Aims of this guide This guide has been written to highlight the fire protection requirements of HMOs (Houses in Multiple Occupation) and show how Apollo s AlarmSense range of detectors and detection devices can be used to fulfil the requirements of BS 5839, the code for fire alarm system design, installation, commissioning and maintenance. This document is intended only as a guide and not a substitute for understanding BS 5839 Parts 1 and 6. 2
3 What is AlarmSense? AlarmSense is a range of conventional fire detection and alarm products designed to be connected to the same pair of supply wires, making installation quicker and less expensive. AlarmSense has been developed to make the design and installation of a fire detection and alarm system easier and more economic for small to medium-sized buildings. The range also allows an existing system to be extended or modified if necessary. This flexibility makes AlarmSense an excellent choice for use in HMOs. As you would expect from Apollo, AlarmSense incorporates features that help reduce false alarms and patented technology to ensure the integrity of a system. The range also includes products, such as beacons, to help meet the requirements of the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA). What is an HMO? An HMO or House in Multiple Occupation is defined by HM Government as: A building or part of a building occupied by more than one household which shares certain amenities such as a bathroom or kitchen A converted building occupied by more than one household which is partly converted into selfcontained flats A building which is made up entirely of selfcontained flats which do not meet the 1991 Buildings Regulation and more than one third of the flats are occupied under short term tenancies This means an HMO could be, amongst other things: Shared flats or houses Bedsits Student halls of residence Nurses accommodation Some hostels and bed and breakfast establishments might be classed as HMOs. To check, please refer to the definition in the Sleeping Accommodation Guide from HM Government. Fire Protection for an HMO The first step in designing any fire detection system is to undertake a fire risk assessment. To establish the fire risk, ask yourself: What is the probability of a fire? What is the probability of death or injury in the event of a fire? So for example, a high probability of fire coupled with a significant possibility of loss of life or injury equals a high fire risk. This means that any fire detection system installed should warn occupants of a fire at an early stage, regardless of where in the building the fire occurs. It is also useful to consider at this stage the type of tenants likely to be living in the HMO if known. For example, are they disabled, elderly or do they have special needs? If so, the system may have additional requirements to allow it to conform to the demands of the DDA. For more information refer to page 10. By establishing the fire risk, you can also help determine the appropriate balance between protection and cost. Approved Document B The Approved Document B (ADB) Fire Safety guide to the Building Regulations gives advice on typical building situations. The information it contains is guidance only and, if appropriate, compliance with particular requirements can be achieved in alternative ways. The ADB is now in two volumes: Volume 1 provides guidance for dwellinghouses; and Volume 2 deals with non-dwellinghouses, but includes guidance for flats. The ADB states that all new dwellinghouses and flats should be provided with a fire detection and alarm system. The ADB is primarily concerned with protection of life in case of fire. However property protection is dealt with and the ADB recommends that stakeholders, in particular the insurers, be consulted because they may seek their own higher standards of protection before accepting the risk. Regulation B1 of the Building Regulations, titled Means of warning and escape states: The building shall be designed and constructed so that there are appropriate provisions for the early warning of fire, and appropriate means of escape in case of fire from the building to a place of safety outside the building capable of being safely and effectively used at all material times. The ADB goes on to recommend that: In most houses the installation of smoke alarms or automatic fire detection and alarm systems, can significantly increase the level of safety by automatically giving an early warning of fire. The ADB recommends that a building used as a dwelling should have a fire detection and alarm (FD&A) system. For large* dwellinghouses of 3 or more storeys (excluding basement storeys) the FD&A system should comply to BS 5839 part 6, grade A, category LD2, with detectors sited in accordance with the recommendations of BS 5839 part 1 for a category L2 system. For large* dwellinghouses of 2 storeys (excluding basement storeys) the FD&A system should comply to BS 5839 part 6, grade B, category LD3. For small dwellinghouses and flats the FD&A system should comply with BS 5839 part 6, grade D, category LD3. The grades and categories** shown are a minimum and may be bettered if necessary. For example, installing an AlarmSense FD&A system could cover all grades and categories in BS 5839 parts 1 and 6. The communal parts (e.g. stairway) of flats or converted dwellinghouses used as HMOs are not dealt with specifically in the ADB. However, when the protected area is a converted dwellinghouse, with a communal stairway to HMO dwellings, then an AlarmSense FD&A system would be an ideal choice. *A dwellinghouse is regarded as large if it has more than one storey and any of those storeys exceed 200m 2. **For an explanation of grades and categories used in BS 5839 please see page 8. 3
4 Mandatory Licensing In April 2006 mandatory licensing of HMOs of three storeys or more came into force. National licensing is necessary to raise the standard of HMOs to the same level, making it consistent across the country. Licensing of HMOs is mandatory for all local authorities and some may even choose to widen the scope of licensing to include smaller or other types of HMOs. This is known as additional licensing. It may be advisable to consult the relevant local authority, because they may have different regulations, depending on their housing stock and the perceived risk. Some local authorities have a system of HMO categories from A to F, which vary, for example, from shared houses, bedsits, houses converted into flats, to hostels etc. It is advisable to contact the relevant local authority to establish the HMO category and the fire protection required. BS 5839 BS 5839 is the British Standard for Fire Detection and Fire Alarm Systems for Buildings. The applicable part of the code depends on the size of the building and the different areas within it. For the installation of fire detection systems within an HMO, BS 5839 Part 6 is the main code of practice, but Part 1 may also be used, particularly in the communal areas and in large dwellings. The table below illustrates where different applicable codes would be used. Size of HMO Dwelling Communal Unit(s) Area(s) Up to and including 2 storeys Part 6 Part 1* 3 or more storeys Part 1* Part 1* Table 1: Building size and applicable codes Categories of System BS 5839 divides fire alarm systems into a number of different categories for life protection for occupants. Part 6 and Part 1 of BS 5839 allocate slightly different names to these categories: Category LD used in Part 6 Category L used in Part 1 The letters L and D used in these categories stand for Life protection (L) and Dwelling (D). Therefore Category LD used in Part 6 covers Life protection in Dwellings while Part 1 s Category L covers Life protection in premises generally. The definition of these categories also differs slightly between Parts 6 and 1. The table below shows the roughly equivalent categories: BS 5839 Part 6 Part 6 is the code of practice for dwellings and therefore the main code for the fire detection provision within the individual accommodation units of an HMO of two storeys or less. BS 5839 Part 1 This part of the code deals with the design, installation, commissioning and maintenance of a fire detection system in buildings other than dwellings. However, depending on the size of the HMO, the recommendations of Part 1 can be applied to certain areas within the dwelling (see table above for details). *Where BS 5839 part 1 is shown in Table 1, it means that the system would be to Part 1 with the increased (battery) standby time of 72 hours and alarm sound pressure (dba) recommendations in the dwellings to BS 5839 part 6. BS 5839 Part 1 BS 5839 Part 6 L1 LD1 L2 LD2 L3 LD3 L4 L5 N/A Table 2: Equivalent categories between BS 5839 Part 1 and Part 6 4
5 The requirements of the categories of system are described below. System L1 (Part 1) An automatic detection system is installed throughout the building. This category of system is the most comprehensive, giving the earliest possible warning of a fire and the most time for escape. System LD1 (Part 6) This is a full coverage system where an automatic detection system is installed throughout the dwelling unit (see Fig 1). This includes detectors in all circulation spaces that are escape routes within the dwelling and in rooms where a fire is most likely to start (a kitchen or living room). Note: In all LD Categories, bathrooms and toilets would not generally be protected. System L2 (Part 1) An automatic fire detection system is installed in escape routes*, in the rooms opening onto the escape routes and in defined parts of the building where there is an increased risk of fire e.g. in lift motor room(s) or in the kitchen(s). System LD2 (Part 6) Detectors are installed in all circulation spaces that form escape routes from within the dwelling and in all rooms where a fire is likely to start, such as a kitchen or living room (see Fig 2). The potential causes of these fires could be, for example, electrical equipment left on and unattended in a living room or people falling asleep while smoking or accidentally leaving a cigarette burning. Fig 1. LD1 This is the most comprehensive of the three categories of Part 6, covering all rooms where a fire might start such as a kitchen or living room. Note that bathrooms and toilets are not generally protected. Fig 2. LD2 The escape routes within the dwelling and the higher risk rooms, such as a kitchen are protected. Areas protected Areas protected 5
6 System L3 (Part 1) A system to Category L3 is intended to give an early warning of a fire. Escape routes* and rooms that open onto escape routes are protected. System L4 (Part 1) A system to Category L4 would protect only the escape routes* and circulation areas of a building. *Escape routes for BS5839 Part 1 systems compromise escape corridors and stairways. System LD3 (Part 6) Detectors are installed in all circulation spaces that form part of the escape routes from within the dwelling, such as the hall (see Fig 3). System L5 (Part 1) An L5 system is intended to meet a specific fire safety objective. It is most unlikely to be applicable to an HMO. Application of Categories of System BS 5839 Part 6 recommends that all dwellings be protected to at least LD3 and new dwellings to LD2. If the risk is high, for example the occupants are elderly or have a disability, LD2 or LD1 should be considered for dwellings, whether new or not. The table below shows the minimum standard of protection for dwellings as recommended by Part 6: New dwellings Existing dwellings LD1 Dwellings for occupants with Disabilities (This applies whether the dwelling is new or existing) Table 3: Minimum standard of protection r ecommended in BS 5839 Part 6 LD2 LD3 Fig 3. LD3 Only the circulation areas are protected. Areas protected Mixed Systems A single fire detection system would be suitable for large HMOs, typically buildings with three or more storeys. However, other HMO properties could be fitted with a mixed system. This essentially mixes BS 5839 Part 1 and Part 6. For an HMO, this could mean using BS 5839 Part 1 Category L3 or better in communal areas to warn occupants of a fire and BS 5839 Part 6 Category LD1 in the individual dwelling units. The hall could be both Part 6 and Part 1 as there may be a detector and alarm just inside the door of the dwelling (Part 1) and a smoke alarm, perhaps near the bedroom door (Part 6). The diagrams overleaf show how mixed systems can be used in different sized buildings. 6
7 Siting Detectors and Alarms for a large HMO Large HMOs may be fitted with fire detection and alarms to BS 5839 part 1 category L3 (or L2) in the communal escape routes and in each of the accommodation areas opening onto the communal escape route. For example, smoke detectors would be sited at each main landing in a stairway with a fire detector just inside each accommodation area leading onto the communal escape route. Alarm devices would be sited in the communal escape route to BS 5839 part 1 with one or more sounders in each accommodation area. If any of these (part 1) detectors activate, then the alarm devices in the communal escape route and in the dwellings operate, so starting the evacuation throughout. In the HMO dwelling units a fire detection and alarm system to BS 5839 part 6 would be used to detect a fire in the dwelling and operate the alarm devices in that dwelling only, so that the occupant(s) can take appropriate action. In the event of a false alarm, only the occupant(s) would be involved and a general evacuation avoided. However, if a fire threatened the communal escape route the detector in the accommodation area connected to the part 1 system would activate to operate the associated alarm devices in the communal escape route and in each dwelling. Using AlarmSense in a large HMO AlarmSense detectors and sounders could control the whole of the system described above, using a central fire alarm control panel. Detectors in the dwelling units would be set with a non-priority signalling delay, so that initially only local area sounders operate, making the occupant(s) aware so they can take appropriate action. If the smoke disperses within the delay time (usually about 2 minutes) the alarm devices would be silenced. If the fire is genuine and cannot be dealt with, after the delay, all sounders throughout the HMO building would operate, so evacuating all occupants. Using a central panel and AlarmSense devices provides overall alarm coverage in all areas of the communal escape routes and throughout the dwelling units. Detectors sited in the communal escape route and just inside the dwelling units (i.e. to part 1) would be set to priority and, when activated, would operate all alarm devices for a general evacuation. Please see the section Priority/Non-priority signalling on page 11. Fig 4. Dwellings up to 2 storeys Fig 5. Dwellings of 3 or more storeys Part 6 Part 1 Part 1 Part 1 and/or Part 6 7
8 Grades of System In addition to system categories, BS 5839 Part 6 defines a number of system grades essentially referring to the technology of detection and protection. There are six Grades, A to F with Grade A being the most comprehensive. The table below shows the advantages and disadvantages of each Grade. More control Less control More monitoring Less monitoring Greater reliability Less reliability More expensive Low cost More complex installation Easy installation High fire risk applications Lower fire risk applications Large dwelling Smaller dwelling Grade A through to Grade F Grade A Apollo s AlarmSense range meets the requirements of these Grades Table 4. BS 5839 Part 6 Grades : advantages and disadvantages A Grade A fire detection and alarm system conforms to the general recommendations of BS 5839 Part 1. This means that the equipment used in the system should conform to the following standards: Detectors to EN54-5 (heat) or EN54-7 (smoke) Control panel to EN54-2 Power supply to EN54-4 While a Grade A system conforms to Part 1, certain elements of the system are covered by Part 6 instead. The table below shows which elements are covered by Part 6 and their equivalent clause in Part 1. Within an HMO, a Grade A system should be able to identify the location of an alarm. This can be achieved Part 6 Clause Part 1 Clause Audible alarm signals Fire alarm warning for people with impaired hearing Manual call points Capacity of standby batteries 15.2c 25.4e Radio-linked systems Table 5. Clauses covered by Part 6 and Part 1 in a Grade A system by making each individual dwelling a zone. Therefore, if a fire occurs in a dwelling, only one zone would indicate fire, thereby showing firefighters the source of the fire. To see how AlarmSense can be used in a Grade A system please refer to the drawings on page 9. AlarmSense can be used to meet all the requirements of Grade A because all AlarmSense detectors are approved to EN54-5 for heat detectors and EN54-7 for smoke detectors. For AlarmSense control panel approvals, please contact the panel manufacturer. Grade B A Grade B system follows the functionality of a Grade A system using smoke and heat detectors. A Grade B system is subject to many recommendations (to be found in Annex C of BS 5839 Part 6). A Grade B system should also divide the building into detection zones. The table below shows the recommended guidelines for zone sizes: Floor Area Less than 200m 2 As AlarmSense meets the requirements of a Grade A system, it can be used to fulfil the requirements of Grade B too, meaning that the highest grade of system is installed. Grade C Recommended Zone Division 200 2,000m 2 1 zone per storey More than 2,000m 2 1 zone can be spread over more than 1 storey More than 1 zone per storey Table 6. Suggested zone division A Grade C system incorporates fire detectors and sounders connected to a common power supply. This power supply is both mains and a standby supply and contains an element of central control equipment. In a Grade C system, zonal control is not recommended, so the whole dwelling could be one zone. The system could be incorporated into an intruder panel. As AlarmSense fulfils the requirements of Grade A, it automatically meets the requirements of Grade C. 8
