Chevrolet Silverado Electric: What We Know And Expect
— Jan 1, 2022
General Motors has plans to launch 30 new EV models globally by 2025, introducing a broad range of battery-powered vehicles across a multitude of segments. That includes new pickups, with one of the most hotly anticipated reveals being the upcoming Chevy Silverado electric truck.
A rendering of the upcoming Silverado electric
As of this writing, GM has just one electric truck on the market: the GMC Hummer EV Pickup. While that model is focused on high levels of all-out performance and off-road capability, the upcoming Chevy Silverado EV will focus on the traditional light duty pickup truck values and features. As such, in order to be successful, the Silverado Electric will need to do everything that the internal combustion-powered Chevy Silverado 1500 can do, but better, without compromise with regard to space or capability. What's more, the all-electric Chevy Silverado will be positioned as a personal truck as much as a work vehicle, with fleet variants offered as well. That's quite different from its GMC Hummer EV counterpart, whose purpose is personal use and play, rather than for work.
The Chevy Silverado electric will likely resemble this sketch released by the GM Design team in March 2021
Outside, the Chevy Silverado electric pickup will look quite a bit different from the GMC Hummer EV Pickup, likely with a more traditional approach to pickup styling and proportions, with less aggressive front and rear end treatments and bumpers, given that this truck will be optimized for aero, as opposed to off-roading. But just like the Hummer EV, the Silverado E will not feature a separate cab and bed, instead featuring a non-interrupted body due to its integral construction (see platform section below).
In addition, the vehicle will follow the Chevy design language, as possibly hinted at with a recent Chevy Silverado design sketch. The new Chevy Silverado electric truck will not offer removable roof panels, but will instead offer a glass roof – a first for any GM pickup – possibly using SPD-SmartGlass technology to maximize range by decreasing size of HVAC compressor.
It's currently unclear whether the new battery-driven Silverado will offer different cab and bed lengths, or if it will only be offered in a Crew Cab, Short box configurations. Either way, GM will likely limit the available body style choices at launch, given more choices could impact profitability, and GM is looking to be as profitable as possible on EVs right out of the gate.
In the back, the Chevy Silverado electric truck will likely feature the Chevy Multi-Flex tailgate as well as the CornerStep rear bumper feature. It'll also be interesting to see how the Silverado EV will execute the sliding rear window, and if it will follow the Hummer EV in terms of the entire rear window sliding down, or if only a portion of the rear window will slide laterally, much like in the current ICE-powered Silverado models.
Finally, we should note that the Silverado E will offer very, very large wheels, and wheels wells that can accommodate them. More on that below.
Inside the cabin, the Chevy Silverado electric will feature a different cabin layout as compared to the Hummer EV, but with similar technology. The interior will likely be optimized for space, with a larger cab and more room in the rear sea, echoing the "no compromises" philosophy mentioned above.
As per the teaser released by Chevrolet, we see a large, horizontally-oriented infotainment in the center of the vehicle. We expect this to be driven by a system running Google Automotive, and complemented by a 12.3-inch driver instrument panel.
Other tech features will include cameras galore, including the 15 camera views currently offered on the internal combustion-powered Chevy Silverado. More cameras could be optional, including underbody cameras as seen on the Hummer EV. The Rear Camera Mirror should also make an appearance.
The Chevy Silverado electric pickup truck will be based on the BT1 platform, with a body-frame integral structure.
Keeping the Chevy Silverado electric truck planted will be an independent suspension with coil springs. While a non-adjustable setup is a given for base models, we expect Adaptive Ride Control (essentially Magnetic Ride Control "lite") and Air Ride Suspension to be an option, delivering an improved ride quality and variable ground clearance.
24-inch wheels are also on the docket, hiding a set of regenerative brakes with Regen-On-Demand. Meanwhile, a mode that optimizes the truck to sprint as fast as possible and four wheel steering/Crab Walk mode – all of which are offered by the Hummer EV – are possibilities.
Powertrain, Range, Charging
The Silverado EV will launch with first-generation Ultium battery powering GM Ultium Drive motors. That said, GM is already working on second-gen Ultium goodies with lower costs, greater range, and more performance, as GM Authority covered previously. Expect the second-generation to offer 400-volt DC fast charge capability, up to 800-volt DC fast charging.
Range-per-charge is expected to come in between 300 miles and just over 400 miles, with range ratings dependent on the model and powertrain configuration. A single- and dual-motor powertrain will definitely be offered, while a three-motor setup is a possibility.
As a reminder, the GMC Hummer EV offers two- and three-motor setups, with output ranging from 625 horsepower, 800 horsepower, and 1,000 horsepower. The Chevy Silverado EV could offer some of these options, or those in between.
That said, we've heard that the Chevy Silverado electric will take a focus on capability rather than performance, so although features like a 1,000 horsepower rating, Crab Walk mode, and Watts to Freedom mode are possible, they are unlikely.
As a pickup focused on usability, one big question mark is payload and tow ratings. After all, batteries are heavy, potentially impacting both metrics. As such, GM will need to find a balance between battery capacity and towing capacity. That said, EV power should make the Chevy Silverado electric rather quick, even without an overarching focus on performance.
Pricing for the Chevy Silverado electric will be more accessible than that of the Hummer EV, which starts at about $80,000 for the base-model Hummer EV2, which features 625 horsepower and 7,400 pound-feet of torque. The range-topping Edition 1 model costs $110,295 and features a three-motor setup and gets an estimated 329 miles of driving range and is rated at 1,000 horsepower and 11,500 pound-feet of torque.
We have heard various rumors about the starting price of the Silverado E, including that it will start at $35,000 or $60,000 range. For the sake of context, the 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning – Ford's upcoming electric pickup and direct rival to the Silverado E – will start at $39,974.
The trim level structure will be quite interesting for this vehicle. Given that Chevy will want to launch with the "core" trims first, we expect Work Truck, LT, LTZ/Premier models to launch first.
expect the new electric Chevy Silverado pickup to be called Chevrolet Silverado E, rather than Silverado EV or Silverado Electric. With that all covered, let's dive into the specifics.
Launch Timeframe & Availability
The new Chevy Silverado electric pickup will debut January 5th, 2022 in conjunction with the Consumer Electronics Show (CES). General Motors was originally planning to reveal the pickup in-person at the event, but due to health concerns related to the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated Omicron variant, GM has decided to withdraw from an in-person appearance at CES and debut the vehicle digitally instead. Reservations will open in conjunction with the reveal, including both fleet and consumer versions.
Production of the Chevy Silverado electric pickup will kick off at the GM Factory Zero facility (previously known as Detroit-Hamtramck) in early 2023.

