Nationwide Power Outage

[nervewrecker]

But still no date....

^
time in the back says 21:13.51
3 pics on website taken within the minute.
Obviously the time that power was lost vs time of pic...

Which translates to: 9:21:51....

What time current went by you?

which is 9.21 pm
power went later at 12.45 am or the whereabouts.
What I was trying to point out is that if the pic was dated today, or early this morning, she went back in time and did a photoshoot?

oh ho, lolz, glad we on the same page then.

I know you a smart person so I was baffled as to if you not seeing what I see.

Donno what the pics supposed to mean either way, so what if she was there before or after the incident?
I was in pos the day the bomb explode on Frederick street too....does this mean I drop the bomb in the bin? I donno eh, just asking...

if ten hours past since this unplanned disruption we should be able to make a cliam for a lil $60
residential/comercial according to ttatec http://www.ttec.co.tt/announcements/other/GESrevised1apr2010.htm so lets see, current went about 12:45 and it returned by me in deigo at about after 11am guess I am in

dont bank on that. a couple years ago my computer experienced a power surge. it damaged the voltage regulator AND the computer . So went into T&TEC....did the normz....fill out forms etc etc had a meeting with a young lady...etc etc..

two weeks later i got a letter- letter states that my home was not up to code. it was not rewired in a couple years....

INCORRECT TIME as a result of the power outage

Dear readers

Throughout the day I noticed particularly on social media networks, a rather big issue has been made about the time appearing on a clock in a photo with the Prime Minister and the Minister of Energy and Energy Affairs.

As a former Advisor at the Ministry of Energy and Energy Affairs, I sought clarification from colleagues within the industry and I have been able to ascertain that the clock in the photograph was actually a satellite clock which displayed an INCORRECT TIME as a result of the power outage knocking it off temporarily.

I was advised by colleagues in the industry that the occurrence is not unlike what happens in the home when electricity goes off and the time on the microwave or alarm clock must be reset, or, in the case of pulling the battery connection in a car, where you must also reset the time.

Satellite clocks will display random times when power is restored and must be re-calibrated in order for the correct time to be displayed. I am sure you will all agree that resetting the time on the clock was not exactly a priority at the time of the PM’s and Energy Minister’s interventions this morning.

As a matter of fact, I have been able to confirm other information which might set your minds at ease and also perhaps inspire confidence at the rate at which the Government responded to what could have been a major national crisis:

(i) The Prime Minister was the first to respond and rallied the entire Cabinet immediately upon hearing the news shortly after the outage;
(ii) The Prime Minister also immediately mobilised the National Security and Protective Services and placed them on high alert;
(iii) The Prime Minister and Minister of Energy and Energy Affairs arrived at the Powergen Station in Penal at around 5:08am Friday morning to personally oversee the power restoration work underway

Given the response, and the correct information, the Prime Minister, Minister of Energy and Energy Affairs, the security and protective forces, as well as other first response agencies deserve some commendation for demonstrating readiness.

For the sake of allaying fears and quelling any attempt to use a crisis as a platform for misinformation, please share this information widely.

My best wishes to you all

OK. so photographer is a boss...........

The time code is sent in BCD (Binary Coded Decimal) and indicates minutes, hours, day of the year and year, along with information about daylight savings time and leap years. The time is transmitted using 53 bits and 7 separators, and therefore takes 60 seconds to transmit.

"Comrades!" he cried. "You do not imagine, I hope, that we pigs are doing this in a spirit of selfishness and privilege? Many of us actually dislike milk and apples. I dislike them myself. Our sole object in taking these things is to preserve our health. Milk and apples (this has been proved by Science, comrades) contain substances absolutely necessary to the well-being of a pig. We pigs are brainworkers. The whole management and organization of this farm depend on us. Day and night we are watching over your welfare. It is for YOUR sake that we drink that milk and eat those apples." (3.14)

IT began with a tweet from CCN TV6.
A simple question, just 11 words long: “Electricity outage reported in North Trinidad at this time. Anywhere else?”
It was posted at 9.42 p.m. on Thursday. Within minutes, the responses came in.
People complained of areas such as Toco, Tobago, Cumuto and San Fernando being in darkness.
Little by little, a clear picture of how the country was being affected by the nationwide blackout emerged.