9 Grade D A system containing mains-powered smoke or heat alarms with battery standby. Grade E A system containing mains-powered smoke or heat alarms with no battery standby. Grade F A system containing battery powered smoke or heat alarms only. By using AlarmSense throughout a fire detection system you are already using a Grade A system. AlarmSense means a better system and better protection for individual dwellings and other occupants in the building. Grades D and F have individual batteries in the smoke or heat alarms. These grades are therefore dependent on the occupant in the dwelling replacing the battery as required. Using Apollo s AlarmSense range, the back-up battery is located at the fire alarm panel and servicing, including battery checking, can be done on a regular basis by a Competent Person, calling according to a schedule. This provides better, more reliable cover without relying on the occupant having to replace batteries. Fig 7: Typical AlarmSense system within an HMO Approved Document B (ADB) detector siting recommendations in dwellings Certain detector siting recommendation in the ADB reiterate BS 5839 part 6 and others are additional recommendations. Detectors should be sited in the circulation spaces within the dwelling units as follows: a) between sleeping spaces and where fire would be most likely to start (e.g. kitchens and living rooms); b) at least one smoke detector on every storey; c) where the kitchen is not separated by a door from the circulation spaces, a heat detector should be used in the kitchen, linked to the alarms; d) Where more than one alarm is installed, they should be interlinked; e) Smoke detectors and alarms should be fitted in the circulation spaces within 7.5m of every habitable room; f) power supplies should have a 72 hour standby. Fig 6: Typical AlarmSense system within an individual dwelling 9
10 Designing Systems for Occupants with Special Requirements When designing a fire system for an HMO, the fire risk assessment should take into consideration the likely occupants. For example, are they elderly? Do they have a disability? If so, it is important to use a category that gives the maximum amount of time to allow them to escape. The assessment should include all rooms within the dwelling even though they may not be directly protected in the final fire system design. BS 5839 Part 6 recommends that LD1 or LD2 categories be used in HMOs designed for use by elderly or disabled residents irrespective of whether the building is a new or existing dwelling. Disability Discrimination Act The final phase of the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) came into force on the 1st October The Act seeks to end discrimination faced by disabled people and this has implications when designing a fire detection system. The main requirement relevant to fire alarm systems is to include visual signalling devices (beacons, strobes) in a system in addition to audible devices (sounders). Beacons can be used in living rooms and bedrooms for example. The AlarmSense range includes a sounder beacon base to enable compliance with the requirements of the DDA. The AlarmSense Alarm Relay allows other products designed to alert the disabled to be connected to the system such as pillow or bed alarms, radio vibrating devices and paging systems (see page 13 for more details). False Alarms The risk of false alarms is something all fire detection systems are susceptible to but the nature of HMOs and their potentially vulnerable tenants makes the risks and possible consequences even greater. BS 5839 Part 1 defines false alarms as a fire signal resulting from a cause(s) other than fire. A false alarm could be: A malicious act or vandalism Human error Transient phenomena such as cigarette smoke being interpreted as a fire rather than an unwanted alarm Damage to or faults within detection devices Poorly maintained devices In reality, a false alarm in an HMO is likely to be an unwanted alarm which BS 5839 Part 6 defines as an alarm which a system has responded [to], either as designed or as the technology may reasonably be expected to respond. A fire-like phenomenon or environmental influence Accidental damage This means the most common causes of unwanted alarms are usually a result of a tenant s activities, for example, Toasting smoke and cooking fumes Steam from bathrooms and kitchens Aerosol spray, for example hairspray Candles Tobacco smoke Build-up of dust Or sources beyond a tenant s control, e.g. Insects High humidity Water ingress Other sources of smoke external to the property Reducing False Alarms The likelihood of false alarms can be greatly reduced with the correct system design, device selection, installation and maintenance. By using AlarmSense, you can help reduce the risk of false alarms even further because the detectors have been designed to resist some causes of false alarms such as insects, high humidity and water ingress. The AlarmSense system is also monitored and has a priority/non-priority signalling feature to help reduce false alarms even further. If a false (unwanted) alarm is raised, it is important to allow the occupants of individual dwellings in an HMO a means of silencing this signal before the rest of the building is alerted and evacuated. AlarmSense s priority and non-priority signalling gives a tenant two minutes to clear the source of the unwanted alarm before a full evacuation is initiated. BS 5839 Part 6 recommends that, to help reduce the likelihood of false alarms in particularly sophisticated systems, for example in very large properties (usually incorporating more than fifty smoke detectors), only an analogue addressable system be used. An AlarmSense system can be used in systems of this size and complexity. However, if you decide that an analogue system is more appropriate, consider using one of Apollo s analogue addressable ranges, XP95 or Discovery. 10
11 AlarmSense is a range of conventional detection and alarm products designed to be connected to the same pair of supply wires. By allowing products to be connected in this way, a saving on cable and the costs associated with this can be made. The products in the range are powered and controlled by purpose-designed control and indicating equipment. Compliance with Standards AlarmSense is certificated to European Directive EEC Construction Products Directive (CPD). The entire AlarmSense range has been designed to enable compliance with BS 5839 Parts 1 and 6 in addition to the following EN54 standards: Standard EN54-3 EN54-5 EN54-7 EN54-11 EN54-18 AlarmSense product/s Sounder Base Sounder Beacon Base Heat Detectors Smoke Detectors Manual Call Points Alarm Relay Module Table 7: AlarmSense compliance with EN54 Standards AlarmSense Features Priority/Non-Priority Signalling The AlarmSense sounder base and sounder beacon base feature priority and non-priority signalling. In an HMO, AlarmSense detectors in individual dwellings can be set to non-priority while those in the communal areas are set to priority. In the event of a detector activating in a dwelling, only the occupants of the affected dwelling will be warned by the alarm. If it is a false (unwanted) alarm, such as cooking fumes, the occupants have two minutes to clear the detector. If the detector is clear after this time, the system will reset, the alarms in the dwelling will silence and no other alarms in the building will operate. This feature helps to reduce the likelihood of full-scale evacuations. However, if the detector remains in alarm after two minutes the system will operate all alarms and all other occupants of the building will be alerted so they can evacuate. Figure 8 shows the process. Priority/non-priority signalling is set simply by a DIL switch on the relevant device. Note: please check with your chosen AlarmSense control panel manufacturer that their panel supports this feature. Fig 8: Flow chart of priority/non-priority signalling RemovAlert All AlarmSense bases are fitted with electronic circuitry that monitors the presence of a detector head. If a detector is removed without authorisation, the base will signal a fault at the control panel. This patented feature is known as RemovAlert and means that the fire detection system still operates as intended, even when a detector head has been removed. Put simply, devices such as detectors or manual call points continue to operate as normal. AlarmSense for HMOs The AlarmSense range is suitable for BS 5839 part 1 and BS 5839 part 6 installations, making it an excellent choice for all parts of HMOs. In particular where interlinked alarms are recommended, AlarmSense would be ideally suited. 11
12 The AlarmSense Range The range includes the products you need to build a fire system for an HMO of any size. The range comprises: Optical smoke detector Integrating optical smoke detector A1R heat detector CS heat detector Resettable Manual Call Point Base Sounder base Sounder Beacon base Alarm Relay Combinations Apollo makes ordering the AlarmSense products you need for a project easy with combination packages. These comprise an AlarmSense sounder base or sounder beacon base with a detector. This means you can order the exact number of products you need. Alternatively, you can order the products separately. See product descriptions for part numbers. Sounder Base Combinations Part Numbers With Optical Smoke Detector With Integrating Optical Smoke Detector With A1R Heat Detector With CS Heat Detector Sounder Beacon Base Combinations Part Numbers With Optical Smoke Detector With Integrating Optical Smoke Detector With A1R Heat Detector With CS Heat Detector Table 8: AlarmSense combinations O ptical Smoke Detectors The AlarmSense range features two optical smoke detectors, a standard optical smoke detector, part number , and an integrating optical smoke detector, part number , for use in areas where smoke is present under normal circumstances. Integrating optical smoke detectors can be used in HMOs where the occupants may be smokers. Using integrating optical smoke detectors in this environment will help reduce the likelihood of false alarms. Heat Detectors The AlarmSense range has two heat detectors, classified according to the requirements of EN54-5. The rate-of-rise heat detector (A1R), part number , responds to rapid increases in temperature and avoids false alarms in dirty, dusty areas, rooms with kitchenettes attached or where the occupants smoke. A static heat detector (CS), part number , is designed for high temperature applications such as a kitchen. They can be used in the same environments as the rate-of-rise detectors described above and without causing false alarms in areas where there are rapid temperature fluctuations such as laundries and boiler rooms. Manual Call Point The AlarmSense Manual Call Point gives an immediate response when operated. The standard call point is housed in a red moulding with an integral red alarm LED to show that it has been operated. Bases AlarmSense detectors can only be used with AlarmSense bases. The table below shows the features of the AlarmSense bases: RemovAlert Priority/ Cap for Non Priority stand Switching alone use Standard Base N/A Sounder Base Sounder Beacon Base Table 9: AlarmSense base features Standard Base The standard AlarmSense base part number , is used for installing detectors that do not require an integral sounder or sounder beacon. Sounder Base The AlarmSense sounder base, part number , combines a sounder and a detector base in one unit, giving two functions at one point. This gives you flexibility in designing the system and means that two devices can be installed at one point, providing an additional element of fire protection. 12
13 ON Sounder Beacon Base The sounder beacon base, part number , incorporates a sounder, a beacon and a detector base in one unit, giving three functions at one point. The sounder beacon base includes high intensity red LEDs which flash once per second in the event of an alarm. This visual confirmation of an alarm enables an AlarmSense system to be compliant with the DDA. BS 5839 Part 1 recommends a sound level of 75dB(A) be used to rouse sleeping occupants or where occupants are likely to be noisy. This means that 75dB(A) level should be heard at the bedhead even through closed doors. The sound output for the AlarmSense sounder beacon base can be selected at either 70 or 87dB(A). Alarm Relay The Alarm Relay, part number , enables devices such as beacons, pillow/bed alarms and radio vibrating or paging devices to be connected to the fire detection system. This allows the system to comply with the requirements of the DDA Apollo Fire Detectors Limited 2006/JDR/JLC Fig 9 : Connection of AlarmSense Alarm Relay to other DDA compliant devices 13
14 Glossary Below are definitions of terms used throughout this brochure. They are intended to be read in relation to this document only. Access Room A room that provides an escape route from an inner room. Circulation Area A space that is mainly used as a means of access between a room and an exit. Examples of circulation areas include corridors, hallways, landings and staircases. Communal Area Any area within an HMO that is accessed by all occupants. In buildings where there are individual dwellings, communal areas are usually the corridors, escape routes, hallways and stairways. In HMOs where certain amenities are shared, communal areas also include any shared kitchens, bathrooms and living areas. Dwelling A dwelling is defined as a self-contained unit of accommodation. False Alarm BS 5839 Part 1 defines a false alarm as a fire signal resulting from a cause(s) other than a fire. It goes on to define four categories of false alarm: a device responding to a fire-like phenomena such as cigarette smoke; a device or system malfunction; an alarm raised maliciously and an alarm raised with good intent. See page 10 for more information. Heat Alarm A heat alarm contains within its housing all the elements necessary to detect heat and sound an alarm. It may also contain an integral power supply. Heat alarms do not form part of the AlarmSense range. Heat Detector A heat detector contains one or more sensors for monitoring and detecting heat. When heat has been detected, they initiate an alarm via their control equipment. Used as part of a system. The AlarmSense range includes A1R and CS heat detectors. See page 12 for more details. HMO HMO stands for House in Multiple Occupation. It is essentially a building that houses more than one family. This could be self-contained flats or flats that share amenities; it could be a converted house or purpose-built accommodation. For a full definition, please see page 3. Inner Room An inner room has no escape route other than that provided by its access room. Large House A house is defined as large in Approved Document B if any of its storeys exceed 200m 2. Patent A grant of exclusive right to make, use and sell an invention in a defined territory such as the United Kingdom. Priority/Non-Priority Signalling A feature of AlarmSense that enables the investigation of an alarm in a single dwelling without evacuating the whole building. If, after two minutes, the detector remains in alarm, all occupants are alerted and the building can be evacuated. See page 11 for more information. RemovAlert This is a patented AlarmSense feature that alerts the control panel if a detector has been removed from its base without authorisation. See page 11 for more information. Smoke Alarm A smoke alarm contains within its housing all the elements necessary to detect smoke and sound an alarm. It may also contain an integral power supply. Smoke alarms do not form part of the AlarmSense range. Smoke Detector A smoke detector contains one or more sensors for monitoring and detecting smoke. When smoke has been detected, it initiates an alarm via its control equipment. Used as part of a system. AlarmSense smoke detectors are optical type smoke detectors. The AlarmSense range includes optical and integrating optical smoke detectors. See page 12 for more details. Storey Rooms on one level of a building. This can include basements and attics. Two Wire A system that allows detection and alarm devices to be connected to the same pair of wires. AlarmSense is a two wire system. 14

