Transmission Distribution Interface bottlenecks and strategies for improved grid Stability By Engr. A.S.A Bada CEO (TCN)
GRID INTERFACE BOTTLENECKS Major Causes include : Radial state of network Spatial network coverage Transformer Capacity Constraints Line Capacity Constraints Switchgear Conditions Grid indiscipline Distribution network Conditions Frequent trippings/Persistent faults
STATE OF NETWORK Radial State of network – Steps Taken: NIPP presently constructing the closing of the loop to Jos with a DC 330KV line Spatial Network Coverage – Steps Taken: 26No. Lines and Substation projects awarded in 2010 and 18No. Lines and Substation projects to be awarded before the end of this year (4 New substations to be constructed in the North Eastern part and 5 New Substations in the NW )
Transformer Capacity Constraints StationsAdded Capacity 1 Birnin Kebbi 330KV150MVA 2 Kumbotso 330KV150MVA 3 Ayede 330KV150MVA 4 Onitsha 330KV150MVA 5 Afam 330KV150MVA 6 Kantagora60MVA 7 Sokoto60MVA 8 Birnin Kebbi60MVA 9 Funtua60MVA 10 Katsina60MVA 11 Onitsha40MVA Steps Taken: On-going Capacity Strengthening Projects

LINE CAPACITY CONSTRAINTS Steps Taken: Gombe – Yola 330kV line has been energized 2 nd Benin – Ajaokuta 330kV line has finally been rehabilitated 3 rd Benin –Onitsha DC 330kV line to be commissioned soon Re-conductoring of weak and old lines (e.g Aba – Itu, Itu – Calabar, Afam – PH, Delta – Effurun, Ota - Papalanto) with higher thermal capacity conductors are in various stages.
OUTCOME OF STRATEGY MEETINGS #Drop down Sub. By WBankSource Line 1330/132KV Substation at Ogijo (Ikorodu) Egbin – IkejaWest 330KV Line 2330/132KV Substation at EpeOmotosho – Aja Line 3330/132KV Substation at New Kano Kaduna – Kano 330KV line 4132/33KV Substation at Choba - PH Omoku – PH Mains Line 5132/33KV Substation at Awkunanu - Enugu New Haven – Orji Line 6132/33KV Substation at KaltugoGombe – Yola Line
URGENT CONCERNS Too frequent 33KV trippings Inadequate notification of expansion projects
33KV TRIPPINGS FOR NOV. WK 1 # DISTRIBUTION ZONES TOTAL NUMBER OF TRIPPINGS TOTAL ENERGY Undelivered (MWH) 1 ABUJA1261, BENIN1254, EKO554, ENUGU20815, IBADAN191 4, IKEJA433, JOS711, KADUNA KANO PH1214, YOLA
MITIGATION STRATIGIES FROM DISCOs Submission of accurate data on customer population and installed capacity (MVA) De-loading of 33KV Feeders through network expansion Explore use of lattice towers for long 33KV Lines Due to inadequate generation power should be given to some feeders then transferred to the others over time RATHER THAN pro-lateral sharing of power on all the feeders at the same time
MITIGATION STRATIGIES FROM DISCOs Adherence to operational instructions Gradual phase out of wooden cross arms with fibre Movement of load on designated under frequency relays should henceforth stop Disciplinary actions should be meted out on erring staffs
MITIGATION STRATIGIES FROM DISCOs Supervising operators should henceforth be alive to their responsibilities Issuance of a circular from their respective CEOs demanding strict adherence to operational instructions
Further Key Transmission Grid Challenges Due to urbanization and environmental issues, it is becoming increasing difficult to acquire Right- Of-Way for new lines Increased power demand due to growth in industries and population Vandalization of transmission lines Adverse Weather Conditions Poor power quality Transmission grid upgrades cannot keep pace with power demand
STRATEGIES - Work is on-going on grid expansion. - Significant Investment is being made to effectively double existing capacity through the NIPP intervention -Line trace issues (mitigation against frequent line trips) have been taken more seriously with focus on contracting companies with requisite tools to work on difficult terrains -Frequency stability has been largely achieved with some units in Delta, Kainji and Egbin providing frequency support in form of reserve margins -Deployment of FACTS facility at strategic node of the network (e.g Kano, Gombe) -Work has commenced in deploying the Supergrid network

Hospital Management Center to Keep Several Simple Clinics Open
Despite recent reports and questions about patient safety the city hospital management center will keep the quick window services open since these services have helped patients get simple medicines and treatments at most city level public hospitals. Four out of the 11 city level public hospitals are not offering such services which is known as simple clinics
Shenzhen No. 3 People's Hospital and Kang-ning Hospital are the two out of the four hospital that doesn't offer simple clinics since the usually treat patients that have infectious diseases and those with suffering from mental illness. Shenzhen People's Hospital closed its simple clinic due to safety concerns while Hong Kong University Shenzhen Hospital doesn't have one since they are using a new medical model or better known as general clinics. But a lot of patients are saying that it was inconvenient for the Shenzhen People's Hospital to close its simple clinic since its one of the largest and busiest hospital in the city.
One patient said that even if he has medical insurance he only paid 1 yuan cash to register at a simple clinic to have his insulin shots, today he pays 18 yuan at a registration counter and wait in line more than an hour just to get his injections.
The hospital management center said that due to safety concerns they decided to close down these simple clinics. When they first opened these simple clinics they hoped that it will treat people with minor diseases faster and easier. But they soon found out that most of the patient's conditions changes fast and by giving them simple medication can cause medical disputes. Some hospitals even found out that some patients suffering from chronic diseases get medication at this clinics without even consulting a doctor.

