The Global Clinical Laboratory Services Market was valued US$ 168.9 billion in 2015 and is projected to expand at a CAGR of 7.3% during the forecast period (2016-2024), as analyzed by Coherent Market Insights in a detailed report about the same. Increasing health consciousness leading to higher preventive measures, especially in Asia Pacific region, would be a major factor for increasing demand of the clinical laboratory services market. Increasing insurance coverage is further propelling adoption of diagnostic testing and in turn favors growth of clinical laboratory services market.
In order to capitalize on this highly lucrative opportunity, clinical laboratory service providers such as Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings (LabCorp), Quest Diagnostics, Inc., Spectra Laboratories, Sonic Healthcare Limited, and Charles River Laboratories are offering additional services such as web-based booking of test/service and free home pick-up of test samples, complementing regular packages for health check-ups. Charles River Laboratories International, Inc., analyzes samples for metabolic disorders, bone therapy, diabetes and oncology. Globally too, clinical laboratories receive large volumes of samples for analyzing metabolic disorders. The market for clinical chemistry test types is therefore positioned on a strong growth trajectory.

Increasing competition among clinical laboratory service providers in turn is leading to rampant increase in industry consolidation and vertical/horizontal integration. Companies are focusing on establishing regional supremacy in turn improving the dynamics of clinical laboratory services market.
- For instance, Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings (LabCorp) acquired Sequenom, Inc. in July 2016, subsequently becoming the leader in non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) for reproductive health. The company continues its inorganic growth roadmap and in October 2016, it acquired ClearPath Diagnostics, a leading clinical laboratory service provider in the Northeastern region of the U.S.
- In November 2016, Sonic Healthcare Limited increased its ownership stake in GLP Systems from 25% to 80%. GLP Systems, a Germany-based company, developed an innovative laboratory automation technology that enables seamless and automated transportation of specimen tubes between storage, work areas, and diagnostic machines.
- Furthermore, Sonic Healthcare Limited also expanded its presence in Germany by acquiring Staber Laboratory Group based in Munich, Germany, in November 2016. The Staber Group has three hub laboratories and 14 regional, specialty and hospital labs in Germany, making it one of the leading players in the country.
Increasing incidence of infectious diseases and the growing burden of non-communicable diseases is in turn driving demand for clinical tests. This is influencing clinical laboratory service providers to increase their functional capabilities to cater to the growing needs of patients. As mentioned by Quest Diagnostics, Inc., around 70% of the medical decision are based on lab results. In addition, genetic and cytology testing is increasing that enable better diagnosis of cancer. This is expected to proliferate demand and spur growth for clinical laboratory services market in emerging economies such as China and India. Core Diagnostics, Metropolis, SRL Diagnostics and Dr. Lal Pathlabs are few major diagnostic service providers in India expanding at a rapid pace.
Clinical laboratory service providers are thus, upgrading their processes and technologies to improve efficiency. Therefore, equipment manufacturers such as Abbott Laboratories, Roche and ThermoFisher Scientific also need to develop products catering to this evolving market. Seamless integration of equipment manufacturer and service provider technologies would be a great boost for the global clinical laboratory services market.

Key takeaways of the market:
- The global clinical laboratory services market is estimated to be valued at US$ 192.3 billion in 2017. Growing aging population and increasing incidence of infectious diseases, cardiac disorders, stroke, and liver disorders are factors attributed to growing number of patients visiting clinical laboratories to undergo preventive tests
- Clinical chemistry test was the dominant segment in the global clinical laboratory services market, accounting for more than 40% of total revenue share in 2015. Clinical chemistry test includes testing of blood and urine samples in the patients as an initial step to diagnose a disease or preexisting health condition.
- Among service providers, the hospital-based clinical laboratories segment generated the highest revenue in 2015. This is owing to availability of better diagnostic devices and services in hospitals as compared to other healthcare service providers.
- However, the services offered by standalone clinical laboratories are improving rapidly, wherein accessibility to patients has increased
- The clinical laboratory services market is expected to gain significant growth traction in Asia Pacific and Latin America, mainly attributed to high prevalence of infectious and non-communicable diseases, increasing health concerns, and new diagnostic laboratories being established to cater to the growing needs of patient for health check-ups
Consolidation is the key trend observed in order to cement the market presence and sustain the customer base – LabCorp acquired Sequenom, Inc in July 2016, and ClearPath Diagnostics in October 2016

Worried Retail Shoppers Bury Heads in Sand
Jan 28, 2014 11:11 AM PT
Consumers are getting increasingly nervous over retailers' ability to protect their personal data -- yet they are not changing their shopping habits, according to findings from an AP-GfK poll.
In the wake of the Target breach, nearly half of those surveyed expressed extreme concern about their personal data while shopping in stores, and 58 percent had deep worries about online spending, the poll found. That number grew to 62 percent when it came to mobile shopping.
Yet when asked if they had taken specific, basic security precautions as a result of the massive Target breach, the majority said "no."
For instance, 57 percent of people responded in the negative when asked if they had checked their credit reports. Only 37 percent reported increasing their purchases with cash as a result of the breach. An astounding 66 percent said they didn't change their passwords for online retailers' websites, and 80 percent decided not to sign up for a credit monitoring service.
Do You Accept PayPal?
Of course, it may be that consumers are taking evasive maneuvers not covered in the poll.
During the past holiday season, DailySteals.com polled customers concerning credit card fraud and confidence in online shopping, noted Deeon Brown, the site's branding manager.
"We found that aside from looking for Trusted Site Seals when determining where to shop online, our customers often cited a site's use of Paypal as a form of payment as a credit card fraud prevention tool," he told the E-Commerce Times.
In fact, about 40 percent of customers polled by DailySteals.com reported using Paypal as a form of credit card fraud prevention at some point in their online experience.
Customers have become smarter and more savvy when it comes to credit card security, Brown thus argued.
Not My Problem
However the most compelling reason it appears consumers are not changing their behavior, despite their fears, is that they feel they shouldn't have to.
Retailers who collect data are responsible for protecting it, said 88 percent of respondents to the AP-GfK poll. Six in 10 said responsibility should fall to the banks that provide the credit or debit cards, or to the credit bureaus.
Consumers don't see themselves as the problem, Dwayne Melancon, chief technology officer for Tripwire, told the E-Commerce Times.
Many of the breaches are happening "on somebody else's watch," he said.
"Once you swipe your card, it's up to the merchant to protect the information," Melancon continued. "This makes it difficult for the average consumer to tell the difference between safe and unsafe purchases when dealing with established merchants. We simply aren't giving consumers the right information or tools to tell whether they can trust a merchant with their card information, so they shrug and move on with their lives."
That is doubly so in the case of high-profile breaches like Target's, he pointed out.
"The high-profile card breaches are different from phishing emails or other attacks that target individuals; consumers often don't feel like any action they can take will make much of a difference," Melancon said.
No Liability
There is a more fundamental reason at play, though, that could explain why consumers are not rushing out to take security precautions, Melancon suggested. With credit cards -- and to a lesser extent, debit cards -- protections are in place that shelter consumers from losses due to fraud.
"Having your card compromised may be inconvenient, but it isn't going to cause long-term problems," he noted. "Since it's human nature to move away from pain and toward pleasure, I don't think there is enough pain to cause a shift in shopping habits."

