The Federal Government is exploring nuclear technology as well as other alternative energy sources as part of its bid to scale up power generation and supply across Nigeria.
Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo made the disclosure on Monday while receiving a delegation of the Nigeria Atomic Energy Commission (NAEC) led by its Director-General, Dr. Erepamo Osaisai, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
According to Osinbajo, besides working towards improving power generation from the national grid, renewable energy is being pursued. “We definitely need a mix of energy choices because in the next decade such a mix will be imperative,’’ he said, stressing that solar power option is also being considered by the Muhammadu Buhari-led government.
Dr. Osaisai who presented a report on the Implementation of Nuclear Power Programme for Nigeria, conducted in partnership with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to the Vice President, disclosed that plans are in top gear to make nuclear power plants in Nigeria to generate power in excess of 1,200 megawatts (Mw).
He added that the nation’s nuclear power energy programme was on course to diversify power sources beyond gas and hydro bases following an integrated nuclear infrastructure review conducted by the IAEA in the country last June. “Our nuclear power plants are huge machines. And what we are planning is, each of the power plants will be generating power in excess of 1,200 Mw. Being a signatory to the nuclear non-proliferation treaty and a member of the IAEA, Nigeria has the responsibility to utilise nuclear power in the safest way possible. What Nigeria is doing, as we can tell, is diversifying our energy generation base beyond gas and hydro to include other sources for which nuclear is also being considered,’’ he said.
The chairman said the United Nations (UN) nuclear watchdog made recommendations that could help Nigeria develop its nuclear power projects. “They (IAEA officials) have made a final report in which there are specific recommendations, suggestions and also identifying good practices in the implementation of our own nuclear power programme in the country.
“That is the report they (we) came to submit to Mr Vice President. It’s quite a serious task and responsibility for a country to implement a nuclear power programme and what we do at the NAEC is to take leadership in building the pertinent nuclear power infrastructure,’’ he stressed.
According to Osaisai, NAEC has a nuclear power road map “which is being approved by government and that is what we are implementing’’.
He said in the implementation of the road map, the organisation needed to build critical nuclear power infrastructure and enter into partnerships with international agencies and other technical partners.
“The mission of the agency in June was to assess our level of preparedness and readiness in the building of this national nuclear power infrastructure. And we’ve done quite well. I think there are specific recommendations that would also strengthen our own effort in the country.’’
On the commission’s facility in Ile-Ife, the chairman said it was a “tandem accelerator “for practical physics, which could be used to implement a number of things including environmental studies.
“That is not directly in the power area, but it is a machine or equipment that will be useful for nuclear education, training, and research as well as for development in the country. We are putting it to good use; it is working fine; we have been able to conduct a number of studies.”

Fed Minutes Split Metals Traders, India’s Festival Gold “Already Stockpiled”
BULLION prices recovered most of an earlier dip lunchtime Wednesday in London, with gold trading 1.2% lower for the week so far ahead of policy-meeting minutes from the US Federal Reserve.
Asian and European stock markets fell once again, as did commodities and major government bond prices.
Analysts and wholesale gold dealers said they would look for discussion of reducing quantitative easing – held at $80 billion per month – in the US central bank’s notes.
“Wednesday could turn out to be a rather strong day in most markets,” reckons Edward Meir writing for brokers INTL FCStone.
“Should central bank deliberations reveal that officials remain uncertain as to whether or not to remove stimulus, we could see a rather sharp move higher…including [in] gold and silver.”
But “market participants will be looking for some clarity,” says a note from French bank BNP Paribas, “[plus] a possible timeline on the QE tapering plans.”
Silver prices rallied alongside gold ahead of today’s US Fed minutes, recovering 20 cents to rise back above $23 per ounce but holding 1.2% down for the week.
“Any hawkish comments could see small-scale profit taking in gold,” says VTB Capital strategist Andrey Kryuchenkov, speaking to Bloomberg.
What’s more, he adds, “It will be harder to sustain physical demand at higher prices with bargain hunting clearly running out of steam.”
World #1 gold consumer India “remains largely absent [from the market] amid tighter regulations and a weak currency,” says Swiss investment bank and major world bullion dealer UBS in a note.
“Conversations with local participants suggest that there is good interest to re-start import activities soon, especially with authorities currently working to clarify the new rules.”
Looking ahead to Diwali however, “The retail trade has built sufficient stock to cover much of the wedding and holiday season,” says the latest Precious Metals Weeklyfrom Metals Focus.
Reporting from this week’s India International Gold Convention in Jaipur, as well as other major gold centers, “Unofficial flows [ie, smuggling] appear to have increased too,” says the new London-based consultancy.
“We are keeping an eye out for any increase in shipments of 100g bars (at times prefered for this activity) at the expense of kilobars.”
Indian interest rates meantime edged back today from Tuesday’s 12-year highs, with the 10-year bond yield slipping from 9.48% after the Reserve Bank vowed to buy eight thousand crore Rupees ($1.3bn) worth of government debt this coming Friday, injecting cash into the banking system.
Gold futures in Mumbai rose to 8-month highs however as the Rupee fell further, hitting fresh record lows against the US Dollar.
Mumbai shares dropped the same amount, down 1.8% for the day and extending their fall since a month ago to more than 11%.
Ahead of today’s US Federal Reserve minutes, “I think it is the lack of Dollar supply than anything else to blame,” reckons fixed-income analyst Suyash Choudhary at IDFC, quoted by the Economic Times of India.
“Unless QE is to be wound up completely,” says a trading note from Marex Financial’s London-based head of precious metals David Govett – and “it won’t be – I would look to buy dips in the case of a reaction sell off” in gold.

