helping you make healthcare happen
We give you personal support and employment advice, an influential
voice and management skills to help you deliver high quality healthcare
to patients and the public.
Latest issue of Healthcare Manager is out now where we are rethinking NHS management and looking back at the MiP members' summit
Wed 25 Feb 2015
The 2014 NHS staff survey results for England were published yesterday
MiP chief executive Jon Restell said: 'The staff survey shows that despite the pressures building on everyone in the NHS, the level of support given to staff by line managers has improved. But it also shows a big drop in satisfaction with pay – a warning the Government should heed.'
Thu 04 Dec 2014
MiP and Health Service Journal challenge 'scapegoating' of NHS managers
Leading clinicians and patient campaigners have joined us to call for a change in attitude towards NHS managers during the run-up to the general election, claiming "unfair criticism is "damaging to the interests of patients."
Mon 24 Nov 2014
MiP and other NHS unions call on Hunt to treat NHS workers fairly
It's not easy for NHS workers to take strike action – but it's the only way to get our message across. The Government should listen to the independent pay review bodies and pay NHS staff a fair pay rise – they did it for other public service workers.
Wed 21 May 2014
MiP welcomes the results of the King's Fund 2014 survey of NHS leadership
'The survey shows that we need to invest urgently in the skills of line managers so they can nip problems in the bud, embrace difficult conversations and challenge poor performance' said MiP chief executive Jon Restell.
Wed 02 Apr 2014
MiP responds to Andy Burnham's comments about last year's reorganisation in England
Responding to Andy Burnham's comments today about the cost of last year's restructure, MiP chief executive Jon Restell said: 'Leadership and management is vital for high quality, safe patient care. Politicians should support the role of managers; managers are an essential part of the healthcare team caring for patients.'
Thu 13 Mar 2014
MiP comment on the Government's response to the Pay Review Body recommendations.
Speaking after the Government's announcements on NHS pay, MiP chief executive Jon Restell said:
'MiP is angry that, yet again, the Government has chosen to ignore the evidence about NHS pay and the recommendations of the independent pay review bodies. This does not constitute a sustainable pay policy.'
Fri 14 Feb 2014
MiP welcomes former chair of M&S as advisor on recruiting and retaining top talent
Speaking after the announcement that Stuart Rose will be advising on leadership in the NHS, MiP chief executive Jon Restell said: 'Managers will welcome the oxygen of attention because they have a crucial role in great patient care. MiP would welcome the opportunity to meet and share our members' experiences with him.'
Wed 20 Nov 2013
MiP calls for effective staff engagement to ensure patient safety
Speaking after the Government published its response to the Francis Report, MiP chief executive Jon Restell said: 'The Government still places too much emphasis on policing behaviour after the event, rather than on what is needed to ensure the highest standards of patient safety and compassionate care are a matter of routine in all places of care at all times.'
Mon 12 Aug 2013
MiP warns against Jeremy Hunt's proposals to deal with failing hospitals
Responding to reports that the Health Secretary wants the NHS to introduce 'superheads', MiP chief executive Jon Restell told the Daily Telegraph: 'If I was on the board of a struggling organisation, I might not be happy to take on a chief executive who was essentially doing the job on a part-time basis.'
Wed 31 Jul 2013
MiP backs NHS Employers' response to the Treasury's draft valuation directions
'The Treasury proposals unreasonably change the way in which public sector pension schemes are valued. They will lead to what NHS Employers have rightly described as 'unexpected and unjustified' outcomes for the NHS Pension Scheme,' said MiP chief executive Jon Restell.
Thu 04 Jul 2013
MiP responds to Government proposals for new criminal sanctions for failures in care
'Managers, clinicians and support staff deliver safe, compassionate and accountable care hundreds of thousands of times each day. MiP is ready to discuss anything that ensures managers are supported to maintain high standards of care in the face of rising demand and tightening budgets.' said MiP's Jon Restell
Thu 20 Jun 2013
Jon Restell speaks up for good managers
Speaking on today's Jeremy Vine show, MiP chief executive Jon Restell said that the report of the actions by the CQC will be distressing for the thousands of good managers who are working hard to improve patient safety.
Tue 26 Mar 2013
MiP comment on the Government's response to the Francis Report
'The Government is right to want to build the capacity and diversity of our top leaders, but it should focus on freeing existing managers who have the skills, values and motivation to deliver change for patients. What is needed is a sea change in management culture, not personnel.'
Thu 14 Mar 2013
Union responds to Prime Minister's announcement on very senior managers' pay in England
MiP chief executive Jon Restell said:
'We welcome the Senior Salaries Review Body's recommendations for very senior managers in NHS bodies, but the Government's refusal to accept key elements is very disappointing. Fairness should be at the heart of any pay system.'
Thu 28 Feb 2013
Survey shows important improvements, but also reveals areas of concern
'Given the turmoil in the NHS at the moment, the overall survey results are pretty good across a range of measures such as job satisfaction,' said MiP chief executive Jon Restell.
Wed 06 Feb 2013
Managers' union welcomes strong, comprehensive second report into the suffering at Mid Staffs
'We welcome this strong, comprehensive report that will resonate with MiP members in management throughout the NHS. The thrust of it reinforces the values of public service, compassion and care that lead people to work for the NHS.' said MiP chief executive Jon Restell.
Wed 05 Dec 2012
MiP welcomed today's Autumn statement in which the Chancellor dropped his proposals for local pay in the NHS in England.
'This is good news for healthcare managers,' said Jon Restell, MiP chief executive. 'We told the pay review body that there is a national market for healthcare staff, including senior managers. So we're pleased the Government is keeping the 'N' in NHS pay.'
Tue 09 Oct 2012
MiP comments on Jeremy Hunt's speech to the Conservative Party conference today
Union welcomes new health secretary's focus on culture and quality of care, but warns that it would be a mistake to single out managers and ignore other healthcare professionals over care standards, that some services are undermanaged and that approaches to accountability must be fair and open
Tue 04 Sep 2012
As the new health secretary takes the reins, MiP says he should avoid new initiatives and concentrate on engaging with staff for the good of the NHS
Congratulating him on his appointment as health secretary, MiP chief executive Jon Restell said: 'Like all new health secretaries, Jeremy Hunt must work hard to establish his credibility with NHS staff.'

