At the end of the year, it's customary for businesses to send holiday greetings or letters to clients, vendors, and other business associates. But what should you write that will sound professional and sincere without offending anyone's religious sensibilities? Here are some ideas for writing business Christmas wishes for your cards and letters.
1. Start before December and save. If you're ordering preprinted business Christmas cards or need to send your letter to the printer, get your order in before the end of November and you'll not only give yourself more time, but you'll often save money with order-early holiday discounts. Starting early also gives you extra time to decide what type of cards you'll be sending - do you want recycled business holiday cards, photo business Christmas cards, or some other type of card?
2. Make a list and check it twice. Make a list of all the business associates to whom you'll be sending cards and then order slightly more than that to allow for last-minute additions or errors in addressing, stamping, etc. Be sure to update and check your mailing list before sending, too.
3. Send early. Many people take time off near the holidays, so get your letters or cards in the mail in early December to make sure their arrive at your recipient's office before he or she takes off for the holidays. It also means that YOUR holidays will be less stressful because you won't be waiting until the last minute to send your business Christmas cards.
If you'll be using your own company letterhead or other Christmas letter paper to send your holiday greetings, you'll need to write a short letter to express your wishes. Here is a sample business holiday letter you can customize to suit your needs.

If you're sending preprinted holiday cards rather than letters, you will only need a good phrase or two for your card. But finding the right words to include in a business holiday card can be harder than creating something for your friends and family, as you probably don't know your clients and merchants as well. Here are some safe phrases you can include in cards for business colleagues without fear of offending most people. Here are some business Christmas wishes you can use.

Thanks for the great lens. Wish I would have found it earlier because I would have used more of your ideas. This was the first time I stumbled onto Squidoo... looks like I'm going to need to check this site out!
Thank you for the great ideas! I have been giving the joyous task of creating our company Christmas greetings and your lens has helped me.
Hey will surely be following your tips, they sound fun and interesting!
The lost art of letter writing is one that shouldn't be lost. Everyone should know how to polish out a nice, professional card to help them network and whatnot. Great lens!
Just the info I needed. Thanks for your great lens and your help with my Business Christmas messages.
Some really nice ideas in this lens. Glad I found it!
I found exactly what I was looking for! These are all wonderful greetings to attach to a facsimile cover sheet, or on emails. Especially, when you're the accounts receivable clerk at your job! :) Thank you!
Hi, Lovely lense and designs.
Thanks for the tip. The lens is great!
Even though this visit is bit late, I will use this for other occasions. Very nice lens.

Hi everyone - I just published an article on Effective Stress Management. If you are affected by stress, it helps to understand the cause and symptoms in order to find ways how to deal with it.
I hope you will find it helpful to tackle the stress in the run up towards Christmas.
i'll probably send some this year.
I liked it ... I hope more good posts like this.
My only tip would be to keep them short rather than go on and on. Dropped by to leave a little Squid angel dust this evening. Great lens.
Not particularly, sometimes a simple letter, sometimes quotes. The most important is the message and of course that you remember them.
We save over 1/3 the cost of christmas cards by designing and ordering the cards from an online printer. You can have completely customized cards and you don't need to have your logo or one personalized message only.
These are good gift ideas, we just have to be sure to get a company's or organization's logo accurately.
Good tips. Will use it for next christmas.
I want to take this special moment to let the founders and educators who do their best to keep families safe all year round a place for all to remember. Christmas only comes 1 time and families come together to pray for those in need. This has been adventure and keeps me wondering even more that you among all in this lifetime is well appreciated by me and my friends. Thank you for being that one person that makes other people's work simple and fun at the same time. Business only comes with good opportunities that we make by choice. Very happy to be a part of your family. God Bless Everyone!
Merry Christmas and Have a great day!
Thanks so much for the info. Its very helpful. Keep up the good work.
Nice! Pretty helpful. Will come back to this lens when my Christmas cards are ready for writing. Thanks for sharing.
Such great advice! With all of the marketing messages going out, a thank-you is a welcome treat.

Q: I want to make a function to add ":" to my alarm clock I'm making an alarm clock in C and it works fine right now. Only problem is that if I put in the time 12:00:21, it prints it out like a number, so like this 120021. I want to make a function that adds the : between the hours, minutes and seconds but I don't know how I am supposed to do it.
Here is the code
/*
*/

#include <stdio.h>

int update_time(int);
int main()
{
    int current_time;
    int alarm_time;

    printf("Enter current time \n"); //enter the time like a number. Ex: if the time is 12:00:21 enter it as 120021
    scanf("%d", &current_time);
    printf("Enter time for alarm \n");
    scanf("%d", &alarm_time);

    while(current_time != alarm_time)
    {
        printf("%06d \n", current_time);
        current_time = update_time(current_time);
    }

    printf("Alarm!");
}

int update_time(int c_time)
{
    int H, M, S;
    H = c_time/10000;
    M = (c_time/100) %100;
    S = c_time%100;
    S++;

    if (S == 60)
    {
        M = M + 1;
        S = 0;
    }

    if (M == 60)
    {
        H = H + 1;
        M = 0;
    }

    if (H == 24)
    {
        H = 0;
        M = 0;
        S = 0;
    }

    return H*10000 + M * 100 + S;
}

A: For example:
int H, M, S;
H = current_time/10000;
M = (current_time/100) %100;
S = current_time%100;
printf("%02d:%02d:%02d\n", H, M, S);

But in general I would advise to use seconds (or milliseconds) as unit of your variable and then do proper calculations for minutes and hours. This will then allow you to know more from the variable itself, for example you will be able to calculate time interval substrating two variables.

A: There are a couple of ways to achieve this.

*

*You can format a string in the sub-function and return that string.

*You can pass H, M, S by reference (I think this is easier).