Born in 1974, Camilla Lackberg graduated from Gothenburg University of Economics, before moving to Stockholm where she worked for a few years as an economist. However, a course in creative crime writing became the trigger to a drastic change of career. Her first four novels all became Swedish bestsellers. She lives in a suburb of Stockholm, with her husband Micke and her two children.
Australian praise for `The Ice Princess':
'A genuine whodunit that leaves you guessing right to the end, then throws in a few more twists in the final pages, just for good measure' Courier Mail
`A Swedish murder mystery with a backdrop cold enough to make you put on a jumper... a Must Read' Daily Telegraph
`Well-written, plausible crime fiction' Herald Sun
Praise for `The Ice Princess':
`Heart-stopping and heart-warming, The Ice Princess is a masterclass in Scandinavian crime writing' Val McDermid
`Camilla Lackberg is a more than welcome addition to the growing ranks of Scandinavian crime writers translated into English. With its sharp emotional nuances and psychological insight, `The Ice Princess' builds in suspense as the author turns her clear eye on the buried secrets and contemporary relationships of a small, isolated community. I predict that Fjallbacka and its crimes and people will soon be as popular here as they are in her native Sweden' Peter Robinson
The extreme darkness of the human spirit-a quality that marks Lackberg's novel and the work of many other Swedish crime writers-is expertly portrayed in this audio edition by narrator David Thorn, who previously read earlier installments in the author's Patrik Hedstrom series. Although it may take listeners a few moments to become accustomed to Thorn's British accent, this discrepancy quickly becomes a nonissue given the narrator's deliberate pace, which serves to underscore the bleakness of both the external and the internal terrain. This time around, Hedstrom is particularly invested in solving the crime; as a new father, he's affected by the murder of an eight-year-old girl even more strongly than usual. And Thorn is especially effective in portraying the detective's exhaustion from tending to his infant daughter, which only adds to the strain of working the grisly murder case. A Pegasus hardcover. (May) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
The listener braces for a story of child abuse and pedophilia when a fisherman hauls up the body of a little girl along with his lobster pot. The dead girl, however, is not the central figure in this mystery, although Det. Patrick Hedstrom is desperate to solve the puzzle behind her death. He knew this child and has a daughter of his own. Narrator David Thorn makes the Swedish names accessible in a way print does not. His tongue glides over the unfamiliar pronunciations, leaving the listener engaged in the story, which stretches back to the 1920s. Even the red herrings take you somewhere you need to go. VERDICT With the popularity of all things Scandinavian, this is a must purchase. ["Readers of Lackberg's two previous books will not be disappointed. The author keeps the interest high in both story lines and ties the two together in a disturbing conclusion," read the review of the Pegasus hc, LJ Xpress Reviews, 4/13/12.-Ed.]-Jodi L.

STOP FEC RESTRUCTURING. CD. “Bipartisanship is not easy. It requires both sides to recognize that they will not always get their way. But for 40 years, Republicans and Democrats were able to do it. Throwing that away and simply hoping that a new agency will side with your party is reckless and an enormous threat to the First Amendment. For the good of both parties, and for the good of the nation, we should preserve, not dismantle, bipartisanship at the FEC.”

