Please spread the word to your friends.
10.12.17 (Thursday) 6 – 8am: The Sound's first morning DJ, Larry Morgan, returns for 1 more morning on 100.3 The Sound. Special thanks to our friends at K-Earth 101 for loaning us Larry.
10.16.17 (Monday) 6am – Midnight: The Last Time We "Roll The Dice" – The number of songs we play by each artist is determined by a roll of the dice.
10.18.17 (Wednesday) 6am – Midnight: "Album Sides Wednesday" – The Sound DJs share their favorite album sides from the original vinyl.
10.19.17 (Thursday) 8am – Midnight: The final "Triple Play Thursday"? Could be. 3 song sets from Classic Rock's greatest artists

10.23.17 (Monday) Starting at 11am: The Songs We'll Miss from A to Z – We don't know when the plug will be pulled, so let's see how far we get. Thousands of Classic Rock songs alphabetized. Can you guess what's next?
There's so much we want to say to you, our loyal Sound family. But as always, we'll let the music do the talking."
Yesterday news broke that 100.3 The Sound would be going off the air within a few weeks. The classic rock station will be turned into a satellite delivery service for Educational Media Foundation (EMF). EMF plans on playing syndicated contemporary Christian music once The Sound leaves the airwaves. EMF CEO Mike Novak released the following statement: "We are particularly excited to see what God has in store for the people of Los Angeles, through our new station, Positive & Encouraging K-LOVE at 100.3 FM. The people at Entercom have been a joy making this purchase possible."
I'm quite disappointed at the news since I love listening to this station. I can't find that many stations that play The Beatles. Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, or Bruce Springsteen. I'll definitely miss this station but will keep on listening to it until it airs it's final show. As of today there is no set day of when the transition will occur.
Are you a fan of the station? Are you sad to see it go away?

I say good morning and promptly go about my business. Mr FG can't shut up. He continues harping on how he is being persecuted by not only the powers that be, but other teachers as well. I wished he had chosen another word other than persecute. Let's look at the definition:
I don't think his beliefs are being persecuted, unless of course his belief that he is a capable teacher, and a fine human being that should be taken seriously. I think if he wishes to be taken seriously he shouldn't get drunk in a bar and dance for nickels. And there have not been any persistent or urgent approaches towards him. So persecuted? Maybe he should go to Darfur or speak to a Holocaust victim to learn the meaning of persecution.
1: to harass or punish in a manner designed to injure, grieve, or afflict ; specifically : to cause to suffer because of belief 2: to annoy with persistent or urgent approaches (as attacks, pleas, or importunities)
And this morning he doesn't shut the f*** up! He is droning on and on how every single person in the school is out to get him. "They all talk about me behind my back", he keeps on saying. I am thinking that he needs some Reynolds Wrap for a hat. I finally ask him to let me have some privacy, the broccoli from last night is not doing me well.
He has leveled charges against teachers in years past that he is being asked to do more work than he thinks he should. When he was allowed a classroom his students came out worse off in June than they were at the beginning of the year. But what he has pulled this year is shameful. The staff have gone overboard to help him. How does he repay these people? He spits on them. He is an ingrate. And worse, he is delusional. Delusional about his sense of self.

Besides the stunning Atlantic coastline and beaches, picturesque towns and cities filled with history, and some of the best weather in Europe, Portugal has a rich food culture that cannot leave anyone indifferent. If you're a food lover, Portugal is a unique kind of paradise of seafood, cheeses, olive oil, wine, and pastries waiting to be savoured. Check out our recommendations for the best Portuguese dishes and don't forget to add them to your bucket list.
Bacalhau (salted, dried codfish)
Bacalhau is the Portuguese equivalent of codfish, and it is the country's primary culinary obsession with over 1,000 different recipes. Although this traditional dish comes in so many versions, there are some more popular than others. Bacalhau à Brás is roasted or grilled cod with potato chips fried with onion, olives, parsley, and boiled eggs. Bacalhau à Lagareiro is cod with potatoes and red bell peppers. Bacalhau à Gomes de Sá is grilled cod with potatoes, onions, boiled eggs, and olives.
Francesinha (smoked meats sandwich)
Francesinha is the signature dish of Porto, Portugal's second largest city. The dish is a sandwich with layers of steak, ham, sausage, and chorizo between two thick slices of bread, spiced with a special type of tomato sauce or beer sauce and topped with melted cheese. Served with chips, francesinha is a unique combination of meats, and the result is particularly delicious. Some recipes also include seafood among the ingredients.
Peixe Grelhado (grilled fish)
Peixe Grelhado is grilled fish done in typical Portuguese style. This is one of the most beloved dishes by Portuguese, who due to the geographical position of their country, can enjoy fresh fish in almost every region. Drizzled with olive oil and salt, the fish retains its specific flavours.
Sardinhas (sardines)
Sardinhas are a staple of Portuguese culture, and you will see them everywhere. Being both affordable and tasty, they can transform a quick meal into a feast, and the Portuguese usually eat them with a salad of peppers, tomato, onion, and lettuce topped with olive oil, salt, and vinegar. Sardines are so loved that in the summer, when sardines are most delicious and juicy, Lisbon throws a huge party where fresh sardines are grilled right on the streets and served with wine, roasted bell peppers, and boiled potatoes.
Caldo Verde (soup)
The most popular Portuguese soup, Caldo Verde is consumed at the end of long nights-out or celebrations such as New Years' Eve. The soup consists of potatoes, shredded kale, Portuguese smoked sausage or chorizo, onions, and local olive oil. It's a highly nutritious, healthy, and tasty dish that you'll definitely want to replicate at home, and it's something that appears on Portuguese tables in every season.
Pastel de Nata (custard tarts)
The egg custard tarts known as Pastel de Nata are the most famous culinary products of Portugal, and for the right reasons because they are extremely delicious. There are many historic pastry shops specialized in making the best Pastel de Nata, but the most famous is Pasteias de Belem, in Lisbon. Since each place adds a distinctive twist to the original recipe, it's a good idea to sample tarts from multiple sources and find your favourite.
Polvo (octopus)
It's no wonder that the Portuguese love seafood, and polvo is an extremely popular dish, popping up on menus all over the country. You can find it as an appetizer, in a salad, or in rice, either roasted or grilled. The polvo is roasted usually in a bed of onions, red bell peppers, and olive oil and served with roasted potatoes. You can even purchase canned polvo to prepare at home.

