Sara's Story
Before joining GM Talent Match, Sara, 21, Oldham, was struggling with her confidence and communication skills. She wanted to be more independent so she had been volunteering in a local charity shop. She had also joined the Prince's Trust programme to get motivated, but she really wanted to work out what direction she wanted her life to go in.
Since joining GM Talent Match, Sara has grabbed onto any opportunity that has come her way with both hands to help her get an idea of what type of work she might be interested in doing. She started a work placement at a local care home, as she wanted to help people; attended communication workshops, jobs fairs and chats with employers; and volunteered at ESOL sessions in Rochdale.
While in Rochdale, Sara heard about a theatre group for young people. She has always had a passion for drama, went along to support the young people in their sessions and is still doing this once a week.
The turning point for Sara came in February when she joined the Youth Panel to help shape the Greater Manchester Talent Match programme.
Over the past year, Sara has come out of her shell. Her Talent Coach, Samantha Powers, says, 'Sara has worked so hard this year and I am so proud of the progress that she has made. She is a pleasure to work with and her exuberant and enthusiastic personality is contagious. I really think she will be an asset to any company as everything she does is at 110%.'
Sara says of her experiences, 'Talent Match has helped me explore new opportunities. I loved my time at Edge Theatre Café and I think it was the best place to do work experience that I have ever been. The Youth Panel is awesome and is teaching me lots of new skills.'
Over the course of the last year, Sara is showing more confidence, better communication and organisation sills and an improved ability to deal with the unexpected.

Read More Here on How to Build a Successful Private Practice
Every now and then, people are trying to build private practice. One needs to realize that private practice is actually business and not a hobby. Being a business, a lot of things are put into combination for it to flourish. Effective marketing, proper mindset and the right attitude is a required combination. A key factor in setting a private practice is finances. One of the most essential factors to a successful practice is financial literacy. What one needs is a healthy relationship with money and know how to manage it. A lot of things that relate to money are there and they include adjusting thoughts and beliefs around money.
The three piece pie accounting section is something that is in accounting. The meaning of this is that the income that one gets should be divided into three sections which should go into different bank accounts. The first is the tax pie and it requires that the income that is deposited here should not be touched until the tax paying time. In a business one needs to pay bills and therefore the second section of the pie is for paying bills. The bills that one will definitely have to pay in private practice are; water and electricity bills, services such as cleaning bills and salaries of course. The personal account is the third section of the pie. Some of the money can be left after paying taxes and this can be taken to the second section of the pie which is paying bills. After the bills have been paid, some of the money which might be left can be taken to the personal account. The three piece pie section is very important because it ensures that a person does not lag behind in paying taxes or other bills. Mingling of personal and professional funds is also restricted by it.
In money matters one should know when to save and when to invest as you are going to learn more from this page. Since one can find themselves spending even what they are supposed to save, they should always have a balance between saving and spending. Some people at times tend to over-save and this means that they cling on the money so much to an extent of forgetting some of their needs and limiting their chances of growth. There is fear for some people of not having enough. In a private practice, healthy financial management will ensure that there is enough to spend and save. For the good management of the finances, the three piece pie accounting section can assure a person. Unhealthy money mindset can lead someone to overspend or over-save and you can click here to learn more about this company which offers these finance advice.

My Sunday Anime Trip last night was marred slightly by blurred vision, resulting perhaps from the haze irritating my eye-balls? Or something more dire (which I will have to get looked at by specialists soon :( …), which had me miss One Punch Man! Will sort that out soon this week, or by next Sunday …. meanwhile, I managed to devour World Trigger, Heavy Object, Young Black Jack and Iron Blooded Orphans (and chosen not to follow Shingeki! Kyojin Chuugakkou as I did last week).
#WorldTrigger Ep49 begins a new storyline, featuring new Neighbor monsters, and new Neighbors (last glimpsed at new anime sequence) … #SPOILER: in what would be a "chase" happening now on Earth from opposing Neighbors!
And as well, the anime enters their 2nd year of broadcast, which is essentially awesome cool as most anime completes a season in under 20eps (10 / 12?), and yet WT has gone straightup to Ep49! CONGRATS! And as well looking forward to finding out what happens next!
[ Individual images HERE on FB ]
Following the history lesson in Ep1, the beginning of Ep2 launches into an intense battle between two Objects, and they are not mucking about with the destruction level too! All tees are effin' brutal (exact phrase on my mind as I watched it unfold) with Death, Destruction, and Sacrifice! Loving the drama of it all!
And just when I thought it was all pathos and destruction, the boob situation and remark suddenly happened without warning, and my "faith" in this #anime is restored hahahaha
Good and fun episode, and I am really liking this series so far! #HeavyObject has become a weekly MUST-WATCH for me!
[ Individual images HERE on FB ]
The opening track of #YoungBlackJack reminded me of an "idol drama" ... So would this make a "idol anime"? out of YBJ? LOL
Looks like Hazama might be in a bit of trouble this episode, with his bare-bodied and hand-cuffed! If this were a live-action show, folks might say "unnecessary" bare torso, but I call "fan service" LOL
#SPOILER AHEAD: Essentially Ep2 sees our titular doctor-in-training being "asked" to do a heart transplant operation, to which a surprise twist left the doctor intact with his integrity. Nice job, this!
Matching the "idol drama" vibe, there is just waaaay much "drama" in each episode so far! A wool lot of pathos squeezed out of stories, and poignant exclamations and statements … Needs to be viewed to understand what I mean. Nothing too "tiring" (yet), just needs some getting used to, methinks :p
[ Individual images HERE on FB ]
And while I have my personal hesitations to continue forth with Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans, the visuals are something to enjoy, I have to admit … here's the full 2nd episode, clean and crisp! ENJOY!
PLOT: "The adults of CGS flee in the face of Gjallarhorn's attack, using Mikazuki and the other children as decoys. Gathering the children who have been left behind, Orga decides to fight back against Gjallarhorn, and puts a certain plan into motion."

