Work Live Power Lines.

Kenya Power Danger men at work

Production engineers we got a big problem. We must use designs that keep the cost of production at a minimum, efficiency at a maximum and meet our daily/hourly output targets. To do this we use wind, geothermal power, hydro-power, petroleum sources etc to work pneumatic, hydraulic, mechanical and electrical systems.  It thus goes without saying that disruption of electricity resulting to use of generators really serves a blow to the industries, to the engineers midwifing that new product, improving the quality of life. Use of diesel for long gets the environmentalists worried. You know this, emissions.

We should be ashamed of a notice of interruption of electricity. It is possible to work a power-line without cutting off the power. We understand the danger employees of Kenya Power are involved but accuracy and teamwork and a little investment on their protective gear works magic. for instance, material for such gears is available that will have the high voltages flow around them as opposed to through them  but then the economy might not be one to allow for such an investment. pose  these as challenges to other industries and these a stuff to be made right here in our country and cheaply.

Step out of the comfort zone into a precision zone. Let,s do the dangerous thing and avoid the dangerous consequences. Zero power failure should be the guiding principle. The standard. The importance of the manufacturing sector remains supreme. a pillar in the Vision 2030 blueprint.

Dress the Part.

The issue of the dress is a thorny one. Sparked by the expected. Those who know where the skirt pinches most. Apparently it seems to rub the part of the legs below the knees in then wrong way. Their mothers have won the clad for ages and maintain than if you wear anything shorter your better be on your way out to a home of your own. The majority of close knit African cultures have a provision for ladies covering themselves up. Below the torso being the most significant. Otherwise how do you explain bare-chested lasses in some communities? This still happens by the way.  Type this description in any search engine "African women dress." you are sure of the results "Elegant Top and full length Skirt. 4pc. sets with matching head wrap. perfect  for all occasion" trying to have our mothers that something new  has been found, fit to be worn even in a classroom needs another century perhaps.

The whole story of this piece of clothing, used to both provide dignity and for seduction purposes by some has unearthed a whole new side of our education system. That maybe nothing is left years after we are "done with it." Here is my point in a bid to explain and bring out picture of the clothe, not in anyway suggesting its bad but it is not what girls want, the Minister for education used some imagery. The nuns clothing. The man, one Mutula Kilonzo was immediately pounced on. I saw imagery. A stylistic device in the literature class. I am one to believe that these are not thing you plan to use but, later on as you as you look back you find oh! That's a simile I used there. That is euphemism. And the almighty sarcasm that will see some of us jailed if things continue as they are. I have diverged. Teaching is not my profession. Back to the skirt. A lot, a lot and I say a lot can be sieved and used to analyze a lot of issues and check on others.

"African women dress." you are sure of the results "Elegant Top and full length Skirt. 4pc. sets with matching head wrap. perfect  for all occasion"

It was said the minister's comments came at a time when a research by one of the research bureaus showed that a lot of men don't like mini skirts. It was at the same time that I stumbled upon a website on which, a report on the same mini skirts had been published. It showed that a lot of women wore these kinds of skirts during good economic times. Unfounded as it is, it is proof enough to show the kind of interest this has drawn.

And should we, leave out the urge by Kenyans to throw things out of proportion? Mention the word mini-skirt and everyone understands or perhaps the mind registers a micro-mini. Where did they see that? Tried it on in the privacy of their bedroom perhaps. I cannot understand the reason it cannot be a skirt whose hem is an inch or two above the knee. Something that comes out sexy sort of. Trashy is all we know. It is all we have seen worn. Very poor state of mind I say.

This is the part where I launch an attack. It is also the part where I get swallowed alive. What should be a young professional's code of dressing? It is usually a battle for supremacy where exclusively stuff meant for the runway finds its way to the classroom in our esteemed public universities. An attire comfortable  to watch a model with on in the comfort of  a screen but whoa! Come see the likes of Anita trailing (nobody in particular) through the male hostels, the proverbial whistle piercing through the air to the observers delight, shining a smile on the being walking away with the kind of a stir she can cause.