Government drone by day and book lover and geek girl by night!
Sorry, not sorry, I just am not going to force myself to read something I am not enjoying.
The purple prose and info dump that I tried to wade through turned me completely off. I can't say much more than that since I didn't waste my time trying to struggle through this read.
I would also say that the flow was just a slog. I did try to skim a couple of chapters and just gave up.

Erik Sandin of NOFX – Yamaha Drums
"NOTHING FROM MY GENERATION SPOKE TO ME UNTIL I HEARD PUNK ROCK. IT WAS RAW. IT WAS ANGRY. IT HAD ENERGY AND ANGST. IT WAS EVERYTHING THAT I WAS." – If it weren´t for Punk Rock, Erik "Smelly" Sandin might not have played drums—or any instrument at all. But in 1981 his neighbourhood punk band needed a drummer, so 15-year-old Erik became one. Two years later, he and two Los Angeles friends formed NOFX, which would go on to become one of the most successful and long-running punk bands ever.
With his skittering sixteenth-note hi-hat patterns, clean snare rolls and speedy double kick patterns, played with a single pedal, Erik manages to be the solid foundation of the band´s sound even at NOFX's light-speed tempos. In our interview Smelly tells us how he sees his role within in the band and explains his current set-up.
Erik plays Yamaha Absolute Hybrid Maple in Red Autumn:
22″ x 18″ Bass Drum, 12″ x 8″ Tom Tom, 16″ x 15″ Floor Tom
14″ x 5.5″ Brass Snare (RRS1455).

