Moving is often a stressful period, for whatever reason it is taking place. I feel it's quite a British trait to fear change. That anxiety of what the consequences are or whether it could be a step too far. It is true; there is always a risk factor associated but, change is something though often can aid our forward momentum in our route through life. Taking the plunge is often something that can really work out for the better, despite the fact it may not seem that way initially.
We have been in our new offices in Piries Place for three months now and absolutely love it. Having made the jump across town, it is fair to say we haven't looked back. There is a much more Horsham centric feel to this side of town and as much as our old offices at The Courtyard were ideally placed, we now feel we are in a perfect location in terms of our proximity to a lot of our clients. We were delighted to welcome so many people in to see our new abode at our official office opening and it was fantastic to see all the people that are part of the Horsham Publications story in this present day.
The move for us was a good chance to push the business in a new direction. I feel change in general does this. It gives you the ability to really revaluate where you are and where you want to be, a few years down the line. It's all too easy to become settled and of course this is (to a certain extent) a nice position to be in. However you often find when you are in this position, before you've even had the chance to think, the years have flown by. As hard as it can be, it's good to be constantly visualising this kind of scope in the back of your mind.
Embracing change really is one of the biggest cliché' in the text book but I really do feel it is a mentality worthy of endorsement. Pushing through that comfort blanket we often carry with us, in order to reap the rewards. The opportunities often present themselves and it is a case of taking them whilst they are there in front of you.

Forty-six tickets issued for violating Canmore's new parking restrictions
Parking restrictions behind Save-On-Foods were implemented in the spring to address the increasing number of people camping overnight in their vehicles behind the grocery store

CANMORE – Bylaw officers have so far handed out 46 parking tickets to drivers who have violated the Town's new early morning parking restrictions behind Save-on-Foods.
The new rules, which prohibit parking between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m., were approved by council in May in a bid to address the increasing number of people camping overnight in the area behind the grocery store.
Greg Burt, manager of protective services, said peace officers began conducting their patrols on June 5 after spending a couple of weeks with outreach staff to inform people about the new rules.
"We didn't want to catch anybody off guard, but we wanted to be clear that when peace officers showed up in the morning that tickets would be issued in that area," said Burt.
He said 80 to 85 per cent of the people his officers have encountered are passing through Town, while the remainder are people who are living and working in Canmore.
In those cases, he said he often gives people a warning before encouraging them to contact the Town's seasonal outreach worker, who was recently hired to better understand the issue and identify long-term solutions.
"Overall it's been positive interactions with us," said Burt. "When we're in the panhandle lot we're viewing it no different than when someone is in a two-hour parking zone, or a no parking zone."
He said his officers conduct three to four patrols a week in the area in addition to responding to public complaints about people camping overnight in their vehicles elsewhere in the community. He said a parking ticket costs $90 unless it is paid within seven days it then costs $45.
"We've started to receive complaints of people sleeping in their vehicles or parking their RVs on River Road and also on Kananaskis Way," said Burt. "The approach we're taking in those areas, because it's not purely parking contrary to a sign, is to knock on doors, wake people up and see why they are there and what their story is."
He said they also run the licence plate of each vehicle they come across to determine if they have already received a warning, however so far none of the vehicles they've run have received a warning.
In addition to enforcing the Town's new parking rules, his officers have also been counting the number of RVs and camper vans in Elevation Place, Home Hardware and the downtown lots.
The Town is also keeping track of the vacancy rate at Wapiti Campground.
"We don't have the numbers this year, but if we look back historically over the last couple of years, typically we would only have the municipal campground full on the long weekends, so I would bet there would be occupancy at this point during the week," said Andreas Comeau, public works manager.
Mayor John Borrowman asked at the June committee of the whole meeting how the Town is dealing with people camping in their vehicles on private property, such as behind the Home Hardware and Nutter's locations at the intersection of Main Street and Railway Avenue.
Burt said in those cases it becomes an issue of trespassing, however from an enforcement standpoint the property must be fenced or clearly state the parking lot is for customers only.
If it's not signed, Burt said an agent for that property can serve a verbal or written notice informing people they are trespassing. If they fail to leave they can then contact the RCMP and under the trespassing act fine someone $285.

Q: Update site automatically by calling a function I am building a news website using ASP.NET. I want it to be updated automatically by pulling new news articles. This is done by calling a function which downloads the updated json string.
How do i call this function every half hour in C#?
Or should i write this function in javascript and call that every half hour?

A: You can use Timer in C#
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        // Create a timer
        System.Timers.Timer myTimer = new System.Timers.Timer();

        //call method
        myTimer.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler(mymethod);

        //time interval 5 sec
        myTimer.Interval = 5000;
        myTimer.Enabled = true;
    }

public void mymethod(object source, ElapsedEventArgs e)
    {
        //your code
    }

Also, you can use SetTimeOut function in Javascript
setTimeout(function() {

//calls click event after a certain time
    that.element.click();
}, 5000);

OR
Use Task for this
Task.Factory.StartNew(() =>
    {
        System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000);
        CallMethod();
    });

A: Use below in head tag to refresh your page,
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="value">

Here value is in seconds. If you want to refresh page after 30 mins use 1800 as a value.