Manufacturing organizations shall recognize sustainability as a business occasion to capitalize on, rather than an undesirable pressing situation. Still, empirical evidence shows that this opportunity is hard to capture and communicate in global strategic decisions, through planning by tactical management, to daily operational activities. This paper systematically reviews the modeling challenges at the crossroad of value and sustainability decisions making, spotlighting methods and tools proposed in literature to link sustainability to customer value creation at strategic, tactical and operational level. While statistical results show that the topic of sustainability and value modeling is trending in literature, findings from content analysis reveal that recent attempts to promote a value-based view in the sustainability discussion remain at a strategic level, with most of the proposed indicators being suited for managerial decision-making. The lack of support at operational level points to the opportunity of cross-pollinating sustainability research with value-centered methodologies originating from the aerospace sector. The Value Driven Design framework is proposed as main hub from which to derive models supporting engineers and technology developers in the identification of win-win-win situations, where sustainable improvements are aligned with business advantages.
Sustainability is increasingly recognized as a key innovation capability in the organization. However, it is not always evident for manufacturers how sustainability targets shall be "mixed and matched" with more traditional objectives—such as quality, time, cost, and performances—when designing and developing solutions. The emergence of "servitization" and product-service systems (PSS) further emphasizes the need for making thoughtful trade-offs between technical aspects, business strategies, and environmental benefits of a design. The objective of this paper is to investigate how multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) models shall be applied to down-select PSS concepts from a value perspective, by considering sustainability as one of the attributes of a design contributing to the overall value of a solution. Emerging from the findings of a multiple case study in the aerospace and construction sector, the paper presents a five-step iterative process to support decision making for sustainable PSS design, which was further applied to design an electrical load carrier. The findings show that the proposed approach creates a "hub" where argumentations related to "value" and "sustainability" of PSS solution concepts can be systematically captured in a way that supports the discussion on the appropriate quantification strategy.
Interest in food systems sustainability is growing, but progress toward them is slow. This research focuses on three interrelated challenges that hinder progress. First, prevailing visions lack a concrete definition of sustainability. Second, global level conceptions fail to guide responses at the local level. Third, these deficiencies may lead to conflicting initiatives for addressing sustainable food systems at the community level that slow collective progress. The purpose of this article is to (1) describe the development of a framework for assessing food system sustainability which accommodates local-level measurement in the context of broader national and global scale measures; and (2) to propose a process that supports community determinacy over localized progress toward sustainable food systems. Using a modified Delphi Inquiry process, we engaged a diverse, global panel of experts in describing "success" with respect to sustainable food systems, today's reality, and identifying key indicators for tracking progress towards success. They were asked to consider scale during the process in order to explore locally relevant themes. Data were analyzed using the Framework for Strategic Sustainable Development (FSSD) to facilitate a comprehensive and systematic exploration of key themes and indicators. Key results include a framework of indicator themes that are anchored in a concrete definition of sustainability, stable at national and global scales while remaining flexible at the local scale to accommodate contextual needs. We also propose a process for facilitating community-level planning for food system sustainability that utilizes this indicator framework. The proposed process is based on insights from the research results, as well as from previous research and experience applying the FSSD at a community level; it bears promise for future work to support communities to determine their own pathways, while contributing to a more coordinated whole. © 2017 by the author.
In an increasingly mobile world, transience is becoming the norm. Sustainable community food initiatives, therefore, must organise to withstand high turnover of volunteers. Using a case study of the United Kingdom's National Union of Students' food growing scheme in universities, this paper aims to map the causes and effects of short-term, irregular, and low participation using a causal loop diagram to understand how to mitigate their negative impacts and improve participation. Data was gathered through interviews, workshops, photovoice, a fishbowl discussion, and a reflective diary. We found three amplifying feedback loops increasing short-term, irregular and low participation, their causes, and their impacts. These feedback loops were precariously buffered by a continuous in-flow of new potential participants each academic year. We also found that the stakeholders of these gardens conceptualised time akin to both temporary and permanent organisations, and these differing conceptualisations were a source of tension. Furthermore, although 'organisational amnesia' was a problem, the gardens were still learningful spaces. We recommend both upstream and downstream solutions are implemented to buffer the impacts of transience and suggest that university and students' union staff could play a crucial and subtle supporting role.
Sustainability related challenges in mobility planning have been recognised at the international level and the urgency for change has been widely discussed among scholars. However, there seems to be no general agreement on the best ways of pursuing such change. To seek answers to the question of how to pursue change, this study analysed the development of the broad research fields of mobility, urban planning and transitions, and the overlap of these bodies of literature. Both academic and non-academic literatures were covered. By means of a systematic literature review, as well as bibliometric studies, several prominent research themes that address change from planning and transition perspectives were identified. Moreover, these themes describe different viewpoints and challenges in mobility planning. These include planning and policy for sustainable mobility and accessibility, backcasting and scenario planning, indicators in planning, modes of transport, decision-making, studies of global North and global South, as well as overarching themes of equity, equality and justice, roles of institutions, and co-production of knowledge. Strategies for staying up to date with these fields were also identified. In the literature covered, the temporal dimension in mobility planning was described in four different ways, but little was found about how accelerated transitions towards sustainable mobility can be achieved. Further knowledge gaps were identified in relation to behavioural change, policy development, institutionalisation of planning capacity and social sustainability in mobility planning. This created an outline for possible future studies.
Many of the most important business and economic risks are directly linked to environmental and social issues. This includes both threats and opportunities, not only in relation to reputation, which is often mentioned in this context, but, even more importantly, in relation to innovation capability and legislative change on inevitably more and more sustainability-driven markets. It is, however, unclear through which mechanisms such sustainability risks currently affect companies and how they can be systematically identified and managed. Based on the Framework for Strategic Sustainable Development, this study investigates the dynamics and implications of society's sustainability transition from a company risk management perspective. In addition, exploratory and descriptive studies were conducted at two large product innovation companies to identify current risk management practices and preconditions for sustainability integration. The results reveal that a society moving closer towards a collapse of environmental and social systems leads to increasing sustainability-related threats for unsustainable businesses and increasing opportunities for sustainable businesses. Also, risk management is found to be a promising way for maneuvering in a smart zone between being too passive and being too pro-active in relation to sustainable innovation.The study participants at the case companies were knowledgeable about risk management in general but were largely unfamiliar with risks associated with sustainability and no processes or support tools exist to work systematically with such risks. Key steps to accomplishing an integration of a strategic sustainability perspective into risk management are proposed as: (i) identifying the effects of sustainability issues on internal and external stakeholder value; (ii) actively including sustainability in objective setting and cascading objectives across the levels of the organizational hierarchy; and (iii) developing concrete support for identifying, assessing, and managing economic sustainability risks. Thereby, companies can enhance their competitiveness while providing leadership in the sustainability transition.
Companies, striving towards an effective and systematic integration of a strategic sustainability perspective in product innovation, need to treat the implementation of necessary processes and tools, as well as their continuous improvement, as a project in itself. An efficient way to measure the current sustainability implementation level in the organization, as well as guidance for progression, is required. To meet this need, a novel self-assessment was developed, which provides companies with a tool to assess and visualize their current capabilities in relation to key elements for successful sustainability integration in the product innovation process. It includes a scale of different sustainability implementation levels to support building a roadmap for systematic implementation, and to measure progress over time. This research is based on results from previous descriptive work within the area of sustainable product development and learning from applying strategic and tactical assessment tools for eco-design and sustainability maturity. Besides the contribution to practice, this study also contributes to knowledge by specifying detailed aspects for each key element that must be considered to guide sustainability integration. Also, insights from applying different existing tools in real cases are provided. The newly-developed self-assessment method was applied and validated at two case companies. Independent and continuous use of it by the companies beyond this particular study indicate the practical value of the method.
Electrification of the transport sector has been pointed out as a key factor for tackling some of today's main challenges, such as global warming, air pollution, and eco-system degradation. While numerous studies have investigated the potential of electrifying passenger transport, less focus has been on how road freight transport could be powered in a sustainable future. This study looks at Electric Road Systems (ERS) in comparison to the current diesel system. The Framework for Strategic Sustainable Development was used to assess whether ERS could be a stepping stone on the way towards sustainability. Strategic life-cycle assessment was applied, scanning each life-cycle phase for violations against basic sustainability principles. Resulting sustainability "hot spots" were quantified with traditional life-cycle assessment. The results show that, if powered by renewable energy, ERS have a potential to decrease the environmental impact of freight transport considerably. Environmental payback times of less than five years are achievable if freight traffic volumes are sufficiently high. However, some severe violations against sustainability principles were identified. Still, ERS could prove to be a valuable part of the solution, as they drastically decrease the need for large batteries with high cost and sustainability impact, thereby catalyzing electrification and the transition towards sustainable freight transport. © 2018 by the authors.

