British Gas profits fall by 26% for first half of 2014
Operating profits for British Gas residential energy supply fell by 26% to £265 million for the first half of the year, owner Centrica has announced.
British Gas denies staff bonus claims
British Gas has denied claims it paid its staff bonuses to inflate customers' bills.
According to the Daily Mail, a former employee said the policy encouraged staff to target charities and small businesses, with workers told they could triple their salary through commission if they sold enough of the most expensive deals as possible.
A British Gas spokeswoman said: "British Gas strongly refutes any suggestion that employees are paid commission on any prices charged to residential customers. This is a highly regulated and competitive market, every part of the sales negotiation process for business customers is closely monitored.
"We take very seriously any concerns raised by employees or customers, and our processes, as well as sales agents' terms, are regularly reviewed to ensure they are fair and appropriate."
British Gas 'sorry' for blocking business switching
British Gas have responded to an Ofgem investigation where they were found to have wrongly blocked businesses from switching to new suppliers.
British Gas Business say they have "agreed to a penalty of £800,000 and will invest at least £3.45 million in an energy efficiency".
We have compensated all our current customers affected by this issue and we are in the process on contacting and compensating affected customers who have since moved to other suppliers.
More: British Gas fined £5.6m over blocks on switching
Stephen Beynon, Managing Director of British Gas Business also said:
We're sorry these errors occurred and have worked swiftly to change our computer systems and processes, putting controls in place to stop this happening again.
We take any failure to meet our obligations very seriously and will ensure that the new energy efficiency fund we have set up will be a real help to hundreds of small businesses.
British Gas fined £5.6m over blocks on switching
British Gas will pay £5.6m after being found to have wrongly blocked businesses from switching to new suppliers.
The energy giant's computers and practices "failed customers", regulator Ofgem said. Some small businesses were the worst hit by the practices.
There will be anger that once again an energy company's actions have fallen so far short of it's promises to do it's best for hard pressed customers.
British Gas is Britain's biggest energy firm with thousands of staff - yet says it has "nobody available" to appear on ITV News to explain its latest failings to customers.
As I said to their press office, "shame on British Gas".
Centrica: Uncertainty could damage energy investment
The chief executive of Centrica, which owns British Gas, has welcomed the major competition inquiry into energy firms but said a lengthy review could damage investment when the market's "security is being seriously challenged."
Sam Laidlaw said: "Anything that clears the air and helps rebuild trust in the industry must be a good thing. Britain's energy market is highly competitive and we believe that a full independent review by a respected regulatory authority would demonstrate precisely that.
"Competition is working, providing choice for consumers and some of the lowest prices in Europe.
"We hope that a lengthy review process will not damage confidence in the market, when over £100 billion of investment in new infrastructure is needed.
"A prolonged period of uncertainty could damage investment at a time when Britain's energy security is being seriously challenged."
British Gas bills 'still up compared to last year'
British Gas has announced it will cut its duel fuel energy bills by an average of £53 from 1st January, but its customers bills will still be higher than last year:
Bills still up compared to last year, but British Gas reversing part of its planned 9 percent price increase
British Gas 'to cut duel fuel bills by £53 from 1 January'
British Gas announced it is to cut dual fuel energy bills by an average of £53 from 1st January.
How the British Gas price increase compares to rivals
The British Gas 10.4% price increase is the latest in a line of winter bill rises from the "big six" providers over the past week:
- SSE increased prices by around 8.2%, impacting 7.3 million customers
- EDF Energy revealed plans for a 3.9% hike. Less than half the increase of its rivals, the firm chose not to pass on the costs of green levies - in anticipation of them being scrapped
- Co-operative Energy also scaled back its price increase from 4.5% to 2%.
- German-owned E.ON has warned that tariff rises are "increasingly likely" and is reportedly planning to announce a new year rise later this month.
British Gas raises prices for eight million homes
Millions of people will wake up to higher energy costs today when British Gas hikes its prices in the latest round of winter bill rises.
Nearly eight million customers of the Centrica-owned energy giant face a 10.4% increase in electricity prices, while gas will rise by 8.4% - meaning the average customer dual-fuel bill will rise by £123 to £1,444 a year, according to Ofgem usage figures.
Centrica chief forgoes bonus amid energy bill rise row
The head of Centrica, which owns British Gas, has decided not to take his bonus this year as anger over soaring household energy bills continue.
Consumers' trust in the energy sector is at an "all time low" and there was an urgent need to rebuild it, chief executive Sam Laidlaw said at the CBI annual conference in London.
He announced his decision not to take bonus and added that there was a need for leadership in the current environment which had to be balanced with being able to attract employees.
"Just to continue in this world where households are under pressure, and assume it is business as normal, is not the way thoughtful remuneration committees think about it," Mr Laidlaw said.
He also repeated the industry's pledge to cut bills if the Government switches environment and social costs to other forms of taxation.

