Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton is known one of the more level-headed guys in the NFL. However, everyone has their breaking points and apparently, Newton came to his when he got into a scuffle with Panthers defensive back Josh Norman at training camp Monda morning.
The Charlotte Observer first broke the news and shared a video and photos of the fight. It took nearly a dozen players to break up the fight.
The fight broke out around 10:30 a.m. during a passing drill at the Panthers camp at Wofford College. Head coach Ron Rivera and defensive coordinator Sean McDermott had gotten upset with the defense about not going hard enough during practice.
That is what gave fuel to the fire with the fight.
Norman intercepted a pass from Newton and proceeded to run towards the opposite endzone. Newton gave chase and shoved Norman, which caused a reaction from the top cornerback on the team. The two broke out into the scuffle that actually went to the ground.
Maybe this was fight was caused by tempers flaring or the players being frustrated about their practice not going the way they had hoped. Either way, I'm sure the beef between the two is now non-existent and they have probably made up by now.
At least, the Panthers better hope they have.


The Minister for Transport has agreed to explore MSP Rona Mackay's call to re-twin the Westerton to Milngavie railway line.
The Strathkelvin and Bearsden MSP asked Humza Yousaf during a portfolio questions session in the Scottish Parliament on Wednesday November 9.
Ms Mackay highlighted the line was the worst performer in Scotland in the last year, and that trains are regularly skipping stations.
The main cause of that disruption is the single track. A twinned track, as formerly existed, would ease disruption and allow the rail halt that has been proposed by East Dunbartonshire Council.
Ms Mackay said: "This is massive progress, to have the Minister for Transport on board investigating the re-twinning of the Westerton to Milngavie line.
"I was delighted to get the opportunity to put this to the minister because constituents of mine and Gil Paterson's have had enough of these delays and skip-stopping.
"Gil and I will be pushing for this line to be re-twinned and then for the proposed rail halt at Allander to be built as the council has proposed.
In the latest data published on June 24 for the last 12 month, it shows that of all 77 stations in the statistics, Milngavie was listed as the worst performer.

Condominium Security, News
As holiday parcel deliveries increase, new challenges emerge for condominium managers
Of the many new business challenges that the coronavirus pandemic has created for organizations, commercial and residential security—specifically across condominium complexes—has been near the top of the list. Property managers and their security teams have been forced to work overtime to develop, implement and maintain new COVID-19 health and safety measures, develop new parcel-management protocols, manage strict building access and usage rules, and generally cope with the uncertainties of new government lockdown and social-distancing restrictions.
Condominium property managers have carried much of this new burden as they deal with a plethora of related issues. They've not only had to provide updated training to their in-house or outsourced security teams while investing (often hefty) sums for enhanced cleaning across their properties, they've faced budgetary challenges due to increased hydro and HVAC usage and mechanical wear-and-tear with more residents working from home and placing greater demand on systems and resources. Condominium boards have struggled to find a balance that allows them to keep condo fee increases under control, while balancing their books and still delivering the level of service that residents expect.
These unforeseen COVID-19 side effects are weighing heavily on condo managers, but are being managed. It's another, seemingly benign issue, that's creating headaches that are sure to get worse in the years ahead: online shopping (particularly over the holidays) that's producing a flood of parcel deliveries.
Statistics Canada predicted in November that online spending was poised to break last year's record $305 billion in e-commerce sales. As a recent CTV News article notes:
"A separate online survey of 600 adults from Google Canada in late October also suggested that 70 per cent of respondents were looking online, not in-store, for holiday gifts."
Many of those packages are ending up in condominium lobbies—and many condos are ill- or completely un-equipped to cope with this influx of items. It's not an overstatement to say that in some buildings, lobbies are turning into de facto mini-warehouses due to the sheer volume of packages being delivered. Some property managers are grappling with whether (or how) to disinfect items that enter their premises due to potential coronavirus transmission risks.
Merely accepting and storing the parcels is challenging enough, but who catalogues them? How are they secured to ensure they aren't stolen by a resident or thief who manages to access the lobby? How are they released or distributed to residents? Is that the job of your security team? These are just a few of the pressing questions weighing on condo managers right now.
As the COVID-19 crisis carries on and retail restrictions remain in place, Canadians are going to continue that great e-retail migration. In other words, the problem won't simply disappear as the coronavirus eventually subsides. Property managers will need to adapt further as online shopping gains added momentum in the years ahead.
That could mean making capital investments in dedicated parcel storage rooms or lobby lockers, if those spaces or amenities don't already exist. When many buildings were constructed, there was no thought put to online shopping—e-commerce was the stuff of science fiction only a few decades ago, after all. That could necessitate collaboration between managers and their condo boards to allocate the necessary funds to build out secure storage spaces that can be locked and monitored. Another alternative that many condos have explored is working with companies such as ParcelPort, which provides outdoor (sometimes temperature-controlled) lockers to receive and store parcels. When a delivery is made, a notification goes out via text or email to the resident reminding them to pick up their item.
There are many options, but property managers need to carefully consider several other factors to ensure that this year's flood of holiday parcels doesn't create an unnecessary burden for them or their teams:
What level of service will you provide?—Many condominiums, particularly those that offer luxury amenities, will need to determine whether they'll embrace full white-glove concierge parcel-management service if they haven't already, or opt for a self-serve parcel pick-up model. For example, will building concierge or security staff deliver packages to a resident's door? Or simply manage packages by minding them at the lobby desk? How does that level of service reflect on the condo's brand and ability to attract/retain buyers or tenants? An enhanced concierge experience could be a resident-friendly value proposition, albeit a pricey one.
Is your security team up to the task?—Wincon guards are trained with customer service—and the finer points of delivering a true concierge experience—in mind, but not all security firms provide that same level of training. In-house security staff, may not have that expertise either. Assess the situation to determine whether your guards are trained to accept, catalogue, manage and distribute parcels—and if not, be prepared to offer that important training.
What about food?—Parcels are one thing, but with restaurants closed in many areas, an increasing number of residents are using meal delivery services. Residents want their dishes hot and ready to eat without delay. Do you have processes in place to maintain building security, while also ensuring residents receive their meals in a timely fashion, all so their foodie-friendly expectations are met?
Who accepts liability?—The issue of lost or stolen parcels creates significant risk for condominium property managers. They can face costly liability if they accept packages that don't make it to their rightful buyers. If those happen to be items such as fancy jewellery or expensive electronics, for example, the problem of lost or stolen goods could get very expensive very quickly. This means that, in effect, building security teams will now be required to develop and implement what amounts to loss-prevention strategies, or potentially ask residents to sign waivers that shield property management from liability. Carrying extra liability insurance may also be necessary. Work with your lawyer to design and implement a strategy that's customized to the needs of the property and its residents.