A: *

*You can set your website's data source to somewhere like Json/XML
static file or a DB.

*Create a scheduler which will look for new data in your specific
interval at your specific place where you are getting your Json
string.

*Your scheduler will update your data source which will update your news

A: By definition websites don' t have time triggers. Each request is independent and the server can be in "sleep" mode before requests.
But the problem you describe is pretty common.
There are few methods to solve it :

*

*Hacky method: having a page opened and some javascript making a call every XX minutes/seconds

*If you use Microsoft Azure, you can use Web Jobs future (free) or Scheduler function (free for 5 operations)

*You can develop a Windows Service witch will call your site every XX minuts. Exelent framework (free) is Quartz. You'll need to host this service on "always on" windows PC, separated from your web site

A: You should create a windows service for this. because it will run in background even after your website page is not opened.
Else
Use Microsoft Azure , it will help you to create your scheduler function that will keep continue to update your website content.

Artist Statement: I have had an interest in fabrics and sewing since childhood but didn't pursue it professionally until I moved to Virginia in 1977 when I began creating one-of-a kind women's garments.
I draw inspiration from the fiber arts of many cultures and enjoy mixing techniques and reinterpreting them with an eye toward translating traditional fiber art techniques into contemporary works. I integrate many types of fibers including vintage Japanese kimono silks, contemporary and vintage Indonesian ikats, dupioni silks from Southeast Asia and Australian Aboriginal designed cottons into my garments.
Over the past few years I have developed an imaginative approach to the Japanese art of sashiko. While jus a simple running stitch, it takes great patience to follow the patterns of intersecting lines while keeping the stitches even. Over the years the stitching of these designs has become for me a quiet, meditative practice for me. I use sashiko patterns primarily on women's garments but have branched out to apply this technique to wall hangings that reveal incorporate the signature features of my work including the use of deep indigo colored fiber, the integration of vintage kimono fabric and the stitched sashiko work which integrates the old and the new into contemporary and functional designs.


Takoyaki Rainbow have released the MV for their 4th single titled Money!! Money!? Money!!
Out September 20th, the single will be released in 5 editions.
Everyone knows that money is the best thing an idol can have, and their latest single features a catchy rapping sound all about it. From the golden coins to the Super Mario-esque sections, it's an incredibly glittery release that is sure to please fans of this shining metal.
The song is equally as impressive, with a strong upbeat rap sound combined with a rock chorus. In fact, the rock sections are the only non-shiny parts of the MV since they feature the members singing as part of a rock band.
It's a shiny and unique MV that's packed full of fun so make sure to check it out!

Donor human hearts cannot be preserved for >5 hours between explantation and recipient implantation. A better approach is needed to preserve transplantable hearts for longer periods, ideally at ambient conditions for transport. We tested whether Lifor solution could satisfactorily preserve guinea pig isolated hearts perfused at low flow with no added oxygen at room temperature for 20 hours.
Hearts were isolated from 18 guinea pigs and perfused initially with oxygenated Krebs–Ringer (KR) solution at 37°C. Hearts were then perfused with recirculated Lifor or cardioplegia (CP) solution (K+ 15 mmol/liter) equilibrated with room air at 20% of control flow at 26°C for 20 hours. Hearts were then perfused at 100% flow with KR for 2 hours at 37°C.
Lifor and CP arrested all hearts. During the 20-hour low-flow perfusion with Lifor coronary pressure increased by 6 ± 2 mm Hg and percent oxygen extraction by 29 ± 2%, whereas oxygen consumption (MVo2) decreased by 74 ± 4%. Similar changes were noted for CP, except that MVo2 was decreased by 86 ± 7%. After 20-hour low-flow perfusion with Lifor and 2 hours of warm reperfusion with KR solution, diastolic left ventricular pressure (LVP), maximal dLVP/dt and percent oxygen extraction returned completely to baseline values, whereas heart rate returned to 80 ± 3%, developed LVP to 76 ± 3%, minimal dLVP/dt (relaxation) to 65 ± 4%, coronary flow to 80 ± 4%, oxygen consumption to 82 ± 4% and cardiac efficiency to 85 ± 4% of baseline values. Flow responses to adenosine and nitroprusside after Lifor treatment were 65 ± 3% and 64 ± 3% of their baseline values. After cardioplegia, treatment there was no cardiac activity, with a diastolic pressure of 35 ± 14 mm Hg and a return of coronary flow to only 45 ± 3% of baseline value.
Compared with a cardioplegia solution at ambient air and temperature conditions, Lifor solution is a much better medium for long-term cardiac preservation in this model.

