Blockchain is a new technology for performing transactions, often compared to the Internet which revolutionized the way one shares/sees Information. It was first conceptualized by an anonymous person or group of person known as Satoshi Nakamoto in 2008. A Blockchain, in the simplest definition, is a ledger of transaction from the time of its genesis. Transaction is any transfer of a tangible/non-tangible asset within the people associated with that Blockchain. Bitcoin is just one of the many application whose core technology is Blockchain.In most of the transaction, there are three parties involved: the sender, the receiver, and the trusted verifier whose role is to verify that the transaction has actually taken place. For instance, one transfer money via bank through cheque, by money wallet; or one lease out a property after performing certain kind of paperwork implying Government as a trusted authority. A Blockchain removes the necessity for a third party to verify the transaction. This also implies that the Blockchain is robust to fraudster and fraudulent transactions.A Blockchain, visually or programmatically, is nothing but a chain of blocks where each block is a set of transactions. Every block contains information such as current timestamp, a link to the previous block and the next block, a collection of valid transactions during the time period between the formation of previous block and current block. Its network consist of working nodes called miners, whose main work is to create new blocks. These new blocks are joined in a single, continuous, authorative record called Block Chain. Whenever a new transaction takes place, it then propagates to the peers of the originating node and so on, till it exists with the whole network. Now the miners' job is to validate the transaction and create the block by collecting a set of transactions. Creating a block is computationally expensive cryptographically challenging task. Once such a new block is created it is added to the chain and is then transferred back to the whole network. The other receiving nodes in the network adds the block to the existing ledger after validating the block. If one were to alter any transaction in a fraudulent way which had already taken place, they would have to find a new block that would include that transaction to fit the chain. If the current block to be computed in the network is at number 88, and the altered transaction block was 79, then the person will have to find 9 (79-87) more blocks to make a valid blockchain and pass it to the peer network. This is theoretically possible but is not in real world since finding block is not an easy task, making blockchain an ever increasing, irreversible, secure and public ledgerBitcoin, a very popular digital currency, relies on Blockchain. Applications of Blockchain is not limited to digital currency, it can be used to create smart contracts that execute on fulfilling a certain criteria (ex. Ethereum), for instantaneous peer-to-peer transaction without third parties (ex. In stock trading, property trading, patents), etcTo conclude, Block Chain is a distributed ledger of important transactions stored on a decentralized peer-to-peer network which is incorruptible due to high computation costs of blocks making it irreversible creating a trustworthy network to transact removing the need of middleman.

In this whole wide world, where we are engulfed by the modern age technology , we tend to forget that is not a substitute for Grandma's stories. We develop this ideology that the most valuable things are inevitably materialistic. Our mindsets are inflicted upon this idea and we forget that presents cannot buy presence. Technology has taken over the current situation. We stand in the middle of an era where we have Netflix on the tips of our fingers and Swiggying is the new cool. Technology is like that attractive magnetic pole to which we are iron nails disguised in the dust of development and modernization. On one hand it offers irresistible devices, and Mark Zuckerberg is our new hero, it is also an addition to our lives that has grappled our throats and choked us from within. Technology at its very best is an idyllic tool which is in every way a priceless possession to us. Yet it is high time that we rise from our lives barred by technology, and make judicious use of it. We are busy making connections worldwide but reckless we are to bother about the people we connect with for a lifetime. We have developed the way of life with standards set by Instagram posts and Google is our life guide. We are surrounded by lashes of social media and Google is our 2 am friend. Our lives, to be more specific have 'technologized' and it is not that there are no perks of this so called elixir of human life. It exposes us to the world watching us with watchful antagonism. It is a window to the world we desire to be a part of. We are no less than modified creations who have adopted technology in every realm. In this so called paradox called life, we are lost in the chaotic streets of technology, where Google and Face book reside, that we miss on the little things in life. And any person who thinks small things don't matter, has not seen a match start a wildfire. We are building tall buildings, but our minds are narrow. We talk about development in the name of technology, but our values have certainly diminished. Unnerved by the amount of time we devote to technology oriented activities, we are in the want of something more. But at the cost of what? But let us not forget how technology has given us the tag of the modern man. Let us remember the times it has sorted ways and hardships in life. All this can be accepted only if we don't get abolished from our roots, which is the base of our existence. Let us embrace technology as an assistance, rather than a bossy fellow who indeed has conquered our lives and harnesses the very essence of it. We shall never forget the popularization of PubG and Fortnite, all credits to our very own tech based lives, due to which our studies reduced to being acknowledged once in a fortnight, and also the Wikipedia posts we have always relied on, or has Quora taken over that position? I am in the middle of a dilemma in this fussy world encompassing of Pinterest in the heart and Google within the soul. Let us wake up to the situation and resist constant dependence on technology. Let us not completely despise ourselves. Afterall, Byju's will be our eternal ally whenever disguised obstacles in the name of Maths hit our way. We as humans have accepted technology and have adjusted according to the acceptable conditions of it as well. It is high time we put in arduous efforts and restrain ourselves from this very a developing addiction. Nonetheless, no matter how extensively we try to change ourselves, we will have this medium called technology, always by our side. After all, we are humans.