A Royal Bahamas Defence Force marine accused of pulling a gun at a nightspot in Abaco has been charged.
Lamon Johnson, 36, of Chippingham, denied that he used the firearm to put Erica Johnson and Eliandra Cooper in fear at his arraignment before Chief Magistrate Joyann Ferguson-Pratt yesterday.
Prosecutors say that the incident took place at the Farm Club in South Abaco on August 22.
A purported video of the event was circulated on social media.
Johnson, who is represented by Bjorn Ferguson, was granted $1,500 bail on the charge with one surety.
Another marine, Ashton Darville, is accused of stealing Erica Johnson’s iPhone XS Max on the same date.
Darville, who is represented by Wayne Munroe, QC, and Jomo Campbell, was granted $9,900 bail in the Supreme Court because the magistrate lacked jurisdiction to consider bail.
As a bail condition, Darville must stay 200 feet away from his alleged victim.
Lamon Johnson, Darville, Shavargo Greene, and Yocomica Bethel, also faced charges of violating the curfew by being at the club at 11 p.m.
They denied the charge and were granted $500 bail on their own recognizance.
Munroe, who represents Darville, Greene and Bethel, said the curfew violation was not an arrestable offense. Additionally, Munroe said that the marines were considered essential workers.
Ferguson-Pratt has set the matter for trial on November 19.

There are few places on earth where it’s harder to stand up for human rights than Haiti. On this year’s Human Rights Day, we’d like to share an update about our courageous front-line activists there, who continue to fight child slavery even in times of national crisis.
Anti-government protests — some violent — have been growing worse. They’ve limited the provision of medical care, exacerbated food and fuel shortages, and reduced access to drinking water. More than two million children have been unable to attend school. Demonstrators are protesting against corruption and inflation. One analyst notes they not only want a new president, they want to “change the system of governance and the economic system that has gone along with it.”
Part of that system is the widespread exploitation of children as household slaves. Thousands are sent every year by impoverished rural families to work as domestic servants in the city. Parents hope their children will be well fed and educated, but many are brutally abused instead.
That’s why staffers in our United to End Child Slavery program with Beyond Borders in Haiti continue their work despite the current danger and hardship, braving civic unrest on the streets and sleeping in their offices at night.
Here’s why they do it:
“I’ve always been driven by a desire to rebel against injustice: children who are trapped in child slavery, women who are victims of violence at the hands of men and are denied their human rights.” — Freda Catheus
“As a survivor of child slavery I am compelled to do all that I can to fight against this practice so that no child ever suffers what I did.” — Christnel Brivard
“What gives me great satisfaction in my work is knowing the number of children freed from slavery and protected from abuse and neglect.” — Sonel Joseph
Your support makes their work possible. We hope you will value their determination by making, renewing or increasing your contribution to Free the Slaves during our Universal Values 2019 End-of-Year Campaign.
“When I dare to be powerful, to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid.” — American writer Audre Lorde
Editors note: our thanks to the Haiti team for their testimonials and perserverence, and to Laurel Rush, who wrote their story for the FTS Blog.

Below are a couple of examples of therapists that practice in the United States based on the types of therapy they offer.
Household therapy or family counseling covers adults, couples, and families. Household therapy involves assisting a household, or a group of people like a family, handle the many issues they may have. Family therapists provide social job-related services, couple treatment, and couples counseling in household counseling. Examples of what family treatment covers consist of:.
When dealing with a psychologically ill household member, people feel overwhelmed at times. The therapist may help the family member with mental illness find out how to manage themselves better, or they may help the other member of the family with managing a mental illness.
Teaching adults, couples, and households methods they can manage dispute. Families are going to combat rather a lot, and a household therapist might be able to assist combating families handle their disputes without resorting to domestic violence or other unhealthy coping mechanisms.
Family therapists may consist of social workers too. You might have an idea what a social worker is, however there are lots of misunderstandings about them. Social workers tend to take a look at their households and see if any problems need to be handled. Social workers do not need to be someone who takes the kids away, despite what the social worker track record tends to be. A social worker can be somebody who assists the family grow stronger.

The past two years have actually been tough for everybody, and I’ve discovered one style dominates the majority of my conversations with friends: psychological health. Time in seclusion and uncertainty over lost earnings sources and the wellness of individuals we care about can’t be good for anybody’s tension levels. It certainly hasn’t been for mine. Betterhelp Product Innovation Linkedin
I remember speaking to my BetterHelp therapist at the start of the pandemic about everything that was occurring and how these feelings of anxiety approaching were an eery tip of the dark location I remained in a couple of years ago, and she asked me what has actually changed with me since then.
Well, I have you to talk to..
And then she made me list through all the tools she’s taught me over the past year to deal with nervous sensations, like a freaking pop quiz.
I’ve composed a bit about losing a dear friend a couple of years earlier, and how tough it was to deal with that grief by myself in a new town. I keep in mind feeling so alone in my sadness, and wishing to share my experience so that others struggling might feel less alone. Or at least, when I was my lowest I know I discovered a lot of comfort in hearing other people’s stories of dealing with difficult times.
Then I never ever actually talked about the actions I took to feel happy once again.
I had also gone through a break up a couple of months before Rachel died, however while I might see that time was progressively healing that heartache, I knew that handling this would take more than time. And I had also seen the future damage that not overcoming grief might trigger.
Numerous of my friends talk to therapists– in fact I believe all but one of my buddies in the US have therapists– is this an extremely American thing? At any rate, after Rachel’s death they all encouraged me to find an expert to speak with, and one of my friends even discussed my circumstance with her own therapist to offer some tools to discover convenience.

