Cement manufacturing giant, Lafarge Africa Plc., is positioning itself ahead of competition in the next decade.
Last week, the firm, with over 50 years of operating in the country, launched its 2030 Plan, aimed at tackling the planet's biggest issues for the next decade, set new standards and be the leading example of sustainability.
The plan, the firm explained, supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and consists four pillars: Climate, Circular Economy, Water & Nature, People and Communities. Each pillar comes with a set of quantitative targets such as reducing emissions, deriving energy from waste and developing initiatives that will impact 75 million people across the world. The theme for the 12-year plan is "Building for tomorrow".
Resource scarcity alongside urbanisation, climate change and housing needs are some of the challenges the world faces today, especially in emerging economies like Nigeria. This perhaps explains the position of the firm.
According to the firm's Director of Communications, Public Affairs & Sustainable Development, Mrs. Folashade Ambrose-Medebem, "at Lafarge, sustainability is a core value and business strategy. It's part of what we do wherever we operate. Some of world's biggest challenges like urbanisation, housing and climate change are visible in Nigeria. The 2030 plan is our way of providing sustainable solutions to these challenges within and outside our operations,"she said.
Housing and Sustainable Development Director at the University of Lagos, Professor Timothy Nubi, said Lafarge should be applauded for its initiative and effort in sustainability development in the country. This, according to him, is because sustainable development is still at its infancy in Nigeria.
"Few companies are still doing what we see as significant in this area; majority of firms still see it as oh they are asking us to spend money. Only very few like Lafarge see it as part of their DNA. It is a way of being responsible. Such initiatives give both economic and social benefits to the country and its people," Nubi explained, adding that what the company has done has led to "an inclusive economic growth".
Stakeholders in the industry agreed that the cement maker is threading on a familiar ground in terms of its sustainability agenda. For instance, they explained that the cement maker has either adopted or sponsored sustainable innovations within and outside its operations, one of which is the use of alternative fuel in its operations and the Lafarge National Literacy Competition.
Ambrose-Medebem explained that as part of its alternative fuel strategy, Lafarge uses local alternative energy sources at its plants across the country. At its Ewekoro plant, for instance, almost half of the energy generated in one of its production kilns comes from palm kernel shaft and shells. Last November, it concluded the fourth literacy competition, an annual competition for only public primary school pupils from across the country. Two pupils from Edo State won this year's competition.

Florida voters saying 'no' to parties
krobinson4@pnj.com
Like clothing and college football allegiances, political affiliations often are handed down through the family in the Pensacola area.
As a wave of political disenfranchisement grows through the nation, however, more and more voters are deciding that like those old hand-me-down jeans, their family's political party just doesn't fit.
Albeit at a slower pace than the rest of the state, local voters are increasingly choosing the "No Party Affiliation."
"Voters don't really change their minds. People just age out of the party, and the next generation of voters comes in with their own opinions," said Jennifer Emery, an assistant professor at the University of West Florida who holds a doctorate in political science.
"This occurred slower in the South because the community is so strong. When we identify with a party, we usually do it because we have friends and neighbors who agree with our political viewpoints."
Change is slow locally, but it's happening, just as it has in the rest of the state.
Florida gained more than 600,000 new voters since the last gubernatorial election in 2010, and the overwhelming gains came from unaffiliated voters, not members of the two major parties. The choice not to choose was widespread: unaffiliated voters had gains in every single Florida county. The biggest numeric jumps were in Miami and the Interstate 4 corridor, the stretch of highway from St. Petersburg to Daytona Beach that holds the key to any statewide victory.
"They say they're tired of partisan politics," said Carol Davis, who does registration drives among high school students in the Orlando area for the League of Women Voters of Florida. "Some of them said they're just tired of being bombarded with information from a party and they prefer to be independent."
While unaffiliated voters have been increasing around the nation for the past two decades, their rise is particularly resonant in Florida, the nation's biggest swing state. It could play a significant role in the outcome of November's gubernatorial election, and future presidential races, as more voters like 20-year-old Alecsa Kazenas are up for grabs. The University of Central Florida student describes herself as fiscally conservative but socially liberal. Being unaffiliated allows her to express her disenchantment with how the current political system works without giving up being an active citizen, she said.
"I just don't feel like I'm in either category, so having to choose a party just doesn't seem right," said Kazenas, who hasn't decided if she will vote for incumbent GOP Gov. Rick Scott or Democratic challenger Charlie Crist, the former Republican governor. Crist had no party affiliation when ran for the U.S. Senate in 2010 after leaving the Republican Party that year. He joined the Democrats in 2012.
Overall, the increase in unaffiliated voters in Florida is coming at the expense of Democrats more than Republicans.
Since the previous gubernatorial election in 2010, the number of registered Republicans in Escambia County grew slightly, the number of registered Democrats fell by 7 percent, some 5,600 voters, and the number of unaffiliated and minor party voters rose by 15 percent, about 5,000 voters.
In Santa Rosa County, only the Democratic party lost registrants, the number of "No Party" voters rose by more than 6,000 voters and the number of Republican voters rose by more than 8,000 voters.
Unaffiliated voters now make up more than a quarter of all registered voters in the U.S., up from more than a fifth of all registered voters four years ago. Democrats make up around 38 percent of registered voters, down from 41 percent in 2010; Republicans are around 35 percent, down slightly from 36 percent four years ago.
Over the past four years, Democrats lost voters in all but 12 counties, with the biggest losses in Fort Lauderdale and St. Petersburg. Republicans had losses in only 13 counties, with the biggest losses in South Florida. Democrats still led Republicans in pure numbers, but that margin has shrunk from just under 600,000 registered voters in 2010 to well under 500,000 registered voters as of the 2014 primary election last summer.
The shrinkage of the Democratic advantage over Republicans is being driven by the same factor that caused a surge in the 2008 presidential election: President Barack Obama, said Aubrey Jewett, a political scientist at the University of Central Florida. As the president's popularity has waned, so has the Democratic advantage in Florida.
"You could argue that the rise of the unaffiliated voters is more important in Florida than most states," Jewett said. "We're the largest battleground state with a larger and larger pool of unaffiliated voters and the two major parties are even closer in registration numbers than they have been."