There are hundreds ofthousands of small and medium sized businesses operating across the country today. Each business, no matter how many employees they have, will have a long list of health and safety responsibilities to manage, and the list can grow in length as the business grows and expands over the years.What a lot of businesses fail to recognise is that what Health & Safety system worked for them in the very early days of their company may not be fit for purpose now, some years further down the line.Small and medium sized businesses currently employ around one third of the workforce, and that is a huge burden of responsibility to manage, especially when you have the safety of your staff at risk if you fail in your duties to keep them safe at work.Don't underestimate your H&S plans and policiesCompany owners need to make their occupational health and safety policies and procedures a high priority. However, this doesn't mean they need to simply set and forget their policies and never revisit or review them over the next few years.The average workplace can be an ever-evolving place that sees a steady turnover of staff and new practices adopted as technology, machinery and equipment moves on. This is why it is important to schedule regular Health & Safety risk assessment and make amendments to company H&S policies as the face of the workplace changes.Neglecting staff Health & Safety training and failing to update their knowledge and skills with the latest HSE policy changes and compliance requirements can lead to serious risks in the workplace for accidents and injuries. These risks can often be identified and addressed to prevent accidents and injuries before it becomes too late.Using Health & Safety SoftwareYou can save yourself a lot of time and effort by using modern, cutting-edge Health & Safety Management Software to record and implement H&S processes and procedures to help keep your company fully compliant and up to date with new health and safety legislation.Effective planning and implementation of health and safety measures through using an cloud-based H&S software solution can help you save a lot of precious time and money. Using good-quality H&S software can enable you to run risk assessments, analyse data and implement changes that remove hazards and risks before they happen.This can be of great benefit to business owners because preventing accidents in the workplace before they happen by investing in good health and safety software is far cheaper than managing a real-life incident after it has occurred. Accident avoidance through taking preventative measures is a far better path to take than a costly clean-up post-incident.The Health and Safety Executive encourages all business owners, no matter what size, to implement an effective health & safety system that covers accident and injury prevention. Failure to do so can mean that you company is not meeting all of it's legal health and safety obligations, and your company could be in like for some very severe financial penalties should your business be found in breach of government H&S directives.

Importance:How oxygen,food & water are essential for our survival same way celebration of national festival is essential for our existance in this world. It fulfill us with patriotism whichbring along a spirit of love and devotion for the country also National Festival strengthen the social relations and communications which leads to unity among people and also bring us more closer to our nation which is helpful in promoting the national harmony. Independence Day, 15th August celebration is a way to remind the people about our hard earned freedom and that we must respect and value it more. It inspires people to stay united and serve the country in every possible way. It is a day to celebrate the true spirit of freedom.  It is of great importance to all the Indian citizens, thus everyone actively participates in the national festival celebration every year. Independence Day reminds us of the heroic deeds of our leaders and freedom fighters who helped us attain freedom. This is  the main reason why we celebrate our national festivals with pride and love for our country. If our brave freedom fighters would not have been sacrificed we would not have even been able to breathe freely in our country. Forget about the national festival celebration  our revered religious festivals would also not have been possible. On this day : India celebrates three National Festivals – Independence Day, Republic Day and Gandhi Jayanti. We the citizens of India celebrate these festivals with full fervour. For India, 15 August is a golden day of her re-birth, a new start. At the midnight of 15 August 1947, the British rulers handed the country back to its Indian leaders, ending a remarkable 200 years old struggle and India became a sovereign nation. Independence Day is celebrated by every citizen of India irrespective of caste, creed and religion.The Prime Minister of India hoists the Indian National Flag from Red Fort every year. This is followed by 21 gun shots to salute and honour the Indian flag and solemn occasion. The Prime Minister then addresses the citizens of the country. Numerous events are organized in various places throughout the country in entire atmosphere is infused with love and devotion for the country.  Many educational institutes also organize kite flying competitions which is also a way of expressing the  freedom.    We honour these noble souls by singing songs and poems in their praise. It is a great site to see little children dressed up as various freedom fighters on this day. In short, every person in the country revels in the nationalistic pride.Several cities in the United States have declared 15 August as 'India Day'.Relevance :In present scenario it is very much relevent because it reminds us and repicturise the secrifices of our freedom fighters which inspire us to maintain our freedom and do our best for our motherland . Patriotism doesn't require a special date or occasion to express itself. The only thing needed is that we should have immense amount of love and respect for our country. We should not confined patriotism to these selected days only and national festival celebration doesn't only mean flag hoisting, singing our national anthem and participating in competition on subjects of nationality but it will be worth celebrating if practically we take care of everything like plantation,garbage cleaning, recycling,rejuvenating our mother rivers ,protecting our forests , providing healthy and encouraging environment to growing children, respecting our elders, maximum utilisation of renewable energy resources.If through out the year we do all these definitely we will feel proud while flag hoisting and that will be real tribute to our revered freedom fighters. During our freedom fighter's time Britishers were our biggest and worst enemy but in today's scenario corruption,poverty, environment problems and many more big issues are our worst enemies which we have to eradicate. When we remember our national heroes, their working policies it guides us in dealing present crisis.So it is very much relevant to celebrate our national festivals because it invokes the feeling of patriotism in the people of our country and inspire them to become soldier. Our heroes ideology leads us  on every step and inspire us to work towards its betterment and development and also gives  a sense of belonging and a responsibility towards our country. Many questions arise in our citizens mind like- Has India's growth happened in real sense? India is independent in manufacturing and producing many technical and industrial goods. We can take pride in the space technology and development in this field. But growth of any country is this all about? all these growth  matter less until all the problems related to humanity is solved in real sense. Like this question arise in every citizen's mind and live example of this is mushrooming NGOs in india which are crusaders of humanity. To encourage them and motivate them several awards are there for such crusader in  India. Do we really love our country? If it would have been true our news papers would not have been filled more than 50% with demotivating news. Whenever we celebrate independence day this question arise in every citizen's mind and force them to do conscious efforts towards positive growth of our beloved country.Celebrating independence day don't allow us to divert from our right path but encourage us to take up new resolution every year  for our motheland's real growth. I feel proud to be Indian because our country has taught us that the meaning of life is not only to live but live with dignity, respect others rights and understand own duties and responsibilities.                                        JAI HIND !