Hey guys, this topic was brought up on a Porsche related forum I am also a member of. What are your thoughts regarding when a tire is unsafe to use. I don't mean like when it is worn out but having a stored tire. I've driven a car with original tires on it from the mid 80's, and they worked perfectly fine as the car was stored in a climate controller bubble. Here, I'll link you to the thread. here If you want to read it that is. The dispute between the poster Imo000 and I is on the basis that his posts deter potential buyers and have no fact to back them up. What do you guys think?

‘Call to Action’
Published 10:14 am Thursday, August 31, 2017
AHOSKIE – Roanoke Electric Cooperative, like the majority of service-based businesses, is always searching for innovative ways to engage its customers and offer them a better product at a lower price.
In the digital age, REC officials can leverage modern technology that improves product reliability and reduces operational costs, which means a “better bang for the buck” for its large base of customers.
At Saturday’s annual business meeting of REC, Curtis Wynn, CEO of the local electric co-op, outlined what he referenced as a “Call to Action” to better serve its member-owners.
Wynn addressed ‘pocketbook’ concerns, and stated how the co-op is moving forward in an effort to save its member-owners their hard-earned money.
“We want to provide our members with the lowest cost service while also saving on our end,” Wynn told the audience gathered in the gym of Hertford County High School where the annual meeting was conducted.
In response to meeting the growing digital-based needs of its membership, Wynn said REC offers text messaging or an email alert when a member’s electrical usage is running higher than normal.
“That way you can prevent being surprised when you receive your monthly bill and the amount due is higher than normally anticipated,” he said. “By alerting you in advance that your electrical usage is higher than normal, our members can contact the office to see what the problem is.”
Another cost-saving measure is the Roanoke Rewards Program, a service where REC members can shop online for goods and services at participating businesses and the savings on those purchases show up as a credit on their monthly electric bill.
REC members also have the opportunity to save $1 monthly on their bill by paying it online.
The Upgrade to Save Program makes the home of a REC member-owner more energy efficient, which leads to a lower electric bill. Wynn pointed out that this program covers things such as caulking windows and doors, insulating hot water heaters, and installing energy efficient light bulbs.
“We arrange for a contractor to perform this work after an energy audit of a residence; we pay for that work up front and the member pays it back through a monthly charge on their bill,” Wynn noted. “We have performed over 200 such projects since this program began and in every case, the amount of money saved in the electricity costs is more than the monthly charge. And once all the money to perform the work is paid back, our members really see a big difference in the amount of money they save each and every month.”
Other cost saving measures are also digitally related. The Smart Energy Savings Program allows a member to have a device on their water heater that controls the heating element.
“With your help, we can control load demand at critical times,” Wynn said. “The same logic applies to our smart (HVAC) thermostat, where we can adjust that in order to prevent having to purchase additional electricity during peak hours.”
For participating in either measure, REC will reward its members a credit on their monthly bills, Wynn said. He added that member-owners can enjoy a one-time savings of a combined $650 by allowing REC to install these energy saving devices (instead of the homeowner hiring a contractor to perform that work).
However, there remains a barrier for REC officials and its member-owners to overcome in order to institute these programs – Internet connectivity.
While most take that for granted in today’s society, the sad fact is that rural areas of the United States either totally lack the Internet or have extremely slow connections.
Roanoke Electric is seeking to counteract that problem with a bold initiative.
“These cost-saving programs require high speed Internet connectivity in order to participate,” Wynn observed. “If you do not have Internet service where you live, then you are already eliminated from participating.”
Wynn said the new Roanoke Connect program – a fiber optic communications network – is the answer.
“This is our broadband Internet service you’ve been hearing about over the recent months,” Wynn said. “We’ve done a lot of work to bring high speed broadband connectivity to the areas we serve. This will make sure that our member-owners do not lose out on the cost-saving measures I mentioned earlier.”
Work on that fiber optic network is complete as far as connecting the REC substations and the central office located just west of Ahoskie. The remaining hurdle to clear is providing this Internet service to the homes of the member-owners.
Wynn said REC is currently operating a pilot program, testing the fiber optic system among residences within a few miles of the Ahoskie office. That program is expected to last until December of this year.
“We are moving into a whole new era for our co-op,” Wynn stressed. “We’re bringing in people to help us learn about these new things, these new services, so we can provide better services to our member-owners.”
That new help, he said, will get the Roanoke Connect project off the ground.
“There’s a lot of careful planning to be done to make sure this program is right for our member-owners,” Wynn stressed. “We want to make sure that the level of service you expect is at the highest level. Please be patient with us as we take these small steps towards providing you with this type of service.”
Wynn said he expects it will take until early next year before phase two of Roanoke Connect is completed and the residential Internet service is offered throughout the REC coverage area.
Those signing up for the water heater and thermostat energy saving program will be rewarded with an added bonus….free equipment and installation for Roanoke Connect. Wynn said that amounts to a $180 saving for member-owners, which includes a $5 monthly credit on the Roanoke Connect broadband Internet package for the first six months.
“We need to know in advance of the number of our member-owners who are interested in Roanoke Connect,” Wynn said.
For more information about any of the cost-saving measures or the Roanoke Connect program, REC member-owners can call, toll free, 800-433-2236 or visit the central office located on NC 561 just west of Ahoskie.

