Why does it seem like no matter where we turn,as teenagers in highschool, we end going down a wrong path and making a mistake? But many don't know that there's a way to avoid all of this. The way to avoid making a mistake: Do nothing. That doesn't always seem to help, and probably, in most of our lifetimes, it won't really help anyone out unless you expect to go on with your life and be completely unsuccessful.
We go through highschool with three things in our social life. Drama, lies, and tears. They are inevitable. Not one teenager in highschool can honestly say 1. I haven't been through any drama. 2. I haven't lied or been lied to. or 3. Noone at the school has cried.
You start out as a freshman, I'm sure everyone remembers that day: Walking through the doors of the school,after hearing pleanty of stories about the teachers or classes from older friends or siblings, not knowing what to expect. But I think we all expect one thing out of our highschool career if nothing else: Drama.
Highschool, it's all about drama and gossip. Who's doing what.Where someone got something. She did this. He did that. Who's dating who. Who hates who, and the list goes on. We go through a year or two not wanting half of the drama that we let come into our lives in the first place. The question that's left in the end when you look back on it: Why did I put myself into that? Drama is always going to be there. It was there when the first school was started and it will be there till the last school ends. We don't need to listen to all the gossip because it leads to drama.
The next thing no highschool can go without. . .:Lies. Oh boy. Even though you don't want to believe it. Eveyone eventually does lie in their highschool career. At one time or another, your best friend will turn on you and lie behind your back and you will get in a fight. Lying never passed up anyone and it will never pass up anyone. Many lies float throughout the school. Wether it be a small and not so hurtful lie, or a HUGE life changing lie, all lies aren't important and you can usually tell a lie from the truth. Most of the time. So you may think: Wow, I can't trust anyone now. But that isn't true. You have to trust people to be able to get through highschool.
That brings me to the next topic: Tears. Everyone cries. Noone is 'too old to cry.' In highschool is probably one of the times that you cry the most. You deal with a lot of things and you grow up in highschool. Many people lose friends or family members. Some get pregnant. Others just break up with boyfriends or girlfriends. This is something I can truly relate to. I mean sure everyone can. And I can relate to drama and lies too, but this more than the others. This year has been really hectic. Many people go through a lot of what I went through, but not all in the same year. I've lost friends to suicide. [About 5 friends] And some to carwrecks. [About 3 friends] Other friends of mine have been injured in carwrecks. [About two of them] But it was a lot of tears. Advice on this: Things will happen, people will die, but they will always live on forever in your heart and you can't soley dwell on the fact that they are gone, but remember all the great things they did in their lifetime and all the great times you had. Another thing that would bring tears in highschool would be break-ups or pregnancies. One thing you have to remember: No guy or girl is worth losing things over. No guy or girl is worth argueing with your friends about. And if a guy or girl wants to make you cry, they don't deserve being with you in the first place.
Even though these things are always there no matter what, you can always look forward to something in highschool. The great memories to look back on. The laughter you share with your friends. Just keep that in mind and your happiness will out weigh the saddness.
[font="courier new"]
These three things are inevitable and will always run the lives of the teenagers at a highschool. Even though they are hard to ignore or pass up, there are ways. Noone has really figuered out a way yet, but intill they do...just live with the phrase:
Drama, Lies and Tears. Cheers: To the Teenage years!!!

Extreme Spawnkilling Aground
Like (0)
To start off: I already sent a message to bancandy <- this is not intended to get these lamers banned faster but just to show what could happen in Aground. I hope it will be fixed as soon as possible, that's why I post it!
I was playing 2v2 with my friend on Aground where after 2 minutes we kept getting spawnkilled by the other 2.
We kept spawning at the same 2 places on the map (the 2 actual starting positions).