Stakeholder Engagement - Enbridge Inc.
Sabal Trail Transmission involved engagements with 2,300 landowners, 77 public meetings, and 182 reroutes.
~20,000 direct and indirect engagements with stakeholders and Indigenous communities in Canada and ~23,000 in the U.S. for our Line 3 Replacement Program from 2015-2017.
Obtained 100% of the 67 private landowners along our Line 10 Westover Segment Replacement Project.
~$5.4 million invested in nearly 450 initiatives to support communities surrounding our projects.
employees trained to conduct in-person outreach with emergency responders in the U.S.
Our activities with our stakeholders are governed by our core values of Integrity, Safety and Respect. Our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Policy commits us to timely and meaningful engagement with all stakeholders through clear, honest and respectful interactions.
We have an integrated management system for stakeholder engagement that supports our multi-disciplinary and risk-based approach to managing the planning and execution of all of our stakeholder and Indigenous engagement, inclusion and communication activities.
The system is coordinated, systematized and scalable, and incorporates standardized processes, procedures, tools and templates to enhance the effectiveness and provide consistency in our approach across all of our projects and operations. It is based on leading industry practices and global benchmarking systems, and further advances accountability, documented reporting and continuous improvement.
As shown in the diagram below, the system involves four stages—Analyze & Plan; Execute; Corrective Action; and Manage Performance—each of which has its own requirements and enablers.
We also engage with Indigenous individuals and groups living near our projects and operations in Canada and the U.S. However, because, in both countries, Indigenous Peoples have distinct rights, we acknowledge that they are more than stakeholders and have adopted separate corporate policies and management systems and accountabilities for addressing Indigenous rights. We have distinct policies and management systems and accountabilities for addressing Indigenous rights and building community based relationships. We provide more information on our relationships with Indigenous Peoples in a Disclosure Paper, available here.
We execute project-specific engagement plans to ensure that our communication and engagement with local stakeholders on new projects for which we are seeking regulatory approval meets or exceeds expectations and supports project advancement.
We have engagement plans at the regional level for our liquids and natural gas pipelines operations in North America to ensure that our performance on stakeholder engagement and communication is consistent and ongoing over the life cycle of our assets, as well as across our different operating regions.
Since the merger of Enbridge and Spectra Energy in February 2017, our stakeholder engagement teams have been working on integrating Spectra Energy projects and legacy assets into our project-specific and Regional Engagement Plans (REPs) and programs. The teams are sharing best practices to create the "best of" stakeholder outreach program.
Through our Regional Engagement Plans (REPS), we work to develop and maintain constructive, meaningful and long-term stakeholder relationships.
Our REPs are based on a solid understanding of the regional environment and an effort to learn what matters most— the priorities, interests and concerns of our communities and stakeholders. Our REPs not only ensure that our engagement is ongoing and meaningful to stakeholders and regulators, but also serve as a foundation of stakeholder information when new projects are initiated in a region.
The REPs are operational documents that we review and update annually. Plans are developed and measured using a number of best practice processes, including: stakeholder identification, analysis and prioritization; issues, risk and reputation management; integrated governance; objective and target setting; and outcome reporting. In each REP, we identify stakeholder issues associated with our operations such that we can be highly accountable for—and responsive to—grievances, concerns, issues and requests, and can address stakeholder concerns in a proactive way.
Our REPs help us to manage our stakeholder relationships in each region and ensure coordination between our project planning and operations. They also help us consistently coordinate our stakeholder engagements across our company. Our multidisciplinary teams execute REPs in an integrated manner, incorporating their experience and learnings from community engagement.
As each of our new projects enters the planning stage, we create customized engagement plans for them. These Major Project Engagement Plans (MPEPs) are proactive, two-way communication and consultation strategies designed to help us: understand stakeholder issues; answer their questions and obtain their input on our project plans; improve our awareness of more broadly based community interests and perspectives; and make changes to our plans based on what we learn.
Our MPEPs involve identifying and prioritizing stakeholders, tailoring engagement methods according to stakeholder priority levels, identifying and analyzing issues and risks, and developing mitigation plans and processes to respond to issues and risks that might occur.
To ensure that our MPEP is effective and appropriate, we reach out to stakeholders and their communities to get to know them, the local environment, and the potential issues that currently exist. We conduct our outreach through surveys, focus groups and meetings with community members who represent the potentially affected region. We engage and communicate through newsletters, fact sheets, presentations, project update letters, telephone calls, emails, advertising, social media updates, and community events and open houses.
We recognize that some stakeholders have concerns about our projects and operations, and we respect their desire to voice them. We welcome and encourage respectful, two-way dialogue and problem solving, and take all stakeholder grievances, concerns, issues and requests seriously. We carefully track issues raised so that we can effectively follow up and incorporate them into our REPs and MPEPs.
We offer stakeholders a variety of methods by which they can reach us, including toll-free telephone lines, in-person meetings and dedicated e-mail addresses. Our regional engagement plans also include opportunities for stakeholders to access us, and for us to listen and respond to them.
We have created processes to proactively manage stakeholder concerns and questions or complaints related to projects and in each region. We log issues as they emerge, identify and prioritize potential issues, and develop appropriate engagement or communication actions to resolve them.
In Canada and the U.S. we are required to maintain and deliver Public Awareness Programs to equip our neighbors—landowners, business owners, tenants, communities, elected officials, Indigenous groups, excavators and emergency responders—with the information they need on how to live and work safely near pipelines and associated facilities. Although the requirements for public awareness outreach vary between Canada and the U.S., beginning in 2018, our programs will be governed by our integrated enterprise-wide Public Awareness Plan to ensure quality and consistency of performance, while still ensuring compliance with regulations specific to each jurisdiction.