Mini Holland row becomes focus of Enfield general election campaign
A Mini-Holland scheme in north London has become the bitter focus of a general election row.
Candidates have set against one another as they debate the Cycle Enfield, which plans to spend £42 million on safe cycling routes.
The Tory candidate David Burrowes says he will scrap the scheme if elected.
He claims that businesses are being affect by the disruption.
"Cycle lanes have their place and merits, but it's a whole different picture when you're talking about an outer London suburban high street and you're trying to put a segregated cycle lane in at a huge amount of cost," Mr Burrowes told the Evening Standard.
He added: "The result of it is not actually improving air quality […] and people being funnelled in a congested tailback of buses and cars.
"It may work in other parts of the country, but as far as Enfield's concerned, there's not the broad approval that I think would need to be there to go through.
"There's already been incidents of cars being written off and pedestrians tripping over the things separating the cycle lanes.
"What they need to be ready to do is if evidence suggests that it's causing safety problems, then they need to have to the guts to say 'we've not done it properly and we'll find a different way of doing it'.
"That would entail trying to find ways of trying to find ways to mitigate the problems that are happening and not having the cycle lane in the same way… maybe being less segregated."
Labour are the dominant party in Enfield, and candidate Bambos Charalambous said: "I don't think it's a primary issue.
"I think people have raised some valid concerns about it [but] the scheme isn't up and running yet. People need to be patient and allow the scheme to get up and running and see where it goes from there. I think it'll be a good thing for the area.
"I'm very much excited by it," he added.
A London Cycling Campaign spokesman said: "Once completed, the scheme will bring benefits to businesses by creating places that are easier and more attractive to visit, shop and do business in.
"Major roadworks can cause short-term, localised congestion and pollution – but longer term these schemes will help lots of people swap unnecessary car journeys for walking and cycling, boosting local business and residents' health, while cutting congestion, air pollution and collisions."