Here is a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tH_00X8FXs
Do you understand this? I have spawned on other places except for those 2, but still the game continues to see that position as the ideal spawn... That's not logic nor can there be an explanation for it. Just change it please.
i wouldnt ban or punish them. but it is so stupid the spawns on that, there should be 2 on either end of the ship and 2 on the sides and maybe a couple more if its too risky. iv been spawn killed many times and killed fresh spawners. and spawne dbehind a sniper on top of the ship countless times, the rest of the maps are ok in termes of spawning
I just found out that you can also spawn kill in Domination on Underground. You just have to take C and B, and trap the enemy at A. If you stand in the part of the subway close to the middle stairs, you can actually watch people spawn at the stairs at the end of the subway. I can't believe I never saw that before.
is that still going??
Yeah, I just saw it yesterday. My friends always watch the left side to spawn kill, and I watch the middle stairs to pick off stragglers. I'd never known that they'd actually spawn 20 feet in front of you on the left side in the subway. It's a spawn sniper's paradise.
I don't believe spawn killing is something that people are banned for. I guess this is the reason these maps are limited to 2v2. I noticed the same thing on one of the maps.
Just a question so your friend is actually watching the spawn point at the stairwell and he can see when they spawn and kills them right off the bat?
Basically. I thought that the enemy would spawn at the top of the stairs and run down into the subway, not spawn right at the middle of the stairs, in view of anyone camping far back in the subway.
That's old news. Why hasn't it been fixed yet though...i got 80 second moab because of that spawn.
I don't think they can be banned for that.... it just makes them low-lifes. The irony is... its Kill Confirmed and they never went back and snatched your tags. I honestly didn't think they would spawn you on your tags... so unless they somehow hacked the game to make that happen, shame on the Devs for allowing the coding to make that happen. To me it appeared they knew to look for you there, so either they discovered this glitch earlier or they were up to no good.
I don't understand the mentality of Spawn Campers or Trappers. Its one of those elements in this game that don't make sense to me. You think it shows skill to kill someone who is helpless? Someone who gets placed into a map and has no control over where they are put? Someone who can't fight back? Maybe I should just get you a barrel full of fish, and you could shoot them instead, it would be the same sort of challenge.
That being said, it wouldn't happen if the game wasn't designed to allow it to happen. I am hoping that future versions of the game loses this crappy mechanic. Being an idiot will never be cured, so as long as the game continues to allow this to happen, the idiots will take advantage of it so they can brag about their K/D and claim what "smart" players they are. No wonder people are dashboarding and quitting more than ever.
couldnt agree more
I completely agree the spawns SHOULD NOT work like that. I also agree with you that simply shooting someone as they spawn does not take any skill. That being said, you and your teammate must have lost the initial few battles to allow your opponents to get you in that spawn position. That's how all spawn trapping works. You lose the opening few skirmishes and now you are spawn trapped. So in a sense, they outplayed you in the opening minutes to get you into that trap And while it may not take skill to kill off the spawn, I as well as many others only care about winning. And if that is the easiest way to win a particular game, it will be done.
I will agree with you, on the point to play to win. Using tactics and strategies, and outplay your opponents. But to play like a spinless human being, when this is a form of entertainment wow, some of these people need a life.
Lol. "Spineless human being"? Not quite an applicable choice of words. But nevertheless, like I said, when the game first starts, you are not spawn trapped. If you lose the first couple fights to become spawn trapped, that is not the fault of the spawn trappers. If you really don't like it, quit. I don't lose ANY respect for people who quit when I'm spawn trapping them. I understand it may not be fun and not worth their time. I get that. But I'm not going to stop shooting and let them run away. I'm trying to win a game and I'm going to do it as quickly and efficiently as possible. If you don't like it, quit. I won't feel any differently about the opponent either way.
I think this game was designed this way. They did it to appeal to a certain audience just like thye purposely put quicksoping in. Why else hasn't it been fixed yet? Just like the Lag Comp. Designed that way. And the devs don't like when we disagree with their design decisions. Just look no further than the recent rumblings on the board over Face-off mode.