[wagonrunner]

so the clock did show the right time then?

[pioneer]

So this was like ah fire drill then?

[Aaron 2NR]

Lol who knows yes....I would think for ppgpl to trip can't be tanty kamla playing dolly cook...

I can't answer why the time on the clock says what it is neither am I justifying it being false etc. I'm just reading what's floating around.

If it is infact misconduct in public office, it's time to go

[kurpal_v2]

Read it as you see it.


Personally the watch looks wrong side Buh meen know.

[rfari]

I gonna start rocking my g-shocks the wrong way. That rell hard

[Ted_v2]

I haz no watch

[pioneer]

But ent plant control rooms have backup power?

Why on earth would the clock reset?

[pioneer]

I just disconnected all digital clocks in the house and in the car too, when plugged back in they reset to 12:00

Is this some kinda different digital clock used in the plant?

[kurpal_v2]

I gonna start rocking my g-shocks the wrong way. That rell hard

Is either the watch wrong side or time wrong




Why the fcuk this relevant idk

[wagonrunner]

But ent plant control rooms have backup power?

next announcement. the internal antenna malfunction a while now, and the date now reach dec 21 2012 causing the blackout
Pity they won't credit me for that excuse.

[pioneer]

I honestly think this is a publicity stunt gone horribly wrong by her dumbass team of PR officers (phaggot barry included).

Perhaps she did in fact visit, that's great. However they decided to use pics from some previous visit. Do those workers look any bit concerned? In the midst of a crisis who has time to pose for pictures? Especially on a plant.

I mean, they did in fact tell the population she made a state visit to india...prime ministers don't make state visits you morons.

What qualifications people need to become a PR officer for the PM?

[wagonrunner]

What qualifications people need to become a PR officer for the PM?

do you buy tops with buttons in the 12 and under female section?

[rfari]

Anyone check the exif data on the pics for the time?

[pete]

Read it as you see it.


Personally the watch looks wrong side Buh meen know.

Looks like 5:35 to me.. and as she supposed to have arrived at the plant at 5:08 makes sense.

More sense than the watch reading 11:05 and the clock on the wall reading 9:13

[Aaron 2NR]

^ looks like 5:35 as well....look at the pic with the security, the sun seems to be rising....

[PapaC]

^ looks like 5:35 as well....look at the pic with the security, the sun seems to be rising....

I see what you did there...

[Aaron 2NR]

Nah nah nothing political....just stating what I saw.....ok let me rephrase.....looks like morning

[joker]

this is just the beginning ....



see wat happens this week ... {not with electricity and gas }

my best bet is communications...

[Crackpot]

This is what happens when u rush propoganda pix to the media, chuna-police does make yuh out

See it could be that too but the time does not affect the fact that white oak and fry liver produces the stinkest smelling rumshit ever.

Why is no one asking what is the point of the PM going to the power station? Is it that Powergen needed a lawyer to help them get generator started?

I am indeed grateful for your observation and have edited the inaccurate date record accordingly.
Infor. provided in todays dailies seem to be pointing to a failure of the emergence shut down system at PPGPL.
My recall on this type of assessment in the industry is not good with examples starting from Piper Alpha (burning rig).
Many cataphrophic incidents in the industry have been caused when operators started to 2nd guess emergency systems and actually by-passed same.
With the levels of maintenance and testing of emergency valves and switches plants effected regularly to ensure the readiness of same,I am inclined to believe that the 'shut-down' system was activated when a unacceptable variation in the gas supply condition was sensed.

Cus she's an attention whore
