Bosses say the awards, which were held at Coventry’s Ricoh Arena and hosted by Nick Hewer, was a ‘tremendous’ boost for the firm as it recognises its skills and innovation in the sector.

Okay. And then if we could just talk a little bit about pricing on valves? Any inflationary pressure you’re able to pass through the price increases?

“The Penn-China Global tour and game is another proud landmark for Global Football and for me personally, as after 23 years of working with visionary coaches, athletic directors and student-athletes to produce similar events, this is our initial Ivy League football team,” said Mr. Steenberge. “This will be the third consecutive year of taking NCAA football teams to China, as the clinics and game will further aid the development of the sport there. More importantly, this unique experience will enhance the global knowledge of the curious student-athletes from Penn, providing them a first-hand understanding of Chinese history, culture and people. Congratulations to the Penn administrators and coaches for taking on this valuable challenge.”

Shimu, Xu’s wife, whose family was from Kinmen, told me that reunification was inevitable and natural. She told me that Taiwan and China were like an estranged married couple. “They may quarrel a lot,” she had said, “but what outsider can truly understand what goes on between them?”

But we see it ramping up through the year. Of course, commodity pricing has improved from $48 and $50 barrel down to $54, $55. So I think that, of course, it generates more cash flow for our customers and we see it picking up for the year.

Toward the end of secondary school, Friston and his classmates were the subjects of an early experiment in computer-­assisted advising. They were asked a series of questions, and their answers were punched into cards and run through a machine to extrapolate the perfect career choice. Friston had described how he enjoyed electronics design and being alone in nature, so the computer suggested he become a television antenna installer. That didn’t seem right, so he visited a school career counselor and said he’d like to study the brain in the context of mathematics and physics. The counselor told Friston he should become a psychiatrist, which meant, to Friston’s horror, that he had to study medicine.

AESO’s own statistics prove how absurd wind and solar are: they are unreliable, randomly intermittent and simply don’t produce much power at great cost per MWh of output.

They all start and stare at each other, as if this is quite a new statement, strange and amusing. To them, the Taiwanese identity is a given. But, Shi supposes reunification will happen sooner or later, at least that’s what a lot of Taiwanese say. “China’s so big and strong. That’s what everyone says,” he says shyly. “So I think it’s a matter of time.”

If you are Kinmenese, you love the place where you are and you do not want to put it in anyone’s hands but your own. It is this feeling, a connection to place and a way of life, that fuels resistance to reunification or “mainlandization”; even, it appears, among transplanted mainlanders like Luo and Yang. For some, certainly, democratic rights are the most important issue, but Weng, the Democratic Progressive Party organizer, has told me that it is practical unfairness, not democratic ideals, that will get Kinmen locals onto the streets to protest.

When asked if it didn’t agree with the presentation, the regulator would only say the higher estimate had ‘not been validated by the AER’.