SUMMARY: This isn't Free Speech, it's freedom of politico-(pseudo-)religious gang-persecution organized on a national basis against random mourners (as such) uninvolved in the grievances supposedly being protested by Funeral Invasion.
Mob pseudo-religious persecution of mourners' Free Exercise of Religion — the Baptists' "speech" is usually not on-point, but irrelevant to the life and death circumstances of the decedent at funerals they INVADE — is just like the mob persecution of Christians in Turkey, long winked at by a supposedly-secularist State. It violates the civil rights of decedents and their grieving survivors. Only an unholy alliance between the Court's fellow-fundamentalists and its (this time) misguided "liberals" would rule that the civil rights of off-topic, political, media-hog, worship-invaders trump Freedom of Religion.
Yes, all defenses of Westboro defend their protests as political, though they are veiled in religion. If (Westboro) politics now trumps (everybody else's) religion, maybe the rest of the Religious Right IS right, that religious freedom is being flushed down the toilet with the politicization of everything — IRONICALLY, BY THEM!
Another way of approaching it is that the Religious Right, a vast well-organized group, may now abuse its "rights" to violate the rights of usually-tiny groups of mourners anywhere in the country — not unlike the invasive, disgusting, terroristic tactics of Operation "Rescue" abortion-clinic protesters and their incited gunmen / bombers / racketeers / conspirators. If the Bill of Rights is about anything, it's about protecting the rights of the oppressed — not only those oppressed by governments or officials, but by their fellow human beings in this country generally, especially by groups bigger than them. Look for other hate groups to go back to the Courts now for vindication against explicit civil rights legislation — the Ku Klux Klan, "sovereign citizens," (neo?)Nazis, self-appointed "militias" and border guards, "Dot Busters," 'crosshairs' assassins, the whole sorry, scary lot of them. What will the lawless Scalia/Roberts Court say then? Cross-burnings and lynchings are OK again? Literacy tests and poll taxes for voting? Forced segregation of public schools? 'The disabled or mentally ill, gay or "different," should be neither seen nor heard'? Torching Catholic churches? Slavery? Human females as their males' property? State-Established religions again? Swastikas scrawled on synagogues' outside walls are OK because they don't violate the "privacy" of the interior of the building??!! It seems the Court liberals, including two Jewish women and a "wise Latina," have been tricked into signing on to the rollback of the whole 20th century, if not worse. (And Clarence Thomas? Nevermind!!!)
Ironically, this unholy alliance represents the difference between Classical Liberalism, in all its forms, and Classical Conservatism, ie, progressive conservatism … the former represented by the whole near-unanimous Court Westboro majority, the latter represented by most Americans' gut-reaction to Westboro's atrocities, and this ruling, more bad law, ie, incorrect law, from the Republican Courts and Party.
Learn about the ascendant hate groups and domestic terrorists from the Southern Poverty Law Center, and support the SPLC.
And how did this case become merely about "privacy and emotional distress"? The mourners' lawyers should be disbarred for incompetence! Were they law students?! Was this one of those volunteer, workshop, law school projects they do???
Furthermore, does the ruling consider that funeral "privacy" only applies inside a building-of-worship, funeral parlor, chapel, mausoleum, etc.? What about processions outdoors, burials, cemeteries, motorcades, even the going TO the funeral by the mourners — Some Protestant services even sacralize this with a "Gathering for Worship" recitation or song. What about Neopagans, adherents of Indigenous religions, or other "outdoorsy" faiths, which might not often even USE a building with a real "indoors" component? Obviously outdoor portions of a funeral share the vicinity with the neighbors, if any, of the funeral sites, so that's presumed within Free Exercise. I'm not sure being attacked, verbally assaulted, or finding yourselves involuntarily amid a political demonstration, controversy, or riot, especially one featuring offensive language, IS presumed within Free Exercise, except during times of Persecution of your freely-chosen (or -retained) religion … something the Court seems to endorse today, even its Fundies! (Appropriate, I suppose, since their fellow Repugs drove the President out of the church of his choice, then complained he wasn't Christian enough! "I played you a tune but you did not dance, I sang you a dirge but you did not wail….")
I'm willing to consider that baptisms/circumcisions, funerals, and weddings aren't the same as routine religious services which might be invaded by hecklers urging you to change your religion. I'm not sure though! When I was a Quaker in the 1990s I admired George Fox and his Friends' doing so in 17th-century Anglican and other Protestants' "meetinghouses." Maybe they would've really converted England if they'd just waited till after services, and stumped outside the buildings as the faithful were leaving! But IIUC these Baptists aren't recruiting, merely advocating for their ethical or political positions. And often their protests seem aimed not at anyone present, except the newsmedia. That's just rude … Supremely rude.

UFC and WEC veteran Diego Nunes (18-4) will take the next step in his career with Bellator MMA.
Sources close to the promotion on Monday confirmed the featherweight's signing, which is expected to be made official soon. Brazilian outlet Ataque Total first reported the news.
Nunes was released from the UFC this past winter following a unanimous decision loss to Nik Lentz at UFC on FX 7 in Brazil. That loss gave him two decision setbacks in three fights.
Overall, Nunes, from Brazil, went 3-3 in his stint with the UFC, but his most recent win streak came in 2010-11, when he had a three-fight run with victories over Raphael Assuncao and Tyler Toner in the WEC and a split-decision win over Mike Brown in his UFC debut..
Nunes started his pro MMA career 11-0, all in his home country. He then signed with the WEC, where he went 4-1 before the merger with the UFC.
Although his first 11 wins all came by stoppage, he went 7-4 under the Zuffa banner with all 11 fights going the distance. At UFC 131, after his three-fight streak, he met Kenny Florian in an unofficial title eliminator. He lost a unanimous decision in a competitive fight, and Florian went on to a title shot against champion Jose Aldo.
The highlight of Nunes' Zuffa tenure may have been a "Fight of the Night" performance against Bart Palaszewski at UFC on FX 5 this past October.
Bellator begins its ninth season in September on Spike TV. Current featherweight champion Pat Curran is waiting on a title fight against Daniel Straus, then Magomedrasul Khasbulaev.
The next featherweight tournament could feature Nunes, and three wins there would have him in line for a shot at the 145-pound belt.
For more on Bellator's upcoming schedule, stay tuned to the MMA Rumors section of the site.

(COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO.) – USA Boxing has selected the squad that will represent the United States at the 2014 Youth World Championships and Youth Olympic Games Qualifier, April 10-20, at the Armeec Arena in Sofia, Bulgaria. Nine male athletes will compete for gold at the Youth World Championships while female boxers in the three Olympic weight division will vie for spots in the 2014 Youth Olympic Games at the event. The 2014 tournament will be the biggest ever for the youth athletes with over 600 athletes from more than 100 nations slated to compete.
The nine male athletes representing the United States are: light flyweight Nico Hernandez (Wichita, Kanas), flyweight Shakur Stevenson (Newark, N.J.), bantamweight Carlos Balderas (Santa Maria, Calif.), lightweight Isidro Ochoa (Fresno, Calif.), light welterweight Jonathan Navarro (Los Angeles, Calif.), welterweight Javier Estrada (Palmdale, Calif.), middleweight Charles Conwell (Cleveland, Ohio), light heavyweight Sharif Rahman (Las Vegas, Nev.), and super heavyweight Darmani Rock (Philadelphia, Pa.).
The three female athletes competing for a spot in the first Youth Olympic Games to include women's boxing will be flyweight Caitlin Orosco (Anaheim, Calif.), lightweight Jajaira Gonzalez (Glendora, Calif.) and middleweight Martha Fabela (Oakland, Calif.).
Despite their young age, the United States squad boasts a strong international resume, including three gold medals in 2013 Junior World Championships action. Stevenson not only won a world title in the light bantamweight division at the 2013 Junior Men's World Championships, but was also named the AIBA Junior Male Boxer of the Year, a first for a United States athlete. Orosco and Gonzalez took gold in the first-ever Women's Junior and Youth World Championships in 2013 and hope to make history again by qualifying for the Youth Olympic Games with a top four performance in Bulgaria.
Orosco, Gonzalez, Fabela, Conwell and Rock all won gold medals in the recent Youth Continental Championships in Quito, Ecuador earlier this month in preparation for the tournament in Bulgaria. The event was the first major international competition for Fabela, Conwell and Rock, but that didn't deter the trio from taking the top spot on the medal stand.
With this year's competition serving as the sole qualifying event for the 2014 Youth Olympic Games in Nanjing, China, 606 boxers from 105 nations have entered the competition. That is a dramatic increase from the 2012 tournament in Yerevan, Armenia in which 367 athletes from 68 countries competed in the Youth World Championships.
The top five male boxers in each weight division will qualify for the Nanjing Youth Olympics while the top four in the three women's weight categories will earn berths in the historic event in China.Coaches Ed Rivas (Abilene, Texas), David Balderas (Santa Maria, Calif.), and Willie Moses (Newark, N.J.) will lead the United States team at the international event in Bulgaria.