Martin also lent his support recently scheme which challenged seven Calderdale schools to take £5 per pupil (£150 per class) and invest it over a five-week period to make a profit.
The 'Make £5 Blossom' initiative sees business teams from the schools given a £150 loan from a business partner. The teams then developed a product for school or local community to make a profit

Following our investigation of a Mt Barker "Free Range" Chicken farm which revealed chickens experiencing horrific suffering and engaging in cannibalism, the Managing Director of the company claimed he would live-stream footage of Mt Barker Chicken farms online to improve consumer transparency. To this date, company managers have had 21 months to act on these plans, yet they have failed to follow through. We can't let them get away with this!
It seems the company's real plan was to tell the public what it wanted to hear and then wait for everyone to forget about it.
Please join us in contacting the retailers of Mt Barker Chicken which can influence this company to finally make good on its promises to improve consumer transparency.

I recently purchased a Jurgens Palma 1998 only to find the tents are trashed, where can I find and purchase replacements?
Daar is n plek reg langs Kempton karavane, Canvas & Alluminium Concepts. Vriend van my het vir sy jurgens n kwotasie vir n nuwe gemaakte en voledige tent, pale ingesluit daar gekry en was nogal nie n slegte prys.
Ps. Michelle. Welkom hier op die forum. Ek hoop daar is lede wat goeie verwysings het nader aan jou.
If you looking for original new from Jurgens, be prepared for a shock!!!
Perhaps look around on gumtree for 2nd hand units.
There is also companies that will custom make you tents, but be 100% sure about their reputation and quality of workmanship.
Miskien leisure awn met sykante?
Jy kan hulle probeer, maar soos Wetkit hierbo noem.....seker met n stywe prys.
Welkom op die forum.

Wellcome to the forum.
Your profile does not indicate your language preference. I assume it to be English.
From above feedback, make sure you get more than one quote. Compare that to a quote from the agents Campworld.
You will probably get a better deal from a private tent maker. There will be trustworthy ones in your area. Just give members a chance to respond as some from CT area has made use of private tentmakers.
By the way, a private tent maker will probably not be able to match the Jurgens colours 100%.
A 100% match you will only get from the Jurgens agents in your area. Used to be Campworld.
Hi Michelle, welcome to the forum. Try Christy's Sports in Diepriver, they make customized tents and also repairs. I had a ripstop cover made for my trailer and was very much impressed with the final product. They are also very reasonable with their price.