*... (some other ways I can't imagine now).

int main(...) {
    int H = 0, M = 0, S = 0;
    ...
    update_time(current_time, &H, &M, &S);
    ...
    printf("%02d:%02d:%02d\n", H, M, S);
}

void update_time(int c_time, int *H, int *M, int *S)
{
    // int H, M, S; <=== you do not need this line anymore
    ...
    // do the calculation stuff
    ...
    return;
}

Association strikes gold with win
A housing association has scooped a prestigious national award for its eco-friendly homes.
Greenoak Housing Association beat more than 100 much larger rivals to win a Housing Corporation Gold Award for its work including innovative green homes in Woking, Normandy in Guildford and Storrington, West Sussex.
The success was announced at a ceremony in London on Thursday last week where Sir Duncan Michael, chairman of the judging panel, praised the achievements of the Woking- based association.
He said: "Greenoak's achievement in facts and figures alone greatly impressed the judges. It is a real success story and a fantastic example of how you can deliver eco-friendly homes and involve the communities you serve."
The homes are highly energy efficient and are produced using sustainable materials. They incorporate waste separation fittings in kitchens and are designed to curb the need for gas, water and electricity.
As well as new builds, Greenoak has improved the energy efficiency of its older properties so that its overall Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) rating is 92, against a UK average of just 51.
The rating gives homes a score of between 1 and 120 for energy efficiency, helping buyers to judge how environmentally friendly they are. Greenoak chief executive Diana Kingdon said: "We have had a programme going since 2000 making all our properties more efficient as well as our own offices so the award takes into account all of our operations.
"It certainly is a proud moment because we are very small — I think we are something like a tenth of the size of our nearest rival for the award. Greenoak takes its responsibility to tackle climate change very seriously. Residents play a key role in finding ways to save energy and water as well as improve recycling."


This is a very nice story I wanted to share. Really gets you thinking! Unfortunately, the path Alexander Fleming took to his place in history did not include the chance encounter described above. So yeah, this is just a chain letter that was drafted up very well. But either way, take what you will from this, hopefully something positive, and just make someone else's day brighter today.

More than 100 healthcare investors and executives gathered in Nashville for the seventh annual Health Care Investors Conference (HCIC), hosted by Bass, Berry & Sims and Deloitte.
Speakers weighed in on healthcare investing during this time of unabated political uncertainty and intense competition for deals. Specific M&A sectors spotlighted were physician practice management (PPM), digital health and post-acute care.
Panelists explored facilitating physician engagement and practice growth through a process and post-transaction.
Excellere Partners' Justin Unertl spoke about his firm's approach to physician practice investments. "We are deeply committed to a continual investment in people, process and technology, while accelerating a practice's organic and de novo growth initiatives alongside a robust M&A strategy." Unertl also referenced the strength of Excellere's radiologist-driven physician practice, Premier Imaging, where they have structured the partnership such that physicians carry a meaningful voice in all levels of governance within the platform.
Devin Carty, COO of Martin Ventures, suggested investors stay mindful of some larger trends that he believes will continue: Hospitals still need revenue growth and profit, patient care should be delivered in the lowest cost setting, with the highest quality and best patient experience, and deductibles are going to continue to increase, motivating consumers to be more involved in healthcare decision making.
On digital health wish lists: Self-insured employers are seeking tools to minimize benefits costs by providing employees with a high performance network of care and completely new models of care, which continue to push care into the home.
Moderator, Leigh Walton of Bass, Berry & Sims, kicked off the panel by identifying some of the value propositions in post-acute care, including: the aging population, increase in prevalence of chronic conditions, high value to cost ratio, technological advances, and patient preference for care at the lowest acuity setting possible.
Diversicare Healthcare Services' Joseph Deans noted the readmission crackdown on hospitals is positioning post-acute players, like Diversicare, as strong partners.
All agreed that the sector is ripe for technological advances, which could improve efficiencies and patient outcomes. Robert Walker of Apria Healthcare Group said, "The hardest thing for us is to get paid. Today, most of our orders actually come in through fax." His most significant recent transaction was a software play, boosting his company's administrative prowess.
The private equity panel agreed with Humphreys – it's a sellers' market. At the same time, they know they're buyers at heart. Ryan Kelley of Shore Capital Partners observed, "We're selling what we can, but at the end of the day, we're in the business of buying companies." The panelists – and audience – also unanimously agreed that the uncertainty in D.C. is not negatively affecting private equity.

Mother Denied Access to Late Daughter's Frozen Eggs
Very interesting story from Newsweek – full story Mother Denied Access to Daughter's Eggs
A British court on Monday denied a mother the right to serve as a surrogate to her daughter's eggs, which were frozen before the 28-year-old died of cancer. In the first case of its kind, a judge at a high court in London acknowledged that though the daughter had expressed her wish for children, she did not provide the appropriate written consent that would legally allow her parents to take possession of the eggs.
The woman's 59-year-old mother and the 58-year-old father took the case to court to challenge the Human Fertilization and Embryology Authority (HFEA), an independent regulator, which would not permit the couple to access the eggs after their only child died of bowel cancer. The couple were planning to transport the eggs to a clinic in New York City that said it would provide fertility treatment with donor sperm for about $95,000….The daughter froze her eggs in 2008 before beginning aggressive cancer treatment, the Guardian writes. According to testimonies from family members, she discussed surrogacy with her mother because she'd hoped that she would live to raise the child on her own. When her prognosis worsened, the daughter signed paperwork stating she didn't want her eggs to be destroyed in the first 10 years after her death.. see link Dead daughter's Eggs for more.