Wishing you a happy holiday from the Wincon Security team
It goes without saying that 2020 is a year that many of us will be glad to forget, just as we look forward to a socially-distanced and happy holiday with loved ones. Indeed, the coronavirus pandemic has challenged everyone from individual Canadians and healthcare professionals to business owners and bureaucrats in ways that we couldn't have imagined as recently as early March. But the many struggles of the COVID-19 crisis have also reaffirmed our strength and resilience as a country. In the face of adversity, we adapted and managed, even as we continue to mourn the many lives lost and the scores of businesses brought down by the ensuing economic disruption.
The security industry has not been immune to the pandemic's harsh economic impact. Companies large and small have reeled as affected sectors such as hospitality, travel and retail were forced into shutdown mode or were suddenly required to scale back business in ways that immediately lessened the need for security coverage. But I'm proud to say that through it all, Wincon Security has managed to not only navigate these stormy waters, but thrive.
The reason, of course, is because we've built incredible partnerships with our many clients. Their loyalty and support has been pivotal to Wincon's success for more than 26 years, and in hard times, they've remained by our side. We're grateful for the opportunity to protect their people, property and assets, and we can't wait to see how we can find new ways to meet their security needs in the years ahead. The push to constantly improve is a core value, one that we embrace and also consider a responsibility that we simply won't take for granted—it will continue to drive us to deliver even better service to our customers long after this pandemic has passed.
Case in point: We made significant investments to upgrade our technology infrastructure this year, while also working to enhance our employee training and development programs. We believe that delivering effective security solutions is about far more than doing the basics. In most cases, our security personnel are not only frontline representatives of Wincon Security, but also of our clients' brands—be they retailers, commercial property managers, or any company in between. Their work on-site can significantly impact that brand experience, which is why we constantly strive for new ways to enhance our team's customer service skills with real-world, situational training.
Of course, helping our customers succeed means staying at the forefront of new technology reshaping our industry. We've continued to research the latest in security software and hardware from facial-recognition cameras to advanced biometric systems that could have applications across both commercial and residential properties. That work is ongoing as we enhance our organizational commitment to research and development, which includes enhancing our own back-end technology infrastructure—a critical investment that enabled much of our administrative staff to work remotely during the early stages of the coronavirus pandemic.
However, none of our success would be possible were it not for the tireless dedication, professionalism and hard work of our team members. At the pandemic's peak, they put themselves in higher-risk public settings to ensure that our clients' properties and people were kept safe and secure. They neither complained nor refused the challenge. Instead, they made it to work each and every day with an attitude that exemplified the very best that Wincon Security has to offer.
To better protect them, we recently implemented a new Whistleblower Program that provides a mechanism to report everything from sexual harassment to any form of unwelcome behaviour experienced while on the job. We're committed to providing a safe, welcoming and fruitful workplace experience—and we'll do whatever it takes to make sure that our company culture isn't negatively impacted by unacceptable behaviour. Our whistleblower directive to employees is simple: If you see something, say something.
So, as we look back on 2020 and raise a glass with the promise of a better 2021 ahead, I'd like to take the opportunity to wish you and your family a happy holiday and a healthy New Year. While rising COVID-19 case counts remind us that difficult months still lie ahead, vaccines give us hope that a return to normal is on the horizon. This year proved that we can make it to the finish line—safely, securely, together.

News, Wincon culture
Introducing the Wincon Whistleblower program
When we adopted our new company motto last year, we wanted to highlight the value we place not only on providing the very best service to our customers, but also the workplace experience that we offer to our employees.
In that sense, 'Built on service. Driven by culture' is far more than a tagline. It's a philosophy that guides all of our decisions here at Wincon Security. By hiring the very best people and building an inclusive and diverse workforce that's encouraged to innovate and raise their voices when things are going right—and in those rare instances when they may be going wrong—we've managed to build a positive and highly engaged workplace culture. It's one that we work hard each day to protect and improve.
But every company has its challenges, and we're not immune to ours, either. As we've grown, not all of our hires have been the right fit. Some haven't lived up to the core values that we simply refuse to compromise as an organization. That's why we've had to make tough decisions at times, parting ways with individuals who didn't always live up to those standards, or who failed to treat our employees with the respect and appreciation they deserve.
We're prepared to take steps to ensure that our staff feel comfortable and safe on the job, all so they can achieve their full workplace potential in a dynamic, fun and supportive environment.
On that note, we're pleased to announce the launch of the Wincon Whistleblower Program. The initiative is intended to provide employees with an outlet to express concerns or report specific incidents of harassment, abuse or mistreatment while on the job. Staff can email us using the address whistleblower@wincon-security.com to voice their concerns.
Our message to employees is best summed up with a play on an old adage: if you see (or experience) something you shouldn't, say something. We're about ensuring fairness, ethical and moral behaviour in our work environment, and if any lines have been crossed, we want to know. Emails to the account will be handled anonymously, so staff needn't feel intimidated to come forward. It's important to note that we're committed to addressing employee concerns in a timely way. Allegations will be investigated and matters will be escalated through the appropriate channels, as necessary. To ensure transparency and accountability, the findings of any workplace investigation will be reported to all parties involved in the matter.
Because the vast majority of our employees work at client sites most of the time, the Whistleblower Program is designed to provide an outlet to highlight negative or unwelcome interactions they may have with any of the stakeholders they encounter during the course of their work day—including clients, colleagues, third-party contractors or other suppliers.
If, for any reason, staff don't want to approach their supervisor with serious issues, the Whistleblower Program is their outlet to voice concerns. It's not intended to be used as a tool to raise questions or concerns about day-to-day operational issues such as scheduling. Those matters should still be discussed and addressed with the employee's direct supervisor.
Importantly, we believe our whistleblower initiative will not only set the conditions to create an even safer workplace environment here at Wincon, but we also believe it will enhance our service offering and create a far better experience for our customers. The happier, more engaged and satisfied our employees can be in their work, the better they'll perform. I think we can all agree that this exciting new program also enhances our business by ensuring that our values are not only upheld, but that they continue to be aligned with those of our clients.
Because nothing is more important to us as a company than protecting people, property and assets, while also defending our company culture. It's a responsibility that we take seriously and actively embrace.

