Village pub to host popular beer and music festival
A village pub near Carlisle is preparing for the return of its popular beer and music festival. The Pheasant Inn, which is located in Cumwhitton near Carlisle and owned by Peter and Kate Scott, will host its popular White Dog Festival in August. The festival will begin on Wednesday, August 20 and will include several events such as beer and ale tasting nights, bespoke festival food menus and live music before it concludes on Sunday, August 24. The White Dog festival has been a popular event on The Pheasant Inn's calendar since its creation in 2021, and ahead of the festival's return, Peter was on hand to explain where it got its name from and what attendees can expect. The White Dog Festival (Image: Supplied) He said: "First held in 2021, the name comes from a philosophical evening over a jar or two with one of our locals, and neighbour, Ian Watson, who happened to notice our Springer Spaniel wandering around the live music tent and beer garden, approving the venue with a cocked leg or two. "Hence, White Dog Festival. Along with support from our fantastic locals, we've seen people from miles around come to our little festival, which is a free live music event. "Punters have a brilliant time sampling delicious local, and national ales like Tirril, Great Corby Brewhouse, and Thornbridge. "And if real ale isn't your thing, then we also have German pilsners, Helles and Weiss beers, provided by ABK, an excellent Bavarian brewer." (Image: Supplied) The Pheasant Inn's White Dog festival is also set to include a range of local food offerings and music courtesy of a number of Cumbrian performers. He said: "Our festival menu includes great local produce – think Cumberland hotdogs, steak and frites, flatbread pizzas, and regular to our oUering, our delicious Burger Shack. "Of course, a music festival wouldn't be complete without some of the best local performers blasting out tunes from our outdoor Marquee. "This year we have acts that span the genres of Motown, an amazing Abba tribute, a contemporary violinist, a nine-piece Ska band, and classic rock acts, to name but a few."

KATE SCOTT was caught up in an awkward ending to DAZN's boxing coverage of Oleksandr Usyk's knock out win over Daniel Dubois. The 43-year-old presenter tried to end the show before she appeared to be told in her ear by a producer to make an quick u-turn. 2 Scott chose a bold fashion choice as she fronted up DAZN's coverage of the fight at Wembley Stadium. Scott, previously known as Kate Abdo before her recent marriage to Malik Scott, was front and centre for the broadcast. She was joined on the initial coverage by former two-weight world boxing champion Carl Frampton, who leant his boxing expertise to the show. Boxing icon Lennox Lewis also joined the lineup later in the coverage. Usyk only needed five rounds to knock Dubois out and become undisputed heavyweight champion for the second time. The Ukrainian, 38, knocked Dubois down with a stunning right hook midway through round five. He then wrapped things up with a devastating left hook to the chin of the 27-year-old. Dubois was gunning to avenge his previous loss to Usyk and become the UK's first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis in 1999. JOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUS 2 Essex-based Dubois gave his fans a fright when he didn't arrive at Wembley until around 90 minutes before the opening bell.

Here, SunSport's Jack Figg gives his round-by-round verdict... ROUND ONE Usyk looks light on his toes, swaying side to side, Dubois plants his feet and walks forward.

Usyk 10 Dubois 9 ROUND TWO Dubois lunges in with a right hand, Usyk expertly takes half a step back and responds with a counter left. Another right misses from Dubois and he takes a left cross which has him on shaky legs. Already Usyk is finding his rhythm, making Dubois miss and certainty making him pay. Usyk 10 Dubois 9 (Usyk 20 Dubois 18) ROUND THREE Usyk staggers back after a right hand from Dubois - maybe more off balance than hurt.