It is at the education complex of Egerton, education building of university of Nairobi to the OML of K.U you will find a wannabe business executive  seated on the bum alone since the skirt starts too late and  the accompanying fishnet stocking is playing a pair of trousers. It is in the laboratories you will find the lab-coat covering the entire body that you might think it's the only clothing. The men are not any better. The fly falling to the knees and we expect someone to take us seriously. Change the wet napkins first brother. It is not bad to dress that way but there should be a difference between your bedroom and the streets out here. A difference between when you mean business and when it's a weekend out. It has been joked that if some of our parents did an impromptu visit to campus, they would faint. Theirs daughters almost naked and their sons' hair blow dried. The swag-swaj thing is just a dead idea. It's an average kind of doing things, ending up in mediocre minds outdoing one another. Everything else that follows is average. An average boyfriend aping some dude in a music video. A girlfriend living beyond her means. I hold nothing against swag, in fact I like it (on someone else) if you are paid to swagger.

It is only in some private campuses that the issue of clothing is somehow enforced. How that is done I know now not. The comrades there dress the part. They are business like. Its not a wonder private universities are renowned for business courses. Producing guys that can be pushed to the board of companies and raise no eye brows. They are already comfy in the office attire. No 5 minutes break to that "ka-room" to check what feels to sag. No feeling of strangling by the string that is the tie- the greatest invention in the fashion industry. Productivity is the results of dressing the part. Some even in such a compelling environment to dress the professional you are still err and stray into the world of swaggnificent (what is the spelling?) Guys, its not connections the students have, it is the look to some extent coupled with a few convincing words and the papers that serve as the final blow to the recruiting panel. At least I am convinced there is some truth in that. Oh! Oh! Oops! I am not to so loved now.

Try infesting some of your cash in clothes that be won to an office. A single suit, perhaps a 3 official trousers or skirts. Half a dozen shirts or blouses. The famous "kolombos" I do not know. You decide on that. Like a teacher friend of mine , I am double sure a time will come when you will need to overhaul your wardrobe as you prepare for your internships like  he had to when teaching practice knocked.  Or lend a suit that will wear you to that interview. Why not be safe, balance your clothes in the right colours and design. I am a lousy fashion advisor I guess the reason I almost got abusive. Let's dress the job, the party, the hike as appropriate.

(This is my unedited article submitted and published on the 2012 Sept/Oct issue of the Comrades Reel.)

BEFORE AN UNCERTAIN 2013 WAS A PROMISING 2012

I am one of those biased reader of the Dailies. That has been passed down the line, from a father whose newspaper was Daily Nation and thus automatic that my pullouts- Young Nation most of the time- were from the same papers he read. I kept a collection. A neighbor kept Babu's  collection. Babu was that mag that came with the Standard. Knowing there was such a paper back then did subdue dad's influence.

Today, I treat my readers to the same biasness. Please accept my apology. while at that, i know this is coming quite late but that NjanNuary month had to die first - for personal reasons however. This is how the story goes. I was young and I had finally made up mind to pursue a career in manufacturing engineering in 2006. A form two then and highly influenced by alumni in the field. The same Daily nation was there, providing the information I thought I needed. The business news sections, one of my destinations- sometimes making me consider changing my stand on what I wanted to do. This was especially so when my sector, manufacturing, made it to the headlines and with  not so good news e.g "Assemblers beind driven out of business." That was a typical heading on a Tuesday 27 June 2006 DAILY NATION. Muna Wahome wrote on about how a few analysts had noticed the near total abandonment of the manufacturing industry by the government and  awhole lot of facts how a Mombasa based Associated Vehicle Assembly (AVA) would certainly lay off 140 workers. Something to do with south Africa an d Toyota had to do with a loss for AVA, which once assembled up to 10 makes of cars.

 This however did not come that blunt. It was with garnished with stuff that encouraged on to stick on and see what the future held. A Mr Bennet seemed to have a solution that the state can easily influence vehicle makers to invest in Kenya and create  an alternative hub. Optimism set in. And years later, this is advice that someone in some quarters of the govt might have taken seriously as the DAILY NATION wroteabout multinationals having a hub in Nairobi. I feel it has paid of to stick and stick and stick.

And now onto some of 2012 DAILY NATION hope-optimism-building news articles on the manufacturing sector: a clear show of the role of manufacturing to an individual level, to a group and the society at large. A push to a manufacturing trainee to head into 2013 shoulder high dripping with the urge to play a part. In no particular order and not entirely wholly, here is what the DAILY NATION had:

One, a pharmacist realized his dream to operate a medical centre. Paul Mwaniki's journey to success has been long and winding. His dream did not materialize until he went back to formal employment in a manufacturing firm, which enabled him to save. 2005- 2006, he had accumulated sh 1.2 million. As ca pital.

