World Backup Day is a very special day, the focus is to showcase the significance of the role of data in our everyday life. It is important to take regular backups so that you don’t miss out on anything crucial.  It is celebrated on the 31st of March each year.

Backup is nothing but a second copy of your file and it is kept in a safe place like a computer, smartphone or even cloud. The backup device can also be an external hard device. Usually, people do not get time to take a backup of their important documents, file, video, pictures regularly. Hence, World Backup Day ensures your precious data is well safe without any damage.

Back up is more then computers its people and projects .

BC hydro has an alliance of contractors for energy projects .They are promising a simplification of upgrades.

Planning any construction or infrastructure upgrade project can be a daunting task. But when you’re implementing new and unfamiliar systems or technologies on an incentive-driven project, it can get especially challenging. So who can you trust to do the work not just properly – but to a standard that satisfies all the building and incentive requirements? Well, if it’s a project to increase your organization’s energy efficiency, then the BC Hydro Alliance of Energy Professionals is here to help.

BC hydro

Hydro has done similar things before where they endorsed contractors for insulation and power smart products. They have a good record for that sort of thing.

Use the force…

The utility is using the catch phrase Use the force to refer to the energy professional they are endorsing.

Crown Corporation

BC hydro is a crown corporation that operates on a not for profit basis. It is one of the basic entities of a mixed economy and is mandated to supply consumers power at the best price possible. As a not for profit they are not allowed to retain earnings from year to year and must return those values to lower hydro costs.

Over time BC Hydro has been subject to water licence fee increases by the province. its something to be watched for. With holding taxes from many employees and consumption taxes contribute greatly to the coffers of government.

BC the best place on Earth

BC is a stable vibrant place to live it has one of the lowest death rates in Canada and quality of life is known around the world .

Amor De Cosmos

The second premier of BC was William A Smith who changed his name to lover of the universe. He was also a member of parliament for Victoria and wanted to head of the executive of both the province and country. He was considered to be an iconoclastic personality and set a reputation for the province to be a place of eccentric leaders. He also earned the credit for being the Father of BCs confederation when it joined Canada in 1871.

The label of eccentric was broken in the dialogue of the press with the election of the Vancouver mayor Gordon Campbell as the BC Premier, it has remained that way since
