We recently came across a California based artist who’s making a lot of noise online. He goes by the name of FrenchieBabyy. He’s gotten our attention after releasing his latest project titled “Big Dawg Vs Small Fryz”. His project features many other rising artists and producers such as Jrod, 6eetlejuice, Dmac, Cash Dolo, PTI Teeter and 4MKBando. The project has many different vibes to it, as some songs many would compare to the style that’s currently buzzing in the Detroit, melodic sounds, and you can also hear the influence of his California roots coming from the Bay Area.
Frenchiebabyy is most notable for his skills as a dancer, which was broadcasted on national television when he was featured on America’s Got Talent. This put Frenchiebabyy on a worldwide platform giving him a huge advantage over other influencers who were just soley focused on social media.

Another month, another batch of former PB students making some serious waves out there in the real world. This is where we show off – like proud parents – recent success stories to give you insight into how music industry careers are established and nurtured right here at Point Blank. This month we get the lowdown on what’s popping in the world of tipped Berlin-based producer Apollo X, hit up Sergio T in Greece where he’s blowing up and get to know rising house star Furtherance. Want to be Point Blank’s next big success story? Check out our London, Los Angeles and Online course pages to begin your own journey to the very top.
Apollo X (KRANK, Kaiser Wilhelm Records – Music Production Ableton Live Certificate, part of the Music Production Master Diploma)
Chris Lynn was living in Austin, TX and doing his best to teach himself how to make electronic music in a city that’s known for its indie credentials. Tired of watching free tutorials and going down rabbit holes on music forums, he decided to take the plunge and sign up to Point Blank for the Music Production Ableton Live Certificate. “From the minute I started the course, I felt like this was what I was meant to do. The lessons were really easy to digest and I couldn’t wait to do the homework when I got home from my day job,” he says. “The way they block the courses together really helps build on the knowledge as you go. From advanced Ableton skills and plugins to composition, musical theory, arranging, and mixing down, Point Blank taught me everything I needed to start making my own tracks. Plus, the mentors are actually producers whose tracks I play out in my own sets. It was like working with some of my idols.”
Excitingly, having graduating from PB a little over a year ago, Chris has not only found the confidence to refresh his career opportunities, but his life too. “I felt so inspired that I left Austin and moved to Berlin. I’m now in the heart of the beast doing what I love to do.” His strain of primitivist, jacking house has landed him a montly residency at a party called KRANK with Larry Tee alongside gigs all over Germany, sharing bills with his favourite artists. What’s more, he has set up his own label Kaiser Wilhelm Records and begun recording an album. “It’s like a dream. Yes, it’s a hustle, but Point Blank gave me the foundation and the confidence I needed to build my career. If I hadn’t signed up for that first Point Blank course, I’d probably still be in Austin dreaming about the life that I’m living today.”
Furtherance (Machine Made Records – Point Blank x Defected DJ & Producer Course)
UK-based producer Edward Shepherd first began producing at age 16. The early start has paid off; he’s DJ’d at Ministry of Sound, Pacha, Electric Brixton and Electronic Session Boat parties alongside Man Without a Clue and Tim Cullen. However, he recently took part in our first ever Point Blank x Defected DJ & Producer course last month as a means to further build and refine his skill set and get insight into the music industry: “Point Blank gave such a great experience in learning something completely new,” he explains. “I was able to competently walk away understanding it fully to an industry standard.”
Now he’s dialling back the gigs to concentrate on production. Under his Furtherance guise, he creates the kind of chunky, bass-heavy house music that’s destined for main rooms the world over. He’s already had released on US label Sector 7, Sammy Porter’s label Machine Made Records and Soundcloud label Empire and is looking forward to further building his profile and putting what he’s learnt at PB into practice. “The Point Blank tutors are amazing,” he says. “The masterclasses gave such a huge insight into what the industry has to give us.”
Sergio T (My Group, Planetworks – Electronic Music Composition, part of the Music Production Master Diploma)
Born and raised in Katerini Pierias, Sergio Tanidis began composing his own songs on guitar as a teenager and landed a contract with one of the biggest record labels in Greece just a couple of years later. He broke through in 2014 with his radio hit ‘Don’t Go’ – the same year he began studying online at Point Blank on the Electronic Music Composition course. His 2015 tracks ‘Fighting for Love’ and ‘Secret’ repeated the huge success of ‘Don’t Go’, with the latter storming the Shazam charts in Greece and Turkey. Alongside his production, he is also in demand as a DJ, with a handful of residencies at clubs and bars in Thessaloniki and other cities across Greece.