In another piece, a group of women at an informal settlement in Kisumu County were brought into the limelight. They are earning a living by making and selling unique products mae from fish skin . fish skin. Innovative I thought.

It was also in 2012 and reported by my obvious when "good rainfall helped power economic growth to a recovery in te 3^rd  quarter giving hope that he country could hit the projected annual growth rate…" And reason: "due to strong performances of Agriculture and forestry, fishing, manufacturing , transport and communication  sectors as well as a turn around  in the performance of the electricity industry," said Kenya National Bureau of Statistics. Heavy Rainfal also helped power generation with production of cheaper electricity expanding dramatically by 39%.

In addition to that, vast energy discoveries in Uganda and Kenya – estimated to be 5bn barrels or more – leaves many hoping the oil will ignite the East Africa economies.

In yet another business news section, cant remember the issue's date, Mukurwek-ini Wakulima Dairy Co-op Society members announced plans to take a Kshs 32m loan to purchase a package g line. "The society plans to construct an 80,000 litres processing plant in the local town.

Its still in that year that locally made gypsum building material (Hada & Maridadi gypsum products by Erdemarin International- a chinese firm)was launched. One of the solutions to Kenya's high cost of building is the availability of low cost domestically manufactured materials which have been known to be over 30% cheaper than the imported ones and sometimes more reliable. This, it came out, is expected to nudge more entrepreneurs in the construction business to focus more on manufacturing products locally.

While at that, the Govt, of Kenya of course, was looking for a strategic partner for the establishment of a fertilizer plant- with the overall objective being bringing costs to farmers  and to exploit the vast  East African Market. This was a record 3^rd attempt to establish a fertilizer plant.

Another that was not a first, Techno disclosed its plans to set up a handset assembly plant in Kenya by 2014- with the potential to reduce cost of phones for million of subscribers.while the talks with the Govt revolved around a possible tax incentive, also a training of an adequate labour to work at the plant is smile to the skilled and semi-skilleed population.

2012 saw a global private defence firm- Osprea Logistics- establish a military-vehicles manufacturing plant in Mombasa. More and more jobs to the citizens of the land.

 Foreign investors also flocked Kenya. I can go on on and on  on what relevant to manufacturing DAILY NATION. Here is the point I say lastly: world over countries are learning a great deal from the loss of manufacturing jobs China. Thank you 2012. This is particular so taking the example of Mexico were leaders are revamping their labour market to attract opportunities to Mexico as wags rise in China. They are also taking advantage of the new manufacturing capabilities – robots and computers- to re-import jobs back to the Americas.

Of Buy Kenya, build Kenya!

"The tradition has always been that the government imports expensive
furniture from outside the country..." This holds for everything else
the govt wants including maize grain, wheat, sugar and the list is
endless. What you have to offer can rot! Better, hand it over as a
donation. Makes me wonder, cant Kenyan citizens produce/manufacture
goods and offer expensive services that would woo the govt. I guess
there are those who serve the govt. Those with connections. I will
define these "connections." It's a noun for People who will chop the
juicier chunk you gunner from the public coffers such that you end up
with the earnings of a person that sold substandard goods (marked with
the mark of quality) to guys like, me, let's say.

With changing administrations, this is however fast but reluctantly
changing. The govt, through the Presidential Directive vide, the
circular OP/CAB.20/1/1of 1st March 2010 directed that with immediate
effect, procurement of furniture for all public offices be restricted
to furniture made in Kenya as one of the measures to support the
growth of industry domestically. I can't remember from where i read
this but you can take to the bank... That took place. I wonder what
else earned the "produce of Kenya/made in Kenya" immediate directive
to support the manufacturing industry "domestically."

This was a move that was to definitely see govt ministries,
corporations, parastatals and such consider local tenders when making
wood and wood-products purchases. "Consider!" I would have
anticipated the directive to "restrict" them to local tenders. It
would be selfish though. All isn't lost, as the directive can still be
viewed as (and is ) a move that would encourage the industry and
propel its to growth since it would have full support of the
government.
"Kenya wood products are not of poor quality after all" - Eng. John
Mosonik, another statement that you have my head for.I am of the
opinion that, a majority of us believe that everything imported (from
Europe, US e.t.c) is of superior quality to what is produced
regionally, considering that we are now moving towards the EAC common
market.

