Summary

Power systems have two components of apparent power: active and reactive power. Both components are necessary for functioning of electrical systems. The active power is the average power absorbed by the resistive load. The reactive power is the measure of energy exchange between the source and reactive power of load. Energy storage devices do not dissipate or supply power, but exchange power with the rest of system. Active power is the one that is converted to other forms of energy in the load yet reactive power is only responsible for magnetizing purposes.  Power factor is a ratio depicting how much of the power supplied is real. The reactive current contribute in the value of the overall magnitude of current in transmission lines causing unnecessarily high line currents and low power factor. Since a low power factor means higher amount of apparent power need to be supplied by the utility company, thus the company must also use bigger generators, large transformers and thicker transmission/distribution lines. This requires a higher capital expenditure and operational cost which usually result in the cost being passed to the consumer.In this research, we seek to identify the effects of a low power factor on Swaziland Electricity Companys power supply system and recommend possible solutions to the problem. The results are useful in determining how to optimally deliver power to a load at a power factor that is reasonably close to unity, thus reducing the utilitys operational costs while increasing the quality of the service being supplied.

    Randomness is a concept used (and less formally) in mathematics to imply that there is no way to accurately predict an event (to know what will happen before it takes place) or to sense a trend. Anything that is randomly selected for no conscious purpose can be assumed to be simply by chance factor. An illustration of an occurrence random event is a financial windfall, a lottery win. A computer can generate lists of seemingly random numbers. It is difficult for humans to do the same, since the brain functions in patterns.  
    If someone is asked to keep repeating heads or tails at random, a considerate human observer or a reasonably programmed computer may eventually tell which one the person is likely to say next because the computer recognizes the patterns. The user can click on Random Page on a website such as English Wikipedia to get a random article. The odds of being on anyone's webpage are the same as on every other webpage.

    For many people, ecosystems may be a remote concept, yet we eat, drink, breathe and interface with them in every moment of our lives. In this engaging textbook, ecosystems scientist Dr. Mark Everard considers a diversity of "everyday things", including fascinating facts about their ecological origins: from the tea we drink, to the things we wear, read and enjoy, to the ecology of communities and space flight, and the important roles played by germs and "unappealing creatures" such as slugs and wasps.In today's society, we are so umbilically connected to ecosystems that we fail to notice them, and this oversight blinds us to the unsustainability of everyday life and the industries and policy environment that supports it. The Ecology of Everyday Things takes the listener on an enlightening, fascinating voyage of discovery, all the while soundly rooted in robust science. It will stimulate awareness about how connected we all are to the natural world and its processes, and how important it is to learn to better treat our environment. Ideal for use in undergraduate—and school-level teaching, it will also interest, educate, engage and enthuse a wide range of less technical audiences.

    Rewire Your Mindset And Get Fast Results With Hypnosis! 
     
    The advantages of hypnosis therapy are widespread. A lot of individuals report positive changes with hypnosis and it's recognized as a valid type of holistic alternative medicine.  
     
    Hypnosis is a popular technique utilized for weight loss, overcoming addiction, healing, achieving goals, relaxation and stress relief. It's utilized to get rid of undesired behaviors and beliefs and to manifest new desires and achieve goals in life. 
      
    If you wish to influence your subconscious mind to accept new programming for positive alterations hypnosis is an effective technique for doing that. 
     
    Among the chief advantages of hypnosis is that when you in a hypnotic state brain wave frequencies decelerate. You center or focus your awareness and you're actually much more aware than usual. A state of centered awareness almost feels as though you're more of an observer of thought and images rather than a part of them. This allows you to bypass the "gatekeepers" at the entrance to the subconscious and superconscious so you are able to access these levels of consciousness directly, and the brain is much more receptive to suggestion. 
     
    The unconscious, or subconscious may then be reprogrammed so it lets go of old patterns, beliefs and feelings that no longer serve you. They may be replaced with suggestions that are favorable and affirming. The superconscious mind may open you into fresh insights and originative ideas.  
     