Kids Home > Precautions and Warnings With Amoxicillin/Clavulanate Potassium ES
Amoxicillin/clavulanate potassium ES can cause dangerous allergic reactions. Other safety warnings and precautions with amoxicillin/clavulanate potassium ES apply to people who have penicillin allergies or phenylketonuria. Also, some people may not be able to take this antibiotic safely if certain health conditions are present, such as kidney or liver disease.
What Should I Tell My Child's Healthcare Provider?You should talk to your child's healthcare provider before starting amoxicillin/clavulanate potassium ES (Augmentin ES®) if your child has:
- Liver disease, including liver failure, cirrhosis, or hepatitis
- Kidney disease, such as kidney failure (renal failure)
- A penicillin allergy
- Phenylketonuria
- Any other allergies, including allergies to foods, dyes, or preservatives.
Make sure to tell your healthcare provider about any other medications your child is taking, including prescription and nonprescription medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements.
Specific Amoxicillin/Clavulanate Potassium ES Warnings and PrecautionsSome warnings and precautions to be aware of with this product include the following:
- Amoxicillin/clavulanate potassium ES contains amoxicillin, an antibiotic that belongs to the penicillin group of antibiotics. You should not take this medicine if you are allergic to penicillin. Seek immediate medical attention if you notice any signs of an allergic reaction, such as a rash, itching, hives, wheezing, swelling of the mouth or lips, or difficulty breathing. An allergic reaction to this antibiotic can be very dangerous.
- Let your healthcare provider know if your child experiences diarrhea that is severe or that lasts for more than two or three days. While diarrhea is a common side effect of amoxicillin/clavulanate potassium ES, severe or prolonged diarrhea may be a sign of a serious reaction to the antibiotic.
- Amoxicillin/clavulanate potassium ES contains 7 mg of phenylalanine in each teaspoonful (each 5 mL). This is important for people with phenylketonuria, who must limit their intake of phenylalanine.
- Your healthcare provider may need to monitor your child more closely if he or she has liver or kidney disease, as these problems often affect the way your body handles medications. Also, amoxicillin/clavulanate potassium ES can make liver or kidney disease worse.
- Sometimes, antibiotics (including amoxicillin/clavulanate potassium ES) can cause yeast infections. Let your healthcare provider know if your child develops a vaginal yeast infection or thrush (a yeast infection of the mouth) while taking this medication.
- Amoxicillin/clavulanate potassium ES should not be used to treat viruses, such as the common cold. This medicine is completely ineffective for treating viruses, and such use can lead to bacterial resistance to amoxicillin/clavulanate potassium ES.
- It is very important to take amoxicillin/clavulanate potassium ES exactly as prescribed. Skipping doses or stopping this antibiotic too early (even if you feel better) can lead to bacterial resistance to this antibiotic.
- Amoxicillin/clavulanate potassium ES can interact with other medications (see Drug Interactions With Amoxicillin/Clavulanate Potassium ES).
- Amoxicillin/clavulanate potassium ES is considered a pregnancy Category B medication. This means that it is probably safe for use during pregnancy, although the full risks are not known. It's important to note, however, that this product is only approved for use in children, and it is generally not prescribed for pregnant women. Talk to your healthcare provider about the risks and benefits of using this drug during pregnancy (see Augmentin ES and Pregnancy for more information).
- Amoxicillin/clavulanate potassium ES passes through breast milk. Therefore, if you are breastfeeding or plan to start, make sure to talk with your healthcare provider prior to beginning treatment with this antibiotic (see Augmentin ES and Breastfeeding for more information). Again, it's important to keep in mind that this drug is not approved for use in adults.