A Stolen Vote, A Sleeping Court, And A Busy Governor
Timing, they say, is everything. There are no coincidences. Things happen when they do for a reason. Thus the conspiratorial mind reckons. Those of more sober disposition acknowledge the great god Chaos. His method is chance. Life simply happens. We make such meaning of it as we can. Conspiracy theorists and pragmatists rarely see eye to eye on the meaning of events.
So what governs the curious timing of the General Assembly's attempt to retroactively bless the state's takeover of the Bridgeport schools and the Supreme Court's apparent failure to act? Is it chance? Or is it a sign of deeper, more opaque forces?
Let's review some historic facts.
In the summer of 2011, the state board of education replaced the locally elected board members in Bridgeport with appointees hand-selected by the executive branch. This coup was undertaken under cloak of a statute reposing such a right in the state subject to certain mandatory conditions. One of those conditions was that local board members be offered training on how best to perform their work by the state before they were deposed by executive fiat.
The Bridgeport board was deposed without this training. A majority of the board tried to vote itself out of existence, a move unprecedented in the state. Rather than resigning, the malefactors decided that they would sink the board entirely, if they could get away with it. Three board members struck back, filing suit in state court to retain their seats as elected officials. I represent two of the board members.
We argued before the state Supreme Court in October that there was not even nominal compliance with the training requirement. No one disagreed with this assessment at oral argument. The members of the high court were presented with excerpts from the legislative history in which lawmakers made clear that this requirement of training before any coup attempt was fundamental. The state lamely argued that elected officials could waive their right and duty to fill an office to which they were elected.
"Any word from the Supreme Court on the Bridgeport school case?," a judge asked me not long ago. "I don't get it," he replied, when I told him the court was as silent as a tyrant's tomb. "The case looked like a no-brainer."
It sure looked that way to me.
But I was representing ordinary people against the state and the well-heeled private interests who were pushing the coup in Bridgeport. The state's press corp has been strangely quiet on the institutional affiliations of those appointed to take over from the elected officials. There's hedge fund money at play, and funds generated from the Walmart fortune at work. Big money and big government will crush a little guy any chance they get.
So the Supreme Court sits for months on a decision about whether the vote matters. When folks asked about it, I used to make excuses. The court has a busy docket. There are other cases, I used to say. Then it dawned on. Maybe the court is going to sit on this decision for so long that the case becomes moot. Wait long enough, and my clients' term in office will be expired. I was saying that last week.
Then a reporter called to ask what I thought about a proposal tucked away in an education bill pending before the General Assembly. Mid-way through a massive piece of legislation is language that would eliminate the requirement for training. It would do so retroactively. If the bill passes, then the case does become moot. It's called changing the rules of the game when you don't like the outcome.
Is the Supreme Court's passivity and failure to act in this case a mere coincidence? Oh, what questions the conspiring mind poses.
Hartford is a small town. The chief justice, the governor and one of the governor's point men, Andrew McDonald, a former legislative leader, all come from the Gold Coast; is this Fairfield County politics as usual? Could it be that the three branches of government are coordinating this? I shudder at the thought of an independent judiciary sitting on a decision so that the executive and legislative branches can "fix" a problem by means of some after-the-fact tomfoolery. Former Chief Justice William Sullivan got his knuckles rapped for withholding publication of a controversial decision to benefit his chosen successor. If a decision on a case were pocket-vetoed by the high court for political reasons on a matter as fundamental to a republic as a stolen vote, something far more than a knuckle-rapping would be in order. Perhaps it's time for an inquiry by the Judiciary Committee.
Chief Justice Chase Rogers has made much of trying to restore public trust in the courts with one commission after another. Her work runs the risk of being squandered now. Are we to be asked to believe that the delay in rendering a decision about a stolen vote, together with a legislative fix designed to serve the agenda of a governor hell-bent on privatizing schools, is a mere coincidence?
I make my living in the courts of this state. So I have a deep-seated need to believe that the courts, and the judges who staff them, are fair and reasonable. Events in Hartford during the past week challenge that belief.
Today marks the 120th day since the case was argued before the Connecticut Supreme Court. Lower court judges are rule-bound to issue decisions within that period. Of course, there are no rules in the Supreme Court. That court can do what it wants, when it wants.
Does the Supreme Court want in this instance to do the governor a favor? Is it ignoring a case about a stolen vote while the administration tries to paper over the problem with a legislative fix? It looks that way from afar. Lord Chaos? Perhaps. Or perhaps something darker and harder to discover.
Timing is everything. In this case, the timing stinks.

So long a forgotten dream
Well for those of us who were looking for a Dave Richards/Honda redux…the wait has produced sour frowns and a discord that can only be felt somewhere in the midsection around the naval.
For all of its seeming glory and a return of the only man to have led Honda to a quasi-successful season; the dream is gone. The wait is over. The 8-ball has shook.
Dave Richards has announced that he is ruling out buying the BBF1 team due to the outrageous costs.
"All I can say is that I have made it very clear that the only terms (under which) I would ever consider a return or an involvement was if I felt we could be competitive – and nobody expects to win in their first year of Formula One," he said on the main Autosport stage.
"It has also got to be financially viable. You expect to (have to) invest but you also expect it to work. I just personally feel that the current environment is too unsettled.
"The cost-cutting process that has been put in place has not yet seen its full benefit, and I don't think it will be until 2010 that you will see those issues roll out properly. The teams have still got a burden of overhead that is unsustainable. So consequently, with the window of time for entry, I just question whether it is right at the moment."