Craiters by Alexander Fenton
Book DescriptionWritten in Northeast dialect as it has been used over the last six decades, the stories are about animals, birds and other creatures, and about Buchan life seen through a boy's eyes. The background detail and form of the language are entirely authentic, whether the scene is Buchan, Shetland, Edinburgh or further afield, and they record changing ways of life. This is a form of writing that is rare or unique in Scots, demonstrating to the full the creative potential of local dialect. Although engaging and easy to read, an appendix is included which analyses the language and spelling.

This is a really hard topic for me to bring up so please be supportive as I'm having a hard time trying to understand this all myself. I'm a single mother of 2 and not too far away from having number 3. I left a bad r/ship of 6 years at the start of the year and after a rocky start I finally started to feel like things where looking up for me when I met a really nice guy who I was seeing for a few months it had not got to a commitment stage and my kids had not met him but it felt like the potential was there to one day become something more Than what it was. As careful as we where i some how fell pregnant but the guy didn't want a bar of it and shut me out. His very slowly accepted it and We talk once every few months mostly small talk but he says he will be there for the baby but he has not been any help to this point and most of the time just pretends I don't exist,takes days weeks sometimes to text back to a baby update if he even texts back at all . I have been struggling secretly for some time as I Dont have a supportive family or anyone around me really. 2 close gfs but they have enough of their own struggles going on without me dumping on them. I put up a great front and on the outside it looks like I have everything together but I really don't and have hit such a Rock bottom that I'm falling apart. I have always been that person who goes through hell and comes out ok in the end and has advice for others through hard times , so talking to any one I know will be awkward as I don't want to be judged in any way or a burden . I work almost everyday of the week in a physically demanding farming job that i really shouldn't be doing whilst pregnant , under paid and can hardly make ends meet some weeks but push on coz I have no other choice. This pregnancy is one of those things everyone knows about it but pretends it's not happening it's not spoken of it's the taboo thing. I have been judged by family and I know people talk about it and hear gossips referring to me as some kind of trollop around town as it's not the most conventional situation to be In and in a small town people have not much else to do but gossip. I think that has what's lead me to this point. I feel like I'm having the nervous break down that's been a long time coming! I have defended myself for so long and I'm just tired of it and have taken everything to heart when I said it wouldn't get me down. I'm questioning if I should even be keeping the baby for myself or should I put it up for adoption? A family who has more to offer it than I can coz right now I'm worried if il even be able to afford to feed it. I'm feeling like I haven't got a bond with it like I had with my other children and almost built up a slight resentment over time for how this has effected everything in my life and that hurts so much. I don't want to feel anything but pure love for the baby that no one else wants in the world but me, I have fought against every ones wishes to keep it and now I'm
Wondering if it was the right thing? It's not the baby's fault at all. Has anyone ever had these sorts of feelings, is it just my hormones going crazy or maybe an under lying form of depression, or just being in such a horrible situation? I don't know but I don't feel comfortable brining it up at the dr yet it's all too hard to speak about. So just looking to hear if any one else is going through stuff alone, what got your through it?November 3, 2016 at 7:43 pm #7084BytheseapleaseParticipant
Well first of all CONGRATULATIONS on your pregnancy! You are doing it tough. This baby will have a beautiful chance at life because you have chosen life despite all you have come up against! IF this baby is anything like you, it will be one mighty person! Also, adoption is a real option, and as someone who has experienced years of difficult infertility, I often wish that adoption was easier in this country, and more people would keep their babies instead of terminating. There really are so many couples out there desperate to be parents, and very few babes to adopt due to the high rate of terminations in our country. Don't despair! It would be so hard to give up your child too, I think. I mean, you obviously do love your child you just have had little support and small town peeps can be so cruel! And your working so hard. I'm sorry this bloke has taken such little interest and responsibility! He has no idea of the beauty and joy he is missing out on.
Much love xxNovember 6, 2016 at 12:22 pm #7094ShewillriseParticipant
I am slowly learning to put my life back together and learning to be the author of my own becoming. My journey is documented here:
Please feel free to read, share and offer me some feedback. Thank you greatly xNovember 7, 2016 at 6:34 am #7097Katy HunterParticipant
Hi. Well I was in a very similar situation to yourself. I had my fourth baby to man who actually said he wanted the baby and then have heard nothing from him since I was 6 weeks pregnant. I got into a relationship with him after my husband died and very soon after. So, like you was judged mostly by my family who have shunned me for religious reasons.
My baby girl is one of 4..she is the most loved little bean…makes us all smile and has been the spark of joy we all needed. It has been tough at times,there's no doubt there. I am on my own with my four kids and know just how isolating being a single parent can be. My advice, talk to your friends. I am like you, the strong one but your friends will feel awful if they can't be there for you when you need them. It's a two way thing friendship. Your hormones wil be going completey nuts right now…give it time. No decisions need to be made now.
Keep talking on here…let it all out.
Much loveNovember 17, 2016 at 10:35 pm #7166ElenaParticipant
I never knew people still have powers and make things happen this way. My name is Elena Alexandra, my Husband Alexandra left me for another girl for three months ever since then my life have been filled with pains sorrow and heart break because he was my first love , A friend of mine Stephanie told me she saw some testimonies of this great Dr. Luke Lele Spell Temple that he can bring back my lover within some few days, i laugh it out and said i am not interested but because of the love my friend had for me, She consulted the great priest on my behalf and to my greatest surprise after three days my Husband called me for the very first time after three months that he is missing me and that he is so sorry for everything he made me pass through. i still can't believe it, because it highly unbelievable it just too real to be real. Thank you Dr. Luke Lele for bringing back my Husband and also to my lovely friend who interceded on my behalf, for anyone who might need the help of this great priest you can contact the great Herbalist and a spell caster on firstname.lastname@example.com 22, 2016 at 5:32 am #7442ArabrabParticipant
You are very very brave.
I have been in a very similar situation. My baby girl is now 2. I love her so much. It took time to fall in love with her. Until recently I still felt resentment towards her. Its gone now completely although things are still often very difficult. I felt like coming to terms with being pregnant with her was like a bereavement. I grieved for the loss of the life and freedom I had. My son is 12. My financial situation had become quite strong and I was completely and independently able to look after him. That has all changed now. I take each day as it comes. I bought a second hand jogging pram and meditate while I run. That is what saves me. I check the weather the week in advance and make sure we get out when it is good. I feel judged. Being a single mother twice, but I know longer care about that. I take pleasure in the small things.
I am just about to start trying to build a network with other single parents for mutual practical and other support. Could you do something like that? I think it is very important for you to share how you are feeling with those who care about you. This has saved me. People have been so kind to me.
Things are often hard for me now but I creatively find ways to be kind to myself and I know that in a couple of years things will be a lot easier when my little girl is older. I am becoming stronger .
I wish you all the best. You are very brave and people will be kind to you because what you are doing is ammazing.