How is that fun, at all, for either party?
If you enjoy doing that TO someone... take a long look in the mirror. You've got some issues.
If you let someone do that to you... why? I'd let that happen exactly three times, then I'd be gone.
I understand the point that if it's in the game and it helps you win to spawn trap... but how can that even feel like a victory?
I guess because you win. It's better than dealing with quickscopers and corner campers who aren't even trying to win the game.
There are 5 spawns on 'Aground'. They put claymores next to 2 of the spawns which will block you from spawning there, there is also a spawn on the broken ship but since he was next to it, you could only spawn in those 2 places.
The spawns on aground are ridiculous. Even in 1v1 if you stand at the bottom of the boat they are forced to spawn in the cave. Just make it so spawns are RANDOM!!!! That way they dont know that if they stand on this ONE SPOT, that the dude they kill is going to spawn in front of them! I dont understand why they even have EXACT spawns, it should just be random. With an equation based on where the other guys are, where your team is, minimum distance from death, and minimum distance from kill. WTF is this so difficult sledgehammer?!?!?!?!
What do you expect from a group of monkeys sitting at a keyboard coding this game. No one with any skill clearly did it. If its not the spawn issue, its the lag comp, or enter glitch of the week here. These bunch of fools that desgined this game are pathetic. No other words can describe the sheer steamy pile of dung this game, and elite, is, and will become.

And here you STILL are hanging around on this forum digging up two month old topics complaining about the game.
Bet you will still buy the next one too and complain about that one.
How come people still complain about the spawns and never learn how to overcome them? I suck at the game but yet have never gotten spawn trapped.
Don't spawn right away. Let the game spawn you in, if that doesnt work, spawn with a riot shield. It sucks, but maybe this will throw them off their game a little?
I spawn with a riot shield when people see my tac, that catches them off guard.

Tough love from Bobby Jindal. It's actually debatable how much the comments to which he refers hurt Mitt Romney, but they surely didn't help at any level. But I think the issue Jindal raises here is the one that will decide how the Tea Party and the Republican Establishment live in harmony, or if they do.
Consider; Jindal speaks of "dumbed-down" conservatism when the man perceived as the intellectual leader of the conservative movement, Paul Ryan, was on the presidential ticket. But I would argue the goal of making the race about "big things" wasn't acheived, and it was why Ryan was put on the ticket.
But down ticket, Jindal has a point. The Tea Party has done tremendous things for the conservative movement. But it's in the movement's self-interest to understand that there are qualities that can help a candidate get elected that go beyond believing the right things. And holding these qualities doesn't automatically make the a RINO or an "Establishment Republican." In essence,(and a friend shared this with me recently) the Tea Party Movement needs to recruit a higher quality of candidates. That's not to say it hasn't recruited some gems; U.S. Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, to name just one.
I believe Madison businessman Eric Hovde would have been in the Johnson mold, but we may never know. Tommy Thompson certainly wasn't in the Johnson mold, but the party establishment is still strong enough to give the nomination to someone to whom they remain firecely loyal. I have few quibbles with Ryan and Governor Scott Walker, but their "non-endorsement" endorsements of Thompson were frustrating to me.
Rush Limbaugh lives by "vote for the most conservative candidate on the ballot." I still think that's good advice. What Jindal is saying is let's make sure the most conservative is also the most well rounded candidate on the ballot. If that's not what he's saying, I am.

text: Recently in Melbourne, horror film and music fans alike could hardly contain their excitement. In a world first, Italian prog-rock icons Goblin performed their intense, complex and mesmerising soundtrack to Dario Argento's surrealistic nightmare SUSPIRIA while the legendary film played. It's an interesting proposition having live musicians perform while watching a masterpiece like SUSPIRIA, especially when such a film combines striking visual language, dreamlike narrative and nail biting terror all masterfully commanding the full attention of the audience.