MiP members vote to accept the Government's final offer for the new NHS Pension Scheme

Electronic tolling is a program offered in different states, and it allows drivers to avoid stopping at toll booths to pay tolls. The program involves using a pass that's mounted on the windshield. When a driver passes through an electronic toll booth, the technology reads the pass and adds the toll to the driver's account.Continue Reading
The drivers prepays his or her toll account, and the amount gets deducted each time the driver goes through a toll. On some interstates and expressways, there are dedicated lanes for people using electronic toll payments, and these lanes allow traffic to remain moving. Electronic tolls also help prevent road congestion and can reduce commute times for drivers.Learn more about Geography

Um. No. Obviously you're not even basically familiar with anarcho-capitalism if you don't understand that one of the basic tenets of it is that voting, or majority rule, is immoral and is not a valid way to solve social problems. Anarcho-Capitalists completely oppose it.
Without a government, corporations would be at the mercy of the consumer and the competition of the economy.
Your company will not survive if you attempt to rip off your consumer, sell a bad product, maintain dishonest policies, or any other sort of unethical activity.

Excellent answer Comrade!

Praise Lenin.
How, exactly, would this company -- which is only sustained by the profits it makes from voluntary consumers -- then successfully turn into a Fascistic/monopoly/private army and then successfully brutalize the customers that supply its income?
Would that make any sense at all? Would anyone still support this company in any conceivable way?
You don't just raise a fleet of black helicopters and hundreds of thousands of highly-trained soldiers overnight.
There's no Treasury to take over -- so they can't take over the money supply because there is no central money supply. There's no central government. There is nothing for them to seize. Where will they go? What possible profit is there to be made?
What will they do? Wade slowly through the countryside and scavenge toasters and hairdryers from houses that have long since been abandoned by their owners the moment that news of an invasion came through?
Remember, in a stateless society, you also don't know who has a weapon and who doesn't. Which means any citizen can and likely will be armed. This sort of uncertainty is an absolute nightmare for any mobilized army.
Also, what would these armed citizens -- which greatly outnumber this army -- be doing in the mean time? Playing Xbox and waiting for a new fascist state to be erected? No.
You cannot take over a stateless society. It would be the most difficult, frustrating, inefficient campaign in history. When there is no state, there is no central power structure to take over.

Armored car companies agree to protect your property from theft, using force to do so if necessary.
However, they will not attack someone for a fee.
A company engaging in such activity in a state of anarchy would be subject to retribution from other protection services.

you should clarify by saying "if it was impossible to [LEGALLY] take another person's property by threats or violent force [UNDER IMMUNITY OF THE LAW]
Anybody can take someone's property through threats or violent force, the law simply tries to prevent this, but when the law has the power to take property, it can then be abused. Government is like technology, when it falls into evil hands bad things happen.
as in, it is literally impossible.
as in, it can not be done.
as in, there's just no way man.

People create things.
Government assumes control of those things - it does not create.
What creation it does is done through the use of funds expropriated by force and threats of force.

This is the absolute truth; I saw the title of this topic on the side panel of ATS's home page. Then I read the description about threats or violent force, and I said to myself, "I bet you Mnemeth1 created that topic". I click on it.. and I was correct.
Mnemeth1, don't these topics get old? Nearly all your topics are about the same thing. Did you really need to make another one? Isn't the words on your avatar enough?

Nicaragua is often overlooked as a holiday destination by neighbouring Costa Rica, which is great news for cyclists looking to gain a fascinating insight into a vibrant and beautiful country away from large scale tourism developments. On a bike trip of Nicaragua you can discover charming Spanish colonial towns, active volcanoes and pristine tropical rainforests. There is a variety of terrain to explore on two wheels from the idyllic Corn Islands lazing in the Caribbean sun to steep climbs in the jungle-clad northern mountains bordering Honduras.
With virtually no traffic and a traditional rural community that has changed little over the centuries, the volcanic island of Ometepe is an excellent place to cycle amid the peace and quiet of surrounding Lake Nicaragua. Rich farmland skirts the flanks of Ometepe and wherever you cycle you can see the perfect volcanic cone of Concepcion Volcano that dominates the island.
While eastern Nicaragua is covered by impenetrable rainforest, the central highlands that run parallel to the Pacific coast are punctuated by a chain of active volcanoes. As you ride your bike in these relatively cooler climes it is easy to see why the Spanish colonial settlers favoured the beautiful setting of Granada and Leon over the hot and humid lowlands. You can cycle between the national parks that protect volcanoes such as Masaya and Mombacho and spend the night sampling a local rum cocktail and admiring the colonial architecture.