In Reply Dr Paul and colleagues question our decision to exclude observational studies that did not perform statistical adjustment for illness severity or comorbidity when assessing the association between time to initiate antibiotic therapy and mortality. All studies meeting eligibility for this question were observational in design and had a high likelihood of confounding by indication (ie, patients who were more severely ill would be more likely to have antibiotic therapy initiated rapidly). Therefore, we considered it imperative to focus the review on studies with adjustment for such confounding.

The F Club - London's Premier Swingers Club reviews
27 Dec 2010
Went last night (Boxing day)having previously been to the old premises. Whilst the downstairs has yet to open, a lot of thought appears to have gone into the layout upstairs - its a better atmosphere / decoration than the old place.
The issue last night was the cold - no one had put the heating on until it opened! Given it was a swinging club where it is normal to take your clothes off - people were keeping their coats on! As for the toilets, it was so cold you could see your breath! Whilst there are no jacuzzi's, it appears that they are putting in a shower in each of the toilets - so presumably there will be an opportunity to shower at some point although if it remains that cold no one will be using them!
We will be back, the layout is good and hopefully it will be warm enough to have some fun next time.

American Power in the 21st Century by David Held
Book DescriptionAmerica wields a combination of military, economic and cultural power that many consider unprecedented. The way America uses this power has repercussions on every major issue of world affairs, including the prospects of regional security, the spread of democratic governance, and the provision of global public goods in economic and environmental domains. This volume explores the questions raised by American power from a variety of perspectives. Is the emphasis laid on military power likely to be self--defeating for the United States in the long run? Is "soft power" or persuasion a more effective way to promote American interests and goals? How is American predominance perceived in Europe, China and the Arab world? Will it last or will other powers coalesce to resist US hegemony? The authors address these and other fundamental questions in rigorous and historically sensitive analyses of this critical juncture in global politics. The book will be of great interest to students and scholars in political science and international relations, as well as all those concerned with and by one of the key topics of our time. Contributors include: Robert Cooper, Michael Cox, Zhiyuan Cui, Abdelwahab El--Affendi, G. John Ikenberry, Robert Kagan, Mary Kaldor, Joseph S. Nye, Thomas Risse.

I have to spell my surname ten times when I make appointments etc. it then takes the person 10 years to pronounce it the right way. I don't know why. It's a rather simple surname to say.
I was just glad to get rid of my dads surname when I got married. It was nice not to have that link to him.

Chime For Change 2013
The Kardashian and Jenner collective are a family that holiday like no other. Endless Instagrams, private jets and, of course, an abundance of glamour are expected when the world's most famous family touches down. We recently saw the clan visit the Greek Island of Mykonos, soaking up the Mediterranean sunshine in true celeb style and causing a social media frenzy!
Get your Kardashian inspiration here...
Kim and Momager Kris jetted off to Dubai in 2011, with Kim declaring it one of her favourite holidays to date. Visiting as part of a promotional tour, the trip included a four-night stay at the ultra-glamorous Atlantis Hotel, a landmark on Dubai's glamorous Jumeirah Beach. Although Kim and co didn't hit the beach, Jumeirah Beach is perfect for those wanting to top up the tan in beautiful surroundings. The two did manage to visit the huge Dubai Mall, and also found time to swim with Dolphins. Kim loved it so much she tweeted 'obsessed with Dubai'.