I want to tell you about the very exciting opportunity The Silk Thumb had at the end of last year. We have recently worked with Chicago's Interior Designer and HGTV Host, Tiffany Brooks, on a few projects in 2015. After a job well done Tiffany asked me if I would like to be involved with The 2016 HGTV Smart Home. Tiffany was the chosen interior designer to decorate the whole home from top to bottom and she wanted The Silk Thumb to design and install all the plants and trees for the home.
For those of you who do not know about the HGTV Smart Homes series, each year a new state of the art home is built and one person is chosen from a Sweepstakes to win the ENTIRE home! This year the home was built in Raleigh, North Carolina and is the most advanced home in HGTV history. The winner will be announced this July! The winner receives the 3,300 square foot 1.2 million dollar ultra modern home and all it's decor…including OUR plants!
In January I flew out to Raleigh to install our silk plants, flowers and trees throughout the home including both the large covered porch and screened in porch. Our plants were a smashing success! Tiffany was thrilled with the abundance of color and quality we delivered. Our ferns flank the doorway to the home and create splashes of color at every corner.
We are so pleased and excited about the exposure this will bring to The Silk Thumb! Showing the nation the quality of our products and craftsmanship of our designs.
HGTV will be airing the HGTV Smart Home and giving you a tour. Tune in to see our greenery on TV!

Claimants with Denied Disability Benefit Claims Get Extra Time to Appeal due to COVID-19
by Michelle L. Roberts
On April 28, 2020, the U.S. Department of Labor's Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA) issued deadline relief and other guidance under Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) to help, among other groups, disability plan participants who are impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, also referred to as the coronavirus outbreak.
The Department of Labor, Department of the Treasury, and the Internal Revenue Service issued a joint notice explaining the extension of time frames for healthcare coverage, portability, and continuation of group health plan coverage under COBRA, and time frames to file a benefit claim or appeal of denied claims. They also issued COVID-19 FAQs for Participants and Beneficiaries that address a number of common questions concerning health and retirement benefits.
The final rule published by EBSA and submitted to the Office of the Federal Register (OFR) for publication contains information of the extension of certain timeframes under ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code for group health plans, disability and other welfare plans, pension plans, and participants and beneficiaries of these plans during the COVID-19 National Emergency.
We have received many inquiries from clients with denied short-term and long-term disability benefit claims because the pandemic has resulted in many cancelled or postponed doctor appointments. Ordinarily, an ERISA plan administrator must give a claimant at least 180 days to submit an appeal of a denied disability claim. But as shelter-in-place orders took effect in mid-March, claimants with denied claims have endured more than six weeks (and counting) of not being able to get non-emergency treatment. In some situations, this has presented hurdles in getting evidence to submit with an appeal.
The final rule provides relief for claimants in this exact situation. It extends the date under the ERISA regulations within which individuals may file a benefit claim under the plan's claims procedure and the date within which claimants may file an appeal of an adverse benefit determination under the plan's claims procedure. Specifically, all disability plans must disregard the period from March 1, 2020 until sixty days after the announced end of the National Emergency or such other date that may be announced in a future notice (the "Outbreak Period").
Based on an example in the final rule, below is an illustration of how the extension impacts the internal appeals process. For purposes of this example, we will assume that the National Emergency ends on April 30, 2020, with the Outbreak Period ending on June 29, 2020 (60 days following the end of the National Emergency).
Jane Doe received a denial letter from Cigna (Life Insurance Company of North America) dated January 28, 2020. Cigna informed her that she must file an appeal within 180 days of the date that she received the letter. What is Ms. Doe's appeal deadline?
When determining her appeal due date, the "Outbreak Period" is disregarded. Therefore, Ms. Doe's last day to submit an appeal is November 24, 2020. To get to this date she takes the 180 days and subtracts 32 days. This is because from January 28 (date of denial) to March 1 (declaration of National Emergency), she had 32 days to prepare her appeal. That leaves a balance of 148 days. She then adds 148 days after June 29, 2020 to get to November 24, 2020. In this scenario, as long as Ms. Doe submits her appeal by November 24, 2020, Cigna must accept it as timely.
This extra time will greatly assist many claimants who are unable to visit their doctors in person. However, if you have a denied claim, it is important that you consult with a knowledgeable ERISA attorney about your rights. The employee benefit attorneys at Kantor & Kantor, LLP have helped thousands of disability claimants secure their benefits.

Keeping old records?
Make Text Bigger
Hi all, whilst getting myself organised regarding the new GDPR regulations, it's got me thinking about all the information I still hold for previous tenants. Eg, old tenancy agreements, notices etc and I still have details on DPS for previous deposits I have lodged.
Does anyone have any ideas on how long we should be keeping records such as these, relating to previous tenants. I don't want to start deleting things and then be told I should have kept it for 5, 7, 10 years!
Hi Ashleigh,
You should not keep records for any longer than they are still useful for the purpose that they were taken for. However, some records will be required to be kept for HMRC so it is worth checking with your accountant what you would need to produce in case of an audit.