“My experience at Point Blank was amazing,” says Sergio of his time studying with Point Blank. “So direct and to the point in all the information they can provide. It feels like you are considered as a person who has potential in the business.”

Are you having trouble with a faulty combi boiler?
It’s never a good sign when your boiler starts playing up, and you don’t know whether the fault is serious enough to call an engineer, or whether you’ll just be wasting their time.
As an experienced engineer in the Edinburgh area, I’ve become extremely familiar with the workings of combi boilers and their faults over the years, which is why I’ve put this blog post together to try and help you diagnose the problem and get an idea of what needs to be done to fix it.
NOTE: Please DO NOT try to fix the problem yourself, unless it’s a very simple fix such as topping up water pressure or defrosting a frozen condensate pipe – for everything else, always call a Gas Safe registered engineer.
About combi boilers
The combi boiler was first invented by Vaillant in the 1960s, although it was not until the late ’70s that the imports first came to the UK. Nobody thought they’d end up becoming so popular, and many plumbers and heating engineers thought they would be a passing trend.
Modern combi boilers are just perfect for not taking up a lot of space in the home, whilst giving you instant access to hot water and heating day or night – at a moment’s notice. There are no hot and cold storage tanks or expansion tanks to worry about, so you can reclaim space in your attic or cupboard.
Combi boilers in general are particularly reliable, and a lot of call-outs I seem to get are for very simple things that homeowners could really do themselves with a little knowledge and know-how. Sometimes it can be as simple as replacing the batteries in the programmable room thermostat.
I always feel guilty having to charge customers for a call-out when it’s such a simple fix, which is why I write blogs to give the best possible advice for my clients.
Fault 1: Boiler is indicating low pressure
If your boiler’s pressure has fallen to around 0.4 bar or lower, there’s a good chance your boiler will refuse to start up and will most likely go into boiler lock-out. In most cases, this is a fairly simple fix, but you might also want to check there are no leaks in your radiators, pipework and safety valve first.
The Fix: Locate the filling loop (usually underneath your boiler) and turn the small tap counter-clockwise. The boiler’s pressure should start to rise, and you should turn the tap clockwise again when it reaches around 1.5 bar. Check out our detailed guide on what to do if your combi boiler loses pressure for more advice.
Fault 2: Blocked or frozen condensate
If it’s particularly cold outside, with visible frost, and your boiler is refusing to come on, it could be a sign that your condensate is frozen or blocked.
The Fix: First, go outside locate the condensate. If possible, try using a kettle of hot water to thaw it out. Next, remove the condensate pipe below the boiler and drain to a bucket. That should fix the problem, but you should consider asking an engineer if he/she can retro-fit a condensate trace heater for future.
Fault 3: No heating
If your hot water is working, but your radiators aren’t getting hot despite the thermostat telling you the heating is on, check the thermostat is not flashing up with a battery symbol or displaying a flashing light on the receiver unit at the boiler.
The Fix: Replace the batteries; these thermostats usually require two AAs. If you remove and replace within one minute, your time and temperature settings should be saved. If not, you will have to reset your settings. This isn’t really a boiler issue, but most people blame their combis first when the heating fails to come on.
Fault 4: Lukewarm water/only hot when the heating is on
If your hot water is staying lukewarm when you run the tap, or you’re only getting hot water when the heating is on, the chances are it could be a faulty diverter valve or faulty hot water thermistor. We’ve actually got an entire blog dedicated to helping you diagnose this problem.
The Fix: First, ask an engineer to replace the thermistor, as this is small relatively cheap part. However, they may also need to replace the diverter valve, or strip down and replace the diagram washer and spindle.
Fault 5: Boiler cutting out, ‘chugging’ sounds
If your boiler is cutting out, or going into lock-out whilst making sounds like it’s chugging or gasping for air, it may simply need a service. There could be an issue with build-up in the flue pipe, causing a blocked air intake, a corroded flue, or dirt to build-up on the burners.
The Fix: Arrange for your boiler to be serviced with the burners and jets cleaned, and gas analysis done. If the problem persists, an engineer should check your flue and disassemble to look for blockages and corrosion, as well as to clean the Venturi. Replace any parts necessary.
Consider a replacement
Combi boilers – and basically all gas boilers – are now a lot more reliable than they were 10 years ago. 10 – 15 years ago, combis were only just incorporating condensing technology and went through a period of change and fine tuning.