What To Expect From Chevy In 2023
I'm ready to make my deposit without hesitation. I think the new Silverado and Sierra EV's will be highly desirable trucks. The possibility exists to have class leading range, this is where it could really separate itself from its competition. A combination of this, plus any of the Hummer features with new ones specific to an electric truck platform. GM will be landing some haymakers against its rivals. Looks promising.
Shockandawe says:
Needs a bigger screen. gm bragged about Ultium for years, how the hell did Ford beat it to market with electric pickup?
gm will cut its own throat by overpricing this truck and then wonder why nobody will buy it.
F150 Lightning is a rush to market retrofit of the F150 platform. It's the classic "you don't have to be best, you just have to be first". It will only serve a 3 year life cycle, Ford will then have their own purpose built EV truck platform ready. So in many ways Ford is 3 years behind GM.
The Silverado on paper should be a much better platform for both GM and consumer.
Ford had originally intended on leaning on Rivian for an EV platform back when they pumped a few hundred million $ into Rivian years ago. But they weren't going to get their say (which is what GM wanted from Rivian and why they walked from an investment) and there was going to be production ramp up hurdles. Fast forward a couple years and Ford decided they had progressed far enough into their own full size EV platform that they would just go it alone, well they are still sourcing 'off the shelf' batteries. And in approx 3 years we'll see what they can offer. By then the Silverado EV will be closing in on a refresh, maybe gen2 Ultium.
1st impressions matter, Ford will steal the market from gm even if their truck is inferior. GM is a follower, always waiting to see what others do before acting.
Mr Mike says:
This is the rumor but all Chevy has is a rumor so far. Rumors and a below average Bolt. Yup, their #1 in EV. LMAO
If history repeats itself and it always does with GM it will be great except….(probably awkward looks and cheap interior). About the only thing GM is doing right these days in the Tahoe and Traverse. Corvette is awesome but has a little if that awkward GM showing through.
People like you complain that GM will not beat Ford to market, yet if they did you'd complain that they did not take their time to get the truck right.
It's a no win for GM with folks like you.
As noted below, the electric Silverado will be a new truck from the ground up, not a hybrid of the existing truck platform. It will feature technologies and capabilities Ford won't have.
And you also complain about the pricing without even knowing what the pricing will be.
I almost get the impression you're a Ford or Ram troll just trying to make GM look bad.
Oh yea that makes sense a person on a gm forum that is not even the official gm website is making gm look bad To a bunch of people who aren't going to buy it anyways that makes a ton on sense.
How can you defend GMs ev truck when we don't know anything about it. People like you defend GM no matter what.
John Sarappa says:
Glad they are sticking with the horizontal screen versus the ipad slapped on the dash look ala Hummer and f-150.
The interior is hardly the concern with this truck.
Wait until you see the outside of this truck…good God.
Good god as in good or bad?
Not good…at all.
I expect the Silverado EV to be expensive, sold in very limited quantities, and be nearly impossible to get your hands on.
Just like the rest of the EV trucks.
looks juicy to me and what's good will be a war to get at first, example: corvette.
I consider "a war to get at first" as a completely negative thing for everyone, unless maybe you're a dealer and want to mark up the price.
We just went through "alot" getting our brand knew Tahoe RST. You had to be open to different model/options choices and except vehicle with no delay cause of first choice customer waiting list.
Not fun when G.M. tells you what options on what models are being built coming in and the Dealer sitting with the Pricing Power.
Will I trade in my 2020 Silverado for a 2022 Silverado E? I don't think so for years to come.
Pasquale Bellomo says:
Hey Nate Hitler got to war first… Actually he started the war and look what happened to him and Germany. Rushing this Truck to market would be a mistake it will just amount to recalls and bad vehicles! Remember slow and steady wins the race in the real world where people keep their trucks for years and lots of miles… This isn't some look at me showey Telsa this is supposed to do hard work then go out and play on the weekends you need a reliable truck for that. The Ford will fail because they are rushing it and if it's anything like the Bronco dealer mark ups then forget it one person was charged $10,000 dollars above sticker for a Ford Bronco he told Ford to stick it.
So weird to bring up something that happened over 75 years ago and try to compare hitler to the car market.
Lol Hitler and WW2 is a crap analogy. Hitler almost had it, it's butt-clenching how close it was to losing Europe
People don't understand if he would of ordered the attack on Dunkirk when those 350,000+ soldiers were trapped there the war would of been over. America would of had no chance at that point to get involved with the entire British army gone France gone everything.
Carry says:
The Hitler mindset is alive and well in the good ol' right wing USA. Forget about ridiculous military spending, the real threat is from within…
This isn't new as a large portion of Americans supported the Nazis including Hitler's #1 fan; Henry Ford.
Will it be good at towing my 10,000 lb. 5th wheel RV across the country in 3 days?
Who will stock the 24″ rim & tires across the country? Cost???
Lot of real things to answer for me.
USA 1 says:
This is nothing more then a toy for the rich and the WOKE.
Guestt says:
Didn't know inanimate objects can sleep…..
What's the complaint if GM didn't have an EV pickup while Ford, FCA and startups have one?.
Don't option the 24s. It will have more torque and power, and its weight will bring stability. Grade braking will likely be better than engine braking and won't risk cooking the actual brakes. So yes it will tow better. Its energy consumption per unit will actually be more efficient than ICE. It's the charging that is the hiccup at this current time.
You act like all these narrow issues are what you're stuck with.
In relatively short order battery densities will jump and charging times will be slashed and 800v or better DC charging will roll out en masse. 200+ miles in 10 minutes may become reality with gen 2 Ultium or Tesla's next cells
Will it be good at towing a 5 ton trailer as a 100% ev in -30 degree Canadian Weather with 400 miles between stops? Probably not..
I love all these comments by people who say they have 8 cars and they all drive 1600 miles combined per day. And then wonder how they are going to recharge their cars at home (since they drive a combined 584,000 miles per year). I forget the user's name but he ACTUALLY claimed that here on GM Authority.
Hint #1: Electric vehicles perhaps will not be suitable for even 1/2 of the driving public ; and/or they may just prefer a gasoline vehicle.
Then they say, it will overload their home's existing electric panel.
Hint #2: Since they are spending over $105,000 per year on refueling (they drive 584,000 miles per year, don't you know), and my 3 evs cost between 1/3rd to 1/2 the amount to refuel using electricity vs $3.59 / us gallon gasoline, I'd take that $60,000 per year savings on refueling EIGHT electric vehicles every night, and spend $20-30,000 ONE TIME to have an electrician install 8 car chargers for me, along with the 400 ampere electric service. You don't have to worry about Governments for Road Use forgetting to raise taxes…. That's the FIRST thing they always remember to do.
As far as these goofy auto executives who say they will no longer manufacture ANY internal combustion engines after a certain date, I can only state that their companies will go bankrupt.
Bill Norton says:
You do realize that the Government/State/County/City hasn't forgotten anyone with a Hybrid or EV. Wait until you got to register/get plates for any of them, then you will know what sticker shock actually is. They are already charging extra for them based on the loss of gasoline taxes. As more of these hit the road, the surcharge will only continue to escalate.
Likely more expensive base price and more expensive top end than Lightning, but also more feature and content rich on both ends of the spectrum.
I could see a $45k starting price, but 300 miles vs Lightning 230.
If they can do $60,000 AWD, crew cab 400 mile it sounds tempting to reserve one, at least until more details come out. I have a 70/240 circuit ready and waiting a charging station to be plugged in.
AWD full size truck with 400 mile range will probably be more like $90k.
I doubt it. Fully loaded sure
You can guarantee that the full size truck with 400 miles of range will only be available on a higher trim level.
Unless you think GM is suddenly going to change how they price vehicles.
They have a 4×4 6.2 10spd crew cab with lift kit for what, $44? That is different from the past 10 years.
I could see an LT/RST equivalent, cloth seats, 400 mile battery for the 60k bracket.
Well I guess we'll find out, but the battery needed to push a full size truck 400 miles is going to be enormous.
I do not believe that will come cheap, and I don't believe GM is going to suddenly start selling the rest of the truck at cost either.
I'd expect 150-175kwhr
GM doesnt that to sell their ICE trucks at cost or even adjust pricing. If an LT equivalent EV is 60, that's High Country 6.2 price range.
I wish all new owners luck at receiving future consistent / fair electric rates to charge them not to mention crooks hurting/robbing people at charging stations in the news. Crooks seem to be smarter nowadays having victims come to them. Scary for now till security somehow deters them.
The first new owners will be the "Pioneers Of Public Access Charging".
The consumer always gets most R & D and infrastructure costs passed down to them in a ton of ways, either directly or indirectly.
Do you get flat gasoline/diesel rates? Mass American perception is "how can I save money". That's not really what it's about, it's just one of the current day-to-day perks of electric charging vs gasoline. A lot of people concerned about ROI on EV vs ICE too.
What are the perks about about electric charging besides getting robbed so your pockets are not as heavy?
I meant E-vehicles vs ICE, not charging.
Right now, 80% of electric vehicle charging is done at home…I pay 12 cents/kilowatt-hour (1000 watts for one hour of use – about 3-4 miles of driving in the Spring, Summer, and Fall in my compact Volt… So for each dollar expended in refueling gives me 25-33 miles.. Gasoline in my area at a 'cheap' gasoline station is $3.49 and 9/10ths per US Gallon (128 Fluid Ounces). So for my refueling cost over 3 seasons to be the same as an equivalent gasoline compact (which is what my 2019 VOLT is) – would be 87 1/2 to 115 miles per gallon…. so its from 1/2 to 1/3rd of the current refueling cost..
In my area, I also have the option (Western NY State) of paying about 5 cents / kwh from Midnight to 8 am. This lowers the refueling cost to 1/5th to 1/7th the cost of visiting the gas station..
Yes Pickup Trucks in general use more fuel – but the dollar amounts to be saved are therefore much more with pickup trucks.
I'm avoiding the Winter Season for a comparison – since during the coldest days of winter I let the engine run in my VOLT, and use the 'free' jacket heat to warm and defrost the cabin. During these times my vehicle is no worse than any other gasoline powered car.
That's cool as long as you have a garage issue is most people don't. I would not be comfortable with installing it outside without a garage. Sure you can charge while you are out and about but I don't wanna sit for 15+ minutes.
Why are you afraid of installing it outside? The cord can spoil up inside a locked cubby. And you can have password/phone protection/access so only those authorized get juice. Are you afraid of leaving your hour with no one home? No because you lock the door.
You fear what you don't understand
Where I live there are some punk kids who like to play around a lot I wouldn't trust they would destroy it or at least try to just because they could. They are the type to take a package off your porch and if it isn't something they want you will find it in the ditch a mile away.
Yo. SUP. Not to mention trying to hook up my gangster small crap E car 800 amp. draw rap boom box needing the power grid and 8 pitbulls to keep it. and picture of hair sniffer on center console. Won't be easy.
JT says:
You fail to mention your VOLT has an internal combustion engine
He did say he runs the engine in his Volt
Wallace says:
No problem, I charge at home. Got my 357 to avoid any problems there.
HMMMM. Interesting. Just got me thinking…. I wonder what it would cost for battery replacement and what would happen to a big E car battery with a round put in it? Wondering if U.L. will test that and consumer reports steer you to their patrons?
I have a constant electric rate for the next 25+ years. SunPOWER.
D. says:
Screw all this. Bring back the REAL trucks, and leave them alone
Exactly. I don't think the 100% all electric concept will ever work out. I don't think they have all the future impacts thought out. To me it's just having us to pay for retooling their assembly lines to charge us.
I agree with you J. Even though I currently own 3 GM evs, I do not think even 1/2 of the ICE vehicles will ever be replaced… ICE vehicles are simply too efficient and effective and economical for what they do – so they'll be used for decades in the future.
A modern society, with all the chemical industry applications for petroleum products, simply NEEDS oil refineries… Prior to Heny Ford's Model "T", they used to burn unwanted gasoline in rivers or lakes, simply because the approximate percentage of gasoline, whether wanted or not, from the cracking tower is about 50%.
Surely it is better to cleanly burn it in a modern clean ICE (about 50 times cleaner than they used to be) and get some practical use out of the gasoline.
I do not see any compelling argument for why ICE vehicles cannot co-exist with electrical vehicles.
What will BACKWOODS FARM area charging stations charge for electric cars passing thru.?
Hope cracker barrel will like tourists there for a couple hours waiting for charge to finish. I'm sure they will have a few stations too.
Hyrolr says:
I wonder how the range is affected in very hot or very cold weather? Are we to be expected to return to the fifties where open windows were the way to cool off in hot weather and blankets were the order of the day if it was too cold for the small heater to adequately warm the vehicle? I routinely drive 600-700 miles in a day. How long does it take to charge once the battery is depleted? I admit that I know little about all-EV vehicles but I doubt I will have any use for one anytime soon. My current diesel half ton gets me a long way down the road between fills and I have no trouble finding a refuel location. I guess if all you do is commute and don't want to tow anything substantial for any distance, an EV might be okay. I just am not ready to be forced into something because the government thinks it will help the environment. As long as I can still choose, have at it! If you want one, get one. Just please don't tell me I HAVE to drive one, too.
Exactly, well said.
It's going to be below zero the next week here by me, how much charging time will I need to keep warm in my total electric vehicle?
You'll get 50 miles to a full charge in below zero weather!
Brandon has a truck for you my friend, it's called the SilvyErado!
I have a feeling this is going to fail just like the Silverado Hybrids did.
The hybrids failed because of price, cheap crappy interior, they where not much better then then a regular GM truck… This is new from the ground up they should call it Cheyenne or Custom Deluxe.
Shane says:
Gm has used cheap crappy interiors for decades this is nothing new. They are just now finally starting to make them decent with the new 22 trucks
Yes true Shane but in the hybrid trucks where like 70,000 thousands dollars and had a work truck interior design by Rubbermaid and pleather. I have an Equinox LTZ the interior is great quality. I remember a 2002 Camaro I had door panels would come loose, everything was grey plastic, you pull apart the raido surround plastic with your hands and a flat head screwdriver in 5 minutes.
Their mild hybrid should've been a full hybrid like F150 power boost