Like The Joy Of One Heart That Your Love Has Set Free
Featuring Dennis Jernigan Posted on February 7, 2010
"…Like the joy of one heart that Your love has set free…"
When I think about all God has done for me I can easily become overwhelmed. I deserved death and hell for my sin…but I received forgiveness and hope and cleansing and restoration and a family and a ministry and a home -and the list is endless. For far too many years I was a prisoner in an inner prison, locked away in the recesses of my mind due to my own wrong thinking. Then one day, the Lord came bursting through the door of that prison and knocked it completely off its hinges…and then began to tear down every single wall that defined that prison for so long! What joy! When I remember all He has done for me I am drawn to even greater depths of intimacy with Him. Gratitude is the foundation of that joy and gratitude is the sustainer of that joy and gratitude is the vessel upon which I send that joy back to the Lord and to others. Joy comes when we know the ending of the story is a good one…and I know mine is grand! Who knew a prison break could be such a good thing?!
What are some of the walls that need to be dealt with in the prisons of your life? Spend time today allowing the Lord to tear those walls down and to rebuild an altar of gratitude in their places.
The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me,
Because the LORD has anointed me
To bring good news to the afflicted;
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to captives
And freedom to prisoners…
Isaiah 61:1 NASB

Interesting chapter. The research you did paid off!
| control of chaos chapter 4 . 3/24/2013
I know I may be a little late to the game here, but please don't abandon this story! I just read the first part, and now I'm at this point, sitting in what will probably be a long wait before my plane can take off (because when you think March, you think snow) wondering what a burnt body would smell like, would look like, would feel like. And I know how long it takes to plan these stories, being a writer here myself, and I can't let that go to waste. Especially when you cared enough to live us a cliff hanger.
Which brings me to wonder, are cliffies like magic? We say that they are evil, like Uther condoned magic, but can they be used for good? Will the reactions of those irritated enough at this horrible cliff hanger be enough to bring back your spark to write this story?
*bambi eyes* Please?

Investigators are sifting through the debris of a house destroyed in an explosion that killed a toddler and injured 17 other people in New York.
Authorities returned to the scene Wednesday in the middle-class neighborhood of Brentwood on Long Island.
Fire Department Inspector Robert Kuehn says an initial investigation indicated the blast "could be gas-related." A police official says two 200-pound propane gas tanks were on the premises, but no natural gas lines were present on the block.
On Tuesday, the entire structure was reduced to small shards of wood, plywood, drywall, insulation and other materials. The air conditioners in one neighbor's home were blown out and a window was knocked out of its casing.
The 18-month-old boy's parents were among those injured.

text: Just wondering what kind of message or special service you will be having related to Thanksgiving. I am working on Psalm 34. I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. (Psalms 34:1, KJV). Will start out by asking when we should praise the Lord, and writing them on a White board. That will keep these thoughts before them the whole time. My message will be short, as I like to give people a chance to publicly give thanks to God for something or someone.

In an exciting but frightening transition from our desktops to a more virtualized way of handling our files and programs, Tonido seems to be the beautiful compromise between the two.
It allows you all the flexibility of having your documents and files accessible from anywhere via a URL you create, with the security of having them still stored safely in your computer or external harddrive. The Tonido website, is a cloud-based gateway where you create an account which will then allow you to access all of the files on your Windows, Mac or Linux computer from anywhere, even some phones, and use all of the features they have installed on their cloud.
This week, we will be giving away 20 WebShare Pro licenses and 4 Tonido Plugs, worth $700 in total. Find out how you can win one!
Some of the features of Tonido include:
- The Tonido Workspace, which allows you to manage your calendar, contacts, tasks and files from anywhere.
One Click Webshare and Tonido Photos, which allow you to share your files (even very large ones) with family and friends or create photo albums open to the public. All of the sharing can be done with one single click, which creates the URL, allows you to choose who can see it, or if it will be public to anyone and view the history (who has seen the files).
It even allows you to set a date for the shares to expire, which means you can set the files to only be available for a certain period of time.
No more concerns about how to email that large file to your co-worker or how to send grandma the new video of Johnny taking his first steps without having to upload it to some public site.
A Jukebox, so you can stream all of your music from any computer or from your phone.
- "Thots", which are blog like journals that can be made live, like any other blog or shared with your friends and family only.
- A web based Torrent Client.
Money Manager, which is a recent addition to Tonido. It is a free personal finance software. It allows you to keep track of your stocks and assets, create categories to better manage your finances and manage your bank accounts. It has enough features to give some paid services a run for their money.
- Tonido Back Up. One of the greatest features of Tonido is that you can easily create backups of your files on other computers, no matter what file or operating system. It's always a good idea to have a back up in a location other than where your main files are. That way, in case something happens at that location, you can retrieve your so important files from another computer. The back up feature simply copies all the files from Tonido to another computer with the click of a button. Think how simple changing computers or copying all your files to a laptop or remote computer can be with that feature.
Files also load with incredible speed on Tonido. I have used remote access programs, but what they do is display your desktop on another screen. The problem with that is that the whole desktop and remote software must load on the remote machine. That uses huge amounts of resources. At best you get a very slow machine. Tonido doesn't work that way. It literally is a dedicated cloud system connecting you to your files. So they get listed immediately and load incredibly quickly, with minimum impact to the computer's performance.
One great companion to the Tonido software is the Tonido Plug which is a little box, that can be connected to any USB or thumb drive and serve as an external server and NAS device that can be accessed from any remote computer using your account URL. The little box (which costs less than $100) is a power efficient green computing device which comes pre-installed with all of the Tonido applications. It is based on a 1.2 GHz processor which runs the Tonido software on top of Ubuntu Jaunty Linux OS.
Setup takes about 30 seconds and once set, you can leave the plug attached to the hard drive and still access all your files or upload files to the hard drive without the need for a computer to store them. That is in itself worth the plug for me.
All in all, Tonido seems to be ideal for those of us who love having access to our files but who also want to know they are not stored in some server somewhere; users who want to be able to share our files without concern for security and without having to upload them to various servers with size restrictions. And users who want to be able to listen to our music from anywhere or be able to update our financial information on the go.
In a world that is now being changed by cloud computing, Tonido seems to be one step ahead with a new wave: The personal cloud"¦
To get a jump start in personal cloud computing, we're giving away 4 Tonido Plugs and 20 Webshare Pro accounts (view Pro features here) worth $700 in total. The Tonido Plugs will be sent to the winners anywhere in the world via FedEx.
How do I become a winner?