"The current crisis has uncovered the deficiencies in the construction of EMU (European monetary union) mercilessly," was the uncharacteristically frank admission from Angela Merkel and Nicholas Sarkozy in a joint letter to the European Council President on the eve of the December 9th summit. What is typically exasperating about this telling diagnosis of the euro's ills is that the treatment that the heads of government recommended at the close of the summit -- namely tougher budgetary rules with fines -- neither addresses the deficiencies in the construction of EMU which the leaders referred to, nor offers any prescription for ameliorating the severity of the current crisis.
This yawning gap between rhetoric and reality, between identifying the seriousness of the crisis and delivering an adequate solution, has plagued the euro zone for the last two years as it has wrestled unsuccessfully with the Greek debt crisis. Indeed, the failure of the December 9th summit to produce a "breakthrough of sufficient size and scope to fully address the euro zone's financial problems" was one of the reasons cited by Standard & Poors in its recent decision to downgrade over half of the bloc's 17 countries, including France.
In Germany, the country most capable of providing the political leadership and financial muscle to support the euro and reassure sovereign bond holders, it seems that political elites and the media are far more enthralled with the scandal which has engulfed the country's president over his business dealings. Perhaps a sense of debt crisis ennui has set in but it seems that the Germans are doing all that they can to ignore the undisciplined euro crisis elephant sitting in their Wohnzimmer.
Of course, anyone who has travelled on the Berlin subway will be familiar with how masterful Germans are at ignoring awkward or embarrassing situations, such as the often deranged people who get on and off the trains at regular intervals. However noisy the interlopers get, Berlin's commuters just sit quietly reading their books, seemingly oblivious to the gesticulating demented individual standing in front of them.
For Germany, the euro crisis is the loud crazy person on the Berlin subway. The Germans, who have already provided guarantees and direct support to the European Financial Stability Facility worth billions of euros, keep shelling out money to profligate Peloponnesians and sun-soaked southern Europeans, each time hoping that they won't get back on the train. But it's always been too little money, given too late to do any good. Now, however, the euro train is coming to a dangerous junction and it is the Greeks who yet again are showing every indication of derailing the train before they get kicked off for not buying a ticket.
Although overshadowed by news of S&P's downgrade of France, the far bigger story last Friday was the collapse of talks between Greece and its private creditors to agree a voluntary reduction (or haircut) in the amount of money that Athens must repay. An agreed outcome to these discussions is a precondition for Greece receiving enough money to repay 14.5 billion euros of bond redemptions due in late March, otherwise a Greek default looms large.
The exact effects of such a default are difficult to predict. Some German lawmakers have been wistfully contemplating the prospect of getting the debt monkey off their shoulders if the Greeks were to leave the euro. Greece is an isolated case, they argue, and such an event would not trigger bank runs or a calamitous exit from the single currency of other PIIGS countries such as Portugal, Spain, Ireland and Italy.The markets are less sanguine, and not just about the damaging effects of a Greek default, but about the survival of the euro itself. Italian five-year credit-default swap contracts, which insure against defaults by governments,
Unfortunately, these optimistic, yet dogmatic German policymakers are in plentiful supply. As the crisis has shifted from the periphery of the euro zone to the core, rather than raising their game and taking incisive action to boost market confidence in the single currency, German policymakers have been found wanting. Such is their state of denial that one of them, the country's foreign minister Guido Westerwelle, even spoke of the damage being done to market confidence by the ratings agencies' decisions.
In fact, it was the German suggestion in 2010 that holders of Greek debt should not expect to be repaid in full that first created uncertainty in the bond market. This was the first time that a chink appeared in the notion of zero risk European sovereign debt, leaving bond investors asking how risky their other holdings of European government debt might be. The damage was done.
Unlike Herr Westerwelle, Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne sees the current problems as stemming from a failure on the part of the euro zone to "provide confidence to the market that they will stand behind their own currency." The S&P downgrades have, thus far, had relatively little effect on the markets, since they largely reflect what investors already know about the inadequacy of the German response to the crisis.
Chancellor Merkel and her policymakers have been acting on the basis that Greece is an isolated case. Yet every reactive decision and feeble measure by Berlin increases the likelihood of a Greek tragedy becoming a Europe-wide one. That will be one elephant and one crazy person that the Germans won't be able to ignore so easily.

Weekly C.D.F Test
There are strong reasons for even the world's most ingenious minds to use the phrase "back to basics" from time to time. It reflects the inevitable nature of fundamental concepts to be a better achiever. We at Narayana e-Techno Schools also believe in making our students review Concepts, Definitions and Formulae (C.D.F) so that they can master them and follow classes with renewed ease and enthusiasm.
To this end, a test is conducted every Saturday for forty minutes in Mathematics, Biology, Physics and Chemistry (MPC). In addition to pure sciences, students' knowledge on social sciences and languages is also given due importance in what we call Formative and Summative tests conducted on non-MPC subjects like English, Hindi, the state's regional language and Social Studies.