Salinarius says:
Stay classy, my friend, stay classy
Jack Holliday says:
does that mean LETS GO BUTT F++K JOE BIDEN?
L Kimura says:
When the weight of the battery exceeds max payload weight, I think it's time to consider propulsion with a smaller battery supplemented with an ICE based range extender. If max payload is 2000 lbs, a 1,000 lb battery with about 75 kWh supplemented with a 100 kw range extender with 20 or 30 gallons of fuel would weigh less but still provides the benefits of all electric drive for around 200 miles unloaded and 80 miles loaded AND provide conventional truck like ranges, loaded or unloaded, when the range extender is engaged. In addition the MPG efficiency will be better than a conventionally powered truck.
Good idea but a hybrid adds weight and complexity no you have a gas engine and batteries the weight difference will be made up for with the engine, transmission, drive shaft, 4WD old school transfer case, gas tank, exhaust… Good idea but not for a gas engine the 3.0 Duramax should be a hybrid imagine the fuel mileage. Who knows maybe Toyota and GM will work on solid state batteries together or whatever Toyota new battery technology is called. Besides battery technology in general is getting smaller and more efficient.
Mark Joy says:
Would like to see more about the capabilities. If you want to beat Ford will the new chevy be able to run your house during a power outage? Will the screen rotate? Will GM be able to meet the pre-order demand?
Competing in the World today is good.I,spent 10 years in the auto repair business in the 60s and 70s.Wev have learned so much and look forward to driving one of these electric Trucks,GM,Ford and Dodge is fine with me.I have had many since 1967.Go American truck makers.Good Luck.
Jerry Roane says:
Aerodynamics of this design will be really bad. GM should hire a few aero engineers and then listen to them. A Cd of 0.07 is what the competition is bringing. This legacy shape has a Cd of around .5.
The renders in this article aren't even close to what the Silverado EV will look like. There are pictures of it out there. It is certainly more aerodynamic.
Where? I haven't seen any leaks. Everything has been third party renders or various sketch concepts from GMs design studio that have no where near realistic proportions
Dave Baker says:
Will every Star Bucks have a charging station ? Will the Gov. charge a form of road tax on the power needed to charge EV ? Did they learn from the "Bolt" problems ? Finally what will the real cost of replacing the batteries be after they die ? They could end up having the worlds worse depreciation of Any vehicle sold because everyone will be afraid of the day their "Chevy" died. Did anyone see the video of the guy blowing up his tesla when he was told he needed to replace it's battery pack ?
dave baker the bolt problems were asian made batteries, noit the Bolt itself, bring mnfg back to America to slove that problem, almost every problem with any American vehicle can be traced to something made in asia/china. GM has the best auto engineers in the world but suffer from parts made in korea, japan , china
Justjoe says:
Where we live in Thunder Bay Ontario, we are 400 miles from Winnipeg to the west and 400 miles to Sault st Marie to the east with only a few towns in between. I cannot see trying to do a trip in winter in -35 or -45c with the heaters blasting. Don't think we could get very far. And our highway is frequently closed suddenly because of bad weather or accidents, there would be no way to stay warm for extended hours of road closures, so no to electrics for me
I agree… somewhat. But the best ?? Hardly ! Plus those that would or could achieve that title will be stopped by cost over value . Bonus 's over quality . Unfortunately something the General has become far to good at lately .
Todd Eastman says:
I'm Ready to buy one Right NOW – Today.
I wish they had 'em at the Dealership !
Lots of outdated information in the comments. The Silverado E (and the Ultium platform) are using solid state batteries. There is no electrolyte like these is in the Li-ion batteries in the Volt/Bolt. That being said – this battery technology is less affected by cold temperatures, charges faster, longer cycle capacity (less degradation over time), and stores about 40% more energy than traditional Li-ion batteries. They also weigh less.
I think like the F-150 Lightning, it will be Chevrolet's best Silverado yet. Once the OEM's are cranking these vehicles out I can guarantee gas stations will have charging stations installed quickly. Gas stations are a real-estate play. A 5-10 minute charge time guarantees customers in their door purchasing items more than those filling up with gas.
For folks driving 600-700 miles a day — what's your fuel bill? Electric will be one tenth of what you're paying for fuel. Early on you'll have trouble but the world is moving away from combustion quite quickly.
Chris I could not have said it better myself… The Ultium batteries will be a major leap forward in all applications. I can break down my fuel bill for my car… With current gas prices at 3.25 a gallon in NJ I fill up for $50 dollars Evey week that's $200 a month for one car for my wife's car whick is about the same price give or take a few dollars that $400 dollars a month to run two vehicles. My electric bill with running all the appliances, Christmas lights, without Christmas lights it's about $100 a month and whatever else uses electric in the house is on average about $200 a month now if I bought an electric car I would just use the money I am no longer spending in ⛽ gas . The bolt is an older platform more related to the Volt as far as batteries go. I don't understand why people are so afraid of new technology… I think the Silverado EV will be the best yet and it's also nice to see GM actually committed to these cars and the technology that goes with them.
For my 600 mile trips, my average fuel bill is about $52-$55. These are work trips and I make them in one day. I could never do that with any EV, especially given that the trips are in rural eastern Colorado and Western Nebraska. There are simply not enough rapid chargers in those locations. I admit I do not know much about battery technology or EV vehicles in general, but I do know that I have been stranded on Colorado and Nebraska roads in the wintertime for up to 3-5 hours in bad weather waiting for the roads to clear. I can idle that long, even at -10 to -20F and still have plenty of fuel in the tank to get to a fuel station or back home. I disagree with your comment that "the world is moving away from combustion quite quickly." ICE engines will still be in use long after we are gone. If 75KW or more is needed for a decent charger, gas stations will need to charge a premium rate for the electricity to recover the cost of charging stations and new infrastructure. Not to mention that in a lot of rural areas (not all of us live in or near large cities), the existing electric distribution system simply cannot handle the usage that would be developed from a large number of charging stations. I routinely drive long distances in rural areas where there are no charging stations at all. How long does it take to charge the batteries if plugged in to 110 Volts?
That's a lot of miles. You're definitely an edge case, and something like the new Duramax 3.0 diesel is perfect for that. Eventually EV's will get there. This technology moves fast — Chevrolet shipped the Volt with a 40mi. range and a decade later they'll be shipping a 400mi. range half-ton pickup for a similar price point. So basically a 100% increase in range per year. You don't see returns like that with combustion. The new Silverado diesel with SuperCruise sounds right up your alley…
Chris, funny you should mention the baby Duramax, that's exactly what I have in a Silverado 1500. For now, that's exactly what I need. Maybe you're right and the technology is moving faster than I think. I should get a lot of mileage out of my 3.0 before I need to switch to something else.