Venture Pitch:
Guided Online Aboriginal Learning (GOAL) Program:
Student Success Through a Community Centred Approach
Ken Heales
Ventures in Learning Technology
Submitted to: Dr. David Vogt
November 23, 2008
There is a market for a distance education program for First Nations students that will allow them to complete their high school education in their home community instead of having to move to a larger community where they do not have the social and family support networks in place to facilitate a greater level of academic success. First Nations students in B.C. have a much lower high school completion rate as is evidenced by the B.C. Ministry of Education report on Aboriginal education titled, "Aboriginal Report 2002/03 – 2006/07: How Are We Doing?". This report shows that in the 2006-2007 school year, only 49% of First Nations students completed high school compared to 83% of non-First Nations students. These numbers have remained consistent over the past five years of the report going from a low of 47% in 2002/2003 to a high of 50% in 2004/2005 and 2005/2006. The graduation rates of non-First Nations students have also remained consistent over the same period, ranging from 82% to 84% (B.C. Ministry of Education, 2007). There is clearly a gap in the educational needs being met by the public education system between First Nations and non-First Nations students.
The Guided Online Aboriginal Learning (GOAL) program presented here is designed to improve the graduation rates for First Nations students so that they would be able to experience more success academically and continue on to higher education, allowing many to improve their socioeconomic status. Leaving their home communities has often had a detrimental effect on First Nations students. Cora Voyageur's (2001) observation about First Nations post-secondary students could easily be applied to First Nations secondary school students, "Students who were forced to leave the community to attend postsecondary institutions often dropped out before completion for many reasons including loneliness, intimidation, and an alien, competitive environment." (p. 104). Our program will allow these students to remain at home where they can maintain the support network that they have grown up with.
There have been many distance education courses offered to First Nations communities in the past, but most have failed for a variety of reasons. As McMullen and Rohrbach (2003) point out:
We have been continually told that our students have failed distance education courses. We contend that in many cases distance education courses have consistently failed the student. Too many distance education courses that did not consider the needs of the student or the environment in which the course was delivered have been sold to communities. (p. 6)
Most distance education courses have been developed with a one size fits all attitude. The reality is that the educational needs of First Nations students are very diverse and require cultural and environmental considerations. There are several barriers to be addressed to allow for success with any distance education program targeting First Nations students. These include:
…the costs of delivery, the effects of politics and the perception that distance education is a second-rate option compared to face-to-face delivery. Barriers encountered also included the continued lack of access to reliable technology in remote communities and the failure to research and adapt the course material and delivery methods to the unique needs of remote Aboriginal students. (McMullen and Rohrbach, 2003, p. 8)
The GOAL program presented here would address these issues so that there is a greater opportunity for student success in remote First Nations communities. By tailoring our product to the needs of First Nations students and their communities, we feel that we can improve First Nation student success in completing secondary school.
What is GOAL?
GOAL refers to Guided Online Aboriginal Learning. The idea behind this product is that too often in the past, any attempt at educating First Nations students by distance education was defeated by the very design of the product. There was little, if any, consultation with the community that the product was being marketed to. Often, the lack of success experienced by students was blamed upon the students themselves without any real attempt being made to look into why those students were not experiencing success. There is a need to restructure the education system where it is applied to First Nations students so that there is more relevant content delivered in a more meaningful manner for, as Wotherspoon and Butler (1999) point out, "…the conventional education system remains ill-equipped to overcome high rates of Aboriginal failure and dropout due to the lack of Aboriginal content, cultural curricula, and personnel" (p. 4). GOAL proposes to start with consultation with each individual community to find out what the needs and expectations of the community are. Once that information is obtained, GOAL will develop the curricular program which will best suit the needs of the individual communities.
GOAL is an educational program that will be delivered online and meet the requirements of the B.C. Ministry of Education. Within those requirements there is enough flexibility to allow for First Nations content. For example, the B.C. Ministry of Education has just recently introduced an alternative to English 12 called English 12 First Peoples. They also have developed the course, B.C. First Nations Studies 12, which can take the place of Social Studies 11. As well, where possible, First Nations content will be included in course materials so that First Nations students experience learning relevant to their context rather than learning material with which they cannot identify.
Who Will Benefit From the GOAL Program?
The GOAL program will be best suited for those communities that have benefitted from Industry Canada's implementation of broadband internet access in remote communities. This is provided via satellite connection and has been in place for several years in communities such as Nemiah Valley in B.C.'s Chilcotin region. Nemiah Valley is an excellent example of how the implementation of a broadband satellite connection can open up new opportunities for a remote community, even one like Nemiah Valley where the only power available is individual generators. Nemiah Valley currently is home to about 200 people and their children have to travel three hours to Williams Lake in order to complete grades 10-12. During the week, these students must live in a dormitory in a city where they have not grown up, usually without any sort of support network in place that they are familiar with. It is not surprising then, to find out that many of these students do not experience success at the secondary school level.
With the access to a broadband satellite connection, GOAL can provide quality, relevant educational programs to the students of the community so that they can remain in their home community and complete their secondary education. The lack of educational success of their children is a very real concern for the members of these communities. GOAL can provide them with the opportunity to have their children remain with them for the duration of their secondary school education. This way, they will be able to provide their children with the support and care that they find sorely lacking when they are shipped off to an unfamiliar community setting.
Another factor that will make GOAL appealing to First Nations communities is the ability of the communities to have input into the format and content of the GOAL program. This will make the community a stakeholder in the success of the GOAL program as they will have a vested interest in that success. The opportunity to collaborate in the development of the content of the curriculum gives the community and, by extension, the students, ownership of the program. Too often in the past, First Nations communities have had various educational programs imposed upon them with little or no input allowed or expected. The GOAL program will not operate successfully without that collaborative element between the company and the community.
How Will the GOAL Program Work?
The GOAL program will offer courses in an online format. The GOAL program will work in conjunction with the individual Band education committee and/or the local School District to put the proper support network in place in terms of instructors and IT support. Where possible, tutors on site will be preferable to tutors residing in another community. Instructors are contracted out, either from a school board or in conjunction with a school board. It is important that the availability of the instructors be made very clear to both the students and the instructors from the outset. The ability to access their instructors will be important to the students as they do not want to feel like they are not being heard.
One of the larger issues in regards to First Nations education is the imposition of deadlines on assignments and course completions. Too often, in the traditional school setting, First Nations students get behind in their work and then feel helpless when they feel that they cannot catch up. The reality for many of these students is that the pace they learn at is not necessarily governed by the calendar. Many Aboriginal communities place great importance on familial and cultural events, some of which can take up a considerable amount of time. McMullen and Rohrbach (2003) argue that programs which do not allow for this type of flexibility will only prevent student success in Aboriginal communities, "…adhering to strict course delivery schedules that do not allow for community ceremonies such as funerals and cultural events does not allow for the dynamics of remote Aboriginal communities" (p. 63). To this end, the GOAL program would allow for flexibility in course completion. If a student does not complete a course within an allotted time frame like a semester, they will not be punished with a failing grade and then face the reality of starting a course over the next year. Instead, they will be allowed to continue on from where they left off. This way, they will be able to see themselves successfully completing courses and, ultimately, graduating from high school.
Who Will Pay for GOAL?
There are potentially three partners that could be interested in providing funding for the GOAL program. First, the individual Band councils will have an interest in providing this service for their children so that they can experience an increased rate of success. At the moment, they are watching their children being sent off to schools away from their community and seeing only roughly half of their children experiencing success. Another potential partner is the individual school districts who are currently providing education programs for First Nations students. Many school districts are making the success rates of their First Nations students a priority. The GOAL program would offer them that opportunity. Finally, the federal government would probably be interested as well as they also have an interest through Indian Affairs in seeing student success rates increase for First Nations students.
The cost benefit of the GOAL program will make it attractive for all parties involved. The band will have a greater say in how their children are educated and will have a greater opportunity for their children to remain in their home community as adults with credentials that they can then use to contribute in their home community. The individual school districts can combine greater success rates with a lower cost of service delivery as they will not have to transport and house these students for several years of their schooling. The federal government will hopefully see more First Nations students becoming successful adults, thus requiring less social care from the federal government over the long term. The long term cost benefit of the GOAL program is not only measured in dollars but in long term community development as well.
How Will the GOAL Program Measure Success?
There will obviously be a transitional phase for students as the GOAL program is implemented in their home community. The program would be best implemented with a cohort of grade 10 students first and then add grades 11 and 12 in each of the following years. The goal is to take those students who are enrolled in the GOAL program and have them graduate at a rate higher than is presently occurring with First Nations students who have been shipped out of their home community to complete their high school education. If the GOAL program can improve First Nation student high school graduation rates by 20-25%, then it will be considered a success with the intention of improving even further on those numbers over the long term. The ultimate target is to have First Nations students graduating from high school at a rate that is comparable to non-First Nations students.
EVA Analysis of the GOAL Program
From an EVA perspective there are several questions that need to be addressed before the GOAL program can be considered for implementation. One of the most important factors to consider will be the reliability of the broadband network in each community. It will be important to make sure that the network that has been installed will be able to consistently deliver service so that the First Nations students are not left without a connection to their courses and instructors. If the broadband connection can be shown to be reliable then the issue of provision of service can be considered adequately addressed. Another issue will be IT support for the actual computers to be used by the students in their home community. Will they be operating from home or will the computers be provided for them in a central location within the community? If they will be operating from a central location, will IT support be on site or will a technician need to be sent out from another location? The continued reliable operation of the computers on site will be as important as the reliability of the broadband connection.
The actual curriculum provided by the GOAL program would have to be in line with the standards set out by the B.C. Ministry of Education so that the students would be receiving an equivalent level of education as those students attending public schools in other communities. Also, the First Nations content included within the curriculum package of the GOAL program needs to be relevant to specific cultural groups as there is a great deal of cultural diversity between First Nations groups.
Probably most importantly, the GOAL program will have to demonstrate that the result will justify the investment. There will have to be appreciable positive change in the number of First Nations students achieving graduation. This will have to be tracked and reported back to the stakeholders so that they can consider whether or not to continue. There is not just a financial investment at stake with the implementation of the GOAL program; there is also the education of First Nations youth at stake. The GOAL program will have to prove that it is providing a better educational alternative to having students leave home to attend school.
The GOAL program offers First Nations students living in remote communities the opportunity to complete their high school education without having to leave home and attend school in unfamiliar surroundings. It is the belief of the GOAL program that First Nations high school completion rates can be dramatically improved through the use of GOAL. The obvious need for an improved form of educational delivery to these students means that there will be a receptive market for this product. The inclusion of the First Nations communities in the development of the curricular material will help to promote ready acceptance of the GOAL program by these communities. With the successful implementation of the GOAL program in select remote First Nations communities, others will then be solicited for the option of implementing the GOAL program. The large number of remote First Nations communities combined with the increasing availability of broadband internet access through Industry Canada creates a rapidly growing market that is not currently being serviced.
The GOAL program has the potential to grow over several years as more students are enrolled in the program and experience a greater degree of success. The expansion of the GOAL program to more remote First Nations communities will allow the company to grow and expand to possibly offer an educational program for other groups outside of British Columbia and Canada. The GOAL program, if implemented properly, can provide both financial benefit for the company as well as social and educational benefit for the students and communities involved.