WHAT TO DO WHEN THE POLICE WANT TO TALK WITH YOU
I just finished watching an episode of The Fifth Estate about Interrogation Room techniques used on witnesses to break them down until they change their story….honestly it was very disturbing. I did a bit of research on what our rights (in Canada) are when we are requested by the police to give a statement. I found the following article:
What to do when the police want to talk to you
June 19, 2012 6:42 PM |
By THE NATIONAL
Part of our special report "Truth, Lies and Confessions", June 24, 2012
Philip Campbell is a criminal defence lawyer and partner in the Toronto law firm of Lockyer Campbell Posner. Since 2003, he has done ground-breaking defence work in wrongful conviction cases, including the exoneration of Romeo Phillion, who was wrongfully convicted of murder in part due to a false confession. He has argued cases and consulted on the subject of Reid-style police interrogation techniques and the issue of voluntariness of confessions.
Q. How do I know when I am about to be, or am being, interrogated as a suspect by the police, as opposed to just being questioned? Does an interrogation only happen after an arrest?
A. There is no bright and identifiable line between a suspect and a witness. If the police have developed clear grounds to lay a charge and fail to inform you of your right to counsel and your right not to speak, they may then be acting unconstitutionally and there is a chance that a statement given could be excluded from evidence. But people often go from being witnesses to suspects in the course of an interview without being able to recognize it. This is not a transition the police are required to identify or announce and they may not recognize it themselves.
Q. What are my rights when the police start asking me questions?
A. If you are under arrest or detained you have the constitutional right to contact a lawyer (and to be informed of that right and given an opportunity to exercise it — though, it has been held, only once). You have the right to remain silent if you choose to do so, without negative inferences being drawn by a court from that choice. You have the right not to be subjected to questioning so coercive that your free will is overborne. But questioning by the police can be very aggressive, accusatory, prolonged, wearying and frightening without being unlawful.
If you are not under arrest, you have one right more important than any other — to say that the questioning is over and that you are leaving the police station. You will not be informed of that right but it is always available and only a desire not to displease or alienate the police prevents many interviewees from exercising it.
Q. What's your advice to a person being interrogated, particularly an innocent person?
A. Never voluntarily subject yourself to a police interrogation where it is apparent you are a suspect or accused. If you are approached as a witness you can ask the police, on videotape, to confirm that you are being questioned only as a witness and that you are not in legal jeopardy. After an arrest, there is an enormous power imbalance. The police — hopeful of obtaining a confession, or damaging admission — will take advantage of your vulnerability, at least to the limits of the law. Your best choice is always to consult a lawyer and you have a right to free consultation with duty counsel.
I would never submit a client to a Reid Technique interrogation. It has, in my view, a powerful capacity to elicit confessions from innocent persons as it strips them of the ability to provide credible denials and to advance an innocent account of their conduct while subjecting them to relentless pressure. A technique that has such power to elicit a confession, while at the same time reducing its worth, is dangerous and deceptively convincing to a jury which can rarely understand why an innocent person, whatever the coercion, might say "Yes, I did it."
Q. How, exactly, do I refuse to submit to an interrogation? What do I tell the police? And can I refuse to enter the interrogation room?
A. The best way to refuse to give a statement is to repeat, as often as necessary, "I do not wish to give a statement or answer questions." Say that and nothing else — no explanation; no apology; no elaboration — just a simple, repetitive assertion of your right to remain silent. You will then be faced with innocuous questioning far from the core of the police interest. You should not fall into the trap of answering these questions because they will lead to more significant questions, and if you then assert your silence, that might actually be taken as a statement and look terribly guilty.
Under arrest you are within the lawful physical control of the police and refusing to enter the interrogation room is not a wise or useful strategy. Better to be in the room on tape if possible, repeatedly asserting your wish to remain silent.
There is a rationale for this and it is not the obstruction of lawful investigations. If you give a detailed, honest account of your actions, denying guilt of any crime, and are nonetheless charged, your convincing and heartfelt statement is unlikely to be heard by the jury. It is the prosecution, not the defence, which by law decides if a statement can be heard at trial. Thus, in a real sense, what you say to the police can hurt you, but not help you. And if you do have something to say which can decisively prove your innocence, there is little harm in telling your lawyer about it the next morning, letting the lawyer assemble the evidence, and then presenting it to the Crown who has complete authority over a case from the moment a defendant appears in a courtroom.
Q. If I tell the police that I don't want to talk to them, do they have to stop asking me questions? That's what the police do on the American cop shows.
A. No. Be careful here. The police do not have to stop asking questions when you say you want to remain silent. But they do have to stop when you ask to speak with a lawyer — at least the first time you ask. You and the police have, as it were, correlative and competing rights in the interview room. They have the right to keep asking and you have the right — without fear that it can be used against you in court — to keep declining to answer.
Q. If I am under arrest and brought in for interrogation, how long can the police keep me there if I tell them I don't want to make a statement or answer questions? When, or how, can I leave as quickly as possible?
A. If you are under arrest that means the police have (or believe they have) reasonable grounds to believe you have committed an offence. At that point they are entitled to hold you and you have no right to leave. The police are required to bring you to court as soon as practicable and in any event within 24 hours. This means, in effect, that you can be held until the next morning and are subject to investigation during that time. The police may choose not to hold you if they decide they cannot make a case that will satisfy a Crown Attorney and – ultimately – a jury, or they may hold you. Either way there is an end in sight to the uncomfortable process of being interrogated and your safest course is to consult counsel and say nothing until you know more about your situation and the evidence against you.
Q. When do I need to contact a lawyer? Isn't it expensive?
A. It is impossible to offer a formula for when you need counsel. Legal liability can arise in many unexpected ways. If you feel very nervous, it cannot hurt to ask a lawyer to speak with the police before an interview to find out the ground to be covered and to provide an experienced opinion on whether you face jeopardy. In police questioning you can probably tell you are at risk if you are being asked detailed questions about your activities; your relationship with a criminal or victim; your tastes or proclivities; or your location at a certain time. The same is true if you are asked to submit bodily tissues or fluids or to undergo a polygraph. These methods may be employed simply to screen large groups of people but it might be wise to consult a lawyer if you have any hesitation about such testing.
Duty counsel is free for persons under arrest or detention in Canada. But many lawyers will probably give you basic advice in a phone call from the police station, knowing that a retainer can't be arranged in the time period when you need the advice and supposing that if a charge is laid you may turn to that lawyer for representation. Do not ask for, or accept, legal advice from a police officer.
Q. What if I have information or evidence that proves I'm innocent? Why not tell the police about it?
A. If you can prove your innocence, or you want to give an account, you can do that in your lawyer's office. If you have concrete evidence, then give it to your lawyer. He or she can provide the evidence to the police or Crown and deal with them on an equal footing, possessed of complete rather than selective information.
Q. But if I don't cooperate with the police by answering their questions, won't that make me look like a suspect?
A. Yes, it may, and that contributes to the inequality. But it's not a reason to talk to the police. People are too concerned about looking innocent to the police. You should worry mainly about how you appear to a court where decisions about guilt or innocence are made. People think they can get themselves out of an awkward situation by talking to the police, and too often, they are wrong.
Q. What about co-operating until you get the sense that the police aren't believing your denials and continue to treat you as a suspect?
A. That is much worse than saying nothing at all. It's very bad to give the police some information, and then stop talking. If the case goes to trial, the jury will see you as having stopped talking and infer there are subjects you can't discuss because you are guilty. It's better generally not to say anything at all.
Q. Doesn't asking for a lawyer right away and refusing to talk turn me into a suspect, even if I wasn't one to begin with?
A. It may. The police are free to become suspicious from the exercise of rights and some — not the best — will do so. But police suspicion is not your primary worry. It does not provide reasonable grounds to lay a charge and contributes nothing to the case for the Crown.
Q. What if I am guilty, or complicit in some way in the crime? Is there any advantage to me in providing information or confessing to the police?
A. There may well be. But generally there is no need to rush into becoming a co-operating witness. In serious matters it can be a life-altering decision. Discussing it with a lawyer is always a good idea; he or she will know how to negotiate a deal for favourable treatment by evaluating the worth of your potential evidence and documenting a deal that will be honoured by the Crown and police.
Q. The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary has chosen to adopt the PEACE model of interviewing. Would your advice to a client be different in that jurisdiction in light of the policy change in interviewing techniques?
A. I have not had experience with investigative interviews based on the PEACE model and hesitate to comment on its strengths and weaknesses. Its stated goals – honest and direct factual inquiries and a renunciation of coercion, trickery and the exploitation of vulnerability – are commendable and a possible antidote to abusive questioning and unreliable confessions. I think that along with a change in policy, real reform requires a change in police culture. It would be gratifying to see the courts encouraging reform rather than holding that traditional interrogation techniques are necessary and, therefore, permissible. Once judges are persuaded that psychological coercion is not essential to effective policing, they are likely to ban it.
As to the effect on the advice of lawyers, remember that it is rarely in the best interests of a client to face police questioning in a setting where the interview could create admissible evidence against him or her. That is equally so where the questioning is performed with finesse and a genuine concern to uncover the truth. So lawyers would be unlikely to advise clients to speak freely with an officer utilizing PEACE techniques. But the point of reform is not chiefly to make people willing to talk, but to conduct a better interview when, as usually happens, they do.