Q: Using Indices to get Index in a ForEach loop SwiftUI I am new to SwiftUI and I am trying to get the index for the following ForEach Loop
ForEach(self.postViewModel.posts, id: \.postId) { post in

                                                       HStack(alignment: .top, spacing: 25) {
                                                           Header(post : post)
                                                           Footer(post: post)

I have tried using indices as in the following:
 ForEach(self.postViewModel.posts.indices, id: \.postId) { post in

but I got this error
Value of type 'Range<Array<Post>.Index>.Element' (aka 'Int') has no member 'postId'

I have also tried using index but obviously it wouldn't work since index isn't in the loop
ForEach(self.postViewModel.posts, id: \.postId) { post in

                                                           HStack(alignment: .top, spacing: 25) {

                                                               Footer(post: post)
                                                           Text("#\(index)").frame(width: 45, height: 30)

A: In the variant of indices, you should use self as id
ForEach(self.postViewModel.posts.indices, id: \.self) { post in

Possible variant to have both
ForEach(Array(self.postViewModel.posts.enumerated()),
    id: \.1.postId) { (index, post) in

Eteri Kublashvili reports on the final round of the World Team Championships.
The ultimate round of any event taking place in the morning is usually the most exhausting one. As we know already, the fate of gold medals was sealed with one round to go, but other medals had no shortage of contenders.
Although team Russia ended up outperforming team India, the course of the match was anything but a walk in the park for the champions. Ian Nepomniachtchi handled the opening in a reckless style and emerged down a piece against Ganguly, but his tenacious defense led to a draw. Dmitry Andreikin was having hard time fending off Aravindh's offensive and could have run into substantial difficulties while doing that. Playing White on board one, Sergey Karjakin got a definite edge against Adhiban, but the latter managed to draw the game. However, winning on board three was Alexander Grischuk in what turned out to be the longest game of the match.
– First of all, Sergey Karjakin had informed me that our team would have taken first even with his going down in all tournament games provided that Russia ended up 2.5:0.5 over India at boards 2-4. The score we had with India was never that high, which means only clinching into the share of first in the hypothetical case voiced by Karjakin.
Secondly, I am happy to have helped out team China and especially my friend Ni Hua, my teammate from the Chinese League's Shanghai Tigers.
Besides, my third motivator was my opponent's baseless offering a draw in a pawn down endgame I view it as disrespect for chess in the first place. Having respect for me is not a must, but it would be a good idea to have it for chess.
The Russian team has been undefeated and ended up scoring 16 match points.
England defeated Sweden 3.5:0.5 to take clear second with 13 match points. It was a narrow victory for China over Kazakhstan, which landed them third with 12 match points.
1. Russia - 16; 2. England - 13; 3. China - 12; 4-5. India, USA - 11; 6-7. Iran, Azerbaijan - 8; 8-9. Kazakhstan, Sweden - 4; 10. Egypt - 3.
The Russian men's team performance is summed up by its coach and captain Alexander Motylev.
– Alexander, my victory congratulations to you and your team! Did you anticipate the scenario of winning ahead of time?
–Thank you for congratulations! Men's triumph at the world championship goes back to 2013, this is why you have to treat any such anticipations cautiously. Going into round eight, we were, of course, going over our pursuers' games and were aware of various potential scenarios. There was virtually nothing that depended on us, we just needed to outperform Sweden. However, it happened so that our pursuers ended up dropping match points and we did not.
I fail to recall the last time winning with one round to go. We have steadily made it into the top three in almost all tournaments, finishing third at the latest two Olympiads, sharing 1-2 places at the European Championship, but having bad luck with the tie-breakers. Two years ago we finished second at the Team World Championships behind the Chinese - back then we had tie-breakers playing into our hands, but came up short of points. Despite steady performance, we did want to take gold at last.
– What has contributed to the current success?
– We have a renewed lineup in the first place. First-timers have lived up to expectations. Dmitry Andreikin has participated once at the European Championship, and his performance at this championship has been very decent and solid. And, of course, Vlad's superb performance points to his being in the zone. We decided to invite him on the team even before his Gibraltar triumph, and how he is simply in great shape, coupled with his zest of youth, no lack of confidence and a desire to create over the board. His contribution into the victory cannot be stressed enough.
It goes without saying that it was of paramount importance to win a key matchup from our main competitors China. We lost a match to China last year over one game going badly for us. This time, however, we managed to come up with an interesting opening preparation together with Ian, which he successfully employed against Yu Yangyi to bring the point home. It should be added that it has been long since we defeated this team. This loss was an upset for China, which had also lost their match the day before. The tournament went astray for them afterwards. It was the opposite for us, needless to say.
– What is your take on our other three players' performance?
– Sergey started on a good note, but it is hard to say what went wrong afterwards. He seems not in the best of shape. He suffered bitter defeats over a minute loss of concentration. It was perhaps due to his not coping with tension towards the end of the game, and we had to substitute him for that reason. Still, what mattered most was that the team kept on winning.
Ian's performance is always commendable, him being our team's powerhouse. He had some health issues during the competition, but that did not stand in his way of bringing vital points to the team.
Alexander Grischuk is a seasoned team player, and I am very happy about the way he delivered here. I do like his approach, and young players also look up to him to follow in his footsteps.
– Are you happy about the team togetherness?
