The document discusses the advantages of shopping at a farmers' market compared to a supermarket. It notes that the produce at farmers' markets is fresher, with fewer pesticides used. The author prefers farmers' markets as their first choice for produce, then the supermarket if needed. Supermarket produce travels farther and is bred more for shipping than taste. Farmers' markets support local economies and have friendly vendors.
Forex pips indicators have a major speculative role to play in the foreign exchange market. They refer to the minute increments of a given currency. PIP is an acronym for “percentage in point” and forex rates are expressed up to 4 pips or 4 decimal places. In forex trading, they represent the smallest changes in the currency value. Even a small change in a pip can have a heavy effect on the final value of a particular currency upon its purchase or sale.
This document provides details of a school trip from Paget, Bermuda to Paris, France from October 26th to 29th, 2012. It will take place at the Chateau du Grande Romaine in Lesigny, Paris. The coach will depart Paget at 6:00 AM on the 26th and arrive in France at 1:25 PM. The itinerary includes visits to museums, the Eiffel Tower, and team building activities. Pupils are advised to bring one bag of clothing and toiletries. Emergency contact numbers are provided.

By Voradeth Phonekeo, Mekong River Commission, Laos
Presented at the Mekong Forum on Water, Food and Energy Phnom Penh, Cambodia December 7-9, 2011 Session 5: Improving hydropower planning and assessment
Laos is a landlocked country in Southeast Asia with a population of around 7 million people. It gained independence from France in 1953 and is now a communist state led by an executive branch that includes a president, chairman, and council of ministers. The economy has benefited from foreign direct investment in hydropower, mining, and construction. Agriculture accounts for about 24% of GDP, though industrial and service sectors have grown in recent years. Inflation is expected to remain low in 2016 due to falling oil prices and stable food costs globally.
Cambodias-energy-industry Country profilePham Toan
Cambodia's electricity sector is dominated by diesel power generation. The country aims to expand access to electricity nationwide by 2020 and has significant hydropower potential. Peak electricity demand was 188 MW in 2007 according to EDC, with generation primarily from diesel and imports. The sector is overseen by the Ministry of Mines and Energy and Electricity Authority of Cambodia, while EDC is the main public utility. Generation is projected to increase substantially to meet demand, with plans for additional hydropower and other sources through 2021.
Day 1 session 5.1 benefit sharing on nam lik 1 2CPWF Mekong
This document summarizes research on local participation in benefit sharing from the Nam Lik 1-2 Hydropower Project in Laos. The researchers examined (1) how local people participated in project development and received compensation, (2) how livelihoods adapted after the project, and (3) natural resource management efforts. They found that while local people participated in project activities and surveys, their concerns were not fully addressed. Compensation did not cover all livelihood losses. Livelihoods diversified after construction. The project supported some natural resource management programs but policy recommendations call for stronger local participation in decision making and longer term benefit sharing.

The document describes the Network for Sustainable Hydropower Development in the Mekong Countries (NSHD-M), which works to promote more sustainable hydropower development in the Mekong region. The network has over 200 members from universities and research institutions in China, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam and Myanmar. It has developed 6 training manuals and 11 case studies on topics like climate change, river basin ecosystems, economic development and social aspects. The network has provided training to stakeholders in the region and worked with universities to integrate sustainable hydropower development into their curricula. Challenges include strengthening coordination and developing the network further.

Hydropower Potential in Myanmar
This document provides an overview of renewable energy resources and rural development in Myanmar. It details Myanmar's energy sector, policies, and status. Key renewable resources include hydropower (108,000 MW potential), biomass (significant potential from forestry and agriculture), and solar and wind power. The goals of renewable energy development are to ensure energy security and food security while reducing poverty and pollution. Examples of renewable projects discussed include solar home systems, micro-hydropower plants, biogas digesters, and the use of agricultural residues for gasification. The document also examines CDM possibilities in Myanmar.
Laos has experienced strong economic growth in recent years driven by foreign investment in hydropower, mining and construction. The economy relies heavily on agriculture, which accounts for about 30% of GDP and 75% of total employment. Laos is developing its potential as the "battery of Southeast Asia" through investments in hydropower projects, with over 10 dams currently under construction or planning. China has been a major investor in these projects such as the Nam Khan 2 dam being built by Chinese company Sinohydro.
This document provides background information on Laos, including its political system as a Marxist-Leninist one party state, population and demographics, GDP, ease of doing business ranking, and labor force statistics. It then discusses Laos' potential as "The Battery of Southeast Asia" due to its abundant hydropower resources, growing domestic electricity needs, and role as an exporter of natural resource-based goods. The opportunity for investment in Laos Power is described by highlighting the country's strategic location bordering major rivers and its high precipitation suitable for hydropower plants.

Assessing livelihood piloting experiences associated with hydropower developmentCPWF Mekong
This document summarizes livelihood piloting experiences associated with hydropower development in Vietnam, Lao PDR, and Cambodia. Key outcomes include: 1) Introduction of a short term cassava variety in Vietnam that increased yields and farmer incomes; 2) Integrated rice-fish culture in Lao PDR that increased rice productivity and protein supply; and 3) Small scale aquaculture and vegetable production in Cambodia that diversified incomes and supported food security. Lessons learned indicate communities need more than one year to adopt new technologies, and partnerships with local authorities and companies can enable piloting of livelihood activities.
Putting hydropower and renewables in contextCPWF Mekong
This document summarizes a project assessing the potential role of renewables in power supply in the Mekong region. It finds that renewables have significant technical potential, including over 90 GW from solar, wind, geothermal, small hydro and biomass. However, renewables face barriers to wider deployment. Hydropower currently plays a major role in centralized grid systems, while renewables are smaller-scale and connected to distribution networks. High renewable penetration will require technologies like gas or hydropower that can respond quickly to output variations. While not direct substitutes, hydropower and renewables could complement each other, with hydropower helping to integrate variable renewables. Realizing their synergies would require changes to institutional
