Petmalu ang Werpa ng mga Lodi

Wazzup Pilipinas!

I think that I shall never see a word as lovely as "Lodi"

Grabe, I'm kinda surprised catching up on these ever-evolving cultures! But all differences are respected, free-willingly, lest I'll be tied to close-&-small-mindedness.

If you’ve been seeing the words lodi, werpa, and petmalu on your News Feed lately, don't be too confused. You might actually be familiar with these terms already. There seems to be a resurgence of the use of colloquial terms in the country, especially online, where people are always creating new modes of communication. This time around, there are fresh—albeit, funny sounding—coined words that millennials are using to express themselves. The style in which these words are fashioned, however, is an old school trick, where the syllables of a particular word are switched around to form a new one.

If the ‘70s had amats, astig, epats , and olats, and the the ‘80s had jeproks, bagets, and senglot , what kind of words are the kids of today using?

I am actually feeling old whenever I hear these "new" but familiar ways of creating new lingos since people have done the same before.

Just like in fashion, old trends just keeps coming back. It may just be a fad that will soon be replaced by a new "fad".

Here are some of the most popular slang terms you should know right now:

G.SKILL Releases DDR4-3800MHz 32GB (4x8GB) SO-DIMM Memory Kit for Mini-ITX Motherboard

G.SKILL International Enterprise Co., Ltd., the world’s leading manufacturer of extreme performance memory and gaming peripherals, is thrilled to announce the release of a new high performance DDR4 Ripjaws SO-DIMM series for small-form factor (SFF) platforms, at DDR4-3800MHz CL18-18-18-38 32GB (4x8GB) at 1.35V, making this the world’s fastest SO-DIMM memory kit. In addition, 3 new specifications will be added to the Ripjaws DDR4 SO-DIMM family, including DDR4-3600MHz CL16-16-16-36 32GB (4x8GB), DDR4-3200MHz CL16-16-16-36 32GB (4x8GB), and DDR4-3200MHz CL16-16-16-36 64GB (4x16GB). Such extremely high speed on SO-DIMM modules are achieved with the use of the ultra-high performance Samsung B-die DDR4 ICs.


Big Performance, Small Package

At Computex 2017 in June, G.SKILL demonstrated high-speed Ripjaws SO-DIMM series at DDR4-3466MHz, and we are now once again raising the speed of the fastest SO-DIMM memory kit to the intense mind-bending speed of DDR4-3800MHz. Validated on the latest ASRock X299E-ITX/ac motherboard and the Intel® Core™ i9-7900X X-series Processor, extreme memory performance is now a reality with small-form factor workstations.


The following stress test screenshot shows the new DDR4-3800MHz memory kit in action with a total runtime of over 9 hours:

These new powerful SO-DIMM memory kit will be available through authorized G.SKILL distribution partners in early December 2017

Luzon Grid on Normal Operation

The Department of Energy (DOE) closely monitors the power situation in the country. Based on the latest report it received, the yellow alert status in the Luzon grid was lifted by the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) due to sufficiency operating reserves at 5:25 p.m. (Friday).

Tripping of the Pagbilao-Tayabas Transmission Line 1
According to the consolidated reports submitted to the DOE, the issuance of red and yellow alert statuses by the NGCP in Luzon started with the tripping of 230 kilovolt Pagbilao-Tayabas Transmission Line 1 at 9:04 a.m. This caused the isolation of Pagbilao Coal-fired Power Plant Units 1 and 2 in Quezon.

Other plants on forced outage at that time are: Calaca Coal-fired Power Plant Unit 2 in Batangas; GNPower Coal-fired Power Plant Unit 2 in Bataan; Masinloc Coal-fired Power Plant Unit 1 in Zambales; and, Sual Coal-fired Power Plant Unit 2 in Pangasinan. These incidents resulted in a total power capacity loss of 2,342 megawatts (MW).

At 09:53 a.m., only Pagbilao Coal-fired Power Plant Unit 2 went on line upon the availability of Pagbilao-Tayabas Line 1.

QPPL Forced Outage
At 9:57 a.m., the 456 MW QPPL Co. Coal -fired Power Plant in Mauban, Quezon tripped due to the vibration of the boiler booster pump. This resulted in an accumulated reduction of 2,416 MW of power supply in the Luzon grid.

The tripping and outages caused the initial power interruption in Luzon at that time. The Manila Electric Company (MERALCO) reported, however, that it immediately restored power supply in its franchise area at 10:04 a.m.

NGCP Issuance of Red and Yellow Alert
Because of these incidents, the NGCP issued a red alert status from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 nn and 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. The yellow alert status was also issued covering the period of 12:00 nn to 1:00 p.m., and 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

The derating of San Gabriel Natural Gas Power Plant in Batangas and Pagbilao Coal-fired Power Plant Unit 2 contributed an additional reduction of 422 MW. This brought the total loss of 2,838 MW capacity in the Luzon Grid.

At 12:00 noon, Interruptible Load Program (ILP) participants in the MERALCO franchise area have been advised and 68 ILP participants committed to deload a total of 111 MW.

NGCP Adjusted Alert Statuses
By 12:30 p.m., the red alert notice was lifted by the NGCP after Pagbilao U2 and San Gabriel were delivering at full capacity. The NGCP issued the yellow alert status from 2:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

At 2:53 p.m., QPPL Coal-fired Power Plant went online contributing more power supply to the grid. This eventually resulted in the lifting of the yellow alert status 5:25 p.m.

The DOE reminds the consumers that “yellow alert” means operating reserves have dropped below the required 647 megawatts (MW) contingency in Luzon, 100 MW in Visayas and 150 MW in Mindanao. “Red Alert”, on the other hand, means that the reserve left on the grid is regulating reserve or equivalent to 4% of the current demand and power interruption may occur.