During the sketch, Woods -- played by Kenan Thompson -- is visibly battered and holding up signs warning that Elin -- played by Blake Lively -- has beaten him.
During the show, the audience laughs, but Smith claims, "There's nothing funny about this story, particularly if violence was part of the events that took place ... I hope that SNL refrains from using this kind of skit in the future as it diminishes people's support for victims of domestic violence."

WITCH HAZEL ASTRINGNT,OG2, 16 OZ by Humphreys Homeopathic Remedies, 0302190309162
Humphreys Homeopathic Remedies: More than a century ago, Dr. Frederick Humphreys took the lead in homeopathic circles, sharing his expertise with thousands of patients and prescribers. As one of his most pivotal and significant contributions to homeopathic medicine, Dr. Humphreys introduced his finding of homeopathic "combinations" and coined the term "Homeopathic Specifics." The value of combination preparations was that they offered, in a single dose, what traditional homeopathic physicians would prescribe by the individual ingredient, or "singles." In 1853, Dr. Humphreys became one of the leading homeopathic physicians in New York. In 1854, The Humphreys Homeopathic Medicine Co. was established (later incorporated under the name "Humphreys Pharmacal") and began to market his namesake products, Humphreys Homeopathic Specifics. These preparations, along with Dr. Humphreys' belief in natural healing, continue to be the basis for our both our homeopathic and skincare products.

Why foster fair conditions of employment in agriculture?
Fostering fair conditions of employment in agriculture emerged as a theme for the SARD Initiative during the multi-stakeholder dialogues at the Eighth Session of the Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD-8) in 2000 and of the Committee on Agriculture (COAG) in 2001.
In the field of agriculture, 450 million women and men employed as waged workers, and they account for over 40% of the total agricultural workforce. They are at the heart of the food production system but are disadvantaged in many respects. They are among the most socially vulnerable, the least organized into trade unions, and the least likely to have gender equality in opportunities, and access to effective forms of social security and protection. Many of them are employed under poor health, safety and environmental conditions.
What are conditions of employment?
Conditions of employment involve factors such as wage levels, safety levels at work, social protection, freedom of expression and organization, and gender equality.
What are fair conditions of employment?
Achieving fairer conditions of employment would provide productive work that delivers a fair income, workplace security and social protection for families, better prospects for social integration and personal development, freedom for people to express their concerns, organize and participate in the decisions that affect their lives and equality of opportunity and treatment for all women and men.
Needs and contributions of agricultural workers and their trade unions
Labour, and the important role workers can play in implementing sustainable development, is addressed in detail in Chapter 29 of Agenda 21. Workers also have a key role in the promotion of SARD (Chapter 14 of Agenda 21). However, because they constitute a core component of the rural poor, their needs must be addressed in order to move towards SARD. Farms and plantations cannot become sustainable workplaces if workers do not achieve decent employment and living conditions, and if they cannot participate in decisions that affect their lives and workplaces.
Who are rural workers? Why are they important?
Waged agricultural workers are women and men who work on farms and in agricultural, fishery and forestry enterprises, but who do not own or rent the land on which they work nor the tools and equipment they use. In this way they form a group distinct from farmers and so need special attention in order to strengthen their role in sustainable agriculture and rural development.
Agricultural workers and their trade unions play an important role in the achievement of SARD, and their contribution to making food production and food security sustainable is virtually untapped. There are many mechanisms through which they can contribute to SARD:
Relevant Issues
The Hazards of Agricultural Employment
Agriculture is one of the three most dangerous sectors in which to work, along with construction and mining. Agricultural work also tends to be physically demanding, involving long periods of standing, stooping, bending and carrying out repetitive movements in awkward body positions. The risk of accidents is increased by tiredness, badly designed tools, poor general health and, in some cases, malnutrition. Although technological change has reduced the physical hardship of agricultural work in some cases, it has brought with it new risks related to the use of sophisticated machinery and the intensive use of chemicals without appropriate safety and health measures, information and training. Other risks of agricultural employment include infectious disorders such as those transmitted by contact with domestic or wild animals, respiratory infections, allergies, occupational cancers, poisoning and musculoskeletal disorders. Out of a total of 335,000 fatal workplace accidents worldwide each year, some 170,000 of these involve agricultural workers.