Human services agencies gather to raise awareness
Friday, January 22, 2010
RRSTAR.COM STAFF REPORTS
Posted Jan 22, 2010 @ 12:30 AM
Dozens of representatives from social service agencies in the Rock River Valley gathered Thursday in the Burpee Center at Rockford College as part of a statewide campaign on raising awareness of how the state’s budget crisis is compromising human services.
As many as 2 million residents, or 16 percent of Illinoisans, depend on the state for child care, after-school programs, counseling for victims of sexual and domestic abuse, and help finding jobs. Moreover, 400,000 people are employed in the human services sector.
But Illinois can’t pay its bills and "human services have been cut to the bone,” said Nancy Ronquillo, chairwoman for Illinois Partners for Human Service and CEO/president for Children + Family Aid, a major social service provider in Illinois.


Employing young people is the key to future-proofing retail spaces, according to Asos non-executive director Peter Williams.

Pandas sent by China arrive in Qatar ahead of World Cup – BBC
Doha: Chinese technology giant Tencent has sent an advanced database of global sports data to the Middle Eastern nation ahead of the 2022 Fifa World Cup.The data will be used on Qatar’s national football team to help develop its performance for the tournament.
Tencent is the world’s dominant video game firm, with a market value of $7.4 billion (£5.6bn). It is the world’s single-biggest internet company with 1.4bn active monthly users.
Tencent said it had begun work on the project two months ago, and that the data had been collected in a series of “thousands of hours of video footage and millions of interactions with other teams, fans, referees and journalists.”
Qatar’s soccer team, the national team the Qatari Football Association (QFA) and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) worked together to develop the new database. Qatar, which is hosting the World Cup, will play the United States and Russia in the tournament.
Tencent did not respond to requests for comment, but Fifa said the project was supported by the organisation. It is understood that work on the database began in 2012 at the request of the QFA’s director, Mohamed Bin Hammam. Fifa is the body that awards the World Cup.
Qatar, a country with a population of 2.6 million, is already a major regional hub for global companies. It is the home base of the state airline Qatar Airways, the first in the Middle East to fly the world’s first Airbus A320. It has also been named as the world’s cleanest city in 2014.
In September Tencent invested £5.3m (13.6m riyals) in a data centre in Qatar, where it will host up to 120,000 web servers and store data from 50,000 websites simultaneously. It will become the centre of a business park, which is expected to be worth £14m a year, if built on the land that is being developed for the 2022 World Cup.

