I appear to be going through whale and dolphin sightings withdrawal. I have seen, or thought I did, a couple of blows a few days ago, but did not see any backs or dorsals of any sort to be able to confirm. It is possible it's just wishful thinking. The weather has not cooperated in the ability to easily spot them either.
This lack of sightings is unusual around here since there's usually porpoises, if nothing else. Even monitoring the marine radio, from where I occasionally hear about sightings, has provided no results. It's hard to imagine that it could be to do with noise from the Powell River Harbour construction only. So where are they all?
I do hear that the herring are running late and not in the quantities expected. This even to the point of hearing that there are some Bald Eagles dying due to malnutrition on Vancouver Island. I know the ones around here are frequently after birds, which they do even when there are fish around.
There is even a distinct lack of sea lions, although I can confirm sightings of a few of them swimming towards the top of Harwood Island.
Feb 18 to Feb 26: No whale, dolphin or porpoise sightings to report.
And, for those of you following my Hummingbird sightings: I appear to be down by one male Anna's. Perhaps gone to start looking for the perfect nesting site to protect for its' prospective mate. I'd rather think that, than it succumbed to the freezing cold temperatures we've had lately. Still can confirm three females and one male coming numerous times daily to the feeder.
And last, there has been a bear sighted around the Mowat Bay area of Powell River. This is a bit early, so it's probably quite cranky.

Biography and Background:
As a Senior Marketing Event Manager, Courtney has developed, managed and executed 250+ global events since joining Continuum in 2014. She is responsible for driving awareness and pipeline through Continuum's sponsored and hosted event portfolio. For the last three years, she's been the manager of Continuum's annual user conference, Navigate, with 700+ attendees, and production costs close to $1.5 million. She's highly motivated and has the drive and ability to strategically use events to generate new lines of revenue. She prides herself on quality, consistency and ingenuity. Courtney has created a framework for measurement when it comes to events at Continuum. She loves the science of marketing, and is passionate about ensuring her work contributes to the growth of the business. Measuring all aspects of events, and looking for ways to optimize and improve operational efficiency is a priority for Courtney.
How have you personally helped advance your company's channel business over the past year?
Event management is one of the most effective marketing communication tools that an organization can employ to create awareness of the organization, its products, services and brand. Courtney has developed an efficient, predictable, and high-quality event strategy to support global sales/revenue goals. She has helped launch and produce Continuum's International Partner Day Conferences in EMEA and APAC to increase exposure with our international audiences. Under Courtney's leadership, Continuum leverages events to build brand awareness, jumpstart demand generation efforts, drive sales revenue, increase customer retention and increase users of products and features. Courtney has shifted Continuum's event strategy to increase attendance at net-new events, with a focus towards pursuing and engaging acquisition opportunities. Continuum's involvement in channel events has grown its brand footprint and message globally within the channel. Regularly attending industry events provides an opportunity to directly engage with prospects and customers in a meaningful way that can influence how they perceive our business. These events also allow Continuum to make connections and build relationships with other businesses within the IT industry, including VAR and OE dealers.
What are your goals for your company's channel business over the next year?
One of Continuum's goals is to become a leading provider of IT Service and Security delivery. Security for SMBs and MSPs is increasingly complex and offerings to date are highly fragmented, something Continuum's security platform seeks to change. It's the belief of Continuum's leadership that, without a security offering, IT service providers will struggle to meet the demands of their customer. The market potential is huge, and our partners understand the scale of the security opportunity. Another goal is to have our platform continue to grow, integrating more technology vendors to provide market-winning products and an end-to-end, partner-focused experience.
What honors, awards, or commendations have you won over the past year?
I was nominated for CompTIA's ChannelCon 2017 Channel Changers Award. Mary Crogan, VP of Marketing, Continuum, Shannon Mayer, Vice President of Channel Development at ASCII, and Ted Roller, Virtual Channel Chief at ConnectMeVoice all nominated me for the award. I was also nominated at Continuum's Annual Sales Kickoff for People's Choice Award. Employees were nominated by other employees, for their hard work, dedication to the company, and relationships they've built throughout the organization.
Outside of your family, please name a woman you admire and why:
One woman I really admire is Meg Sheehan, a public interest environmental lawyer at Earthrise Law Center. She's been like a second mother to me; I've known her my whole life. She is someone who defines hard work, dedication, and has the drive to want to change the world for the better. Her commitment to our environment is commendable. I used to help on her campaigns, including one effort to ban bio-mass burning. Working with Meg made me feel part of something big. She has a vision and she acts on it. I truly admire her for it.
What advice would you give your 16-year-old self?
I would tell my 16-year-old self to know your worth. When I was sixteen, I wish that I didn't take myself so seriously and where I was at that point in my life. I should have taken the time to appreciate what I had accomplished, and ultimately realize I'm successful now and will continue to be no matter what. I grew up in Winchester, a slightly affluent town. So I'd tell myself to break out of society's mold a bit more. Understanding the difference between someone who adds things to your life and someone who comprises your happiness is important.
If you could master any new job-related skill, what would it be and why?
I would love to master sales. Sales is the basis of all business success. With my job, I feel as though I am always selling, even though my role does not include sales in the job description. If I could master the sales process, and not only increase our success from a marketing stand-point, but having a direct hand in those sales conversation, would immensely increase the value I bring to Continuum. And having a solid foundation in how to sell would give me a wide advantage over my colleagues and competitors.
What's the best book you read this past year and why did you like it?
'What Would Steve Jobs Do?' by Peter Sander. This book inspires you. It gave insight into how and why Steve Jobs became and was who he was. Steve had a vision, he had the ability to see the world ahead. And as a millennial, with the world constantly evolving, you get lost sometimes. This book empowers you. You reflect and assess yourself throughout the entirety of your read. Jobs' leadership style raised the status quo. Focusing on articulating a shared vision, so everyone could be working towards the same goal, which is crucial for a team and company to succeed.