The State of Michigan is a standout amongst the most picked states that individuals need to live in. It is for the most part due to the decent climate, the superb shorelines, and obviously the amicable grins of people living in here. Memphis is thought to be the best place to live in this state, which is the reason there had been such a variety of Memphis real estate operators and organizations around.
Being a Memphis Real Estate proficient, you may be confronted with an extreme level of rivalry in the Memphis Housing Market. What experienced financial specialists do is that they pick result driven and cost profitable promoting arrangements. Spend per snap is without further ado the perfect known and most beneficial development. Since its presentation, no different types of the ad have possessed the capacity to test its prosperity and capacity. Other than being costs compelling, this one will spare a generous measure of hard-earned money. It is because, with this type of advertising, the proprietor does not need to spend pointlessly, enduring the apprehension of being neglected and stayed away from. It realizes extraordinary results with its profitable methodology towards the objective business sector.
If there should be an occurrence of the most famous types of Memphis Real Estate publicizing, you enlist an office, and after at some point, you'll find your pockets turned out, Regardless of whether or not it turns in any benefit in the enterprise. It feels a flat out wastage of time to spend so especially subsidies on something that at last does not spend off. Getting a promoting framework which addresses the neighborhood gathering of people could produce the best ad for your organization. The perfect publicizing cure is the one that costs you less. If, some viewer taps on the advertisement and opens to see your posting, which is the point at which, you'll be charged.
There had been a feeling that getting a home in Memphis is somewhat troublesome since the costs of households and terrains are quite high. Frequently, individuals simply buy an area around there, get a home and consider this as a business venture. All things considered, this can be valid since the properties around there might be unlikely for a normal family to live in. You can, in any case, move into this spot in Michigan, and live in an awesome home. The mystery is finding a Memphis real estate operator that can help you locate the ideal home for your requirements that will fit your financial plan. In actuality, many families living in this city and even the primary populace of Memphis get greater and greater because of the gigantic number of properties and housing ventures. One motivation behind why individuals live here is that the schools, the business foundations, and even recreation exercises can be discovered simply adjacent. Everything that a man needs can be adequately found in Memphis, and there is no compelling reason to look further. If you anticipate purchasing a property in SD, Michigan, and here are some tips for you to be helped to remember:
- When looking for a house to buy in Memphis Housing Market, whether it is an organization or a specialist, try to check the past records. You can ask for the past properties that they have sold and maybe visit.
- Take a gander at the surroundings is there a school adjacent? What about the transportation? Is there a transport stop or a taxi stop some place for you to ride on? What about the area? Knowing these things will make it less demanding for you to choose whether the value that you are going to pay for that property is justified, despite all the trouble.

D.C. Mayor Anthony A. Williams kicked off his sandals, stripped off his Eastern High School T-shirt and then executed a neat cannonball into the aqua waters of the public pool at Anacostia Park.
Children cheered and mayoral aides applauded the jump, intended to herald the arrival of the pool season as well as other summery city offerings, including summer camp, summer school and summer jobs.
But yesterday's dive also called attention to a different joy of the season: summer travel.
Williams (D) originally planned his cannonball jump for today. But late Tuesday, aides scrambled to switch the event after Williams decided to travel to Southern California for tomorrow's swearing-in of Antonio Villaraigosa as mayor of Los Angeles.
With the two-day trip, the mayor will have spent all or part of 57 days out of the city so far this year -- nearly one in three. That means Williams's 2005 travel schedule has been busier than any since his 2002 reelection. In 2003, the mayor spent all or part of 107 days out of the city, or about 29 percent. Last year, his trips ate up 97 days, or about one in four.
So far this year, the mayor has visited Beijing, London and Puerto Rico. And there are more trips to come, including Hawaii, Europe and perhaps another brief jaunt to Beijing.
The heavy travel schedule was not unexpected. Williams is serving this year as president of the National League of Cities, and most of the trips have had some connection to his duties. In Los Angeles, for example, Williams said he will be representing the league, which pays for his trips, as Villaraigosa becomes the first Hispanic to lead that city in more than 100 years.
Williams has been trying to make up for his absences by stuffing his days at home full of public events, such as ribbon-cuttings, recreation center openings and yesterday's poolside news conference. But his travel schedule has nonetheless drawn criticism from D.C. Council members Adrian M. Fenty (D-Ward 4) and Vincent B. Orange Sr. (D-Ward 5), who are campaigning to succeed him in 2006.
The mayor has not said whether he will run for a third term. But he has been working overtime to call attention to the achievements of his administration, focusing yesterday on improved summer services for children.
The D.C. Department of Parks and Recreation expects to serve more than 5,000 children in summer camps this year, Williams told reporters, noting that some slots are still available. Nine late-night teen centers will stay open until midnight, offering "structured activities" for older youths. And a variety of summer classes, camps and programs will offer a combined total of more than 1.3 million meals to disadvantaged children during the summer school recess, a 12 percent increase over last year.
"Isn't that good?" the mayor said.
Williams also touted progress in the city's summer jobs program, which has identified 11,397 placements and registered 12,493 youths. Because about 20 percent of those who register for a job will fail to show up or will drop out of the program before the summer is over, the mayor said, "all youth who want to work will be placed."
Gregory Irish, director of the Department of Employment Services, offered even more good news: 600 of the placements are being provided by private businesses, a 100 percent increase over last year. The federal government is offering 308 positions, Irish said, while the D.C. government is picking up 2,252. The vast majority of summer job seekers will be placed with District agencies or nonprofit organizations, he said.
Information on any of the city's summer programs is available at 202-463-6211 or www.summeryouthprogram.dc.gov. And the city is mailing the D.C. Summer Fun guide to residents.

Toyota back to World No.1
The first century of the automobile was quite simple: Ford was world leader until the mid-1920s and then General Motors took over for the next 75 years.
Now it is like a music chart. Toyota got to No.1 in 2008, only to lose it again with the recall issue in the USA and then the Japanese earthquake and tsunami in 2011. However, it has surpassed both GM and VW in the first half of this year.
Toyota's worldwide sales rose 33.7% to 4.97m vehicles, according to industry website www.just-auto.com, , its highest ever half-year figure. GM sold 4.67m units in the first half, up 3%, and Volkswagen 4.45m, up 9%.
However, VW is still widely expected to become world No.1 within five years. It is very strong in China and it would have grown much faster this year if it had not been for the European crisis. For any European-based company to grow at all in the current climate is quite an achievement.
Nonetheless, Toyota has given notice that it will not surrender easily. Toyota is very strong in Asia outside China and also in North America. It is weak in Europe, but that does not matter at present, as Europe itself is such a weak market. VW is weak in North America, so the question is whether VW can strengthen in the USA quicker than Toyota can strengthen in Europe, and the answer to that is "probably".