With such an awesome review , who would not want it..
Wow....Just what I need - some of my clients would love this.
I would like to win so that i could learn more about cloud computing.
I would like to win because I am all about green, and of the believe that the OS wars are over (with 'the cloud' and products like Tonido).
It's all about PaaS (Platform as a Service) - and MakeUseOf rules!
I would like to have this software first because the whole cloud concept is fascinating to me. My use would be for my business. It would make it easy for me to share ALL my files between the MANY devices that I'm forced to use in my everyday life.
I suppose the technology is of interest but the need or want is not compelling. Like knowledge, the value only comes from its use.
It would be a great Easter Gift if i get this. :-)
It would be a great Easter Gift if i get this. :-)
My comment didn't show, although I did it well before 2100hrs PST.
Please still consider adding me to the competition
Because i dont know anything about dropbox. I want to know abut it
Love that the Plus is small and portable.
Love that the plug is small and portable. Why doesn't my comments appear?????
Love that the plug is small and portable.
I just set up Tonido and am already sharing files and listening to my music! A great app!
I'll never win
I would like to win because I am a consultant in Virtual Working who test lots of tools and suggest these products to my clients. I have lot of following in social bookmarking sites and my reviews can have impact on branding of these tools. I get many direct invites to test these software before they to go public beta or released as trail versions.
I would love to win as I have many applicable uses both personally and professionally.
Accessing files and educational resources from any computer at anytime from any school would be a big plus in my role. I'm excited about the potential uses :)
My stuff. Up in the cloud. AH-SOME. Wanna winit please!!

It would be awesome to win something like this. I never ever win anything ever.
Maybe this time I can win something
I work in IT and regularly need access to data I have stored at home. This program looks like an awesome option to make my life easier!
This looks like a really cool program. How cool is that? I would love to try it out and just see what all I can do with it.
Then I can pass along just how great Makeuseof is along with kudos to the makers of Tonido.
Tonido ROCKS!!!
Neat! I want the Plug-in cloud computer too. Has anyone ever tried to plug in a cloud?
I would love to get a jump on all the others with this Cloud Computing, am a heavy user and like to 'make use of' everything ergo need to visit this site daily , ALWAYS useful stuff
I'd love to have that. I'm allways away from the office and would love to have access to my documents without having to keep outdated copies everywhere on my flash drives. I use google docs and sky drive, but this looks better. Let's see if I get it, I will gladly write a review of it!!! Thanks for the chance.
Tonido has great potential for non-profits which by definition live in a collaborative (cyber) world.
Who WOULDN'T love to have their very own personal cloud???!!!!!!!! How cool!!!!!!
Would love to make use of this... No more lugging around HDD's of stuff, just a netbook and internet access and it's all sweet.
I think many of my clients would find this device of interest to them, as well.
I would love to win because Tonido is just what I need . . . but can't afford.
For all the computers that my family and I use, this would be great to win!
Tonido has some great organization products. I definitely lack in that department and need Tonido to straighten me out.
would love to win this
So, I don't use Facebook (because of horrendous security issues), I am out of luck?
make me win. Me need one...
I use 3 different computers and it would be great if I could access the other two..
Seems like a good way to access files.
This would be a great way for sharing files, and file backup in mu local network.
I'm working full time and running 2 other businesses on the side. I'd love to have some way to have all my files on all the different computers accessible all the time. Never mind keeping track of all the contacts, and pictures, and financial data...oh my!
Am going to be really frank :) I want to win because I LOVE free stuff! And winning swag will make me feel like a real celebrity and not just a celebrity in my own head!!
I've tried the Pogoplug but now I would like to have more fun with plugs and the Tonidoplug is more versatile. The only thing holding me back is the $99, that's where you come in :)
Trying to win once more.
I don't really get what the Tonido Plug does, but I use several different cloud services for files as I travel around to a lot of different computers. It'd be awesome to have it all in one place and be able to listen to music at school and drown out the annoying chick in my class, even when I forget my iPod.
I would like to move my business in the direction of cloud computing or more virtualization. This app looks great!
I love the idea of cloud computing. I just had a hard drive on my pc bake and lost everything! I know. I know. Got a new MacBook Pro and this would be a great way to protect and share my stuff and not be completely controlled by Apple. I also have an Iphone. Can't afford to spend any more money for their version of cloud computing, MobileMe. Thanks guys for the consideration!
It's a great app. I'd love to have one :)
Tonido looks like a pretty nifty way to incorporate "personal' with "secure" cloud computing. I can imagine several ways to use Tonido (music, finances, contacts, photos, projects), & I'm sure there are many more.
Great ideas! For ideas on how you can take charge of your own health care costs, check out Whatstherealcost.org.

