the airline the next moment that is followed by some other controversy.
Recently the airline was appreciated and was in good talks for its gestures like the "Santa on Board" during the New Year time span or the "Birth of a Baby Girl on Board". But again, issues came to light including the "unhealthy on-board kitchen".
Pakistan International Airlines has seen and enjoyed good times. It has milestones in the aviation industry. It was the first airline of Asia to fly the Lockheed Super Constellation and the first non-communist airline to provide flights to the Republic of China.
It is Pakistan's largest airline and has a fleet of more than thirty aeroplanes. As of 2016, it has been going through privatization shifts. It provides flights to twenty-two local and twenty-eight international destinations across continents. It operates nearly hundred flights on a regular basis.
PIA's business has suffered as the Gulf airlines have captured its market locally. The airline is under huge financial debts which need to be paid so that the airline could thrive again.

Following the finale of CW's new hit show The Flash, they restarted the season weekly airing it chronologically. This left those of us thirsting for more (and unable to find any other quality content on at the time) to watch the pilot episode only a week after the amazing finale.
Again, I cannot reiterate how good of a show this is for any DC fans.

Vir2 Instruments has just released the latest virtual instrument that I worked on, BASiS, a collection of acoustic, electric, upright, and synth basses in Kontakt Player format. I produced the collection along with veteran L.A. bassist John Massey, who owns a phenomenal collection of modern and vintage basses. We recorded all the usual suspects: a Jazz Bass, a Precision Bass, a Musicman, a Rickenbacker…then we got creative and started going for signature tones that are famous in the history of low end: McCartney's Hofner, Jaco's fretless, and so on. We recorded all kinds of articulations, slides, slaps, and then edited it down into the BASiS virtual instrument.
BASiS is powered by the popular Kontakt Player engine, offering total integration into all major sequencers via its AudioUnit, VST, and RTAS plug-ins, as well as standalone operation.

Q: Vertically align BoxView in Grid cell With the following layout and styles, the BoxView isn't vertically centered such that it's aligned with the label. How do I achieve this?
<Grid Grid.Column="1">
    <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
        <ColumnDefinition Width="10" />
        <ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
    </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
    <BoxView Grid.Column="0" BackgroundColor="Red"></BoxView>
    <Label Grid.Column="1" x:Name="lbl1"/>
</Grid>

<Style TargetType="BoxView">
    <Setter Property="WidthRequest" Value="10" />
    <Setter Property="HeightRequest" Value="10" />
    <Setter Property="VerticalOptions" Value="Center" />
    <Setter Property="HorizontalOptions" Value="Center" />
</Style>
<Style TargetType="Label">
    <Setter Property="FontSize" Value="12" />
    <Setter Property="YAlign" Value="Center" />
</Style>

Setting VerticalOptions to Start or End has the box flush against the top or bottom respectively. So, it doesn't seem to be doing central alignment correctly.

A: Use CenterAndExpand instead
<Style TargetType="BoxView">
    <Setter Property="WidthRequest" Value="10" />
    <Setter Property="HeightRequest" Value="10" />
    <Setter Property="VerticalOptions" Value="CenterAndExpand" />
    <Setter Property="HorizontalOptions" Value="Center" />
</Style>

Update: Here's a very good explanation of the difference.
Hope this helps.-

A: 1) Try to add an explicit RowDefinition and its height;
2) Try adjust the label's FontSize to the BoxView size;
Or a dirty hack: you can add a top margin to the BoxView.

A: You need to use this on the Label too:
<Setter Property="VerticalOptions" Value="Center" />

Your code is just aligning the text position inside the label, not the position of the label itself.

A: When fighting text not aligning vertically:

*

*Try the following: set for label

    VerticalOptions="Fill"
VerticalTextAlignment="Center"

*Consider a case when your elements are vertically aligned but do not seem so because of font creator settings, font adding more space to bottom or top breaking alignment. This can be solved a custom renderers system or by a silly
TranslationY="1"
or "-0.5" whatever..