Chicago Grill [Chicken Quesadilla]
THRIVE Lunch today was at the newly opened second location of Chicago Grill on Ballard Street in Appleton. The original Chicago Grill location is in downtown Appleton at 110 South Locust Street. It is really great to see a local restaurant growing here in the Fox Valley. Anyways, having been to the restaurant that previously occupied the space (Greek Cafe), I was curious to try the newly opened Chicago/Mediterranean style grill, having never tried the original location downtown.
Hummus or Chicken Parmesan or Quesadilla?
There was a bit of a line when I walked in at around 11:15, but it gave me plenty of time to look through the menu. There were maybe 10-15 tables in the place, which were filled with familiar THRIVE faces. The layout and overall interior didn't change much from the previous restaurant. A few things on the menu caught my attention, such as the Chicken Parmesan (chicken breast, provolone cheese, Parmesan, oregano pizza sauce, sautéed onions and mushrooms) and the Hummus (a delicious blend of ground chick peas and tahini topped with imported olive oil and spices served with pita bread). I decided on the Chicken Quesadilla, which I thought was a wrap (it was under the 'wrap' section of the menu), but turned out to be a traditional quesadilla.
Taking into consideration the number of people that were in the restaurant, my food came out only 5-10 minutes after I ordered, which was good, because I was getting hungry watching everyone around me eat. The quesadilla consisted of a tomato basil tortilla grilled with sautéed onions & mushrooms, cheese and chicken. It also came with a side of lettuce, tomato and ranch. The cheese was melted perfectly and the mushrooms and onions really added good flavor to the toasty quesadilla. The chicken was a bit salty, but it was still very good. It was a generous portion and I was glad I decided to go without the side of french fries. It was a good price too, only $5.99 for the large meal. I will probably return to try additional items on the menu.

text: At first, there was only .com, .net, .org and a few others, like .gov or .edu. Each country also had its own TLD (top level domain), .fr for france or .it for Italy. Some small countries like Tonga or Laos even sold their TLD to make smart domain names (come.to/whatever, california.la). Then there were the .biz, .tv, .info extensions, along with a few others. Europe also created the .eu extension, the first regional TLD. Now Asia is catching up, and is proud to announce the creation of .asia, a new TLD which will be run by a non profit-making company based in Hong Kong. It will be set up in three phases, first for government websites, then for registered trademarks, and then for private companies.

It is recommended that you allow cookies. More information
Please contact us to discuss your requirements if you require one of the following:
In some cases it is necessary for the incoming electrical supply to be de-energised to allow an electrical installer to safely work on a customer's wiring and equipment safely. You can arrange for the supply to be de-energised and re-energised by calling the customer's Electricity Supplier. The Electricity Supplier's name, address and telephone number is shown on the customer's electricity bill. If you have any difficulty arranging for this to be carried out please contact us.
We provide PME (protective multiple earthing) facilities as standard at the vast majority of new electricity connections. In some cases we can also install a PME earthing terminal at existing non-PME installations, although this does depend on the design of our electricity system and on the type of installation.
We can install a 2 pole or 4 pole isolation switch that may be operated by the customer's electrical installer, allowing them to de-energise and re-energise the customers' installation themselves.
Where an external meter box is fitted, this is owned (and should be maintained) by the customer. If a meter box door has been damaged and needs replacement, we may make a charge for this work.
Fixed charges apply to each of the above standard tasks. For a list of our current charges please click here.
The electrical characteristics of an installation have to be considered when designing a new - or modifying an existing - electrical system. The following information is often required:
The following standard voltages apply:
The voltage should remain within +10% and –6% of these figures.
Large commercial or industrial installations are often connected at high voltage. A number of different standard voltages are in use within Western Power Distribution's area, including:
The voltage should remain within ± 6% of the nominal connection voltage, with the exception of 132000V connections where the tolerance is ± 10%.
The number of phases provided at low voltage connections will vary depending on the capacity of connection and the nature of our electricity network. The following arrangements are typical:
Where more than one phase is provided load must be balanced, as far as possible, between each of the phases.
Three phases are provided at high voltage connections.
The statutory limit for frequency is 50 Hertz ± 1%.
The maximum prospective short circuit current is used to determine the short circuit rating requirement of electrical equipment.
The following values can be assumed at low voltage connections:
We can provide maximum prospective short circuit current information for high voltage connections upon request.
The maximum earth fault loop impedance is used to calculate the available earth fault current within an installation connected at low voltage (below 1000V).
The following values are typical for low voltage installations:
Protective multiple earthing (TN-C-S)
0.35 ohms*
Cable sheath earth / Separate continuous earth wire (TN-S)
0.8 ohms*
Direct earth (TT)
Dependent on resistance of the customer's earth electrode. Values exceeding 100 ohms can apply.
* These values are sometimes exceeded where the connection is derived from a long overhead line network or from a small pole mounted transformer.
The type and rating of our fuse or circuit breaker installed at the point of connection can be provided on request. In some cases it will be necessary for us to carry out a site check, and to de-energise the supply for a short time in order to check the fuse size.
The three most common low voltage arrangements are described as follows.
Protective multiple earthing (PME)
PME, known as TN-C-S within BS7671 (Requirements for Electrical Installations, IEE Wiring Regulations) is the most common form of earthing provided at new installations. We utilise a single conductor for neutral and earthing functions and provide an earth terminal at the customer's installation. The customer's earthing may be connected to this terminal providing all relevant requirements within BS7671 and National Engineering Recommendation G12 are satisfied.
In some cases we are unable to provide PME facilities, either due to the nature of the distribution system or due to the type of installation itself.
Cable sheath earthing / Separate continuous earth wire
Cable sheath earthing and separate continuous earth wire arrangements are referred to as TN-S within BS7671 and are often available within older properties, or occasionally where PME facilities are unavailable. In such cases we utilise separate conductors for neutral and earthing functions and provide an earthing terminal at the customer's installation. The customer's earthing may be connected to this terminal providing all relevant requirements within BS7671 are satisfied.
Direct earthing
Direct earthing, known at TT within BS7671 is common within older properties and is also used where PME cannot be provided. In this case we do not provide an earth terminal and customers installation must include its own earth electrode system (buried earth rods and conductor).
In older properties direct earthing is often provided by bonding the protective conductors to an incoming metal water pipe, owned and operated by the local water company. Whilst a metal water pipe can act as a reasonable earthing system, it is likely that this will, at some stage in the future, be replaced by plastic piping. For this reason a separate dedicated earthing system should also be provided.
Where direct earthing is employed the installation normally has to be protected by a residual current device (RCD) in order to comply with BS7671.
Information on earthing at high voltage connections can be provided upon request.