"GIRLS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR RAPE"…DELHI BUS RAPIST
When I read this story this morning, my heart hurt. I just can't understand this way of thinking – unimaginable and so terribly sad….I have no other words.
One of the men, Mukesh Singh, convicted of gang raping a woman on a bus in Delhi in 2012 has blamed his victim for the fatal attack, saying "girls are far more responsible for rape" than men. Speaking from prison where he is awaiting his execution he goes on to say:
"A decent girl won't roam around at nine o'clock at night," he said.
"A girl is far more responsible for rape than a boy. Boys and girls are not equal.
"Housework and housekeeping is for girls, not roaming in discos and bars at night doing wrong things, wearing wrong clothes.
"About 20 per cent of girls are good."
"When being raped, she shouldn't fight back.
"She should just be silent and allow the rape. Then they'd have dropped her off after doing her and only hit the boy."
Police said the victim, known as "Jyoti", meaning "flame", was found with multiple wounds and had also been raped with metal bars, causing catastrophic internal injuries.

Favors expanded rights for illegal aliens in the U.S.
The Center for Community Change (CCC) was founded in 1968 by Jack T. Conway, a veteran of the Office of Economic Opportunity, which had led President Lyndon Johnson's War on Poverty beginning in 1964. Conway's aim in establishing CCC was "to honor the life and values" of the recently assassinated U.S. Senator Robert F. Kennedy.
In the 1990s, CCC staffed and housed the Indian and Native American Employment Training Coalition, which secured an extra $150 million per year in taxpayer subsidies for Indian job-training and employment programs. Moreover, the Center established a Transportation Equity Network, which successfully persuaded state and local political leaders to earmark more than $700 million in taxpayer funds for transit programs to help low-income residents commute to and from their jobs.
In the early 2000s, CCC created and staffed a National Campaign for Jobs and Income Support, which used its influence not only to (successfully) promote the allocation of an extra $800 million per year in child tax credits for the poor, but also to enable almost 400,000 previously ineligible legal immigrants to qualify for Food Stamp benefits.
�The Crossing Borders initiative was created jointly by CCC, FIRM, and CASA de Maryland to help "African Americans and immigrants" identify "issues of common interest" on whose behalf they could jointly agitate.
�More broadly, the Campaign for Community Values unites more than 300 grassroots organizations in an effort to identify shared political agendas which they can pursue together.
�The Health Rights Organizing Project, a leading member of Health Care for America Now, seeks to "expose the harmful role of the private market in our health care system" while "strengthen[ing] state and federal public-health-coverage programs." CCC's so-called "action center," the Campaign for Community Change, is likewise a member of HCAN, as is CCC's Tennessee chapter.
�The Housing Trust Fund Project lobbies for ever-increasing taxpayer subsidies for public housing.
�The Generation Change program trains and mentors new community organizers in an effort to build "the next generation of [progressive] leaders." CCC claims that since its inception, it has "nurtured thousands of local groups and leaders" across the United States.
In February 2009, Bhargava was a guest speaker at an event titled "Advancing Change in the Age of Obama," sponsored by the Liberty Hill Foundation. He lauded the President as a figure capable of bringing "structural changes" of "enormous" magnitude to American life.
In addition to Bhargava, some notable CCC board members include Heather Booth, Sara Gould, and officials from such prominent entities as the AFL-CIO (Arlene Holt Baker), the Service Employees International Union (Tom Chabolla), the United Food and Commercial Workers Union (Bill Dempsey), and MoveOn.org (Justin Ruben).
A former member of CCC's board was Peter Edelman. In 2003 Malik Obama—half-brother of Barack Obama—served as a senior accountant for CCC.
CCC is a partner organization of the American Dream Movement.
A constituent of the United for Peace and Justice coalition, CCC has received financial support from such philanthropies as the Ahmanson Foundation, the Allstate Foundation, the Annie E. Casey Foundation, the Arca Foundation, the AT&T Foundation, the Bank of America Foundation, the Bauman Family Foundation, the Carnegie Corporation of New York, the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, the Fannie Mae Foundation, the Ford Foundation, the Four Freedoms Fund, the Joyce Foundation, the Morris and Gwendolyn Cafritz Foundation, the Nathan Cummings Foundation, the National Immigration Law Center, George Soros's Open Society Foundations, the Proteus Fund, the Public Welfare Foundation, the Rockefeller Family Fund, the Rockefeller Foundation, the Scherman Foundation, the Surdna Foundation, the Tides Foundation, the Wieboldt Foundation, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, and the Woods Fund of Chicago.
The Center for Community Change Action (CCCA), which is CCC's "social welfare" (c)(4) arm, has also received large donations from a number of charitable foundations and activist groups. For example, in 2015, CCCA received $1,750,000 from Every Citizen Count; $1,475,000 from the Open Society Policy Center (a George Soros group); $610,000 from the Sixteen Thirty Fund; $150,000 from CCC; $150,000 from the Services Employees International Union; $75,000 from Atlantic Philanthropies; and $50,000 from the Tides Foundation.

Curious Facebook Research app invites extreme anger of Apple: In response to the practice of Facebook of paying users giving access to their device usage through the app, Apple expressed anxiety feeling in its own way; by disabling the company from distributing the controversial 'Research App'.
As per the latest technology news, Apple also appears to have stopped Facebook from worrying all apps connected with its enterprise developer programme.
The app came under the violation of App Store guidelines of Apple. The company lets developers publish certain apps for their own employees but not to the public due to their excessive control over the user data.
Very clearly, Facebook abused the guidelines to disturb the Research App to obtain usage data through non-employees.
With the restrictions of Apple, all special editions of Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and WhatsApp that Facebook employees use for testing, they will not work on iPhones.
This also means that other internal Facebook apps including workplace are not working on iOS.
In fact, Apple broke Facebook internally. The company confirmed that its internal applications are affected by the decision and it is working with the iPhone manufacturer to solve the problem.