Hello, Ken:
You have clearly described the problem with Aboriginal youth not having the support in place to be successful at graduating. In addition, you have laid out the solution in general terms by mention the use of an online program, and showing how it could benefit the students and communities that would be involved. I get the sense that you have a passion about, and a deep understanding of, the issues.
The market is described in your pitch. I wonder whether there are other markets (perhaps worldwide?) that could benefit from a program that is developed in the same manner. In many niche areas, top-down models don't work as there is a lack of awareness of what is happening in the "reality" of the situation. Other markets would create increased incentive to get involved. You have detailed the possible barriers (Internet access, technology support, etc.), showing that you have a very good understanding of what could prevent the program from being successful.
On the other hand, it is unclear what your role is in the venture. Are you trying to get a company involved in the development of courses but then to back out of the actual development? Your understanding of the issues is important for success of the program, but if you're not involved how would this aspect be assured?
I'm not sure that I see evidence of an actual business model. You state that the courses should be developed, but there is no sense of the associated costs for development. You do note three possible partners for the program, but you mention "the company" at the end of your pitch without giving further details about what the expectations for possible returns for the company would be.
Overall, you have an interesting idea in an area of need. I would like to hear more details about the costs of getting involved with this venture. As a company that may be interested in developing courses, I would want to know more information about potential returns.
Thanks for letting me view your venture.