In 1967, Martin Scorsese entered the Masters program at NYU and began working on his first feature film, WHO'S THAT KNOCKING AT MY DOOR? (1969), with Harvey Keitel. It was the first Scorsese film edited by Thelma Schoonmaker.
Martin Scorsese drew every shot he wanted in BOXCAR BERTHA (1972), a task that resulted in some 500 drawings. Above, co-stars David Carradine and Barbara Hershey.
An overtly autobiographical film, MEAN STREETS (1973) had its two main characters, Johnny Boy (Robert De Niro) and Charlie (Harvey Keitel, pictured above), based on a childhood friend and Scorsese himself. The film marked the first collaboration between De Niro and Scorsese.
For Martin Scorsese, TAXI DRIVER (1976) was a notable collaborative experience: "Bob [DeNiro] was the actor, I was the director, and Paul [Schrader] wrote the script. The three of us just came together. It was exactly what we wanted."
Cathy Moriarty in RAGING BULL (1980).
GOODFELLAS (1990), based on a book by Nicholas Pileggi (who also co-wrote the screenplay), brought an Academy Award(c) nomination to director Martin Scorsese and starred (above ) Ray Liotta, Robert De Niro, Paul Sorvino and Joe Pesci.
In Martin Scorsese's remake of CAPE FEAR (1990), Juliette Lewis, Jessica Lange and Nick Nolte made up the dysfuntional '90s version of the Bowden family terrorized by Max Cady ( Robert De Niro). De Niro and Lewis both won Oscar nominations.
Martin Scorsese loved music films but was "sick and tired of all those shots of people in the audience." For THE LAST WALTZ (1978), he kept the camera on the stage where a host of rock legends performed in concert. Above, Van Morrison, Bob Dylan, and Robbie Robertson performed "I Shall Be Released."