Becoming a musician is easier than ever nowadays. Equipment is pretty easy to acquire. Music software is available in abundance. It's even easy to distribute your music and start making money as soon as possible.
But it's not so easy to figure out what music genre you might want to play. While you might think playing a music style is as simple as picking your favorite music genre, it's not. You might like listening to, let's say, alternative rock style tunes, but you might prefer playing pop rock instead. In this article, we're going to review a few tips to help you learn what music style or genre you really want to play, so you can start playing as soon as possible.
Find Your Musical Style or Genre ~ Our Tips
Music manifests in people differently. Some people are naturally attuned to playing one type of music, while others are multi-talented with eclectic tastes. But the best thing about music is that there's something out there for everybody.
Music styles or genres have pretty definitive sounds. But how you choose to play any particular style reflects your interpretation of that style, which ends up being a sound that's uniquely yours. Just look at famous musicians and singers—they took the sound of their genre and made that sound theirs.
To find your musical style or genre, try:
Following your passion and musical influences. Remember: the best musicians take music styles and morph its definitive sound into their own. Not only that, using your inspiration from your influences serves as a great starting point if you want to attract fans who might like that sound.
Finding the courage to succeed in your genre. The music world is cutthroat, but that doesn't mean you should give up if you're not getting results. It takes time to push forward as a musician. Take one step at a time and treat your experiences – even when you do succeed – as one big learning process.
Working music into your life. It takes hard work and practice to become a successful musician, so don't put off making music if you do have the time to commit. Put aside lots of time for music, even if you don't have enough time to play, so you'll always be learning something each day.
Listening to your influences—inside and outside your genre. You can't make good music without knowing your stuff. Listen to as much music inside your genre as you can. Don't forget to try completely new music, too—you might find something that you like!
Building your persona. (Use great Media) If you're not particularly outgoing, pretend to be. Or, in other words, work on your music persona. If you feel confident when playing music, you'll push yourself to perform better and, ultimately, produce great tunes.
Practicing, practicing and more practicing. You can't become a good musician without practice. If you have the time to practice, go ahead and try. Don't be afraid to fail or experiment, either. That's the fun of finding your musical style.

Mad Max Review
It can be hard these days to find a good game worth playing, and games can be a little bit pricey. That is why players look for game reviews, like this Mad Max Review. When first deciding on whether or not to play Mad Max, players should realize that there is a good reason as to why this game is sometimes a lot like Mad Max: Fury Road and the reason is that it is a canonical prequel which puts the player up against Scabrous Scrotus. Scabrous Scrotus is the son of the movie's Immortan Joe. The wasteland of the game is considered by players to be very greasy and dusty, a location in which there are mechanical monsters fighting against the beauty that is the desert of the game. In this game, players will play as Max, who is an unlucky wanderer who comes with the past that is terribly troubled.
Players are able to charge across the open roads in their search for the ultimate redemption, fighting against those that will choose to get in their way. Of course, in this wasteland, driving is the center of life. Also, driving is the basis for some of the greatest moments to have come out of this game. Players will find that the mixture of the fascinating world and the amazing car battles are what holds the whole game together and that mixture is what keeps the game is a joy. However, the shallow ground fighting that takes place in the game and also some other issues seem to make this game crash of the road.
In the beginning of Mad Max, players will find that they are in wrong place at a very bad time, when they are attacked by Scrotus and some of his gang, a gang that is composed of war boys. Scrotus and his gang will steal the car from the player and make them have to go with not a lot to their name. However, players get lucky after this, when they cross the paths of a mechanic that is seemingly Gollum-like who goes by Chumbucket (like in Spongebob). This mechanic becomes convinced that the player is a hero that he heard of in a legend, the hero's name being Angel, and the player will soon realize that the mechanic is very smart when it comes to using wrenches and a harpoon, which does make him seem like the best companion to have within the violent wasteland.
Players will get the chance to go up against some tribes that are very desperate with the help of Chumbucket and they will also be able to attack the forces of Scrotus. While players are doing all of this during Mad Max, they will also be taking on some interesting contracts and start hunting for parts that will go along with their new car, which has already been named Magnum Opus. The main goal of the game is for the player to build a car that is able to go across the void which has been named Plains of Silence. The hope is that once the player reaches their destination, they will find the freedom they have been looking for or find an unwelcome death.
Final Thoughts on Mad Max
Mad Max is a crazy, but thrilling game to play. There really is a great story behind the game, and while it may have its faults, the game is pretty amazing to play.