    A common misperception is that you only have to be hypnotized once to make lasting changes. Occasionally this is the case, but for lasting positive changes, hypnosis suggestions need to be repeated several times till your mind accepts the new programming. 
     
    You'll need to enter hypnosis and listen to your audio multiple times. Don't expect that one session will set up and run your new programs. 
     
    Put this audio on each night before you go to bed and listen to it right before you fall asleep. If you have time also listen to it first thing upon waking. Do this for at least 21 days consistently so that positive change can take affect in your life.

    An energy industry insider delivers hard truths about the reality of fracking. Conventional wisdom has North America entering a new era of energy abundance thanks to shale gas. But has industry been honest? Cold, Hungry and in the Dark argues that declining productivity combined with increasing demand will trigger a crisis that will cause prices to skyrocket, damage the economy, and have a profound impact on the lives of nearly every North American. Relying on faulty science, bought-and-paid-for-white papers masquerading as independent research and “industry consultants,” the “shale promoters” have vastly overstated the viable supply of shale gas resources for their own financial gain. This startling exposé, written by an industry insider, suggests that the stakes involved in the Enron scandal might seem like lunch money in comparison to the bursting of the natural gas bubble. Exhaustively researched and rigorously documented, Cold, Hungry and in the Dark:·       Puts supply-and-demand trends under a microscope·       Provides overwhelming evidence of the absurdity of the one hundred-year supply myth·       Suggests numerous ways to mitigate the upcoming natural gas price spike The mainstream media has told us that natural gas will be cheap and plentiful for decades, when nothing could be further from the truth. Forewarned is forearmed. Cold, Hungry and in the Dark is vital reading for anyone concerned about the inevitable economic impact of our uncertain energy future.“Powers’s step-by-step dismantling of the abundance myth ought to alarm policymakers, corporate managers, investors, business owners, and concerned citizens alike.”—Kurt Cobb, author of Prelude and contributor to The Christian Science Monitor

    Certified soundscapes from tinnitus retraining therapy (TRT)Tinnitus describes unpleasant sounds in the ear that do not come from an external source. Everyone affected hears a different personal "sound". Some may hear whistling while others hear buzzing or roaring. What all these noises have in common is that they are perceived as a nuisance and impair the sufferer's quality of life. Tinnitus is usually triggered by stress, increasing age, or tense neck and jaw muscles. Wet weather, stress, and certain head movements can make the buzzing and whistling in the ear even worse.One thing applies to every type of tinnitus: The more attention you pay to the noise, the louder and more annoying it gets – and the more deeply entrenched it becomes in the brain's auditory cortex. Systematic acoustic distraction is therefore almost always an important factor in recovery.Most tinnitus sufferers find sounds aimed at masking the tinnitus much more pleasant than the constant whistling in the ear. This is because covering, or "masking" the sounds with specially composed soundscapes relaxes the entire nervous system and breaks down the highly detrimental fixation on the irritating noise.Based on tinnitus retraining therapy (TRT), the certified applications were developed by researchers, doctors, and sound engineers. These pieces (each lasting 60 minutes) make use of groundbreaking neuroscientific knowledge from the Tinnitus Research Center to facilitate a systematic healing process. The underlying principle is quite simple: The soundscapes minimize the volume of the tinnitus in the auditory system and make the brain block out the disruptive noise. This enables you to ignore the tinnitus, which ceases to be a nuisance or may even disappear altogether. All you need is:- Your smartphone, tablet, or notebook;- One of the six soundscapes in outstanding audio quality that were specially developed for treating tinnitus;- Stereo headphones: Wherever possible, please use high-quality products with good sound.This simple method allows you to push the tinnitus into the background and counteract any fixation on the noise. At the same time, you minimize the stressful physical and psychological "alarm reaction" that makes tinnitus such a problem.Get well soon!--Keywords: tinnitus masking, tinnitus relief, tinnitus music, relieving tinnitus, tinnitus meditation, tinnitus hypnosis, masking tinnitus