O Caring Creator, Come
Psalm 146:5-6 Happy is the one whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in God . . . who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them . . .
Prayerful Reflection
O Caring Creator, Come~
You made the unfathomable heavens above,
and the earth beneath our feet.
From our immediate surroundings
to the far-flung stars,
you created everything in the cosmos.
All creatures depend on you
for their every breath, for their very lives.
And yet, incomprehensible God,
you care enough to know each of us intimately,
to call each one of us by name.
The tender compassion with which you embrace
each one of us is almost too much
for us to fathom.
May our hearts overflow with gratitude and joy.

A little while ago I was up late at night and caught a TV special on the making of Johnny Cash's album, San Quentin. When it came to Cash performing the song about California's infamous prison, I listened intently—and then came undone. I wept and wept. I went to iTunes and downloaded the song, listened and wept all the more. Why was I crying over this song? What made it so poignent for me?
Watch Cash perform the song for yourself, and then we will continue.
[yframe url='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zgja26eNeY']
I found myself, as I listened to this song by one of the greatest storytellers of all time, hating San Quentin prison. I found myself hating all prisons. And that's when I realized just what was getting to me. Prison. Man was not made for prison, and I felt as if the walls and bars were closing in on me. But just what was this prison I felt I was trapped in?
Then it came to me.
In a word: Legalism.
Oh, we can dress it up if we like. We can call it
- Obeying the Lord
- Following his word
- "To obey is better than sacrifice"
But it comes down to this: If I am the one in control, then I am in a prison of my own making.
I have come to this place in my life: I either want to let go of my life and let God be in total control, or I want to be in total control myself. Splitting the duties just doesn't work. "Balance" is not the way. (That is another essay for another day. Just know that the "B" word is not welcome with me.) Â I can try to earn my way into God's good graces by doing all of the good and prudent things that Christians are supposed to do, or I can have God's good Grace simply by receiving it.
Balancing grace with my efforts is like balancing Stevie Ray Vaughn's guitar licks with my out-of-tune strumming.
Or put it this way. You have two barrels sitting side-by-side. One contains the world's greatest wine, the other contains raw sewage. If you put a drop of wine in the sewage, you still have sewage. But if you put a drop of sewage in the wine, you have … sewage. My efforts are nothing but sewage.
And we have a really hard time accepting this.
I am accused of being "all grace, but no good works." Guilty as charged. I am coming out of my prison. I'm not going to "do" Christianity any longer. And I'm not even going to "be" who I am supposed to be, other than "be dead." Jesus didn't come to make me a better person. He didn't come to improve me, make me more moral, or help me to be "a good witness." He came so that I could die with him, and then experience his resurrection with him. Nothing else matters. Nothing. The only thing that can be raised from the dead is that which has died.
I don't give a rat's furry backside any longer. I've been in prison for so long and I want out. Legalism is sin. Let me say that again. Legalism is sin. It's putting me in charge of my life. I did that for oh so long, and it was miserable every moment. There is always something more I was supposed to be doing. Just when I thought I had "that" down, something else would crop up. It's the same for you, you know. Ok, so you quit doing "that." Good for you. Tomorrow "this" will be before you, calling your name, taunting you. And you'll have to deal with it. Get an accountability partner to keep you honest. And, in time, you will conquer it. Only to find the next day there is yet another "it."
It never ends. The only way to stop the madness is to die. Die to your identity as a sinner. Stop embracing the idea that you are still in sin. Instead, embrace the notion that God has forgiven you totally: Your sins of yesterday, your sins of today, your sins of tomorrow. It really is true, you know. The Lamb is slain from the foundation of the world. We were forgiven from the start. The prison doors are unlocked. The only thing keeping you behind bars is your refusal to see yourself as dead to your sins and alive to Christ.
Your works, the efforts you make to impress God by keeping the rules, are a life sentence in San Quentin. Wouldn't you rather sing with Johnny Cash:
San Quentin, may you rot and burn in hell.
May your walls fall, and may I live to tell.
May all the world forget you ever stood.
And may all the world regret you did no good.
San Quentin, I hate every inch of you.

AGA/INGAA/API Comment on Proposed underground Storage Annual Report
The Pipeline & Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) has released an Underground Natural Gas Storage Facility Annual Report Form and Instructions as part of its rulemaking "Pipeline Safety: Safety of Underground Natural Gas Storage Facilities" (Docket ID: PHMSA-2016-0016). AGA, INGAA and API have identified a number of issues with the draft form and are actively working with PHMSA to refine it in order to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected, while minimizing the burden to operators. Identified issues include clarification of reporting requirements such as the identification of facility location, operating pressures, injection/withdrawal rates, and reservoir depth.
This week, the three trades submitted a letter to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) requesting that OMB refrain from approving the Annual Report Form until PHMSA submits a revised draft to OMB for review and public comment.

