While seasonal influenza (flu) viruses are detected year-round in the United States, flu viruses are most common during the fall and winter. The exact timing and duration of flu seasons varies, but influenza activity often begins to increase in October. Most of the time flu activity peaks between December and February, although significant activity can last as late as May.

William Shatner to fly today Wednesday. October 13th 2921. The brief rocket flight will lift Bill and three others to the edge of space for a view of the planet. The return will see the capsule under parachutes land in the Texas desert.
The TMX project is ongoing, and the existing line will be running at capacity for the month of October 2021.

Seven percent apportionment (nominations for tariff on possible shipping), over capacity.
The volume of oil to run is at capacity, with 7 percent to be apportioned.
The energy sector around the world works on a monthly cycle. The Trans Mountain Pipeline is part of that cycle. Apportionment describes the amount of demand shippers place on the pipeline in excess of its available capacity. Here’s a step-by-step guide to the apportionment determination that’s carried out every month for the existing Trans Mountain Pipeline system.
TM today
Each month our shippers submit requests for how much petroleum (crude oil and refined products) they want to ship through the pipeline to service their customers. These requests are called ‘nominations’.
Based on shippers’ nominations, we then determine the ‘capacity’ available on the pipeline for the month. Determining pipeline capacity is complex. Capacity is affected by, among other things, the types of products that have been nominated, any pipeline system maintenance activities that will reduce flows that month and carry-over volumes that haven’t completed their transit of the pipeline by month’s end.
Based on available pipeline capacity and the volume of shipper nominations we received, we calculate apportionment using a method accepted by the Canada Energy Regulator and forming part of our tariff. A tariff includes the terms and conditions under which the service of a pipeline is offered or provided, including the tolls, the rules and regulations, and the practices relating to specific services.
If shipper nominations are less than pipeline capacity, the apportionment percentage to that destination is “zero” and all the product volumes nominated by shippers are accepted to be transported that month.
If shipper nominations exceed pipeline capacity, the apportionment is a percentage greater than zero.
Apportionment has been up to 40 percent…
The apportionment ( over capacity nominations) is sometimes up to 40 percent. This is a good indication that expansion is a good business plan.

The pipeline in use at this writing is the one that was built in 1958. The expansion project is building another line beside it.
There is a local elected officials webinar coming up. The point is to lessen the harm to people that are small users or personal users of illicit substance. The discussion is , October 13th 10 Am-12pm registration is open until October 8th.

Media tour from 2018 Burnaby Terminal Expansion plans highlighted.
The Trans Mountain expansion is on going and the Burnaby tanker port will be expanded. with tanker loads going from five a month to about 34.
Panamax Tanker in service.
The Trans Mountain oil is taken with a Panamax tanker, meaning as the name implys the ocean going ship is for operation through the panama canal.
Panamax Tankers: The panamax tankers operate in the region of Panama, especially the Panama Canal. The tanker size is designed as per the size regulations set by the Panama Canal Authority (ACP). The size aspect is very important when it comes to panamax tankers because if the size is not monitored while the tanker is being constructed, then it could pose a lot of problems while the ship is in motion. The operation of the first panamax tanker started in the year 1914 and they are still popular and useful as they were nine decades ago.

Indigenous Market to compete with.
The pipelines in Canada go north south to the US and there is no shortage of capacity to bring that Canadian product south or American north, the TMX expansion will serve the Californian and Asian market. Those two markets are Indigenous ones getting their oil from Alaska.
There is almost double the amount of doses per 100 people in Canada as compared to the world’s 80.75. The number of 1st doses for the world is north of three and a half billion. This is taking pressure off the notion that there is an inequity in giving boosters to the vulnerable in the Canadian population.
Alberta September cases 15% of all cases since beginning of outbreak
Alberta reported 45,655 cases in September. The reason is purported to be because of unrestricted opening up that was to early and a large unvaccinated population.
Get vaccinated.
Now is the time for the resistant to be vaccinated. There is a lot of access including major grocery store pharmacies.
Large populations of young returning to school.
Six Hundred thousand children are returning to school in BC this fall and smaller doses of vaccine is on the cusp of being used for them. The amount world wide is a considerable part of the population and the undertaking would go better if the unvaccinated was not a complication.
Good luck as we hope for a return to normal living.