International Labour Standards
The International Labour Organization (ILO) Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work is an expression of commitment by governments to encourage fair conditions of employment. Its four main thematic areas are:
The ILO has merged these four areas into the over-arching concept of "decent work". Decent work involves opportunities for work that are productive and deliver a fair income; security in the workplace and social protection for families; better prospects for personal development and social integration; freedom for people to express their concerns, organize and participate in the decisions that affect their lives; and equality of opportunity and treatment for all women and men.
The vast majority of HIV-infected people are in the productive age group – people between 15 and 50 years. The spread of HIV/AIDS has had a serious impact on rural populations and their farming systems, as well as service providers, with implications for the maintenance of a labour force, for family food security, and for the transfer of agricultural knowledge. In the 25 hardest-hit countries in Africa, AIDS has killed approximately 7 million agricultural workers since 1985. The most-affected African countries could lose up to 25% of their agricultural labour force within two decades. Fairer conditions in agriculture in relation to HIV/AIDS include increasing healthcare access for workers, instigating initiatives addressing HIV/AID as a workplace issue by means of prevention programmes, endeavouring to reduce discrimination in the workplace towards HIV positive people and people with AIDS.
Child Labour
An estimated 246 million children around the world carry out work that harms their well-being and hinders their education, development and future livelihoods. Seventy per cent of all child labourers work in agriculture. Child labour is work which abuses and exploits the child or deprives the child of an education.
The prevalence of child labour in agriculture undermines decent work, sustainable agriculture and food security, as it both maintains and results from a cycle where household income is insufficient to meet the needs of families. While children's involvement in agriculture may indeed be a normal and useful part of their socialization and self-esteem and skills development, waged agricultural workers, farmers and their organizations have vital roles to play in helping to eliminate the worst forms of child labour, to provide quality education for children and better jobs for their parents.

What can we do?
To bring about change that improves the quality of life of agricultural workers, it is necessary to:

OTTAWA — Against one of the greatest players in the world, Evgeni Malkin, Mark Borowiecki stepped up. He didn't slip up.
Sadly, Borowiecki's mother, Cynthia, did have an accidental slip — she fell on a patch of ice near the family garage and broke her arm on the day of Mark's first home game as an NHL defenceman for his hometown Senators.
"Tough timing," said Borowiecki, 23, of Kanata, standing in the Senators dressing room a day after Sunday's 2-1 shootout loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins.
While Borowiecki would have scripted a different outcome, and certainly wished his mother could have been there, he otherwise enjoyed an impressive home ice debut in his fourth career NHL game and second start this season. The 6-1, 200-pound Borowiecki, who looks like a middleweight but hits like a heavyweight, sent an array of Penguins crashing to the ice or into the boards, including two massive hits on Pittsburgh's top goal scorer, winger James Neal.
"That's my game. I'm going to play to my strength," Borowiecki said. "They told me to be physical. Be hard. I know that's what I'm here to do, to play like. I'm just doing my job."
One minute a rookie is watching players like Malkin, Neal and Sidney Crosby on TV, the next thing he knows he's facing them one-on-one for the first time. It can be daunting. Borowiecki has a credo: "no respect for anyone." Not that he means lack of respect in a derogatory way, but young players have to guard against being so awed by a superstar player that he gives him too much room.
One thing the rookie defenceman noted about the likes of Crosby and Malkin – their ability to make plays in full flight.
"It's not so much the top end speed, it's how fast they go and still have full control of the puck," Borowiecki said. "Those guys can go full out and still make plays. I definitely noticed that."