leveraging leading practices to continuously improve our Public Awareness Programs.
The following examples illustrate how we demonstrated accountability and responsiveness to our stakeholders through the initiatives in our Major Projects and Regional Engagement Plans.
NEXUS Gas Transmission: During project planning on our NEXUS Gas Transmission pipeline, we considered many alternatives and variations to the route as originally planned. In total, NEXUS adopted 239 route changes totaling about 231 miles (372 kilometers), which represents 91 percent of the pipeline route. We made these changes for a variety of reasons, including landowner requests, avoidance of sensitive resources or engineering considerations.
We received feedback through more than 20 public landowner information and open-house meetings, as well as thousands of public comments on the draft environmental assessment. The project team reviewed the feedback and developed a route that balanced landowner, environmental and engineering considerations.
Through proactive outreach early in the lifecycle of the NEXUS Gas Transmission pipeline project, the project team implemented a stakeholder outreach plan that was responsive to landowners and community members. For example, through more than 20 public meetings, the project team identified the importance of drain-tile systems to local farmers in Ohio and Michigan. In fact, more than 200 miles of the project—or approximately 60 percent of the project's total tracts—required work to existing drain-tile systems. Drainage systems are unique to each individual piece of land and play an integral part in a farm's productivity. Understanding that even the slightest disturbance to these systems could have a significant impact on agricultural operations, NEXUS worked with local farmers to select preferred drain-tile experts in the community. Through the collaborative process, NEXUS was able to implement a mutually beneficial solution that enabled landowners to use familiar, local experts for all pre- and post-construction drain-tile work. NEXUS also committed to extended monitoring to ensure that drain-tile systems continue to function properly.
Line 3 Replacement Program: Line 3 is one of our primary Mainline pipelines running from Hardisty, Alberta to Superior, Wisconsin. Our Line 3 Replacement Program (L3RP) involves replacing the majority of our existing Line 3 with new pipe.
By the end of 2017, we had recorded approximately 20,000 direct and indirect engagements with stakeholders and Indigenous communities in Canada regarding L3RP and 20,000 in the U.S.
We began construction on the Canadian portion of the L3RP in August 2017. Before the start of construction, we hosted open houses in Rosetown and Outlook, Saskatchewan and Provost, Alberta. The primary objective of these events was to promote the inclusion of communities in the vicinity of the construction.
For the U.S. portion of L3RP, we hosted meetings with landowners and stakeholders along our existing right-of-way to discuss the decommissioning of the existing Line 3, and engaged separately along our preferred route to answer questions and gain feedback on L3RP.
Enbridge has regulatory permitting for L3RP in place in North Dakota, as well as in Wisconsin, where construction is substantially complete. In March 2018, the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission (MPUC) ruled that the Final Environmental Impact Statement that was developed for L3RP is adequate. The MPUC approved the project in June 2018 subject to conditions and permitting, and we continue to anticipate construction getting underway in 2019.
Sabal Trail Transmission: The Sabal Trail Transmission Project is a joint venture of NextEra Energy, Inc., Duke Energy and Enbridge's Spectra Energy Partners. The company completed more than three years of community engagement, routing considerations and permit proceedings before beginning construction in August 2016.
While the route primarily ran in rural areas, Sabal Trail also crossed densely developed and economic growth areas near Orlando, Florida. Roughly 60 percent of the route followed existing rights-of-way, thereby minimizing new impacts. Sabal Trail crossed more than 2,300 landowner properties, 500 roads or railroads and 372 waterbodies. All told, 283 route changes were considered and of that total, 182 were made based on information gathered during extensive outreach efforts and surveys that began in 2013. Our project team built relationships with landowners, government agencies, organizations and businesses, holding more than 75 public meetings and hundreds of one-on-one visits with local organizations and public officials. Twenty-five environmental entities were consulted federally and in three states, which issued 40 environmental approvals.
Community engagement was paramount throughout the project's life-cycle, and Sabal Trail's stakeholder outreach program ensured focus on social needs. Stakeholder mapping identified community influencers, opposition, special-interest groups, and first responders beyond affected landowners and public officials. Communication strategies addressed education and transparency around economic and environmental impacts. Social-risk assessments defined community giving, which resulted in donations to 17 technical and community colleges, technology funding for libraries and schools, funding of youth programs that promote responsibility and community vitality, and funding of upgrades to first-responder communication. In addition, Sabal Trail provided more than $140 million of local construction economic benefits.
Project credibility was underpinned by public town-hall meetings and engagement with elected officials, non-government organizations, the media and key stakeholders. Sabal Trail's ability to successfully complete this mega project on schedule and within budget reflects the team's expertise in anticipating and navigating risks, experience in designing and executing complex projects, recognition of the importance of community engagement, and a commitment to deliver on our promises to customers.
In 2017, the Sabal Trail Transmission Project was named Construction Project of the Year by S&P Global Platts. This international award recognizes excellence in project execution and management.
Judges remarked on Sabal Trail Transmission's "resilience and long-term commitment" to the project. The company completed more than three years of community and political engagement, routing considerations and permit proceedings before beginning construction in August 2016, according to S&P Global Platts.
Award judges also noted the project's "large financial impact on the local economy" in the communities along the pipeline route.
During peak construction, the project employed more than 6,000 workers. Sabal Trail is estimated to provide permanent economic impacts of $22 million in annual wages and $74 million in total economic output. Approved expansions of Sabal Trail will add 270 million cubic feet per day of capacity by 2021, supporting regional growth and conversions from fuel oil and coal.
Under our Line 10 Westover Segment Replacement project, we are replacing 35 kilometers of existing 12-inch diameter pipe with new 20-inch pipe, from our Westover Station in Ontario to the Binbrook area near Hamilton, Ontario. By replacing this segment, rather than conducting preventative maintenance on it, we will minimize the degree to which we disturb landowners and the environment along the right-of-way.