Help Sherry Konkus Fund Her Concert Harp Crowdfund Project
- Where
- Owosso, MI
- When
- January 31, 2014at 8:00 pm
Growing up in Owosso, MI, I always dreamed of performing on a large concert grand harp I often saw and heard on TV and while reading books becoming excited and enthralled by its sound it makes as well as its graceful appearance. Years later, when I was 17 years old, I finally got a chance to play on one of those instruments and loved every minute of it. So much so that I just have to get a concert grand harp for my very own. But because of the high price of the harp which is ranged from 10K to a whopping 250K no matter if it's new or used, I was forced to put up a huge struggle to raise funds to buy my own harp, resorting to deal with rental harps I only had for a short time before sending them back because I wasn't able to afford renting them much longer. If my project is fully funded or better yet has exceeded the goal of raising $10,000, I'll buy a wonderful concert harp similar to the one Harpo Marx played in the classic Marx Brothers films.

Request for the Linux Dev Driver folks: module auto-comp
The Nvidia driver just works, as we all know. And for the proprietary, that's pretty damn good. ATI can't come close in LinuxLand. But there is one final step for Nvidia to take. One thing that I have only seen HP do in the proprietary driver market.
HP's new Proliant Service Pack, 7.70 for linux, has a userland shim that checks at boot to see if it's kernel modules are loaded- aka if the kernel version has changed. It then recompiles/reinserts the modules into the currently running kernels /usr/lib/modules, etc. I had never seen this done before with proprietary drivers, but I thought it was very cool. Until you properly uninstall the PSP, it will keep checking at boot and recompiling itself for the running kernel.
The script they use to do this seems fairly simple, and it's freely available, so I was wondering if Nvidia might have a look at what can be done with their driver. I think their Linux driver is pretty much neck and neck with their windows one, if not beyond it in some cases, but this one last mile would make a huge difference.
Recompiling proprietary drivers between kernel versions is what makes proprietary drivers suck for the user. This would be a big boon for Nvidia and make it irritation and/or dumbass proof. Just a thought.
I know you will have to investigate this, and I'll post whatever information you need. You folks more than likely use HP servers, but who knows. Thank you.
Re: Request for the Linux Dev Driver folks: module auto-comp
Re: Request for the Linux Dev Driver folks: module auto-comp
IMHO, that 'recompile the driver module' stuff is something the distris should do.
Oh wait, some already do that! Like gentoo...
But, how many 'dumbass' users compile their own kernels? And why does anybody want another second of boot time, if he only updates the kernel every couple of month?
Re: Request for the Linux Dev Driver folks: module auto-comp
It's easy to do this yourself. Just something like this to your /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
# Get the current kernel release
Re: Request for the Linux Dev Driver folks: module auto-comp
Such a feature would be in deed helpfull, but as already pointed out,
this should better be taken into account by the distributors - i for one
actually wouldn't like the nvidia-installer trying (and potentialy
failing) to mess around with my startup scripts :-)
A much better solution would actually be to further abstract the
driver in the following way: a generic GPLed kernel module
1. redirect interrupts into user space
2. maps PCI registers and PCI memory to user space
3. maps DMA capable memory to user space
4. provides in ioctl() that allows to ask for the physical addresses for
allocated DMA pages mapped in virtual memory.
This scheme would allow a hardware vendor to implement the
driver completly in user space - no need to bother around with
the kernel any more ...
BTW.: 1&2 has already been implemented:
3&4 shouldn't be all that hard *g*
Re: Request for the Linux Dev Driver folks: module auto-comp
Thank you guys. Very good insight. It's good to know that we are half way into user space, but bad to know that it's not there yet. Thanks for the simple script Masemo, I appreciate it.
While distro's should be setting the boot scripts for their own userland, this is proprietary software. If you are going to taint the kernel, what is reinstalling when the kernel gets upgraded going to do worse than the present system?
I suppose it's precautionary because who knows how a new kernel will interact with this proprietary, and possibly hard freezing module.
But I'm just saying, it would be nice to be given an option by the driver itself. Just like it was nice when 3dfx had a 3d capable module. You didn't need it- but it made gaming suck less.
People can be idiots and patch their kernel. It's not exclusive to the intelligent since package management was invented. I 'm saying it would be one less "Oh Man Grandma Can't See The Screen" after an automagical kernel update.
I don't see the harm in going all the way- since you stuck it half way inside in the first place. Somebody here is kidding themselves, and it ain't me. Either you have a proprietary- it's gonna blow my **** to hell- drivers, or you don't. And you do.
So like MS says, you'll either update to Vista or buy it outright. But the end result is the same. You ain't got no choice, so you might as well make it suck less. That's my point. If this were a GPL discussion where we had a clue and could test it, that would be another matter. In any case, thank you for the tips. I'm glad you all have disparate opinions. Not boring at all.
Re: Request for the Linux Dev Driver folks: module auto-comp
there is a bazillion linux distributions out there.
And ca bazillion/2 ways to boot.
You CAN NOT make a single 'modules autobuild' script that works everywhere. You can not even make one working on all the major distris.
So if someone is able to make such a script, it is the distribution. They know, how they boot, which init they use, the structure of their init-scripts and where such a function would fit. And they are the only one who know that. Nobody else.
That said. How many times does someone installs a new kernel and needs to reinstall the driver? And how hard is it to log in as root and let the installer run? Restarting X afterwards?
Re: Request for the Linux Dev Driver folks: module auto-comp
It can be very hard to login as root and stop X and run the installer. You are thinking like the person that owns a desktop, not like the person that remotely admins 4000 machines.
The only solution at this point for a corporate environment is Intel graphics, since no such shenanigans are required. In some environments, such as modeling and heavy graphics, Nvidia would be a better choice for performance reasons. We'd just like the option of choosing a second vendor.
Re: Request for the Linux Dev Driver folks: module auto-comp
a) if the module is not found, X will fail. So you don't have to stop it. Just restart after module installation.
b) if you are a corporate user, you won't update your kernel monthly - or at all. So that point of yours is moot.
c) 4000 desktops, see b.
d) if you really are a corporate user with many thousand desktops, doing monthly kernel updates and not able to stop X (lol), you should be able to hack a simple script, like the one posted.
e) at least one of the leading edge distros (gentoo), can rebuild every external module on boot without user interaction.
This 'functionality' is a 'problem' that has to be solved by the distris - or the professional users who need it.
Re: Request for the Linux Dev Driver folks: module auto-comp
Re: Request for the Linux Dev Driver folks: module auto-comp
a) if you need to reinstall the driver, X is not running anyway, so stopping it is a non-issue
b) if you need to do a kernel update, what prevents you to install the driver on reboot?
c) how many times in the past years parts of the userland of the nvidia driver changed? I count none.
d) since every f*ing distri has its own way to boot and own way where to put its stuff only the distris can do an automatically reinstallation of external drivers.
e) some distris can do it already, so it is not hard. Pestering the ones who don't is the smart mans choice. Especially so called 'enterprise distributions' should listen to the wishes of their corporate users.
f) nouveau is not usable now and will not be usuable for a long time.
g) even with intel graphics you are not safe from problems on booting a new kernel.
Re: Request for the Linux Dev Driver folks: module auto-comp
On a personal note, why would anyone oppose having the vendor of a product make that product integrate into the target environment better? Ask yourself, what motivation do you have to not want the use of Nvidia's driver to be easier or even transparent? Yes, it will make corporate life easier, but end-users will certainly benefit as well. Just look through the myriad of problems users have going from release to release in these forums. There is a problem.