It's no secret that running feels good—especially when your socks have decided to spare you by not sliding down into your shoe, and the weather is on point. Actually, on a model run like that, one of the only things that can put the brakes on your feel-good stride is a pre-run meal sloshing around in your stomach.
Unfortunately, your brain can't force your body to speed up digestion. So, timing your meals, factoring in the intensity of your run, and understanding what works best for your body is key, says Adena Neglia, RDN, who specializes in sports nutrition at Mount Sinai in New York City.
But don't stress about getting it right on the first try. Knowing how to fuel before you hit the pavement is all about trial and error, according to Eliza Savage, RD, a sports nutrition specialist at Middleberg Nutrition in New York City—after all, even she's overdone it and ended up in a less-than-ideal situation mid-marathon.
But with practice and consistency, these experts promise you'll have pre-run eating down pat whether you're gearing up for a long run, sprint, recovery run, or a race. Here's everything you need to know:
What to eat before any run:
While what you eat before a run is far from one-size-fits-all, one thing everybody needs are pre-run carbs, says Savage. Unlike proteins and fats, which take longer for the body to break down, carbs make for a quick go-to energy source for your system to rely on.
While the exact amount varies based on a runner's size, sex, and skill level, Neglia says you should be eating anywhere from 25 and 50 grams of carbs before exercise.
What to eat before a long run:
30 g carbs
27 g carbs
30 g carbs
For a long run (think: eight miles or more) Savage notes that it's important to find something that keeps you feeling satiated and energized, not uncomfortable. Keep in mind that you'll be running for a while, so opt for a full-blown meal or at least a snack before you hit the pavement.
Depending on how quickly you digest, Savage suggests eating 30 minutes to three hours before your run. If snacks are the way you want to go, she suggests a bar with at least 15 grams of carbs such as an RXBAR, a banana with peanut butter, or oatmeal prepared with water.
If you want a more substantial meal, Neglia says to go for a medley of sweet potatoes mixed in with your favorite veggies or any 300- to 400-calorie, carb-based foods such as beans, peas, squash, oats, or grains before you get to sweating.
Check out what a WH editor packs for the perfect run:
While what you eat is totally up to you and what you can handle, Savage warns dairy might not be the best move since it takes a little longer to break down. Anything high in fiber or packed with artificial sweeteners might not sit well in your stomach either, Neglia says.
Since you'll be racking up plenty of mileage, Savage says you'll also need snacks for the road, especially if you anticipate running for more than an hour. In these cases, drop a snack or two into a running belt. You could choose energy gels—flavored packets of carb-filled goo—to fuel you mid-run. Or go for dried fruit, such as dates and raisins; pretzels (as long as they don't dry out your mouth too much); children's bars, which fit nicely into legging pockets; or energy chews such as Clif Bar Energy Bloks which you can pop into your mouth without breaking stride.
Try to stick to eating 30 to 60 grams of carbs per hour along the way. And if you weren't able to eat enough beforehand, Savage even suggests eating every 15 minutes during your run.
What to eat before a sprint or an interval run:
32 g carbs
27 g carbs
26 g carbs (per cup)
36 g carbs
15 g carbs
50 g carbs
35 g carbs
This is what you've been training for. And no, I'm not only referring to running, I mean everything you've been eating before and during your runs. Now that the big day has come, you shouldn't be trying anything new. Instead, Neglia and Savage say to rely on the dinner, breakfast, and packed snacks that suit you best—especially, if you tend to get a nervous stomach.
For dinner the night before, Savage says there's no need to carbo-load. She recommends a balanced meal of proteins, fats, and complex carbs such as plain baked chicken, a sweet potato or some pasta, with salad and avocado. Test out variations of these balanced dinners leading up to race day, so you know exactly what your dinner should look like.
Race day itself should start off with carbs and healthy fats, like a bagel with peanut butter or oatmeal with fruit and protein powder. Whatever it is, just make sure you know whether it will sit well with the amount of fluids you'll be drinking, too. And if you know coffee won't run right through you, go for it, but make sure you have enough time to go to the bathroom before the race. Otherwise, hydrate with water or coconut water for its electrolytes.
When it comes to snacks, definitely pack your own. At this point you'll be a pro when it comes to the gel flavors you enjoy most, whether you can munch on pretzels without choking, and how to best carry them along with you. So, while there will be plenty of stands along the way offering super-concentrated power drinks, water, and snacks, this is not the day to try any new foods and risk cramping, bloating, or nausea.
Then, once you've crossed the finish line, celebrate with a 200-to-300-calorie meal such as a smoothie, eggs with fruit and Greek yogurt, or avocado toast an hour to 90 minutes later to refuel and kickstart the recovery process.

Sony will debut twenty new gaming experiences at E3 2012, according to their official E3 website. Set to reveal "the future of gameplay and innovation", Sony seems to have a focus on letting attendees get hands on with their upcoming lineup of titles boasting 200 kiosks for play testing.
Both Sony and Microsoft will have their hands full with Nintendo this year, eventhough Microsoft is already rumored to be focusing on the non-gaming features of the Xbox 360. With a new console on the way, it'll be hard to top the fresh factor of the Wii U and its curious addition of the tablet controller.
Big titles like God of War: Ascension, The Last of Us, and PlayStation All-Stars shouldn't disappoint PlayStation fans this year. Sony will start revealing their future plans on the Monday prior to E3, during a press conference scheduled to begin at 6:00 p.m. PST.