The co-founder of San Diego-based nonprofit Invisible Children has opened up to the media for the first time since he was detained by police in March when he was found screaming naked in Pacific Beach.
Television Host Oprah Winfrey sat down with Jason Russell to discuss what his wife called "brief reactive psychosis" – a situation in which the person suffers from a shattered reality.
"That wasn't me," Russell told Winfrey, according to a portion of the interview obtained by USA Today.
"It's really hard to explain if people who have never had an out-of-body experience, but it really wasn't me," he said. "That wasn't me, that person on the street corner ranting and raving and naked is not me, that's not who I am."
At the time of the incident, an SDPD spokesperson said he was acting very strange and bizarre. Witnesses allegedly saw Russell naked, pacing down the streets of Pacific Beach while he vandalized vehicles and screamed.
VIDEO: Police statement
Less than two weeks before the incident, Russell received national attention when his organization Invisible Children released the widely-watched "Kony 2012" video on YouTube. It has received more than 93 million views since it was posted on March 5.
"Kony 2012" was celebrated on social media as viral campaign to bring awareness to the Lord's Resistance Army, a guerrilla group with a history of human rights abuses. But many also criticized the film, calling it an oversimplification of a complicated issue.
Russell's wife said the film brought a lot of attention to Russell and he took many of the criticisms made against the film personally.
VIDEO: Family reacts to Russell's behavior
Russell said he remembered brief instances of the incident in Pacific Beach, but acknowledged the odd behavior.
"[I was] slapping my hands on the ground as hard as I can. Just slapping them on the ground. Talking to myself. Ranting. Raving. Talking about good versus evil, God and the devil. I mean it was just very out of control," he said in the interview.
Russell talked to Oprah in a new episode of "Oprah's Next Chapter," which will air Sunday, Oct. 7. He is also scheduled to appear on NBC's "Today" show on Monday, Oct. 8.

Hamilton Artists Inc. is pleased to present the work of Cindy Mochizuki and Ed Pien as an off-site project of Reel Asian. Visitors to Ed Pien's work Revel encounter an adolescent girl's shadow projected on the wall. The real shadow of the visitor comingles with her projected shadow in this cinematic encounter, and the viewer becomes further immersed within a mylar-based installation of delicately hanging, cobweb houses. Upon exiting the curved spectrum of Pien's installation, the viewer is confronted with Cindy Mochizuki's work Yokai and Other Spirits and its sparsely minimal objects: a phone on a plinth, and a darkened telephone booth. The phone rings, and upon answering, hand-traced, animated projections of ghostly impressions suddenly appear in the booth. The source material for this work is excavated from the film Happy Ghost 3 and other vintage films of the same genre, and is reinvented through the lens of the cultural ephemera of adolescence found in anime and graphic novels. The convergence of Cindy Mochizuki's new media work and Ed Pien's multi- media installation brings us into a diasporic and ghostly encounter with disappearing forms of popular cinema and the elusive traces of home and belonging.
Cindy Mochizuki holds a MFA from Simon Fraser University and lives in Vancouver. Yokai and Other Spirits was commissioned by Reel Asian and LIFT as part of the Lost Secrets of the Royal project. cindymochizuki.com
Ed Pien was born in Taipei and grew up in Canada. He holds an MFA from York University and BFA from the University of Western Ontario, and currently teaches at the University of Toronto. edpien.com

He says that his name has been recently mentioned by some obviously pro-Golden comment-makers on this blog --- and he thinks that is somewhat odd
It certainly seems odd that anybody in Marty Golden's camp would be chiding Jim for staying on the sidelines and only spending his time blogging
Maybe, some keen strategist in the Golden brain trust has figured out that Jim McCall would be an easy guy to take out in a GOP primary for State Senate in the 22nd District
Well, people should watch out what they wish for..... If there were as much clamor from the anti-Golden folks out there as there as has been coming from the obviously pro-Golden folks, there might be a possibility that Jim might entertain a run in the coming year.
And what Jim wanted me to tell him is this --- Is there sufficient support out there for an insurgent like Jim McCall to make a McCall-Golden primary fight worth while ?????
I hate when Jim McCall asks me questions and I don't know the answer.

Sasha Perl-Raver and Scott Ross both went into "Young Adult" with high expectations, but walked away with very different feelings about that they'd seen.
Sasha: It may seem an odd comparison, but "Young Adult" reminded me a lot of "Cars 2." Obviously not thematically, but because they're both films felled by expectation. We know Pixar churns out an incomparable product, so, when they stumble, it's a tragic fall from grace. When Jason Reitman steps into the ring with a slugging record that includes "Thank You for Smoking" and "Up in the Air," you expect to be knocked out. Add to the equation a "Juno" reunion with Diablo Cody, who won an Oscar for lines like, "Honest to blog," and you have a bubbling cauldron of anticipatory giddiness. Which may be why I was so let down. Following "Juno," Cody's writing has meandered from quirkily misguided ("United States of Tara") to downright loathsome ("Jennifer's Body") and "Young Adult" underwhelms because of her ineptitude. Meanwhile, Reitman has jettisoned his usual auteur flourishes for a flat, if beautifully acted, character study. Is the acting outstanding? Yes. But it's Charlize Theron. Duh. Of course she'll be great. And Patton Oswalt. You want funny, look no further. If this were a $2 million indie I stumbled upon at Sundance, I'd be all about it. But as studio awards fodder with an A-List star and Reitman at the wheel, I expected more.
Scott: You haven't been this wrong since you got that haircut. For starters, the film's budget was only $12 million, so dissing it for being a lowly character study is way off base. And since when are character studies so bad? Done properly, as here, they offer brutally cutting insights into the very worst of us. And I, for one, was relieved to have Cody lay bare her most self-loathing introspection while not suffocating me with a barrage of hyper-ironic pop-culture references. All that said, this is easily Reitman's least interesting film to look at—it was as though he made that little cassette-deck montage and thought, "My work here is done!"
Sasha: "The worst in all of us"? Come on, Ross, this isn't some illuminating, overarching morality tale; it's Cody's post-Oscar success diary entries dramatized. The reason it's humanized is because of Theron and Oswalt. Patrick Wilson, as the hometown hero Theron still pines for, left me cold. I couldn't understand why Reitman didn't call up his old buddy Aaron Eckhart in order to give the audience a real smoldering love interest we could lust after along with the leading lady.
U.S. & World
Scott: You're selling this film short--it's also a cautionary tale about what can happen in the absence of self-awareness, and the pitfalls of arrested development. And you cast yourself as the "gripe-y one," Miss "I Expected More." It's funny what you mention about Wilson vs. Eckhart, because to me they're very similar guys: they're super talented, uber handsome men who, for whatever reason, can't catch get any traction with audiences (though I share your preference for Eckhart). I was similarly disappointed that Reitman didn't bring back J.K. Simmons and Allison Janney to play Theron's parents.
Sasha: I'll say it again, it's not that "Young Adult" is bad--let me be perfectly clear, I did like it, but "like" is such a wan aftertaste--I just wish it had more meat on its bones. I wanted "Young Adult" to rock my world, but it was more easy listening.
Scott: I'll grant you that it's not a particularly muscular film, but I would hardly describe it as easy listening--I found it delightfully discomforting. I suspect the difference in our opinions about "Young Adult" stem mostly from the fact that you thought "Up in the Air" was a 9, while I thought it was a 5, but we'd both give "Young Adult" about a 7.5.
"Young Adult" opens in limited release Friday, December 9th, but opens nationwide just a week later, on December 16th.