Saturday wins again !!
Saturday is without a doubt the best day of the week. ALL the kids are smart and easy to teach. It is no coincidence that there are no adults today. Chikako's class is about to move up in difficulty and Tomoe and Kaori just had their best class ever.
Yuko will still be #1 next month but Kanuka is now #2 and doing great. Chikako moves from #10 to #8 and Saki and Honoka are new on the list. ( a full list in the next post ). The BIG BBQ birthday beach party is coming very soon and I can't wait!! Wooo Hooo!!!

The "Old Skool" internet.
I made a few tweaks with the lesson structure a few months back and it's bearing fruit. Instead of making phonics/reading a part of a beginners lesson...I made it a BIG part and made a mad push to get them reading as quick as possible. Now they are getting busy with the dictionaries and I could not be more thrilled. Its like an O.G. Internet in that it opens a whole new world to them and their ability to communicate has made serious leaps.
I don't like them mumbling in Japanese or looking at their hands or otherwise struggling. They can just say "wait please" and bust out the book and ask/tell me what they want to say in perfect English. I love it....they love it...
It's a win/win

3 Birthdays Cheeseburger action!!!
Well, 3 girls in one of my best classes have Birthdays in June. So of course that means cheeseburgers must be consumed. My staunch belief that every kid loves cheeseburgers seems to hold water. The smiles are the proof. The school is rockin' and I'm having a blast. I look forward to next week and have welcomed 2 new students to the fold....welcome!!

Chikako gets seat #1 & Chinami kills 99 Zombies!!
Well Chikako now has 1st position (in her class). In my School students are seated so that the best student is on the far left with #2 being second from left etc etc..
This is so when I ask my questions the best student catches first and the last student has the most time to watch, listen, and prepare. It has worked excellent for the last 3 years. Chikako was #3....then she was #2 and now she takes the BIG seat and she is the youngest in her class!! I am very happy that she tries so hard.
In other news....
Chinami killed 99 zombies!! she is my official zombie slayer!!

9>>>>8 lucky!!
Well I had 9 classes with one private cancel making it 8 classes today. Lucky for me cuz I was running on fumes near the end. I saw a student (J.H.) throw the middle finger today as a joke and I used the opportunity to teach them that its something not to point in the wrong direction.....unless they want a beating?? They don't so it was a valuable bit of info to pass along to them. After that I taught them the long distance version and took a pic. /report

A new week...
Another week has started and here's a few pics from day 1. Notice the kids in the 3rd pic. They are trying very hard to smile but they are a bit too scared to make it believable. When students first join my school there is a period of adjustment when the LAW is being laid down. If they don't bring their "A" game I'm gonna light them up!! but if they are trying their best....well then it's all cherry!!
These boys are gettin' lit up a bit right now but they are gettin' the hang of things. Kenji (bottom pic far left) is REAL good and I'm lucky to catch him as a new student. /report

Well another week is in the books, and it was the best week in the schools short history!! ALL the classes are moving ahead of schedule and several are moving into a straight conversation type class at the same time. Today's classes had a bit of writing in their notebooks ( I HATE GRAMMAR ) but writing questions down so they can ask me later is very important so it cannot be avoided.....oh well.
Saki was alone today but I could focus on her and see her improvement clearly so it was a good thing for her and me.
On another note..
Some students/classes pictures do not appear on my blog because they have asked me not too?? So if you don't see someone?...that's why. ( party pics capture everyone so you might find them in there.

The top 10 class 6/07
This is an awesome class that is getting funner and funner to teach! They are 8-11 and reading, writing (sans the odd grammatical error) is really good. Honoka (far left) is only 8 and she will be a top 10'er soon and Chiharu (second from left) is #9 on the top 10 individual list.Yuki is the second girl from the right and Hinano who is half cut out of the pic (sorry Hinano!) is on the far right. Great kids = Great class = Very happy teacher!!!

A "Wakata" moment.
This is Takuma and Honoka they are 8 and 9? (Shun is absent). And they have just figured out how to read and are now ( with the help of their dictionaries) telling me all about their days!! So the class has officially moved to a true conversation class. It's one of those moments to feel proud as a teacher.

New top 10!!
The new "Top Ten" and Yuko is still #1. Saki almost made it this time and if she keeps improving she will definitely be on it next month. Chikako is new to the list and I am very happy with her improvement. She is an excellent student!
I should have done this a lot sooner. The kids are motivated to get on the list and by making it a age v.s. ability thing it gives everyone a fair shot. I find myself paying even more attention to individual ability and improvement to make sure the list is always an accurate one so in that sense it helps me as well.

Friday Girls
This is becoming one of my best classes. Kanuka is a very very smart girl with an excellent command of English. The other 2 girls are catching up quickly. They are studying an adult lesson with the only difference being I move just a bit slower than with adults.