Great St Lucia beaches to wind down on after Carnival
(Images: Clockwise from top left: Anse Chastanet - courtesy of Anse Chastanet resort; Vigie Beach; Anse Mamin - courtesy of Anse Chastanet resort; Rodney Bay - Vlad Podvorny via Flickr)
It's Carnival season – but once the party is over, you may well need a few days of R&R to recover. But where should you go? Here's Loop's guide to some of the great beach options on this beautiful island.
(Image: Courtesy of Vlad Podvorny via Flickr)
Reduit beach: This long sweep of sand is probably St Lucia's busiest beach. It lies north of Castries in Rodney Bay, St Lucia's premier beach and water sports hub, and offers beachgoers great views across to Pigeon Island. There's plenty to do – you can sign up for a variety of windsurfing, sailing and snorkelling trips, or you can just take it easy and relax on a lounger (there are plenty for hire). Reviewers say the water is calm and good for swimming, but offer two tips: Avoid the middle of the beach when big cruise liners are docked and be aware that vendors can be persistent. There are several places to eat on the beach. Spinnakers gets good reviews, or you can buy something from a passing vendor. Otherwise, Rodney Bay has lots of good places to eat and shop.

Anse Chastanet: This is a relatively slim beach fringed by palm trees that largely caters to two top-notch resorts, Jade Mountain and Anse Chastanet. But like all beaches in St Lucia, it's open for public access. You can drive there (the road can be a bit tricky, travellers report) or get dropped off by boat, which is how many visitors arrive. The beach is black volcanic sand and its main draw is the reef area to the left of the beach (as you face the sea), which is good for snorkelling. Visitors report seeing lots of different types of fish and coral. There's a dive shop on the beach and you can also rent loungers from the hotels for a fixed price. One caveat – some people have reported getting stung by jellyfish.

Anse Mamin: A 10-minute walk from Anse Chastanet (or a short boat ride) is Anse Mamin, another black sand beach. Visitors say it's much less crowded than its neighbour but has good facilities – you can hire loungers and the bar and grill gets really good reviews, particularly for its burgers (fish and veggie options also available). The snorkelling isn't as good here, though visitors reported seeing plenty of fish. But there's an added attraction – you can explore the ruins of an old sugar plantation in the jungle behind the beach.

Sugar Beach, also known as Jalousie Beach: The great selling point of this beach is its location, nestled between the two towering Pitons. Like Anse Chastanet beach, much of it is taken up by guests from the Sugar Beach resort on site. But visitors can access it, either on foot (it's a steep walk down from the road) or by resort shuttle for which you pay a $50 fee that can be offset against food and drink. There are some good areas for snorkelling and a few beach chairs for non-hotel visitors to sit on. You can also visit this beach on a boat tour.
Marigot Bay: This lovely bay is just a short drive south of Castries. Its long, U-shaped harbour is surrounded by steep hills, making it particularly picturesque. It's a great place for a waterfront meal, gazing at the glossy yachts moored in the sea. Masala Bay, offering Asian fusion, gets great reviews, as does Rum Cave, which wins plaudits for its great setting. There's also a small beach area.
Vigie Beach: This is a good spot very close to Castries. Visitors say it's not crowded, easy to rent chairs/loungers and there's plenty of shade. There are several restaurants on site and clean toilets ($1). "We were undisturbed all day apart from a couple of friendly dogs," wrote one visitor. One caveat: It looks walkable from Castries but most recommended going by taxi because the roads are busy and the pavements narrow. It's opposite the airport but visitors say you don't notice.
Le Toc: Not too far from Vigie beach is Le Toc beach, a short distance to the south-east of the St Lucian capital. Sandals Regency La Toc Resort sits on the beach but it is also open to the public via a path close to the Sandals gatehouse. It's a narrow sweep of golden sand with some vendors on the beach. The sea can be choppy and visitors report not being able to swim on some days because of big waves and strong currents. But one reviewer wrote: "The magic happens on calm, sunny days around midday, when the sun shines through the calm waters. That's when you should go snorkelling on the south side of the beach, next to the rocks, to see tropical fish of many colours and stripes."

Pigeon Island: A short boat-ride or bus journey from Rodney Bay is Pigeon Island, a national park that is home to an old British fort. But it also has two beaches where you can rent snorkelling gear and sun-loungers. Most visitors report that these beaches are quiet and very enjoyable. The beach-front Jambe du Bois restaurant gets good reviews. "The relaxed atmosphere and views over the ocean offer a perfect combo for lunch," wrote one reviewer. There's also a larger public beach on the Pigeon Island Causeway just outside the national park, shared with the Sandals Grande resort.
Cas En Bas: Also known as Plantation Beach, this wide cove on the north-east coast of St Lucia is a great spot for kite-surfing and horse-riding. It's on the Atlantic coast so windy days are common and visitors also report a fair bit of seaweed on the beach. But many say it's an uncrowded, beautiful space that's good for a walk. It's protected by a reef so the water in the cove is also calm enough to swim. "We like it as it's very wild and natural and not commercialised. There are areas of protected mangrove swamp there which attract birds. We have frequently been able to watch these searching for food at the water's edge," wrote one fan. Marjorie's restaurant, on the beach, gets good reviews.
Grand Anse: For a complete contrast, you can try the east coast beach of Grand Anse. Most reports suggest you'll need a 4WDrive to get to this isolated spot. It's one of the island's longest beaches, with golden sand stretching for more than a mile. It's on the Atlantic coast and so pounded by waves – it's not a great beach for swimming. There are no facilities and you may well have the beach to yourself, apart from a few fishermen. It's a beach for walking, decompressing and enjoying the view.