Excelente artÃculo, Tonido me ha resultado muy útil y es cada vez más práctico. Gracias
I'd Like to give this to my mom. She wants a dead simple way to share pics and back them up
i would like to win because i am a student and i have to research a lot of things and i can't afford a pro account (i live in Pakistan), so if i win, that would be a real blessing for me.
Thanking you in advance,
Faizan Munir.
My family and I have a fairly diverse collection of hardware on my home network using Mac's, Windows PC's and various flavours of Linux. A Tonido plug would be a great cross-platform way of sharing our media library!
This is just a new & fantastic/freaking technology I have ever seen, who-ever have seen this thing would just fall in love with it & can't live without it and you guys always rock in any kind of new things comes to the internet-world, it is either a useful website or a useful device YOU GUYS ARE THE HYPE MAKERS.
I need this very much i am in skul and sharing computers is such a task many a times your files get lost and this will help much
this sounds like a great way to be able to access files while travelling. i've never tried the "cloud" before ... thinking i'd love it.
I like to have my files and docs accessible, safe and easy to move (like the Kindle for books). Tonido is already set up on my netbook for testing and it looks promising.
Ive never tried cloud computing software before so id love to give it a go. this is my first muo giveway so i hope i win.
I would like to test out the Cloud Computing Features this Company has to offer. I have wanted to try out Cloud Computing for a long period of time now. And I believe this would allow me the opportunity to do that.
Wow, this would really help me with college! I'm disabled and can't carry 40 lbs of books with me every day. This way, I could use the digital textbooks and my netbook to access my study materials, no matter where I am! Please, make my studies easier!
I'd like to win the TonidoPlug, because I am a Sr. Systems Engineer for a large company, as well as the Deputy Supervisor for Systems Services. I have a say in what we do, and what we can look at purchasing. I also have a vast network at home, with more than 6 computers currently attached (and a thin client about to be connected).
I use Dropbox along with Tonido currently to create the ultimate sharing/syncing/backup/online computing environment, and I would LOVE to supplement it with TonidoPlug.
I also love to write reviews, and recommend products. In fact, my website (www.learnaboutlinux.net) has some reviews and tutorials, and my Twitter page (twitter.com/JoeLinux117) has plenty of tweets about Tonido and how great it is. I am a big open-source junkie, and run Ubuntu on all of my home computers. I am THAT type of personality, so when I find a great product that few may know about, I really spread the word.
I would love to have easy access to all of my projects and related things remotely (Android development, Python/Django development, streaming media, etc.).
And biggest reason of all, I can almost guarantee that if I get a TonidoPlug, I will find some really cool (and typically productive) method of using it that nobody has thought of before. And then I'll write about it ;)
And if not TonidoPlug, I'd still be happy with Webshare Pro.
As an IT Consultant, once a week I travel between two towns and I use different computers. That's why I like to win Tonido.
I'd like to win because I constantly explore the latest technology that can contribute to lifelong learning, especially for college students.
id like to win, since the tonido plug would enable me to easily access my files and projects when i am at school and need to get something from my home computer

I travel A LOT and really need a way to easily manage my files wherever I go!
Beyond all must-have gadgets, tablets and pads, cloud computing is what really is making a difference. Be it Dropbox or any of the gazillion other services, that backup, transfer, stream or even manage our files.
This one seems very promising, would love to win!
I've been using Tonido for several months and have recommended (and installed) Tonido on several of my friends and associates computers. Tonido makes my life so much easier. Having the ability to access all my files from any location is the best. I also use the "Thots" and photos features to keep in touch with family members. Tonido is everything I need in one application. Couldn't ask for anything more - except maybe winning a Tonido Webshare Pro license and Tonido Plug. Thanks for developing such an exciting and incredible product.
I'd like to win because it will help me as a poor college student for when i move to a different state.
Would LOVE to win this!! I use computers in many different locations due to work, so being able to have everything on the cloud would make my life so much easier!
Crossing my fingers that I win. I'm constantly on the go and this would be GREAT!
I would like to win because normally, i have no use for the giveaways that MUO has had before, and this looks like something i could use n_n
My hard drive is lonely and needs something to play with.
let's roll the dices!
I was not aware of your site until now. I have heard about other cloud sites and yours looks pretty good! Thanks!
I was not aware of your site until now. I have heard about other cloud sites and yours looks pretty good! Thanks!
I'd want to win because I switch computers a lot. Two at home, work, school. This way I could have a hub linking my data between all of them.
I love to try cloud computing software.
Thanks for all your efforts & giveways.
I'm starting a business and would like to make use of cloud computing to communicate with my clients. Tonido sounds like the way to go for privacy and security.
I'd love to win this giveaway!
I love to try cloud computing software.
Thanks for all your efforts & giveways.
I've heard about Tonido and Tonido Plug and would love to try them out. I love learning about new technology for the home and small business.
Need to utilize Tonido's PRO feature.
Need to utilize Tonido's full feature.
Hi, Great contest, Tonido provides all necessary to share files over the net securely.Allows easy access from any device with a Web browser. Tonido Workspace makes collaboration easy with great persepectives.