1 teaspoon honey
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Place all ingredients in blender. Blend until smooth. Serve immediately. Can be refrigerated for short period of time, but will lose consistency as fruit thaws.
Strawberry Frozen Yogurt Squares
1 can (14 oz) fat-free sweetened condensed milk, divided
Non-stick cooking spray
1 cup Post Grape-Nuts cereal
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of ground cloves
1 package (10 oz) frozen strawberries
3 cups fat free strawberry yogurt (I prefer Chobani)
Measure 1 cup of sweetened condensed milk; set aside. Line 8x8 baking pan with aluminum foil so that it overlaps the pan. Spray with non-stick cooking spray. In a medium sized bowl, combine cereal, cinnamon, cloves, and remainder of sweetened condensed milk. Stir until well mixed and spread evenly onto the bottom of the baking pan. Place in freezer.
Place strawberries and yogurt into blender. Cover and blend. Add 1 cup of sweetened condensed milk and blend until smooth. Pour this mixture over the chilled cereal crust. Smooth to the edge of the pan. Freeze 8 hours or until firm.
To serve, use edges of the foil to remove from the pan. Let thaw 5-10 minutes. Cut into squares and serve.
My co-workers and I also discussed ways to make these treats into something a little less breakfast like. The consensus on the Orange Cream Chiller was to add either 1 oz of light rum, peach schnapps (do they still make that?), or 4 oz of champagne. For the Strawberry Frozen Yogurt Squares, the thought was to serve with a drizzle of strawberry-rhubarb compote and a dollop of whipped cream.
For those of you who insist on partaking in the spirits of beach and backyard celebrations over this unGodly hot Independence Day, please remember that hydration is your friend. Alcohol and water sports don't mix well. Booze and fireworks might be a 4th of July tradition, but you look better with a face and all of your digits and limbs. Play safe and get a designated driver if you plan to be driving.
Enjoy the mid-week break and Happy Independence Day to all my US friends here and abroad.

Here's a snapshot of what's being shared the most at Wordpress.
The very nature of WordPress is founded in the ideal that it's a full resource solution with the vast majority of its options being free of charge. This does not mean there aren't legitimate coupons for many of its plugins. There are websites like Envira Gallery, WPBeginner and Themify that offer coupons for their add-ons. Many do offer free solutions, but they may also offer for-pay options.
As you become more comfortable with WordPress, you probably will want more sophisticated solutions that may require payment. Coupons can be used for third-party websites that create plugins and themes, but the WordPress site itself does not have a section to input a coupon code.
Almost 75 million people all over the globe have discovered the value and ease of WordPress.
WordPress is an open-source and powerful content management system (CMS) based on MySQL and PHP. Used to create blogs, websites and even apps, WordPress has become an invaluable tool for many developers for not only its ever-evolving sophistication but also because, despite its international popularity, it remains free.
WordPress is constantly being improved upon by a devoted community. To date, there are somewhere in the vicinity of 30,000 add-ons, making the platform one of the most customizable solutions a developer will ever find for building all types of web content.
WordPress, like any coding system such as Medium or Ghost, has a learning curve, but it is noted for being a platform that will be accessible to persons of all skill levels that want to build websites. There are many places to learn WordPress. One can take classes online or at a school. Options include both fee-based and free opportunities. There is a multitude of books at the library, bookstore or Amazon. If you lean towards learning visually, you can access a broad range of video content.
The best place to start learning WordPress may be the official site. Here you'll find a comprehensive library of material that starts from step one and goes on to teach how to use add-ons, and adapting the solution to your work style. You can learn how to customize and enhance a site, pick a theme, develop posts, create menus and web pages, integrate multimedia features and how to update blogs via mobile devices. There is also a glossary for getting a handle on related language. The best part about using WordPress's site for learning is all the resources are completely free.
Besides its free website building, WordPress also offers incredibly affordable packages. The Personal Package is only a few dollars a month. Features including using your own domain and being ad free. The Premium Package comes to a little over $100 annually and provides greater customization, easy monetization and greater capability for utilizing video and audio. The yearly Business plan is excellent for startups and small businesses with a limited budget and resources. The plan has live courses, live chat support, and access to Google Analytics and WordPress's library of premium themes.
Not surprisingly, thanks to its affordability, WordPress has become a go-to for developers, individuals and businesses of all types. However, the price alone is not the only reason WordPress has become the number one solution for many looking to manage their online presence.
WordPress has an intuitive interface. Time spent adding and configuring pages, images, blog posts, video and other elements becomes almost a subconscious act, allowing users to focus on creating content instead of coding.
A lot of content development solutions require resources like FTP software or an HTML editor. WordPress lets you create blog post, new pages, text formatting, uploading and more without needing additional tools.
Even the non-developer can update their WordPress site without needing a designer. The solution allows complete control of practically every aspect of your web presence.
Blogging is built-in and easy to integrate. Users can set up email subscriptions, RSS feeds, commenting and auto uploads of posts to other web pages.
Extending WordPress's functionality is completely dependent on what you want it to do. Add features like video galleries, calendars, a Facebook fan box or Twitter feed. BackupBuddy allows auto backups. W3 Total Cache optimizes site speed and search engine rankings. OptinMonster creates optin forms and popups, enhancing conversions. The vast majority of plugins are free. Check out this video of the Top 7 Must Have WordPress Plugins.
WordPress websites can grow with your goals. A site can have hundreds of thousands of pages of content without compromising performance.
Browser based, WordPress lets you manage your web content from any computer connected to the Internet.
An administrator can arrange for many users to access the website through varying access levels and capabilities tailored to each. This means one individual can work on blogs while another manages event schedules without impacting other elements.
Search engines love the fact that WordPress design is simple and allows for clean indexing. Its ease of use allows even the novice to meta tag descriptions, titles, keywords and other optimizations, greatly enhancing SEO precision.
With its user-friendly features, thousands of resources for customizing the platform to exacting needs and a vibrant, supportive community looking to keep the solution relevant and affordable, if you are looking to develop web content, WordPress is where you want to turn. It promises flexibility, durability and, of course, affordability. It allows even the most inexperienced developer to create professional and visually appealing web content.

