Hello everyone,
Before too long, I'll be heading to the Capitol to report on the state of our union -- and talk about the year ahead.

Tonight, Barack will deliver his fifth State of the Union address.
You might think that this speech was born out of a pile of papers or a long series of meetings. But actually, the real motivations -- and the real substance -- behind tonight's speech come from those quiet moments late at night, when Barack is at his desk reading your letters.

Muir Group has turned to Skyguard to help protect their frontline lone working staff by issuing them each with the MySOS – Europe’s smallest personal safety device, Vigilance can confirm.
The MySOS, accredited to the Association of Chief Police Officer’s ‘Secured by Design’ certification, provides the housing association’s lone workers reassurance knowing they can raise the alarm at the press of a button should they face any potential risk to their well-being. Established in 1968, Muir Group are a Chester-based not-for-profit housing association that manage over 5,000 properties countrywide with a range of tenants, including supported and sheltered housing. Although Muir Group had a mobile phone-based check-in system in place for their frontline employees, the level of protection it offered wasn’t deemed adequate. It required a more comprehensive, British Standard-approved form of lone worker protection to be implemented.