Acknowledging the customer service excellence of our Karen Willis
The coronavirus pandemic has reinforced a key feature of our company culture that we've long understood, but which became even more obvious in the face of an unprecedented and highly challenging situation: Wincon Security is driven in every way by an outstanding group of professionals. Our people are dedicated to customer service excellence and it shows in everything they do.
As I noted in our last blog , throughout the COVID-19 crisis our employees have gone above and beyond to not only do their jobs, but to take added steps to ensure the health and safety of both our clients and their colleagues in the field. We've witnessed countless examples of our employees going out of their way to help Wincon Security customers create a welcoming environment across their workplaces, retail outlets, manufacturing facilities—wherever they happen to be serving. After all, we believe it's our job to not only protect people, property and assets, but to do so in a way that reflects positively on our clients' brands. Whether that's in a supermarket or a super-tall condominium complex, we take that responsibility to heart.
That's why we were delighted to receive extremely positive customer service feedback about Karen Willis, one of our fantastic security professionals. Karen exemplifies the very best qualities that our team has to offer: dedication, professionalism, excellence in her work and a selfless commitment to putting a smile on the faces of the people we serve.
In this case, the client is a Markham-based property management company with an extensive portfolio of commercial buildings across the city. Karen leads the security team at one of the client's flagship office complexes—which has been operating at a drastically reduced capacity since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
It's worth noting that while the province-wide focus has rightly been on mitigating the public health impact of the coronavirus pandemic, an often overlooked consequence of social distancing and stay-at-home measures is the risk to unoccupied properties. An unstaffed building is a vandal or burglar's dream target. In other words, unoccupied properties are more vulnerable now than ever.
As our site supervisor, Karen has been responsible for coordinating security coverage for the office facility, while managing our on-site team. She was also tasked with liaising directly with the property management firm's leadership team, keeping them abreast of potential issues or emerging security vulnerabilities as their workforce maintained operations from a distance, and then after they began returning to the workplace. As the client noted in a letter of appreciation for Karen's work:
"[Karen] was awesome and caring to our essential workers who came to work to every day. She went above and beyond to ensure the health and safety of our team members and I am personally grateful for this.
Many times clients only informed vendors when they are not satisfied with the service they are receiving. Rarely do they make mention when things are above and beyond, so I wanted to take this opportunity to highlight the excellent service we are receiving."
Feedback such as this not only makes us extremely proud of team members like Karen, but reminds us of the importance of our work—especially during one of the most difficult periods in recent memory.
We believe that security professionals should not only fulfill their duties, but do so with a high degree of energy and engagement. With anxieties on the rise and people genuinely afraid to enter their workplaces or residences, if their first encounter is with a warm and caring security team member who can brighten their day while ensuring their safety and protection, then we believe we've achieved our goal as a security company.
So, on that note, we extend our gratitude to Karen Willis for her outstanding work and dedication to customer service. Now, with COVID-19 cases flaring across the Greater Toronto Area once again, we still have a great deal of work to do. I'm very confident that together—especially with employees such as Karen leading the charge—we can navigate any challenge we face and succeed as we adapt to this fast-changing business environment.

A heartfelt 'thanks' to our employees for their work throughout COVID-19
When the COVID-19 outbreak took hold in March, it was difficult to imagine the size and scope of the challenge that lay ahead. Industries ground to a halt as social-distancing measures forced the closure of everything from offices to recreational facilities. Businesses and their employees faced unprecedented uncertainty. Security firms such as ours weren't spared from the widespread economic impact.
While some clients needed less of our time, many sectors called on us to do more—much more—to help them weather the coronavirus storm. Business leaders quickly realized the degree to which they needed trained security professionals to help them manage everything from store line-ups to protecting shuttered office buildings. Perhaps most importantly, those that needed additional help from Wincon Security came to understand that we could not only protect their people, property and assets, but we were also well-positioned to become an extension of their brand. Because our people are well-trained and committed to providing industry-leading service, they could rely on us to positively reflect their company values and uphold their service standards.
Specifically, they could rely on you—our employees—to make the very best of a very challenging COVID-19 situation.
By no means are we out of COVID-19 crisis mode as a second wave of the outbreak looms large. We're likely to face more difficulties in the weeks and months ahead before we can put this pandemic behind us. But I know that because of your dedication and commitment to excellence, our company will emerge from this stronger than ever. The past six months have only proved what I already knew about each and every one of you: You care. You're passionate about servicing our clients. You want to make your communities better by helping to make them safer. You want to help our company grow and achieve even greater success together.
Through it all, you not only showed up for work every day, but you demonstrated unbelievable engagement and professionalism. Our competitors faced widespread labour shortages, but all of you ensured that we were able to meet client demand for our services. And you did it with a smile from behind our Wincon-branded face masks. At times that meant exposing yourselves to the general public to do your jobs. But you did it without complaining because that's what was needed.
As a business owner, I couldn't be more proud of your hard work and commitment to becoming better at your jobs every day. You've proven once again that Wincon is a partner to our clients—be they on the commercial property, retail, condominium or residential sides.
Along the way we've taken efforts to ensure your safety in the workplace, whether it's in the office or at client sites. That's meant investing in personal protective equipment (PPE), sanitizers, increased cleaning of everything from our headquarters to patrol vehicles and even purchasing those aforementioned reusable Wincon masks. Rest assured, we'll continue making the necessary investments to keep you safe and healthy on the job. Nothing is more important to us than your well-being, as well as that of our customers and partners. We hope the new workplace normal—however it continues to evolve—alleviates the need for such stringent health and safety measures, but that day could still be a long way off.
In the meantime, our strategy is focused on finding innovative ways to service our clients as the COVID-19 pandemic carries on. Many of you have shared ideas to help us find new efficiencies and service-delivery methods as we've worked to achieve that goal. We invite you to continue making suggestions and thinking about ways to make Wincon an even better security provider.
As a company built on service and driven by culture, we have the tools we need to make it through this pandemic. Let's continue working together to achieve our goals and prove once again that there is no emergency situation that our team can't handle.

Wincon security is here for you as the coronavirus pandemic escalates
The current emergency situation has evolved rapidly in Canada and around the world with the declaration of the coronavirus pandemic and ever-escalating measures to combat the spread of the COVID-19 virus.
Our team has been closely monitoring these developments and has enacted Wincon Security's emergency preparedness and disaster response plan accordingly. Our focus at this point is ensuring the health safety of our clients, the occupants of the retail, industrial, educational and residential facilities we protect and, of course, our employees.
These are extraordinary circumstances and we're responding with workplace policy and procedure updates in real time. We're in the people business and are fully prepared to meet the challenges that lie ahead. This pandemic is testing the resolve of individuals and organizations across our economy with the introduction of everything from social distancing measures to outright closures. To do our part, we're monitoring and implementing the advice of local, provincial and federal health agencies and ensuring we go a step above and beyond to protect the people at the heart of Wincon Security.
With that in mind, we've implemented the following policy changes effective immediately. We are:
Permitting administrative staff to work remotely or from home where possible
Enhancing hygiene procedures across our workplace and at client sites
Adjusting resourcing at some facilities and shifting our guards to sites where a physical presence is required, or utilizing technology such as advanced camera systems to monitor facilities where a physical presence may no longer be necessary (e.g., office buildings whose tenants are temporarily working from home)
Cancelling all in-person client meetings for the time being and stopping all non-essential business travel
Conducting client meetings using teleconferencing platforms until further notice
As first responders entrusted with protecting the people and assets across your commercial or residential properties, we take great pride in providing high-quality customer service, no matter the situation. This one is turning out to be one of the most challenging that we've experienced in our organization's 25 years of operation.
Our focus is on helping you navigate the hurdles that lie ahead in as efficient and seamless way as possible. We'll be providing insights in the days and weeks ahead to help you manage and implement everything from data security procedures for employees forced to work from home, to tactics designed to help ensure social distancing and to restrict access to your facilities until the pandemic wanes and life can return to normal.
We believe the key to success at this point is to remain calm and educate employees, tenants and other stakeholders of their role in maintaining health and safety across your properties. This is likely going to be a protracted event that will cause considerable disruption in the coming months. Count on Wincon to be there with you every step of the way.
In the meantime, if you have questions or require assistance, please feel free to contact me directly at winston@wincon-security.com.