– I believe it was ideal, but we'd better ask the players. On the other hand, team togetherness means little in the face of underwhelming play and lack of results. All in all, we have had no major issues standing in our team's way. It has been a lucky mix of youth and experience. In my opinion, a team is always in need of a young player with a fresh look on things, energy and desire to win.
– Does Vladimir Kramnik's absence have any impact on the team?
– Being a profound professional, Vladimir's performance has always lived up to expectations, manifesting itself in a consistent play and many points for his team. I do hope he is going to think again and return to big chess. It is not apparent that he would have played for the team in Astana because we had missed him at certain championships. This said, we could take more young players on team. It is a win-win situation – Kramnik is always a huge asset for the team, and the current lineup is a pleasure to look at as well.
– What about the event's organization?
– We tried to do our best in terms of playing chess, and organizers were doing the same in terms of managing the event. They were ready to meet us halfway, as they say. The playhall is somewhat small, and it felt stuffy in the beginning, but then the latter improved. All in all, they managed well and we have nothing to complain about.
– From your point of view, what is the reason of China's underwhelming performance? Their lineup seems to miss no strong players.
– Their lineup is very strong indeed. Besides, Bu is in great shape, his current rating being 2730, which is a significant zoom from his recent below 2700 level. Going into the matchup with China, I had a feeling that our victory might likely be a turning point from which things would no longer go well for China. It was exactly the case. Nevertheless, it is hard to say what went wrong for team China since Ding's performance at board one was superb.
– Which team or player have you been pleasantly surprised with?
– Although not rated high, Kazakhstan men's decent performance was quite a surprise. Playing home is often a challenge, but they gave a decent display and seem to have even underscored somewhat in certain matches. Russia vs Kazakhstan was a gruelling match, with all games lasting long and remaining unclear until the very end.
You cannot but rejoice with the success of team Iran. Their team is young, shining in which is Firouzja. He has simply torn board four apart. By the way, in that important match with Iran of round one Vlad was the only one managing to outplay Alireza. I thought Iran capable of fighting for one of the medal places, but lack of experience told in the end.
– Did you receive many congratulations on the ahead-of-time victory? Is it of interest to mass media?
– We did receive many calls immediately. Andrey Filatov, senior coach of our team, was taking everything to heart and would often call us, congratulating us immediately after it became known. He could not make it here this time because of his newly-born daughter. Friends and close people are congratulating us, and we have also had many phone calls from mass media people. This amount of phone calls is a real challenge to cope with! (laughing).
Women's team China defeated Ukraine 3.5:0.5 and took the world championship gold with a perfect score.
Russia drew Georgia to take second with 14 match points. Georgia ended up taking bronze with 12 match points, overtaking team Ukraine due to better tie-breakers.
1. China - 18; 2. Russia - 14; 3. Georgia - 12 (23); 4. Ukraine - 12 (20.5); 5. Kazakhstan - 10; 6. India - 9; 7. USA - 7; 8-9. Armenia, Hungary- 4; 10. Egypt - 0.
– The match started on a very good note for us, and I thought we were better at all boards after some two or two and a half hours of play. Alexandra Kosteniuk's position was hard to evaluate, but both Valentina Gunina and Kateryna Lagno were up a pawn and with excellent winning chances. I wish we had converted this edge. Kudos to the Georgian players, who were defending well at their black boards.
In general, our team's performance cannot be assessed as a success because our lineup was optimal and we could have achieved more taking into account the lack of world champion on the Chinese team. By placing Aleksandra Goryachkina on board four we counted on her to become our team's main scorer, which she actually did. She was superb in all nine games. The impression was such that she was only gearing up towards the end of the tournament and was tired not in the least!
Unfortunately, we failed to take any of the key matchups, which frustrated me a lot. We did want to win in style, but failed, and deservedly so, I would say. Strange as it may sound, we managed to win key matchups in previous events, but it was not the case in this event. It rings alarm bells with me. This lack of penetrating power is apparently due our leaders' being in good shape in the preceding period of individual competitions and training camps, but spending too much energy along the way and lacking it here. We tried to give them as much rest time as possible, but it seems not enough.
We were gaining more individual points than China up to a certain moment. It looked as if the Chinese women were having hard time winning their matches. They defeated us a lot more confidently than, say, doing same over Georgia or Kazakhstan. Following this defeat we readjusted to fighting for the second place since the Chinese's home stretch was slightly easier than ours. We ended up taking second by a wide margin.
From the quality point of view, I would like to highlight the matchup with Ukraine, in which all our players were playing great chess up to midpoints of their games. Then we let our chances go (Girya could have scored), but it is unlikely to have affected the overall standings. It was a good match.
The closing ceremony went off in a relaxed manner. Speeches and giving out of awards were interspersed with musical and dance numbers. Some teams had already left, and the Chinese players started heading to the airport immediately after the teams' awards, without waiting for giving out of individual ones at each board.
Vladislav Artemiev is on the brink of becoming a meme. Having been awarded for his first place among reserve players, he would not leave the stage and spend more time there while best reserve players among women and board four winners were being awarded. It turned out later that vice-president of the Kazakhstan Chess Federation Zhandos Abishev would not let Vlad leave the stage to share with others about our chess player having grown up not far from Astana and, therefore, the Kazakh people viewing him as their countryman.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, the world championship is over. We congratulate our teams and all Russian fans on gold and silver medals and wish all of you further success!