Kate Scott rocks bold outfit as DAZN presenter stuns in low-cut top for Oleksandr Usyk vs Daniel Dubois
KATE SCOTT impressed with her presenting and her fashion choices as she fronted up DAZN's coverage of the Oleksandr Usyk vs Daniel Dubois fight. Scott, previously known as Kate Abdo before her recent marriage to Malik Scott, was front and centre for the broadcast live from Wembley Stadium. 8 8 8 8 8 The experienced presenter and TV star stepped away from her usual gig as one of CBS Sports' Champions League broadcast stars to venture into boxing. Scott, 43, looked smart in front of the backdrop of the mega 90,000 seat venue as she sported a black and gold top, black trousers and some studded heels. While she was joined on the initial coverage by former two-weight world boxing champion Carl Frampton, who leant his boxing expertise to the show. Boxing icon Lennox Lewis also joined the lineup later in the coverage. 8 The trio were ready to bring fans action from a HUGE night of fighting as Usyk and Dubois prepare to do battle for the title of undisputed world heavyweight champion. The bout reignited a rivalry between the pair after Dubois' controversial loss to the Ukrainian back in 2023. The Brit, who currently holds the IBF heavyweight title, will try and pull off a shock win to snatch Usyk's belts away from him in front of a roaring home crowd. Usyk remains strong favourite for the fight given his exceptional form in recent times, including victories over Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua. 8 It's not just the main event that will catch the attention of fans either. Lawrence Okolie and Kevin Leren will face off in a battle for Okolie's WBC silver heavyweight title. And Southampton hitter Lewis Edmondson will try and take Daniel Lapin's IBF Intercontinental and WBA Continental light heavyweight titles away from him when the pair trade blows on the undercard.

AvalonBay sued for alleged housing discrimination at Washington, DC, property
This story was originally published on Multifamily Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Multifamily Dive newsletter. The Equal Rights Center, a Washington, D.C.-based civil rights organization, has filed a lawsuit against Arlington, Virginia-based housing REIT AvalonBay Communities, alleging that the housing REIT discriminated against tenants with housing vouchers and falsely advertised bedroom counts at its AVA NoMa property. The entities named as defendants in the complaint, filed on June 3 in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia, include AvalonBay and its ownership subsidiary for AVA NoMa, Arlington-based Archstone North Capitol Hill 2 LP. AVA NoMa, located in the NoMa neighborhood in Washington, is a 438-unit apartment building that advertises 101 studio, 184 one-bedroom, 96 two-bedroom and 57 three-bedroom units, according to the lawsuit. However, in 47% of the one-bedroom units, 50% of the two-bedrooms and 100% of the three-bedrooms, at least one of the advertised sleeping areas lacks a window, according to the complaint. Under the D.C. Housing Code Standards, a room cannot legally be considered a bedroom unless it has a window or frosted glass that lets in a certain amount of natural light scaled to the size of the room, according to court documents. 'D.C.'s housing code requires windows in bedrooms as a matter of basic health and safety,' said Kate Scott, executive director of the ERC, in a news release. 'The complaint alleges that AVA NoMa skirted this basic requirement, and played fast and loose with its tenants' well-being.' Renters that don't use housing vouchers would not encounter any trouble leasing these units because of their bedroom windows. However, in order for a potential renter with a housing voucher to lease a unit in Washington, the unit must pass an inspection from the District of Columbia Housing Authority. An apartment advertised as a two-bedroom unit with windows in only one of its designated bedrooms would only pass DCHA inspection as a one-bedroom unit, according to the complaint. At that point, the DCHA would consider the rent charged — scaled for a two-bedroom unit — excessive for a one-bedroom, and the voucher holder would not be approved to rent the apartment. In the course of the ERC's investigation, which stemmed from complaints from its clients about not being able to rent at AVA NoMa, the organization found that the property's management may have known about the issue with voucher holders as early as 2020, according to the ERC. When ERC testers called the property to ask about renting with a voucher, the leasing agent told them directly that while vouchers were accepted, they would not be approved for many of the building's units, according to court documents. The plaintiff alleges that AvalonBay violated the District's consumer protection and anti-discrimination laws by falsely advertising its legal bedroom counts and preventing voucher holders from being approved for leases. It also states that voucher holders are actively encouraged not to apply to the property. AvalonBay Communities did not respond to a request for comment from Multifamily Dive. The ERC is asking for a judgment stating that the defendants violated these laws, an injunction requiring them to immediately correct their advertising and any other judgments as the court sees fit, according to the lawsuit.