Day 1: 2013 CAR CRAFT Summer Nationals Presented by Chevrolet Performance
We recap the winners of the day, events that took place and what to expect tomorrow
There are only a few ways to properly kick off a weekend-long car show, touring a local performance parts manufacturer is one such way. Day 1 of the 2013 CAR CRAFT Summer Nationals presented by Chevrolet Performance started at QA1's headquarters located in Lakeville, Minnesota. The local manufacture is known for its suspension components produced for a variety of vehicles. Celebrating its 20th anniversary, QA1 gave patrons a tour of the premises, fed the crowd with free coffee and donuts, and wrapped up the event with a cruise to the St. Paul, MN State Fairgrounds.
Be sure to read the full recap of days 1, 2, and 3 of the 2013 CAR CRAFT Summer Nationals presented by Chevrolet Performance:
The QA1 Tour and Cruise
The lawn behind the QA1 Lakeville plant was crammed with cars, 150 classic rides were pre-registered for the event. Picnic tables under trees gave visitors a place to enjoy the sunrise and to chow down on some breakfast. Many snagged a donut and coffee, and then lined up to take an exclusive tour through the American motorsport company.
CAR CRAFT was given a side tour with Melissa Scoles, the president of QA1; she showed us a behind the scenes look at how parts are made: from ball joint press-in sleeves, to the loop-end of a shock body we were impressed with the quality that goes into each part. Take a look at the pictures below to see the custom engineering used in QA1's composite lab, an in-house engineered filament winding machine used to assemble carbon fiber driveshafts. Expect the unique shafts to be introduced at SEMA later this year and on sale in the first quarter of 2014.
At the St. Paul, Minnesota State Fairgrounds
From Lakeville, Minnesota those who participated in QA1s open house cruised 40 minute north on Interstate 35 arriving at a preferred entrance to the Summer Nationals. At the general admission gate a long line of spectators waited to buy tickets to the 18th annual Nationals; inside, cars were packed on the grass in every direction.
"It looks pretty full, guys," Ed Zinke the publisher of CAR CRAFT Magazine said in excitement as we arrived at the event. "It should be a good day."
Chevrolet Performance
As we parked behind the main stage, the site of a bright blue, 2014 Chevrolet Camaro Hot Wheels edition poked out of the Chevrolet Performance tent. The booth is showcasing 10 unique vehicles this weekend, from a convertible COPO Camaro to a 1953 Suburban.
"We're excited to interact with out enthusiasts," Bob Phipps, Program Manager of Chevrolet Performance, said. "It's always nice to get out and hear about everyone's projects."
Autocross and Real Street Eliminator sponsored by FRAM and QA1
The QA1 autocross was a huge hit on the first day of the 2013 CAR CRAFT Summer Nationals. Cars lined up to take a shot at turning corners, opening the throttle, and slamming on the brakes. A few cars spun out, while most stayed on the pavement. One guy's truck came to a complete stop after his passenger door flew open. The fastest lap of the day went to Jeremy Fohrenkamm of Riverfalls, Wisconsin in a '1976 Triumph Spitfire pulling an impressive 29.05 second lap time. The Triumph sports an original 1.5L 4-cylinder; from the factory it had 56 hp, now it's churning 110 hp with internal modifications.
It was a great first day at the stop box; the competition is sure to heat up tomorrow, Saturday July 20th as day 2 of the CAR CRAFT Summer Nationals Presented by Chevrolet Performance gets under way.
Lucas Oil Dyno Challenge
The Lucas Oil dyno challenge was surrounded with spectators all day, the audience took turns guessing the horsepower numbers of cars as they back-up onto the rollers. When we visited the dyno, Larry Schalo, 58, of Andover, Minnesota had his 1969 Charger ready to roll. The 493 ci stroker with a six pack mixing fuel and air pumped out a whopping 433 hp. We were impressed.
Performance Marketplace
With loads of vendors making an appearance this weekend, the midway action was in full force Friday afternoon. Products from over 40 different companies were on display and ready for an entire weekend of visitors. Definitely don't be shy, come check out all there is to offer around the fairgrounds this weekend. There's a lot to see: Race Coatings, Universal Parts, World Speed Shop, Automotive Speed Shop, Chris Alston's Chassisworks, and more. Heck, if you need sunglasses New York Shades has you covered!
The COMP Cams Engine Duel Contest
During the weekend long car show, two teams are paired up each day, going head-to-head to assemble and engine and to start it first. The record is in the 25 minute range for the year, and today that time was nearly beaten. Sadly, when the event was almost over, the team that was ahead ran into a snag - their valves were set incorrectly. They quickly scrambled to lift the distributor, pull the plug wires, remove the valve covers, and correct the mistake. In the end, Ian Rabanus and Bob Whebbe squeaked out the win with a time of 34:46. Whebbe beat his brother, Tom Whebbe, and teammate Nick Wornett's time of 58:02. It was a close race, but Ian (a local high school auto tech teacher) and Bob came through. The 2013 CAR CRAFT Summer Nationals COMP Cams Engine Duel Contest will continue tomorrow at 11:00am and 3:00pm. The 3 o'clock competition is booked, but head over to the COMP Cams booth is you'd like to take a shot at winning a $250 gift card during the 11 o'clock face-off.
Pro Builders Shootout
This weekend we have the main event right in front of the main stage, it's called the CAR CRAFT Pro Builders Shootout. This is an event where YOU are the judge. Stop by the Pioneer tent located directly in front of the stage to cast your ballot. There are five pro builders to choose from, Lakeside Rods and Rides; Muscle Car Restoration; Rad Rides by Troy; The Roadster Shop; and Schwartz Performance. Each has brought a custom build and wants YOUR vote. Who will be crowned the winner? It's your choice. Read more about all the ways to vote, the cars that have been brought, and details about the builders HERE.
F.A.S.T. Burnout Contest
The 2013 CAR CRAFT Summer Nationals F.A.S.T. Burnout Competition was huge this evening. The grandstands were loud with cheers and the participants were all qualified to burn rubber. Each car marched up to the steel slab on the ground and proudly spun their tires. Each contestant tried to rally the crowd with fist thrusts and yells. In the end, it was Keith Simonet, 41, of Anoka, Minnesota that took home the victory with his '82 Pontiac Trans AM. Simonet blew his tire, then paraded the field with the rubber around his waist like a belt. The Pontiac is a derby car that he proudly admits has been in many accidents. Spewing chunks of rubber, a speaker grate and other miscellaneous parts, the Firebird was by far the burnout champion for day 1. Simonet says he'll be back Saturday and Sunday to win again, be sure to bring your ride if you'd like to take home the next trophy.
Miss CAR CRAFT Summer Nationals Race Wear Contest
Ten girls showed up, but only one went home with the crown this evening. Ashley Cammela, 22, of Minneapolis, Minnesota was crowned the 2013 Miss CAR CRAFT Summer Nationals during the all-new extended hours titled "Friday Night Lights." The contest was the first installment, this round was the race wear contest. Girls trotted on stage, answered questions and showed their "stuff" to the crowd. The event drew lots of spectators, many of which took photos and videos with their phones. Sunday at 2:30pm will be the next Miss Summer Nationals contest, be sure to get to the main stage to see who wins - and what they wear!