Remember when the West Brom Mortgage Company illegally upped their rates and Mark thankfully beat them in the High Court, costing them £27 million?
Well, it became very useful at that time to have retained old paperwork from years previously. We shouldn't have needed to do that. But none of us expected the West Brom thieves to do what they did. I'm sure the old paperwork helped to prove that they were liars.
Hence I NEVER dispose of old previously important paperwork. You can never be sure when it might become useful again.
Archive it for peace of mind.

Neal is right. As I understand it, the records you're entitled to keep (the data) containing tenants (data subjects) personal information, is determined by the purpose (which are covered under six gateways; all six gateways are listed here).
For most small landlords, the main gateways will be contractual (that is the, tenancy agreement) and legal (for example, the legal requirement to carry out right to rent checks). A tenant's consent would only be required if their data was to be used for a purpose beyond the other five gateways (consent is a gateway), sent outside the EU (which includes being stored electronically on servers outside the EEA - check with your email, mobile and cloud storage providers), passed to a any other party that may not be GDPR compliant, or held for longer than necessary.
The length of time data can be stored is again determined by the gateway - that is, the reason it is being held.
For the contractual gateway, data relating to tenancy applicants should only be held until a tenant is chosen and the tenancy agreement is signed. Data relating to an ongoing tenancy is self explanatory, but data needs to be held after a tenancy until a deposit is settled, or arrears or damage resolved, which brings us to the legal gateway.
The legal gateway is right to rent, HMRC, and possibly litigation against a landlord for non protection of the deposit or any other matter a landlord may have reason to believe legal action could be taken.
For right to rent, data must be kept for a year after the tenancy ends. For HMRC, at least 8 years, and for litigation, six years from the event (for example, six years from payment of the deposit, not start of the tenancy).
To sum up, data can be SECURELY held without the subject's explicit consent provided the reason is covered by at least one gateway; only data related to that purpose is kept, and the data is not passed to a third party that is not specifically related to the purpose or a non GDPR compliant party without the subject's informed consent.

Hi Mandy
I agree about the time limits for retaining data for the purposes you've mentioned, e.g. HMRC, litigation, etc, BUT it needs to be remembered that the DWP and LA's Housing Benefit Depts, can recover money paid to landlords indefinitely, so if the data you hold may be needed to defend or counter any Benefit recovery action, then it could be legitimate to hold the data indefinitely!
- This kind of goes against the whole ethos of GDPR, but until such time as the Government puts limitation periods on recovery of overpaid benefits, then there is certainly an argument that it may be legitimate for a landlord to continue holding personal data that may be needed to refute possible future HB overpayment claims (or DWP overpayment claims, if landlord gets Third Party Payments).
Everyone has a point but I keep data to avoid inadvertently letting to a bad tenant for a second time. I need to keep this data indefinitely to protect my business as does every landlord. How does this sit with GDPR?
Reply to the comment left by David Price at 01/05/2018 - 18:19
David - I believe you would have a good argument that you are pursuing your "legitimate interests" which is one of the gateways, though I think you might need to demonstrate you'd evicted the tenant or the tenant was in serious breach of the previous agreement.
Reply to the comment left by Robert Mellors at 01/05/2018 - 12:32
Robert, again, I believe in the example you've given you could argue legitimate interests and possibly legal obligation.
8:05 AM, 2nd May 2018
What about the list of individuals which I would be happy to have as my tenants again? A surprisingly large number come back having experienced other landlords. Then there are the rare occasions where I am asked for a reference for a tenant who left ten years before, I had one such request this week.
I believe that HMRC have the power to go back 20 if they suspect fraud, how could I possibly defend myself without all my historical records?
Rhetorical questions for I do not believe that anyone has all the answers yet, points to ponder. My point is that without adequate and comprehensive records landlords cannot run their businesses properly.
This is how I understand it.
It's not about letting people evade justice or get out of paying debt, it's to stop people's data from being compromised and to stop spamming, junk mail and any other ads (especially online) they haven't actively consented to.
As long as you have a good reason to hold that data, i.e. it's to protect your own or another party's interest, you're legally obliged to keep it or it's necessary to carry out a contract or they've given their consent if none of those apply, and you follow the GDPR and protect that data, it's fine.
However, where right to rent is concerned, I can see why you would want to destroy copies of someone's passport or other records that relates only to that as soon as possible, as the potential exists for ID theft if that were to fall into the wrong hands.

I asked an RLA trainer this same question David as we do the same thing. I was told that the past tenant could legitimately claim that they had changed since their past tenancy was so long ago and that their current behaviour/credit history should speak for their current position; and that keeping old tenants records past 6 years couldn't realistically be justified. Just a point from the position of the 'devils advocate'.

Bei den Nordischen Skiweltmeisterschaften 1954 kam es bei den Langlaufbewerben der Frauen zu folgenden Einzelergebnissen:

10 km

Datum: 21. Februar 1954

Teilnehmer: 43 genannt; 42 gestartet; 2 gewertet;

Weltmeisterin 1952:

Die 42 Läuferinnen starteten bereits, als die Herren auf ihren 50 Kilometern noch unterwegs waren. Das Rennen entwickelte sich zu einem schweren Kampf zwischen den sowjetischen und den finnischen Teilnehmerinnen. Kosyrewa ging auf der ersten Streckenhälfte klar in Führung und distanzierte Maslennikowa um 25, Rantanen um 40 und Leontjewa um 45 Sekunden. Rantanen und Hietamies holten aber stark auf, so dass Kosyrewa hart kämpfen musste, um den Sieg zu retten.