Vanessa will give a national update and developments for tackling FGM and supporting health professionals who are directly working with women and girls that may be at risk or have been victims of FGM.
The conference will look at improving services, safeguarding, and meeting the national reporting requirements for Female Genital Mutilation (FGM). National updates, extended sessions and case study sessions will look at obligations with regard to reporting FGM, safeguarding those at risk of FGM, and providing effective services for victims of FGM.
A nurse by background with management and commissioning role experience, Vanessa's current role includes within its portfolio adult and child safeguarding as well as continuing health care across London. Vanessa represents London on the national forum for NHS England and has a particular interest in Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), where she represents health services on the Metropolitan Police Steering Group, and chairs the London and NHS England groups.
Guidance for mandatory reporting of FGM in healthcare has been released by the Department of Health and awareness is being raised; "We have introduced guidance on how to protect young girls and care for women who have already undergone FGM. And we have brought into legislation a clear new duty of when to report to the police cases of FGM in children. However there is still more to do and FGM prevention week is an opportunity for everybody to use this knowledge and guidance and take positive action to end FGM. We want to end FGM in a generation in the UK." Jane Ellison Public Health Minister

Understanding the Reception of Schoenberg's Music From a Neuroscientist's Perspective ALL VOLUMES CITATION PAGE IMAGE ZOOMABLE Full Citation STANDARD VIEW MARC VIEW Permanent Link: http://ufdc.ufl.edu/UF00091523/00574 Material Information Title: Understanding the Reception of Schoenberg's Music From a Neuroscientist's Perspective Series Title: Journal of Undergraduate Research Physical Description: Serial Language: English Creator: Conte, William L.dos Santos, Silvio ( Mentor ) Publisher: University of Florida Place of Publication: Gainesville, Fla. Publication Date: 2009 Notes Abstract: When Arnold Schoenberg adopted an atonal compositional style in the early twentieth century he met a series of unprecedented negative criticism and violent events at premieres of his works. While scholars have attributed the negative reception of Schoenberg's music to a variety of social reasons, such as the possibility that listeners attended his performances wanting to provoke a controversy, this article reexamines these events using neuroscience and establishes a difference in perception of tonal and atonal works. I hypothesize that the resistance to atonal music was due to the audience's predisposition to tonal music and that this predisposition influenced the expectations of listeners. According to the scientific literature, the pleasure experienced by listening to music is derived from a positive reinforcement of expectations. Based upon research into song acquisition in birds, there is a critical period during early childhood where we are able to internalize scale degree statistics without formal education. In western cultures, these internalizations are governed by tonality. Therefore, the internalized sense of tonality contributed to the harsh reception of Schoenberg's music.

Publisher's Description▼▲
Considering the extent of social injustice in the world today, how can Christians combine their efforts with those of other concerned people to solve this problem? Social Justice in the Hebrew Bible offers an answer to this question by examining how Israel used the social justice thought of other Near Eastern peoples to face its own justice crises. It uses as its framework the Hebrew Bible's statements about this issue in its law codes, prophetic books, psalms, narrative works, and wisdom literature.
Malchow demonstrates that Israel did not originate the concept of social justice. Rather, it drew its resources for overcoming it from Near Eastern thought on the subject. By combining its own ideas of social justice with those of its neighbors, Israel's people fought injustice with what was new" and what was "old."
Israel's three methods of acceptance, adaptation, and transformation remain relevant to the changing conditions of life today. They are useful in our integrations of non-Christian thought with our own and continue to shape Israel's justice tradition.
Social injustice is an immense and world-wide problem. Social Justice in the Hebrew Bible stresses that in order for Christians to be ethically responsible and true to their tradition, they must join forces with other concerned people in the struggle against it.
Bruce V. Malchow, PhD, is professor of Hebrew Bible at the Sacred Heart School of Theology, Hales Corners, Wisconsin. He has published articles in numerous journals, including the Journal of Biblical Literature and Catholic Biblical Quarterly."