In this interview with Ayobami Adedinni and Gbenga Diya, the Executive Secretary, Association of Nigerian Electricity Distributors (ANED), Mr. Sunday Oduntan speaks on policy inconsistency, liquidity crisis and sundry issues. Excerpts
The situation of power supply in the country has gone from bad to worse in recent weeks, what is the cause?
First of all concerning the issue of electricity in Nigeria, we need to understand where we were, where we are now, where we are supposed to be and why we are where we are. The major problem has been our level of enlightenment. Looking at this country, we have a population of about 180million people, at the end of the day the rule of thumb everywhere in the world states that we should generate 1000mw of electricity per 1million people. Transferred to the case of Nigeria, for Nigeria to have an uninterrupted power supply everywhere no matter the community will need about 180,000mw but that is a tall order with the way we are currently in the country and even in the next 10 years.
What we need now is how we can generate electricity that would be enough for those who are currently on the grid, the target then was about 20,000mw not that it is enough but it will go a very long way, a lot of people will have 24 hours electricity. February last year was the first time in the history of this country since independence; we had 5074 mw which means we are still very far away from the expected. After that achievement in which the present government did. Following that in February the bombings of the gas pipelines in the Niger Delta continued thereby reducing generation level from 5074mw to 2000mw and even at a point to less than 2000mw. That has been the major issue because there are gas constraints to the power generating plants. Bearing it in mind that out of 26 power plants; 23 of them depend on gas, 3 of them are hydro; Jebba, Kanji and Shiroro damns. All those three put together cannot even give us up to one quarter of what we need. This means we need the three and also the 23.
When most of the 23 cannot get gas the power plant to urban shut down and they cannot run their turbine , when they cannot run their turbine there cannot be power. Once they cannot generate electricity, nothing for the transmission companies to transmit to the distribution companies. Every day we keep on enlightening the people of Nigeria on various media that we can only give what we have, we are the distributors. Any power that is not generated cannot be transmitted or distributed to our teeming customers. Our own is to keep apologizing to Nigerians, the obeying and honest Nigerians who doesn't steal Energy.
We know there are so many Nigerians who are simply thieves, all they do is to steal Energy and yet they want Energy. You cannot eat your cake and have it, you want there to be power but you do not want to pay for that same power that you want. Though we still have a lot of honest Nigerians who are willing, ready and able to pay for the energy they consume. I hereby on behalf of the industry apologize to them for this erratic power supply and I want to assure you that efforts are being made by the government and all the stakeholders to do something about the situation.
What are the efforts that are being made?
The problem of gas constraints, the bombing issue is a government issue and I know the vice president who just visited the Niger Delta is making efforts to resolve the issue, so strategically if they are able to convince the leaders in that region to prevail on their citizens who engage in bombing facilities to stop the act that will ultimately improve power supply because there will be gas for the turbines and that will help the situation.
The issue of Liquidity crisis is also another big issue that should be looked into. Right now the liquidity short fall is standing at about N1trillion as at the end of December it was N980billion. All these things are leverages that ought to have accrued to the industry but were not there and there are many reasons for that; including regulatory rate, fluctuations, regulatory body inconsistency (NERC). I am talking about between 2013 and now. This is not about a person or government; it is not about Mr. Jonathan or Mr. Buhari. Even we the operators we have a lot of things to improve on; our customer services, yes, we have open call centers all over the country but we need to do more. In terms of helping one before clearing and all sort of things. We have reach the bottleneck of the system but the liquidity crisis is making it very difficult, rather than placing faults we carry on our normal business. On the issue of gas, gas suppliers are not part of power sector, they are mainly business men; talking about Shell, Oando and the IOCs, they are business men who sell gas to us and also have other option to sell it outside the country. Gas is sold at accumulated dollar, when they sell to the generation company they calculate it at the equivalent rate of dollar even though they receive naira from them but it is at the rate of that dollar.
Now, this is how we are being affected: generation companies prepare their own invoice based on their own cost of production. Their cost will go up when cost of naira to dollar go up. Essentially naira was N197 to $1 when our current tariff was fixed on the 6th of December 2015, by June 2016 naira was N294 to $1, by December 2016 official rate it was N305. What that means is that the price when it was fixed it was predicated upon an exchange rate of N197 to $1. Also based on generation, first it was 5000mw soon it was increased to 7000mw. Remember that an increase in generation leads to an increase in revenue for the discos and the whole industry. Discos collect revenue on behalf of the value chain (generation, transmission and distribution) if they cannot get enough supply to distribute that means there will be low revenue and it will affect the whole industry. What I am now saying is that because of the exchange rate, the gas suppliers due to the cost of selling to the generation companies.
The generation companies' cost of producing power has gone up, and then they will prepare their invoice and send it to us down below the chain the distribution company. So that cost has gone up, for instance I buy at N68 and I am now allowed only to sell at N27. We are not saying they should reduce or increase tariff that is the job of our regulator but we have to be realistic. If we are buying something at N68 and we are selling at N27 there is a short fall between N27 and N68, somebody have to pick up the price, remember when we are talking about profit here, we are talking about cost recovery, we are talking about simple term economist call cost of production. There is also a lot of merging debt, we owe the market because we are not able to pay for all the electricity that we received because people are not paying, people are also stealing a chunk of the energy received.
We have government; we have ministries, department and agencies owing us. Efforts are being made to pay but as at this morning they are yet to pay. I will continue to talk on this until it is paid. When it is paid I will be the first person to go to the press and say thank God they have paid their debt and when they only pay part of the debt I will say they have only pay part. I am talking about the debt of over N100 billion from about Nov 1, 2013 till date. We have the Ikeja cantonment that have never paid for light and there they are, they use light and they are not paying and all the military installations in Nigeria everywhere. It is a sad thing for the country; well I really pity you the coming generations.
What we are saying is that if they are taking something and not paying for it, electricity is a product like any other product. It is not different from other products. Distributors can only be able to distribute where there is produce and supply. It is a simple analogy but people don't want to hear that, all they keep saying is they want light. I too I want light, I am a customer of a DISCO like everybody else. I suffer in the same faith but the reality is that we are not generating enough and there so many reasons why we are not generating enough.
How are you coping with the recent directives by NERC that you should meter all customers before end of February
We are doing it, we are trying our best.
How realistic is it?
That is left for us to see, let the deadline come. We have no problem with that. What I can tell you is that when we get to the deadline then we will talk. I have been in the industry for a while. I also want to emphasize this; it is in our own interest to meter all our customers not just Maximum Demand customers even all other customers. But we should be realistic and not play politics with power supply. We discos are in the business of power supply, those who are in the politics of power supply can play their politics. I am talking about metering customers not only the MDs, metering all Nigerians. The current metering gap is so wide following the neglect of over 60years; we cannot do that just in three years. That is not realistic.
How far about the debt owed DISCOs by MDAs?
Efforts are being made to pay the debts.
What are the efforts being made to eradicate meter bypass?
If you check the national dailies you will see that we have been making awareness on it, even on the radio stations. We have been moving around to enlighten people on energy conservation.
The Acting Chairman of NERC said the tariff plan is not realistic, what do you have to say to this?
He was also the one that said the business is not sustainable unless there is an increase in tariff, now last week he said people need to be careful. Tony Akah is my personal friend; I will not criticize my personal friend in public. I can criticize an institution, NERC is an institution. It is beyond Tony. Just like when you talk about power and you are now blaming Fashola. It is beyond Fashola, the man is hard working, very passionate, doing all his best. There are a lot of things that work that need to be taken care of. Until those things are done, we cannot get there. I leave you to look at Tony's message to the National Assembly members when they were on oversight function. I would not say more than that.
Can you shed more light on policy inconsistency?
For example, sometimes in 2015 before the election NEC decide to freeze the tariff plan for the R2. R2 class is the one majority of Nigerians use. It is a residential tariff for private residents. That was done with a political motive to assist the former Presidential ambition to win the election. There is nowhere in the world where a regulator will step into the political arena dancing macabre dance to fulfill the aspiration of his masters and then destroy a sector for that reason. That is regulatory inconsistency.
Another one is that the current tariff was brought in late December 2015 but they said it should be effective from the 1st of February 2016 leaving January. Simple arithmetic that January that they left created a short fall of N0.8billion. When you fix a tariff you must try to save and nurture an industry that is still at his infancy stage. We are just three year and few months old. An industry like that requires a lot of nurturing like a baby. So NERC needs to do a lot more work, I would not blame those who are there. NERC is under people who are in acting capacity.
They came into power on the 29th of May 2015. How come they could not find professionals? Does Nigeria lack qualified people like that? Is it a question of "paddy paddy" government, whereby you bring your paddy and I bring my paddy? Even if they advertise it, we will have qualified people. Why are we going to beg one professor in America who is not ready and willing to come? Is he the best person in the world? Is he the best Nigeria can offer? Is he that somebody just wants that person because of where he hail from?
Until Nigerians begin to do things on merit and we jettisoned selfish interest, ambitions and aspiration. That is why I said it appears we do things like bring your paddy and I bring my paddy. If the person there is not ready why can't you appoint Shasore, who is the former Attorney General of Lagos state, and he is qualified. Why not make him chairman of NERC? We also have Mrs Bola Onagoruwa, she is also qualified with industry experience. There are many people, why can't we use one of this people? Why going to America to call someone who is not willing to come?
What is the update on the intervention fund provided by the CBN?
We have legacy debt being owed the market, mainly the gas suppliers in this case. They were owed before the days of PHCN before proliferation. There was no money for the Discos and Gencos to pay, so the CBN came in that we will do that but we will get the money back. Unfortunately the money is on the Discos book, when you put a debt on your book of which the money you did not spend or in your pocket. So the debt on your book makes it impossible for you to borrow money from financial institution to pay them because your business is not bankable. Another one is that the funds, of course we still have few that are yet to access it. But it is the way of paying back which is false charge that is, from the revenue you make you pay them back first every month.
What are the other challenges facing the power sector?
It is liquidity crisis, if we solve liquidity crisis, we have solve the entire problem. Regulatory consistency we need that. Government need to be more consistent. Government need to learn to live by the words and tenets of an agreement. For us at Discos we don't believe in blaming and shaming. We believe in working together with all other stakeholders to solve problems. If I keep on blaming transmission or regulator for my woes, we won't get anywhere.

