1. The document discusses the challenges of cooperative governance systems and how they have evolved over time. It analyzes the governance structures of rural electric cooperatives through an institutional lens.
2. It identifies issues these cooperatives face such as member alienation, board capture, and lack of community responsiveness. Theories of governance are examined, particularly the dominant principal-agent theory which does not fully consider stakeholders.
3. The analysis of Choctaw Electric Cooperative identifies governance failures like unenforced boundaries and incongruence with local conditions, as well as more pluralistic practices like members flexing rights and using conflict resolution. The conclusion calls for more inclusive multi-stakeholder governance approaches in cooperatives.
A pregnant koala mother was killed by a car, but fortunately a vet was able to rescue her babies. The vet managed to feed the baby koalas, keeping them safe. The koalas are now healthy and have grown bigger, showing their first smiles as a sign of appreciation for being rescued.
В Москве сложилась парадоксальная ситуация. На узких улочках строят внеуличные переходы в то время, как на широких улицах и магистралях продолжают существовать опасные нерегулируемые переходы, по которым каждый день ходят тысячи людей.

The document summarizes a student design project to create a small-scale wind turbine. The two-bladed horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT) prototype met most objectives of producing consistent power at low cost while being durable, easy to assemble, and safe. Testing showed an average voltage of 0.567 Volts and power of 0.0167 Watts. Recommendations to optimize the design included improving the blades, increasing electrical resistance, improving bearings, and increasing sturdiness. The project was deemed a success while highlighting areas for future improvement.
This document discusses the challenges of sustainable tourism development in Jordan. While tourism has benefited Jordan's economy, it has also led to environmental and social problems by urbanizing natural landscapes and marginalizing local communities. The Fair Trade Jordan initiative aims to address these issues by creating a certification system that promotes fair labor practices and equitable distribution of tourism profits to local communities. However, convincing local tour operators to participate and ensuring projects do not disrupt local cultures will be major challenges. Fair Trade Jordan is working with pilot projects and hopes to begin marketing certified sites by 2009.
The document discusses social investing as an emerging trend that combines social impact and financial returns. It provides examples of social investing approaches, including hybrid value chains that partner businesses with social sectors, and socially responsible investing in companies with social conscience. While microfinance has faced scandals, the sector continues to attract talent and promises growth as regulations are introduced. The future may see investment products like mutual funds to allow retail investors to participate in social investing.