text: I've been trying to experience the Indonesian stock market movement and this was the first stock ever that I bought. Got it at Rp500 the first time (December '10) for just 4 lot and added 9 lot more until now, with average price around Rp640. The uptrend was held at 750 and retrace back to 650 at the moment, which is near the support trendline. The breaking of this trendline and 620 area suggest a double top reversal and could bring the stock back to Rp500 level. In the opposite perspective, it is also a good time to buy, hoping it will break Rp750 resistance.

NFL Team Report - Miami Dolphins - INSIDE SLANT
The Miami Dolphins conducted the first 30 minutes of Monday's two-hour OTA (Organized Team Activities) under hazy, smoky conditions because of a nearby wildfire.
The Sports Xchange
NFL Team Report - Miami Dolphins - INSIDE SLANT
The Miami Dolphins conducted the first 30 minutes of Monday's two-hour OTA (Organized Team Activities) under hazy, smoky conditions because of a nearby wildfire.
"It felt a little weird at first," said Pro-Bowl cornerback Brent Grimes, who suffers from asthma, "but as it went on we got used to it."
Coach Joe Philbin seemed pleased with the session.
"I thought we had a good practice," he said. "We did goal line. We put that in, (and did) two-point plays, and did another little red-zone installation. As I said to the team, we're basically just about ready to play a game. At the end of the week we'll simulate an overtime. I'm real pleased with the progress we're seeing on the field."
The defense appeared to be slightly ahead of the offense as they got their hands on lots of passes in the red-zone session. Safety/nickel back Jimmy Wilson broke up one pass intended for wide receiver Mike Wallace in the end zone.
But a few plays later, quarterback Ryan Tannehill threw a strike to Wallace, who beat strong safety Reshad Jones for a touchdown.
The defense also saw success when it utilized a few blitz packages with defensive end Cam Wake beating rookie right tackle Ja'Wuan James for a sack on one play.
One thing that remains a bit of a stunner is running back Knowshon Moreno, the free-agent signee from Denver who amassed more than 1,500 yards from scrimmage last season. Moreno was working largely with the third- and fourth-team offense when the Dolphins split up and worked on two fields. The first- and second-team offense was on one end of the field, and the others, including Moreno, were the other end of the field.
That means running back Lamar Miller, last year's starter who rushed for 709 yards, remains the starter. Well, that's the way it seems.
"We don't really have starters right now," coach Joe Philbin said.
Philbin added it's insignificant who runs with the first team right now.
"Those other guys have jumped in there and gotten first-team reps," he said of running backs Daniel Thomas and Mike Gillislee. "It doesn't really matter what end of the field they're on to me, what field they're on when we go two fields."
Defensive tackle Jared Odrick (unknown ailment) remains sidelined and wide receiver Brandon Gibson (recovering from knee surgery) remains very limited.
The Dolphins have their three-day mini-camp next week.
NFL Team Report - Miami Dolphins - NOTES, QUOTES
--Defensive coordinator Kevin Coyle, apparently poised for any attacks on his defense, said the bottom line for his unit is keeping the opponent out of the end zone.
"We've been very good at that over a two-year period," he said. "We finished seventh in 2012, eighth in 2013 (in points allowed). There's only four teams in the league that have been in the top eight -- San Francisco, Seattle, Cincinnati and us. We've been third in the AFC for two consecutive years in scoring defense.
"The bottom line is keeping people out of the end zone, giving yourself an opportunity to win ... When it's all said and done, if we keep people from scoring points, we feel that that's the job of the defense and really that's what it is. We've been doing a good job of that."
Regardless, the Dolphins are sticking with their experiment of switching strong-side Koa Misi to middle linebacker, and middle linebacker Dannell Ellerbe to strong-side linebacker in an effort to improve the run defense.
--Running back Marcus Thigpen is lining up at slot receiver in an interesting experiment. Coach Joe Philbin hinted there might not be room for Thigpen at running back.
"I think you guys with your astute football observation, you'll probably notice we haven't been in a lot of two-back formations," Philbin said. "We're just taking a look at getting the best players opportunities to get their hands on the football and utilize the people that we have in the most opportune fashion we can. It's really no more complicated than that."
Actually, it is. Running back is crowded among Knowshon Moreno, Lamar Miller, Daniel Thomas, Mike Gillislee and others. The Dolphins might only keep four running backs.
At wide receiver, there's starters Mike Wallace, Brian Hartline and Brandon Gibson along with Rishard Matthews, Jarvis Landry, Armon Binns and others. The Dolphins might only keep five receivers.
Thigpen also serves as the kickoff and punt returner, but there's a chance Landry gets a look at those jobs.
--Free safety Louis Delmas, the projected starter, didn't practice every day with Detroit last season because of his aching knees. But Delmas said that hasn't been a problem so far.
"I'm great," he said. "I haven't missed a day of training, haven't missed a day of practice. I'm feeling good right now, the best I've felt my last four years of football. So I'm very excited about this year."
Delmas said one thing has been the key to prolonging his career.