The Wolf Gift, the new Anne Rice novel, is about werewolves. It is also about a problem: How to overcome the idea that our physical and human world is somehow fallen. The book is the best Rice has written since the debut novel that made her famous, Interview with the Vampire (1976). That beautiful homage to loneliness, or aloneness, became a gospel to innumerable Goths – both the open kind, who wear black lipstick, and the less open kind, who do not. The Wolf Gift recants some of the stark vision of Interview. It is happier. But there is just enough suffering in the wolf world – just enough pain mixed with wonder – that we know Rice is the same.
The main character of the new Goth vision, Reuben, is a hip secular type in San Francisco, though he has a faithless priest for a brother. At the novel's start, Reuben innocently plies his trade as a reporter. Then one thing (a bite!) leads to another (dances with wolves). Reuben finds himself drawn to scenes of violence as a beast would be by blood. His instinct is to savage the evildoers. There is a touch of the darker Batman in this wolf.
Eventually, the beast finds platonic friendship. The novel's finest scenes are of this part, entwining Plato's Symposium with the Bible's Last Supper as Reuben, his girlfriend and fellow wolf-people all sit together. They wonder why they can smell evil, and speak about what they are to do. A picture emerges of a morality based equally on social justice and cultivation of "quickened consciousness," a life of the senses.
Rice sets one brilliant dialogue in this mode at a law firm. Reuben and a wolf mentor meet there in human form, counsel present. The wolf-men talk about art and duty in innuendo. Meanwhile, the gentlemen of the bar understand little. When the mentor recommends "fortitude," his lawyer chimes in: "Now, that's a good English word I understand." But the flow of the beautiful words just goes on.
Sadly, a movie version of The Wolf Gift would be ruined by computer graphics. There would be transformations with shirts ripping, beasts on the prowl. CGI bullets would wreck the dialogues at the novel's heart. A similar fate befell the film adaptation of Interview with the Vampire. The thing was drunk on shots of Tom Cruise in velvet. That Rice co-wrote the screenplay suggests that her talent is not for film.
Rice has sold millions of books because she combines a vast literary gift with a shameless love of sex, beauty and pop culture. Her artistic vision is part Bela Lugosi, part Andy Warhol, part Christina the Astonishing, the medieval holy woman who could famously "smell sin." What is old is new: The prose of The Wolf Gift is born of King James's Bible. Ironically, the same book whose taboos Rice busts provides the poetic food for her werewolves: The novel is full of descriptions of woods, feasts, artifacts and violence that read like David's psalms.
The Wolf Gift is also the latest chapter in Rice's interesting journey as a Catholic. When Rice conceived Interview with the Vampire, she was an ex-Catholic atheist. Several horror stories later, she declared that she had returned to the Church. She wrote two novels about Jesus which conservatives praised for their subtlety.
Something then came back. Rice declared in 2010 that she was quitting Christianity "in the name of Christ," due to the religion's homophobia and sexism. But part of the Catholic return stayed in her work: an optimism, a desire to meet the concern in so many hearts that life is without meaning.
In the late 19th century, Catholicism and the Decadent movement in art were companions. Authors committed to the Decadent aesthetic – a fusion of the erotic, art worship and the grotesque – were often drawn to the Church. Oscar Wilde, Irish Protestant native, converted to Irish Catholicism. Edgar Allan Poe was obsessed with the medieval theology of sin. Notre Dame haunted Charles Baudelaire. This affinity has much to do with the old thought in the Church that art is a path to truth. For the Decadents, "art for art's sake" and art for the glorification of God were flip sides of one coin.
Wilde at his height, in The Picture of Dorian Gray (like The Wolf Gift, a morality tale about transformation), is Rice's true precursor. He preferred paradox to uncomplicated alternatives, and was most at home in the dark light of ghost stories, church shadows and fairy tales. This is the energy of The Wolf Gift. It is wit-filled, languid and vibrant, brainy and snarling. It will leave open-minded readers howling for more.