Premises managers are likely to have to deal with a variety of vehicles in the workplace being used for many different tasks. The vehicles may range from road-going vehicles, such as staff and visitors' cars, delivery vans and lorries, to specialist handling equipment, such as fork-lift trucks, dumpers, side loaders, reach trucks and telescopic material handlers. GC Tranter reports.
While seemingly essential for running businesses, transport can be extremely hazardous. During 2011/12, 20 workers and 9 members of the public suffered a fatal injury caused by workplace transport. As well as causing death and injury, collisions involving vehicles can cause substantial damage to other vehicles, buildings or racking, and plant or equipment.
The Health and Safety Executive has produced extensive statistics that have identified four main areas where workplace transport accidents occur.
Moving vehicles that come into direct contact with people in the workplace.
Persons falling from vehicles during the loading and unloading operations.
Vehicles (including fork-lift trucks) that have overturned due to exceeding site speed limits, uneven surfaces in the yard, or unsafe loads that have moved, causing instability.
Goods that have fallen from a vehicle, striking individuals in the area.
No two premises are the same. The nature of the site, the activities that take place on site, the vehicles, employees, visitors and contractors, plus those making deliveries, all differ. Consequently, the control of risks from the movement of vehicles needs to cover a wide range of aspects. This article will concentrate on a key aspect of managing the risk of contact between vehicles and people, particularly where shared routes are used and drivers fail to see pedestrians or pedestrians fail to see drivers.
An illustration of a failure to put suitable control measures in place to separate pedestrians and vehicles is illustrated by an incident that led to the prosecution of Halfords Autocentres Ltd of Redditch. Michelle Sloan, who worked for Euro Car Parts Ltd (a supplier of parts to Halfords), had parked in front of the Halfords Autocentres reception to unload parts. As she reached into the back of the vehicle to remove the parts, a transit van reversed into her door, closing it and trapping both her legs. She suffered a torn tendon in her left knee and a severed tendon in the right one. A year after the incident, she was still struggling to walk and had been unable to return to work.
Halfords Autocentres Ltd pleaded guilty to a breach of regulation 17(1) of the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992, for failing to ensure workers and vehicles could move safely around its site. The company was fined £5000 and ordered to pay a contribution of £5000 to the prosecution costs of £5916.
site rules not being followed or enforced.
The premises manager must ensure that vehicles can use a traffic route without causing danger to the health or safety of pedestrians and those working near it. Whenever possible, the roadways and footpaths should be separate and, if this is not possible, adequate warnings must be in place. Cyclists are also vulnerable and, consequently, their needs must be taken into consideration.
Wherever possible, traffic routes should be separated by a barrier strong enough to stop a vehicle, and that is designed to guide and segregate people from the traffic. Barriers or rails should be positioned to prevent pedestrians from walking onto roads and to deter pedestrians from crossing at particularly dangerous points, e.g. entrances and exits to buildings and at the corners of buildings. If barriers cannot be installed, road markings can be used to set apart vehicle and pedestrian routes. The difference in level created by a kerbed footpath will clearly show the difference between a pedestrian route and a vehicle route. Pedestrian paths that follow the route that they would naturally use will encourage people to stay on them.
Where pedestrians and vehicle routes cross, there should be provision of appropriate crossing points for people to use. These should be suitably marked and signposted. Different types or colours of paving can be used to guide pedestrians to the crossing points.
On larger sites, footbridges and subways can be used to avoid the need for pedestrians to cross a traffic route. Care should be taken to ensure that bridges over traffic routes do not interfere with high loads. When a large number of pedestrians is likely to be crossing, for instance during a shift changeover, access of vehicles to the roadway should be restricted.
Many accidents are caused by poor visibility, either by pedestrians not seeing vehicles or drivers not seeing pedestrians. There can be several reasons for drivers being unable to see pedestrians, including blind corners, poor lighting or driving too fast.
Potential hazards, e.g. road junctions, pedestrians and instructions, must be clearly visible. Drivers and/or pedestrians and, where feasible, visitors should wear high-visibility clothing if they cannot be adequately segregated from vehicles. Where vehicles enter buildings, such as warehouses, there should be separate access doors for vehicles and pedestrians. Windows in doors can help drivers and pedestrians see whether it is safe for them to approach. One-way systems can be used to reduce risks at blind corners. Where this is not feasible, suitable fixed mirrors should be installed to enable good visibility at blind corners.
Certain aspects of vehicles can cause poor visibility; large vehicles, for example, can have zones of impaired visibility. Drivers may be unable to see into blind spots as the vehicle changes direction and there are obvious visibility problems associated with reversing vehicles.
anyone in the area should wear visible clothing, such as reflective vests.
Lack of knowledge, or misunderstanding of site rules together with the lack of enforcement of the rules, can lead to accidents involving vehicles. Speeding, pedestrians crossing at unofficial crossing places, and vehicles leaving their designated route can be a consequence of failure to follow site rules or lack of awareness of the rules.
Drivers and pedestrians who work on site need to be informed about the routes, layout and site rules relating to transport. New staff should be given information on site rules relating to traffic during their induction, and procedures should be in place to ensure visitors, particularly visiting drivers, are aware of the site rules. The speed limits for vehicles on site should be posted at entrances and around the site for reinforcement. There may also be a need for direction and priority signs.

Groundbreaking settlement on behalf of Southern African gold miners suffering from Silicosis and Tuberculosis is approved
Hausfeld is proud to announce that on Friday, July 26, 2019, the High Court of South Africa in Johannesburg approved a groundbreaking settlement on behalf of Southern African gold miners suffering from occupational lung disease. This historic class action settlement, the first ever of its kind in South Africa, reflects more than a decade of preparation and litigation aimed at providing compensation to gold miners who suffered from silicosis and tuberculosis over the last 50 years.
In May 2016, the Johannesburg High Court certified the case as a class action against most of South Africa's gold mining industry by a unanimous three-judge panel. Extensive negotiations over a three-year period with the defendants resulted in this landmark settlement. The settlement calls for the compensation of all eligible gold miners who suffered silicosis or tuberculosis and sets up a trust to provide medical examinations to miners and compensation payments. Benefits for eligible miners will be in the range from 10,000 to 500,000 South African Rand.
"This groundbreaking settlement brings much-needed relief to thousands of workers whose legal rights were ignored and forgotten. The High Court's approval of the settlement begins to bring justice to this system," said Hausfeld partner Richard Lewis.
Hausfeld, along with the South African law firm Abrahams Kiewitz Inc., first filed the case in August 2012. The case was consolidated with another action brought a few months later by South African attorney Richard Spoor, with assistance from Motley Rice, and these firms, along with The Legal Resources Center, worked together to achieve class certification and settlement.