After 14 weeks of voting in 17 categories, with more than 100,000 total votes cast, the expatriate community in Malaysia have chosen their favourite hotels, resorts, spas, experiences and attractions. The results of the internationally-revered Expatriate Lifestyle Best of Malaysia Awards were unveiled tonight at a prestigious Official Ceremony presented with Guinness Anchor Breweries and Infinity Financial Solutions.
The glittering awards ceremony, organised by Expatriate Lifestyle, Malaysia’s number one expatriate magazine, took place at Rootz KL, Kuala Lumpur City Centre. Around 400 of the top names from the travel and hospitality industry in Malaysia, including General Managers from the top Hotels, Resorts & Spas, joined the celebration, eager to find out whether their properties were among the successful few.
Winners were chosen from shortlists in 17 categories over a 14-week voting period until October 1, 2013 on www.expatriatelifestyle.com.
With such high voter numbers, competition was fierce. Each category had a shortlist of ten as selected by readers during initial nominations stage. Then votes were reset and an overall winner – plus four ‘Excellence Awards’ – were collated and awarded. In two categories, Best City Hotel and Best Beach Resort, voting was so popular that shortlists had to be expanded to 14 properties, with six Excellence Award winners.
Best City Hotel, always a fiercely contested and highly revered accolade, was won by The Majestic Kuala Lumpur in its first year of eligibility, with Excellence Awards for The E&O Penang, Grand Hyatt KL, Hilton KL, Mandarin Oriental KL, Shangri-La KL and Traders Hotel KL.
Hilton Kuala Lumpur retained their title as Best Business Hotel, Spa Village Kuala Lumpur landed Best City Spa, The Majestic Malacca achieved Best Boutique Stay and Cameron Highlands Resort took home the Best Weekend Break.
Legoland Malaysia Resort won the Best Tourism Experience Award, while Pavilion Kuala Lumpur was voted The Best Shopping Experience for the fourth year running. Golden Sands Resort by Shangri-La, Penang was voted the Best in the Service With A Smile category, proving the importance of excellence in service and well trained staff to the expatriate audience.
There were more winners from outside of Kuala Lumpur than ever before in this year’s Best of Malaysia Awards, with nine of the seventeen winners coming from Langkawi, Malacca, Johor and Penang showing the high-class, burgeoning hospitality and tourism industry right across the country.
There were also a record number of awards given away, with 72 Excellence Awards across the seventeen categories. This reflects an extremely competitive voting process as a result of extensive marketing campaigns from many of the outlets, eager to rally support behind their cause and take home these respected accolades. Demonstrating just how close the voting was, in two of the categories the eventual winner achieved fewer than five votes more than the property in second place.
The Best of Malaysia Awards (#BOM2013 on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram) are the awards where the readership of Expatriate Lifestyle vote on all things travel and leisure. The awards take an overview of the Malaysian hospitality industry from hotels, beach resorts, attractions, spas and more, providing a 100 per cent public-driven award system, the only one of its kind in the country. This year’s awards took in a record high number of votes in the 8-year history of the awards with votes cast from more than seventeen thousand individuals in support of the best experiences in travel & hospitality.
The eighth edition of the Best of Malaysia Awards saw some changes that reflected the expatriate community and the ever-changing face of Malaysian hospitality industry. This year new categories were introduced for the Best Experience for Kids and The Best Tourism Experience, plus expanded fields for Best Nightlife Experience and Best Dining Experience.
At the glittering award ceremony at Rootz KL, hosted by the charismatic Rashid Salleh, awards were presented by Chief Content Officer of Mongoose Publishing Matthew Bellotti, Editor of Expatriate Lifestyle Ian Johnston, Marketing Director of GAB Bruce Dallas and representatives from A&L wines and Infinity Financial Solutions. The Excellence Award Winners were presented with a certificate and the winners received a bespoke trophy.
Guests at the event enjoyed refreshments courtesy of Heineken, Guinness and Tiger, A&L wines and Rootz KL.
Matt Bellotti, who launched the Best of Malaysia Awards with Expatriate Lifestyle eight years ago, was very excited to see how these Awards have grown. He said, “These awards are the only accolade of their kind and it’s very heartening to see how completely the industry has embraced the idea and the high regard they hold the Awards in.”
“The Best Of Malaysia is a celebration of tourism and hospitality experiences in Malaysia, which surely rank among the very best in the world. We expatriates know how spoiled we are in this country and these awards are our chance to say thank you and well done to the people who make it all happen – the brilliant hotels, resorts, spas, golf courses, restaurants, bars and attractions of Malaysia.”
“These awards have been voted for by expatriates in record numbers. They know they are spoiled by the amazing sights, scenes and travel opportunities in this country, reflected by the vast amount of them who cast their selections in our 17 categories. Personally, I think the field of winning properties this year is stronger than ever. There are some new surprises and lots of old favourites, this shows that good service and quality never go out of style. I thank all of them for their outstanding work in providing expatriates, locals and tourists with sensational travel and hospitality experiences.”
Bellotti continued, “I have watched these awards grow over the past eight years, during which time the landscape of the tourism industry in Malaysia has developed remarkably. New hotels, resorts, spas and attractions are opening all the time, making the country more enticing to overseas visitors and it is hugely satisfying to be able to acknowledge the hard work of the individuals and properties responsible for presenting the best of Malaysia to the world. These awards are not just about giving away a few trophies, but celebrating excellence across the industry and promoting the excellence in hospitality that makes Malaysia one of the greatest holiday destinations in the world.”