And yet, in the first period, the player aptly nicknamed 'BoroCop' was able to launch himself at Malkin and knock him off stride. Senators general manager Bryan Murray noted Borowieck's ability to close the gap on Pittsburgh's top players. Head coach Paul MacLean loved the defensive play, the 12 bodychecks in two games, plus shot blocking on penalty kills.
The tale of the scoresheet for Ottawa's No. 74 against Pittsburgh: plus one, with 18 minutes, 27 seconds played, seven hits, one giveaway and two blocked shots. Yes, the hard-nosed Borowiecki, drafted in 2008 (5th round) by the NHL team down the street from his Kanata home, comes as advertised. Tough. Physical. Classic team guy. Basically willed himself from the local Jr. A level with Smiths Falls into the NHL, via Clarkson University.
His willingness to compete, says Murray, is "out of sight."
MacLean was so pleased with the physical element Borowiecki provided against Pittsburgh and Tampa Bay, he is considering using Borowiecki and fellow rookie Patrick Wiercioch in the same lineup against the Washington Capitals Tuesday (Andre Benoît would be the odd man out). Wiercioch sat the past two games while Borowiecki got some work.
Gradually, Murray has developed a deep stable of defencemen, including three on the ice Sunday from this region: Marc Methot of Ottawa, Benoît of St. Albert and Borowiecki.
"We're getting more and more local," says Murray, a native of nearby Shawville who has shown a genuine interest in drafting and developing players from this region. "They have to be able to play but it's nice to have guys like that, there's a real meaning for them to play here."
Down the road, there are more defenceman coming, including the road from AHL Binghamton, where 6-4 Eric Gryba has taken huge strides with the B-Sens and is said to be NHL-ready, as needed.
Jared Cowen, who so impressed with Ottawa last season, will likely miss this entire truncated season following hip surgery, but will slot back into a top four spot next season. The club also has high hopes for Mike Sdao, a 6-4 D-man with Princeton, drafted in 2009.
Short term, veteran pickup Mike Lundin could return from his broken finger in a couple of weeks time to add some experience. Murray is still considering adding another defenceman via trade.
A few years down the road, as the prospects mature, the Senators envision a large, phsyically imposing defence corps, with Erik Karlsson, of course, dancing among the giants.
By then, Wiercioch, the puck mover, and Borowiecki, the bone rattler, will likely have settled into the group, and Mrs. Borowiecki will be recovered from that nasty fall that made her miss Mark's first regular season game at Scotiabank Place as a Senator.
Like her son, Cynthia is a team player. She insisted her husband, Tom, go to the game to watch Mark play. With his dad, Mark's girlfriend and some pals from Clarkson in the house, it was a night Borowiecki won't soon forget.
"It was definitely pretty special for me, but I tried not to think about it too much," Borowiecki said. "It's got to be all business for me every day."

The lawsuit accuses nine juveniles of building a campfire June 24, 2006, in violation of State and Federal fire restriction orders in effect at the time after driving into the area to camp and party.
Sparks from the camp fire spread to dry brush and ignited the wildfire, court records said.
"Upon realizing that they did not have adequate water or tools to suppress the fire, the Defendants are accused of fleeing the scene and failing to make any attempt to report the fire by calling 911 or otherwise alert authorities," the Complaint said.
The lawsuit said the nine were adjudicated in juvenile court on criminal charges related to the wildfire. The civil action seeks to recover $1.7 million in damages, naming as Defendants - Ronny Aguinaga, David Brown, Emery Gifford, Jerame Hafen, Jesse Hafen, Jordan Hafen, Kyle Isom, Andrew Jarrell, and Leah Secrist.
Some of the nine can't be located to be served with court documents and the US Attorney's Office has asked federal Magistrate Judge Evelyn J. Furse for permission to publish the lawsuit in a St. George-area newspaper as a substitute for service.