3 × 5 km Staffel

Datum: 17. Februar 1954

Neu im Weltmeisterschafts-Programm

Es starteten 7 Nationen zum ersten Staffel-Titelkampf der Frauen. Den Dreierteams wurde eine mittelschwere Strecke vorgesetzt, die aber bei dem großen Einsatz auf einer relativ kurzen Distanz doch große Anforderungen stellte. Fast bis aufs Zielband wogte ein scharfes Duell zwischen der UdSSR und Finnland. Die Finninnen gingen in Führung, die zweite russische Läuferin gelangte an die Spitze und die Schlussläuferin konnte den Vorsprung für die Sowjetunion auf 25 Sekunden noch ausbauen.

Tomi Lahren and Chelsea Handler will face off in a live debate this month
According to The Daily Beast, conservative pundit Tomi Lahren and liberal comedian Chelsea Handler take part in a live debate later his month at Politicon.
The convention, which is going into its third year, will be held in Pasadena, California this July 20-30. Also featured will be a discussion between Handler and CNN's Jake Tapper for his Politics on Tap series.
From The Daily Beast:
Handler, who previously hosted the celebrity-driver Chelsea Lately on E!, has become an increasingly political critic of President Donald Trump since launching her Netflix show Chelsea last spring, leading the Women's March at Sundance and regularly hammering the current administration on a weekly basis. In September 2016, she planned a showdown with another prominent female conservative, Ann Coulter, who canceled at the last minute.
Let's do this. https://t.co/MYhdRXvaRq
— Tomi Lahren (@TomiLahren) July 5, 2017
In April of this year, Lahren sued Glenn Beck and his media outlet The Blaze for "wrongful termination" when she was fired as a commentator after making comments on The View that suggested she supported abortion rights. "I can't sit here and be a hypocrite and say I'm for limited government but I think the government should decide what women do with their bodies," Lahren said on The View back in March.

Joan of Arc - Jeanne d'Arc (1412 - 1431)
Saint of the Roman Catholic church and French national heroine.
Jeanne d'Arc 1412-1431 This web project is specific related to Jeanne d'Arc, also known as Joan of Arc, born January 6th, 1412, burned as a heretic, May 30th, 1431, canonised as a saint, May 16th, 1920 Saint and heretic, savior... Jeanne d'Arc (1412-1431) Guided by what she thought were divine voices
Jeanne revived French fortunes in the Hundred Years' War. (1337–1453)
An intermittent struggle between England and France in the 14th–15th century. Only 19 years old Jeanne d'Arc (1412-1431) On May 30, 1431 she was burned at the stake as a witch, only 19 years old. Almost immediately it was recognized that rather than being a witch she had been in fact a true agent of God.
Over the centuries her popularity grew until in 1920 she was canonized as a saint by Pope Benedict XV. Girl and soldier Jeanne d'Arc (1412-1431) Since the time of her death, Jeanne has inspired thousands of historians, poets, and painters. Each of them tells a different story. Jeanne d'Arc entered history during the spring of 1429 Jeanne d'Arc (1412-1431) In obedience to what she said was the command of God, Jeanne inspired the Dauphin's armies in a series of stunning military victories which lifted the siege of Orleans and destroyed a large percentage of the remaining English forces at the battle of Patay, reversing the course of the Hundred Years' War. The Dauphin - Charles VII - was crowned a few months later at Reims. Condemned and Canonized Jeanne d'Arc (1412-1431) The only figure in history ever to be both condemned and canonized by the Catholic Church. Breaking the siege of Orléans Jeanne d'Arc (1412-1431) She played a major (and somewhat mysterious) role in rallying the flagging forces of Charles VII against the English occupier in 1429, leading her troops to breaking the siege of Orléans and having Charles VII officially crowned king in Reims the same year. Works about her Jeanne d'Arc (1412-1431) Jeanne d'Arc has been a popular figure to depict in the culture since the time of her death and many famous writers, filmmakers and composers who have created works about her. Legendary figure Jeanne d'Arc (1412-1431) Jeanne became a semi-legendary figure for the four centuries after her death. Brave, gentle, merciful, courteous, kind, and loyal. "relapsed, heretic & excommunicate" Chronicles Jeanne d'Arc (1412-1431) The main sources of information about her were chronicles. Five original manuscripts of her condemnation trial surfaced in old archives during the 19th century. Since her death Jeanne d'Arc (1412-1431) The people who came after her in the five centuries since her death tried to make everything of her: demonic fanatic, spiritual mystic, naive and tragically ill-used tool of the powerful, creator and icon of modern popular nationalism, adored heroine, saint. Divine calling Jeanne d'Arc (1412-1431) She insisted, even when threatened with torture and faced with death by fire, that she was guided by voices from God. Voices or no voices, her achievements leave anyone who knows her story shaking his head in amazed wonder. Cultural works Jeanne d'Arc (1412-1431) Jeanne d'Arc has inspired artistic and cultural works for nearly six centuries. Portrayals of Jeanne d'Arc are numerous. For example, in 1979 the Bibliothèque Municipale in Rouen, France held a gallery containing over 500 images Documented Jeanne d'Arc (1412-1431) The life of Jeanne d'Arcis one of the best documented of her era. This is especially remarkable when one considers that she was not an aristocrat, but instead was a very young peasant girl. The Trial of Condemnation Jeanne d'Arc (1412-1431) One of the most significant and moving trials ever conducted in human history. Of no other trial of the fifteenth century have we a report approaching this in detail and accuracy. In February 1431, a trial began against her in which she was condemned as a witch. On 30 May 1431, she died at the stake on the Place du Vieux Marché in Rouen. The Battle of Orléans Jeanne d'Arc (1412-1431) Jeanne proved herself to the king after winning the battle of Orleans, and was promoted in her conquest to save France from England. Considered to be one of the most decisive battles in history. Convicted of witchcraft Jeanne d'Arc (1412-1431) Jeanne was convicted of witchcraft and fraud, and condemned to the grounds of insisting to wear male clothing. She was burned at the stake at Rouen's Old Market Square only 19 years old, but should have been spared if she would wear appropriate women's clothing
Although she was excommunicated and burned at the stake for heresy by local officials in 1431, central Church officials would later nullify her excommunication, declaring her a martyr unjustly executed for a secular vendetta. Her legend would grow from there, leading to her beatification in 1909 and her canonization in 1920. The details of the life of Jeanne d'Arc form a biography which is unique among the world's biographies in one respect: It is the only story of a human life which comes to us under oath, the only one which comes to us from the witness-stand.