Q: cannot read property direction of undefined Observables Ionic I am developing a Ionic 5/angular aplication, and I am having trouble with the logout feature.
After log out, login page is display but inputs to enter user id and password cant be used (wont take any input from keyboard)
Only clue is following error that some times is displayed.

The logout method in component is :
     login(form){

    this.authService.login(form.value);

    this.authService.currentUser.subscribe(
      (data)=>{
        console.log(data);
        if(data) {this.router.navigateByUrl('home')}
          else {

            this.router.navigateByUrl('/login')
          }
      },
      (error) => {throw Error(error)}
    );

  }

I am using a behaviorSubject to keep track of logged user in service:
 private _currentUser: BehaviorSubject<UserLogueado> = new BehaviorSubject(null);

  currentUser = this._currentUser.asObservable();

  constructor(private hashingService: HashingService, private router: Router, private http: HttpClient) { }

  encriptarContrasenia(contrasenia: string): string {

    return this.hashingService.hashearString(contrasenia);
  }

  private setSession(authResult) {
    //const expiresAt = moment().add(authResult.expiresIn,'second');

    localStorage.setItem('auth_token', authResult.token);
    localStorage.setItem('auth_Refresh_token', authResult.refreshToken);
}

  login(usuarioFromForm) {

    var usuario;
    var dataToken;

    this.http.post<any>(environment.UrlBaseApi +'Authenticate/Login', { username: usuarioFromForm.email,
      password: this.encriptarContrasenia(usuarioFromForm.password) },
      {headers: new HttpHeaders({ 'Content-Type': 'application/json' })})
      .subscribe(
        data => {
          console.log(data)
          dataToken = data
          this.setSession(data)
          this.obtenerDetalleUsuario(usuarioFromForm.email).subscribe(
            data=>{
              usuario = data;
              //this._currentUser = new BehaviorSubject(usuario)
              /* this._currentUser.isStopped = false;
              this._currentUser.closed = false; */
              //this._currentUser.lift()
              this._currentUser.next(usuario);

            },
            (error) => {
              throw error
            }
          )
        },
        (error) => {
          throw error
        }
      )
  }

  getUserSubject() {
    return this._currentUser.asObservable();
  }

  isLoggedIn() {
    return !!this._currentUser.value;
  }

  obtenerDetalleUsuario(usuario: string): Observable<any>{

    return this.http.get<any>(environment.UrlBaseApi + `Authenticate/user/${usuario}`);

  }

  logout() {

      localStorage.removeItem('auth_token')
      localStorage.removeItem('auth_Refresh_token')

      this.router.navigate(['/login'])

      this._currentUser.next(null);
  }

Current user is used to display manus and headers in appComponent.
<app-menu *ngIf="currentUser">
<ion-header [translucent]="false" *ngIf="currentUser">
Any suggestion?
EDIT:
After trying different things, I notice that if I comment the following line in the logout mehod:
this._currentUser.next(null);

Application navigates to login page and inputs work. But since menus and header depends on subject, they are shown.
Any advice on how to fix subject?

A: Since currentUser is an Observable, it should be used with AsyncPipe in order to subscribe to it and receive its inner value as demonstrated below:
<app-menu *ngIf="currentUser | async">

A: Are you unsubscribing from this.authService.currentUser when the component is destroyed?
Component code:
destroyed$ = new Subject();

this.authService.currentUser.pipe(
   takeUntil(this.destroyed$)
).subscribe(...)

ngOnDestroy() {
   this.destroyed$.next();
   this.destroyed$.complete();
}

Q: Why is "totally ordered" necessary in this implication of the Axiom of Foundation The Axiom of Foundation was stated as:
Every non-empty set contains an element disjoint from it.
Then the following:
Every non-empty set $S$ contains an element $x$ such that no element $y\in S$ satisfies $y\in x$. This means that $x$ is an $\epsilon$-minimal element of $S$.

Thus the Axiom of Foundation implies that ever set that is totally ordered under $\epsilon$ is well ordered under $\epsilon$.

My question, please, is why is "totally ordered under $\epsilon$" necessary?
After all, if, as stated earlier, every non-empty set $S$ contains an $\epsilon$-minimal element and every non-empty subset is also a set, is that not enough (i.e., without the stipulation that it is also totally ordered) to assert that $S$ is well- ordered?
Thanks

A: Take set $\{0,\{1\}\}$. It is not totally ordered under $\in$ because neither $0\in\{1\}$ nor $\{1\}\in 0$, and thus not well-ordered under $\in$. Still, it satisfies Axiom of Foundation.

A: This comes down to the way "well-ordering" is defined.
Any non-empty set $S$ is well-founded - a well-founded partial order is one in which every (nonempty) set has a (possibly not unique) minimal element. A well-order, by contrast, is a particular kind of linear order; and $S$ need not be linearly ordered by $\in$!
Here's a way to rephrase the bolded statement:

Foundation says that the $\in$-relation on any set $S$ is well-founded; and so, in case $S$ is linearly ordered by $\in$, we will have that $\in$ is a well-ordering on $S$ (since the well-founded linear orders are exactly the well-orderings).