So, if you’re having trouble with a 15-year-old combi, ask yourself whether you would be better off spending a lot on expensive repairs, rather than just having it replaced with a modern, high efficiency boiler that comes with a 10-year guarantee.
TIP: If your combi is newer, but still out of guarantee, it might also be worth asking the company carrying out the repairs if you can get it on a service plan – this way you’ll be covered for any further call-outs for a small monthly charge.
I hope this blog post has given you some possible insight into what could be wrong with your combi boiler, and the possible solutions you can try either yourself or with a Gas Registered engineer.
However, if you’re unsure of anything, or are still having trouble, please don’t hesitate to get in touch or leave a comment below – I’d be glad to help out.

Was Charlottesville the Exception or the Rule?
SEP 13, 2017
by The White Card Playwright Claudia Rankine
This article was originally published in The New York Times Magazine on Sep. 13, 2017.
In 1918 the Peruvian poet César Vallejo completed the collection of poems “Los Heraldos Negros,” known in English as “The Black Riders,” “The Black Messengers” or “The Black Heralds,” depending on the translator. “There are blows in life so powerful, I can’t answer” is a literal translation of the first line of the title poem. In the original Spanish, the line is “Hay golpes en la vida, tan fuertes. … Yo no sé.” As with the title, there has been some disagreement around how to translate “yo no sé.” “I don’t know,” “I can’t say” and “I can’t answer” are just three possibilities. Each translator has to confront Vallejo’s lacunas for the ungraspable experience of having to bear unbearable acts of power.
I’ve thought about this poem often over the past year as I have encountered many who feel they, too, cannot translate the horror of what is happening in America. They are shocked, and they are speechless. They don’t have the words; they can’t say; they can’t answer. How could this happen? Their disbelief is followed by “We won’t go back.”
“History is not the past,” James Baldwin said. “It is the present. We carry our history with us. We are our history.” These are words that should be repeated every day. The horror we seem to only now be noticing is an effect of our country’s longstanding commitment to white supremacy. But I am unclear about when we ever lived without its effects. Was there ever a moment when the persecution of nonwhite Americans wasn’t the norm?
As is so often the case, I wondered what I wasn’t seeing. Didn’t America elect a presidential candidate with white-nationalist sympathies? The same man who appeared reluctant to denounce a former grand wizard of the K.K.K. when that man supported him? Yet for many people, it was the alt-right’s march in Charlottesville and President Donald Trump’s initial refusal to condemn those marchers that became the truly untranslatable moment. This confused me. I reached out to a friend, the theorist Lauren Berlant, to ask whether I was misunderstanding what I felt to be an everyday kind of condition, even as others described it as unnamable terror. The K.K.K., white supremacists and the altright were being referred to as if they beamed down into our democracy, I said to Lauren. She replied that certain groups are now considered the source of white supremacy rather than its amplification.
It’s true that our president’s refusal to become “presidential,” as the pundits are fond of saying, is amplifying what is, but what is— whatever the tweets, whatever his state of mind, whatever his ultimate agenda—remains what was. Some Americans want to believe that unconscionable behavior—like marching in the name of racial hatred or plowing a car into a crowd of civilians—is an ungraspable blow to all Americans. But there’s nothing new about any of this. Heather Heyer was killed in an action meant to express the violent intent and threat of the messengers walking the streets of Charlottesville with lit tiki torches in hand—much like lynchings across our history. Attempts to whitewash white supremacy have been the de facto policy in this country.
Do we really need to go over the history? It feels as if we do. Americans, of all races, have accepted the erasure of our history and the muddying of events. But if our executive branch has no interest in distancing itself from white supremacy, it could be because our government has been in support of a similar white-nationalist agenda since before the K.K.K.’s formation, in 1865. Even as former Confederate soldiers terrorized newly freed African-Americans, the Black Codes were passed. These laws, which did everything from restricting the jobs black people could hold to limiting where they could live, structurally and institutionally supported the K.K.K.’s efforts to cripple African-Americans attempts to just live. White supremacists reinstated themselves in American life, expanding from the South to the Midwest and then on to the West; by 1925 the Klan had as many as four million members, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, and, in some states, “considerable political power.” In “The History of White People,” Nell Irvin Painter notes that “in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in 1921 police and sheriff’s deputies joined Klansmen in a pogrom against African-Americans, destroying homes, businesses and lives in an attack hardly mourned as an assault on Americans.” What was once known as “Black Wall Street” was erased from the landscape after bombings from the air and people being machine-gunned down in the streets. Later, Jim Crow laws only reinforced the agenda of the earlier Black Codes. And when those laws were struck down, each administration in the second half of the 20th century (including Bill Clinton’s) bolstered a false equivalence among drugs, criminality and blackness that reinstated a Jim Crow agenda through mass incarceration. The terror against people of color, especially African and Native Americans, has always centralized whiteness in defense of itself in its persecution of the other.