In developing the project, we identified and prioritized our stakeholders, analyzed and understood local issues, put mitigation plans in place, and developed a process for quick responses to stakeholder risks and concerns. Proactive engagement with regional and local elected officials and their staff was effective in keeping decision makers informed about the project. Our advanced risk and issue identification also enabled us to respond to municipal government questions about the scope and need for the project.
Our strategy resulted in thousands of direct and indirect engagements with stakeholders, including a number of open houses, over 400 engagement activities with local leaders and over 1,000 face-to-face meetings with landowners. Our early proactive engagement with landowners, conservation authorities, and municipal authorities allowed sufficient time during the project development to finalize the best route for the project to avoid residential and other sensitive areas. We were ultimately able to enter into agreements with all of the 115 private landowners along the project's right-of-way.
The federal government approved the project in early 2017. In their decision, the three Hearing Panel members noted that we had revised the project based on consultation from stakeholders. Our engagement activities on project conditions and other stakeholder issues continued in 2017. The project is expected to be completed in 2018.
Over the course of 2017, we made significant progress towards the development of a consistent Enbridge-wide approach to our Public Awareness Programs, including the integration of learnings and best practices from Spectra Energy's programs. Following are highlights of our performance in delivering programs over the year.
Emergency Responder Education Program: In the U.S., we have operated our Emergency Responder Education Program since 2013 as a way to build meaningful and lasting relationships with emergency officials near our pipelines and facilities. By the end of 2017, we had trained more than 200 employees to conduct in-person outreach with emergency responders using a variety of methods, including (but not limited to) emergency response presentations, facility tours and tabletop exercises. During these visits, we shared information about our pipelines, including how to initiate a safe and effective response in the unlikely event of an emergency.
Employees in Canada deliver a similar outreach program. In 2017, they carried out more than 240 visits with municipal officials, first responders and 9-1-1 dispatchers near our liquids pipelines.
We maintain contact with several key groups who are near our pipelines and facilities across North America—including communities, elected officials, landowners, Indigenous groups, excavators and emergency responders—on an ongoing basis. It's an opportunity to share important information, hear about experiences, respond to questions and provide updates on Enbridge's safety, prevention and maintenance programs.
Annual mailings are sent to key stakeholder audiences along the approximately 17,000 miles of pipeline operated by Enbridge in the U.S and in Canada. The various mailings communicate important pipeline safety and damage prevention messages.
Our Utilities businesses are also committed to public awareness.
Union Gas Public Awareness and Continuing Education: In 2017, Union Gas delivered the Canadian Gas Association Fire Fighter and First Responder Natural Gas Awareness presentation to 240 fire departments throughout Ontario, and delivered the Municipal Education and Advocacy presentation to 11 municipalities in the province. In addition, Union Gas mailed a brochure titled "Safety and Emergency Information for Residents within Emergency Planning Zones" to more than 9,400 Ontario residents. The brochure covers topics such as pipeline operations and maintenance, our emergency preparedness and response program, how to detect and report a leak, and "Call Before You Dig".
Enbridge Gas Distribution (EGD) Public Awareness: In 2017, EGD's proactive communication focused on key risks—gas leaks/smell of gas; Call Before You Dig/safe digging; and carbon monoxide/appliance safety. When needed, EGD also informed customers about seasonal topics, such as flooding, barbecue safety, and meter safety. EGD communicates this information through bill inserts, the EGD website, videos and digital channels (Twitter, Instagram and YouTube). EGD set up its 'Smellfie Booth' throughout Ontario, which gave us the opportunity to have more than 100,000 meaningful conversations with our customers and the public about the smell of natural gas and the steps they should take if they suspect a natural gas leak. EGD's targeted social media campaign during Carbon Monoxide Awareness Week resulted in more than 44,000 visits to our carbon monoxide safety webpage, an increase of 36,000 from 2016. EGD continued to support Project Zero through a donation of $100,000, which was used to purchase more than 3,000 combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarms for residents in 15 municipalities in Ontario.
EGD also completed an annual mail-out—containing information about natural gas pipeline safety, damage prevention and emergency response—to landowners, tenants and businesses who live or own property within 200 meters on each side of NEB regulated pipelines.
In 2017, Union Gas continued to support public education delivered by fire departments so customers can acquire fire-safety knowledge that helps protect their families and communities. For example, Union Gas provided funding that allowed fire departments to buy education materials that teach children about fire safety and burn prevention. Union Gas's dedication to fire departments also includes helping ensure that community members have lifesaving early-detection smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. Union Gas donated about $30,000 to 20 fire departments in 2017, and strongly believes that working with fire departments helps keep our communities informed and safe.
Safety is at the heart of everything we do at Enbridge. Launched in 2002 in the United States and in 2009 in Canada, our Safe Community Program has helped support everything from new firehoses and professional training and educational programs, to "jaws of life" extrication tools for fire departments and automated external defibrillators. Through the program, we have even provided major financial support to air ambulance services.
A donation to the St. Louis County Volunteer Rescue Squad in Minnesota paid for new ropes, pulleys, harnesses, carabiners and AZTEK rigging systems. Read more here.
A donation for a drying cabinet that will remove carcinogens from firefighters' bunker gear. Read more here.
The purchase of a new piece of life-saving technology for paramedics in Saskatchewan's Heartland Health Region. Read more here.
You can learn more about our Safe Community Program here.
We extend benefits to the communities where we live and operate by investing in community-based projects or initiatives of shared interest and priority that we have identified through our Major Project Plans and Regional Engagement Plans.
We use a standardized approach to ensure that our community investments align with our corporate strategies, address key stakeholder feedback and project-specific community needs, and benefit both local communities and our company.

