Thanks to West Bridgford Wire for the Headline.

Thanks to Nottingham City Council taking a Company called H35 (Housing Plus 35) to Court to ensure that they comply with the essential safety and management standards required for running housing for multi-occupational (HMO) properties of which H35 run about 70 in the local area, HMO properties nationally will now have to comply to the Housing Standards rules.

It was Nottingham and their Safer Housing Team that took the lead on this and it will now apply Nationally , that any company running a multi- occupational housing network must comply to Housing standards that keep people safe and able to live in suitable conditions.

The said Company, H35 claimed that their Company only needs to comply with the Financial Conduct Authority being a mutual benefit cooperative society and thus fulfilling it’s statutory housing requirements by being registered with the FCA.

How the Law let H35 hide behind this ridiculous claim that the FCA would know or care about their standard of housing is beyond belief seeing as the Council fined H35 nearly £30,000 for breaches and the Council had to appeal to establish the argument that H35 needed to comply with statutory Housing Regulations . They won the case and I believe that people will be safer and better housed because of it. Well done Nottingham!

Thanks to Sydney Lake of Fortune for the Headline

This headline caught my eye as I have recently read an omnibus of HG Well’s fiction and was fascinated to find out he was a biologist by training. His writing was influenced by his knowledge of science, in the Island of Dr Moreau, vivisection is described and for a student in the late 1800’s it is fascinating that he should take on the mantle of someone who thought that this was unnecessary and cruel.

So it is with interest that I read that this trillionaire combo of Chan and Zuckerberg wish to cure or prevent all disease as their main philanthropic goal using AI technology. They’ve made their experts in Education and Social Justice redundant and will be recruiting new experts in Biology.They wish to go all in on AI-powered biology for their future philanthropy of which they intend to spend 99% of their future earning power.

In truth curing all disease and preventing anymore disease seems a pretty dystopian goal to me. We are cellular beings and cells misbehave and by natures path there will always be an adaption or perhaps an error that will produce perhaps something unwanted. That is life . In the same way that Chan and Zuckerberg have a goal, nature has a goal too and it isn’t always what humans want.