Hi Ken,
You clearly identify a gap in the existing education market – and one that is critical to fill from many perspectives. Some of the key aspects of GOAL you describe such as the flexibility of finishing dates and tailoring the program make a lot of sense.
When you discuss some of the issues, you note IT as one and this is a tricky aspect. Cost, support and related issues are not easily answered in this and this creates some questions from an EVA perspective. Perhaps other options such as satellite internet exist. Also, as a DE program it would be helpful if you discussed some of the platforms that would be used to deliver courses online. That would make it clearer in terms of degree of interactivity and support possible. I also wonder about the dropout rate – having students study in their home communities is logical, but as they're in the K-12 system how would other critical support be provided (e.g. counseling)?
As a concept this makes a lot of sense, and with more details in terms of timelines, and delivery methods it would be strengthened.
Good luck,

Hi Ken.
You have clearly identified the market as Joe and Gillian have also mentioned, you have identified the problems within the market that your company is addressing and have done a good job of explaining your solution to the problem.
I am left wondering how how much investment/funding that you are looking to secure. You have identified one specific community that would work as an area to pilot this idea but what stage are you in this development. It does not seem as though you will need to reinvent the wheel completely as you will be building on the existing B.C. curriculum for the courses but there will be time and manpower required to find out what the community needs are and then building that into existing and new courses.
You also mentioned that an area of concern would be the infrastructure and support of the program within the community. One of the big challenges that public education already has is finding staff that understand aboriginal education and keeping those qualified staff working in remote communities for extended periods of time.
I think that there is great merit in what you propose and perhaps by targeting one small community and securing government funding to fund a pilot in this community might not be so far off. The aboriginal community is becoming skeptical of investing their own money into programs that continue to be ineffective so a successful trial run would go a long way to securing revenue from sources other that the government. There is incredible incentive and will within the government to start to produce significant progress in aboriginal education and as an educator I think you have hit the perverbial "nail on the head" with GOAL.
5 Joey Dabell { 11.28.08 at 10:24 am }
Your paper has done a great job of identifying your market, the problem, and how you propose to provide a solution. You've also clearly identified the challenges the project would face, especially the access and infrastructure issues. I would like to better understand where this project is positioned in the marketplace – for example what distinguishes it from existing programs. One of the key issues you have identified is ensuring that you are able to provide a balance of content that meets government requirements while respecting diverse cultural needs. You have also identified that one of your biggest challenges will be justifying funding. It could be that Band and School Districts buy-in may end up being a little uneven as far as which groups you attract. Some bands/districts will have more or less money and some are going to be more or less willing to spend on your venture. Perhaps industry sponsorship might help to get your project a more even coverage? Maybe one of the infrastructure or service providers, or perhaps including some government grant funding might also help? You have clearly put a lot of thought into your venture and there is great potential here for an important project.
Best in going forward with things.

Hi Ken. Seems like a great idea and well worthwhile. I think the most significant part of GOAL is participatory nature of curriculum development. This would surely poke the interest of both governments and First Nations' groups.

By Lenie Lectura – September 26, 2018
from Business Mirror
SAN Buenaventura Power Ltd. (SBPL), a partnership between Meralco PowerGen (MGen) and New Growth BV, a wholly owned subsidiary of Electricity Generating Public Co. Ltd. (Egco Group) of Thailand, is seeking regulatory approval to construct a transmission facility that will connect its 500-megawatt (MW) coal plant to the Luzon grid.
In a 14-page application, SBPL put the cost to set up a dedicated facility project at P242,956,734.
SBPL proposed to develop and construct a dedicated point-to-point facility that will connect the coal plant to the Luzon grid through the Tayabas substation of the National Grid Corp. of the Philippines (NGCP) by connecting to the existing QPPL (Quezon Power Philippines Limited Co.) connection asset, which comprises the Mauban substation and a 230-kilovolt transmission line.
According to the Energy Regulatory Commission, SBPL's application is "sufficient in substance," with the required fees having been paid. "The same is hereby set for determination of compliance with the jurisdictional requirements, expository presentation, pretrial conference and presentation of evidence on November 6," the ERC said in its September 4 order. Last August, MGen said the construction of the country's first coal-fired power plant in the country to use supercritical technology is 90-percent complete.
"SBPL is on its 31st month of EPC [engineering, procurement and construction] implementation with overall progress at almost 90 percent and is on track for project completion in September 2019," said MGen President Rogelio Singson.
The company tapped the consortium of Daelim Industrial Co. Ltd. and Mitsubishi Corp. as the EPC contractor for the project.
SBPL achieved financial close for the power project in December 2015 for a total debt of P42.1 billion.
The electricity to be generated by the plant will be sold to Meralco, the country's largest distribution utility, under a 20-year power supply agreement. Singson added that this project would bring in additional revenues to Meralco in 2020.
The SBPL power plant will play a crucial role as electricity demand grows, especially in Luzon which accounts for about 70 percent of the country's gross domestic product.