One-time actor and current director Jordan Peele recently announced that he was quitting on-camera work to focus entirely on his direction and writing. Apparently, that had something to do with the poop emoji.
And Grant Gustin teases how Barry's time in the speedforce has changed him. James Cameron has a progress update on his plans for Terminator. The J.R.R. Tolkien biopic might have found its star. Plus, David Leitch on what Josh Brolin brings to Deadpool 2 and even more teasers for Rick & Morty's return. Behold, Spoilers!
Yes, The Emoji Movie seems like a horrifying cash grab that's going to be about as hip and cool as that Steve Buscemi meme everyone loves. But Sony's put the opening scene of the movie online to reveal the premise of the film, and it turns out the life of an Emoji is pretty shitty... regardless of whether or not…
Yes, it's true. Patrick Stewart is shit. The voice of the shit emoji, to be more specific, in the upcoming Emoji Movie. This casting tidbit was just one of many pieces of news Sony Pictures Animation released at an event today in Los Angeles.
And no, that headline isn't only a judgment, that's also what happens in the first trailer.
This image from the Emojimovie fills me with existential dread. The smile that looks coincidentally like Wyldstyle from the LEGO Movie. The bandage/bandanna on the high five. The bow-tied poo with raised eyebrows. The presence of T.J. Miller (Deadpool), James Corden (Into the Woods), and Ilana Glazer (Broad City)…
Find out what The Dark Tower movie takes from across the entire novel series. Gal Gadot talks about the values behind the Wonder Woman movie. Plus, Captain Power is coming back, and new looks at American Gods, Powerless, and Luke Cage. To me, my Spoilers!
A new Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 synopsis hints at former rumors. God is dead, and The Emoji Movie has a new title. Gotham adds a Vale—but not the one you'd expect. The Flash season three is definitely putting its own spin on a major comic book storyline. Plus, more Dark Tower teases and Grimm's return. Spoilers…
The idea of an emoji movie is, to quote one colleague, "a nightmare from which we will never awaken."
Kurt Russell confirms he's in talks for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. Mark Ruffalo once again kills our hopes for a standalone Hulk movie. James Cameron talks Avatar 2. Plus, a crazy new poster for Deadpool, what to expect in Doctor Who's Christmas Special, and Bradley Cooper returns to Limitless. Spoilers!

Look! Up in the sky! Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Well, yes. But not just any plane. It's Boeing's
Allow me to join the parade of praise. Congrats, Boeing. If only I'd bought in when I said your stock was cheap. I'd be sitting on close to a double right now, versus a 30% gain for the S&P 500 over the same period. Stupid.
Investors, who have bid up shares of the stock in each of the past two days, are acting as if I have another chance. As if seeing an assembled Dreamliner proves that Boeing's once-talked-about production problems with the 787 are a thing of the past.
They may have a point. More than 600 Dreamliner jets have been sold. Each delivery will bring a notable boost to earnings, beginning next May when, according to CNN, All Nippon Airways will place the first 787 into commercial service. That airline was one of the first to buy into Boeing's design, and it has 50 Dreamliners on order.
There's also Airbus to consider. Scandal and mismanagement have marred the once-proud Franco-German aircraft maker. Parent company EADS, which trades on France's CAC exchange, has seen its stock underperform vs. Boeing, which is up 29% over the past year.
But the stock could have more runway if analysts are even within spitting distance of being correct. They expect 17.8% earnings growth over each of the next five years. When compared with a 20.3 P/E ratio, that results in a 1.16 PEG ratio -- somewhat reasonable, if you're a PEG kind of person.
Still, I'm not a buyer of Boeing here, mostly because of the unpredictable nature of the commercial airline industry. But as a contributor to the Rule Breakers team, the 787's unique fuel-saving design and snap-together assembly strike me as genuinely rebellious innovations worth celebrating.
So, again: Congrats, Boeing. Now let's see what else you can do.
Taxi toward related Foolishness:
- Uh-oh. Boeing is rolling the dice.
- Look, man, we just fly the planes.
- Here comes the rising sun.

Written by PAUL DINI
Art by CHAD HARDIN and WAYNE FAUCHER
Cover by STEPHANE ROUX
1:10 Variant cover by BRIAN BOLLAND
Zatanna loves Vegas, and Vegas loves her – but should Zee be wary of the attentions of a handsome, well-connected casino owner? She can hold her own against the most ridiculous Royal Flush Gang ever assembled, and she can just about cope with her cousin Zachary's immature antics, but she'd better watch out for the sultry fire demons that are hot on her heels!

Technical vocabulary aside, I could tell I'd lost some of my ability over the 8 months spent at home. It has come back to me over time, with hard work and lots of intense listening, leading me to the last week of lectures where I understood everything the teachers said. Well, almost everything.
When giving us details about one of our final exams, the head teacher explained that normalement (normally) we are allowed the use of documents for certain questions posed by different guest lecturers. To me, that left a certain amount of doubt about whether or not things would be the same this year.
After that we didn't hear whether the test was open book or not, and so I studied everything.
Come test day, it was written on the exam which parts had authorized documents, and which hadn't. A sense of relief poured over me. This test was going to go better than I had thought.
After the exam, I expressed my sense of joy at being able to use the materials from lecture to my fellow students.
I was the only one relieved, however.
To my French counterparts, the normalement wasn't so ambiguous.
They expected to be able to use their documents.

I wouldn't have been so sure myself. For me, "normalement" means "in general / in most cases" but the fact that someone feels the need to use it makes me think that there might be exceptions. Why say "Normalement you're allowed to use documents" when you can just say "You're allowed to use documents"??ReplyDelete
You were right to have doubts and the other students were probably a bit over confident. :-)

I'm envious that you can do this. It's something I should have done.ReplyDelete
That definitely helps!ReplyDelete
I think in English when we say "normally" we are saying "normally yes.. but this time no," but I realized as I live in France with a ch'ti who is only learning English.. when he or others have said "normalement" they mean.. like "this is how it will be unless something else happens." I'm glad you read it the American English way! Good for you! Thanks for blogging!ReplyDelete

For a while I lie there, feeling the unfamiliar hotel room around me, hearing the soft hum of the ventilation system and listening to my partner's rhythmic breathing, asleep. Somewhat groggily, I wander back through the story and images from which I have just awakened, considering