Student Safety and Protection at Talentnook
The safety and protection of students during Talentnook lessons is our top most priority. Our mission is to provide the most trusted environment for children's learning in a neighborhood setting. We encourage all of our Talentmasters, hosts and parents to ensure a safe and secure environment during the Talentnook lessons.
Talentnook Barriers To An Unsafe Environment
We have adopted the following procedures to create barriers against unsafe environment and suspicious behaviors. We truly believe in taking a proactive approach towards student's safety and protection. We believe that with this approach we will be able to prevent the creation of unsafe environment at its inception.
Double layer of supervision
We recommend the presence of two caretakers during all of our Talentnook lessons. One of the caretakers must be an adult 21 years of age or older. This double layer of supervision may be provided by:

Every training plan is built specifically to use within the TrainingPeaks desktop apps, iOS app, and Android app. During purchase you will be asked to login or create a free account to start your training.
Xterra First-Timer Training Plan $29.99
This is an 8 week program designed to introduce a novice (beginner) triathlete to off-road triathlons, such as Xterra triathlons (www.xterraplanet.com). Xterra triathlons typically are similar in length to a sprint or olympic distance triathlons and often have a "first timer" division that is separate from the more advanced athletes to make it less stressful for the first timers.
A good example is Xterra Lory, which is held in Lory State Park in Bellevue, CO, every summer. This race includes a 700 yard swim, 12 mile mountain bike ride (two 6 mile loops), and a 5.2 mile trail run. The first timer division starts after the more advanced divisions.
This training plan assumes the triathlete has basic skills in swimming (preferably some open water experience), mountain biking, and trail running. The plan has lots of tips on how to make the Xterra experience more enjoyable, and safer. At the conclusion of the 8 weeks the triathlete should be ready to complete an Xterra race that is beginner-intermediate friendly.
Purchase of this training plan includes a 20% discount off of any of the nutrition programs offered by 2 Doc Tri Coaching. Nutrition is as important in Xterra triathlons as road triathlons, but can be a bit more challenging given the different venues and conditions.
Kurt Dallow MD and Cindy Dallow PhD, RD, of 2 Doc Tri Coaching are available for consultations, individualized training plans, and coaching for both on and off road triathlons and running.

The structure of the machine is mainly composed of the main engine, the analyzer, the fan, the finished cyclone separator, the micro cyclone separator and the wind pipe. Among them, the host is composed of a machine frame, inlet volute, blade and grinding roller and grinding ring and shell composition.
The working principle of Raymond Mill:
When working, will need to crush the material from the cover side of the hopper into the machine, depending on the host hanging in the grinding roller frame plum, moves around the vertical axis, and its rotation, due to centrifugal force during rotation, the roller swings outward, tightly pressed on the grinding ring, between the shovel knife from the material to the grinding roller and grinding ring for rolling mill roller and achieve the purpose of crushing material.
Raymond Mill winnowing editor
After grinding, the fan will be blown into the host shell, blowing powder by grinding chamber is arranged above the analyzer for separation, fine through thick materials fall into the grinding chamber and re grinding, the fineness of the specifications of the wind flow into the cyclone collector, collected by the powder outlet, i.e.. The air flow is returned to the fan by the return air pipe at the upper end of the cyclone collector. The wind path is cycled and flows under the negative pressure state. The increase of the air volume of the circulating air passage is partly discharged by the exhaust pipe between the fan and the main engine, and then enters the small cyclone collector to purify it.
Use and maintenance editor

Panthers keep dream alive

SLAM DUNK: Sean Weekes throws down a slam dunk against the Sea Eagles. Picture: Noel Rowsell (苏州美甲美睫培训学校photoexcellence苏州美甲美睫培训学校419论坛)Penrith Basketball Association's division one men's team has kept their slim playoff hopes alive in the 2016 Waratah Youth League competition, thanks to a strong 82-66 win over second-placed Manly Warringah Sea Eagles on Sunday afternoon at the Penrith Valley Regional Sports Centre (PVRSC).
The Panthers were unable to shake off the strong Sea Eagles in the first half, tied 21-21 at the end of the first quarter and trailing 30-35 at half time.
Power forward Tom Lewer rose to the occasion in the third quarter, leading the Panthers to a 56-53 at the end of the term.
The home team saved their best form for the last quarter, shrugging off the Sea Eagles for an impressive 16-point win.
Sean Weekes led the Panthers with 17 points, ahead of Lewer 14, Adam Lulka 14, Shol Meshwang 9, Ben Zalac 9 and Bryden Albertyn 9.
The second-placed Penrith women were strangely lethargic in their game against the third-placed Sea Eagles women, trailing all game before falling 93-75.
In spite of the team getting together mid-week for their first full-strength session for over five weeks, that preparation failed to materialise against the Sea Eagles.
Manly Warringah led 26-18, 50-33, 71-53 at the end of the first three quarters respectively, before powering home for an 18-point win.
Emily Potts led the Panthers with 27 points, ahead of Rhiannon Pope 10, Dominika Offner 9 and Chloe Bloom 8.
Both division one teams host the Newcastle Hunters on Saturday, with the men's game at 12 noon and the women's game at 2pm.
The men then play the Inner West Bulls in Ryde on Sunday, whilst the women host the Hornsby Spiders at 1pm at the PVRSC.
There are seven women's teams in contention for the playoffs and Penrith need to win at least one game to guarantee a playoff berth.
There are nine men's teams still in contention and the Panthers need to not only win both of their remaining games but have other game results fall in their favour.
The division two men were also in action against the Sea Eagles on Sunday and came from behind early in the game for a stirring 72-65 win.