The future of Manufacturing isn't grim, the Ministry of
Industrialization was sometimes back said to have set up a committee
in every county to coordinate the industrial activities by
manufacturers in order to ensure high standards are followed so that
high quality wood products are made. My only worry is that this didn't
mean one more license to the players. Many are moves not aimed at
providing manufacturing promotion services yet we are promised the
possibility of jobs! job! jobs! "If I am President." How now when the
policies leave out manufacturing sector? When in the list of
priorities, production ranks lowest and citizens' businesses in
nobody's manifestos. all the same we strive.

Buy Kenya, build Kenya. An industry in Meru is making wine. The
Numerical Machining Complex is producing water pumps- Mavuno. At the
Kenya Railways' Workshops... I guess anything can be produced however
limiting the technology may be limiting, From lathes to nuts and
bolts.

Buy Kenya.

CONNECT, INTERACT, INTEGRATE. VUKA BORDER

Comrades during a photo session after the Lecture

 

Hon. Musa Sirma had a task, talking to the youths. "Youth in Kenya
have been urged to exploit the many business opportunities presented
by the East African Community (EAC) integration and start income
generating ventures that will make them self-reliant and enhance
national development," says JUMUIYA NEWS (issue 25 April-June), the
official magazine of the ministry of the East African Community
published quarterly.

According to EAC Minister, Musa Sirma, the EAC integration had brought
with it several opportunities. From a public lecture on Friday,
16/11/2012 at Egerton University topic being "Opportunities for
Universities and Youth Engagement"- Mr. Chege, a deputy director in
the ministry on behalf of the acting PS highlighted these
opportunities. They included: a 133 million people Market, Employment
opportunities, trade in goods and and services, increased
opportunities for higher education, collaboration in research to list
but afew.

For us, young professionals in training and youths in general, from
the 12 years old integration process, our opportunities come in when
we talk about the Common Market. A pillar in the EAC. Sell your
labour, goods and services in any of the 5 member states. The
Protocol, which is people centred and private sector driven, provides
for free movement of labour and persons plus the right of residence
among others. That soupped up with a Mutual Recognition of Academic
Professional Qualification is the best thing ever. This goes to say,
whatever the protocol provides for is not without responsibilities.
Architects and Accountants have had their MRAs signed. Meaning they
can register and practise in any member state. For engineers, their
MRA is at an advanced stage of Development.

And the message is clear "The Journey to the East African Integration
is on Course..."

Just to Have a Better View

Oh! my, oh! my , that has been along while since I was last here. A lot has happened, both obvious and historical. Obvious would be that I "neglected" this wall. No, that wouldn't be true. just took time off to look  at  things, let them roll out to give me a better picture. May be even define a path for me. A math teacher joked am at the most confused state in life. Career wise and generally, that if adults were to be called, I wouldn't go and neither if children were asked to come forth. That is serious.

With everybody downing their tools and absconding calls to their work stations, in the country this past September 2012, that was the start of my semester. Before that, engineering graduands- from Egerton and Masinde Muliro Universities- had a court case where they had Engineers' Registration Board of Kenya ERB(Ke) try justify their actions. We all are familiar with what transpired.... "ERB had no mandate to regulate courses offered in the public universities." That's what one of the national dailies quoted part of the court ruling as. But hell, the day of the ruling had been postponed until I thought those guys will one day show up in that courthouse to be informed that their file couldn't be found. Not to discredit UoN mechanical Engineering graduates, word has it they don't go for an industrial attachment, nonetheless, they are fit for registration as graduate engineers,with the technical bit largely theoretical.. I stand to be corrected. How now? Its said an engineer is a manager, and a manager possess three key skills. they are one, technical skills, conceptional skills and thirdly and last, analytical skills.

I strayed. Whern Prof. Mugah K'Olale and troop finally agreed on a no-intimidation style to return to the lecture room... An industrial visit was in the offing. CMC Motors was the place. Though, it sort of backfired, many filling it was more of a marketing thing than the Engineering that took us there, I did love  what one guy said. That ERB doesn't know what the Industry needs. Calling on us to be hands-on-engineers first, as opposed to the common notion that an Engineer is a behind the desk manager. With that, he guaranteed gainful employment.

