THE START OF POWER SUPPLY PROBLEM When the Palinpinon plant suffered trouble this month of March 2010, Green Core has no other owned generation asset to source the insufficient power of Tongonan I. Thus this resulted to the implementation of "LOAD SHEDDING" or "Rotational Brownout". LOAD SHEDDING is implemented when the Power Supply cannot cope with the Power Demand. For purposes of simplifying, take for example that the total demand of the entire customers of Green Core is 100 MW (Mega Watts) but its plant is capable of producing only 69 MW (Mega Watts). There would be a deficiency of supply of 31 MW (Mega Watts). And since its other power plant in Palinpinon is down, the remedy is for the customers to reduce its power demand to actual capacity of the operational plant which is 69 MW (Mega Watts). Therefore, all of the customers of Green Core Geothermal Inc. were required to implement power shedding, again, because there is no sufficient supply of power. Simply Put, the power supplier can only supply LEYECO II of 13.5 MW (Mega Watts) . As presented in Table 2, the Peak Demand of LEYECO II is 32-35 MW (Mega Watts) . We are therefore short of 19.5 MW (Mega Watts) during peak demand. |

HYPERTENSION (High Blood Pressure)
Definition Hypertension is the term used to describe high blood pressure. Blood pressure readings are measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg) and usually given as two numbers. For example, 120 over 80 (written as 120/80 mmHg). - The top number is your systolic pressure, the pressure created when your heart beats. It is considered high if it is consistently over 140.
- The bottom number is your diastolic pressure, the pressure inside blood vessels when the heart is at rest. It is considered high if it is consistently over 90.
Either or both of these numbers may be too high. Pre-hypertension is when your systolic blood pressure is between 120 and 139 or your diastolic blood pressure is between 80 and 89 on multiple readings. If you have pre-hypertension, you are more likely to develop high blood pressure. See also: Blood pressure SymptomsMost of the time, there are no symptoms. Symptoms that may occur include: - Chest pain
- Confusion
- Ear noise or buzzing
- Irregular heartbeat
- Nosebleed
- Tiredness
- Vision changes
If you have a severe headache or any of the symptoms above, see your doctor right away. These may be signs of a complication or dangerously high blood pressure called malignant hypertension. Causes & RisksBlood pressure measurements are the result of the force of the blood produced by the heart and the size and condition of the arteries. Many factors can affect blood pressure, including: - How much water and salt you have in your body
- The condition of your kidneys, nervous system, or blood vessels
- The levels of different body hormones
High blood pressure can affect all types of people. You have a higher risk of high blood pressure if you have a family history of the disease. High blood pressure is more common in African Americans than Caucasians. Smoking, obesity, and diabetes are all risk factors for hypertension. Most of the time, no cause is identified. This is called essential hypertension. High blood pressure that results from a specific condition, habit, or medication is called secondary hypertension. Too much salt in your diet can lead to high blood pressure. Secondary hypertension may also be due to: - Adrenal gland tumor
- Alcohol abuse
- Anxiety and stress
- Arteriosclerosis
- Birth control pills
- Coarctation of the aorta
- Cocaine use
- Cushing syndrome
- Diabetes
- Kidney disease, including:
- Glomerulonephritis (inflammation of kidneys)
- Kidney failure
- Renal artery stenosis
- Renal vascular obstruction or narrowing
- Medications
- Appetite suppressants
- Certain cold medications
- Corticosteroids
- Migraine medications
- Hemolytic-uremic syndrome
- Henoch-Schonlein purpura
- Obesity
- Pain
- Periarteritis nodosa
- Pheochromocytoma
- Pregnancy (called gestational hypertension)
- Primary hyperaldosteronism
- Renal artery stenosis
- Retroperitoneal fibrosis
- Wilms' tumor

M I G R A I N E
Definition A migraine is a common type of headache that may occur with symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, or sensitivity to light. In many people, a throbbing pain is felt only on one side of the head. Some people who get migraines have warning symptoms, called an aura, before the actual headache begins. An aura is a group of symptoms, usually vision disturbances, that serve as a warning sign that a bad headache is coming. Most people, however, do not have such warning signs. See also: - Headache
- Mixed tension migraine (features of both a migraine and tension headache)
SymptomsVision disturbances, or aura, are considered a "warning sign" that a migraine is coming. The aura occurs in both eyes and may involve any or all of the following: - A temporary blind spot
- Blurred vision
- Eye pain
- Seeing stars or zigzag lines
- Tunnel vision
Not every person with migraines has an aura. Those who do usually develop one about 10 - 15 minutes before the headache. However, it may occur just a few minutes to 24 hours beforehand. Migraine headaches can be dull or severe. The pain may be felt behind the eye or in the back of the head and neck. For many patients, the headaches start on the same side each time. The headaches usually: - Feel throbbing, pounding, or pulsating
- Are worse on one side of the head
- Start as a dull ache and get worse within minutes to hours
- Last 6 to 48 hours
Other symptoms that may occur with the headache include: - Chills
- Increased urination
- Fatigue
- Loss of appetite
- Nausea and vomiting
- Numbness, tingling, or weakness
- Problems concentrating, trouble finding words
- Sensitivity to light or sound
- Sweating
Symptoms that may linger even after the migraine has gone away include: - Feeling mentally dull, like your thinking is not clear or sharp
- Increased need for sleep
- Neck pain
Causes & RisksA lot of people get migraines -- about 11 out of 100. The headaches tend to first appear between the ages of 10 and 46. Occasionally, migraines may occur later in life in a person with no history of such headaches. Migraines occur more often in women than men, and may run in families. Women may have fewer migraines when they are pregnant. Most women with such headaches have fewer attacks during the last two trimesters of pregnancy. A migraine is caused by abnormal brain activity, which is triggered by stress, certain foods, environmental factors, or something else. However, the exact chain of events remains unclear. Scientists used to believe that migraines were due to changes in blood vessels within the brain. Today, most medical experts believe the attack actually begins in the brain itself, where it involves various nerve pathways and chemicals. The changes affect blood flow in the brain and surrounding tissues. Migraine attacks may be triggered by: - Alcohol
- Allergic reactions
- Bright lights
- Certain odors or perfumes
- Changes in hormone levels (which can occur during a woman's menstrual cycle or with the use of birth control pills)
- Changes in sleep patterns
- Exercise
- Loud noises
- Missed meals
- Physical or emotional stress
- Smoking or exposure to smoke
Certain foods and preservatives in foods may trigger migraines in some people. Food-related triggers may include: - Any processed, fermented, pickled, or marinated foods
- Baked goods
- Chocolate
- Dairy products
- Foods containing monosodium glutamate (MSG)
- Foods containing tyramine, which includes red wine, aged cheese, smoked fish, chicken livers, figs, and certain beans
- Fruits (avocado, banana, citrus fruit)
- Meats containing nitrates (bacon, hot dogs, salami, cured meats)
- Nuts
- Onions
- Peanut butter
This list may not be all-inclusive. True migraine headaches are not a result of a brain tumor or other serious medical problem. However, only an experienced health care provider can determine whether your symptoms are due to a migraine or another condition. |