Several talented tennis players are in Toronto this week to compete at the $60,000 Tevlin Challenger, an ITF Pro Circuit event. The tournament, aimed at being a stepping stone to playing WTA tournaments, has an illustrious list of past participants and champions, including many whom have gone on to bigger and better things.
The inaugural champion, Toronto was one of three ITF Pro Circuit titles Wozniak won in 2005 as a teenager. A stalwart in Canadian tennis for the past 15 years, Wozniak would go on to win a WTA title at Stanford in 2008 and reach a career-high ranking of world No. 21 in 2009.
Tennis fans probably think of Sabine Lisicki best for making the Wimbledon final back in 2013, or her wicked 131 mph serve. Well, the Tevlin Challenger was also a part of her tennis journey, as at the age of 18 she won just her second pro title here, mere weeks after claiming her first. She eventually hit a career-high of world No. 12, and has three quarter-finals, one semifinal, and one runner-up finish to her name at the grandest Slam of them all, Wimbledon.
The 2009 champion, the Tevlin Challenger was Camila Giorgi's second pro title won at the age of 17. The Italian's career-high ranking is world No. 30 from 2015, the same year she won her lone WTA title at s-Hertogenbosch. Always a dangerous opponent, Giorgi has picked up wins over players like Madison Keys, Elina Svitolina, and Karolina Pliskova this season.
One of Great Britain's best young talents, the Tevlin Challenger was Heather Watson's biggest title to date when she won it in 2010 at the age of 18. She's claimed three WTA titles since then and reached a high of No. 38 on the world rankings.
The most successful Canadian female tennis player ever, Bouchard capped her final season as a junior (less than six months after claiming the Junior Wimbledon crown) with the Tevlin Challenger trophy, her biggest pro title to that point. She would climb to a year-end world No. 32 a year later before hitting the pinnacles of the Wimbledon final and a No. 5 world ranking in a career-best 2014 season.
Canada's top doubles player, who recently competed at the season-ending WTA Finals for the first time, has enjoyed some success on the singles circuit as well. She owns five Tevlin Challenger doubles crowns, and in 2014 added a singles title to her repertoire as well. It was her first pro singles trophy.
Who will add their name to the list for 2017? Come visit Aviva Centre this week and find out! Admission is free for the duration of the tournament and among those competing are Canada's own Bianca Andreescu, Carol Zhao, and Katherine Sebov.

Pain in your elbow, hand, and wrist can range from mild weakness or achiness to throbbing or stabbing pain. The causes of your symptoms are just as wide-ranging. After all, the elbow, hand, and wrist contain complex joints capable of varied movements, making them susceptible to overuse, traumatic injury, wear and tear, and disease.
If you're dealing with elbow, hand, or wrist pain, don't suffer any longer! Visit 1st Choice Health & Wellness in New Albany for a diagnosis. Then, receive drug-free, non-invasive treatment for your condition. Our services tackle the root of the problem to achieve fast, long-lasting pain relief.
As one of the largest, most-used joints in your body, elbow pain is often caused by overuse. Tennis elbow is one example. This painful condition occurs when the tendons in your elbow are injured by repetitive movements of your arm. As you might expect, tennis elbow is a common sports injury for tennis players, golfers, and others. It's also likely for plumbers, carpenters, painters, and other professionals to develop this overuse injury.
The hand and fingers are complex structures full of joints, nerves, and delicate bones. Frequent gripping or clenching can lead to a condition called trigger finger, which may or may not cause hand pain. This is when the tendon sheath enclosing the tendon of your first finger becomes inflamed. The sheath tightens around the tendon, causing it to become caught when you flex and straighten your finger. Without treatment, this condition may eventually cause your finger to get stuck in a bent position.
The wrist is an important joint subject to overuse and injury. One common condition is carpal tunnel syndrome. This describes the narrowing of the carpal tunnel, which puts pressure on the median nerve running through it. The resulting pain, numbness, and tingling can be felt in the forearm, wrist, thumb, and first two fingers. Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by repetitive movements of the hands and fingers, including typing and knitting.
When it comes to elbow, hand, and wrist pain, no two cases are exactly alike. A combination of overuse, traumatic injury, wear and tear, and disease can contribute to your pain. That's why our chiropractor takes a careful look at your symptoms, lifestyle, and medical history to pinpoint the exact cause and make an accurate diagnosis.
Once we know the reason for your pain, we'll use a combination of chiropractic care and physical therapy for tennis elbow, trigger finger, and carpal tunnel treatment. Our goal is to eliminate your elbow, hand, and wrist pain without drugs or surgery.
If you're looking for a natural elbow, hand, and wrist pain treatment, turn to our chiropractor and physical therapist in New Albany. Our entire team is experienced, trained, and certified in a wide variety of techniques. We'll make sure you receive the treatment you need to match your physical limitations and lifestyle goals.
When you're ready, contact us at (812) 945-4500 to begin physical therapy or chiropractic care. New patients receive a free consultation, so schedule your appointment today!