This study examines the possible set-up of a National Domestic Biogas Programme (NDBP) in Senegal by clearly stating the steps needed in order to establish the programme, as well as functions needing urgent action by key actors involved in the programme.
Study findings (workshop, field visits, and interviews) indicated that the available institutional framework in the country had sufficient potential for biogas installations. The interest on the side of farmers in the biogas sector was also high. Ministry of Energy was considered as the most suitable institution in realizing a relationship with wider institutional context, and its Agence Sénégalaise d' Electrification Rurale (ASER) - as the most appropriate implementation agency.
Study recommendations include the need for Ministry of Energy/ASER to determine, within the framework of the national budget allocation procedures, the potential Senegalese budgetary contribution on the basis of the feasibility study and its programme outline. Ministry of Energy/ASER also needs to connect itself with the ongoing process for establishing the programme and disseminating domestic biogas.
Recommendations to SNV WCA stated the urgent need for finalizing its conditions and intervention modes in biogas activities, as well as deciding on possible collaboration activities with ENDA TM. Further, SNV WCA needs to continue execute all necessary steps to be able to assign staff to the NDBP in Senegal as soon as all parties have committed themselves to the programme. The report also presents in detail all functions that need to be executed, as well as the most suitable actors for that purpose.
This report presents the outcomes of a field visit in the Kaolack region in Senegal, initiated in order to obtain more information about the practices in this region for biogas use.
Study findings in terms of cattle keeping practices revealed that most cattle households grazed their animals for 6-8hrs a day and stabled them in their compound with a rope or in a basic stable. Further, a few examples of artificial insemination were seen to improve milk and meat cows, which indicated an
interest on the side of farmers to engage in innovative activities if they proved to be beneficial. Further, manure was used to fertilise the fields at the time of planting and water was available through boreholes.
Study findings in terms of size and cooking showed that families were bigger in number than initially expected by SNV (10-15 people). It also appeared that there was only one kitchen for each family available for cooking, with big stoves fuelled by fire wood, which was mostly purchased. During the field visit it became clear that potential biogas installations would not be able to fully satisfy family cooking demand.
Energy in Africa capability statement
Report on the feasibility study on a national programme for
domestic biogas in Senegal (2007).
This study assesses the feasibility of setting-up and implementing a National Domestic Biogas Programme
(NDBP) in Senegal on a technological, economic, social and environmental level. Because of the high costs of domestic fuels, their scarcity and commercialization, there is a considerable need for domestic biogas services.
Study findings indicated that the technical conditions for operating biogas plants are met to a large extent by most households (access to water within 1km, sufficient cattle and dung on a daily basis). In order to test the demand for biogas in the country and to allow time to develop the most suitable model for installation and dissemination, a one year pilot phase has been recommended.
It was estimated that the investment cost for a typical biogas plant was high, which is why a combination of subsidy and credit has been proposed. A market-oriented introduction of the technology has been advised, where biogas construction companies would be responsible for marketing, construction and after sales service. Since such companies were not present in Senegal at that time, extensive training efforts were needed. As for an implementation partner for the programme, although Agence Senegalais d'Electification Rurale (ASER) seemed suited for assuming overall responsibility of the project, a more detailed stakeholder analysis was advised in order to select the most suitable partner.
The study presents in detail the costs and benefits associated with biogas installation, as well as detailed recommendations for future action in terms of the four analysis levels (economic, social, environmental and technological).
The 2012 SNV Mali annual report gives an insight of activities undertaken during the year in the country. The report also includes illustrations depicting the year achievements in Agriculture, Renewable Energy, Water, Sanitation and Hygiene, Health and Tousrim.
The brochure is a compilation of various case studies illustrating the impact of SNV's work in the life of millions of people in Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, DR Congo, Ethiopia, Ghana, Guinea Bissau, Kenya, Mali, Mozambique, Niger, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe.
