7 ANS D’ACTIONS POUR LA RECONCILIATION NATIONLAE ET AU SERVICE DES COMORESDjamal Msa Ali
L'ère Azali était l'ère de l'unité retrouvée, de la stabilité politique, de la croissance et par conséquent de l'opulence et de l'aisance.
C'était aussi l'ère de l'effort, de l'imagination et de la créativité. La mendicité, la légèreté, l'irresponsabilité et l'incompétence n'avaient donc aucun droit de cité.
Des efforts inlassables ont été ainsi déployés, le tout, pour arriver à bout des souffrances majeures dont la population comorienne ressentait. Tout le monde sans restriction était donc mis au travail. Abas la gabegie et la nonchalance.
Les résultats ont été plus que satisfaisants, à tous les niveaux, même si d'une manière évidente, toutes les ambitions ne sont pas systématiquement réalisables. Et les comoriens, toutes couches sociales confondues en témoigneront, chacun ayant trouvé son compte: i) L'université pour les jeunes, ii) le prix de la vanille pour les paysans, iii) le coût du pèlerinage pour les pèlerins, iv) les routes et l'énergie pour les opérateurs et transporteurs, v) le crédit consommation et les avancements pour les fonctionnaires, vi) l'hôpital et les médecins pour les patients, vii) l'aéroport pour les professionnels du tourisme et enfin viii) les banques pour les investisseurs, pour ne citer que ceux-là.
Les objectifs de développement affichés ont été alors atteints à plus de 90%, tant sur la plan politique et institutionnel que sur le plan économique.
C'était donc une ère charnière et décisif pour le pays, à partir de laquelle un nouveau destin pour les Comores a dû être imprimé.
Cette voie tracée par le Colonel Azali, qui a mené tout droit le pays vers l'espoir est la preuve des capacités intrinsèques que renferme ce personnage pour redonner encore du souffle au pays lequel en a fortement besoin en cette période de total délabrement.
Et c'est en ces termes que la CRC lance un appel vibrant à toutes les bonnes voies et bonnes volontés pour se liguer à elle, pour un nouveau sursaut avec le Colonel Azali.
This document discusses the benefits of local anaerobic digestion (AD) for community engagement and planning. It proposes using micro AD systems in urban areas where there is a large volume of food waste and demand for food and jobs. Engaging the local community is key - AD could be implemented in social housing, universities, parks, and other community spaces. Environmental benefits include reducing greenhouse gas emissions by diverting waste from landfill. Closed-loop opportunities exist for food waste collection, operating and maintaining AD systems, and using digestate for urban agriculture. The document advocates designing an accredited training program to teach assembly, operation, and maintenance of micro AD systems.
The document provides an update on regulations regarding animal by-products from the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA).

where to publish data: your private area, as read
only to specified members within a private cloud,
all members in a private cloud, or publish
information to all members in public cloud.
32. Benefits of Ceasel’s Cloud Computing Architecture
Visualization – Project participants see data earlier
in the project life-cycle, driving fewer change
orders, faster project timelines, and virtual
elimination of legal disputes.

1. Collaboration – True cloud computing (vs. cloud-washing or simply posting legacy applications to the cloud) lets users work concurrently on projects in real-time…virtually anyone, anywhere, anytime in multiple languages and currencies.
2. Data Integrity – Information is NEVER deleted. This is potentially the best form of security available. “Who” does “What” and “When” is always tracked and changes can be “rolled back” at any time by authorized administrators.
3. Data Protection – It is YOU, the user who determines how, when, and where to publish data. For example, you can maintain information in your private area, publish as read only to specified members within a private cloud…or publish to all members in a private cloud, or publish information to all members in public cloud and enable rights to use and modify data.
4. Visualization – DATA visualization and the associated development and implementation of collaborative construction delivery methods such as integrated project delivery – IPD, and job order contracting, JOC, enable shared information earlier in the project life-cycle and among more participants. This enable errors to be found and corrected and/or changes to be accomplished earlier in the project timeline. This results in few change orders, faster project timelines, and virtual elimination of legal disputes. Cloud computing will accelerate data visualization and transparency among all stakeholders of physical infrastructure and promote multiple forms of performance-based processes.
5. Agility – Our work and natural environments are changing at an accelerated pace. Rapid deployment, monitoring, and the associated continuous modification of processes and policies are becoming increasingly important. Cloud computing deploys processes faster than any other method currently available. There is no longer a need to rely upon internal “IT” for deployment or applications specific changes, computing power, storage space, etc.
6. Mobility – It is neither cost effective, nor efficient, to have everyone working in offices or specified work settings. Resources need to be tapped from multiple locations enabling use of “the best of the best”. Cloud computing allows direct, transparent access to local resources while also communicating centralized processes and procedures.
7. Centralization of Information – While information can be scattered among several data centers, it also can be instantly consolidated to provide global management in support of an organization’s mission as well as associated, efficient local action.
8. Business Continuity – While Internet access is required (unless you host the “cloud” internally), would you rather store your information at your location and risk catastrophic failure, or at a location with multiple redundancies?