The prince harry and meghan security conundrum: what it takes to protect vips
It's not easy being royalty. Just ask the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. When Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced in January that they'd be stepping back from their royal duties, working towards financial independence and moving to Canada—yes, Canada—the world recoiled at the upheaval shaking the usually staid House of Windsor.
With the royals in crisis over Harry's snubbing of his monarchical calling—this despite the fact that he's currently sixth in the line of succession and has no real chance of becoming king—the Queen struck a deal with her grandson that saw him lose several peerages and official titles in return for a life of (relative) freedom in B.C. Then came the next question: who would pay for the Sussexes' security?
That's a delicate topic and a political minefield that the British and Canadian governments have been attempting to tiptoe through without causing public uproar. Just last week it was announced that the RCMP would cease providing security to the couple in the coming weeks, the assumption being that they, or the British government, would now be picking up the tab.
One question I've been asked of late is an interesting one: What, exactly, does it take to protect a prince? And are estimates that Prince Harry's security could cost in the millions of dollars accurate? While I don't have any insider knowledge on the topic—and nor should we speculate on the security measures that would be undertaken to protect the Sussexes while in Canada—we can look at the tactics that would be used to protect any VIP or high-net-worth individual whose family could be vulnerable to privacy intrusions or, worse, threats to their safety.
To start that process, a private security firm that specializes in protection for high-profile individuals would be called in to conduct a comprehensive risk assessment. Verifiable threats against the family's safety would be taken with the utmost seriousness. Security specialists would monitor inbound communications by phone or email, as well as social media activity, for hints of potential criminal threats on the horizon. They would then draft that aforementioned security strategy taking into account those potential risks and implementing tactics to proactively mitigate each one.
As part of that risk assessment, a security team would sweep the VIP's property (once a suitable one was located, of course) to analyze any and all points of vulnerability—including by air, land and water. They would work to lock down any potential access points (the property could potentially be fenced) and highlight weaknesses. A security detail would patrol the grounds as needed.
Any VIP's home would undoubtedly be equipped with a very high-tech camera system. This would likely include facial recognition software and would be monitored 24/7 by a security detail stationed somewhere on the property or very nearby. Non-celebrity VIPs might rely on remote monitoring instead. Every window in the home would be equipped with glass break sensors and could even be retrofitted with bullet-proof glass. In the case of the Royals, RCMP or British authorities would determine the necessity of the latter feature based on their initial security assessment.
Inside the home, officials would work to make security measures as inconspicuous and unobtrusive as possible. One common feature of luxury homes for the very wealthy or famous are panic rooms—a space where VIPs can take shelter in the event of a home invasion. The trend nowadays is moving away from dedicated panic rooms to a specific functional room in the house, such as a master bedroom, that can be locked down in an emergency. Whatever the proscribed solution, most VIP families would likely have a reinforced space with full communications—and possibly even a dedicated air supply—that could serve as a mini-fortress in the event of a threat such as a home invasion, an attack or a kidnapping attempt. The likelihood of any of those scenarios playing out is slim, but security officials don't take chances with the safety of their high-profile charges.
Because very wealthy people tend to jet set and home-hop on a regular basis, they often have only a relatively short list of property options limited to homes with suitable security infrastructure.
A last point on the cost to protect a VIP couple, especially one as high-profile as Harry and Meghan: Initial estimates that the Sussexes' annual security expenses are in the high six figures are likely understated. If the couple are engaged in public events while in Canada, the cost for their protection could easily climb to more than $1 million per year. Simply having round-the-clock protection involving multiple security professionals can be extraordinarily expensive, let alone the cost to secure venues at official engagements.
Living the high-net-worth or celebrity life isn't cheap, especially when you're two of the most famous faces on the planet. Who foots the bill for Harry and Meghan's security while in Canada remains uncertain, but let's all hope the Queen is picking up part of the tab—this one could get expensive.

Introducing Wincon Security's Employee of the Year—Syed Johar
One of the most valuable lessons any entrepreneur can learn is the importance of people. Great companies aren't just built on game-changing ideas and innovation, amazing products or industry-leading service. Without the right team in place, success is virtually impossible. On that note, it's with great pride that I introduce the Wincon Security Employee of the Year for 2018—Syed Johar.
Syed joined the Wincon team in September, 2016, after emigrating to Canada from his native Pakistan in 2015. New to the country and seeking to build a successful career, Syed sought opportunities in the security industry and came to appreciate both the flexibility of the position, as well of the responsibility of helping property owners guard their residential or commercial assets. The availability of hours also helped Syed support his young family, including his then two-year-old son.
I should point out that over the past year we've put a great amount of time and effort into not only redefining our core values—which I covered in our last blog—but also determining exactly the type of employee we want to hire to help drive Wincon's growth as we continue to solidify our firm's reputation as one of Canada's leading security and integration solution providers. We already have a great culture, but we embarked on a journey to figure out how we could make it even better.
We looked at the incredible employees we have on staff and analyzed the many valuable personal and professional assets they bring to the table each and every day. They are: focused, hard-working, passionate, innovative, collaborative, respectful, service-oriented. The list of adjectives is simply too long to summarize in full here. Perhaps most importantly, we confirmed what we already knew. Our people truly care, not only about our customers, but about each other. They go above and beyond to provide the kind of service they would expect if they were the ones hiring a security firm to protect their property. When a colleague is facing challenges, they lend a hand and help them solve the problem.
If a customer isn't 100 per cent satisfied, they find a way to put a smile on that customer's face. If one of our team members can't resolve an issue, they escalate it immediately through our customer service response team and stay on top of the matter until it's resolved to the client's complete and total satisfaction. Importantly, they regularly espouse one of our most important core values—that at Wincon Security, nothing is impossible. If there's a way to overcome a challenge or introduce a dynamic new product or service (or improve an existing one), we'll find a way to make it happen.
In Syed, we found the embodiment of that organizational spirit. His dedication and strong work ethic are second to none. He was recently promoted to supervisor in our Mobile Division and quickly set about making his mark, connecting with his team and suggesting service improvements that we're currently studying to potentially implement in the near future.
"I can honestly say that I love coming to work every day," Syed says. "I feel like my contributions are truly valued and that my industry experience really matters to the team. I have an opportunity to make a difference and I love the fact that I've been given the responsibility to work directly with our customers to make a difference in their lives."
Syed has told us that he's hoping to build a long-lasting career and relationship with Wincon. The good news is that we have a reputation for attracting and retaining talent—some of our employees have been with the company for 15 years or more. That kind of retention is unheard of in our industry, and speaks to our collective commitment to training, developing and engaging our employees to build the Canadian security industry's most dynamic employee culture. In other words, odds are that Syed will be with us for a long time, and we couldn't be happier.
So, congratulations, Syed! You embody the core values of our organization and your enthusiasm is contagious. We can't wait to work together in the years ahead.