Do I need to keep going? Presidential directives like the recent Executive Order 13769 or bills like the Reforming American Immigration for Strong Employment Act (Raise)—which limits immigration through its points system—are just a rehash of exclusionary measures that go as far back as the Naturalization Act of 1790, a law that essentially restricted citizenship to free white people. The historian Matthew Frye Jacobson has suggested that the act was one of our country’s first attempts to equate citizenship with whiteness. In 1924, the Johnson-Reed Act maintained a quota system based on nationality and barred Arabs and Asians from immigrating to the States. That act made it clear, as Jacobson explains in “Whiteness of a Different Color,” that “Europeanness—that is to say whiteness—was among the most important possessions one could lay claim to.” It seems America has never not been struggling with diversity. When people in Charlottesville walk the streets chanting, “You will not replace us,” they’re just reinforcing the idea that whiteness is itself a possession to be protected.
The language used by the police chief Jeff Ledford to describe Dylann Roof, the white supremacist who killed nine African-Americans in a Charleston, S.C., church, is more than instructive. Officers gave Roof a burger after his capture. “He was very quiet, very calm,” Ledford reported. “He sat down here very quietly. He was not problematic.” For me, “problematic’’ might be the coldblooded murder of nine people. Or the quiet, calm demeanor of someone who knows he is doing the violent work of white supremacy. In his journal, Roof expresses the belief that he will be pardoned, most likely because he, at the very least, understands that on some level his views are supported by the system that privileges whiteness.
Given that the Republican presidential campaign ran on racial hate, this election “outed” America’s affiliation with white supremacy. If that ideology has been empowered over the centuries, the real question for Americans who number themselves among the counterprotesters is, How powerless are we? Can we change an orientation toward whiteness that allows us to understand our homegrown hate groups as also serving our unconscious interests? If our orientation is toward the centralizing of whiteness, with the belief that white people are synonymous with American property, rights and spaces, then any show of racist violence confirming that belief might appear too crude, too obvious but ultimately not contrary to our institutional tendencies.
A real commitment to the defeat of white supremacy begins with a cleareyed understanding that these white men and women chanting “blood and soil” are not aspirational Nazis but Americans supporting an ideology with a less organized program of racial cleansing. It is this understanding that led the N.A.A.C.P. to release a travel advisory this summer calling for African-Americans to exercise caution when moving throughout Missouri. Travel in this state, it suggested, was tantamount to risking your freedoms and perhaps your life.
“It is important that we do not reify institutions by presuming they are simply given and that they decide what we do,” writes the British-Australian theorist Sara Ahmed. “Rather, institutions become given, as an effect of the repetition of decisions made over time, which shapes the surface of institutional spaces.” If we replace Ahmed’s use of the word “institution” with “government,” we can begin to understand how much the path of history still remains in our hands. As former President George W. Bush said at the opening ceremony for the National Museum of African American History and Culture: “A great nation does not hide its history. It faces its flaws and corrects them.”
Americans continue to request that our president indulge our national sentimentality and with a show of good manners denounce white supremacy. He tried, but his words were hollow. Those who voted him in office did not vote for “healing talk.” That was the job of our most recent former president, whose legislation toward a more united America was blocked at every turn by Congress. There is no ambiguity about the message of our new president; no translation is necessary. This past year should have worn away our capacity to say demonstrations of white supremacy and racial violence are exceptions or simply a moment. If we could really see the moment, we should have already begun to see its pervasiveness.
Vallejo’s poem goes on to describe, in one translation, the blows of power as the “deep waters of everything lived through were backed up in the soul.” It was this metaphor comparing the soul to a toilet that made me commit this poem to memory. The unbearable racism, anti-Semitism, xenophobia, homophobia and white rage won’t simply flush itself from the soul of our system.
It’s been a month since the K.K.K. amplified America’s ingrained commitment to white supremacy. In the interim we’ve had major natural storms and the proposed end of DACA, among many other events, to confront. But our lives are not separate from the practices that frame them. How we apprehend climate change or how we protect our immigrant communities is not separate from our recognition of the hold white supremacy has on us. It’s on us to invent other ways to unearth white supremacy from the taken-for-granted. People of color have been opposing white supremacy for as long as they have been fighting for equal rights or, in other words, for as long as black people have been on American soil simply trying to live. That’s also how long they have been demonized and punished for it. And white Americans have been in collusion with white supremacy for as long as they have refused to see their own investment in it. As much as I flinch when I hear people say this moment is an opportunity, it is. As will be all of the next ones.