In recent years, Alexander City in Tallapoosa County, Alabama has struggled with the same economic challenges as many other small towns and cities in the U.S. When a major industry that employed nearly 7,500 people moved out of the area, the Chamber of Commerce and city government needed something substantial to keep community members and their businesses from moving to larger nearby cities. Sabal Trail Transmission's interstate natural gas pipeline* originates in Tallapoosa County, and during the early stages of the pipeline's design and development, Sabal Trail staff became aware of the Chamber's and city's efforts to develop a business incubation and innovation center, which would encourage organic business growth and provide a location for the Chamber to showcase the economic-development potential and opportunities of the Alexander City area.
As a result, Sabal Trail donated almost $165,000 for the development of the Lake Martin Innovation Center in Alexander City, a model of community enterprise and corporate partnership. The center features more than 17,000 square feet of productive work space, including offices, meeting rooms, high-speed internet and video conferencing facilities. The center immediately acquired tenants that would otherwise have moved away from Alexander City. In less than a year, the center had hosted seven full-time tenants and more than 20 co-working members. New businesses within the facility have created more than 40 new jobs, and the Chamber of Commerce and their members have hosted more than 130 events, meetings and workshops in the building.
"The financial support of Sabal Trail made the Innovation Center a reality," said Ed Collari, President and CEO of the Alexander City Chamber of Commerce. "Sabal Trail has proven that they are committed to our community and its long-term growth and development." Since placing Sabal Trail's Alexander City Compressor Station in service in June 2017, the town is now home to five full-time Enbridge employees.
* Sabal Trail Transmission, LLC (Sabal Trail) is a joint venture of Spectra Energy Partners, an Enbridge company; NextEra Energy, Inc.; and Duke Energy. Sabal Trail's 515-mile (829-kilometer) pipeline, which entered service in 2017, is transporting natural gas for power generation to Florida Power and Light and Duke Energy of Florida.
As part of its commitment to supporting communities where we work and operate, NEXUS Gas Transmission, a 257-mile (414-kilometer) natural gas transmission pipeline project in Ohio and Michigan, awarded a total of $250,000 in education and workforce development grants to five community colleges. For example, NEXUS partnered with Eastern Michigan University to provide a $50,000 grant to purchase much needed construction safety training equipment. The NEXUS project team believes in supporting educational programs that can lead to STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) and other energy infrastructure careers, or programs that will aid in growing community vitality.
Since 2007, Enbridge has contributed over $100,000 to the Fort St. John Hospital Foundation in British Columbia in support of the acquisition of critical and substantial pieces of medical equipment. The Foundation works closely with the hospital authorities to identify and prioritize the needs of the Fort St. John Hospital and Peace Villa Residential Care Facility to ensure that the Fort St. John community has access to the best medical care possible.
1) From your perspective, how important is the partnership between Enbridge and our Superior Terminal and the Superior Fire Department, as well as with the Superior Petroleum Partners (SPP) group?
Both are very important. For Enbridge, we provide primary emergency response to their Superior Terminal; and through our partnership with them, Superior Fire Department receives the training and equipment necessary to respond adequately to protect the city's and Enbridge's assets. Since 2012, Enbridge has provided Superior Fire Department with about $600,000 in training and equipment.
The SPP group is a public-private partnership comprised of Enbridge, Husky Energy and Plains Midstream, as well a Superior Fire Department. It is a mutual aid group designed to respond to any industrial-sector emergency that may arise in Superior. The SPP works together to share resources, as well as train and plan together for emergencies so that we can provide a more effective and coordinated response.
2) How have these partnerships benefited Superior Fire Department and others?
With the training and equipment we've received from Enbridge, and through the work we're doing jointly with the SPP, Superior Fire Department is in a stronger position to respond to the type of emergencies that could occur in these industrial facilities. And by doing that, we're providing greater safety to residents, workers and our firefighters. These industries are also extremely important assets to our community, and it is critical that we're prepared to protect them. Also, as a municipal fire department with an industrial firefighting component, we're a greater resource to surrounding communities that don't have these types of capabilities.
3) How have the joint training exercises with the Superior Terminal and the SPP group increased the capability within the Superior Fire Department?
Training exercises are vital to proper emergency-response training. These partnerships have offered unique opportunities for our teams to work together and our firefighters to become more familiar with equipment and the facilities. The SPP held its first fully-fledged training exercise at Enbridge's Superior Terminal in the summer of 2017; and in 2018, Superior Fire Department and Husky Energy's emergency response team will hold their first joint training exercise, also at Enbridge's Superior Terminal. Exposure to training exercises within the terminal aids our department in developing an efficient and effective response. The SPP also holds monthly refinery safety meetings, through which Superior Fire Department firefighters receive updates on facilities, equipment and resources.
4) What are some of Superior Fire Department's future initiatives/plans for your Enbridge and SPP partnerships?
Administratively, the SPP is drawing up a formal mutual-aid agreement so the path will be clear on how best to deploy resources to participating parties. SPP members will also visit Husky's refinery in Lima, Ohio to learn more about their response planning and capabilities. And last but not least, in the spring of 2018, Superior Fire Department began construction of a new headquarters station, which will include space to store Enbridge-purchased industrial firefighting equipment, making this equipment readily available for our firefighters to maintain and deploy. All of these are excellent steps forward. We must work together and train together if we're going to function together. When it comes to responding to emergencies, it's essential that all of us are on the same page.