Lots of inspiring talks went round as we moved through the six divisions of the company.

Days later after this visit,that's when news of a court ruling came round. But, we aint outta the woods yet. that ruling was for guys who graduated before The Engineers Bill 2011 was made law. But who cares for the new millennium having heard what industrial commanders  have to say... What the registered guys don't have to offer. Manufacturing is what every economy is trying to attain.

It Dawns On Me Now.- part I

Busy port of Mombasa with stacks of containers.

The last time I posted on this blog, I tried to briefly peep into the
world behind the dying operations in many industries. However, I could
only raise questions and speculation.

In a twist of events, they have been answered. Independently though.
Kenya Association of Manufacturers (KAM) in studies funded by Trade
Mark East Africa addressed "Challenges facing the business community"
plus the steps to be carried out. These were published in an
advertising feature in the Sunday Nation of July 15, 2012.

Revelations

Non-tariff barriers: inefficiencies at the port continue to hinder the
country's competitiveness as goods take over a month to reach their
destination, a move that has been exacerbated by the never-ending
non-tariff barriers and unreliability of the region transport system.
Businesses are choking even more with the sorry-state of the country's
roads, which are occasioned by cargo thefts and heavy traffic jams,
the study showed.

KAM says road transport is one of the

                    mediums through which non-tariff

         barriers continue to hinder business growth.

In general, NTBs lead to high costs of doing business, loss of cargo
and loss of business opportunities locally or export business with the
region or markets outside the EAC.

The study called on the following steps to be carried out:

• improved railway system. This will eliminate congestion at the port,

         weighbridge and roadblocks.

• manufacturers should lobby for expansion of inland container depots

         along the proposed standard gauge railway line

• lobby for full implementation of the EAC Common Market, harmonization

        of legal framework and all the trade facilitation agencies.

• enact an EAC Law on permissible weight for cargo and containers.

It's Still a Merry Pursuit: Manufacturing Engineering

Lots of deliberations within me. In fact fighting between a tinge of
laziness and a lustre of thought that won't be suppressed. Bammm!!! Am
writing.
It's with a sombre attitude I just to cancel an industrial visit to
one small enterprise that (used to) produce wheelbarrow wheels. A
call, from my sources, informed me that the factory had closed down.
That was after the brains behind it passed away. Dependants should
really learn these trades.
I had come to learn of the moulding factory in our usual stranger than
fiction stories dad 'eats' with me. #career development. Thanks dad.
Well, that incident just resurrected a lot more big industries that
stand in disrepair, and without any or much activity.
This goes back, way back, to a time I took a train through Dandora to
school. Among the many things i saw were industries. Leave alone the
huge electric power sub-station next to KPCU. One was EMCO. The
industry's initial still on that chimney. Overgrown shrubs, not so
much care on the building, and a rail line rusting lazily told of a
once beehive of activities. Not far from it, was the other. No name to
it. Again, its chimney piercing into the air above, smokeless throughout
my days in that train. Shrubs thickened and again another rusting rail
ran from the inside.
In college, and it seems the industries seem to have agreed to
frustrate the path they should tow. Industrial visit to the Kenya
Railways Workshops take place. Very equipped facilities only a handful
employees engaged in production. In their memories... ...days. Days
when the place was very busy. Semi-skilled workers machining, casting
and forging.
That's not the end. It's long vacation and the thought i should attach
myself some where kills. East Africa Foundry, Alloy Steel Casting. The
story is all the same. Activities are minimal and minor ones. Security
personnel at the gates talk. Of days.
I am thrown into the world behind the dying operations. Energy costs-
I think to my self. They keep on changing. Disrupting transport and
thus material and product movement, frustrating industries? Or what is
the story? Inadequate skilled labour? For legislation I may not know
what there is but it needs to be favourable. Manufacturers need to be
shielded from imports sailing in relactantly taxed. Incentives please.
Its a merry other side of the coin though. Kenafric Industries are
expanding. Keroche industries have taken to state of the art automated
machinery for production. KBL is still making profits. Kasuku cooking
fat is still around courtesy of Kapa Refinery. Brookside Dairies growing bigger.
That guy at Kariobangi Light industries still opens doors to  his small room
stuffed with 2 Lathes. We now have oil well- sons of Industrial and Energy
Enginering Department wait in the wings with baited breathes.
By the way, KDF is recruiting massively around the country. My plan.
To meet the 22nd July deadline, with an eye on the Eldoret based
ammunition factory of course. Maybe to handle materials, process

design or making a bullet.