badenovaWÄRMEPLUS founded a citizens’ council to transparently involve the citizens of the seven municipalities involved in the ERDWÄRME-BREISGAU project in the ongoing investigations right from the start. 37 randomly selected people met together with the project partners for their first meeting on January 18, 2022 in the Kurhaus Bad Krozingen.
With the ERDWÄRME-BREISGAU project, the badenova subsidiary badenovaWÄRMEPLUS wants to tap hot thermal water deposits from the depths and make the heat gained from them usable. In previous investigations, a potential area was delimited by seven municipalities and a multi-stage process of public participation was started at the same time – including the establishment of a citizenship council, in which a representative cross-section of the population is represented. The aim of the citizenship council, which is to meet four times in total, is an exchange on possible questions and the formation of opinions by hearing critics, supporters, scientists, project managers and representatives of associations or organizations.
735 randomly selected addresses were written to for the citizenship council. A balanced mixture was put together from the feedback based on the criteria of age, gender and level of education across all locations. All seven municipalities (Freiburg, Bad Krozingen, Breisach am Rhein, Ehrenkirchen, Hartheim, Merdingen and Schallstadt) and 13 districts are represented. Despite Corona and working days, 37 of the 40 random citizens finally selected took part personally on Tuesday evening, January 18, 2022 in the Kurhaus Bad Krozingen under strict Corona measures or switched on online. The first meeting was attended not only by the participants and contacts from the municipalities, but also by representatives from the city of Freiburg and badenovaWÄRMEPLUS. The meeting was moderated by DIALOG BASIS, who oversee all public events on the subject.
In her digital greeting, District President Bärbel Schäfer praised the great civic commitment of the participants, who dealt with the topic of geothermal energy on behalf of the people of the region. dr Klaus von Zahn, head of the environmental protection office of the city of Freiburg, explained the importance of the heat transition for the climate protection goals of the region. Together with badenovaWÄRMEPLUS, the office had initiated broad citizen participation, which now also includes the citizen council in addition to three digital regional conferences. “For us it is important that the citizens are informed as early as possible and included in the planning”. Presenter Dr. Antje Grobe from the DIALOG BASIS team added: “The advantages of a Citizens’ Council are that randomly selected people can delve deeper into the topic in four events, clarify their central questions in public expert hearings and jointly submit a differentiated opinion on the project.”
Klaus Preiser, Technical Director of badenovaWÄRMEPLUS and Geothermal Project Manager Simon Laub then gave an introduction to the planned geothermal project. The currently ongoing exploration of the underground using 3D seismics was also taken up. The approximately 7,000 yellow measuring devices (geophones) currently laid out in the study area had also caused irritation among some random citizens.
In an introductory round, the participants had the opportunity to introduce themselves and gave an assessment of the level of knowledge and the potential for conflict in their area. The central topics and questions of the citizens were also collected here. The main focus of interest was on the technical processes, for example in relation to the differences to the processes used in Staufen or Basel. Almost as many questions were asked about the benefit or the question of who could be connected in which area. Many generally assessed the level of knowledge about geothermal energy in their place as rather low. “So far, people have mainly had negative examples in their heads,” says one of the citizens. The potential for conflict was therefore predominantly seen in the upper third of the scale. At the same time, however, the need to slow down climate change was also seen and a fundamentally interested openness towards the project was signaled. The 14 digitally connected participants also agreed with this evaluation. Clear expectations were also expressed that the level of knowledge needed to be increased through more and better information.
Public hearing of “experts”:
For the second appointment of the Citizenship Council, the presence and hearing of a special panel of experts elected by the Citizenship Council is planned. These experts come from practice, among other things, already have experience with comparable projects, are renowned scientists or can provide information on legal issues or liability. Civil society groups and critical voices from citizens’ initiatives are also involved. This date will be publicly accessible and will be communicated separately again.
Further information on the project as well as a film on the subject of regenerative heat from the depths can be found under the following link:

Life-long friends and city dwellers, Charlie Pothecary & Chris Miller, began developing a smart personal safety tool in early 2021.
The idea came at a time when tragic news stories of individuals suffering emergencies, accidents and attacks, or going missing in a variety of situations were making headlines at home in the UK and around the world.