This is Memorial Day. It's a day that many people get off from work. It's when most pools open, and the unofficial start of summer. Much more importantly, though, it's a day to remember all of the fallen men and women who died defending our country. I haven't personally had anyone close to me pass away in a war, but I know those who have. It is an ultimate sacrifice. It is also what enables me to enjoy a day like this with my family close by. I count myself very lucky to have so many people I love and to be able to spend holidays with them.
Today, though, our family gathering was a little smaller than usual. My brother and sister both had to work. My grandma just had surgery on her foot Thursday and wasn't up for visiting. That meant I spent time with my new family – my step-Dad, his daughters, and the husband and children of his youngest (his oldest is a single gal like myself). My Mom was there, too, of course.
It's a bit odd when you inherit a family through marriage, but it's also a wonderful thing. In addition to a step father, I now have two older sisters, a niece and nephew, and new aunts and uncles. They're all great. My step-Dad is 20 years older than my Mom, but they really make the best match I've ever seen. They're wonderful together and compliment each other in every way. That means my new sisters are in their early 40s and my niece and nephew are in their tweens.
Today we had a little cookout. We had burgers and hotdogs and grilled chicken, watermelon, cherries, sweet potatoes, and all sorts of snacky things, brownies, and chocolate chip cookies. You would have thought they were cooking for an army instead of eight. My Mom and I exchanged some clothes their neither of us are wearing much (we often do that kind of swap). I got several new-to-me tops, a basically brand new pair of shoes, and a skirt. My Mom got a few dresses and new nail polish. I also got my gel manicure redone. My nails are a brilliant shade of pink with a hint of blue shimmer that you can see in the sunlight. We talked and congregated, played some cornhole (ahhh, what an attractive name for a game, huh?), and watched baseball.
It was a nice little gathering. It reminded me of all that I have to be thankful for, and how much love I have in my life. Everyone dissipated a few hours after we finished our meal. The kids went to the (rather chilly) pool, one sister went for a nap, the other to trim trees, and now I'm back home writing this instead of the paper I have due tonight. Any excuse to procrastinate. 🙂
What struck me is not just the family I have gained, but also the family that I lost and the family that he lost. While my ex had a large family, they hardly ever got together for things like this. Holidays came and went with no gatherings and not even a phone call. It always struck me as so very strange. To have everyone within a 20 mile radius and yet fail to reach out at all. I can now recognize that as part of their dysfunction. They didn't spend holidays together except the obligatory family reunion around Christmas time, which not everyone even showed up for, because they didn't have the close bond that I have with my family.
My family connections bring so many tangible and intangible things into my life. Not just the food or the manicures or the clothes swapping. No, what I mean is the really important stuff – the support, laughter, stories, hugs, and feeling that I am part of something bigger, something truly special. It really is the love that makes a family what it is. It's the ability to be open and true to yourself, and to be accepted and embraced as you are. It's receiving encouragement to grow, understanding when you need it, and to laugh so hard that you cry.
Most days I wasn't sure if my ex's family even liked each other. They spent so much time talking poorly about each other, tearing each other down to feel better about themselves, and gossiping behind people's backs only to be fake to their faces. Overall it was a mess. There are many, many good people in his family. His sisters are smart and engaging, his older brother is very funny, and the aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews are quite sweet. Instead of seeing the good qualities in one another, they honed in on the bad ones. His intelligent, hilarious, and adventurous oldest sister was called a busybody or a bitch. His gentle, caring, and big-hearted youngest sister was called a failure or an idiot for loving her pets so much. The list goes on and on. It's sad, really.
I know that wherever I end up and whoever with I will make family a priority. I want to leave a family tradition like that one I came from – one that is built around love and respect and kindness. One that isn't afraid to laugh loud, play hard, eat well, and cherish one another. Although I miss some of the family that I lost, I don't miss that dynamic. We may have some straight-talking, tell-it-like-it-is types in my family, but they'll tell you to your face and give you a big hug when they do. I will carry that honesty, love, and integrity with me always. I count myself very fortunate to have that kind of family tradition, and I will make sure it continues on.

I therefore have an in-depth understanding of what it takes to succeed in your career.
My job brings me immense fulfillment and gives me a lot of joy seeing the direct impact our efforts at C.S.S have when a candidate gets a job of their dream and an employer finally hires someone who matches their requirements.
But not all employees/professionals are satisfied with their careers.
In the last eight years I have met professionals who are not doing well in their jobs and careers. Some are stuck in their job with little or no room for growth.
Many are wondering what happened to their career when they compare where they are versus what they wanted.
Majority are not happy with their salary as the pay is not commensurate with their skills and experience level.
Sadly, Some of the candidates I have also met would like to get away from a toxic work environment.
That's why I decided to form a career mentorship program.
The C.S.S career mentorship program is where I personally work with you to develop the knowledge, skills, attitudes and connections that you need to succeed and in your career.
As the Bible says, my people perish due lack of knowledge.
Through the C.S.S career mentorship program I want to work with you, offer you a guiding hand so that you can fully understand how to get a better and fulfilling job, how to stand out as a professional so that you can earn a higher salary and achieve career growth.
In short, I will teach you how to be in charge of your career.
In my experience, the reason why you are not in your ideal job or earning a good salary is because no one prepared you or mentored you on how to succeed. Alot of times we simply go with the flow.
I can tell you for a fact that getting more qualifications by going back to school i.e. for an MBA's is not the ticket to career success.
The C.S.S career mentorship program is especially for you if:
- You are not satisfied with where you are. You keep thinking about your job and career and how you could be in a better place.
- You know you have more potential but your current job does not offer room for growth and development
- Looking to grow and develop in your career and want expert guidance on what to do and mistakes to avoid.
- Would like to receive expert guidance on how to write a convincing CV and pass interviews.
- Would like an expert career mentor to walk with you and help you define and achieve your most important career goals.
- You've read online career articles, sought advice from family and friends (who are not career experts) and things have not improved.
The C.S.S Mentorship Program is not for:
- A fresh graduates. The examples and lessons that i teach are only applicable to those who have experience.
- Professionals over 45 years old. If you are at this stage then consider our one on one career coaching services.
- Anyone desperately looking for a job. We do not offer quick fixes.
What You Will Get:
At the end of the 7 weeks, you will be able to:
- Define your career direction
- Plan your next move. Discover strategies of getting a new and better job
- Learn and implement specific steps to earn a higher salary commensurate with your skills and experience
- A specific strategy on how to approach and solve your most pressing career issues at a personal and office level.
- Attain clarity on the next step you should take to grow and advance your career.
- A specific road map to obtaining career and job satisfaction
- Candid feedback on career, salary and job opportunities that suit your experience and skills level.
- How to develop confidence, presentation, leadership and networking skills.
- A road map on how to earn a higher salary without an MBA or any other advanced degree.
N.B: Career advancement and success at work is less about what you studied, your experience or skill set AND MORE ABOUT STRATEGY.
You can be like everyone else who struggles on their own, talks to family and friends (who are not career experts) or GET A MENTOR.
Do you sometimes wonder why some of your friends with fewer qualifications and experience are earning a better salary and doing better in their career?