Affirming our mission, vision & values. Setting the tone for future success
How, exactly, do you sum up all of the many characteristics that make a company unique? That's the exact question we asked ourselves when we set about defining Wincon Security's mission, vision and values. Needless to say, it's a complex task.
We spoke with our team—everyone from our supervisors to our security guards—and customers for their feedback. Our team told us that to them, Wincon is a company built on a strong culture, that focuses on innovation at every turn and never, ever lets a challenge get in the way of making great things happen. Our customers—some of whom have been with us since our founding in 1992—told us that in a very crowded security industry, our dedication to customer service excellence and our passion for delivering value in the services we provide, makes us stand out. They told us that those factors, among many, have solidified our long-standing relationships with their companies.
When we began exploring some of the same questions ourselves, we not only took time to determine what we are, but what we want to be. As a security integration solutions provider, we're on the leading edge when it comes to introducing new technology to our clients and weaving it into their security infrastructure and our service offering. Doing so helps us protect them from the bad actors who might threaten their property or assets. In turn, it also allows our team to provide the most comprehensive and effective service packages in the business.
Developing a coherent message about our mission, vision and values took time, but we're very proud of the results:
To protect the investments and assets of our commercial clients and residential communities as if they were our own. That means delivering outstanding, responsive service, and integrating cutting-edge technology into everything we do to help minimize security risk.
To make security a worry-free experience, one that enables our clients to focus on what matters most: their organization's growth and success. We do it by providing proactive solutions and nurturing a workplace culture driven by our employees' insights and ideas, where engagement and long-term client partnerships set us apart from the competition.
At Wincon Security, nothing is impossible. With integrity, mutual respect, responsiveness and a focus on treating our employees and clients like family—and supporting each other's success along the way—we can add game-changing value to the security services we deliver.
We believe that professionalism, honesty and transparency is what makes us a trusted partner to our clients. If it's not easy for them to do business with us, we're doing something wrong—which explains why we always work to unlock creative solutions to any challenge.
Clearing those hurdles takes the right people doing great things in an amazing workplace. We're committed to providing our team with fair compensation and the very best training our industry has to offer, not to mention giving them meaningful work and the chance to use advanced technology to 'wow' our clients. We recognize team excellence and reward it with the opportunity for career advancement. We empower our team to embrace change, collaborate on new ideas and hold each other accountable. Being a valued partner to our clients means delivering outstanding service every time.
Because we live and breathe these values, anything is possible.
That last part is perhaps the most important. These aren't merely words that will sit on a proverbial desktop gathering dust. These statements embody everything that we are and that we aspire to be. If we didn't believe we could live them, we wouldn't be able to stand by them. As we've demonstrated for more than 25 years, we operate with integrity and place the utmost importance on doing what's best for our customers, every time.
That would explain how we developed our new company tagline:
Built on service. Driven by culture.
We believe this is a succinct and accurate encapsulation of who we are and what makes us a unique company. Our brand is delivering the same level of outstanding service to every customer—because we've all done business with companies that offer differing service tiers or simply pay more attention to one client than another, and none of us liked it. That's something that's just not done at Wincon.
Because we're powered by the outstanding work of our staff, we wanted to make sure that the world knows that culture is a key part of our company foundation. Without the right people in the right places doing great work, Wincon Security simply wouldn't be where it is today—meaning at the forefront of our industry with significant annual growth and a rapidly-increasing employee base. And, of course, absolutely none of this would be possible without the ongoing support of our loyal clientele. We're forever grateful for your business, which is the cornerstone of our success.
At this point it's about looking ahead to the future, enjoying more growth and working with our team and our customers to make a difference in the Greater Toronto Area. After more than a quarter century in business, it feels like we're only getting started.

Emergency preparedness event offers important tips to GTA residents
No one ever expects emergencies to happen, but when they do, it's crucial to have a plan in place and be prepared. From tragic incidents such as the vehicular rampage through a north Toronto neighbourhood in April that killed 10 and injured 16, to weather-related incidents that can disable a commercial property, building owners, managers and their security personnel need to be strategic in finding ways to prepare for worst-case scenarios before they occur.
Hopefully these plans never require implementation, of course. But being prepared is important, if only to provide peace of mind. Part of that planning means also taking the time to train staff on the key points of your organization's emergency preparedness and disaster response plan, or EPDRP (read our recent blog for an overview of how to develop your own comprehensive, customized plan) and then deploying effective emergency preparedness drills to be ready if, or when, disaster strikes.
Wincon Security is deeply committed to educating our clients as to how critical these plans are, so much so that we build EPDRP development into our client onboarding process.
As part of that commitment, we participated in Emergency Preparedness (EP) Week event in May coordinated and facilitated by York Region Corporate Business Continuity Program Specialist Sophia Craig-Massey and Markham Fire public educator Alex Freeman. The Remington Group hosted the event.
Various speakers underscored the importance of having an EPDRP, particularly for condominium and apartment complexes. They cited the fact that on May 4th, thousands of Toronto residents were without power when a rain and wind storm disrupted electrical service across the Greater Toronto Area. Not surprisingly, EP Week attendees were eager to engage and learn about the importance of having 72-hour kits in their residences—a handy item to include in the tool boxes of any commercial properties, as well. The kits typically feature items such as flash lights, blankets, non-perishable food and other essentials that might be important to have when power is non-existent and accessing additional supplies is all but impossible in an emergency situation.
An Emergency Preparedness Guide was also provided by York Region. Appropriately titled 'Is your family ready?' (hint: most are not), the guide contains information on what to do before, during and after an emergency, a rundown of the types of emergencies most likely to occur in York Region, and emergency preparedness tips for people with disabilities and/or special needs. The guide also provides handy tips on preparing a home kit, car kit (another essential consideration), as well as a guide to preparing emergency food and water supplies and how to shelter your animals and prepare a pet emergency kit to be fully prepared in case you're stuck without pet supplies for a period of time.
While the topic may have been serious, the format was fun and engaging for everyone from kids to seniors. Children and adults had the chance to spin the big wheel and answer questions pertaining to the emergency preparedness skills they'd learned at the event. Those who correctly answered questions around key concerns such as the items you should have on hand at home in case of a power outage, won prizes to add to their own emergency kits.
In addition, the dedicated first responders at Markham Fire handed out fire hats to all those in attendance, and educated their audience on important topics such as fire safety in the home, how to develop a home evacuation plan and ways to check and update smoke detectors.
It was an evening of fun and learning all rolled into one.
From our perspective as a security provider, we need more events such as this one—and not just for home owners and occupants. Even though we educate our commercial property clients on the benefits of having an EPDRP, those who don't already work with Wincon may not have a plan in place. From our experience, the majority of commercial property owners fall into that latter category, while those that do have a plan might find that it's outdated or inadequate.
It's crucial to remember that commercial properties are just as susceptible to disaster-related issues as residences—sometimes more so. And as any business owner or manager will attest, most organizations simply can't sustain the cost and disruptions associated with unforeseen product or service downtime. In the case of small and medium-sized businesses, especially, even a short disruption in service can potentially cripple their operations and result in devastating bottom-line consequences.
All in all, this was a great event and we'd like to see more like it. Next time, let's encourage more commercial property owners to attend, and continue educating them to ways to develop effective EPDRP strategies to help protect and secure their business assets.