Critics Aside, Volt is Smart Compromise
There are three kinds of liars: liars, damn liars and battery makers, an engineer once told me. He was bitter about an electric-vehicle program that had been canceled years earlier, but anyone who has used a battery-powered device can understand his anger. Whether it is an iPod, cell phone or laptop computer, the charge just never seems to last as long as the manufacturer says it will. Battery makers

"There are three kinds of liars: liars, damn liars and battery makers," an engineer once told me.
He was bitter about an electric-vehicle program that had been canceled years earlier, but anyone who has used a battery-powered device can understand his anger.
Whether it is an iPod, cell phone or laptop computer, the charge just never seems to last as long as the manufacturer says it will.
Battery makers don't really lie, of course. Their predictions are just based on ideal conditions. And the real world seldom is ideal.
In the case of electric vehicles, driver behavior, temperature, accessory use, terrain and battery age all have an impact on range.
I experienced this recently at a test drive sponsored by the organizers of the North American Car of the Year award, where I serve as a judge.
The battery-powered Nissan Leaf touts a 100-mile (161-km) range. The instantaneous torque of the Leaf's electric motor makes it surprisingly fun to drive, but after briefly hammering it on some back roads, my range plummeted by more than 20 miles (32 km).
A few minutes of slower driving allowed me to recover some — but not all — of my alleged range.
My daily commute totals about 50 miles (80 km). With ideal conditions, that would be easy to do with a Leaf. But given Michigan's cold winters, my sometimes heavy foot and the inevitable side trips of everyday living, I fear it would add another level of stress to a drive already filled with angst.
The fact it takes eight hours to fully charge a Leaf with a 240V outlet and 20 hours with standard 120V service does not help.
Even so, the Leaf's clever design, lively performance and tax incentives that may bring the base price down to $25,000 should have buyers beating down dealership doors for a good two years.
But demand likely will plunge after that. It's hard to believe there will be enough buyers in the U.S. to sustain tens of thousands of sales annually for a car with such limited utility.
Subduing range anxiety is what the Chevrolet Volt's controversial powertrain is all about. Also available at the NACOTY event, it too is entertaining to drive.
General Motors says the Volt is an electric vehicle with a range-extending gasoline-powered generator.
Much to the chagrin of some journalists and pundits, we recently learned the Volt more accurately is described as a plug-in serial-hybrid EV that acts like a parallel hybrid in some driving modes.
That's tough to sell in sound bytes, but back-to-back test drives with the Leaf show the Volt powertrain, while ideologically tarnished in the minds of some purists, is far more practical.
When the Volt's battery charge is exhausted after about 40 miles (64 km), the car seamlessly transitions to a generator-powered mode. Then you can drive as long as you want without fear of being stranded.
The Volt's sticker is about $8,000 more than the Leaf. But the freedom from fear is priceless. It is an electric car you can drive to grandma's house — even if she lives in another state.
That means the Volt has a better shot than the Leaf at being more than just a fad.
Compromise isn't pretty, but sometimes it's the only way to get something done.

Berlin has rapidly made a name for itself as one of the foremost cities for tech startups to ahem, start up. In addition, to the budding companies that call the German capital home, we also have heavy hitters such as Soundcloud, Eyeem, plus satellite offices of Twitter and Etsy for good measure. With such an array of software and online products I've been asking around—dewy-eyed as a newly minted Berliner—where are all of the hardware tech companies?
One answer is that they do in fact exist, the tech hardware scene is growing tremendously particularly as wave after wave of creative and technologically inclined young people flock to the city. I first came across LUUV, a promising group of Germans building a camera stabilizer for your trek through the Bavarian Alps or skateboarding in Alexanderplatz during the international betapitch global event in Berlin.
The design philosophy of LUUV reads almost as a Design 101 case study on the importance of fast prototyping and direct user research. Fresh from a long series of pitch competitions and as new alumnus of the tech accelerator HARDWARE.co, co-founder Tim Kirchner shared his thoughts on 3D printing and skateboarding culture in Germany. In the interview below, Kirchner elaborates on LUUV's success and the hardships of bringing a product to market, setting your sights on international distribution, and building a community from the ground up.
Core77: How did you guys started with LUUV?
Tim Kirchner: The idea of LUUV goes back to one of our co-founder Felix, who was filming with cameras like the GoPro. From the beginning, he was having this problem from the beginning that when filming with it either in the hand or attached to your head, you always end up with shaky, crappy footage you don't want to show your friends. In December 2012, Felix was on a snowboarding trip to Austria, and built a little DIY stabilizer, basically a stick with a weight on it to film for fun around the cabin and in the evening. He was traveling with a friend of his who works a big media studio in Germany, when the friend was looking at the footage, he started saying, "Wow, it's really impressive and stable." That's really where the idea of LUUV was born.
What distinguishes LUUV from other stabilizers on the market?
LUUV is a whole new approach; there isn't anything like this on the market. You can operate it with one hand and it's a plug-and-play system that allows you to balance any smartphone or action camera really quickly. We call it the drop design, because of its shape, which gives it a few advantages, primarily that it's extremely stable in windy conditions. Also, it works within both an up and a down mode, meaning you can flip the entire stabilizer over to film just a few millimeters off the ground.
The LUUV wasn't really developed with a traditional design approach; it was a mixture of approaches. Using 3D printing was an important decision in the beginning as well as talking directly to our target group. We have a highly involved target group that gave us a lot of feedback on the product and we essentially developed LUUV together with them, which was really cool.
What iteration of the design is this?
I think during the crowdfunding campaign, we were at number ten or twelve but I'm not sure because every part is evolving at all times during the design process. The more current prototype is around the 15th version. We are constantly testing out changes on the FDM printer at home and if we are happy with a new version of a part, we put that right into the iteration we take to our industrial 3D printing partner for larger batches of LUUVs.
So what do you think is the most difficult thing in bringing it to market at this point? Is it marketing, funding, or figuring out how to expand?
The most difficult thing is to stay focused. The startup scene in Berlin is huge and offers a lot of influences, and a lot of distractions. When it comes to the product, the most difficult thing is when to stop and ship. As a team, we have always been a group of perfectionists. At the moment, this prototype is really, really close—but we still want it to be more perfect. Probably the most important thing for us is to find a stopping point.
Where are you now in terms of bringing LUUV to market?
So we have three big steps: getting an investor, getting a distributor, and finalizing the prototype for production. Right now it's still a prototype, almost a finished product, but it works fine and it looks great. We need to specify and modify it a little bit more for mass production. One of the biggest steps for use from the beginning, while building our company, was the decision to work with 3D printing manufacturers. The small runs of LUUVs were basically handcrafted, but now we are at the point where we need to go big.
Visit LUUV to learn more about their products and the future of the company, thanks to Tim for talking with us.

Network providers are experimenting with a variety of new business arrangements. Some are offering specialized services the guarantee higher levels of quality of service those willing to pay for it. Others are entering into strategic partnerships that allocate more bandwidth to certain sources. Interestingly, a management literature exists suggesting that both developments may simply reflect the ways that the nature of competition and innovation can be expected as markets mature. The real question is not if the nature of competition and innovation will change, but rather when and how. This theory also suggests that policymakers should be careful not to lock the Internet into any particular architecture or to reflexively regard deviations from the status quo as inherently anti-competitive. Instead, they should focus on creating regulatory structures that preserve industry participants' freedom to tussle with new solutions and to adapt to changing market conditions. Any other approach risks precluding the industry from following its natural evolutionary path.