I'm A Celeb's Arlene's daughters say they weren't 'embarrassed' to have an older mum
EXCLUSIVE: Arlene Phillips' daughters have responded to her emotional chat about being an older mum
Samuel McManusCelebrity and Entertainment Writer
Arlene Phillips' daughters have responded to the emotional clips of her discussing her insecurities about being an older mother on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!.
The 78 year opened up on becoming a mum to youngest daughter, Abi, at the age of 47 earlier this week, revealing she was told she should instead be a grandmother and wouldn't bond with her baby.
But Abi, 30, and her 42 year old sister Alana have now opened up exclusively to OK! about having an older mum, saying they were never "embarrassed."
Abi said: "We've spoken about it together many times before and she's explained the way she felt.

"I was already aware, it wasn't new to me but when I do hear about it or see it, I just want to reassure her that I don't see her any differently. She's my mummy and I've never compared."
Alana added: "The one thing she's always relayed is how blessed she was to have Abi.

"It was people around her that were surprised, she never gave it a second thought. She only ever felt what an absolutely incredible gift it was."
Abi finished: "Growing up, I always felt really proud to say that my mum had me when she was 47, I was never embarrassed.
"I think it's so amazing to tell people that she was fine and I was fine and everything's great.

"She was told that she would find it hard to bond with her daughter being older but that's just never been the case and I think, if anything, it's made us closer."
The former Strictly Come Dancing judge told her campmates during Wednesday night's episode: "My daughter Abi, I remember absolutely dreading taking her to school at age four and having to explain, 'No, I'm her mother, not her grandmother'.
"I had my firstborn when I was 36, Alana, and I was called a geriatric mother.

"But when I went to mother and baby in Primrose Hill, my obstetrician came up and whispered, I can never forget this, he kneeled down and he whispered, 'Have no fear, it will get better. Because you really should be a grandmother so you're going to have to find ways to understand how to be a mother again'."
Arlene preceded to tell her campmates that her response was to run away crying.

Artistry by the sea, this is Laguna Beach. Reminiscent of a European village, Laguna is recognized for its dazzling beaches, secret coves and cultural significance. A town teeming with life it still retains a small town feel. Built around a vibrant downtown village, Laguna Beach has become a renowned destination for homeowners and travelers from around the world. Rooted in the arts, with several famed galleries and renowned local artists, Laguna Beach has become famous for yearly events like the Festival of the Arts, and the Saw Dust Festival. It seems that every business has adapted an art form, whether it's a restaurant on the sand, or a boutique shop on Pacific Coast Highway, the beauty here, is hard to miss. Laguna Beach offers residents and visitors alike an abundance of activities, from magical culinary experiences like The Deck, or Broadway, to the live music played in the city, to a cruise down PCH on the local Trolley. Awarded for prestigious schools, sporting facilities, and wonderful outdoor spaces, Laguna is the perfect place to raise a family.
Separating Laguna Beach from any other location is the vast architectural differences between properties. Varying from small cottages in The Village, to modern or contemporary masterpieces in the hills or carved into cliffs and private coves overlooking the sand. Some of the world's most celebrated architects have designed homes in Laguna Beach, helping to draw even more attention to the area. Some homes provide private paths from their yards to the sand, but others communities provide residents even more privacy. Inside the gates of Three Arch Bay, Emerald Bay, and Irvine Cove, residents are privileged with an exclusive private beach within their community, accessed solely by homeownership. For those looking for their own sense of paradise on the sand, Laguna Beach offers some of the most beautiful stretches of sand in Orange County. Often hidden from the eye down neighborhood streets, or in small coves, you'll just have to explore a little further to find it. It's no wonder they call Laguna, The Riviera of the Pacific.

Sowing the seeds of tomorrow's breakthroughs
BY Ron Gilmore
MD Anderson faculty received more than $25 million last month from the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT) to support scientific investigation and recruitment efforts.
MD Anderson scientists have always received a significant amount of the research funding distributed by CPRIT. In late August, that trend continued.
"MD Anderson accounted for more than 40 percent of the funds available through this grant mechanism," said MD Anderson president Ronald DePinho, M.D. "Twenty-seven of our colleagues were awarded CPRIT grants, a huge success by any measure."
The August awards to MD Anderson bring the total received from CPRIT close to $62 million since the 10-month moratorium was lifted in October 2013, with awards going toward research, prevention, recruitment and training. In total, MD Anderson has received more than $185 million from CPRIT since it was formed in 2007.
CPRIT was funded via a state constitution amendment to the tune of $3 billion. The amendment authorized Texas to fund groundbreaking cancer research and prevention programs in the state. CPRIT's goal is to expedite innovation and commercialization in cancer research and to enhance access to evidence-based prevention programs and services throughout Texas.
The CPRIT awards are among many stellar examples of research funding successes experienced by MD Anderson investigators in recent months.
One notable research award was received by V. Craig Jordan, M.D., the renowned "Father of Tamoxifen" who joins MD Anderson in October to continue his groundbreaking work in breast cancer research and treatment. Jordan, who will serve as a professor in Breast Medical Oncology and Molecular and Cellular Oncology, received the coveted UT STARS and STARS Plus awards, which total $1.25 million.
UT STARS was initiated in 2004 by the UT System Board of Regents as a method for helping institutions to attract and retain the best-qualified faculty. The program allocates funds to purchase state-of-the-art research equipment and make laboratory renovations that will encourage faculty members to perform their research at UT institutions. In 2007, the STARS Plus Program was launched to help cover "start-up" resources that typically go beyond equipment and renovation needs.
Yet another recent example of new research opportunities, the Knowledge Gap Seed Funding program was initiated in the Moon Shots Program at MD Anderson, and is designed to bridge critical knowledge gaps and fuel innovation.
Under the leadership of Vice President for Translational Research Robert Bast Jr., M.D., and Provost and Executive Vice President Ethan Dmitrovsky, M.D., 11 MD Anderson faculty members were selected by peer review for 2014 Knowledge Gap Seed Funding. Each recipient will receive $100,000 in pilot funds for the next year to establish proof of concept and to develop a more detailed plan for extramural support and larger moon shots funding if breakthroughs are achieved.
"MD Anderson's excellence is reflected by our top standing among U.S. institutions in securing National Cancer Institute grants," said DePinho. "Our exceptional academic success also is fueled by significant increases in institutional support — derived primarily from philanthropy — for shared facilities, research projects and personnel, and graduate and trainee programs."