#PumpkinSpiceMarketing: Holiday Trends
"OH-EM-GEE. Have you, like, heard about the newest trends in social marketing this season? I can't even." While this might be a bit of a heavy-handed take on it, OfferPop's sweater-themed brief on "Top Holiday Social Marketing Trends for 2014" does actually offer up some great insights to keep in mind while you're downing that pumpkin spice latte this morning.
Surprising no one, Facebook continues to top social marketing spend throughout the industry, with 92 percent of surveyed marketers saying that it would receive the bulk of their Q4 budgets. The more interesting points of the report come in the area of emerging networks.
While many marketers don't want to risk wasting money on upstarts like Swarm or Wanelo (and really, who can blame them?), Instagram shines as the breakout platform of 2014. Vine and Snapchat fell in behind. However, even with Instagram users throwing up stats like one thousand comments a second and 1.2 billion likes every day, marketers are still hesitant to pull the trigger. After all, only seventeen percent of adults in the U.S. are Instagram users, so spend tends to lean back towards the more market-saturated Facebook, once again.
But don't entirely count out the underdogs. Even though the spend might not be there quite yet, there's a good reason: Marketers want to go where the real value is. Long gone are the "Wild West" pioneering days of social media, where the starry-eyed gold rush to be first outweighed any other priorities. With value established in places like Facebook and Twitter, it stands to reason that unless there is significant added advantage to be found in a new field, it's best to lie low for a bit and scope it out first.
Whether you're a marketer who likes to stay warm by fire's glow or in a reindeer sweater, this holiday season, there is definitely some heat to be found in these trends.

GEOFF TATE To Host 'Insania' Wine Tasting And Signing In Akron
QUEENSRŸCHE singer Geoff Tate will host a signing and tasting of his Insania wine at Silver Spirits in Akron, Ohio on October 29 from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Come down, taste Geoff's wine and get your bottle signed.
Insania (a Latin word meaning insanity, irrationality, madness) has become a labor of love for Tate, who remains deeply involved with its development and looks forward to further collaborations with Three Rivers Winery in the future.
In a November 2011 interview with Broward-Palm Beach New Times, Tate stated that he had always been a fan of wine. "I made my first batch of wine when I was 14," he revealed. "It was an experiment when I was in scouts to earn my merit badge. I kind of became fascinated with the whole chemistry aspect of it. The more I learned about it as I grew up, the more interested I became. About six years ago, I partnered up with Holly Turner out of Three Rivers Winery in Walla Walla, Washington, and we started making Insania brand. We released our third vintage last year in April. Two batches of white. Washington wines in the French Bordeaux style."
Tate's second solo album, "Kings Thieves", will be released on November 6 via InsideOut Music.

Fiscal And Monetary Coverage, And How They Have an effect on The Financial system And You
If our economic system weakens slowly, individuals may stay tolerant far too long anticipating a "come-again." They could passively enable their savings to be depleted or the businesses to go bankrupt earlier than they begin to object to the government. The United Said has had recessions, however our economic system has always been in a position to come back relatively shortly. This is my second time to put in writing an article about Financial development. That is associated in Monetary Economics because it talks about labor markets and economic growth.
Virtually each enterprise was affected by this international economic crisis but the corporations that had been hard hit were the companies having giant scale operation along with those that present their companies at high prices. Fairly, the NBER considers a variety of economic indicators over a time frame earlier than it would decide whether or not it'll declare that the economic system has entered right into a recession.
Increasing the money circulate and decreasing the rates of interest spurs spending which stimulates the economic system. On the time the federal government didn't have any insurance on personal financial institution accounts like they do at present. Not solely are we in …

GMC Hummer EV Expert Review
Alex Leanse
Talk about a pivot—or, according to LeBron James, a "quiet revolution." Unlike gas-guzzling Hummers of the past, the upcoming 2022 GMC Hummer EV will be all-electric. It will debut as a pickup truck on March 20, 2020, with a possible SUV-bodied variant arriving at a later date.
Read more about the 2022 GMC Hummer EV:

- 2022 GMC Hummer EV vs. 2021 Tesla Cybertruck: EV Pickup Comparison
- 1,000 hp and Insane Torque Promised From 2022 GMC Hummer EV
- 2022 GMC Hummer EV Pickup: Everything We Know
- General Motors Details $2.2 Billion Investment to Build GMC Hummer and Other EVs
Electric motors make lots of sense for pickup trucks like the 2022 GMC Hummer EV. The instant torque they provide could improve towing and hauling capability over even the strongest diesel-powered heavy duties. Of course, there's also the benefit of not producing any of the emissions that earn some trucks—in particular, past Hummer models—a negative reputation.
GMC's move to develop an electric pickup truck is timely. Ford is well underway in bringing an electric F-150 to market, and its partner Rivian has earned attention with updates on its forthcoming R1T. Karma Automotive has dropped a shadowy teaser of its pickup. Of course, there's the shocking Tesla Cybertruck is also in development. All of these vehicles are expected to hit the market between 2021 and 2022, right in line with the Hummer EV's expected availability. It seems the stage is set for some electric pickup comparison tests—and a quantum shift of the truck market as we know it.
Although it's not yet known what kind of electric drivetrain will power the Hummer EV, GMC has indicated it'll produce huge numbers. Some 1,000 hp will be on tap, as well as a claimed 11,500 lb-ft of torque, but how GMC measures those figures may not be in line with common industry practices. Regardless, a 0-60 mph time of just 3.0 seconds is targeted.
Range is another unknown at this point, but with the Tesla Cybertruck and Rivian R1T potentially able to travel over 400 miles on a charge, we'll see before long whether the GMC Hummer EV can come close to keep range anxiety out of the equation.
The Hummer EV will need to launch with strong payload and towing numbers. Tesla claims Cybertruck will carry 3,500 lbs in its bed, and tow up to 14,000 lbs with the tri-motor drivetrain. We've seen Ford do the incredible with its F-150 EV prototype, using the vehicle to tow a million-pound train car. Hummer's entrant in the field should provide similar numbers if it wants to be taken seriously in the nascent EV pickup segment.