Free Press and Detroit Public Television join forces to support the arts
Free Press Staff
The Free Press and Detroit Public Television are partnering to support arts and culture in the Detroit region. As the arts community copes with the coronavirus pandemic, the media entities will come together to share content and programming initiatives.
"We are announcing this partnership in the spirit of today's special section devoted to arts and culture at this difficult time," Free Press editor Peter Bhatia said. "Both DPTV and the Free Press are dedicated to public service, and to our communities."
The Free Press will support DPTV's and WRCJ's Detroit Performs series of concerts from the past and today, and DPTV arts experts will occasionally be featured in the Free Press. When we ultimately emerge from this stay-at-home work world, the two media organizations plan to collaborate on an event series to help bring performance back to our region and to promote fundraising efforts to support local arts organizations.
"Today, the community needs local media more than ever to deliver reliable up-to-date news and information as well as serving as a partner in meeting the challenges we collectively face," Rich Homberg, president and CEO of Detroit Public TV, said. "Working together, the Detroit Public TV and the Detroit Free Press are committed to helping the people of Detroit and the region survive this crisis and plan for a better, safer and equitable future."

Карл Олаф Зонне (, повне ім'я Карл Олаф Арбо Кофоед Зонне, ; , Сванеке, острів Борнхольм — , Копенгаген) — данський науковець, паразитолог та бактеріолог, відомий виявленням одного з видів роду шигел, який названий на його честь Shigella sonnei.