"Football Night In America" Notes & Quotes – Week 5, And Halftime Essay
"This is the Matt Ryan that we didn't see last year, coming back from these types of mistakes." – Rodney Harrison on Ryan's success today despite initial adversity
"He is going to be a special quarterback. He's going to lead these guys to a championship. He was sensational today." – Tony Dungy on Andrew Luck
NEW YORK – October 7, 2012 – Following are highlights for Football Night in America. Bob Costas opened the show live from inside Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans where the Saints are hosting the San Diego Chargers. Costas was joined on-site by Sunday Night Football commentators Al Michaels (play-by-play) and Cris Collinsworth (analyst), and Hines Ward, the former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver, Super Bowl MVP and newest addition to NBC Sports' NFL team.
Dan Patrick co-hosted the program from Studio 8G at NBC's 30 Rockefeller Plaza studios and was joined by Football Night analysts Tony Dungy and Rodney Harrison, and NFL insiders Peter King of Sports Illustrated and Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk.com. Carolyn Manno reported from Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass., on the Broncos-Patriots game.
Following are highlights from Football Night:
ON COLTS
Collinsworth: "Andrew Luck, let's face it, what he is doing already is pretty impressive. We think back to Peyton Manning and what he did, and he didn't have a great rookie year. John Elway didn't have a great rookie year. This guy is finding a way to win games in the fourth quarter, which is the ultimate test."
Dungy: "Andrew Luck. He is going to be a special quarterback. He's going to lead these guys to a championship. He was sensational today."
King: "Just 90 minutes ago, Jim Irsay left Lucas Oil Stadium, drove two miles and delivered that game ball to Chuck Pagano."
ON PACKERS
Harrison: "You have two Pro Bowlers back there, Tramon Williams and Charles Woodson. They're not making the plays that we're used to seeing them make."
Dungy: "When they can't get pressure, I think it really shows up."
ON FALCONS
Harrison on Ryan recovering after early fumble and interception: "This is the Matt Ryan that we didn't see last year, coming back from these types of mistakes."
Dungy: "I have a bone to pick with Mike Smith. I love Matt Ryan, too, but don't forget about your running game. This was a team that was built on defense and running the ball. Get Michael Turner back involved."
ON REDSKINS
King on injury to Robert Griffin III: "He couldn't go back in, according to Mike Shanahan, who told me after the game, he (RGIII) didn't know what quarter it was and he wasn't even sure what the score was."
ON PATRIOTS
Dungy on Tom Brady: "He is really enjoying the fact that he's got (Steven) Ridley and these running backs, who are taking a lot of pressure off him. If they continue to run like this, they're going to be very, very difficult to stop."
Harrison "Not only run the ball, but get Wes Welker back involved. Make him the number one priority. That's when you have the most success."
ON 49ERS
Dungy: "When I was coaching, I always knew when we had a good team. There were teams that we played that we should beat. We didn't let them hang around; we went out there and took care of business. That's exactly what San Francisco did today."
Harrison "This defense plays well together. They have great communication. Dashon Goldson, the young free safety is tremendous. He knows how to play defense."
ON RAVENS
Harrison on Ravens defense: "Hines Ward talked about this a couple of weeks ago; he said offenses are not afraid of running directly at Ray Lewis. Ray is not really used to having these offensive linemen come up. He's used to moving sideline to sideline. The best way to utilize Ray Lewis is to blitz him. As you get older you get a little slower, and you have to keep him moving forward."
Dungy: "Today, he didn't get it done. They're going to have to get this fixed. They're 4-1, but it's not a pretty 4-1."
ON EAGLES
Michaels: "No one is playing more dramatic games than the Philadelphia Eagles."
ON PANTHERS
Patrick: "What are we seeing here with Cam Newton?"
Dungy: "You're seeing adjustments people are making. He made a lot of plays outside the pocket last year. People are keeping him in the pocket a little more."
ON SAINTS
Harrison, a former teammate of Brees, on Brees being at this moment: "I'm very surprised. He was always a smart kid. He worked extremely hard. But I'd be lying to you if I told you I thought he would be at this point (at) this time."
Michaels on Brees breaking Johnny Unitas' record: "This is a record I never thought I would see broken."
Michaels added that he was at the 48th game in 1960 at the L.A. Coliseum when the Rams stopped Johnny Unitas record for consecutive games with a touchdown pass.
DREW BREES WITH BOB COSTAS
On if he ever met Johnny Unitas: "I didn't. In fact, I went to college at Purdue from 1997-2000 and one of my goals was to win the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm award as a senior quarterback in 2000 so that I would have the opportunity to meet the Johnny Unitas. Unfortunately, I got edged out by Chris Weinke of Florida State, so I didn't get that opportunity."
On a letter from Joe Unitas, Johnny's son, that said the family was rooting for Brees: "The fact that they felt like there were a lot of similarities between the things that are important to me and that I care about would have been important to him as well. It means a lot that they would be thinking about me during this time."
On why he requested permission from the NFL to have Sean Payton, Mickey Loomis and Joe Vitt be at the game: "Because those guys are as big a part of this record as anyone. Certainly it was important to me that they at least have the opportunity to be in the building to share in what hopes to be a historic night for all of us."
On having a moment with them after the game: "I hope so. Obviously we're hoping that this record gets broken, but, regardless, that was part of my request to Commissioner Goodell, that I could have the opportunity at a pre-determined location of their choosing to be able to see Sean, Mickey, Joe, and hopefully celebrate this moment with them.
On being wanted by Sean Payton and the Saints when he was an injured free agent: "Yeah, they did. There weren't many people knocking on my door, a six-foot quarterback with a bum shoulder, but Sean Payton did believe in me, this organization did believe in me. They gave me an opportunity that nobody else was willing to give me. I'll always be indebted to them for that. One of the reasons that I work as hard as I do and want to win as bad as I do is for those who believed in me, and so many of them are in this building."
On if the Saints are 0-4 because of the suspensions: "There's no excuses. We're certainly not an 0-4 team as I look around our locker room. But, unfortunately, you are what your record says you are. We're going to hit the tipping point. I hope that it's this week that gets us on the winning track, and we're able to get hot."

ANTONIO GATES WITH BOB COSTAS
On being recruited out of high school by then-Michigan State head coach Nick Saban, who wanted him to play only football, not football and basketball: "If you asked a million kids, they all wanted to become NBA players. That was my dream at the time. I was always embracing basketball, so when I went to Michigan State. I never viewed myself as a guy going to the NFL. I was 6-3, 6-4, 245 pounds. I wanted to play basketball."
On Nick Saban trying to get him to play football: "I just remember him saying something about, 'What's the difference between buying your mother a house with $50 million instead of $70 million?' At 17, I was like, '$20 million.' His message was, whether you go to the NBA or the NFL, you can still buy your mom a house. When I played him, when he was in Miami (as head coach of the Dolphins), I just had to say thank you because…he had seen the future all along. I couldn't see it."
On being a possible Hall of Fame tight end: "You know what, I'm still in the moment. I'm still playing. It hasn't even dawned on me. I'm still a kid from Detroit who's trying to make it out, trying to make it out of the inner city, trying to support my family, trying to play football, trying to enjoy competition. And that's the way I still approach it."
Bob Costas' Halftime Essay on Andrew Luck
On a night when the greatest name in early Colts history was surpassed by Drew Brees, following a day when the greatest name in recent Colts history fell short against Brady and the Pats, the quarterback the Colts hope will someday follow them into the Hall of Fame continued to serve notice that he may, in fact, be up to the task.
After a disastrous 2-14 season without Peyton Manning, the Colts parted ways with the four-time MVP and used their No. 1 pick in the Draft to cast their lot with Stanford's Andrew Luck.
Today, down 21-3 against reigning MVP Aaron Rodgers and the Packers, Luck, who plays with the poise and awareness of a veteran, threw for nearly 400 yards and two touchdowns and ran for another score as he led his team back to a 30-27 win. It's the largest deficit overcome by the Colts since Manning brought them back from 18 down in the AFC title game against New England in January of 2007 during Indy's Super Bowl run.
So, this year's Colts are now a modest 2-2, but those two victories match last year's entire total. And but for a last minute 80-yard touchdown pass by Jacksonville two weeks ago, the Colts could very well be 3-1. And they've been competitive in every game since their opener against Chicago.
There is still a long road for Andrew Luck to travel before anyone will say that the Colts have the next Johnny Unitas or Peyton Manning. But it does appear that Indianapolis might very well have lucked into one of the NFL's next great stars.

Hello, visiting from Freckled Nest! I love how you came up with the name for your blog! I've been blogging for a few months, and I'm still having trouble falling in love with a name.
Hey! I'm visiting from Freckled Nest! I'm loving your christmas picture! So cute!
Love your Christmas photo, even if it's an oldie but goody! And our dog somehow has the largest stocking. Dogs are so spoiled!
Yes- yesterday I spent Christmas shopping, and I'm glad I did because it snowed a ton today!
Our dogs get stockings too...in fact, my husband and I don't buy for each other during the holidays but the critters *always* get presents. Hee!