They looked at what was already available, whether an app or device SOS feature, and found the space poorly served. They couldn’t find anything that was really simple to use, private, or most importantly, any app that was fully automatic.
Other apps relied on the user to physically interact with their phone when in an unsafe moment, or required them to share their live location and notify others each time they wished to use it.
The two friends set about creating a new kind of smart personal safety tool, one that could be used by anyone, quickly, discreetly and on all types of walking journeys, no matter where in the world they were taking place..
And so, after months of development, rigorous testing, tweaking (and testing again) Becon, the world’s first fully automated walking safety app, was born!

The Grand Traverse Region is blessed with abundant renewable natural resources, which properly managed, will remain for the next 150 years and beyond.
The community of the future depends on what direction the citizenry and leadership decide to take and external influences over which they have no control.
We are located at the center of the largest supply of fresh water on earth. Our soils can be made productive. Our climate, although northern, is attractive for crop production (particularly horticultural), tourist activities, retirement and just plain living.
Sources of income need to be attracted, promoted and developed. These include sales of agricultural, timber and fishery products, retirement incomes, tourism, marketing of locally developed technologies and business ventures.
The expanding population of future years will be more diverse, in particular in the increase of Hispanic people. Life expectancy will increase. Greatly expanded medical, assisted living and long-term care facilities will be necessary, as will extended cultural, artistic, educational and recreational resources.
Energy needs will increase. Nuclear power, supplemented by wind, solar, biomass, natural gas and petroleum, will be used more to generate electricity. Gene manipulation breakthroughs will unlock potential insect and disease controls and dietary changes that improve public health.
Hopefully, coming generations will continue the charitable tradition for which this community is noted. It is a huge asset to the area's present success as a place to live work and retire.
How well the coming generations lead, preserve and adapt to change will determine whether northwest Michigan will be maintained as an exceptionally fine place to live, work and retire.

I feel like everyone's going crazy for Pineapples at the moment! When I visited the River Island Style Studio, golden Pineapples were their decoration of choice and you can't scroll through instagram without seeing some kind of Pineapple emoji or print...
So that's why I am LOVING these Wildfox couture Pineapple shorts* from Very Exclusive - via Fashionchick!! PINEAPPLES GALORE! Woop woop!
Fab News: These shorts have just gone into the sale for half price!!
Now you'd think that these pretty, pineappled shorts would be print-tastic all by themselves, but sorry, that's just not how I roll... I added a pair of tropical slip on pumps from ASOS to my look (get similar ones from Vans) and teamed these with my magically, amazing Dom and Ink Tee*.
I designed this tee when I went down to Manchester Arndale's Trends Illustrated event, and Dom the illustrator talked me into getting this boxy cropped style top! Isn't it cool?? Dom (or Dom&Ink) from Map My Style had created loads of different images and illustrations that we could choose from to decorate our tops, and as they were all so fab, I obviously tried to get as many as I could onto 1 top...
What do you think of my print-tastic-pineappled look?!
If you could design your own tee, what would you put on it?!

The Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) revealed on February 20, 2014, Thursday that the renewed Nigerian driver’s licence would now be recognised in the U.S.A. and in Europe.
The Lagos Sector Commander of the FRSC, Mr. Chidi Nkwonta, confirmed that three states in the U.S., i.e. Maryland, Washington DC and California and seven countries in Europe, i.e. Germany, Turkey, Switzerland, Poland, Spain, Austria and Sweden would now accept the licence.
“Maryland accepts Nigerian driver’s licence provided it verifies that it is genuine, Washington accepts Nigerian driver’s licence, and California too.
“We have seven countries already in Europe that accept our driver’s licence, and we are working on other countries in Europe,” the Commander said.
Mr. Chidi Nkwonta assured that the FRSC would do its best to ensure that all states in the U.S. would recognise Nigerian driver’s licenses.
He further added that the data base and identity of the holder of the licence could be accessed in the above-mentioned countries, and that genuineness of the licence could be ascertained.
The Commander further noted that the licence contained several security features that would make it difficult to produce fake copies.

You’d be forgiven for not noticing that the Government published a new draft energy strategy this week. It’s basically the same as the old energy strategy, which they published in 2011, but with one new target around industrial process emissions intensity. In short, it’s a missed opportunity that shows a lack of bold vision and […]
Unfortunately for people of my generation getting into a home of your own – fast or slow – is becoming impossible. A home of your own is still the Kiwi dream. For many today it’s just that – a dream – and I want to help make it a reality with my Faster into Homes members’ bill.