Був сином Олафа Матіаса Кофоеда Лассена Зонне та Андреа Джуліани Кууре, виріс у Сванеке, провінційному місті на Борнхольмі. Мав 6 братів та сестер. Закінчив Копенгагенський університет у 1907 році, потім працював у Державному інституті сироватки крові, у 1915 році виявив у хворого на дизентерію бактерію, відому нині як Shigella sonnei.

З 1913 по 1917 рік Зонне був лікарем-резидентом в університетській клініці Rigshospitalet у Копенгагені. Тоді він інтенсивно співпрацював з данським бактеріологом Гансом Грамом. З 1918 по 1929 рік був керівником експериментальної лабораторії в інституті Фінзена. Тут він одним з перших показав, що сонячне світло утворює вітамін D у шкірі та пояснив його цінність при лікуванні рахіту. Одним з його головних наукових інтересів була фізіологія дихання.

У жовтні 1909 року він одружився з Марі Йоганною Петерсен. У них було четверо дітей: Олаф, Карен, Лассен Малер (доктор медицини) та Мая Кіркебі.

As per December 19th 2008, TreasuryMetrics has merged with Treasury Services by means of a takeover of TreasuryMetrics by Treasury Services. Through the merger, all the rights and obligations of TreasuryMetrics have been taken over by Treasury Services. For our valued customers nothing will change. Contact persons, contact addresses and the helpdesk function for our software will remain as it was.
The activities of both entities follow each other naturally. After the merger, Treasury Services will be able to offer total Treasury solutions to its customers via the combination of Consultancy & Advice, Implementation Assistance, Education & Training, Interim Management, Financial Engineering solutions and Software solutions. This all can now be offered though one single entity. Further, the combination of our expertise in the area of Treasury, Applied Mathematics, Information Technology and Accounting, together with the long lasting international experience of our people, will supply us with unique competitive advantages.
After the merger, Treasury Services will have a solid balance sheet with a significant equity position. We will be able to show to existing and potential customers that Treasury Services is a solid organisation and we will be able to underline our determination to make Treasury Services a reliable and leading "Total Treasury Solutions Provider" within Europe. The "Kempen", the area of our roots, demonstrated to be an excellent central basis.
Through the merger, we will be able to invest further in Treasury Services so that we can expand our organisation, and if required, we can finance this completely with our existing liquidity position. The financial crisis, which expanded further in 2008, has made us decide to remain completely independent of external financing suppliers. Being Treasury specialists, we did not neglect to manage our own balance sheet and equity position.


→ After outgoing FDA commissioner Scott Gottlieb threw a spanner in the works earlier this year for peanut allergy drug developers — Aimmune $AIMT and DBV Technologies $DBVT — suggesting in a series of tweets that allergenic products are not covered by user-fees, and consequently do not qualify for the PDUFA process, Aimmune on Monday offered some clarity regarding its marketing application. The BLA for its product — AR101 — has been accepted for review and will be mulled over by the FDA over 12 months. This period still keeps it ahead of arch rival DBV, which rescinded its application last December — due to manufacturing concerns — and plans to resubmit in the third quarter. Aimmune had submitted its application to the FDA late last year — but the US government shutdown stuttered the regulator's acceptance. "The FDA has informed Aimmune that the BLA will be reviewed…as measured from the January 2019 start date. As a consequence, review of the BLA may take until late January 2020. Aimmune is currently engaged in discussions with the FDA regarding the review timeline for the AR101 BLA. The FDA expects to convene an advisory committee meeting to discuss the application," Aimmune said in statement.
→ A tiny, recently public biotech has reported early data that might serve to revive its shaky fortunes. PhaseBio, which went public last October, showed its experimental drug PB2452 was able to swiftly and sustainably reversed the effects of AstraZeneca's $AZN anti-clotting drug Brilinta in a Phase I study — data were unveiled on Sunday at the American College of Cardiology (ACC) in parallel to publication in the New England Journal of Medicine. The drug — in-licensed from the British drugmaker — reversed Brilinta's effects within 5 minutes after administration and was sustained for more than 20 hours (p<0.001). The monoclonal antibody is being developed to reverse the antiplatelet activity of Brilinta in major bleeding and urgent surgery situations. "Since the IPO, PHAS has traded poorly as the story was perceived as 'early' and shares got caught up in the biotech sell-off last December. The well-received ACC presentation, and especially the surprise NEJM publication, should right the ship, in our view, as investors learn more about PB2452 and its significant market potential. From here, PHAS plans to launch a P2a study to confirm dosing in an older healthy-for-age population, with data expected around mid-year," Stifel analysts wrote in a note. Shares of the drug developer $PHAS shot up about 74.5% at $6.49 in early Monday trading.
→ At the Society of Gynecologic Oncology 50th Annual Meeting on Women's Cancer, Leap Therapeutics offered an early positive snapshot of data from an ongoing mid-stage study testing its drug, DKN-01, as a monotherapy and in combination with chemotherapy paclitaxel in patients with relapsed/refractory endometrioid endometrial cancer (EEC) or endometrioid ovarian cancer (EOC). Patients, including those with carcinosarcoma and Wnt pathway alterations, have experienced partial responses and durable clinical benefit in either arm of the study, the company said, adding that the complete data set will become available in the coming months. Shares of the Cambridge, Massachusetts-based drug developer $LPTX jumped about 19% at $2.67 in Monday morning trading.


Close your eyes. Open your mind. You will be unprepared. From the Spartan slaughter of 300 to the visionary world of Watchmen, writer/director/producer Zack Snyder has transported audiences into visual dreamscapes of his creation. His latest cinematic mind trip takes us into the vivid imagination of a young girl (The Uninvited's EmilyBrowning) whose dream world provides the ultimate escape from her darker institutionalized reality. Unrestrained by the boundaries of time and place, she is free to go where her mind takes her, but her incredible adventures blur the lines between what's real and what is imaginary. Locked away against her will, but determined to fight for her freedom, she and four other girls battle everything from serpents to samurais on an unbelievable journey to set themselves free.

Critics Consensus: It's technically impressive and loaded with eye-catching images, but without characters or a plot to support them, all of Sucker Punch's visual thrills are for naught.
Parents need to know that this comic book-like fantasy from the director of 300 has disturbing scenes that show men taking advantage of women ... whose sole purpose is to entertain the men. The main female characters are clad in skimpy clothing for much of the movie, too, which seems hypocritical, given that the film is about how a band of oppressed girls take back their power -- the movie ends up reinforcing some of the stereotypes it's theoretically out to bust. Though the fight scenes are often cartoonish in nature, they're unrelenting and brutal, including shoot-outs, swordfights, stabbings, beheadings, and the threat of sexual assault. There's some swearing ("s--t"), too.