Why I'd like to win? I've always been a technology whore. I've decided to cut down and I've powered off the rack in the garage. I miss having a simple app/file server and think that the TonidoPlug would be just wicked awesome for that.
i would like to use this awesome product as it will give me access to my music any time anywhere
I'd love to win as it will help me with my college projects and assignments
I am a huge proponent of the cloud, and have worked with clients to push more of their apps towards the cloud. I like what opportunities Tonido presents.
Nice job,
Nice article,
The best website,
I have been watching the progress of plug computing for a while and love the idea of the low energy device, with the extensibility to add multiple hard drives and devices. Also the ability to have a media sharing device on the local network that is not my desktop. All it needs is the ability to run security camera software.
This is very cool. It's something just for me who is lazy but want to catch up the pace of the age.=D
Personal could could be useful for me who has a lot of digital device. Well geeker=D
Good luck all the guys!!
I have files spread across multiple computers, and it seems as if the file I need is never on the computer I'm using! Such a pain to VNC in (through firewalls and on slow connections), dig through the files (hoping that this is the right computer) and then emailing it to myself...
Love to win...because in between using different computers and being in different places, it is next to impossible to keep everything up to date and together...so I spend a huge amount of time and energy looking for and trying to use different solutions that just don't quite do it.
just jumped into the givaways need Tornido to run my personal cloud ...
..because it's multiplatform, mobile, and a good software concept. i also love the eco part of the plug
I have been looking for a NAS solution, and this looks like a great solution.
I would like to win this to be able to let all of my friends who I recommend your site to know that real people do actually win this stuff!
I could definitely use this for streaming music and sharing files with family and friends!
Looks fascinating - clouding to the max!
Hmm... it should have been a problem with the comments. My first post appeared just after I wrote the second. Can you, please, delete the first comment I posted and this one you are reading now? Thanks, I want to be fair.;)
I would not just like, but love to win a Tonido Plug because I'm already using Tonido's services (more exactly since September 2009) and I always dreamed for the Tonido Plug: it's the cutest gadget ever!
If you would like a more complicated answer, here we go... I'm a website designer and I always have to switch between the desktop PC, between the NetBook and the MacBook, which is horrible when you're not home! Arrgh...
I love Ubuntu and I also love the idea that Tonido Plug comes with Ubuntu 9.04 Januty Jackalope on it... Linux fits perfectly with Tonido's vision of portability. I hope the awesome guys at Tonido will upgrade to Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx when it will be released.
If you read this post you probably consider choosing me, right? Thank you very much anyway... I hope I will win someday a MakeUseOf giveaway, of course I prefer this one but... isn't everybody saying the same thing?
MakeUseOf rocks!:)
i want to win and use tonido to solve world hunger
I'd like to win this because I simply need to get more organized... I have lots on files on my PC, lots on my NetBook and lots on my MacBook, but I never have everything I need together.
Plus that Tonido Plug is the cutest gadget possible.:)
By the way, Miad Uddin should be disqualified for multiple posts.
I would love to have one of these!
Amazing, I really need
Love it and am frightened by it! The value of this give away is more than priceless...the availablity of anything I want, anywhere I want it is fantastic!
I'd like to win to set up a PIM system that works for me and my wife, whether we're at home, at work, or even out and about...
This sounds full-on top drawer.
I want it I want it I want it (repeat ad nauseam)
Oh, why'd I like to win? Aside from the fact that it sounds brilliant in and of itself, because I teach EFL in a uni in Seoul, and the "One-Click Webshare" would be outstandingly useful for sharing files, doing class projects, and giving feedback.
i would like to win because i want to access my PC with my mobile phone.
I'd love to win because our organisation manages and markets Game Lodges in Southern Africa's Transfrontier Parks. These are all community owned ventures that need to leverage the best of modern technology to generate tourist income. Situated in desolate wilderness areas we have satellite links with the Lodges that allows the staff and community to access the Web. Effective file sharing, data backup and communication will be enhanced with a product like Tonido. See our Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/xaus.lodge as an example of the Bushman community-owned venture meeting the internet.

I'm in search of the ideal cloud computing solution.
I am a designer and teach graphic design subject on some universities. On my lecture, I always share to my students the importance and benefits of technology to the graphic design world. Before I read this article, I already used some online tools that offers similar services Tonido does. So if I win this, this will be absolutely a great and useful tool that support my daily work and also a useful idea to share to my students.
I'll like to win coz..
i being fan of cloud computing... and thus want to try this product and promote it..
to whomsoever it may be useful..
I m really short of harddisk space and have a never ending list of downloads. Just wanted to use it to backup all those games and videosand ... and... infinitum.
Another reat Giveaway.
Nice Going On MUO.
Sorry, To Comment ASgain But My Facebook Profile Address Above Is Wrong. It's - http://profile.to/mayankag/
Really Sorry For The mistake.
We've deployed and tested our application on several Cloud Environment(Amazon EC2, GoGrid, FlexiScale etc.) and not yet decided on one permanent service.
Would love to try this one for free.
I have been interested if finding all the application listed above. Not too sure which program would be the best for me.... but since they are all one, or at least the same company they will all be similar to use. Would be great.
My clients keep asking me about cloud computing and I need to get more real world experience with it. I love the plug computing idea and have been wanting to play with it.
I have one of the 1st gen Pogoplug units. Looks like Pogo & Tonido use the same underlying technology. I'd like a Tonido to write a bakeoff article for MakeuseOf.
Great security and accessiblilty option for peace of mind.
What a cool app! I love to test new Internet sites and apps.
Looks like a great "peace of mind" system!
This is just the incentive I need to keep my backups current, no more hassling with external drives! And it would be terrific having access to my files from anywhere!
Im going to use these cool gifts for my studies! I have a lot to learn from these :D
I'd really like to try this cloud computing out so it'd be cool to win =)
This will surely help feed my online addiction :D
(...and allow me to safely & easily upload videos of my first steps online. You *do* want grandma to feel included with the family, don't you? :P)
I love this. Looks like a much enhanced version of the pogoplug.
Great Giveaway! I have been looking at these for a few months and could use the plug for my small business office. We struggle to find consistent ways to share content, keep everything secure, and access our files remotely... and *POW*, out of no where, Make Use Of has a giveaway. We are tight on budget and this would be a fantastic prize to win! Thanks.
it is a lot safer than trying to have it on the only computer that you have.
It would be great to have my files stored safely on the cloud.
I really want one! Plus, I never win anything... :(
I teach technology to high school students as well as the yearbook adviser. I have longed for a solution to storage that would allow our content to be accessible anywhere. As a member of our tech committee this could be a building wide solution.
looks great
Awesome! I use logmein everyday so that I can access my computer from work to get and put files so that I don't have to use other means, but it isn't as seamless as I would like. I have also been wanting to set up a server at home to allow all of the numerous computers in our home to share files (data, music, video, etc.). This would not only allow that, but much, much more.
I'd love to win in this giveaway because as a professional musician and music educator being able to access files and learning materials from any computer would make my job a lot easier. This technology seems amazing and I'd love the chance to try it out for myself so thanks for the giveaway opportunity ;-)
I'd like to win because I've been looking for months for a solution like this, and I can't afford one right now.
Hoping to win.
me too
this would be neat!
Liking the cloud computing
I wanna win so I can stream music to my iPod Touch!
I'd like to win because I would rule the world (or, in local terms, Brazil) if I could access my data anywhere! Mua-ha-ha!!!
I would like to win because this would be useful at work and school. I enjoy testing/using new software/apps. I look forward to hear back for the team!