This year, games expo PAX celebrated its third year in Australia. I was lucky enough to attend as part of Melbourne International Games Week. I was there to meet a number of industry players and research the significant number of steps the State of Victoria has taken to support its thriving games development sector. In […]
I’m pretty excited. I’m off to Melbourne today to attend the Southern Hemisphere’s largest interactive media and games conference – PAX – to research supporting our games export industry. It sounds like fun, but it’s no game. Already, with minimal support, our games and app building sector’s exports are worth $89 million a year. The […]
New data out this week from Statistics NZ paints a concerning picture of energy use across the economy under this National Government. You won’t be surprised to hear that there is some seriously worrying information here about how dirty our economy is becoming, but the good news is that with some decent political leadership, there […]
Gareth Hughes says the public should get a say on Nova Energy’s proposed big new polluting power plant in Waikato
Leroy, an Auckland great dane recently received a new 3D printed bionic leg after cancer was discovered. I think this is a fantastic story and highlights the real potential of additive manufacturing, or 3D printing Leroy’s prosthetic was printed in titanium and was an exact replica of his lost leg. Using scanning technology almost any body part can […]
We’ve had some pretty decent solar spills lately and, unlike the Rena spill, the impacts are simply a lovely day and clean energy. Greenpeace has a good write-up on Stuff Nation on why solar is a great technology for New Zealand. In New Zealand, like many other countries, we’ve seen stunning growth in solar panel […]
It’s the place where the world’s largest whales feed and the smallest dolphins live, so why would we risk it with experimental seabed mining? Submissions are currently open on Trans-Tasman Resources’ (TTR) application to mine the seabed of the South Taranaki Bight, TTR’s second attempt second attempt after the first one was turned down. The […]
How is it that New Zealand is supposed to be playing our part in the global mission to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change, yet Nova Energy is proposing to build more fossil fuel-burning power plants that emit greenhouse gases?
A collection of chambers of commerce, electricity lines companies, Federated Farmers, and businesses have just released a survey showing 56% of Kiwis wouldn’t want to pay less for power if others had to pay more.
Today I met with locals living rurally near Otorohanga, south Waikato, who will be affected by Nova Energy’s plan to build a new 360MW gas-fired power station. In a bit of a tag team, James Shaw asked questions in Parliament about the same thing.
This year, the block offer proposes opening more than 500,000 square kilometers to onshore and offshore drilling and mining. That’s bigger than Spain!
Today at Parliament, I accepted a petition signed by more than 6,000 people calling for a moratorium on seabed mining. This is also the day Trans-Tasman Resources’ (TTR) second application attempt to mine the seabed of the South Taranaki Bight opens for the twenty days of submissions period under the Environmental Protection Authority’s (EPA) rules. […]
The Green Party launched a campaign on Friday to stop the proposed construction of a new gas-fired power plant in South Waikato that would increase greenhouse gas emissions, causing climate change. Nova Energy has applied for resource consents to build a gas-burning power plant near Otorohanga. I’m asking Environment Minister Nick Smith to “call in” […]
It’s fantastic to hear today Dunedin-based game developer RocketWerkz has received substantial investment from the Chinese company Tencent and looks to employ an additional 125 people. You could say they’ve unlocked the next level. I’m a big supporter of our fast-growing game development sector and very glad to see Kiwis in creative tech jobs. RocketWerkz […]
You know your proposal has probably got something seriously wrong with it when you have councils, lines companies, businesses, chambers of commerce, Federated Farmers and the Green Party opposed. Does the Electricity Authority know it though? Today, a group of businesses, local government and electricity sector participants has come out in support of a legal […]
Recently I spent a couple of weeks in the United States on a personal research study tour. No, I didn’t get to see Donald Trump speak but I talked to plenty of Americans who were horrified and embarrassed he was an official candidate. I put the trip together to touch base with some leading thinkers and research policies. Here’s a quick snapshot of the trip.
This week is Conservation Week. We all benefit from conservation, so we all must play a part in protecting our future. 10 questions with Green MP Gareth Hughes.
Kiwis are going solar in record numbers to escape rising power bills and get a degree of energy freedom, but the electricity industry is using a host of tactics to try and discourage them.
If you read the news there are a lot of terrifying climate change reports being published but a new global resurvey of clean energy just out should give us some hope. Last year was a record year for clean energy globally according to the latest annual Renewables Global Status Report published this week. We are […]
Budget 2016 once again left our only public broadcaster, Radio NZ (RNZ), worse off. After eight years of funding freezes, you have to wonder if RNZ is being iced-out for ideological reasons.