'Bumblebee' Review

moviebill
Bumblebee is a 2018 science fiction action film centered on the Transformers character of the same name. It is the sixth installment of the live action Transformers film series and a prequel serving as a soft reboot to the franchise in tone. Directed by Travis Knight and written by Christina Hodson, the film stars Hailee Steinfeld, John Cena, Jorge Lendeborg Jr, John Ortiz, Jason Drucker, and Pamela Adlon, with Dylan O'Brien, Angela Bassett, Justin Theroux, and Peter Cullen in voice roles. It is the first live-action Transformers film not to be directed by Michael Bay (but remains as producer), and Knight's first live-action directorial debut.
On the run in the year 1987, Bumblebee the Autobot seeks refuge in a junkyard in a small California beach town. Charlie, on the brink of turning 18 years old and trying to find her place in the world, soon discovers the battle scarred and broken Bumblebee. When Charlie revives him, she quickly learns that this is no ordinary yellow Volkswagen.

Bumblebee is actually a great Transformers film. I never thought I'd live to see the day. Bumblebee is without a doubt the best Transformers film to date. Don't get me wrong I really enjoyed the first one, but this is a genuinely great film.
This is almost everything I've wanted to see in a a transformers film since I watched the first one. The only thing missing was a little more action. I admittedly enjoyed (for the most part) Michael Bay's "Bayham" action. It was the only good thing about the last 4 films. The one thing they were missing was good characters and a good story. This film had both.
Bumblebee is a funny feel good film that manages to genuinely pull on the heartstrings. It's a contained, grounded, character driven film that makes for a good time.
Screenrant
The acting for the most part was great. Hailee Steinfeld was amazing in this film. She gives without a doubt one of the best performances of her career. She absolutely nailed this film. The film relied heavily on her performance and she delivers.
John Cena proves that he's a very capable actor, and I thought Jorge Lendeborg Jr did a solid job as the comic relief.
All in all I thought the acting was solid.

The story is the true jewel of this film. It does take heavily from Steven Spielberg's E.T, shares similarity's to the Iron Giant, and at times feels formulaic, but as a whole I just couldn't help but love it.
I'm a sucker for films like this and Bumblebee was no exception. It had some moments that really pull on the heartstrings, but it has the necessary depth and substance to make it very effective.
Hailee Seinfeld's character was relatable and very well thought out. She is the center of this film, and in my opinion the best part. They build up the relationship between Hailee's character and Bumblebee in a genuine and meaningful way.
Again there wasn't a ton of action, but the action we do get was solid. It was filmed in a coherent way and I knew what was going on, which is always good.
This could've been just another generic story, but they put so much time in the central character and the relationship that an otherwise formulaic story is pushed into the next level.
Bumblebee is a funny heartwarming film that manages to pull on the heartstrings, while also having some great action scenes. The 80's nostalgia was fun and I loved the score.
This has honestly restored some of my fate in the series, and for the first time in a long time I'm actually excited for a sequel.
Bumblebee is now my favorite Transformers film, and it truly was a great film.

Social and business trends have a big influence on the food supply chain. Changes in shopping behaviour can force retailers to rethink their business models and networks.
One of the most obvious visible changes is the growing number of smaller shops, such as convenience stores. Compared to hypermarkets and supermarkets, these shops have a smaller footprint and selective assortments.
This doesn't only affect the store but also the operations inside the retailer's distribution centre (DC) because of changing order profiles and, for example, the need for multiple replenishment shifts every day.
With increasing urbanisation, congestion issues could also influence future logistics operations. Combined with environmental awareness, future legislation might change. This will lead to the limiting of accessibility to certain parts of the city. Therefore, forecasting demand and efficient logistics operations from the warehouse through transport to multi-format stores has become even more important.
With greater concentration of business around cities, food retailers should ask themselves where to locate their DCs. For example, should they be close to the city centre but at the expense of higher investments per footprint?
Or does it make sense to select a logistics hub area with good infrastructure but also with the risk that, given today's labour scarcity, building and maintaining a solid workforce could become a challenge. And potentially a risk for both operational and business growth.
Another trend is the growth of online shopping. After general merchandise and fashion, the share of online purchases of groceries is also growing. Retailers are looking for ways to optimise their business models, including the 'last mile' operation.
In-store or dedicated pick-up points and home delivery options are all different ways to serve consumers. Special e-com hubs have been created within the new supply chain network to support direct delivery to consumers.
Next to the more visible developments, logistics operations behind the scenes are undergoing changes. Some retailers use dedicated e-com DCs, while others apply the picking of orders in their existing stores instead.
The level of automation also varies. Whereas some purely e-com players rely on a manual operation with DCs (that can be up and running in a short timeframe), others decide to invest in mechanised fulfilment centres at strategic locations. They may also decide to integrate their e-com operations within the DCs for store delivery – at so-called 'omni-channel' DCs.
It's difficult to tell which strategy will be the most successful. However, those retailers that are able to adapt fast-paced technological developments for their benefit will have a competitive edge.
This will require an ability to apply automated solutions in such a way that you remain flexible, both in terms of growth as well as in changing requirements and retail networks (e.g. store formats). The use of collaborative robot solutions can offer such benefits because with their growing experience and capabilities, it's relatively easy to upgrade robotics to the latest technology.
The availability of more data and the ability to predictively analyse this, can also bring big opportunities for optimising the logistics process. A better understanding of real-time demand and, for example, actual stock positions can bring efficiencies to the overall supply chain.
However, this will also bring new challenges because DCs will have to process orders in a shorter timeframe. This explains the higher levels of automation and search for less fixed infrastructure-based solutions by using, for example, AGVs.
Technology-wise, there are many options to choose from. To what level you need to automate the operational process in your DC depends on many different aspects, ranging from your current experience with technology to your position in the supply chain and what, for example, your suppliers and customers are doing in this area.
A phased approach might, therefore, be beneficial and this topic will be discussed in one of our next blogs, including some examples of how this can work in an actual operation.