Washington Security Deposit Collections & Holdings
Last Updated: December 23, 2022 by Ashley Porter
Maximum / Limit No Limit
Inventory Requirement Required
Interest Requirement None
To learn about laws on security deposit returns in Washington, click here.
Maximum Security Deposit Allowed in Washington
Washington law does not limit the maximum security deposit, but local jurisdictions can establish their own limits. For example, Seattle limits the maximum security deposit plus any non-refundable fees to one month's rent and the non-refundable fees cannot exceed 10% of one month's rent.
Spokane and Tacoma laws do not limit the maximum security deposit. Check your local laws to determine if there are security deposit laws specific to your area.
Washington landlords can collect non-refundable fees in addition to the security deposit as long as they are mentioned in the lease agreement, like a non-refundable pet fee.
Landlords can choose to collect a fee
instead of a security deposit, which may be partially or fully non-refundable, if all of the following conditions have been met.
The tenant agrees to pay the fee instead of the security deposit
The landlord provides a disclosure
to the tenant regarding their option to select the fee
The landlord provides the same options to all tenants
The fee is used to purchase insurance to cover damage to the unit and the coverage is not altered during the lease term
The landlord provides the terms of the insurance coverage to the tenant in writing
Landlords can charge a deposit
up to 25% of the first month's rent to secure a rental unit in advance. If the tenant moves in, the deposit must be credited to their rent or security deposit. If the tenant does not move in, the landlord can keep the deposit if the tenant was provided with a written statement of conditions when paying the deposit.
Single-family housing is exempt from the security deposit rules in these two situations if an attorney reviews and approves the lease agreement and the lease agreement mentions the exemption.
The lease term is longer than a year
The lease agreement includes an option for the tenant to purchase
Can Landlords Charge an Additional Pet Deposit in Washington?
Washington law does not prohibit landlords from charging a pet deposit, non-refundable pet fee, and/or monthly pet premium, but local jurisdictions may establish their own rules regarding pet deposits.
In Seattle, landlords can only charge a maximum pet deposit, except for animals that provide support to disabled persons, of up to 25% of one month's rent in addition to the security deposit
and may not charge any other pet-related fees.
If a landlord charges a pet deposit in Seattle, the tenant must be permitted to pay it in three equal installments.
How Much Rent Can a Landlord Collect Upfront in Washington?
Washington law does not limit the maximum security deposit, prepaid rent, and non-refundable fees that can be collected upfront, but in some situations, the tenant must be permitted to pay in installments.
Landlords must allow tenants to pay in installments unless the deposit plus non-refundable fees are less than 25%
of the first month's rent and last month's rent is not collected upfront. The required installment options are:
Leases three months or longer – Three consecutive, equal payments
Shorter leases – Two consecutive, equal payments
Local jurisdictions may establish their own similar rules.
For example, Seattle Municipal Code allows tenants to pay their security deposit, non-refundable fees and last month's rent in:
Six installments – Leases longer than six months
Four installments – Leases shorter than six months
Two installments – Month-to-month leases
Security Deposit Collections in Washington
When collecting a security deposit, landlords in Washington must provide the tenant with a written statement describing the condition of the rental unit and the lease agreement must include the conditions of the deposit.
Do Landlords Have to Provide a Receipt for the Security Deposit in Washington?
Yes, landlords in Washington must provide a receipt for the security deposit.
What Obligations Do Landlords Have to Establish the Condition at Move-in in Washington?
To collect a security deposit, landlords in Washington must provide a written statement
describing the condition of the rental unit at the start of the lease term. The statement must be signed
by the landlord and tenant and a copy must be provided to the tenant. The tenant can request one additional copy.
If a landlord fails to provide a written statement when collecting a security deposit, the tenant has the right to sue the landlord for the amount of the deposit including court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees.
Landlords are always required to ensure their property is habitable and compliant with state and local housing codes.
Security Deposit Holdings in Washington
Landlords in Washington can commingle deposits, but they must be held
in one of the following:
Trust account designated specifically for the security deposits
State or national bank and trust company
State or federal savings bank, savings and loan association, or credit union
Licensed escrow agent located in Washington
Are Tenants Entitled to Interest on Their Security Deposit in Washington?
Washington law does not require landlords to provide interest on held security deposits. If the security deposit is placed in an account that gains interest, it belongs to the landlord unless stated otherwise in the lease agreement.
How Are Security Deposits Accounted for in Washington?
What Happens to a Security Deposit When the Property is Sold in Washington?
When a property is sold in Washington, the seller must transfer the security deposit to an equivalent account and notify the tenant of the name and address of the new account.