Central Asian Migrants Facing Uncertain Year in Russia (Report)
Friday, January 7, 2011 at 7:20AM
(HN, January 7, 2011) - Fardin Saidulayev manages a newspaper kiosk in the Russian city of Novosibirsk, where he is one of the few Tajik laborers to hold a coveted work permit. Yet he faces an uncertain new year. As of January 1, new Russian legislation bans foreigners from working in trade. Saidulayev says he now lives in constant fear he will be fired, or even deported. Young Tajik men, returning home on a 97-hour train ride from Moscow, arrive at the main station in Dushanbe in February 2009. Russia is tightening immigration procedures, saying the country only needs skilled, Russian-speaking laborers. The change could have a drastic effect in Tajikistan, where migrant-worker remittances comprise up to half the country's GDP. CREDIT: David Trilling/EurasiaNet.org
"I am not sure what I will do," Saidulayev, 26, said recently. Originally from the town of Ishkashim in the Pamir Mountains, Saidulayev has been in Russia for three years. "I may try to keep working here or I may have to start working on a building site, but competition for jobs there is fierce and the pay is lower," he added.
Though its economy is rebounding from the 2008 global financial crisis, Moscow, the scene of recent ethnic rioting, is tightening immigration procedures. Russian officials now say the country only needs skilled, Russian-speaking laborers. The changes could have a drastic effect in Tajikistan, where migrant-worker remittances comprise up to half the country's GDP.
Around 98 percent of Tajik migrants in Russia work as unskilled laborers, Viktor Sebelev, the head of the Russian Federal Migration Service's office in Tajikistan, said recently in Dushanbe. Many fail to integrate into Russian society. The Moscow-based Center of Migration Studies says that only 50 percent of labor migrants are literate enough in Russian to complete official documents; 20 percent have no command of the language at all.
In November, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin signed the decree banning foreign laborers from working as traders in outdoor kiosks and markets and from selling alcohol or pharmaceuticals. Foreigners still have the right to work in markets as loaders, cleaners, wholesalers or managers.
Since Putin signed the legislation, official rhetoric justifying the measure has intensified.
In early December, newly appointed Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin announced new restrictions on migration to Moscow. The mayor called for "firm control" over immigration and declared the quota of foreign workers in the city would be decreased to 200,000, an almost 50 percent drop in 2011 from the previous year's total. "I have nothing against migrants, the city needs them. I just want to understand what kind of specialists are needed and in what areas," he said in comments carried by the state news agency, RIA Novosti.
Similarly, the government has cut its migrant work permit quota again this year to 1.5 million, a significantly smaller number than in 2007 when 6 million migrants obtained work permits, RIA Novosti reported.
The Federal Migration Service also announced in early December that it would compile a list of all migrants from the CIS in Russia, a process expected to take two years. Proponents claim that legalizing a migrant's status guarantees more rights, including access to healthcare. But the number of unregistered migrants far exceeds the number of permits. Some estimates place the number of migrant workers in Russia at 12 million.
A reduction in unskilled labor migration could have serious repercussions for Tajikistan's feeble economy. In 2009, according to the International Organization of Migration (IOM), 18 percent of the working-age population migrated abroad; their remittances accounted for 49.6 percent of GDP. Tajik government officials estimate that 900,000 Tajiks work in Russia, 30 percent in trade like Saidulayev.
There is skepticism, however, whether Putin's new decree is enforceable. In Dushanbe, the IOM's Malika Yarbabaeva expects it "won't result in the mass return of migrants from Russia." A similar law from 2007 was never effectively implemented, she argues, noting that only 17 percent of all migrants live legally in Russia, highlighting the Moscow's weak control over the state bureaucracy.
Nevertheless, the new law will simply augments the black market for foreign labor, pushing more migrants into unsafe conditions, said an official from Tajikistan's migration service. "I do not think we will see many Tajiks return. The migrants will find loopholes in the law and continue to work in Russia. For instance, they will register their stalls in the names of Russian citizens," the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity out of concern for vexing his Russian counterparts. The Tajik official argued that many Tajiks will continue to work illegally in the trade sector.
That is bad news for Saidulayev, who feels that, because he is legally registered, he has a higher profile than many migrants and could be singled out and made an example of. "I am being punished for living here legally when many people from my country live here illegally. I think this new policy will compel many Tajiks to continue living outside the Russian laws," he said by telephone from Novosibirsk.
"At the moment I am waiting," Saidulayev said, calling the distinction between skilled and unskilled laborers arbitrary. "I expect the police will come to close me down soon. If this happens, I don't know what I will do."

