The economic growth of Brazil in the early and mid-2000s has created opportunities for people like my interlocutors, the young and media-savvy residents of Brazilian favelas to consume and partake in a global market of the production of the self. These have nourished their pursuit for both diversity and difference and shaped the eclectic qualities of their consumption practices. In its plural forms, consumption, or eating, which will take center stage in this article, has enabled an expanded palette and palate of being, acting and relishing life in the favela. I argue that eating can be understood as a method of becoming; it can be used as an active attempt at asserting agency over one's body and, by extension, at asserting subjectivity in a lifeworld open to multiple dimensions of uncertainty and insecurity.

This experience report has as its object the training course for young apprenticeship of a qualifying company which is located in Porto Alegre, State of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The text thinks the teachers and their powers, from movements that inhabit and fill their daily lives. In this way, each one creates for himself/herself what is known as a teacher self-creation, in which he/she takes what is from others as a didactic experimentation, there is no identity in the teaching, there is an identity movement that does not deprive itself of differences. The research seeks to place in the fictional scenes of a reality of the class, to, from these materialities, conceive affections in the scope of teaching. For this it uses the biographic method, and the philosophy of the difference in education. What worked in teaching this class, what works, the elements that make a class that works, a sociography of affections. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

• Renewables complementarity works as a hedging mechanism against power market risk. • Self-production from renewables is attractive for investments by energy consumers. • The optimization model can incorporate different sources of intermittent generation. • Complementarity works as a financial hedge for investments in renewable sources. • There is strong complementarity between wind and hydro plants in Brazil's Northeast. The increasing competitiveness of renewable energy and the complementarity between water inflows and wind can be used as drivers to provide more security of supply for companies that want to invest in these renewable sources. From this perspective, this study focuses on the analysis of a large consumer that procures its energy in an electricity market involving both bilateral and spot market transactions. Moreover, the consumer can invest in a renewable self-production, deciding the new installed capacity and the moment to invest. Also, the hydro-wind complementarity is explored to reduce the spot market risk in which the consumer is exposed to, because of the intermittent renewable generation profile. Therefore, the proposed model is a specialized tool to further explore the complementarity between renewable sources in the optic of a large consumer. The effectiveness of the model is illustrated using historical data from the Brazilian market. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