All moneys paid to the landlord by the tenant as a deposit as security…shall promptly be deposited by the landlord in a trust account, maintained by the landlord for the purpose of holding such security deposits for tenants of the landlord, in a financial institution as defined by *RCW 30.22.041 or licensed escrow agent located in Washington.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the landlord shall be entitled to receipt of interest paid on such trust account deposits.

Norman Braman's advice to voters notwithstanding, there is a measure on the ballot that deserves a resoundingly emphatic YES! And that is the question asking voters to make the Miami-Dade Inspector General's office a permanent part of the county's home rule charter -- in effect our local constitution. By punching yes, the county's watchdog agency -- which deserves credit for recovering $175 million in stolen taxpayer funds and sending more than 215 public trust betrayers to jail during its 12-year existence -- could never be abolished by the county commission.

On politics in the Golden State
« Previous Post | PolitiCal Home | Next Post »
Diane Watson backs at least two candidates for same Assembly seat
December 30, 2011 | 6:17 pm
Former Rep. Diane E. Watson has long been known for mentoring younger African Americans who aspire to political careers, so it's hardly any wonder that the Los Angeles Democrat's endorsement is especially sought after. It's just that sometimes she doesn't want to choose among deserving candidates, she said.
So when California Democratic Party official Reginald Jones-Sawyer asked for her support in his quest for an open Los Angeles-area Assembly seat, Watson said she got on board. "You can use my name," she said she told Jones-Sawyer, who works for the city of Los Angeles.
But when Social Security activist Greg Akili, who is seeking the same 59th District seek as Jones-Sawyer, also asked Watson to back him, she said yes to Akili too.
"They are all my friends," Watson said of Akili, Jones-Sawyer and other, unnamed supplicants. "I like them and I support them all…. I don't like to choose one over the other, so may the best person win."
Four others have taken steps to run for the open seat in the newly drawn district.
Candidates in other Assembly races for next year also have been busy lining up supporters. In the crowded contest for an open San Fernando Valley seat, attorney Andrew Lachman announced his endorsement by Rep. Bob Filner (D-Chula Vista) and several local elected officials.
One of Lachman's Democratic rivals for the 46th District -- Adrin Nazarian, an aide to L.A. Councilman Paul Krekorian -- secured the endorsement of the Los Angeles Airport Police. Another, charter schools executive Brian C. Johnson, scored backing from former L.A. City Controller Rick Tuttle and former Democratic Assemblyman Richard Katz, who used to represent part of the Valley.
Running for the 51st District seat, Luis Lopez, president of the city of Los Angeles' East Area Planning Commission, announced his endorsement by Sheet Metal Workers Local 105. And Anthony Rendon, a Democrat in the contest for the 63rd District in southeast L.A. County, collected support from former Democratic Assemblyman Hector de la Torre.

Research study shows lack of information behind COVID-19 vaccine reluctance
PHILADELPHIA CREAM, April 6, 2021 / PRNewswire / – Women, the black community and Generation Z are the three groups most likely to resist receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, according to a recent study by LevLane Inc. and MarketVision Research, Inc.
The study of 471 adults was conducted to better understand which groups are most resistant to the vaccine, why they are suspicious and what can be done to overcome their concerns.
Vaccine resistance results 1-4
Vaccine resistance survey
"We know there is hesitation around this vaccine, and we wanted to understand what was driving that hesitation," said Kendall Gay, vice president of MarketVision Research. "What we found was not surprising, but very interesting how the story unfolded when we divided the data into subgroups."
Research has found that more than a quarter of participants are reluctant to receive the vaccination due to concerns about medical confidentiality, levels of confusion and unfavorable criticism of the deployment. Almost half of the women surveyed, 48%, said they would not receive the vaccine if offered to them today, with 30% of the men also refusing.
The study also identified the reasons for the reluctance, with 51% of participants saying the vaccines were developed too quickly and 47% being unsure of side effects.
"The size of this population surprised us, as well as some of the groups that were more resistant," said David Huehnergarth, Director of Strategy at LevLane. "But one thing was very clear: They are hesitant due to concerns / concerns about side effects and they want more information from the federal and state government about them."
While this poses a real challenge for federal, state, and local authorities, the remedy appears to be simple: provide clear and transparent information on areas of concern, which revolve primarily around side effects and long-term immunity.
Part of the solution will require these government agencies to change how they communicate and through what channels, as many respondents cited communication preferences largely excluded from vaccine communication plans.