It's no secret that most seniors today prefer to "age in place" -- and healthcare innovators hear that loud and clear.
But despite patients' preferences, chronic illnesses that cause many seniors to require care that's difficult to provide at home aren't going away any time soon. Nursing homes and assisted-living facilities face unique challenges in the wake of cuts to funding and reimbursement, and a growing elderly population, and some innovators have them in mind, too.
Here are a few useful innovations that elder-care facilities should know about.
HEAL iPad app: Designed to make patient handoffs more efficient, this app allows nurses to manage their patient load and share notes with other nurses digitally. At the end of her shift, a nurse uses the app to "sign off" her patients to the incoming nurse, who is prompted to accept them when she logs in and begins her shift. When she accepts the patients, the outgoing nurse is notified with a text message. The incoming nurse now has access to all of the notes previously made about patients, with the most recently edited patient records appearing at the top of the screen.
Touch-free Life Care System: BAM Labs has developed a sensor mat that's placed under the mattress of any type of bed to turn it into a smart bed -- one that enables caretakers to track a patient's movement, heart rate, sleep activity, and respiration remotely. Using a network device that connects the sensor to local Wi-Fi, the system transmits data to a mobile device to help caretakers manage and prevent pressure sores and falls in patients, and keep up with documentation.
GeriJoy: With elements of gaming, social sharing, and information technology, this startup has created Buddy, a virtual companion for the elderly. Backed by human intelligence enabled through an Internet connection, Buddy can read out news, weather, or tweets from family members and talk back to users when prompted. The program is designed to work on a tablet and mimic the intellectual and emotional benefits of having a pet.
Insta Compounding System: Developed by Patients' & Consumers' Pharma, this technology is used by healthcare professionals to convert commercial tablets and capsules into custom-flavored liquid medications for patients with difficulty swallowing pills. That patient population includes the elderly and patients with Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease. Using a wet milling process, the system converts medicines into uniform textured liquids.
Connected for Life: The Research Triangle Park health IT firm Family Health Network eases seniors into computer technology while connecting patients with caregivers, family members, and healthcare professionals so that they can all share important health information and encourage patients to remain engaged in their care. It's intended for independent seniors, but may also be useful in assisted-living settings.

Post Marketing Commitments
As part of the United States regulatory approval process for new medicines, new uses of existing medicines and the continuous monitoring of safety, companies may be required to conduct additional studies and testing to support the safety and effectiveness of their medicines. In the European Union (EU) companies can be required to conduct additional studies and testing to support the safety and effectiveness of their medicines, or to carry out other defined activities, at any time in the life of a product, These studies, testing and other activities are referred to as post marketing commitments (PMCs). This Web site provides some general information about how post marketing commitment studies are conducted, as well as status information for post marketing commitments listed for US products and for products approved via the Centralized Authorization Procedure (CAP) in the EU.
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) information about US post marketing commitments can be found at the FDA Web site.
European Medicines Agency information about post approval commitments can be found at the European Medicines Agency website.
About the Information Posted on This Web Site:
This Web site contains information about Pfizer's post marketing commitments for pharmaceutical products in the US and for medicinal products approved via the CAP in the EU. The post marketing commitments listed here include pre-clinical, clinical and epidemiological studies or testing and for the EU other activities agreed to by Pfizer (including its group companies/subsidiaries) and the FDA or European Medicines Agency, and are used to gather additional information about the safety, efficacy, or use of approved Pfizer medicines, or help ensure their safe use. This Web site provides the current status of Pfizer post marketing commitments listed on the FDA Web site. It includes post marketing commitments established for Pfizer medicines in the US since August 1, 2000 and for EU medicinal products approved via the CAP. New post marketing commitments will be added to this Web site as they are established.
This Web site does not contain technical chemistry, manufacturing and control (CMC) commitments, or commitments for medicines for which a Pfizer group company is not the license holder. Information about Pfizer's post marketing commitments is believed to be correct at the time that the information is posted, and is subject to change as progress is made in fulfilling the commitments.
This Web site is updated monthly. The status of post marketing commitments shown on the FDA Web site may differ from information displayed on this site, due to differences in the timing of updates made to the FDA Web site. The number of commitments on the two sites may also differ, due to the frequency of such updates and/or due to multiple reporting of single commitments on the FDA Web site.

I would like to communicate specials via text to cell
Jun 25, 2020 1:08:35 PM
Hi everyone! While we continue looking into adding a SMS tool directly in our system, we're happy to announce users can now connect their accounts with EZ Texting. We recognize it is not a solution to this feature request, it is something we suggest in the meantime.
In addition to creating email reminders for an event, having the ability to allow an opt-in for a text message reminder would be a useful feature. Any possibility this is being considered?
This is a great idea, thanks for posting! I can't speak for a timeframe but the ideas shared here help detemine future updates so keep posting!
Text reminders are a GREAT idea, let's start there ....
I'd also like to see the option added for emails & surveys too!
For example ...
If a registrant would like to add text notifications to their profile, upon signing up, Constant Contact would then include a text message to those recipients either instead of or in addition to an email being sent to them.
These text messages should contain links to things like an event landing page, a survey, the events calendar, or even a "sent" email. This text message could go to all event registrants or any "list" of people for that matter.
All of this would make Constant Contact an even more useful tool for all users.
Thanks for listening!
Would like to be able to send text blasts when email or event email is sent
Unfortunately we do not offer a feature like this at this time but thanks for posting this feedback!
Interested in adding text to contact list for instant messages.
Hi NyerereD
We offer a text to join feature which allows people to join your list via text message. Click Contacts > SignUp Tools and then Text To Join to set this up.
Thanks for posting this feedback!
It would REALLY be nice if you would add SMS/text option as reminders for Events. This would help increase attendance for some events!
Thanks for posting this feedback!
Thanks for posting this feedback!
Long Beach Public Library would like to request development of a text messaging feature. Please contact Jill Thank you.
YES! We need SMS capability, including maintaining phone #'s for SMS in Contacts. 20% of my Contacts prefer texting over email.
Hannah, is the Text-to-Join feature only for joining the email list? Not for receiving our campaigns by sms text, correct?
I would like to have a response button to text back to us. It adds another response option to our emails. Especially helpful for emails opened on mobile device.
All we would need is an SMS contact list. Then we can send a text link to the campaign page on our website or on CC's website. We don't have to send the whole campaign out via text. Just the ability to SMS 1-2 lines of text to a large group of customers would work great!
I spoke with a representative today that explained that you do not provide text marketing, but put me on a list to the developers that I have requested this type of service. But, after reading that this has been requested since 2014, I am curious what direction the developers are going in. I can use a third party integration with Constant Contact, but that would just eliminate Constant Contact since my customer lists are constantly updated and stored in QuickBooks and not Constant Contact. We would happily pay the additional premium to use this service withing Constant Contact rather than use a third party as we love using Constant Contact for the ease of use.
I agree that SMS is a spectacular idea and very necessary in the phone age. Too many people don't even use email any more. We still get a big response to our emails, but not as big as it used to be even when we had a much smaller number of contacts. We boost the response by posting ads in social media with the newsletter, which does help a lot. But SMS would give us a HUGE boost and carry us well into the future! SMS please!
This is a great idea. As it is, I have a great "phone tree" type service that includes this already for free and I can add a link back...it is an extra step but it works.
I want to be able to text up to 1,000 people at once. Looks like you don't have this option. Oh well.
Hello @JeffZ ,
Thanks for reaching out to us with this feedback! Were you creating an event campaign or were you using the RSVP block in your email when you were looking for a similar feature?
Are you looking for the ability to send out text message reminders, or would this be for you to reach out separately?
This is part of the event campaign. We currently manually create email reminders to registrants and I send them out two days before the event. Researching Demco Software: Signup offers an option for automatic wait-lists and allows the user to decided how they are reminded of an event (text or email).
I am looking for the ability to send out a text message reminder to those who registered for an event. The manual email reminders only see about a 50% open rate and I see a 30%+ drop off rate at the event.
Hello @CynthiaR176,
What are you looking to do exactly with text campaigns? Are you looking to send out a text version of your campaign out? Do you want to text users a blurb with a link to your campaign? Are you looking for a different functionality all together?
A short blurb with a link to the campaign would be perfect for me.
It would be great to have the ability to text clients.
Many members of our church do not have email addresses. We need to send information to them via text. Will this option ever be available?
This would be great as long as Constant Contact doesn't start adding that on as another paid item. I think we should be able to run a/b tests and not be charged as well as social media plans etc. The costs keep going up and up.
We use both CC and One Call Now. Would love to be able to do away with one and just use the other. I know people like CC better but it doesn't offer SMS or other similar OCN features. The ability to send both email and texts, to have recipients be able to opt out of one or both would be great too. To be able to track who opened etc would also be helpful. Basically, heh, have the development team go to One Call Now, see what they offer and adopt those aspects CC doesn't
I am had an opportunity 2 years ago to use TEXT marketing, that along with your current platform would be off the charts!
Hi everyone! While we continue looking into adding a SMS tool directly in our system, we're happy to announce users can now connect their accounts with EZ Texting. We recognize it is not a solution to this feature request, it is something we suggest in the meantime.