Shehzad Roy – Chal Parha (Single Review)
Finally it seems that Pakistani musicians our realizing the point that they would have to live out even without the YouTube so we are seeing couple of prominent video releases over the past few weeks and a couple of more to be released in the coming days if the given dates are something to go by.
Any how one of the recent big release is that of Shehzad Roy's "Chal Parha" which is basically the title song of Roy's upcoming Tv show with the same name.
Shehzad Roy happens to be one of the most consistent pop icons of Pakistan who continuously evolved with time and has done all sorts of musical forms in his two decade career from love ballads to some serious melodies and lately political and social oriented satirical songs.
Relating the current socio-political scenario of the country, Chal Parha is about the need of social awakening among the masses and how it can prove to be vital for a massive change which we need. The show, whose OST this song is, seems to be a travelogue in which Roy will be traveling from north to the south of Pakistan. Chal Parha also symbolizes the drive for a change and its possibility only if we pursue it on individual basis rather than totally relying on some miracle to happen from outside.
It is interesting to see how Shehzad uses "chal parha" and "chal parra" intermittingly with both the words having their own meanings nevertheless complementing each other. Music composers of the song are Shani and Kami and the lyrics are written by Nadeem Asad, which might not be as catchy as Roy's previous singles such as "Laga Reh" and "Qismat Apney Haath Mein", but are pretty decent. Director of the video is Saqib Khan who has managed well to give us the glimpse of the whole show which is going to come. In whole of the video, Roy is shown going around places and mingling with the kids, trying to showcase the brighter side of the picture in darker times with a powerful chorus in the middle.
Also in the video of song there is a unnamed young girl who is seen singing along with Shehzad but one has to say that her voice seems to be a bit immature for the song and doesn't go with the tempo of the track.
In the recent times Shehzad Roy has been a very vibrant social figure appearing in many talk shows, running a NGO for education betterment and sometime even performing at Dharnas. Sometime back he made a video and a show by the name of "Mein aur Wasu" which mainly focused on the grave situation of Balochistan. Roy has always a knack of coming out with something new and this time its Chal Parha.
And last but not the least, this whole journey will be done by Mr. Roy himself riding a bike which turns out to be a classy Harley Davidson that makes this journey even more interesting to watch.
Couple of days back a promo of the show was also released in which Shehzad Roy asks Iman Ali, one of the leading actresses of Pakistan, a very hilarious question in a pretty serious tone.
The new TV show by the name of "Chal Parha" starts from February 8th, on every Friday & Saturday at 7:30 pm on GEO news.

Dogs and People Buried Together 14,000 Years Ago
The human-animal bond isn't a new thing. It turns out that 14,000 years ago we were buried alongside our best pals, according to a study published from researchers from the University of Alberta in the Journal of Archaeological Science in February.
Some archaeological findings have discovered dogs buried adorned with jewelry. And, there's evidence that people tried to care for sick puppies, though no one knows what veterinary medicine might have been like 14,000 years ago.
In 1914, workers uncovered a grave at Bonn-Oberkassel, today a suburb of Bonn, Germany. The remains—a dog, a man, and woman, along with several decorated objects made from antler, bone, and teeth—date back around 14,000 years to the Paleolithic era.
There's no doubt, based on archeological evidence, that dogs provided various utilitarian purposes, from assisting humans on hunts to guarding villages. There's also evidence that men shared their sleeping quarters with dogs. That, too, may be utilitarian, as there were no space heaters.
But, increasing evidence suggests there was a bond. One reason that dogs became more bonded with us is that humans selectively bred dogs, likely for hunting ability but as likely for temperament. So, did we develop emotional attachment to dogs as many as 14,000 years ago?
The researchers write, "The Bonn-Oberkassel dog was a late juvenile when it was buried at approximately age 27–28 weeks, with two adult humans and grave goods. Oral cavity lesions indicate a gravely ill dog that likely suffered a morbillivirus (canine distemper) infection. A dental line of suggestive enamel hypoplasia appears at the 19-week developmental stage. Two additional enamel hypoplasia lines, on the canine only, document further disease episodes at weeks 21 and 23. Pathological changes also include severe periodontal disease that may have been facilitated by immunodeficiency.
Since canine distemper has a three-week disease course with very high mortality, the dog must have been perniciously ill during the three disease bouts and between ages 19 and 23 weeks. Survival without intensive human assistance would have been unlikely. Before and during this period, the dog cannot have held any utilitarian use to humans."
Of course, we can't know for sure. But, if we buried dogs in our own graves and humans attempted to treat their illnesses, this suggests the answer is yes, most certainly there was an emotional attachment.
This research also further distinguishes domestic dogs from wolves, even 14,000 years ago. While dogs did develop from a wolf species, which is long extinct, even back then people clearly associated with dogs differently than with wild animals. So, if 14,000 years ago people didn't consider dogs wolves, why would we do that today?
Dogs and wolves: alike in some ways, but more different than alike.