The role she played in the Hundred Years' War.
This war started, with interruptions, from 1337-1453, and began as a dynastic conflict between the English and French royal houses which both laid claim to the French throne. Initially this war went badly for France; the Dauphin, later King Charles VII, had to withdraw for safety to the Castle of Chinon from the English and their allies, the Burgundians. In 1429, the country lass Jeanne d'Arc, managed to reach him at the castle, led by divine inspiration. This started her military successes: with a small army she marched on Orleans which she managed to rid of the English.
Her success was a powerful momentum for French national consciousness. New successes at Patay and Reims followed. The performance of the Pucelle (Virgin) d' Orleans led to a change in the war in favour of the French. It culminated in the coronation of Charles VII in Reims cathedral on 17 July 1429, in which Jeanne d'Arc held her standard above Charles's head. A complete English defeat seemed unavoidable, but the siege of Paris in September failed, due to lack of the necessary means. In May 1430, she fell into the hands of the Burgundians, who delivered her to the English. In February 1431, a trial began against her in which she was condemned as a witch.
On 30 May 1431, she died at the stake on the Place du Vieux Marché in Rouen.

Sixteenth-century France made her a national heroine.
The men of subsequent centuries took her story for their plays and poems, her image for their statues. She became the spirit of France, the maiden, the holy warrior, the Republican and Napoleonic symbol for opposition to the English and for those who would protect France from foreign domination. In the Second World War Charles de Gaulle used her standard, the Cross of Lorraine, as the symbol of Free France. In 1920 she was canonized as a saint by Pope Benedict XV.
Cultural depictions of Jeanne d'Arc
Jeanne d'Arc has inspired artistic and cultural works for nearly six centuries. Portrayals of Jeanne d'Arc are numerous. For example, in 1979 the Bibliothèque Municipale in Rouen, France held a gallery containing over 500 images and other items related to Jeanne d'Arc and Schiller's play inspired at least 82 different dramatic works during the nineteenth century, and Verdi's and Tchaikovsky's operatic adaptations are still recorded and performed. Most of the others survive only in research libraries.
As another example, in 1894, Émile Huet listed over 400 plays and musical works about Jeanne d'Arc. Despite a great deal of scholarly interest in Jeanne d'Arc no complete list of artistic works about her exists, although a 1989 doctoral dissertation did identify all relevant films including ones for which no copy survives.

"We declare you of right excommunicate and heretic, being stubborn and obstinate in your crimes, excesses and errors; and we pronounce it meet to abandon you to the secular justice as a limb of Satan, infected with the leprosy of heresy, cut off from the Church, in order to prevent the infection of the other members of
Christ …" last words addressed to Joan of Arc, Wednesday 30 May 1431