For over five thousand years, there were always three binding rules for all Masters of Sinanju:
1) Payment is always in gold. No checks.
2) There is only one Master and one pupil.
3) No woman will ever be trained in Sinanju.
Sunny Joe Roam will throw the last two rules out the window in order to fulfill his tribe's oldest commitment. He will train both Stone Smith and his half-sister Freya Williams in the deadly art of Sinanju, ushering in a new era for the tribe.
But will the lethal brother-sister duo be enough to help their new boss Benjamin Cole stop the Great Mexican Ninja Army from invading the southwestern United States?
WINSTON "STONE" SMITH: Winston is the son of Remo Williams and a Folcroft nurse. Stone was sent to military schools by Harold Smith, a man he believed to be his uncle. After graduation, he joined the Navy where he joined the famed SEAL Team Six. After various other jobs, including attempts at following in his father's footsteps as assassin and mercenary, Stone is being trained in Sinanju by his grandfather Bill Roam when he's not trying to keep Freya from pestering him.
FREYA WILLIAMS: Freya is the daughter of Remo Williams and Jilda of Lakluun. She spent eleven years traveling the world with her mother until Jilda died saving her daughter from Kali. She was then adopted by her grandfather, Bill "Sunny Joe" Roam and lives on the Sinanju reservation. A child of two distinct cultures, Freya feels isolated in the cliquish reservation but has grown close to her half-brother Stone.
BENJAMIN COLE: Ben was a Mossad sleeper agent stationed with his wife in Egypt. After his wife's death, Ben had to be smuggled out of the country and came to live in America as a CIA analyst in 1989. In 2009 he was granted exclusive access to a program formed under Homeland Security. His mission is to track and eliminate terrorists. Ben has just been given two Sinanju protégés as agents and won't hesitate to use his new license to kill if it keeps America safe.
HELMUT BELISIS: Helmut is a German-raised Greek who heads the most secret organization on Earth: VIGIL. The group is sworn to ensure the survival of the human race for the next million years, regardless of the cost. Their world-wide reach keep the masses fed, stupid and create artificial targets for any opposition to their goals. Helmut's predecessor boasts that he is the one who instructed Kennedy to start CURE and personally chose Harold Smith to head the organization. The appearance of the group headed by Ben and manned by Freya and Stone are a speed bump to VIGIL's path to world domination.
Harold W. Smith has had to think outside his once impenetrable box for the first time in his life. With a radical in the White House and the disappearance of his assistant director Mark Howard, Smith disconnected the direct line to the White House, making CURE a rogue agency. Now he has delegated authority to a man who shares Smith's unshaking loyalty to America, Ben Cole. Given two proteges of the Sun Source of all martial arts - Sinanju - Ben will use his license to kill as often as it takes to ensure America's safety.
It's the second coming of Warren Murphy and Gerald Welch is riding shotgun!
Forgotten Son is the first book in the new Destroyer spin-off series, Legacy. Violence is escalating at the US/Mexico border. Smugglers run rampant while decapitated heads decorate billboards like Christmas tree lights. But the cartels choose the wrong place to conduct their business when they decide to cross the Arizona border belonging to the Sinanju tribe.
That's where Ex-Mossad agent Benjamin Cole comes in. Ben has just been tapped to head a secret new government agency responsible for stopping terrorist acts. He is only given two field agents, but fortunately for him, Freya Williams and Stone Smith are the daughter and son of a certain Remo Williams.
This is old-school Murphy at his best, with explosive action, biting satire and engaging characters. Welch, coming off strong from the first five books in his Last Witness series, brings a spark of magic to the mix, but you kind of expect that from someone who has an honest-to-God lightning bolt scar on his forehead.
Fans of the Destroyer are going to love Forgotten Son and if you're one of the four people on Earth who have never heard of the Destroyer, then buckle your seatbelt, because you're in for a ride. If this book is any indication of what we can expect from future Legacy books, then Forgotten Son will be long remembered.

Coastal Bend, Valley unveil first stretch of Interstate 69
Ten signs mark newest freeway in Texas since 1992.
ROBSTOWN — The Rio Grande Valley came 6.2 miles closer to losing its distinction as the largest metro area in the nation without direct access to an interstate Monday with the first stretch of Interstate 69, a trade corridor promised to someday link the Valley's Mexican border cities to inland America and Canada.
The segment already met interstate standards and required no new construction, making Monday's ceremony largely symbolic. But the 10 "I-69" signs make those miles the first new interstate in Texas since 1992, Texas Department of Transportation district engineer John Casey said, a milestone.
"Believe me, starting today you'll never look at this intersection and this segment of highway the same way again," Casey said.
"Interstate 69 connects ports, waterways, trains, airports and highways to create opportunities for jobs and increased commerce between the U.S. and countries on every continent across the globe. It's that big."
U.S. Rep. Blake Farenthold, R-Corpus Christi, said the designation was a "huge step for South Texas."
"I'm so glad this is happening I'm even going to drop the $200 to upgrade the navigation system software in my car so it will say, 'Enter I-69,'" Farenthold said.
Valley leaders gathered under the rumbling Texas 44 overpass for the sign unveiling said they were not about to downplay the event.
"I went into the Legislature in 1986, and we didn't even have an expressway," said state Sen. Eddie Lucio, D-Brownsville. "I-69 in this area south is obviously the beginning of what we consider to be another rainbow, where we hopefully can find a pot of gold in economic development."
State Sen. Juan "Chuy" Hinojosa, D-McAllen, said I-69 was all about attracting new business and creating new jobs.
"It's so important for the companies, the trucking companies that would bring all the merchandise," he said, "because time is money. We need to find way to expedite the flow of goods from Mexico."
Planners say I-69 will not be like the newly laid roadways that established the national interstate highway system a half century ago. Instead, it will be developed piece by piece, community by community, using a mix of state, federal, and local monies as they become available to upgrade existing lengths of highway.
Its current I-69 footprints include U.S. 59, 77, and 281, from the Louisiana border to the north to Brownsville and Pharr to the south, with upgrades to Texas 44 creating another interstate route from the Coastal Bend west to Laredo.
About 20 percent of the roadway already meets interstate standards. The rest need overpasses or other design changes to eliminate stops or slow-downs through small towns such as Driscoll or Riviera.
Judy Hawley, chair of the I-69 Advisory Committee, likened the process to strengthening different segments until there was a complete necklace.
"The way I look at it, we've got 593 miles to go, and 6.2 miles under our belt," she said.

