This tale of a vain king, his deceitful advisers and the meek peasants who refuse to speak the truth to avoid ridicule has become an idiom still in much use today. For children, it is good to be exposed to this original tale about misguided adults and a pure and innocent boy who boldly declares: 'You are naked '

Power distribution and quality remain the key challenges facing the electrical utilities industry. Technology alone cannot provide a solution to power quality problems, and there exists a variety of procedures and programs that can be put in place to ensure reliable, high quality electricity. With chapters carefully culled from the best-selling Electric Power Distribution Handbook, Distribution Reliability and Power Quality provides an economical, sharply focused reference for engineers and technicians working in this specialty area of power distribution. The book introduces the concept of reliability, outlining various methods of assessing and improving reliability along with the factors that affect it. It follows with a detailed look at voltage sags and momentary interruptions, various solutions to these issues, power quality monitoring, and other quality issues such as voltage unbalance and harmonics. Because faults are the cause of many interruptions and other power quality problems, the author devotes a detailed chapter to various aspects of faults. Focused on enhancing the delivery of high-quality power, this volume includes a new chapter on reliability and power quality improvement programs that provide a roadmap to better performance and ultimately to higher efficiency. Presenting a host of practical solutions for reliability and power quality specialists, Distribution Reliability and Power Quality gathers critical tools, techniques, and knowledge into a single source that is ideally suited for immediate implementation.

WHAT IS THE LEARN TO READ BOOK:

Tell us how the “Learn to Read, Learn to Lead “concept came about? • equal education opportunities. • for: the illiterate • young children of today, becoming leaders of the future. • empowering the youth of today

What inspired this campaign?

I recently sat in Parliament at the National Youth Summit and heard children as young as 10 years old ask the ministers for equal education opportunities – and that is the moment I realized we actually have a huge educational gap in South Africa and “Learn to Read, Learn to Lead” is an attempt to bridge that gap for all South Africans.

When did this initiative officially start?

Officially launched in July (2018) at the Nasdak venue, with the help from Rachel Jafta - Professor in Economics at the University of Stellenbosch.
 
Tell us about the book design and mascot – why did you go with that particular storyline and characters?

• ‘local is lekker’ so when creating the storyline and characters I tried my best to embrace the beauty of South Africa.
• I wanted everyone to be able to relate to the story and characters. The story is set in a South African location.
• a lot of colours were used throughout the book to represent our Rainbow Nation and also as to make it more fun for the children. Each book has a theme in the beginning that continues throughout the book.
• educational section within the book that actually teaches the children how to read and write – in this section repetition was used to make it easier for the children. Very simple and basic English sentences
• The mascot and main character’s name is Tata, named after the late Nelson Mandela’s nickname.
Nelson Mandela’s quote; “Education is the most powerful tool one can use to change the world” is what inspired this campaign and is why I decided to name the main character after him.

I wanted to create a character that each individual in South Africa can relate to and not be aimed at a specific race or culture this is why Tata is a little rainbow creature (again, representing all of the Rainbow Nation, I made him a little alien that came from space because children are very interested in outer space nowadays).”

50% of the net profit from the book is split equally to go towards the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund and the Tshwane Child Welfare Fund unrecognised. The remainder of the profits from the books will go towards converting and setting up shipping containers into classrooms and libraries to put in areas that lack educational facilities.

"This collection brings together four of Copi's best-known works for stage: Eva Peron, The Homosexual, The Four Twins and Loretta Strong. Set on the borderline of reality and delirium, and featuring such charismatic icons as Eva Peron and Greta Garbo, they are imbued with Copi's trademark racy wit and manic pace, intended at once to shock the bien-pensant and to open up radically new insights. The product of one of the most talked-about dramatists in the French language since Arrabal and the advent of the theatre of panic, Copi's works continue to shock and challenge all they come into contact with."

My Dad's sister Iris couldn't get it in her head that men loved football and that they could be so passionate about it. Oh, and woe betide any woman that said she liked football. Iris would glare with astounding bewilderment that defied description. I tried to explain, but it never worked. I gave up and just laughed. "Kicking a bag of wind" (all the non-believers use this term) was so alien to her. How do you explain that feeling, that allure, that attraction? It's almost like a love affair... There are so many reasons, I can't put my finger on just one. Perhaps I'll never know. Maybe it is a form of madness, like love. So come with us and explore the twisted minds of a family of Baggies fans for a witty look at the 'good & bad' the 'love or madness' of your average football fanatics.