Boston International Ballet Competition (BIBC)
VALENTINA KOZLOVA, founder/director of BOSTON INTERNATIONAL BALLET COMPETITION
The second annual Boston International Ballet Competition (BIBC) will take place June 15-17 at the Cutler Majestic Theater in Boston, with almost 100 young dancers, ages 13 to 25, from 16 countries around the world, dancing before a panel of internationally renowned ballet company directors and choreographers.
Founder/director is Valentina Kozlova, former principal dancer with Moscow's Bolshoi Ballet and New York's New York City Ballet. On Broadway, Kozlova appeared in the revival of "On Your Toes," featuring George Balanchine's Slaughter on Tenth Avenue Ballet.
About BIBC, Kozlova states: "From the beginning, BIBC's concern has been to make sure that participating dancers focus on their passion, dance. BIBC is not about competing, but rather about sharing knowledge and achievements. It is a celebration of talent." Dancers have the chance to learn new repertory, meet their contemporaries from Russia, Brazil, Korea, and all around the world, and possibly gain scholarships, contracts with ballet companies, and monetary rewards.
More About Valentina Kozlova
Moscow native Kozlova was trained at the Bolshoi Ballet School. She joined the Bolshoi Ballet in 1973 and was promoted to Principal Dancer in 1975, appearing in all the major classical roles. In 1979, while on tour with the Bolshoi Ballet in the U.S., she defected in L.A. and was immediately in demand as a guest artist. She starred on Broadway in "On Your Toes," and subsequently joined New York City Ballet as a Principal Dancer, remaining with the Company until 1995, dancing leading roles in ballets by Balanchine, Jerome Robbins, Peter Martins, Eliot Feld, and others.
Kozlova has guested with companies and in festivals around the world – Florence, London, Paris, Santiago, Hong Kong, and more – and can be seen starring in several dance videos. Following Glasnost, the ballerina was afforded a triumphant return to Moscow in 1991, dancing at the Kremlin Palace.
In 1995, Kozlova and Margo Sappington established the Daring Project, a ballet company dedicated to performing new works. During that time she also appeared in A Christmas Carol with Tony Randall and Ben Vereen.
In 2003, she opened her own ballet school in midtown Manhattan, and established herself as a major teacher of the traditional Russian Vaganova technique, and a coach of young dancers.

Design of an in situ-castable bioceramic bone tissue scaffold
Guzzo, Caitlin M
Bone defects are treated with bone grafts, replacing damaged or diseased bone tissue with either natural bone or bone substitutes. Synthetic graft materials, particularly bioactive glasses, have been developed to overcome the immunological and structural limitations of natural bone grafts. However, the success of bioactive glasses is limited by current approaches to fabrication of bioceramic scaffolds, of which no technique meets the design criteria for an ideal synthetic bone tissue scaffold; namely, formability, geometric stability, porosity, load-bearing capacity, bioactivity, and resorbability. To fulfil these design criteria, this work proposes a new approach to bioactive glass ceramic scaffold fabrication, producing an all-ceramic porous scaffold that can be cast in situ to repair bone defects. This ambient temperature and pressure process utilises a reaction with a liquid ceramic precursor to form a silicate-glass binder phase which consolidates bioactive glass frit. The resultant composite paste can be applied conformally to unique wound geometries before reacting with carbon dioxide gas to set into a rigid, load-bearing scaffold with an interconnected network of open pores. The effect of composition on the fulfilment of the design criteria was investigated via characterisation of the composite morphology, mechanical properties, and in vitro immersion response in simulated body fluid. It was shown that the composite scaffolds designed, produced, and analysed in this research fulfilled all established design criteria, signifying their potential success as bone tissue scaffolds.

