People-Centered Economic Development or P-CED is a UK-based entity describing itself as a "profit-for-purpose" company established in 2004.
The name derived from a paper for the steering committee to reelect the President in 1996. Created by Terry Hallman as an honorary researcher, it proposed a new economic paradigm and a business model re-investing 'at least 50%' into social purpose. The model is described in a synopsis of that paper published on the web in January 1997.
P-CED was first applied in 1999 for the Tomsk Regional Initiative, a USAID project which ran between 2000 and 2004. P-CED's ongoing activities are that of re-submitting an earlier proposal for a 'Smart Power' approach in the economic development of the Tatars of Crimea and advocacy for a national scale a 'Marshall Plan' against poverty in Ukraine.
P-CED entered the United Kingdom in 2004 where it operates as a business with the same name, applying the P-CED model to fund ongoing missions in Ukraine.
In a 2004 interview with Inci Bowman of the International Committee for Crimea, P-CEDs founder relates the purpose of his swords to ploughshares endeavour in Crimea and his view of the inadequacy of capitalism, in its present form as an economic paradigm.
The company's activism in Ukraine focuses on the plight of children living on the streets and institutional care, raising awareness through newspaper articles and the citizens action networks. With notable examples in 2003 for the Kyiv Post and in 2006 relating the visit of US based NGO in what was described as a "concentration camp" for children.
In July 2008 the P-CED manifesto, outlining the principles of People-Centered Economics, was published. In the same year, a Ukrainian charity leader deciding he could no longer remain silent, spoke out about conditions in a children's home in Kalinovka.
Terry Hallman was accredited with delivering an example of excellence in the British Telecom Seen and Heard awards in 2008 for his work in raising awareness of the plight of disabled children in institutional care.

H.M.S. Starship Pinafore : The Next Generation is a Star Trek adaptation of two famous Gilbert and Sullivan operettas (HMS Pinafore and Trial by Jury). In Toronto, it was first presented by the North Toronto Players in 1999.
For the show, new lyrics are often added and musical adjustments made, while keeping true to the humor and musical beauty of the original. For example the song "I am an Englishman" was changed to "I Am Canadian" (which not only made it more local, but made reference to a very popular Molson Canadian beer commercial advertisement which ends with that phrase, see I Am Canadian).
It was adapted in Toronto by Michael Harms and John Ricciardelli.
Plot
ACT I
The Pinafore is at its starbase being readied for further space exploration. Ralph (pronounced "Raif") Rackstraw declares his love for Josephine, the daughter of Captain Corcoran. Ralph is supported by most members of the crew with the exception of Dick Deadeye, a Klingon. Little Buttercup, a Betazoid woman who is on board to sell items to the crew, hints that she knows a secret from Ralph's past.
The Captain consults his daughter Josephine and reminds her that she has the opportunity to marry Sir Joseph Porter, who is First Lord of the Starfleet Admiralty and a wealthy Ferengi. Sir Joseph arrives with his entourage of 'relatives' (Cousin Hebe and a variety of aliens) and impresses all with his exalted position. Ralph, dejected, informs his friends that he plans to end it all. In a dramatic moment, Josephine declares her love for him and they agree to leave the ship and get married.
ACT II
Ralph and Josephine's stealthy departure with friends from the crew is foiled when they are intercepted by Dick Deadeye and the Captain. Sir Joseph intervenes but is shocked to learn that Ralph has dared to contemplate marriage with Josephine. He orders a court-martial for the insubordinate crewman!
Everyone assembles for the trial in which Sir Joseph serves as judge. After several eloquent pleas, the dilemma remains unsolved and Ralph is about to be incarcerated. It is then that Buttercup reveals her secret and provides a happy solution to the social conflict. True love unites all parties in the appropriate way!