The Judiciary – 2012
Criminal case registered against six, under law specific to Ahmadis
Malhokay, District Narowal: Mullas Qari Ashraf, Pir Ashraf and others have been stoking communal fire here for months. The situation became so bad that the Ahmadis had to ask for police protection. Some local political leaders prevailed upon the police to provide the necessary protection.
The mullas, under the circumstances, looked for other backers in official circles. They applied to a sessions court and obtained orders to the police to register a criminal case. Accordingly, the police registered a case against six Ahmadis under PPC 298-C with FIR No. 74 in Police Station Baddo Malhi on June 29, 2012, for preaching, allegedly undertaken approximately 10 weeks earlier. The accused are: Mr. Sultan Ahmad, Mr. Naseer Ahmad, Mrs. Azmat Bibi wife of Naseer Ahmad, Mr. Ameen, Mr. Ghulam Hussain and a Murabbi (Ahmadi religious teacher, address unknown). If declared guilty, they could be imprisoned for 3 years.
The case is in the Lahore High Court. Four Ahamdis appeared in the court for confirmation of their bails. The judge confirmed the bails of Mr. Sultan Ahmad and Mr. Naseer Ahmad while he rejected the confirmation of Mr. Ghulam Hussain, the president of local Ahmadiyya community and Mr. Ameen Ahmad. The police arrested both of them and shifted them to the police station Baddo Malhi.
Another case registered: During the hearing of the case for bail on November 14, 2012 Mr. Asif Javed S/O Mr. Ghulam Hussain was also present in the court room. He tried to make a video of the proceedings with his mobile phone. This was noted by the advocate of the opponent party. He slapped Mr. Javed in the court room in the presence of the judge. Others joined him in bashing him up. They roughed up other Ahmadis too. The judge ordered registration of a case under PPC 506 against Mr. Javed but took no action against those who took to violence. Mr. Javed was arrested there, and then shifted to the lock-up in police station Old Anarkali.
However all were released on bail later, but have to face the prosecution in the court.
Ahmadiyya produced drink banned by lawyers in Lahore
Lahore: The daily The Express Tribune published the following report in its issue of February 11, 2012 (Excerpts):
Barred: Lawyers ban drink on court complex
LBA bans Shezan drinks, vows tough action against those found buying or selling Qadiani-owned products on premises
By Rana Yasir
Published: February 11, 2012
Lahore: The Lahore Bar Association (LBA) has banned Shezan drinks from subordinate court complexes and vowed tough action against those found buying or selling Qadiani-owned products on court premises.
The decision was reached on Thursday at the LBA's bar room in the LDA plaza following a motion by Advocate Ghulam Mustafa Chaudhry, president of Khatme Nabuwwat Lawyers Forum (KNLF).
LBA President Chaudhry Zulfiqar Ali told The Express Tribune that more than 100 lawyers unanimously voted for the ban on Shezan drinks for being the product of Ahmadis. The house also vowed to ban other products at a later stage.
Zulfiqar said that the association had launched a campaign to ensure a complete ban on Shezan drinks in subordinate court canteens etc. He said that he had constituted a team to enforce this decision. He added that strict action would be taken against canteen owners found selling Shezan drinks in subordinate courts.
KNLF President Advocate Choudhary said the LBA president had directed LBA Vice President Rana Javed Bashir Khan to coordinate enforcement of the ban in sessions courts, district courts, banking court, special court, Aiwan-i-Adl, in Model Town and Cantonment courts.
Several canteen owners, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said the decision would hurt Ahmadi lawyers. They said it was far from clear how such initiatives will promote the welfare of the lawyers' community.
Speaking with The Express Tribune Advocate Asma Jahangir said the resolution was condemnable. She said that it was also against the law. All lawyers are equal members in the LBA irrespective of their religion, she added.
She said if some lawyers did not like the product they could stop using it but not enforce bans.
It will be relevant to quote here a report from the daily Insaf, Lahore of February 20, 2012 that published the remarks made by KNLF in Insaf Forum at Lahore (Excerpts):
- Qadianis who have robbed the belief system of Muslims have yet to accept the reality of Pakistan.
- We shall not permit the sale of Shezan, Danish and Swedish products in courts' premises including Evan-i-Adal (in Lahore).
- It is our mission to get Shezan products banned.
- Qadianis have committed letter substitution (tehrif) in the translations of the Holy Quran (sic), so as to misguide Muslims.
- Christians and other non-Muslims live peacefully in dear Pakistan and freely propagate and practice their religion; if Qadianis accept their minority status and stop following Islamic liturgy, we shall have no objection against them.
- Qadianis are Zindique (i.e. whose recantation is unacceptable and they must be put to death).
Note: The lawyers' community in Lahore has allowed themselves to be hijacked by the president of the Khatme Nabuwwat Lawyers Forum (KNLF). But KNLF is not alone in this; last year, a section of the lawyers' community volunteered to shower rose petals on Mumtaz Qadri, Governor Taseer's assassin. It is the society in general about which Saroop Ijaz commented in the same newspaper four days earlier in the following words:
"A society cannot persecute and witch-hunt one community while being tolerant or progressive in any basic sense of these words. In our society, the clichéd and over-cited words of Martin Niemoller of "First they came…" are throbbing and piercingly animate."
Judicial relief to a known mass murderer
Lahore; October, 2012: Two Ahmadiyya mosques were attacked in Lahore in May 2010 resulting in 86 Ahmadi worshipers dead. Ahmadis captured two attackers on the site and handed them over to the police. One of them is Abdullah who is now under trial. His defense team took the line that he was under 18 at the time of the attack, so his trial should be held under a different law. The court ordered his medical checkup by a team of five doctors. They reported that he was less than 18 at the time of the attack. At this the judge told the police to submit a new case against him in the court.