Just found your site today - really interesting. Thanks for the contest!
I need a tonido plug!!!
Whoops ... here's my Facebook too!
http://www.facebook.com/jeremy... (you might not be able to see my posted items though!)
Whoops ... here's my Facebook too!
http://www.facebook.com/jeremycaverly (you might not be able to see my posted items though!)
I would like to win cause besides the fact that I´m a heavy computer user/addicted that uses cloud computing a lot. And as a Information Security Consultant cloud computing is one of my main study subjects. :)
Best regards,
I didn't know there is a product like this, its absolutely perfect just with one tonido plug i got everything i want
Cloud computing is the next up and coming way of storage/sharing. I love technology and staying ahead of the game! Thanks for the opportunity.
I'm winning because I want to live in a world where I never want to ever download anything. I want everything in the cloud. I want all my music, documents, movies, and pics all in the cloud and accessible from anywhere. In my lifetime I would really like to see a world where I have a gigabit connection everywhere I go.
I've been looking for a good personal cloud computing solution that allows me to control how and where information is stored.
Because I'm using linux, windows and mac and my files are all over the place. It would be wonderful to have it in sync with my personal and work computer (and phone :-)).
I need this badly... And I've still haven't seen any winners from Norway yet. Could be great to be the first one
I really need this because i travel a lot
I could REALLY use this!
Will I win this time? I sure hope so. But I say that every time.
Because it freakin' rocks!
I make extensive use of the cloud for much of my work supervising individuals who are spread across our State. While my Blackberry and Laptop have been useful tools, a Tonido account will greatly enhance my productivity.
I am a student and keeping track of papers, essays and other stuff is a hassle. Plus listening to my music anywhere would be sweet. And the Tonino Plug looks awesome! I hope you choose me!
I've been trying to find something like dropbox that has a lot more functionality and you guys brought my attention to this. I can use this to access my documents at home on my desktop and from school without the need to carry a flash drive around with me everywhere. The music streaming is also a nice feature to have while traveling so I can actually listen to all of my music.
I would love to win one of these because I am currently assessing options for our low-cost computing initiative at a local public elementary school in Washington, DC and this would be a great solution for them!
Hope you guys don't get reprimanded by Facebook for violating their contest rules. I want to WIN!
I'm looking for an affordable, reasonable and applicable gateway to move up my educational organization to the cloud. My experiences with technologies are always shared with other educational organizations in developing countries.
I'm using a Android phone and laptop. Share a file and Copy a music to a sd card is always painful job.
It's gonna be useful when I use a cloud computing with Tonido account.
I want it!!
I have been considering a system like this for awhile, but was unaware of Tonido. The website says they are all soldout and not taking orders!
I'm always interested in what's new in technology and how it can benefit my students and clients.
I have been looking at systems of this type and been hesitatnt to jump in until now. My family manages documents from various places around the US and some abroad and this would give us the reliability and safety necessary to store our data.
this will very help me hand in my school work
This will be an useful tool for me as a college student because I switch computers a lot and Backup will simplify researching and writing essays. With the Money Manager, I can keep track of my finances and with Photos, I can share pictures with my family. What a great product!
I've got a couple hundred gigs of music that I've been wanting to make available to me anywhere on the web. I thought about writing an app myself, but this would be way easier. I'd also be interested in modding the Tonido plug.
This site seems really usefull for my thesis writing... Since i'm constantly on the move it will be very usefull to have my content available anywhere, in any computer..
Especially the backup feature is extremelly usefull for my work.
I'd like to win because this would help me with school and at home.Because of this im now Im happy because I can finaly transfer all of my ppts from school! This Is My First MkaeUseOf Giveaway So I hope I win.
The BEST thing about your site is that it includes information that you can actually Make Use Of... And Yes your giveaway is a fine example. Count ME in.
I'd like to win because this looks like some good software but anyways my family woud'nt be able to afford the plug and the pro accounts. Also heres how the software can benifit me: It can help me send files to my friends and family (My Family Lives In Pakistan). And I can use this to backup my moms photos(about one whole GB), All of my essays, and my narritives. And I just hope I win makeuseof, because this is my first time entering a makeuseof giveaway, I love this blog, and I would never be able to get this without winning this giveaway.
I'm studying online and this looks like a great way to compile all my files, organise my study and work on multiple computers. Great to know I can backup all my study notes with ease.
I'd like to win because I'm a technology consultant for my clients and am constantly looking for new technologies so that I may serve my customers better. The more I know and have access to, the more value and service they receive.

Um... Not to be a critic but you forgot something. You mentioned all the sweet things, you forgot to mention the dropping of your grades, the endless crying, the sacrifice. If you people are new to the fandoms and you think the warning is a joke, it's not. So RUN! RUN WHILE YOU CAN!