Q: Defining an arbitrary binary relation I am trying to define some binary operators. A binary operator operates on a set of variables V and is defined by a subset S of pairs of those variables {Vi,Vj}. For example, "=",">",">=" are all binary operators that are already implemented in Mathematica. I would like to use Tilde[ ] as the "set" operator, analogous to "=" and TildeTilde[ ] as the test operator, analogous to "==". I will use a~~b here to represent TildeTilde[a,b]. I would like to be able to specify the operator as having any combination of three properties: Reflexive (x~~x is True for all x), symmetric (if x~~y then y~~x for all x,y) and transitive (if x~~y and y~~z then x~~z for all x,y,z). Perhaps I would specify other properties, and test various theorems on binary operators. The following code implements this in a very klugy way, but it works. I wonder if there is an elegant way of doing this? I looked at Can I define an axiomatic (Boolean algebra) system and prove theorems using Mathematica? and maybe I am asking too much.
The following code does what I want, but I am interested in a more elegant solution.
Tilde[a_, b_] := Module[{Change, SS},
  If[Length[S] == 0, S = {{a, b}}, S = Append[S, {a, b}]];
  If[Length[V] == 0, V = {a, b}, V = Union[Flatten[{V, a, b}]]];
  SS = S;
  Change = True;
  While[Change, {
    Change = False;
    If[reflexive, SS = MakeReflexive[S]];
    If[S != SS, Change = True];
    S = SS;
    If[symmetric, SS = MakeSymmetric[S]];
    If[S != SS, Change = True];
    S = SS;
    If[transitive, SS = MakeTransitive[S]];
    If[S != SS, Change = True];
    S = SS;
    }];
  ]

TildeTilde[a_, b_] := MemberQ[S, {a, b}]

MakeReflexive[S_] := Module[{n, nV, i, SS},   (* {a,a} True *)
  SS = S;
  n = Length[SS];
  If[n > 0, {
    nV = Length[V];
    For[i = 1, i <= nV, i++, SS = Append[SS, {V[[i]], V[[i]]}]];
    SS = Union[SS];  (* Remove duplicates *)
    }];
  SS
  ]

MakeSymmetric[S_] := Module[{n, i, SS},   (* {a,b} in S => {b,a} in S *)
  SS = S;
  n = Length[SS];
  If[n > 0, {
    For[i = 1, i <= n, i++, SS = Append[SS, {S[[i, 2]], S[[i, 1]]}]];
    SS = Union[SS];  (* Remove duplicates *)
    }];
  SS
  ]

MakeTransitive[S_] := Module[{SS, n, i, j},  (* {a,c} in S and {c,b} in S => {a,b} in S *)
  SS = S;
  n = Length[SS];
  If[n > 0, {
    For[i = 1, i <= n, i++, {For[j = 1, j <= n, j++,
       If[S[[i, 2]] == S[[j, 1]], SS = Append[SS, {S[[i, 1]], S[[j, 2]]}]];
    ]}];
    SS = Union[SS];  (* Remove duplicates *)
    }];
  SS
  ]

STable[S_] := Module[{n, i, j, table}, (* Generate truth table for binary relation *)
  n = Length[V];
  table = Array["?" &, {n, n}];
  For[i = 1, i <= n, i++, {For[j = 1, j <= n, j++, {
      If[V[[i]] \[TildeTilde] V[[j]], table[[i, j]] = 1, table[[i, j]] = 0, table[[i,j]] = "?"];
      }]}];
  MatrixForm[table]
  ]

Now I can observe an equivalence truth table with:
ClearAll[a, b, c, d, e, f, x, y, S, V, reflexive, symmetric, transitive]
reflexive = True;
symmetric = True;
transitive = True;
V = {x, y}; (* include variables that might not be related to any other variable *)
a \[Tilde] b;
a \[Tilde] c;
d \[Tilde] e;
f \[Tilde] f;
Print["V=", V];
Print["S=", S];
STable[S]

A: I have a couple of ideas that might be improvements over what you are doing but they are neither fully realized nor tested.  Consider this answer a work in progress.
Matrix operations
The first is to operate on the truth table itself with matrix operations.  Probably this will be faster in some cases and slower in others than what you are doing now.  I do find it more "elegant" by my own sensibility.
I shall use an Association idx to keep track of the variables and a mapping to positions in the matrix, m.  When variable is used I shall check with KeyFreeQ (undocumented) if it exists in idx, and if not I shall expand m and increment the symbol i.
m = {{}};
idx = <||>;
i = 0;

addKey[x_] /; KeyFreeQ[idx, x] := (
  idx[x] = ++i;
  m = PadRight[m, {i, i}];
 )

Tilde[a_, b_] := (
  addKey /@ {a, b};
  m[[idx @ a, idx @ b]] = 1;
 )

Operations are defined in terms of and acting upon the matrix m:
make["symmetric"] := (m = Unitize[m + m\[Transpose]];)

make["reflexive"] := (m = Unitize[m + IdentityMatrix @ i];)

make["transitive"] :=
  Do[
    m[[n]] = Unitize[ m[[n]] + Total @ Pick[m, m[[n]], 1] ],
    {i}, {n, i}
  ]

To see changes in action create a Dynamic expression with:
Dynamic @ TableForm[m, TableHeadings -> ({#, #} & @ Keys @ idx)]

Now add some rules:
a \[Tilde] b;
c \[Tilde] b;
b \[Tilde] d;
d \[Tilde] e;
f \[Tilde] f;
addKey /@ {x, y};

The table becomes:

We can perform operations by calling e.g.:
make["symmetric"]

make["reflexive"]

make["transitive"]

One could make these updating steps part of the Tilde function itself but I suspect that to get any advantage from the matrix method one will need to use a separate update[] function after making multiple rules.
The TildeTilde function could be defined:
TildeTilde[a_, b_] /; KeyMemberQ[idx, a] && KeyMemberQ[idx, b] :=
   1 == m[[idx @ a, idx @ b]]

Tested:
e \[TildeTilde] c
a \[TildeTilde] x

True

False

Regarding symmetry also see the Attribute Orderless but know that it will also change the way \[TildeTilde] expressions are displayed; I don't know if this is acceptable to you so I left it out of my code.

Keshia Knight Pulliam: I didn't cheat on my husband Ed Hartwell, he cheated on me!
Keshia Knight Pulliam says husband Ed Hartwell was the one who cheated in their marriage.
The pregnant 37-year-old actress accused the 38-year-old former NFL player of infidelity in an interview with "Entertainment Tonight" after Hartwell unexpectedly filed for divorce and requested a paternity test this week.
"I have never cheated on him during my marriage. That's not who I am," Pulliam asserted. "[The paternity test is] not an issue. There's no problem. I've never been unfaithful to my husband. This is his daughter."
"I was ready to leave [when I found out he cheated]," she said. "I had divorce papers ready. I presented them to him. He said, 'Please, I want my family,' all of the right things. Once I was pregnant, I did decide to give him that one last chance."
Hartwell filed for divorce Monday in Atlanta, just a week after Pulliam announced she's expecting their first child.
The actress said she was blindsided by the news and admitted the sudden turn of events was hurtful.
"The part that hurt me the most when he filed for divorce was that he had asked me to give him another chance, and I was willing to do that and forgive him, for our family," she shared.
A source told People Hartwell wants a paternity test because Pulliam got pregnant during "a very dark spot" in their relationship. The insider said the former NFL player "doesn't have any evidence" the actress actually cheated.
Pulliam is best known for playing Rudy Huxtable on the NBC sitcom "The Cosby Show." She has since appeared on Tyler Perry's "House of Payne" and competed on "The Celebrity Apprentice" Season 7.