Sheryl Kennedy Named Deputy Governor, Financial Markets
Sheryl Kennedy, Deputy Governor of the Bank of Canada, has been asked by the Bank's Board of Directors to serve as Deputy Governor, Financial Markets. She takes over the responsibilities formerly carried out by Tim Noël, who passed away last week.
Ms. Kennedy has been a Deputy Governor and member of the Bank's Governing Council since joining the Bank in 1994. The Governing Council takes collective responsibility for the Bank's affairs, including formulating and implementing monetary policy as well as dealing with broad organizational and strategic issues.
Most recently, Ms. Kennedy has been Deputy Governor responsible for the Bank's corporate services and its fiscal agency responsibilities for the federal government's retail debt program. Previously, she had responsibility for currency and the provision of banking services. Prior to joining the Bank, she served as General Director of the Financial Sector Policy Branch of the Department of Finance.
Born in Kingston, Ontario, Ms. Kennedy graduated with a bachelor's degree from the University of Waterloo in 1976 and also has a master's degree in public administration from Harvard University and certificates in finance and financial markets from the London School of Economics.
Ms. Kennedy joined the Government of Canada in 1980 and held various positions in Energy Mines and Resources Canada and the Department of Finance. She served as Finance Counsellor at the Canadian Embassy in Paris from 1990 to 1993 prior to becoming General Director of the Financial Sector Policy Branch of the Department of Finance.
Her new role as Deputy Governor, Financial Markets, is effective immediately.