Feedback From Previous Class
The career mentorship lessons were practical, well thought out and addressed most of the challenges I was facing at work. By the second class i was empowered to start making changes in my career and life and by the 7th week i had gotten a better job. The mentorship program works and i highly recommend it if you are feeling stuck and want more from your career. Judy – Customer Service Manager
I will forever be grateful to my friend for recommending me to the program. I had been stuck in my career with no growth for five years. From the mentorship I learnt how to set goals, brand myself, and most importantly how to sell myself . I am now in a new challenging job. G. Macharia – Technical Engineer
I feel sad that I didn't know what I know now. All my life I thought doing a good job was the ticket to success. Now I know better. From the mentorship program I have learnt how to network and develop my leadership skills. I feel empowered and in charge of my career. Susan .G – Senior Accountant
Its true – Knowledge is power. I applied the key lessons and in a span of three months I was promoted to be the head of department. Eunice N – Program Manager – International NGO

Happy Sunday Loves! It's been a pretty chilled out weekend, but that doesn't have to mean sweatpants and mismatched socks (although it usually does). I'll be sharing yesterday and today's look in two separate blog posts, to show you two ways you can be comfy and casual, but still cute on a regular day.
I thought it didn't get better than a flannel, but then this shirt happened! I recently picked this up HERE and I know it's going to be one of those tops I reach for often. I love the different take on a flannel with the choker built-in and the puffed out shoulders. I've said it before, but I love mixing feminine pieces with more edgy ones and this top does just that, in one piece. I also really appreciate the extra detailing with the buttons on the back.
I was going to do the obvious black jeans, but I decided to swap them out for white to keep things more interesting. These are also one of my most distressed pair that I own, and I thought it would play in nicely with the top. I think it would also look really cool with leather pants/leggings.
I chose black booties to pick up the black in the shirt, but the look didn't feel balanced, so I added a black fedora. I have been wearing hats a lot more recently, (probably because I am in that awkward hair-growing stage 😉 ) I think they really complete an outfit.
As always, let me know what you guys think! Look for look two this coming week!

ELAN Homes is looking for land across the Liverpool City Region and beyond to help satisfy demand for housing.
The homebuilder, with its Northern headquarters in Ellesmere Port, has achieved sell-out success on both sides of the Mersey recently at Aigburth Grange in South Liverpool and Old Quay Meadow near Neston.
The company has sites coming soon in Mossley Hill and Formby and is keen to acquire additional land with development potential to help address the housing shortage.
Marie Morris, sales director for Elan Homes in the North, said: "Elan's proven track record across the Liverpool City Region speaks for itself. We've successfully delivered high quality developments with a varied housing mix at locations including Crosby and Thornton, Mossley Hill, Aigburth and Neston offering everything from starter properties to executive family homes. While we've recently welcomed the final homeowners to Aigburth Grange and Old Quay Meadow we're continuing to receive enquiries from people who want to know where else we will be building nearby. We are always looking for land with development potential and would be keen to hear from landowners to explore opportunities. We can tailor schemes to fit the size of the parcel of land available and the local housing market."
Elan will consider all forms of development land and any larger commercial premises, including brownfield and greenfield sites with the potential to build 12 to 100 homes.
The homebuilder will work with landowners to successfully navigate through the planning process.
"We pride ourselves in knowing, understanding and delivering what buyers want," Marie added.
"When we're drawing up plans for new homes we carefully consider who would want to live in that area and why, taking into account the local housing market and the facilities in the area. We then tailor our developments accordingly so that our homes complement the area and add value to the community."
Anyone with land available with development potential is urged to contact Elan via the website https://www.elan-homes.co.uk/about-elan/land-enquiries/.

There is a general misconception that Hashimoto's disease and hypothyroidism are essentially the same things, but this is incorrect.
Hypothyroidism is a condition where the thyroid either stops or slows down in its production of thyroid hormones. These hormones essentially control how your body uses energy and low levels cause your body's metabolism to slow down.
Hashimoto's disease (also known as Hashimoto's thyroiditis, Hashimoto's hyperthyroidism etc) is as the name suggests. a disease that can cause the condition hyperthyroidism. In fact, it is one of the main causes of hyperthyroidism, which explains why they are commonly mistaken to be the same thing. Hashimoto disease is an autoimmune disorder that causes your antibodies to react against the proteins in your thyroid gland. This antibody attack causes the thyroid to become inflamed and enlarged and as a result, it becomes less effective at producing thyroid hormones, potentially leading to hyperthyroidism.
The main Hashimoto disease symptoms are caused by the slowing down of your body's metabolism as a result of the reduced thyroid hormone. So as you would expect, they can be hard to notice and steadily get more obvious as the condition worsens. They are:
Usually, the first symptom that people recognise for Hashimoto disease is a swollen thyroid gland (or neck). However, to make sure that you do have Hashimoto's, your health practitioner will normally do a thyroid function test and/or an antibody test. This involves taking a blood sample and sending it to be tested for various hormones and antibodies.
The normal Hashimoto's treatment is to take regular doses of synthetic thyroid hormone, usually in a tablet form. This replaces the hormones that your body can no longer make and usually needs to be taken for the rest of your life.
But what about Natural Therapies?
We believe that it makes sense to not only treat the symptoms (low thyroid hormones), but to also improve your overall health, and most importantly your autoimmune system. This is usually done through both herbal remedies and an improved diet plan. Find out more by viewing the separate therapies below.