'Responsible Parking' drive held by Rotaract Club Palampur to deal with traffic trouble
PALAMPUR – With number of vehicles rapidly rising, roads in Himachal's urban areas are now proving congested to handle the traffic load and long traffic jams are becoming a part of daily routine. For instance, in Shimla city, it's nightmare to drive private four-wheeler. The travel time within 15 km radius of the city has stretched to hours from minutes. Other districts are also hit by the same trouble.
Palampur in district Kangra is one of these places. Tired of nuisance created by poor parking habits of drivers and with a motive to help reduce down irresponsible parking, Rotaract Club Palampur held a 'responsible parking drive' in Palampur on Sunday. More than 300 drivers were educated about responsible parking practices. The members also placed stickers mentioning drivers name and phone number on the windshields of the cars.
It's true that poor attitude of drivers, wrong parking and insensitive behavior towards others on road adds to the misery. Like typical Indians, majority of people don't care how their wrongly parked cars become traffic nuisance. People do not use commonsense and have almost no clue about common interest of their own society. So, it makes sense to revive these faculties within people and educate them about dos and dont's while parking their vehicles.
Charter President of the Club, Gokul Butail, providing more information, said that in many situations we encounter cars parked irresponsibly on roadsides, causing huge traffic jams and sometimes blocking way for emergency vehicles such as ambulances. In such situations, having the driver's contact number on vehicle proves to be helpful. Butail further added that the club will hold more such drives in Palampur and surrounding areas in near future.
Rotaract Club Palampur is one of its kinds in Himachal. Such initiatives should have been started by HP Police a lot earlier. Awareness works better than fear, rudeness and challans in making long term reforms. The members of the club who participated in the drive include Princkle Chitra, Aashima Banta, Shikher Sood, Sahil Chitra, Aditya Saluja, Aditi Bali, Sunny Sharma and some others.

Alarming Rise in COVID-19 Deaths in Himachal as 18 Die in Two Days, 46 in a Week
Shimla-The traced number of patients of COVID-19 in Himachal Pradesh is falling in the official update issued by the state Health Department, but the fatality rate is rising at an alarming rate. During the last two days, the state has reported 18 COVID-19 deaths and 46 in the last week. On September 27, the state reported 11 fatalities. The deceased aged between 48 – 93 years. As per the official statistics, a total of 195 cases were traced yesterday, which took the tally of confirmed cases in the state to 14191. The COVID-19 death tally for the state has now risen to 170.
Solan district has reported the highest 2918 cases, while Kangra district has reported the highest 42 deaths.
Amid community spread, the state government was yet to issue any projections regarding the actual number of cases and deaths in the state. (Scroll down for latest district-wise statistics)
Details of COVID-19 Fatalities
State government appeared to have woken up to issue a statement over the alarming rise in the fatality rate. It is now that the government has realized that the situation asks for a strong strategy.

It's pertinent to mention that Prime Minister Narender Modi would be paying a visit to the state on October 3, 2020, to commission the Rohtang Tunnel. The state government is tirelessly working to facilitate VVIP guests.
"A common strategy must be prepared to provide proper treatment to the COVID-19 patients, especially with co-morbid illness,"
said an official statement issued yesterday.
"Proper strategy for Information Education and Communication (IEC) must be framed to motivate the patients with ILI symptoms to immediately rush to the hospital without delay, so that they may be provided with immediate treatment. This would help in timely treatment of the patients,"
the government said.
The doctors have been asked to ensure proper treatment to the patients, especially the patients with the co-morbid illness.
"Proper protocol must be adopted for home isolation for the asymptotic patients at home. It has been felt that such patients at home do not get proper treatment and care. Such patients must be treated as per the standard operating procedure,"
the government said.
After questions were raised over the arrangements at the COVID-19 hospitals following the suicide of a positive patient at the DDU hospital Shimla, the government asked the officials to ensure proper hygiene and cleanliness at these hospitals.
The government asked the officials to provide hot water, Kada and nutritious food and develop a mechanism for communication of the COVID-19 patients and their family members.
Senior doctors have been asked to daily visit the patients. Directions have been given to Medical Superintendents of all the Medical Colleges and major Zonal Hospitals in the State to ensure at least two rounds in a day to monitor all the facilities such as ward cleanliness, treatment to the patients, quality of food, and condition of toilets in their hospitals.
Further, the government said that the isolation wards in Chamba, Hamirpur and Nahan Medical Colleges would start functioning from tomorrow. It would also reduce the referral cases to IGMC Shimla, Dr RPMC, Tanda and LBSMC, Ner Chowk, the government said. The government also informed that 15 to 20 bedded isolation facilities would be provided in each of these medical colleges to facilitate the patients.

Himachal: COVID-19 Claims 116 Lives in 25 Days, Still No Concrete Strategy to Combat Community Spread
Shimla: Himachal Pradesh didn't get any respite from rising number of fatalities on September 25 too. Seven more patients succumbed to the infection. These deaths were reported from Shimla (2), Solan (2), Chamba (1), Siramur (1), and Hamirpur (1). The patients included six males and one female aged between 35-66 years. According to the Health Department, two of the deceased were patients of diabetes mellitus. (View details of the deceased below). So far, 152 people have lost their lives due to COVID-19 infection.
Further, according to the official report, a total of 293 cases were traced yesterday. The official tally had reached 13679 till 9:00 PM yesterday. (Scroll down for district-wise statistics).
Despite the onset of community spread, the state hasn't come out with any projection of the actual number of cases and deaths. There is no word on a strategy for combating community spread and minimize the casualties. Of the total 152 deaths traced by the government, 116 casualties were reported in the last 25 days of the September month. On average, the state is reporting four COVID-19 casualties per day during the current month.
Meanwhile, Dr Lokender Sharma, who was removed from the position of the Medical Superintendent, DDU, Shimla, following a suicide of a COVID-19 patient, has come out with statements which refer to the callous attitude of the state Health Department and its higher officials. He said that there was no negligence on his part and that he was ready for any inquiry. He said the higher officials are washing their hands of responsibilities by putting the entire blame on hospital administration and doctors. He again referred to the shortage of staff and his repeated reminders to the department regarding the same. However, it's pertinent to mention that the actual cause of the suicide was yet to be ascertained.
Govt Not Prepared for Peak Period of COVID-19 Spread: Sanjay Chauhan
The incident has led to protests from oppositions who allege ill-preparedness of the government in combating COVID-19. Sanjay Chauhan, former Mayor of Shimla and a leader of Communist Party of India (M), said that the incident highlights miserable state of and mismanagement at the COVID-19 hospitals. He said there is an acute shortage of health staff including doctors, nurses, and paramedical staff at the DDU hospital. More than 30 percent of posts are vacant at the hospital, he added.
The government has been claiming it an achievement to receive 500 ventilators, but there is no staff to operate them, he said. He said that the leaders of the ruling government are also criticizing the miserable state of the COVID-19 hospitals and asking to fix it.
"Instead of formulating any concrete plan to attend to this issue, the government is emphasizing on 'Havans' which is unscientific. It clearly displays the backward and unscientific approach of the ruling party,"
Chauhan said.
He said that the government should prepare a strategy to combat the spread on a war footing and constitute a task force under able leadership. The Chief Minister should call for an all-party meeting to gain their support to ensure appropriate preparedness to combat the peak period, he said.
Chief Minister Focused on PM Visit ahead of Rohtang Tunnel
The Chief Minister, however, did preside over a "Media Plan" meeting yesterday pertaining to the proposed visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the State on October 3, 2020 to inaugurate Atal Tunnel Rohtang.
Chief Minister directed the officers to ensure elaborate arrangements for installation of LED screens at different locations for the live telecast of the event. He directed the authorities to make special arrangements for the VVIP visits. He said that appropriate hoardings must be installed at different sites including district headquarters. A proper media centre with the internet and other facilities must be established to facilitate the media persons, he directed the officials.