Sorry to break it to you, but becoming a landlord isn't just a case of buying a property, finding a tenant and letting the money roll in. It means understanding what landlords legally have to provide, fix and pay for during a tenancy, as well as your own rights. In other words, it means getting your head around all the boring laws laid out in the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985.
Predictably, said Act is drier than the Sahara 😴, so we've stepped in to help make it that bit more digestible, even if there's little chance of making it tasty.
Have a read through of our handy legal for landlords 101 checklist, then get on with the fun part!
It's a criminal offence to let your property as a main residence to anyone who cannot provide proof of British citizenship or their right to rent in the UK. It's the responsibility of you or your letting agent to check a prospective tenant's ID. Letting to an illegal migrant can lead to a fine of up to £3,000 per tenant or even a prison sentence. So don't just assume!
If your tenant has a UK/EEA/Swiss passport, they have a permanent right to rent. Tenants can also show both their UK birth or adoption certificate and their full or provisional UK driving licence together. For a full list of documents that confirm the right to rent, see the Home Office guide. Take copies as proof you have carried out these checks and note the date on which they took place.
You must have an Energy Performance Certificate to let a property legally. These state how energy efficient your property is and advise on how to improve it. It must have an EPC rating of E or above to be rentable. Tenants must be given a copy when they move in to give them an idea of how much their energy bills will cost. These last for ten years but you can apply for a new one if you make improvements to your property.
Gas equipment must be installed and maintained by a Gas Safe registered engineer (do not be tempted to 'have a go' yourself! 🙏). They must check the safety of all appliances and pipes every year. You must give a copy of the latest safety check record to your tenant, either before they move in or within 28 days of the engineer's inspection. Keep these records for at least two years.
You must also email or give your tenant a hard copy of the government guide, 'How to Rent', which lays out your legal obligations as landlord and their rights as tenants. If you don't give them this guide, you can't serve a Section 21 eviction notice (see below!).
Huh? Okay, so in England and Wales you have a choice of three deposit protection schemes, all backed by the government, with which you can registered your tenant's deposit: Deposit Protection Service, MyDeposits, Tenancy Deposit Scheme.
These exist to make sure a tenant gets their deposit back if they meet the terms of the tenancy agreement, don't damage your property and pay the rent and bills.
You must put your tenant's deposit into one of these schemes within 30 days of receiving it. The Housing Act 2004 states you must then send your tenant all the details listed on this government page, known as 'prescribed information'.
Once the tenancy comes to an end, you must return the deposit within 10 days of agreeing with your tenant how much they'll get back. It'll be protected in the scheme until any disputes are resolved, with a free dispute resolution service offered if both parties agree to it.
Fail to do this and you risk being ordered by a court to pay the tenant up to three times the deposit! 😱 It's also impossible to serve an eviction notice if you haven't protected your tenant's deposit.
For clarity, the law states that you as the landlord must take responsibility for issues with the roof, walls, windows frames, gutters, chimney, stairs and bannisters; the heating, hot water and radiators; any gas appliances, pipes and ventilation; electrical wiring; the basins, sinks, baths, pipes and drains; and, of course, any damage that may be caused in the process of attempting these repairs.
Tenancy agreements are the best way to make it crystal clear what else you will repair during the tenancy. For example, you may also agree to maintain any appliances you've provided, such as washing machines, dishwashers and fridges. Repairing communal stairways and entrance halls usually also fall under the landlord's responsibility, but fixing a lightbulb does not!
Gas appliances must be checked yearly, as mentioned above. There's no similar requirement for electricity (unless you're a 'house in multiple occupation', see below), but you must ensure that all sockets and light fittings are safe to use, as well as any provided electrical appliances. If unsure, electricians can perform safety checks every five years.
Fire safety is a serious issue. It's your legal duty to install smoke alarms on every floor, as well as a carbon monoxide alarm in any room with a wood burning stove or other 'solid fuel burning appliance' 🔥.
These need to be in working order when your tenant moves in; a good tip is to record your check in the inventory. From then on, they are responsible for replacing the batteries or telling you they need a new one. Fail to do this and you risk a fine of up to £5,000!
You must also ensure that any supplied furniture and furnishings are fire safe and that tenants have access to escape routes wherever they are in the property.
Extra fire gear, such as extinguishers, need only be provided if you're renting out an HMO.
You're legally within your right to enter your property to inspect problems and carry out repairs. However, the law states you must give your tenants at least 24 hours' notice, unless it's a genuine emergency or they give you permission to enter sooner.
Note that tenants have the right to stay in the house while minor repairs are carried out. During major repairs, you can ask them to move out, but only after confirming in writing how long the works will last, details of alternative accommodation and their right to return.
If they refuse to leave, you can apply to the court for an order for your tenants to leave. You're more likely to be granted this if you provide them with alternative accommodation.
HMOs, or houses in multiple occupation, are properties rented by at least three people from more than one household, sharing a kitchen and bathroom. If five or more people live there, you must apply for a licence from the council. Beware, there's an 'unlimited fine' if you don't!
If your annual rental income exceeds £2,500 after expenses or exceeds £10,000 before expenses, you must pay tax. The first £1,000 of profits is tax-free and constitutes your 'property allowance'. To pay tax you'll need to file a Self Assessment tax return 📝.
Expenses you can deduct from your rental income include the things you need to spend money on to keep your property running, such as letting agents' fees, insurance and necessary repairs. You can no longer deduct buy-to-let mortgage interest. For more, see this government page.
You cannot simply throw a tenant out of your house mid-tenancy for falling behind on rent or breaking the terms of the tenancy agreement. In this case, you must apply to a court to serve a Section 8 notice (an eviction notice) and be prepared to give evidence.
A Section 21 notice, informing the tenant of your wish to take back the property can be served without a reason after a fixed term tenancy ends or during a periodic, or rolling, tenancy. To do this, you must fill in Form 6a online. Tenants must be given at least two months' notice to leave.
Forcing a tenant to leave without following the official procedure is illegal.
Good letting agents can be really helpful too, acting as the go-between for your tenants and taking a lot of the admin weight off your shoulders.
That's where Movebubble comes in, helping you choose the most reliable letting agent in your neighbourhood. Simply pop your postcode into our handy search tool and you'll be taken to a list of the best letting agents in your area, as rated for by renters. Finally, you can breathe a sigh of relief!

British cars and British motorcycles share a spirit.
Anyone who loves Royal Enfield motorcycles would have loved the 20th Annual British Car Show Sunday at Royal Palm Place in Boca Raton, Fla.
It's natural to suggest that there are similarities between the great British cars of the past and that (oddly) British motorcycle of the present, the Royal Enfield.
Many are green, for instance, and all display a soul that is frankly, sometimes romantically, mechanical. And they smell of oil.
A pair of driving gloves cast casually by the gearshift.
What impressed me as I walked around the show was the number of design elements British cars share with British motorcycles.
A fondness for wire wheels, for instance. Open-air seating is another. Mechanical parts are proudly on view. Even when the bonnets are closed, a strategically placed bulge in the hood will suggest what lurks beneath.

One would think that Britain had founded its empire on the strength of the exterior door hinge alone, so many were proudly on view.
When speaking of "convenience features" in a British sports car, you are apparently speaking almost entirely of the wing nut.