Morning Zoo Host Chris Collins Returns to Sacramento
Chris Collins made a visit to Sacramento over the weekend to do some interviews as part of SacTV.com’s exploration oflocal radio history. Collins was the host of the valley’s top morning radio show in the 1980s, The (KSFM) FM 102 Morning Zoo.Collins worked for the station from March 1980 through November 1992. From the late eighties through early nineties, FM 102was the last music station in town to achieve double digit market shares, in an era before the internet and instant music on the gadget in your pocket.
FM 102 was a station that transformed top 40 radio from a grab bag carnival of sounds to electronic beats with a street vibe and a topical, anything goes morning show. Collins explains in the SacTV.com video series why the show worked and how it ultimately got derailed. While leading the area’s top morning show for many years, Collins was also the station’s Music Director under Program Director Rick Gillette. Together they crafted the sound of the station based on the impact of Michael Jackson’s 1982 blockbuster album Thriller. The station went on to consistently beat top 40 competitiors KWOD and KROY in the ratings, to the point both stations were forced to change formats as KROY became classic rocker the Eagle in 1990 and KWOD shifted to modern rock the following year.
Even though Collins and his Zoo team were incredibly popular in the 1980s and early 1990s, behind the scenes issues played into the story that ended the Zoo in 1992. Unfortunately, the show was axed following management changes, which was followed by a huge legal settlement in which Collins benefitted. He went on to call games for the San Jose Sharks and ran his own station, KDIA in Oakland, before running a software company in Seattle. These days, like many important radio figures of the past few decades, Collins is exploring new media technology to connect with his audience. He has turned down offers for radio shows so that he can focus on new tech that is replacing radio as the direct pipeline to pop culture.
Collins observes that radio is no longer dialed into people’s lives the way it was in the 1980s. Corporations have changed the sound of radio since the Telecom Act of 1996, which allowed big companies to buy up half the radio industry. Today, FM 102 is owned by CBS
and is nowhere near its market leader status when it first beat KZAP in 1985 to win the market crown. Collins says that radio has lost its ability to connect with the street in this new dimension of tech gadgets that now overshadow the popularity of today’s top music acts. His morning show was a mix of music and controversial talk. Interestingly, even though KSFM’s dance beats were in sharp contrast with the freeform rock sound the station projected in the late seventies, Collins says freeform radio helped paved the way for his kind of radio philosophy.
Freeform was a format that had no rules, whereas corporate radio programming introduced a long list of rules starting in the eighties. But the station trusted Collins to run the show his way until its eventual demise. Whatever the rules were back in the 1980s, Collins definitely knew how to break them with his controversial content. Understanding where to draw the line is what kept the show vibrant and relevant. The Morning Zoo was a cast of several funny characters who ranged from the analytical news man Mike Reynolds to the street sensibility of Kil R Bee. No morning show in town has approached the ratings success generated by The Morning Zoo in its heyday. It was an important part of local radio history because it worked better than anything since. Radio may never be the same, but the latest series of Chris Collins interviews on SacTV.com raises important questions about how radio needs to reinvent itself.

Early works on The Oasis Townsville site are almost completed and the new road has been given a special name in recognition of the Oonoonba site’s long military history.
Minister for Communities and Member for Mundingburra, Coralee O’Rourke today held a ceremony on site to announce the new road at The Oasis Townsville would be named Staging Camp Avenue.
“It’s wonderful to mark this significant milestone and see The Oasis Townsville project taking shape,” Mrs O’Rourke said.
“I am proud to have been able to deliver this project for our local community – and I know The Oasis Townsville advisory committee chaired by retired Lieutenant General John Caligari AO DSC is very pleased with how the project is progressing.
She said the project supported approximately 26 local construction jobs, which was vital as the state recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic.
“With Queensland continuing to have a strong health response – the Palaszczuk Government is able to keep delivering Queensland’s plan for economic recovery, which priorities growing our regional communities.”
Mrs O’Rourke said the name Staging Camp Avenue reflected the significance of this location to Townsville’s military history, and the previous usage of The Oasis Townsville site in Oonoonba.
“During World War II, this site was used by the Australian Defence Force as Staging Camp – an area where troops would gather before they were deployed to serve overseas,” she said.
“A significant majority of the troops who served, and gave the ultimate sacrifice for our country, stayed, trained and passed through the very site we are standing on today.
“The significance of this area to Australia’s military history makes it all the more fitting to be the site of The Oasis Townsville – the new military hub we are building to support Townsville’s defence community.”
The Oonoonba area also has other significance to Australia’s military history.
When Townsville was bombed by the Japanese in July 1942, a bomb hit near the then Animal Health Station in Oonoonba.
While no structures were damaged and no-one was hurt or killed, the area is marked by the Oonoonba Bombing Memorial – which is located not far from The Oasis Townsville.
Mrs O’Rourke said the military significance of Oonoonba stretches all the way back to pre-World War I, with active militia light horse regiments drawn from the area – including the 15th and 27th Light Horse Regiments.
“Many of these men went on to serve in the famous 5th Light Horse Brigade with the Desert Mounted Corps under General Sir Harry Chauvel during the World War I Palestine Campaign,” she said.
“During this period, light horse depot locations and horse mustering and remount facilities were located in the now Oasis precinct, include the Staging Camp Avenue area.
“This area was used by the Moreton Light Horse – Queensland Mounted Infantry-between the world wars, and was used by its successor unit – the 2nd Australian Cavalry Regiment until it was disbanded in Townsville in mid-1943.
“Even now there is a local connection in the modern Australian Defence Force, with the armoured unit in Townsville bearing the name 2nd Cavalry Regiment.”
The naming of Staging Camp Avenue and the completion of early works on site at The Oasis Townsville forms part of the Palaszczuk Government’s $4.3 million funding commitment which Mrs O’Rourke fought to secure for the local community, veterans and their families.
Main works are also continuing on The Oasis Townsville, with the project expected to be completed in late 2020.