The Peter Thomson designed Midlands Golf Club is situated in picturesque surroundings with gently undulating fairways fringed with well established trees and strategically placed lakes.
There's a comprehensively stocked pro shop with golf clubs and buggies for hire and a resident professional to help you with your game. The course is fully irrigated and offers superb playing conditions year round.
With a regular round of Club and Open events occurring throughout the year, at Midlands you have the opportunity to enjoy competitive golfing or to just play a relaxing social round with friends.
Club Tee times
Midlands is really a very good golf course for everyday green fee players. From playing all courses in Ballarat Midlands diffently is the pick of the crop.
The fairways remain green all through summer benifiting from the water from many of the dams and lakes situated through out the course. The greens are always in top condition. The course really benifits from its huge membership pool.
Little about the course-
The front nine is really the big challenge on this course. Enjoyable until you reach the 6th Par 5. Then the next 3 holes Par 4, Par 4, will really test your skills out. Wide fairway shots could see you dropping for 3, these holes are surrounded by water down the right side. So to all you slicers, GOOD LUCK. Straight shots will see you putting together a nice score to take on the back nine.
The back nine I believe is a little easier. Still there is water around but the layout is not nearly as hard as the front nine. Some really good holes I enjoy is the 14th Par 4. A really big dogbend sees you really trying the get the most out of your drive to set up your birdie putt opportunity. Also the 18th sees you making some really tuff decisions coming into your second shot.
You will not be dissapointed playing this course. The members are always very helpful. Say hello the Cookie the Club Pro.

Well, I'm the last of us blogging on the "writing in the dark" theme, a theme that began way back in October. At that time, "writing in the dark" conjured up images of making mysteries scary, ramping up the tension, and how to decide how dark is too dark. We've had some great posts on these topics. But the spooky stories of Halloween have long since faded for me. To be honest, "writing in the dark" means something else entirely for me now. So, if you don't mind a tangent, I'd like to delve into that here. (Hey, it's my blog entry! I can twist it how I like, right? J)
The first thing "writing in the dark" reminds me of this time of year is completely a celestial issue. I live in Wisconsin. In the northern half of Wisconsin. There's not one person who lives up here who isn't acutely conscious of HOW EARLY IT GETS DARK this time of year. It's 4:30pm right now as I'm writing and already all you can see of the cars on the street are their headlights. My dog has to wear a reflective vest for our walks, for Pete's sake! However, while some days I find it depressing—I go to work in the dark and come home in the dark—in a more positive sense, the early darkness does make the day seem longer. I find myself looking at the clock, sure it's time to get the kids ready for bed—and it's 6:30. A lot of time this translates into more writing time for me. While I do try to get outside every day, there's only so much you can do when it 7 degrees and icy (tomorrow's forecast). So I write. Sometimes in the morning, but most often at night. And there's something magical about writing in the dark. I light candles, curl up with my laptop, fleece blanket, and tea, and the darkness opens up possibilities for me. Things seem less real, less concrete—anyone who's ever scared themselves in the dark knows that imagination works overtime without lights. I like to think that applies to my writing, as well.
"Writing in the dark" also appeals to the sarcastic me as well. Right now, I'm drafting a new manuscript. First drafts are my least favorite part of writing. So many choices! So many ways to go wrong! And I just know that every little bit I put down is going to have to be redone two, three, four hundred different ways and times. I struggle with that. Why can't I just do it perfectly to start with? So, all this self-doubt makes me smile wryly when I hear the phrase "writing in the dark." Oh, I'm writing in the dark all right. I have no idea what I'm doing, where this story is going, and if it's even worth writing at this point. The only thing that keeps me going is the fact that I felt this way about MALCOLM, too, so maybe it's part of my process. I have to keep reminding myself that if I want to be a writer, I'm going to have to actually WRITE SOMETHING.
So there I am. Writing in the dark in Wisconsin. Both literally and figuratively. Sometimes by candlelight, sometimes by sheer determination.
How about you?

In the order to offer new tools for developing structure of polymers with a high capacity of chemical modification, many series of new copolymers have been synthesized. The copolymers poly[acrylamide-co-(4-vinylpyridine)] [POLY(AM-CO-4VP)] were synthesized by radical adiabatic copolymerization of the monomers AM and 4VP in aqueous solution under several experimental conditions. Thus, different parameters such as the co-monomers composition, the water solvent percentage, and the initiator rate are studied in this work. The structure and composition of the copolymers were characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and UV–Vis spectroscopies. The molecular weights were determined by size exclusion chromatography and by viscosity. The results show that the percentage of water (solvent) influences the copolymer composition and structures. Thus, the obtained copolymers differ in their molecular weights. The reaction reactivity depends directly on the monomer 4-VP percentage in the mixture. The initiator also has an important effect and was also studied.