Today's Pickles cartoon is so right on! Earl and Opal's daughter is looking in a cupboard and exclaims, "Mom, you've got hundreds of empty Cool Whip containers in your cupboard! What are you planning to do with them?"
Opal says, "Oh, they come in handy for storing all kinds of things."
Earl pipes up, "She's not kidding. When I die, she's going to put my ashes in one of them."
I've seen two movies that feature Folger's coffee cans as low-cost cremation urns. Now cartoons with Cool Whip containers! I wonder if they're paying product placement fees?
Any other creative urns out there? My mom certainly has her own massive collection of plastic containers, but cremation is not part of my parents' funeral plans.

Remember our Troops and Veterans on Armed Forces Day
On March 10, 2009
You Can Support Our Troops Through "Operation Touch of Home," Our Phone Card and Deflated Soccer Ball Collection Drive
March 10, 2009: Senator Larry Farnese Joins Major General Jessica Wright in a Salute to Afghanistan War Veterans.
Saturday, May 15, 2010 marks Armed Forces Day, a day first observed on May 20, 1950 as a means of expressing the unification of all the military forces under a single department of the government— the Department of Defense.
As Minority Chair of the Veterans Affairs and Emergency Preparedness Committee, I ask that all of you unite with me in remembering and honoring all who have served our country and are now bravely serving our country around the world.
This year, my office is joining forces with the Philadelphia USO and the Philadelphia Union Soccer Team to support our troops via "Operation Taste of Home." We are collecting deflated soccer balls and phone cards—any type and any amount— to send to our soldiers between May 17, 2010 and July 4, 2010. Our soldiers and their families really appreciate the phone cards because it means they can stay in touch with their families and loved ones during their tour of duty.
The soccer balls are a great 'ice-breaker,' a way for our troops to make friends with children in other countries.
My office will serve as a collection site, and we will then forward your phone cards and soccer balls to our troops.
Our District Office is located at 1802 South Broad St., Philadelphia, PA 19145. For more information, contact us by phone at 215-952-3121.
I am also proud to be a co-sponsor for resolutions in the Senate for Armed Forces Week, May 9 to May 15 and Armed Forces Day, always the third Saturday in May. And as we prepare for Memorial Day, this month is an ideal time to join me in showing our troops how much their service means to us and how much we appreciate them.
(Please note that the office will be closed on Primary Election Day, May 18, 2010.)

Hello Interwebs Users,
I've been planning on starting my own blog for quite some time now. I wanted to start a blog to write posts for IT things I have done or experienced. But before that a little bit about myself.
My name is Jim, born and raised in New England. I started my IT career at an early age, as with most IT pros, fixing family and friends computers. I studied Computer Science at Rhode Island University. Here is where I landed my first "real" computer related position, working at a Help-desk for facility and staff. From here I took on additional responsibilities as a Network Administrator, working with routing and switching TCP/IP and the likes. After college I landed a position working for an Insurance company in a rotational program moving from IT engineering department to department. The program was very beneficial for me as it exposed me to many different components and engineering teams comprising of an Enterprises IT infrastructure. I've bee working at the company for about five years now, and took a full-time position as a Network Services Engineer, configuring and supporting BIGIP F5 Network Load Balancers.
That's all the IT related stuff. I am an avid tennis player, and have been playing since I was ten years old. I also played baseball growing up and currently am in a slow pitch softball league with friends from work. For leisure I like relax play my guitar or keyboard, and on nice days take a ride on my Yamaha V1100 motorcycle cruiser.
Well that's enough about me, thanks for visiting and I hope you enjoy your stay.

Technology a boon for healthcare industry
Technology is a boon for healthcare industry. According to a report by Springboard Research, India has the fastest-growing health care IT market in Asia, with an expected growth rate of 25%, followed closely by China and Vietnam. The Indian medical technology industry is forecast to grow to US$14 billion in 2020 as many Indian and overseas medical technology companies are developing innovative products for the market.
India is witnessing fastest growth in imaging technology owing to growing awareness, high patient ratio and increasing healthcare expenditure. In the past decade India witnessed technological shift from analogue to digital and affordable cost of imaging solutions. The technology advancement is making healthcare affordable, available and accessible. It is giving the health care industry a much-needed advancement, from medical translation tools to mobile apps that help patients live healthier and better lives.
Technology is giving new lease of life for patient treatment, saves in healthcare cost and contributes to sustainable healthcare. Clinics and hospitals management of medical records, patient admission and registration, clinic lab data management etc is getting simpler and saves time of caregivers. The shift to mobile devices, wireless technology and cloud computing also reduces system costs and improves workflow.
Rapidly transforming medical technology and the availability of technology diagnostic and therapeutic equipment together with changing practice pattern of doctors has revolutionized the way health care is being delivered today. The minimally-invasive surgical techniques have reduced recovery time of around four weeks, compared with over a year for older procedures. Innovative technologies and procedures have reduced hospital stay. Better monitoring systems, imaging information management system for radiology, cardiology, orthopedics and shift from in-patient to out-patient care provides substantial cost savings, also improves quality of life.
Information technology has made significant contribution in healthcare. Doctors and patients can easily access health records through EMR (electronic medical records), tele health services, mobile technologies and healthcare apps. Medical technology has evolved from introducing doctors to new equipment to use inside private practices and hospitals to connecting patients and doctors thousands of miles away.
Technology innovation is one of the key tools to make modern healthcare accessible and available for all. Product innovation and business model innovation across the value chain will bring robust growth in healthcare technology.
The writer is Mr. Amol Naikawadi, Joint Managing Director Indus Health Plus.