Advances in Jihadist Bomb-making

Ibrahim Hassan al-
Asiri, a Yemen-based bomb designer affiliated
with al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, designed a new non-metallic explosive device that could be worn like a pair of form-fitting briefs. Once detonated, it could have punched a hole through the skin of the U.S.-bound aircraft the terrorists were targeting.

Luckily, AQAP provided this underwear bomb to a double agent, who turned it over to intelligence officials. U.S. and Saudi agents had been monitoring the plot for some time. Specialists who studied the bomb said it was more sophisticated than the one that Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab tried to detonate over Detroit in
2009.

I can say that on some occasions the manual search you experienced was so rote that you could have passed through security with a bag of grenades down your pants. And the devil’s workshop operating in Yemen under al-Asiri’s direction is the obsession of
counterterrorist forces worldwide precisely because it is focused on
designing a bomb that will defeat airport security.

Even the head of the TSA (Transportation
Security Administration)admits that its technology mightnot be able to stop innovative new bombs, it might be time to look at our counterterrorism spending priorities -- and focus more resources on stopping embryonic plots.

The Pursuit of a Good Life

The whole idea has never occured to me as a sexy one. Okay, nobody wants it that way apart from me maybe. When a system of education relies on competition neglecting the passions of those involved, what Julius Omondi
Descartez complains of here is bound to happen at the slightest of freedom in the system:

I've witnessed incompetency breeding among some of the "scholars" or rather students, in campus. I wonder what employees you will make in the future!

We soon took to the hot seat on the facebook post.

Me: fafanua

julius: ngojea time za exams

me: i wudnt rank that under
incompetency. i have a friend who got employed simply for his
love of karate, smthing that saw almost flop in
every exam

Julius: U havent asked, wat
about the exams, its not the results, Most guyz read when the exams are almost commencing, then
afterwards its over,

me: do i say i got that right
away? My guy took re-sits for that, not that
he was thick. The same employers will ask u 4
smthing else above those papers. I speak
for those being
'incompetent' doing smthing 4 themselves.


Julius: Ohw, ur case study could
just but be a drop of red paint on a black wall!!

Me: nope, no drop. Gauging by the no. of graduates
doing amazing stuff out
here for which they have no professional
qualifications 4, its a trend to do something on
the besides books. Hii ni
kenya. Examples unazo, johnie celeb, rubisco,
jookey blake, clemence, that guy hosting str8-
up, vicky betty etc

Julius: Take a look at ur list of
achievers, they are all talent based, bt give me
people who are earning
out of passion for what
they persued in
university, im sure its
less than a handfull,

me: c'mon! Its this talent u r calling incompetence.
And whats bad with talent based earning? This wasnt about the a
million 'people who are earning
out of passion for what they pursued in
university.' dont have to give a list. Whats your issue?


Julius: My issue is, someone spent
for yrs in campo, luckily got a job, coz the paper
is there, bt he/she cant practice wat he learnt, coz it as soon as the jar
was filled it was
emptied and never to be
filles again, bt he has to
masquerade as what he
ought to be, in the long run, its everything substandard, that he can produce,
incompetence!


Alescus De Misc: I thnk wat hppns just b4 exams doesn't in any way protray incompetence at
the field level.The problem is scarse field vacancies
that trigger compe n since employment is based on
merit then the
phenomenon is
expected.Blame the system.

Me: the flurry of activity nearing exam time where comrades really
turn pages doesnt equal lack of the required knowledge. You are very aware that relaying the
same info however correct but its not in the handout/notes can easily give you a fail. Comrades are right reading like they do- Law of Recency. Afterall, Attending classes
alone 4 anybody rightfully in campus should easily give u 50%
of what there is. You can easily single out who doesnt attend
classes and thats
within tolerable levels. A majority of graduands graduate
professionals.

Julius: @Alescus De Misc: i concur! the system it is, bt consider the fileds
where the respective expertise is scarce, those are the ones which the experience the worst cases of incompetency, @me, Law of
Recency?

Me: principles of learning. Thought thats what u
are talking abt mr?
Anyway, thats
baggase. The juice of the matter seems to slip of your hands. Find
your grip.

Am confused!