Trumpets Class Page
Welcome to Trumpets Class. We are a diverse bunch of 26 learners supported in our work by Mr Glaister and Mrs Cookson. We need our P.E. kits in school on Mondays and Wednesdays. We enjoy French with Mrs Darby on Thursday afternoons too! A big thank you to our parents, carers and people from home for helping us with our spellings, times tables, reading and Times Tables Rock Stars homework which is set on Thursdays.
We know that mistakes happen when we learn and we take a Growth Mindset approach to learning – keep putting in the effort and learning from mistakes and we will succeed!
To look at the Key Learning Documents appropriate to our time in Upper Key Stage Two, please click here. To look at our theme map please click here.
World Maths Day
Monday 9th March was World Maths Day at TCP! Mrs Smith lead a brilliant assembly showing us how important Maths is in a variety of careers from engineer to hair dresser to maths teacher! We learned about what could go wrong if you don't know your Maths with two girls ending up with very... interesting hair! In class, we looked at a ratio robbery where we had to work out how much each criminal in a robbery had stolen using ratio and then how many years they would get in prison!
World Book Day
On Thursday 5th March we celebrated World Book Day with a theme of MAGIC! In Trumpets, we focused on Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. We watched film clips and listened to extracts from the story. We generated expanded noun phrases to describe dementors, created happiness potions and used the iPads to make a collage of happy memories. We then used these happy memories to focus on our worst fears (just like Professor Lupin does with the Boggart) and used "Expecto patronum" to banish the dementors! Please see below our best costume winner, Olivia, as the sorting hat!
Safer Internet Day 2020
Today, Tuesday 11th February, was Safer Internet Day 2020! In school we had an assembly where we thought about "Identity" and what it meant. We discussed how our offline and online identities can be different; we can choose what to share. We learned that it's important to think carefully about what we share and that sometimes people don't always share the truth about themselves and we need to consider why they might do this. We also learned about Online Reputations and how what we share online can persist and affect us in the future. It is important to develop a positive online reputation and know that we need to treat people online as we would treat them offline. Below are the objectives we covered through the assembly and our tasks in class.
Science - Light
Our Science unit this half term has been Light. We have looked at reflection, refraction and how "white" light is made up of many different colours. We have investigated to prove that light travels in straight lines and have discussed how the human eye works. Fascinating!
Kandinsky art work
As part of our art work this half term we have been looking at the work of famous artists including Kandinsky. Kandinksy was one of the pioneers of modern abstract art and we have enjoyed using geometric shapes and water colours to create our own Kandinsky art!
Remembrance Week
For this year's Remembrance Week we focused on VE Day. WE discovered that, in Preston, the council forgot to organise the celebrations but thankfully ordinary citizens and businesses got together and a good time was still had by all! We looked at drawing a VE street party using our understanding of perspective and learned that life in postwar Germany was very difficult. We also learned about Pearl Harbour and the nuclear bombing of Nagaski and Hiroshima.
Police e-Safety Visit
This morning Y5 at TCP were visited by two PCSOs who gave a presentation on e-Safety. They discussed rules for staying safe online and making sure the children knew where to go when they had troubles online. They also gave some background into WHY it is important to keep our personal information to ourselves by showing a couple of videos to the children. Thank you to them!
#HelloYellow Mental Health Awareness Day 2019
Today was #HelloYellow for Mental Health Awareness Day 2019! We began the day with a discussion about mental health; what is it and why is it important? We then created a 12 Days of Happiness advent calendar with positive mental health activities behind each door. Following this, we played bingo! We had to find someone in the class who had done a positive mental health action in the last week. We also considered different situations that may affect our mental health; why would this happen and what can we do about it? Finally, we created a mental health super hero with powers to banish negativity and improve our state of mind!
Trumpets e-Safety Assembly
On Friday 4th October, Trumpets class wowed the school and parents with their assembly on e-Safety! The assembly focused on the positive and negative use of chat apps, using WhatsApp as a popular example. We informed people how WhatsApp can be used in a really good way e.g. letting parents know we'll be late, keeping in touch with family/friends who live far away or cheering someone up. We then showed how WhatsApp can be used in bad ways - making people feel bad about themselves, leaving people out and even bullying. Through poetry, drama and facts we hope we informed parents and the school about how to use technology safely and responsibly.
Attached below are the resources we used.
TCP Science Day 2019!
Tuesday 10th September was TCP Science Day! We kicked off with an amazing assembly from biomedical scientist Steve from the University of Salford. There was explosions, super cold liquid nitrogen and carbon dioxide flowing across the hall - Science Day had truly arrived!
In class we learned about crystals and then donned our protective eye-wear and gloves to mix borax and hot water together. Into this solution we place pipe cleaner Christmas shapes and the borax has now grown crystals on the pipe cleaners! Later, we used microscopes to look up close at items from our local area such as slugs, moss and leaves! We examined salt and sugar crystals using magnifying glasses and then finally made lava lamps using baby oil, water and Alka Seltzer (plus glitter of course). The baby oil and water didn't mix because of their different densities and when the Alka Seltzer was dropped into the water it reacted producing carbon dioxide gas which rose to the top, taking food colouring and glitter with it! At the top it popped so the glitter and food colouring once again dropped down the bottle to start their journey again. What a fun day!

During the war, over 75% of the regiment were incarcerated as prisoners of war at least once. More than 50% were imprisoned twice. Diseases such as measles, smallpox, dysentery, gangrene, and sepsis claimed more lives than combat. Battlefield wounds were often devastating, and medicine was primitive at best. Regardless of age or rank, none returned home unscathed…This is their story.

Using recycled polyester requires less energy
We aim to use recycled polyester in all polyester textiles that we use to minimize our usage of new oil. By using recycled polyester, we decrease the use of non-renewable resources that are used for producing virgin polyester. Using recycled polyester also requires less energy and generates less CO2 emissions than virgin polyester.
The source can either come from pre-consumer waste, waste from manufacturing, or post-consumer waste, after you as a consumer has used the product, diverting products such as PET-bottles from landfill.
Polyester is one of the most used synthetic fibers in the world. Some of the benefits of using polyester fibers are that it is a durable fiber that can take a lot of wear and tear, it does not absorb water – meaning that your shoes don't gain weight when running through water.