Hey, for the third time!
So we're pretty much one round away from Cavs-Warriors III. Both the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors acted like Josh Brolin and treated their respective second round opponents like George Clooney to recreate that one scene from Hail, Caesar! With Golden State and Cleveland's respective dominance, the lack of competition and unpredictability has contributed to a rather boring postseason overall.
Thankfully, we were still able to get a bit more from the other two series thanks to the overtime classic between the Wizards-Celtics in Game 2 (where Isaiah Thomas went nuclear with 53 points) and Game 5 between the Rockets-Spurs that went down to the final minute (where Manu GINOBILIII!!!! drank from the fountain of youth).
Now we're down to the top 2 seeds of each conference dueling it out for a Finals berth, and we'll talk about how things should play out. But before we do that, let's look back at the teams that have fallen in Round 2.
Toronto Raptors: Masai Ujiri, president of the team, was able to acquire via trade two seasoned, defensive-minded players in Serge Ibaka and P.J. Tucker that could either help them get over the hump against Cleveland or battle them more effectively. The Raptors ended up getting swept. They did lose Kyle Lowry, their All-Star point guard, for games 3 and 4, but I doubt that even with Lowry healthy they would've stood a chance considering the way Cleveland was so dominant and Toronto was so disappointing.
I thought this series would make it to 6 games, similar to last year, but the Raptors weren't up to par, and their iso-offence was too easy to see coming and was therefore neutralized. This embarrassing loss will arguably lead to the franchise's most important offseason. With Lowry being a 31-year-old free agent with a history of getting hurt and not playing well in the playoffs, do you bring him back with a max-contract? Do you fire head coach, Dwane Casey, even though he's had back-to-back 50-win campaigns but has led an unimaginative offense? Do you blow the team up, even though you have DeMar DeRozan who just signed a huge contract last year and doesn't appear willing to go backward? Do you bring the whole gang back and remain in stasis? Ujiri has those questions, and a few more, to answer regarding this franchise.
Utah Jazz: Speaking of getting swept, even though the Jazz got walloped by the Warriors, their future is brighter than the Raptors. I was completely wrong as I had the Jazz pushing the Warriors to at least six games since I thought their stout defense and egalitarian offense would be a challenge. Turns out I forgot how terrifying Golden State + Kevin Durant truly is.
The Jazz are different from the Raps since they won 51 games, made back into the playoffs after years of being out, and won their first playoff series since 2010. Plus they have a system in place, an identity to bestow, a respected coach on top of one of the deeper teams containing promising, young talent. The problem is that they have some free agency questions to answer, chief among them being Gordon Hayward, their first-time All-Star, probably bolting to another team. Hayward's in a good position as he'll be coveted by contenders and teams flush with cash, but he can also stay with an up-and-coming team in Salt Lake City.
Washington Wizards: The Wiz fell short to the number 1 seeded Boston Celtics in the second round's lone 7-game series. Their star backcourt, consisting of All-Star John Wall and Bradley Beal, did what they could to take their team over the top, but their coach's questionable decisions and their lack of bench production were their downfalls as they couldn't keep up with the Celtics' depth and tough play.
The Wizards are in a weird position because while they possess one of the league's best backcourts, they don't necessarily have the assets to improve their team to make themselves a true contender. They'll simply have to bank on internal improvement and good injury luck to keep up with Boston and Cleveland for the foreseeable future.
I'll just say that the Rockets' showing in Game 6 was one of the most humiliating of the century, not just because it seemed like they quit from the opening tip, but because the Spurs were without Kawhi Leonard and Tony Parker, two of their best players, due to injury. And they were playing at home! And they lost by 39 points!! James Harden has to either have a spirited playoff run or win the championship, because he may never live this down.
It doesn't matter if he flirts with a triple-double throughout the 2017-18 season, people will be asking if he'll perform at an MVP-level night in and night out when May rolls around.
All right enough with the losers. On to the third round.
Beantown has to be in a tizzy right now. On Monday they clinched their first conference finals berth since 2012, on Tuesday they won the NBA Draft Lottery, and on Wednesday they'll be hosting Game 1 of said conference finals. Also, don't be surprised to see the Celts steal the first game from the Cavs as they're brimming with confidence and they're going against a Cavaliers team coming off of 9 days of rest.
It's weird to say that the first-seeded Celtics could "steal" a game ON THEIR OWN FLOOR, but that's how it goes when you're facing off against LeBron James, who's on the cusp of maybe going to his 7th straight Finals appearance. A well rested, fresh and motivated James is a nightmare for all, and Celtics head coach Brad Stevens will use everything at his disposal to dethrone the King.
Nobody can stop LeBron, but at least the Celts have guys like Jae Crowder, Marcus Smart and Jaylen Brown they can throw at him to try and slow LeBron down. Avery Bradley will be on Kyrie Irving duty, and he's more than capable for the job as he's one of the league's better perimeter defenders. The Celtics will have to put a big body on Kevin Love, because if they go small with Crowder or Gerald Green at the 4, Love and the Cavs will exploit that matchup as they've done before in these playoffs.
Boston seems to have gotten better in the last month, but they don't bring that A+ effort every game. It's hard, but that's what it's going to take to defeat Cleveland. I believe the Cavaliers will take the Celtics more seriously than their previous opponent, but I'm pretty sure they feel they're way better than Boston. The Celtics will compete and play the Cavaliers tough, but they sadly don't stand much of a chance. Maybe Markelle Fultz or Lonzo Ball will help next year.
Watching the Spurs burst out of the gates in Game 1 to take a 20-point lead at Oracle Arena against the Warriors was not only remarkable, but it made you think even for a split second,"Could the Spurs realistically win this series if they steal this game??" And then, Zaza Pachulia stepped under Kawhi Leonard — who was torching the Dubs with 26 points on 7-13 shooting from the field and 11-11 from the free throw line — and Leonard sprained his ankle. The very same ankle he sprained a minute before Pachulia's contest and the same ankle sprain that forced him out of Game 6 of the previous round.
The Warriors came back because no lead is safe and then Steph Curry turned into Chef Curry in the 3rd quarter, then Kevin Durant basically into "FINISH HIM!" mode in the closing quarter. (Again, THE WARRIORS HAVE STEPH CURRY AND KEVIN DURANT ON THE SAME DAMN TEAM!!) Then in Game 2, the Warriors blew the Spurs out to no one's surprise as San Antonio were missing their best player, Kawhi Leonard.
The sad thing is that it would've been much harder for Golden State to complete their Game 1 comeback had Leonard never been injured. The Spurs caught the Dubs off guard, jumped on their throats early, and were en route to an impressive victory. In Game 2, it's like you could tell from San Antonio's body language that they knew they had no chance of winning.
The Warriors are the favorite because they're that scary and that good, but it would've been a much more interesting series if Kawhi never went down as it appeared the Golden State had no answer for him and Kawhi was playing with supreme confidence. The Spurs might get a game because Coach Popovich is that good, but the Dubs' antennas are up now. They've shaken off the rust and are ready to take care of business.

When Strippers Attack
Howard explained that the best time to visit Scores is between 2-3 a.m., because that's when the girls have been drinking for hours and really start to open up. As an example, Howard played a clip of Ronnie having an early-morning argument with a drunken dancer for an upcoming show that will air on his channel. During the clip, one dancer accused Ronnie of having both a small and a curved penis, while also claiming that he didn't have the clout to get her fired. Ronnie then came into the studio and explained that the whole episode started when the dancer told him that she wanted to get fired and that he jokingly told her he could arrange for it if she wanted him to do so. From the sound of this clip, the Scores Girl RoundTable show should be a hit – stay tuned.