This Thursday Bill English will deliver his eighth Budget. Will it continue the trend of previous National budgets, making tertiary education less affordable, putting only token funds into innovation, and subsidising polluters? Budgets aren’t what they used to be. Once upon a time in our history they were events, where everyone tuned-in to hear how […]
New Zealand’s national electricity grid stretches the length of the country and contains some 11,803 kilometres of high-voltage lines and 178 substations. It wouldn’t make sense for competing power companies to duplicate and build their own expensive electricity transmission system so we have a single provider, a monopoly called Transpower, which is meant to be […]
Some people call newspapers “tomorrow’s fish and chips paper” but this week’s news around a mega media merger is not an issue we should discard. Australian media giants Fairfax and APN News & Media announced they were in discussions to merge their New Zealand businesses (NZME. and Fairfax NZ) which could lead to what’s being […]
Energy Minister Simon Bridges revealed in Parliament this week he has no idea what majority state-owned power companies are up to, when he wrongly claimed that Genesis Energy would not burn coal at Huntly unless there was a shortage of renewable electricity. Was it ignorance or a smokescreen? Responding to Genesis Energy’s decision to backtrack […]
This week, Fonterra’s application to expand its milk-drying factory and burn more coal at Studholme, in South Canterbury, is being put to the test. The local council is considering the application and hearing from people who’ve asked to make submissions. It might come as a surprise to many people that Fonterra is one of New […]
If you had a trillion dollars to spend on energy, would you invest it in burning coal for electricity? Well that’s exactly what is slated to happen internationally, according to a new report. The report, published by Greenpeace, the Sierra Club, and CoalSwarm, explains that coal-generating capacity equal to 1,500 coal plants is either in […]
They glide quietly through our streets, but if Greater Wellington Regional Council (GWRC) has its way, our electric trolley buses could glide into the history books. They are an iconic feature of our city and the debate on their future should be more prominent than the current quiet discussions. In June last year GWRC decided […]
New Zealand is famed for its wind and it’s used to power our homes and businesses. Often wind electricity comes from large wind farms and huge turbines, but down south a community has worked together to produce their own power from the wind. Blueskin Bay Community Trust has applied for resource consent for their own […]
Geoff Simmons, who works with Gareth Morgan, has published a blog post about my Fair Go For Solar Bill. I welcome the debate. I hope tomorrow Peter Dunne will break the 60/60 vote tie in Parliament so we can continue the solar conversation and hear from all those involved around a select committee table. Simmons […]
The Electricity Authority (EA) has just issued a new consultation report on the implications of evolving technology for pricing of electricity distribution services, in other words how you pay for your local lines. This isn’t some far-away future: new technology like solar is already changing how we use and consume power and I welcome the […]
I’ve seen the future and it’s electric! Over the October Parliamentary recess I traveled to Oregon and California for a personal study tour and discovered we have some way to go towards clean energy, electric vehicles and a smart grid. I learnt that New Zealand has much the world desires, like our 80% renewable electricity […]
The Government has just announced another $10m for petroleum data to be secured and supplied to the oil industry, paid for by, yes you. If it looks like a subsidy and acts like a subsidy – it is a subsidy. In this case a subsidy to find more oil we can’t afford to burn if we don’t want to cook the climate.
I spent my parliamentary recess looking at roofs. Sounds like an Instagram account, I know. There was one thing that the Christchurch suburban bungalow roof; the fancy new-build in Karaka, Auckland roof; the Waikato dairy shed roof; and the Gisborne orchardists’ family home roof had in common – they all had solar photovoltaic (PV) panels […]
My Fair Go For Solar Bill was pulled from the Members’ Ballot last week and is set for a vote in Parliament. In this blog post I explain some of the background to the bill and how it aims to create a fair system for setting the price of solar power without Government subsidies.
In my short 33 years on this planet we’ve seen phenomenal technological, economic and social change, and it’s realistic to expect the next 33 will see even more, even faster change.
Yesterday the Government annouced their climate target. It’s not good news. They have officially pledged that, by 2030, New Zealand will reduce our greenhouse pollution by 30% compared to 2005 levels. In reality this target is just spin and is only an 11% cut on 1990 levels, which is the baseline previously used. That’s only […]
This post first appeared on The Daily Blog You’ve probably heard of the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA) by now and the widespread concerns around it but what about the Trade in Services Agreement (TISA) also being currently negotiated by our Government? TISA is another so-called trade deal, negotiated in secret, aiming at a liberalisation […]