Facts and Details
Artsakh Monument Watch
Research, policies
The mansion of Melik Haykaz
The mansion is located in Kashatagh region, on the left bank of the Tsitsernavanits tributary of the Aghavno River, it is built on a rocky hillside – on an artificially created terrace.
In the 15th-18th cc., the principality of Kashatagh was a flourishing, exclusively Armenian-populated semi-independent formation, with the throne centers of Kashatagh and Khnatsakh settlements ruled by the Melik-Haykazyans. The founder of this kin in the 15th-17th cc. was baron or prince Haykaz well known from historical sources, who descended from the Khaghbakyan-Proshyan princely kin (Hovsepyan, 1928, 232). The mansion of Kashatagh is attributed to the very Melik-Haykaz I and is dated to the end of the 15th c.
Architectural-compositional examination
The mansion of Melik Haykaz is a complex of various structures, which is included within a surrounding wall with a rectangular plan (Fig. 1). According to architect A. Ghulyan, who researched and presented the complex in detail, it initially consisted of three one-dimensional adjacent halls and a columned arched hall occupying their entrance facade. At that, all this was still largely standing until the 1950s (Figs. 2, 3). On the western side, a two-storey hall used to have been built, on the first floor of which is the apartment itself, and in the upper hall is the main hall of the melik house – the summer presence chamber-throne hall of Melik Haykaz. It is covered with semi-cylindrical vaults and has a gable roof (Ghulyan, 2001, 17-21).

The condition before, during and after the war
During the Soviet era, the monument was turned into ruins. In the early 2000s, the mansion was restored and served as a guest house (Fig. 4). It was mostly standing before the war, however during the war there was no physical change on it (Fig. 5).

Bibliographic examination
There is no bibliographic data about the mansion of Melik Haykaz. For the first time we meet brief information about it by famous Armenologist M. Hasratyan, who mentions: "The construction of a two-storey stonebuilt chateau-mansion preserved in Kashatagh borough, not far from the famous Tsitsernavank, undoubtedly belongs to Melik Haykaz I – at the end of the 15th c." (Hasratyan 1985, 158).
More later, architect A. Ghulyan carried out a detailed architectural research of the mansion.

Has anyone tried importing a meat grinder or sausage stuffer from the EU?
Looking at brand new on Italian and French ebay from 100% positive feedback sellers, prices seem to be good, even allowing for £30 or so delivery.
As long as the prices include local VAT there are no problems.As you say with warranty £30each way shipping is prohibitive.You may be able to get spare parts and self fit.
Any chace of a link or 2? many thanks.
So for instance from D'Audino (www.daudino.it) the Trespade no.22 is EUR299, add EUR35 for delivery (I emailed the guy who runs the shop to get this rate, and I he also confirmed it was inclusive of tax) it comes to EUR334 which comes out at GBP284 (depending on your bank and commission rates). That's quite a bit less than some wesbites in the UK.
Most listings seem to include shipping options only to Italy, but if you drop the seller an email I've found they'll do it do about EUR30-35.
found this on ebay he says spares are available.
Are you sure the Italian one is 240V ?
That guy kurt on ebay must be the highest price I've seen for a Trespade 22. He charges £445. Weschenfelders is £372.
If you go to the USA, things are different with high powered stuff, you often need a transformer as well.
So I took the plunge today and ordered a Reber no.12 (9501N) Meat Grinder and a Reber 5kg sausage stuffer (8906N) in stainless steel from Italy. Total price came to less than half that of the UK dealers I'd been looking at. I'll let you know how I get on with delivery and usage once I've had some time to try them out, if that's of interest to anyone? So far I've been using a manual grinder so it should be a pleasure to step up to something automated!
A nice choice - Reber have a good name.
Thought I'd update on this - Kit arrived on Friday after dispatching from Italy on Monday. Just did a trial batch of about 2kilos using Oddley's excellent Cumberland Sausage recipe. The whole process went super-smoothly. (Tastes delicious, have already posted to thank Oddley for that).
What a massive difference having good gear makes to this cooking process! All in all, I'm delighted, having got a really top notch grinder and stuffer for just over £300 including delivery.


US President Donald Trump's administration has unveiled its goals for renegotiating the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), issuing a plan for how it hopes to rewrite trade terms and transform the American economy, the media reported.
The administration sent a document on Monday to the Congress that contained a broad list of objectives, including some goals that have been specifically championed by the President, as well as numerous provisions that echo the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP), an Obama-era trade agreement that Trump has disparaged, reports The Washington Post.
It said the aim is to improve market access for US manufacturing, agriculture and services in the three-nation deal.
US Trade Representative (USTR) Robert Lighthizer said an updated agreement will include a digital economy chapter and will fold labour and environment obligations, which have remained outside the main agreement, into a final deal, reports The Hill magazine.
Lighthizer said the US will work to eliminate "unfair subsidies, market-distorting practices by state-owned enterprises" and will improve intellectual property protections.
Talks are expected to start in about a month.
Trump has called NAFTA the "worst deal ever" and has threatened to leave the agreement.
The combined goods and services trade deficit with Mexico was $55.6 billion in 2016. The US deficit in goods was $63.2 billion last year, while the services surplus for the US was $7.6 billion in 2016.
The US has a $12.5 billion goods and services surplus with Canada.
The U.S. goods trade deficit with Canada was $12.1 billion in 2016 while the US services trade surplus was $24.6 billion last year.