We adopt a holistic and collaborative approach, working with staff and students across the University community and the wider region to deliver projects and build partnerships. Students are involved and consulted wherever possible and we have many active societies engaged in a range of issues. All can apply to the Environmental Sustainability Fund to fund their own projects and ideas. In particular the University and the Student Union work closely together, demonstrated by a recent project to reduce food waste which scored Excellent in a NUS Green Impact project and has been shortlisted as a Finalist in the EAUC Green Gown Awards. Warwick has recently launched a Global Sustainability Degrees showing our commitment to Education for Sustainable Development. This is complemented by optional interdisciplinary modules alongside internships, projects and placements with the Estates Sustainability team. There is much still to do but Warwick is committed to the environment in our research, teaching and operations: creating a sustainable campus and sustainable leaders equipped to make the world a better place.


The most common way of accounting for petty cash expenditures is to use the imprest system. The initial fund would be created by issuing a cheque for the desired amount. An amount of $100 would typically be sufficient for most small business needs as the expenses to be covered are for small amounts. The bookkeeping entry for this initial fund would be to debit Petty Cash and credit bank account.
As expenditures are made, the custodian of the fund will reimburse employees and receive a petty cash voucher with a receipt/invoice attached in return. At any given time, the total of cash on hand plus reimbursed vouchers must equal the original fund.
When the fund gets low, e.g. $20 remaining, the custodian (a bookkeeper or a member of the administration staff) requests a top up and submits the vouchers for reimbursement. Assuming the vouchers add up to $80, an $80 top up cheque is issued and an $80 debit towards office expenses is recorded. Once the cheque is cashed, the custodian again has cash at the original amount of $100.

Memo Therapeutics AG Announces Positive Phase I Data with AntiBKV for Treatment of BKV Infection in Renal Transplant Patients
Clinical trial met primary endpoint of safety and tolerability
IND submission planned in Q1 2023 to initiate U.S. multicenter study
ZURICH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Memo Therapeutics AG ("MTx"), an innovator in the field of antibody discovery and development, announced today positive safety and tolerability data from a Phase I clinical trial with AntiBKV, an antibody targeting BK polyomavirus ("BKV") infection in renal transplant patients, meeting its primary endpoint.
In this phase I, single-blind, partially randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial, 40 healthy adult volunteers were administered single and multiple ascending intravenous doses of AntiBKV (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT05358106). No relevant adverse events were seen up to the highest dose of 2000 mg and pharmacokinetics were found to be normal and linear. MTx plans to submit an Investigational New Drug Application ("IND") during the first quarter 2023 to initiate a multicenter study in the U.S.
"This initial clinical data for AntiBKV is very encouraging. We believe that AntiBKV, with its 100x more potent neutralization capacity than benchmark antibodies, if confirmed in clinical studies, could present a game-changer for patients who are currently seriously underserved," said Dr. Jürgen Beck, Chief Medical Officer of Memo Therapeutics AG.
"AntiBKV has the potential to be a best- and first-in-class antibody for the treatment of BKV infection in kidney transplant recipients. With 50,000 kidney transplant procedures carried out in the US and Europe alone, AntiBKV addresses a large and rapidly growing market, with an estimated size well beyond USD 1 billion," said Dr. Karsten Fischer, Chief Executive Officer of Memo Therapeutics AG.
BKV infection poses a significant threat in kidney transplantation, with serious adverse effects on graft function and ultimately patient survival. Due to the immunosuppressive drug regimen, reactivation of BKV is triggered in 40 to 50% of kidney transplant recipients. Up to 10% of these cases progress to BKV associated nephropathy, which poses a serious threat to the transplant. There is currently no disease modifying therapy available to treat BKV infection except for the lowering of immunosuppression. However, this significantly increases the risk of a graft rejection reaction, leading to impaired functionality and longevity, or graft failure.
MTx was supported by Vakzine Project Management GmbH ("VPM") based in Hannover, Germany, responsible for translational project management and clinical trial oversight, and by Accelagen Pty Ltd ("Accelagen") based in Melbourne, Australia, for clinical trial management.
About Memo Therapeutics AG
Memo Therapeutics AG ("MTX") is a clinical-stage biopharma company developing best-in-class therapeutic antibodies to transform the lives of patients with virus infections and cancer. MTx's lead program, AntiBKV, is a highly effective and safe neutralizing antibody to treat BK virus infection in kidney transplant recipients.