Standard equipment for a center pivot includes an end gun for many farmers, but others would never consider installing one. Why do we have such a difference in opinions?
End guns provide a low-cost method of irrigating an extra 8 to 10 acres on a full quarter-section machine. The downside is that they do not apply water very uniformly compared to the rest of the sprinklers on the machine for a variety of reasons.
First, the application pattern of the gun is not that good, even in low-wind environments. Moderate-to-high wind increases the problem because the water is sprayed high into the air over a long distance, resulting in the wind distorting the pattern and causing high drift and evaporation losses.
In addition, the water application depth drops off dramatically toward the outside edge, making it difficult to decide how far to plant the crop past the end of the pivot. Plant too far, and the crop will suffer drought stress, and if not planted far enough, you will waste water and may stimulate the growth of large weeds.
Insect, weed and plant disease pressure can build up in these areas and can move into the rest of the field.
Another challenge is keeping the water off the public road. Occasionally the shut-off device will fail, and water is applied to the road, which must be fixed as soon as possible. But the bigger challenge is deciding how close to the road to turn off the end gun.
The sprinkler must be turned off a distance before it gets to the road — not only to prevent spraying the road, but also to prevent water from drifting onto the road on windy days. The result is leaving part of the corner dry.
The problem can be somewhat alleviated by adding a second, shorter-throw end gun that can be turned on to fill in part of the corner after the long throw would hit the road. The shorter-throw guns often have less drift potential, helping keep water off the road.
End gun considerations
The extra water the end gun needs must be considered when sizing the pump. The larger pump will result in the system using more energy even when the gun is off.
There are several considerations to keep in mind. The decision of using an end gun should be made based on the availability of water, the cost of pumping the water, and most importantly, whether the corner will be planted to the same crop as under the pivot. If the same crop will be planted into the corners, then the nonuniformity around the outside edge will not result in wasted water.
End guns, like every other mechanical device, need to be well-designed, maintained, adjusted correctly and operated at the correct pressure. The end gun is usually designed correctly when it was included as part of the original sprinkler package design.
The sprinkler chart describes how the end gun is to be set up, the needed pressure, the designed part circle arc angles, and the suggested throw radius. If you do not have the sprinkler chart for your system, your dealer can give you a new one.
The biggest problem with many end guns is that the operating pressure is not correct. Low pressure is the most common problem resulting in the sprinkler being very aggressive and having extremely poor uniformity. When the pressure is too high, the result is a lot of mist and drift.
So, making sure the pressure is at the design level shown in the sprinkler chart when the end gun is at the highest point in the field is the most important factor to optimizing the water application efficiency, for both the end gun and the sprinklers on the pivot lateral.
Keep in mind that sprinkler packages, including pressure regulators, should be replaced every 10 years or 10,000 hours of operation. However, end guns often last much longer than the other sprinklers. Trees that have grown up around the end gun path and hail damage are two of the main causes requiring repairs.
A good method to visually inspect an end gun is to look at the end gun at a right angle from the pivot lateral while it is spraying water. Look to see that the water pattern and the movement of the gun is correct. Then determine if the arc is about right based on what is listed in the sprinkler chart.
A typical design could be 100 degrees to the reverse (starting with the gun aimed straight out from the pivot lateral) and 70 degrees to the forward, for a total of a 170-degree arc. The 100-degrees reverse helps ensure good overlap with the sprinklers on the pivot lateral under windy conditions, but does often result in a small, overwatered ring around the field.
Also, make sure end guns turn off when they are supposed to, and that the valve does not leak when it is off. Often, end guns are allowed to irrigate all the way around the field except over the road. This not only wastes water, but also dramatically overwaters the areas that are already irrigated by another pivot.
Doubling the amount of water applied will lower crop yields. So, do the neighboring field a favor and turn off the end gun if the field is already irrigated.
End guns can provide a low-cost method of irrigating more acres with a center pivot. The device should be well-designed, maintained, adjusted correctly and operated at the correct pressure to optimize efficiency.
However, they are less efficient than the sprinklers on the lateral pipe and thus should not be used in every situation, such as when the corners are planted to a different crop, or when water supplies are short or expensive.