District Heating – hot water serves up a successful recipe for Rotork
The Metropolitan Copenhagen Heating Transmission Company (CTR) operates the largest district heating system in Denmark. Seven combined heat and power (CHP) and two waste incineration power plants, supported by 14 peak load power plants, supply heat to the CTR transmission system, consisting of over 100 kilometres of mostly underground pipelines with diameters up to 800 mm. Water is pumped around the system at a pressure of 25 Barg and a temperature of 115ºC. Along the transmission pipelines, 29 exchange and pump stations transfer the heat to the local district heating systems, serving more than 250,000 households and nearly one million citizens of five municipal areas of Copenhagen.
A problem in an adjacent area recently caused a remotely controlled underground valve chamber to be flooded with very hot water. Although the problem was quickly rectified, all the electric valve actuators installed in the chamber had been completely submerged in the near-boiling water. Subsequent inspection revealed that the robust double-sealed design of the Rotork IQ actuators installed in the chamber had protected them from any damage and maintained the integrity of their IP68 temporarily submersible enclosure specification. By comparison, actuators from another manufacturer had been badly damaged by the effects of the hot water reaching internal electric and electronic components.
Cutaway drawing of the Rotork IQ3 non-intrusive, intelligent electric valve actuator.
Following a thorough precautionary inspection in the workshops of Gustaf Fagerberg A/S, Rotork's agent in Denmark, the Rotork actuators were re-installed and put back into service. In the meantime, CTR needed to decide what to do about the badly damaged actuators.
Mr. Lars Haugaard, Maintenance Manager for CTR, commented: "A district heating system is relied upon by thousands of homes and businesses, especially during the cold winter months, so the elimination of any potential interruption of the service must be treated as a priority."
Replacement actuators would be required as soon as possible to minimise potential disruption to routine operations, but integration with the centralised control system demanded the inclusion of special interlocks in each new actuator in order to ensure the correct operational sequence of main and bypass valves.
In the valve chamber, the design of the Rotork actuators had proved to be superior by protecting them from the damage that was inflicted on the other actuators. Working with Fagerberg engineers, Rotork produced a wiring diagram with customised interlocks to suit the application and confirmed that new IQ3 actuators meeting this specification could be delivered in less than four weeks. CTR therefore agreed to place an order for the Rotork actuators.
Rotork actuators in the valve chamber. The actuator at the top survived the immersion in near-boiling water; the actuator below has replaced an actuator that was permanently damaged by the flooding.
In addition to double-sealing, IQ3 actuators incorporate many other features that ensure long term reliability and uninterrupted operation.
Secure, non-intrusive wireless commissioning and data transfer, using the hand-held setting tool and easy to follow menus displayed on the actuator screen, mean that once the actuator has been site wired there is no need to remove any electrical covers ever again. Internal electrical and electronic components are permanently protected. Commissioning itself can be performed with or without mains power connected.
Piezo torque sensing, unlike disc springs or other mechanical devices, is accurate throughout the life of the actuator and unaffected by the effects of wear on moving parts. A patented absolute encoder, with only four moving parts, provides constant sensing and reporting of valve position, even if the actuator is moved manually with the power disconnected.
A sophisticated datalogger stores a huge array of information including profiles of valve torque, operational starts, running times, average torque and an event log. Information can be viewed in real time using the large actuator display window or wirelessly downloaded for analysis on a PC running Rotork Insight2 software for predictive maintenance and asset management purposes.
A direct-drive handwheel delivers reliable emergency operation with no risk of damage to internal actuator parts due to the application of excessive force. Finally, the separate thrust base design enables the actuator to be removed completely without affecting the position of the valve.

Insulate your gas or oil hot-water storage tank and pipes, but be careful not to cover the water heater's top, bottom, thermostat, or burner compartment; when in doubt, contact a professional.
Drain a quart of water from your water tank every 3 months to remove sediment that impedes heat transfer and lowers the efficiency of your heater. The type of water tank you have determines the steps to take, so follow the manufacturer's advice or contact a professional.

Mueller offers a lesson in the power of reason
by Jon Meacham Apr 8, 2019 4 minutes
The special counsel's 22-month investigation captivated the nation—for good and ill
ALMOST A CENTURY AGO, IN THE AFTERMATH OF the First World War, the journalist Walter Lippmann, then 32 years old, published an influential and disturbing critique of democracy and its future. The mood in the U.S. was anxious—about immigration, about race, about women, about the nation's role in the world, about civil liberties, about religion, even about science (the Scopes trial was a few years off). The 1920 Census had found that more Americans now lived in cities than on unlike our own.
Into this climate came Lippmann's book Public Opinion, which argued that the complexity of the changing world made true perception and genuinely popular self-government impossible. Skeptical about the capacity of democracy to arrive at

In The Eyes Of Police, Brooklyn Resident Often Felt Like 'A Problem' For 27-year-old Jared Marcelle, the death of Freddy Gray was a grim reminder of the ways he's often felt targeted by police in his Brooklyn, N.Y., neighborhood.
< In The Eyes Of Police, Brooklyn Resident Often Felt Like 'A Problem'

In The Eyes Of Police, Brooklyn Resident Often Felt Like 'A Problem'
The death of Freddie Gray still has people thinking about their relationship to the police. We're going to hear now from Jared Marcelle. He's a 27-year-old New Yorker, and, for him, that relationship is complicated. His story comes to us from WNYC's Radio Rookies.
JARED MARCELLE, BYLINE: Tuck your shirt in and wear your pants on your waist. Try to frown less and smile more. Be respectful. I heard those things a million times from my parents.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: There was just raising kids properly. There was a way I wanted my boys to be raised, black or not.
MARCELLE: My mom was also trying to protect us. By the time I was 15, I had grown bigger and looked a lot older than I was. Cops didn't see the good black boy my mom raised because 6'3, 290-pound black guys who aren't playing football are always up to no good. I had to deal with harassment, name-calling and on several occasions use of unjustified force. One time when I was 18, a cop punched me in the face.
What are your thoughts on the interactions between me and the police?
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: I'm very saddened, definitely angry at how you've been treated.
MARCELLE: You know, people have no idea, like, how that could affect you when, you know, I've had so many run-ins with the cops, mom, that it didn't just affect my relationship with the cops. It affected how I viewed society, maybe how I even treated, you know, white people. You know what I'm saying?
I don't hate anybody, but I begin to resent them in a sense that I felt like the cops were targeting me because they were trying to protect them.
The thought that you're a problem can really change you. It's even affected my confidence, walking down the street wondering if people see me as a suspect. The cops are public servants, so if they're profiling me, the public must be afraid of me. Just last summer, I was hanging out with my boys outside my house.
TYRONE: And we like chill - hanging out in front of - you know what I mean? - your crib, like.
MARCELLE: That's Tyrone. Suddenly, an unmarked car pulled up and rolled down its windows. I knew what time it was. I waved at the passengers. What's up, officers? How's everything going? But that wasn't what they wanted to hear. So they hopped out on us.
TYRONE: Asking if we have guns, drugs.
MARCELLE: They asked Tyrone if they could search his car. I was stunned by that because we were just minding our own business in front of my house.
TYRONE: So they then started to provoke us trying to get us to react.
MARCELLE: Everybody started cursing each other out, face-to-face, man-to-man. Eventually, I was able to turn things around because I have a golden ticket. My sister Liana is a cop.
I pulled out a badge she'd given me just to let them know my sister was internal affairs. That's the department where the police police themselves. The whole mood changed. Now they wanted to reason with me instead of being aggressive.
How did you feel when I told you about the incident when the cops were messing with me outside?
LIANA: It bothered me because, you know, here I am 30-feet from it not knowing what's going on and knowing that that interaction could've gone either way. It could've gone south very easily. It bothered me very much.
MARCELLE: OK. Well, how about this - do you remember telling me - breaking news that you were taking the police test?
LIANA: I don't really remember the exact moment that I told you.
MARCELLE: Even though it was six years ago, I remember it.
I was watching TV in your room, and you said - you said it in passing.
LIANA: I seem to remember that when I told you I think I made a excuse as to why. Well, you know it's a good job. And, you know, I was trying to soften the blow that I knew it would be to you.
MARCELLE: Did you ever, like, feel like you were switching sides?
LIANA: Switching sides?
MARCELLE: Well, I mean, I'm sure you know how I feel - you know, some of the - my feelings towards the cops in the past.
LIANA: I never really felt that I was on a side to switch. I mean, I don't feel like there's a side of cop versus civilian or us versus them. I think there's right and wrong.
MARCELLE: Not too long after Liana became a police officer, word on the street was she was actually patrolling our neighborhood. Apparently, she intervened when a couple of my boys got stopped by other cops. Yo, Jared, your sister is all right. When some real street cats confirmed what she was doing, I could no longer deny it. Liana was different. If only the NYPD had more officers like her.
CORNISH: Jared Marcelle is with Radio Rookies out of WNYC.
