The Taiwanese government has cancelled a plan to produce biogas from 600 tons of daily food waste in Taipei and New Taipei City due to a lack of domestic technological capabilities to overcome technical challenges in the process. The Environmental Protection Agency will now seek international expertise to advise on how to implement the biogas from food waste project.
The 2008 annual review of the Department of Agriculture of St. Kitts highlights several key achievements and challenges. Increased production was seen for some crops like carrots, onions, white potatoes, and yams despite hurricanes and flooding negatively impacting other crops. Outreach centers evaluated new crop varieties with favorable yields. The marketing unit facilitated some exports and promoted local produce, though sales to hotels decreased. The plant quarantine unit addressed threats from pests like red palm mites and collaborated on regional issues.
Project Gaia promotes clean cooking ethanol stoves and fuels. It is currently engaged in projects in Ethiopia, Nigeria, and Brazil, and wishes to facilitate projects in other countries. It works with partners to manufacture stoves locally and develop supply chains for affordable ethanol from local resources like molasses or waste gases. Stoves are tested in communities and found to reduce smoke, save time, and be safer than traditional biomass or kerosene alternatives. The organization seeks additional partners to expand stove and fuel production.
1) The document describes research on improving cassava production techniques in Asia, including time and method of planting, weed control, fertilization, intercropping, and erosion control. Experiments showed that yields are reduced if rainfall or temperatures are limiting after 3-5 months of planting.
2) Planting vertically or inclined produces higher yields than horizontally, especially during drought. Planting on ridges is better in rainy seasons but flat planting is better in dry seasons. High yields can be maintained with animal manure and chemical fertilizers or chemical fertilizers alone. Intercropping with peanuts increases income and protects soil.
3) Fertilization, intercropping, contour ridging, and contour he

1. This document summarizes a project in Uganda that aimed to improve small-scale cassava processing and integrate cassava production into related industries. The project established pilot processing sites, trained farmers in improved production and processing techniques, and facilitated marketing groups.
2. Key achievements included significantly reducing aflatoxin levels in cassava chips through better drying and processing methods. This allowed farmers to increase chip prices. Farmers were organized into groups for improved access to inputs, credits and markets.
3. While a cassava feed strategy was initially considered, a food strategy was ultimately adopted due to higher prices and demand. The project showed that with appropriate technologies, cassava has potential to improve livelihoods and contribute to
This document summarizes key information about Commonwealth Supported Places (CSPs) and the HECS-HELP loan scheme for Australian university students. It explains that CSPs subsidize university tuition fees for eligible students. HECS-HELP assists eligible CSP students to pay their student contributions via a government loan which is repaid later through the tax system. The document provides details on CSP and HECS-HELP eligibility, applying for a place and loan, census dates, withdrawing from studies, and loan repayment obligations. It also includes contact information for additional assistance.
The document discusses the Western influence on the music cultures of India, China, and Russia. It focuses on the role of Christian missionaries and native converts as "intermediary actors" who introduced Western hymns and music and modified them according to local tastes and traditions. Regarding Russia specifically, the document notes that Western classical music was initially dominated by foreign musicians at the Russian imperial court but that composers like Glinka incorporated Russian folk elements, sparking a nationalist movement. The "Mighty Five" group and the Russian Musical Society both embraced and resisted Western influences in different ways.
The document provides extensive advice on how to become a successful Hollywood screenwriter. It recommends living in Los Angeles so studios can meet in person, using specific screenwriting software, getting representation from an agent, manager, and lawyer, and starting with short scripts to get noticed online. It describes the process of pitching scripts to studios, getting notes from executives, rewriting drafts, registering with the Writers Guild, and negotiating contracts. The goal is to get scripts made into movies, while navigating the challenges of development and changes from producers and studios. Success requires persistence in writing multiple scripts and representing them well to decision makers.
The document provides guidance on creating a fundraising task map for an organization by listing elements to include on a calendar such as existing program events, training conferences, organizational development events, board meetings, onsite counsel visits, strategic projects, existing special events, awareness events, signature events, campaign interviews, direct mail programs, newsletter communications, monthly receipt solutions, and weekly prospect cultivation. It emphasizes the importance of planning fundraising activities and events well in advance to successfully achieve fundraising goals and expand a nonprofit's offerings.
This document is a checklist for direct mail packages that are intended to raise money. It includes questions to consider for the audience being targeted, the response device used to donate, the outer envelope design, and the letter copy. The checklist aims to ensure direct mail is optimized to engage the recipient and encourage a donation response. It also provides biographical information about the author, James P. LaRose, who created the checklist and has extensive experience in nonprofit fundraising.
The document provides an overview of a fundraising training program called "Major Gifts Ramp-Up". It discusses that the program is designed to help non-profits launch, build, or retool their fundraising platforms. It emphasizes that the program is different from traditional fundraising models in that it focuses on donors being the primary customer and uses modern technology and training methods to provide the tools non-profits need to succeed in fundraising. The document outlines the key aspects of the Major Gifts Ramp-Up program, including its philosophy, methodology, scalability, and low cost compared to traditional fundraising consulting.