3 Steps to a Successful, Data-Driven First Impression
Written by Deren Baker
Updated on June 5, 2018
While it may be a bit of a cliché to say, but it's true – you never get a second chance to make a first impression. The first interaction someone has with your brand sets the tone for your relationship. But surprisingly, many companies leave that first impression to chance; they don't take the time to delve into the available information about potential customers. Instead of getting to know what customers like or what their needs are, these companies base important decisions on assumptions.
All it takes is a little digging to extract the data and insights necessary to inform your decisions on everything from marketing to sales. In fact, 36 percent of B2C marketers use data mining and analytics to forge stronger relationships between brands and customers.
Data should drive your decisions, influence the messages you send out, and enhance the first impression people have of your brand. Beyond creating that perfect message to capture people's attention, how can you use data to make a good first impression?
Define Your Existing Customers
Before you start searching for new customers, take a look at your current ones. Get to know them – not just in terms of geography, age, or gender but also as far as their interests, needs, usage levels, behaviors, and price sensitivities are concerned. Use that information to effectively work out a plan to better communicate with them.
Looking at existing customers in these ways allows you to segment your audiences and put them into buckets for your CRM. It also helps determine what sorts of discounts to offer, how to engage further with audience members, and how to turn them into brand ambassadors.
In the early stages of your business, word of mouth is key to its growth. Make sure you're offering something worthy of being shared — whether it's entertainment, resources, data, or deals.
Get to Know Your Customers
Who you think your product's fans are may differ greatly from who they actually are. Your own log files, as well as certain platforms, can easily show you the IP addresses of your users.
While you may not be able to map those addresses to individuals, you can use an IP library and reference them to a company. If you begin to see spikes in specific verticals, you know that's an area in which to direct marketing and sales efforts to find more relevant users.
If you have a list of the email addresses or social logins people are using to interact with your brand, your marketing and sales teams can take this information, score the users for quality, and build out their pipeline.
Make Friends with Email
While there's much talk of social media eclipsing email, think again. There's a reason email is still the largest program for many companies: It works. It's direct. And while some companies use Slack or Facebook at Work for internal messaging, email is still where most members of the workforce communicate daily.
For startups with tight budgets, it's a great way to communicate directly without paying through the nose. The biggest concern is standing out in an overly crowded inbox. The more data you use to build a robust, relevant email list and craft compelling subject lines, the better your messages' odds are of being opened.
Consumers find themselves constantly bombarded by information, both wanted and unwanted. Make sure your message reaches the right audience by using the data available to you — and ensure that you're making the best first impression possible.

However, Texas basketball and Georgia's 2019 recruiting classes are separated by the slimmest of margins in the national rankings.
"The reason I picked the University of Georgia is because it's my home school", Edwards told ESPN's Paul Biancardi. Some of his highlights are absolutely incredible, showing that he can live above the rim.
Top-five senior Anthony Edwards announced his commitment to Georgia on Monday morning, becoming the Bulldogs' highest-ranked recruit in the ESPN recruiting era. He should be projected as a top three selection for the 2020 NBA Draft at the absolute worst.
Edwards lives approximately 90 minutes away from Georgia's campus and he admitted the opportunity of remaining close to his family while at college was very important to him. In addition to Edwards, the Bulldogs have two four-star commitments in Jaykwon Walton and Toumani Camara.

NEW YORK (January 18, 2016) – Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump will make a special guest appearance at the Outdoor Sportsman Group Networks' Outdoor Sportsman Awards on Thursday, January 21 at 7 p.m. PT at The Venetian Theatre in the Venetian Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. The "16th Annual Outdoor Sportsman Awards" show takes place during the Shooting, Hunting and Outdoor Trade Show (SHOT Show) and Conference on January 19-22.
Considered the Emmy Awards® of outdoor lifestyle programming, the Outdoor Sportsman Awards serve as the hallmark event to recognize outstanding programming created by Outdoor Channel and Sportsman Channel talent and production teams during the previous year. The ceremony will feature 17 awards including Fan Favorite Host(s) awards for Outdoor Channel and Sportsman Channel.
"I am honored to attend this event and meet with an important group that supports and shares my position on second amendment rights, are strong conservationists of land, water and wildlife and produce exceptional hunting and fishing shows for American sportsmen and women. My sons, Don Jr. and Eric, are excellent marksmen, avid hunters and anglers, and are also proud members of the NRA - as am I," said Trump. "I am very strong on the second amendment. Now more than ever, Americans want to feel safe and protected. Taking away our guns and limiting our freedoms is not how we 'Make America Great Again.'"


In a release that went out the media recently, Škoda has showcased a video about the Bohemian crystal work that inspires the Czech carmaker's design themes. The video is believed to be a teaser to the next concept in Škoda's 'Vision' series and is likely to be called the Vision E.
While the Vision D, Vision C and Vision S that preceded it acted as a precursor for the Octavia, Superb and the Kodiaq, the Vision E will preview a coupé crossover that is expected to take shape as the Kodiaq coupé. Earlier reports and a leaked presentation hinted that the Kodiaq coupé would be a model exclusive to China, but recent developments indicate that a global derivative is on the cards too. The latter is speculated to be based on the Volkswagen's MEB platform and will run on an all-electric drivetrain (hence the 'E' alphabet in the Vision E). The coupé form could also make it a 5-seater, unlike the 7-seater arrangement in the Kodiaq.
The concept will be unveiled at the 2017 Shanghai Auto Show, which is scheduled to be held between April 21-28, 2017.

Sanitation in the flood affected areas - Biome Solutions
Biome Solutions, a Bangalore-based company working on sustainable architecture and buildings visited some flood affected areas in Guntur to observe the situation and see the suitability of applying "Ecological Sanitation", a new approach to sanitation. (Search on India Water Portal for "Ecological sanitation" for more information on this). Their report after their travels can be seen below. A point of interest is the picture of a flooded toilet. Pit toilets which are the norm in rural areas have the disadvantage that during floods the pit below the toilet (where the human waste accumulates over time) gets flooded and the toilet becomes unusable. The faecal matter can come out of the toilet pan and create a real mess which needs to be cleaned up.

Harris County's top administrator, Judge Lina Hidalgo, said at a news conference Tuesday that the plume is moving at least 4,000 feet (1,219 meters) into the air and staying high enough so that the air quality is not cause for alarm.

Officials say it's unclear how long it will take to extinguish a fire at a Houston-area petrochemicals storage facility where a large blaze is burning several storage tanks filled with gasoline components.
Harris County Fire Marshal Laurie Christensen said at a news conference Tuesday that she doesn't know how long it will take for the fire to burn itself out.
Company officials said Tuesday that five tanks are still burning and three have burned out. Two tanks that didn't have anything in them have collapsed.


Don't bide the dust: a perfectly safe guide to sensor cleaning Sensor cleaning can be quite terrifying for a photographer to try on his or her own. Considering how much you paid for it, delving deep into your digital camera's inner sanctum is the last thing most photographers want to do. Luckily, as we'll show you below, there are safe methods of sensor cleaning, which are also quick and easy to accomplish. First, why do we need a sensor cleaning tutorial like this? Camera metering and exposure explained The first step to getting better exposures is to understand how your camera's metering system interprets a scene. In this beginner's guide we answer all the common questions and provide a handy series of cheat sheets to help you along… All images by Marcus Hawkins What does a camera meter actually do?
13 Signs You Are Deficient In Magnesium And How To Fix It Every organ in your body, and especially your muscles and heart, needs magnesium to function properly. In fact, magnesium is involved in more than 300 biochemical processes. That's a pretty tall order, so you definitely want to be sure you are getting all you require. 10 rules of photo composition (and why they work) In photography, it's not just what you shoot that counts – the way that you shoot it is crucial, too. Poor photo composition can make a fantastic subject dull, but a well-set scene can create a wonderful image from the most ordinary of situations. With that in mind, we've picked our top 10 photo composition 'rules' to show you how to transform your images, as well as offered some of our best photography tips from the experts who do it on a daily basis. Don't feel that you've got to remember every one of these laws and apply them to each photo you take. Instead, spend a little time practising each one in turn and they'll become second nature.
Camera sensor sizes explained: what you need to know about Four Thirds, 1/1.7, full-frame and APS-C format Confused about Four Thirds, 1/1.7, full-frame and APS-C format and why it matters? Don't worry, here's everything you need to know about camera sensor sizes. Sensor size is important in photography because it has an impact upon image quality. If you have two cameras with the same pixel count, but one has a physically larger sensor than the other, the one with the larger sensor will usually produce better quality images.