"LUCK IS what happens when preparation meets opportunity," said the Roman philosopher Seneca.
- DESPITE the infamous blackout out at the Super Bowl, people are still talking about Beyonce's performance. Some even blame her electric sexuality as the cause
of the outage! (Conspiracy theorists insist it was really Madonna's doing, but something went wrong. The power was supposed to go out during Beyonce's performance!)
But seriously, just as Madonna's epic Super Bowl performance last year was the kickoff to her insanely successful world tour, so it is with Beyonce. Her tour begins in April, and is expected to bring in $100 million more than her last round of concerts.
I am predicting Beyonce will be 2013's woman of the year. Other than beauty and talent, this is a really, really nice girl, a super human being. She works so hard. She always wants to do the right thing. People who interview her come away charmed by her sincerity and her aspirations.
She yearns for sophisticated culture, like being photographed in world museums looking at Impressionists paintings. They are so pretty, she says demurely. Watch Beyonce go from better to better. Her complainers from PETA not withstanding. I'd say if she buttoned down and got a tutored education while ruling the world she will become a world beater lasting star. Even in films. (Her movie stardom was supposed to happen with Dreamgirls but good as she was, Jennifer Hudson had the famously meaty role as Effie, which won her an Oscar. Not that Hudson's movie career is exactly red-hot.)Oh, and on Feb. 12th HBO's documentary, Beyonce: Life Is but a Dream premieres at the Ziegfeld Theatre. To be accurate, it is really Beyonce's documentary. Says so right at the top -- "A Film by Beyonce Knowles." And she has a new CD coming out, her first in two years. As I said, 2013 is gonna be Miss Knowles' year.
this is
All Jennifer needs is an education to add to her talent, sex appeal and her good willing heart. I know some you will say: "Oh, sure. She has a gazillion bucks, a loving husband and a beautiful baby. She really needs 'education.'" I don't think she "needs" it. She's not dumb, by any means. My feeling is that she wants it. Wants to be more than the powerhouse she already is.
- WELL, IT IS A JOY THAT THE very picky Director's Guild selected Ben Affleck as best for his film Argo, which, if you haven't seen it, has more tension, comedy, tragedy and suspense than anything else on film this year. Most directors, who are the only ones who get to vote, want to win this award more than the Oscar for best director. The Academy Awards on Feb. 24th will be up the creek without a paddle if Argo should win best picture and they slighted even nominating Mr. Affleck. He is very deserving.
- ONE OF my alert correspondents, TC Bill wants to give me Rob Kardashian socks for my birthday. On the whole I'd rather have a socks check for Literacy Partners, but, nevermind. Kardashian socks would definitely match getting a birthday cake shaped like an armadillo, as I did the other day at Michaels restaurant. (I am suggesting that Michaels media cafe should put the entire Liz Smith lunch on their running menu. People would love it! I did. And so did my select guests some of whom had never eaten collard greens, pickled okra, cornbread, or armadillo.)
But TC did have one good idea. Why, he asks, doesn't someone bring back the show What's My Line? created by the late Mark Goodson? This is a free tip to someone I admire, Jeff Zucker at CNN. Audiences these days love celebrities; they love masked celebrities as questioners, they love guessing. And the prize could be big either for the guest or for their charities. I just happened to have dinner the other eve with Mr. Goodson's last great wife, Suzanne. She nursed him through his final illness. He left this world with an oath.
But even if I didn't approve of him I spoke at his memorial and so maybe Suzanne can guide TC and me in bringing back What's My Line? (This would be such an easy and inexpensive show to produce. and top celebrities might say yes if people were guessing who they were and not asking all those nasty questions like when did you go into rehab, how much is your habit, and have you ever had sex with a priest or a nun?)
I LOVE it when readers ask me intricate questions or send intricate ideas beyond my ken. Here is Mitchell McGuire: "Now that SAG (Screen Actors Guild) has merged with AFTRA (American Federation of TV & Radio Artists) what about a fund-raising gala for the latter? They have a foundation similar to SAG's. They have gala fundraisers. First of which was produced by the late 'Living Landmark' Martin Segal and myself. There is a chance the two funds will merge on galas but that won't happen soon. Just want to keep you in the loop." OK, I -- Liz -- belong to both unions. I believe in unions. I voted for this merger. But I don't know the answer. Anybody?
Whoopi Goldberg, who is always doing something for somebody in need, is asking us to Save the Date for the Public Prep Network Third Annual "Namesake Luncheon" honoring Whoopi and Barclays. It happens April 30 at the Metropolitan Club 1 East 60th street. Call 212 -380-8973.And I am asking you to save the cocktail hour on April 9th because Whoopi and I will be sitting down together to raise a little scratch for the Maria Droste agency. This group helps people who need psychiatric help. Last year I chatted with Bette Midler and she gave me some fascinating answers. I had never understood Hawaii before. This year I will ask Whoopi to go blonde and ask her why she is all sweetness and light on The View. What? You think she isn't all sweetness and light? Hmmmm. Call 212 -889-4042 for tickets. This will be fun.