Himachal: 10 COVID-19 Deaths in Single Day Take Tally to 145, DDU MS Replaced Following Patient Suicide
Shimla-Himachal Pradesh reported 10 COVID-19 deaths on September 24, 2020, which took the state's death tally to 145. This is the biggest single-day-spike in the fatalities – a matter of huge worry amid community spread. Kangra district reported the highest six deaths while Shimla, Chamba, Sirmaur, and Kullu reported one death each. The deceased including eight males and two females were aged between 55-78 years. At least five of these deceased were patients of diabetes mellitus.So far,
So far, Kangra district has reported the highest 37 deaths, followed by Shimla (24), Solan (23), Mandi (20), Una (10), Sirmaur (10), Chamba (8), Hamirpur (6), Kullu (5), Bilaspur (1), and Kinnaur (1).
Go through the reasons of deaths given by the state Health Department below:
According to the official update, 337 new positive cases were registered yesterday. The total for the state has now reached 13,386. (Scroll down to view statistics for all districts)
DDU MS Replaced After COVID-19 Patient Suicide
As part of the damage control, the Medical Superintendent of Shimla's Deen Dayal Upadhyay (DDU) Hospital, Lokender Sharma, was replaced after a COVID-19 patient committed suicide inside the hospital premises. Dr Ramesh Chauhan has been appointed as the new MS. The case has led to protests against poor facilities and mismanagement in COVID-19 hospitals in the state. The opposition even staged a protest on September 5.
Reacting to his removal, Dr Lokender denied any negligence on his part and said he had been working with insufficient staff and limited facilities. He also alleged that the administration did not consider his repeated complaint regarding the same. Himachal Pradesh Medical Officers Association (HMOA) has also pointed out that the state government has not done anything to chalk out a comprehensive strategy to deal with the pandemic. They also pointed out the lack of trained staff.
These developments, including a sudden spurt in the fatality rate among COVID-19 patients, are now exposing the poor preparedness of the state government. The government doesn't seem to have any clue about controlling the spread. There is no data on the projected number of actual cases as it is not possible to trace all infected amid a community spread.
While there is a dire need to make more efforts to save lives, the government and the Chief Minister Jairam Thakur appear to be busy in preparing for the visit of the Prime Minister Narender Modi for the opening of the Rohtang Tunnel.

Show heart rate data on swim activities
Currently the swim data from the HRM-Swim doesn't display. It would be good to get it on there for suffer score etc.
Currently the swim data from the HRM-Swim doesn't display. It would be good to get it on there for suffer score etc.
Almost 2 years of comments :(
Both Training Peaks and Garmin Connect offer good swimming analysis, currently IMHO the latter is better but I use both and have discontinued my Premium Strava. It's a fun social toy, but training tool, no.
Definitely would be useful to have the swim HR!
Please add this functionality.
If it doesn't get added by the time my renewal comes around I'll cancel my premium subscription and spend the money on training peaks.
For goodness sakes, please sort this out. Aren't you embarrassed by the lack of support for swim data? I'm definitely reconsidering my premium subscription. Please resolve this issue.
I agree, that this really would be useful.. as i swim a lot, but don't cycle, this would make me pay for premium, as i can then use it with running..
I just cancelled my premium subscription.
There is a little box where you can enter why you cancelled. I guess, if they get hit by enough little boxes with comments regarding HR data for swim workouts they might assign some resources to get things moving.
Works perfectly fine in TrainingPeaks btw.
Please add this functionality.
Well I should have read this before buying a Garmin TRI HR. Bloody annoying. Strava, come on get your act together and support Garmin swim HR.
I'm guessing my heart rate data isn't showing on my Strava for work outs and runs because I'm using my HRI Tri? Seriously Strava, what is the reasoning behind not supporting the data?
Well my guess is that Strava's official reason is that Garmin's FIT files for swimming with HR data are organised slightly different than the usual FIT files. For instance HR data is appended to the file - albeit with correct time stamps so it can easily be associated with the workout timing.
TrainingPeaks solved this - for now - by allowing multiple workout files for a single workout. So the swimming workout is transferred automatically - without HR data - and I simply export and upload the TCX (not FIT) from Garmin Connect to an existing TrainingPeaks workout. TrainingPeaks automatically merges the two and voilá: HR data for swimming activities.
As mentioned, I cancelled my Strava Premium over this.
The Swim heart Rate Zone Analyse does not show in Strava, neither does average tempo, tempo, calories, average HR, HR, Average swolf or training effect, BUT all this shows in Garmin Connect! Why Strava?
+1, and I also want swim workouts to be included in Fitness & Freshness scores!
Yep - I've now cancelled my Strava Premium because this still isn't a thing. As a Triathlete and Open Water swimmer, this is a fundamental requirement!
I wish I had read this before buying all the gear. I thought it a fair assumption that swim HR would add to the suffer score in Strava. It is the main reason I went premium. incredible.
Two years since this was brought to your attention. Is this just a 'paid for' Facebook for cyclists? You keep getting the subscriptions but no action Strava! Very disappointing.
I agree that Strava should provide this feature, but to me it's even more incredible that Garmin don't add swim workouts to their equivalent 7-Day Training Load metric, especially when it's a Garmin swim HR monitor I'm using!
Sorry to say I don't think I will be renewing my premium account on the back of this. Looks like I'll be joining the others on Training Peaks
i stopped my premium subscription because Strava doesn't support swim HR. I will renew it when they will make it work.
I've also stopped my premium account due to this. Did the same mistake as some other persons in this thread, bought the HRM Swim before realizing that they dont support it.
Once I moved to TrainingPeaks I never looked back - structuring your week is much better if you can do it ahead of times. If Strava wants to be Facebook let them be Facebook.
It's a must-have. Works fine on a free Endomondo account.
Also just cancelled premium to invest in training peaks. I do note however that training peaks also doesn't import HR data from my Garmin, though it does assign swim TSS and thus recognise my efforts ! I'll see how it goes.
It is fairly easy to get your HR data into TrainingPeaks for lap swimming workouts (it is there by default for open water swims):
if you use Garmin as a tracker export the activity as TCX
go to calendar view in TrainingPeaks and select the lap swimming activity
click the Files button and upload the TCX file
TrainingPeaks will merge the information from the two files and your HR data will be accessible and you may switch between sTSS and hrTSS if you wish.
@ Christian D - thanks. That's good to know.
@strava... you really need to get this sorted or you will be losing me too...
A number of lost subscribers already would have more than paid for the development resource to roll out this feature.
Source: I'm a digital project manager and literally deal with this sort of stuff all the time.
This seems like a no-brainer, particularly given the official comment's note that they do accept the heart rate data from some devices. Add me to the chorus of people voting for this feature (and annoyed by its continued absence).
echoing a comment above: "+1, and I also want swim workouts to be included in Fitness & Freshness scores!"