Olympic Sports quotes and aphorisms
Olympic games quotes, aphorisms and ideas by great authors and world athletes by the World of English blog and Carl William Brown
So you wish to conquer in the Olympic games, my friend? And I too, by the Gods, and a fine thing it would be! But first mark the conditions and the consequences, and then set to work. You will have to put yourself under discipline; to eat by rule, to avoid cakes and sweetmeats; to take exercise at the appointed hour whether you like it or no, in cold and heat; to abstain from cold drinks and from wine at your will; in a word, to give yourself over to the trainer as to a physician. Then in the conflict itself you are likely enough to dislocate your wrist or twist your ankle, to swallow a great deal of dust, or to be severely thrashed, and, after all these things, to be defeated.
Epictetus
Why is luge a sport? You dress up like a giant sperm and go sledding really fast. That's hardly athletic. Phallic and sexy, yes. But hardly athletic.
Jessica Park
I think my favorite sport in the Olympics is the one in which you make your way through the snow, you stop, you shoot a gun, and then you continue on. In most of the world, it is known as the biathlon, except in New York City, where it is known as winter.
Michael Ventre
The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not winning but taking part; the essential thing in life is not conquering but fighting well.
Finishing second in the Olympics gets you silver. Finishing second in politics gets you oblivion.
The Olympics remain the most compelling search for excellence that exists in sport, and maybe in life itself.
Dawn Fraser
I won it, at least five million times. Men who were stronger, bigger and faster than I was could have done it, but they never picked up a pole, and never made the feeble effort to pick their legs off the ground and get over the bar.
Bob Richards
The Olympic games should be a matter between individual athletes and the gods. Noisy flag-waving dishonors gods and men alike.
Dave Beard
The first is to love your sport. Never do it to please someone else. It has to be yours.
Peggy Fleming
The Olympics are a wonderful metaphor for world cooperation, the kind of international competition that's wholesome and healthy, an interplay between countries that represents the best in all of us.
If you don't try to win you might as well hold the Olympics in somebody's back yard. The thrill of competing carries with it the thrill of a gold medal. One wants to win to prove himself the best.
When anyone tells me I can't do anything, I'm just not listening any more.
Florence Griffith Joyner
The important thing in life is not victory but combat; it is not to have vanquished but to have fought well.
Passover and Easter are the only Jewish and Christian holidays that move in sync, like the ice skating pairs we saw during the Winter Olympics.
It is the inspiration of the Olympic Games that drives people not only to compete but to improve, and to bring lasting spiritual and moral benefits to the athlete and inspiration to those lucky enough to witness the athletic dedication.
Herb Elliott
A lo largo de los años he aprendido mucho del deporte, he vivido momentos muy importantes para mí que me han marcado y me han hecho madurar.
For athletes, the Olympics are the ultimate test of their worth.
Mary Lou Retton
There can be distractions, but if you're isolated from the heart of the Games, the Olympics become just another competition.
It never gets tiring coming to Paralympic Games and crossing the line first. It is like a fairytale that just doesn't seem to end, each time I come out.
Jason Smyth
My dream was to win the World Championships and I did it. So I said my next dream was to win the Paralympics. So what's my next dream? It is sleeping.
Daniel Martins
We are all humans, we spend almost all our career together so when a teammate suffers, I suffer too.
Omara Durand
The Olympic Games is a celebration of discipline.
Sunday Adelaja
It was not the money that was my main motive; it was the challenge and the thrill where I got my kicks. Armed robbery to me was like a sport. To take on an armored vehicle with two armed security guards – it was like an athlete attending the Olympic Games.
Drexel Deal
In Hollywood you can see things at night that are fast enough to be in the Olympics in the day time.
Estoy convencida de que estamos aquí para retarnos día a día a hacer grandes cosas. Porque sólo atreviéndonos a luchar para conseguir nuestros sueños podremos hacerlos realidad.
Arguing is the Olympics of talking
Stewart Stafford
Performing enhancing drugs are banned in the Olympics. Okay, we can swing with that. But performance debilitating drugs should not be banned. Smoke a joint and win the hundred meters, fair play to you. That's pretty damn good. Unless someone's dangling a Mars bar off in the distance.
Here's a good trick: Get a job as a judge at the Olympics. Then, if some guy sets a world record, pretend that you didn't see it and go, "Okay, is everybody ready to start now?"

TJP Talks Sleeping In Chris Benoit's Bed & Washing NJPW Wrestlers While Training In Japan
by H Jenkinson February 17, 2019 February 17, 2019 at 1:58 pm
Not all WWE Superstars start their careers in the Performance Center. TJP wrestled all around the world before coming to WWE. He also spent some time in Japan and learned a lot in the process. This included how to wash backs and where the comfy spot is in Chris Benoit's bed.
TJP recently appeared on the 'Wrassle Rap' podcast where his time in NJPW came up. He had to start from the bottom, and now he's in WWE — but it wasn't easy at all training in New Japan.
"Yeah I did [sleep in the dojo]. They also shipped me off to Tokyo whereas the other guys, they may have spent another night or two in the dojo in Tokyo just if they arrived the day before a tour and they didn't go to a hotel or something like that, but I actually had to go and be in the dorm rooms in Tokyo. I slept in Chris Benoit's bed."
"I was in those dorm rooms and I would sweep the floors and help cook the meals. Thankfully, one of the young boys in my class, [Inzowa] was his name. He wanted to be chef. He didn't really want to be a wrestler, he was just wrestling. So thankfully he cooked most of the meals because he loved cooking so I didn't have to do that."
"But I'd sweep floors and wash Nakanishi's back, Liger's back, carry their bags. I did all that stuff. The other guys really didn't have to do that sort of thing. If I had to go on tour, they would ship me out a month early, two weeks early and I would live in the dojo. Sometimes I would stay there between tours. I'd be there for three months at a time or something like that."
TJP is enjoying his life as a WWE Superstar, but he will never forget his time training the hard-knock strong style in Japan. Washing Jushin Thunder Liger's back has to be pretty memorable as well.

Schools in rural Nepal are usually remote and challenging to reach. The steep hills, long distances and poor paths make education in the villages often unattainable for children and difficult for teachers.
Children walk up to three hours each way to get to school. Their arduous journeys result in terribly low and sporadic attendance as well as delayed start at school (often not until the age of 8-9).
The schools that do exist are often extremely dilapidated with crumbling walls, dirt floors & dark with no windows.
The Nepalese Government does not have the resources to fund enough schools in rural areas. The onus thus falls on some of the poorest local communities to provide the school building, with the Government then funding some of the teachers and their salaries.
The six months of monsoon rain provides a very small window for construction to take place.
To bring good quality schools to the heart of remote villages in the Himalayas.
We carry out extensive analysis to identify the neediest communities and educational projects, with our local implementation partners.
We involve communities from the onset ensuring that we develop the correct school offering. We also gain a commitment from the community that they will contribute, in kind, at least 30% of the project costs.
We provide the funding for the building materials, whilst the communities demonstrate their commitment by providing the labour for construction, donating the land or sourcing local materials.
Our local teams work on site monitoring progress and ensuring that the highest quality schools are constructed as quickly as possible.
We equip the schools with furniture and basic resources so that students have an appropriate environment to learn in.
We operate a maintenance programme for existing CAIRN Schools, to ensure that they are meeting the constant needs of the students.