Q: __builtin_return_address returns the wrong address I'm trying to get the address of the end of a function, so I use __builtin_return_address but it returns a value higher than the next declared funciton, here main:
uintptr_t foo( void )
{
    return (uintptr_t)__builtin_extract_return_addr(__builtin_return_address(0));
}

int main( int argc, char **argv )
{
    printf("foo:\t%zu\nmain:\t%zu\n", foo(), (uintptr_t)main);
    return (0);
}

output:
foo:    94718524985719
main:   94718524985687

But how is it possible ? How could main start address be lower than foo return address ?

A: __builtin_extract_return_addr(__builtin_return_address(0)) gives the address at which execution continues when the current function returns. In your snippet, this will be somewhere in main since the call to foo is in main.
32 bytes after the start of main makes sense.
When I compiled your code[1], it produced the following assembly and a difference of 26:
foo:
        push    rbp
        mov     rbp, rsp
        mov     rax, QWORD PTR [rbp+8]

        mov     rbp, rsp                       |
        push    rbx                            |
        sub     rsp, 24                        | 26 bytes

        mov     QWORD PTR [rbp-32], rsi        |

Home Crime New Legislation looks to bring in Corporal Punishment
Don Sulat
A controversial bill that would create Corporal Punishment, or more commonly known as Physical Punishment, as a form of Judicial Sentencing is in the works.
The Bill is going to be introduced by Democratic Senator Dwayne San Nicolas.
In an interview with PNC the Freshman Senator explains his view points and how this bill is his way of upholding his campaign promise on tackling Guam's Crime issue
Saying Nicolas said that, "their statistics have shown that it reduces crime and recidivism and it might also help us combat or deal with our growing prison population."
The Freshman Senator told PNC that following research the proposed Corporal Punishment was modeled off of Singapore.
"Singapore has a population of a little bit less than 2M and they've only had 7 robberies, I think it was last year… and crime in Singapore is almost unheard of. I think corporal punishment has a lot to do with a lot of that. So what we're trying to do is try to mirror what Singapore has done," he added.
San Nicolas added that that the bill looks to also model how Singapore does their form of Corporal Punishment, which is by a cane.
"I wanna try to implement Caning. It's a form of Corporal Punishment done by using a cane, a bamboo cane – thin bamboo cane. It would be inflicted on the bottom of a conflicted person."
As for how how this would affect a person's 8th amendment to prevent cruel or unusual punishments to those convicted of a crime, this was San Nicolas's response.
"My staff did a lot of research and we have rulings concerning school corporal punishment on children and so that's legal. That's determined to be legal. And if the courts don't find corporal punishment on school children cruel and unusual then we believe that a judicial sanction form of corporal punishment also wouldn't be cruel and unusual."
The Democratic Senator added that there is a process that one must go through prior to receiving corporal punishment, such as the person must be convicted and sentenced by a judge to receive the punishment, and must be medically cleared to receive it as well.
Currently the bill has no number and is still in the draft stage.
As for capitol punishment, or the death penalty, San Nicolas says that he's not opposed to that, but wants to go through corporal punishment first.

Michael Olkin posted an update in the group ArcGIS 7 years, 3 months ago
I'm finding ArcGIS.com to be very useful in cases where the Town needs to determine whether a trail is on public land or private land. In the past, personnel from our Conservation Department would send me GPX files collected from the field & I would have to go through a process of converting the data, then making a map with all of the appropriate layers. ArcGIS.com now includes the capability to upload a GPX file, which can be added to a map along with any other layers from available map services. Here's an example of a nice interactive web-based map that I made in about 10 minutes. It's of a trail (from the GPX file) with watershed land and private land displayed (from our map services): http://www.arcgis.com/apps/OnePane/basicviewer/index.html?webmap=5e184e06b1af4658ae5606de97458b51

MODL Forwards Road Concern To The Province
A request to to have a Lunenburg County road surveyed will go through the province. The Municipality of Lunenburg received information from residents in Barss Corner and Margaretsville asking them to help improve conditions of the Oakhill Public Road from Walburne Road to West Whales Lake. The residents are worried about the lack of public access to the lake. Municipality of Lunenburg mayor Don Downe says their hands are tied.
Downe says the municipality will write a letter on behalf of the residents to the Department of Transportation to outline their concerns.
Chester Warden Receives Diamond Jubilee Medal
It's obvious members of council and staff in Chester can keep a secret. Long time warden Allen Webber was presented with a Queens Diamond Jubilee Medal in a surprise presentation during council this morning. Deputy Warden Floyd Shatford says Webber is a deserving recipient after committing over three decades of his life to Chester through his role as a councillor and warden.However, Shatford says they wanted it to be a surprise.
Webber says he is grateful and humbled by the recognition from his colleagues. The medal serves to honour significant contributions and achievements by Canadians and was created to recognize the Queens 60th anniversary of her accession to the Throne.
Chester: Armstrong Brings Hard Work Approach
The incumbent candidate in the village of Chester says he'll continue to bring a work boots and lunch pail approach to the council table. Brad Armstrong is a carpenter by trade and says he wants to continue working hard on behalf of the residents in the village. Armstrong is being contested for the District 3 seat by local chamber of commerce president Ben Wiper. Armstrong believes a councillor needs to be available and accessible at all times and says he's done his best to meet those requirements.
Armstrong was first elected in 2008 and is looking for his second term. He feels his experience and dedication will be an asset on the next council.
Meisner Wants Increased Transparency At MODL
A mayoralty candidate for the Municipality of Lunenburg believes there should be more openness and transparency around the council table. Kirk Meisner has announced he will challenge Don Downe for the mayor's seat in municipal elections next month. Meisner admits he has no political background but spent 23 years involved with the onshore and offshore gas industries. He feels council has been tight-lipped about the LCLC.
Meisner also believes more could be done to attract young families to the municipality. Elections will be held October 20 province-wide.
Long-time Resident Running For Bridgewater Council
A lifelong resident of Bridgewater is going after a seat on council. Dennis Woodworth has lived in the town since 1971 and says the timing is right to represent the people. He hopes residents will take advantage of their right to vote.
Woodworth feels he would be best utilized at the council level because of his volunteer service and business experience in the town. Eleven other candidates are vying for a seat when e-voting opens October 11 in Bridgewater.
South Shore Gasoline Prices Expected To Increase
While gasoline prices in many parts of the country are expected to fall tonight, here on the South Shore be prepared for prices to actually rise above the dollar-forty a litre mark. For the sixth week in a row, the price of gas is up in New Brunswick today and thats usually an indication of what may happen here when prices are set late tonight. The New Brunswick energy and utilities board has increased regular self-serve almost five cents to a new top price of $1.40.8 a litre. The price of both furnace oil and diesel have fallen this week.