Go back to the days of coloring books and use them fill your drawings with color- Back-button AF: how to master this professional time-saver Avoid switching between AF modes and ensure sharp images with this clever back button focus technique. In this tutorial we'll explain why professional photographers often rely on back button AF to guarantee best results. If you watch sports photographers, they've often got a thumb hovering over the back of the camera, as well as a finger over the shutter release button. This is back-button focusing, a technique that keeps autofocus locked on a moving subject; locks focus on a stationary subject and recomposes; or keeps focus on a subject if something else enters the frame. With back-button focusing, you simply press the rear button to lock focus on your subject, take your thumb off and you'll always keep your original focus point.

As a lifelong Idaho resident, Sammie has enjoyed a life of outdoors and wide open spaces. Growing up for the first ten years of her life on a remote cattle ranch in Hells Canyon on the rugged Snake River, Sammie's childhood brought a variety of experience all while learning and grasping the ranching lifestyle that most can only dream of. The cattle ranch was filled with a lesson of hard work and showed her the beauty and mystique of the Salmon and Snake River of Idaho. Her family also owned and operated an outfitting business in Hells Canyon which afforded the opportunity to have a profound appreciation for the scenery and wildlife that Idaho has to offer.
She and her family then moved onward to the Clearwater Valley near Kooskia, ID to continue the lifestyle they cherished. If not working and taking care of chores, many days were spent horseback packing into the backcountry lakes and mountains of the Selway Bitterroot, Gospel Hump, and Frank Church Wilderness.
After graduating high school from Clearwater Valley High, Sammie continued her education at North Idaho College in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho and then at Lewis Clark State College in Lewiston, Idaho. She has worked in the insurance industry for many years. The last ten have been in crop insurance spending many hours in the fields of the Camas Prairie, Weippe Prairie and the surrounding areas of Whitman County in Washington State.
A resident of Orofino, Idaho since 2008, Sammie and her family enjoy the mountains and nearby lakes and rivers every chance they get. Having all of this in her backyard weekends are spent boating on Dworshak Reservoir, floating down the famous Clearwater River, camping and fishing on the North Fork of the Clearwater or riding Atv's on the Clearwater National Forest trails. The love of the outdoors runs deep within her heritage. Sammie is looking forward to sharing the lifestyle North Central Idaho has to offer with others for years to come.

The vodka brand is unveiling its first new packaging design in its 80-year history.
Stolichnaya vodka has redesigned its bottle and packaging for what it says is the first time in its 80-year history.
It says the new design was worked up in consultation with "some of the world's top bartenders" to ensure it had "practical enhancements".
Stolichnaya vodka was first produced in the Soviet Union in the 1940s and the brand is currently operated by the SPI Group through its Stoli sub-group.
Stoli says the design "features new elements that contemporise the brand for the millennial audience, while remaining true to Stoli's longstanding heritage as an iconic vodka pioneer".
The brand is introducing new structural and graphic designs across its range of variants.
The new bottle design has a "taller and more elegant" shape, says Stoli. It also features an embossed "Stoli" logo on the neck.
A redesigned label is being introduced, while flavoured products will now be colour-coded on the neck.
The new packaging is launching in the US in November before rolling out across the world by early 2016.


As 2006 draws to a close, most executions in ten states are effectively on hold as aspects of their capital punishment laws are examined. Two states, Illinois and New Jersey, have a formal moratorium on all executions while the viability of the death penalty is considered. In eight other states, almost all executions are being stayed as the states grapple with the lethal injection issue. Those states are Arkansas, California, Delaware, Florida, Maryland, Missouri, Ohio, and South Dakota. In these states, individual executions have been stayed and it is likely that only inmates who waive their appeals could be executed until officials approve the lethal injection process. In addition, New York's death penalty law was declared unconstitutional in 2004 and New Hampshire has no one on death row, making executions unlikely in those places, as well.
Maryland's highest court has ruled that the state's adoption of its lethal injection protocols is subject to the state's Administrative Procedures Act, and it halted all executions until the protocols are properly reviewed. This decision may require prison officials to conduct hearings on the lethal injection procedures in a forum open to the public for comment. The Maryland Court of Appeals ruling comes just days after executions in California and Florida were halted amid concerns that lethal injections were being improperly administered in those states.
The ruling from U.S. District Court Judge Jeremy Fogel (pictured) on Friday, December 15, appears intended to spur California public officials to modify the current system of putting inmates to death. Judge Fogel's order was not a final decision, but rather a "Memorandum of Intended Decision: Request for Response from Defendants." The defendants in this case are the corrections officials of the state, including, ultimately, the governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Judge Fogel makes clear that "this case is not about whether the death penalty makes sense morally or as a matter of policy." It is only about whether California's lethal-injection protocol "as actually administered in practice" violates the Eighth Amendment. After an exhaustive review, including a visit to the execution chamber in San Quentin, Judge Fogel concluded that the state's "implementation of lethal injection is broken, but it can be fixed."
Florida's governor halted all executions in the state until a commission can investigate and report what went wrong with the lethal injection of Angel Nieves Diaz on December 13. Gov. Jeb Bush issued an executive order announcing a panel of experts to make recommendations for changes to the process and said that no death warrants will be signed until modifications are adopted. Diaz's execution took more than twice as long as normal and required two rounds of the lethal chemicals. Witnesses stated that Diaz appeared to be moving, grimacing, and trying to mouth words after the first injection.
Stays have been granted in two of the three executions that had still been scheduled for December. On December 1 in Ohio, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit granted a stay of execution to Jerome Henderson, whose execution had been scheduled for December 5. Henderson was allowed to join a challenge to the state's lethal injection protocol. The 6th Circuit denied the state's request to rehear the issue, and the U.S. Supreme Court declined to lift the stay. (Associated Press, Dec. 5, 2006).
In a ruling that may put all executions on hold in the state of Kentucky, a Franklin County Circuit Judge held that the state must hold public hearings because it changed the way the state plans to carry out executions. A group of death row inmates had challenged the state's lethal injection protocol in 2004, and subsequently the state altered the mixture of drugs used and the way they would be administered without going through the necessary administrative process for such a change. Recently, the Kentucky Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the state's lethal injection process. Kentucky has 40 inmates on death row, but only two inmates have been executed since the death penalty was reinstated in 1976; only one was executed by lethal injection.

Becoming a volunteer income tax preparer can be a valuable and rewarding experience.
Most people dread doing their taxes -- it's right up there with getting a root canal. However, for those with a bit of a financial background, preparing income tax returns can be an interesting challenge, like a puzzle, to keep the mind fresh and active.
If you don't see what all the dreaded fuss of preparing taxes is about, you may be the perfect person to volunteer income tax assistance. Free income tax preparations are provided by the IRS and volunteer organizations for low-income people, the elderly and the military [source: IRS].
Maybe you used to be a paid preparer, but you've retired. Or maybe you have no experience in filing at all -- either way, volunteer income tax assistance programs will teach you how to prepare returns, often catering to your level of expertise, whether that's a simple return or a complex one with deductions and pensions to calculate.
In most cases, however, the training is less intense than what most paid preparers receive, allowing the situations to be less complicated, so don't worry if you don't know all the ins and outs of tax law. Most volunteer programs include access to training materials and workbooks for questions that might arise during the filing process -- not to mention the fact that you're most likely working with others who can help if you become stuck.
Volunteering income tax assistance is a very valuable and much-needed use of your time. You can help low-income families get the most money back that they can, or assist elderly people who might not otherwise be able to file the returns on their own. If you have the interest, these programs have the power to train you.
Read on to learn about the different volunteer income tax assistance programs and how they work.