On March 10, 2011, Phutureprimitive embarked on a month and a half tour in support of Kinetik.

Gligar seems to be different colors in certain games. Sometimes its a pink color, and sometimes it's a dark purple kind of color.
Examples of the purple color:
Examples of the pink color:
In the anime it seems to be even pinker looking:
Is Gligar just supposed to be a different color depending on which one you find, or is the pink color its default color? I'm just curious about this, since I only really noticed the color difference with Gligar.

Gallery: The Last Resort: A Solar Powered Floating Home
Living on the water is a dream for many — fortunately, this design for a solar-powered floating home may soon see open water! Brought to you by the same designers who came up with the futuristic bicycle sharing system for Copenhagen, RAFAA Architecture & Designs have conceived of a mobile floating home called The Last Resort. The design recently won a competition, and with funding underway the team expects to begin fabrication on these sleek water homes by the end of the year.

This is sure to save the world as the floating home serves as damper for the wave. The more floating homes, the bigger wave they can damp. Also the human natural wastes serve as fertiliser to the water plant which provide food for the water creatures. We can then eat the seaweed and seafood. This also help restore the balance between oxygen and carbon dioxide and reverse the effect of global warming.

Missouri, Kansas Reject Health Exchanges
By Elana Gordon
Originally published on Tue November 13, 2012 5:36 am
Immediately after last week's election, Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon announced the state would not be setting up its own health insurance exchange. Next door in Kansas, Gov. Sam Brownback announced that Kansas will have no involvement in running a state exchange either. The moves open the door for increased federal involvement in health care in staunchly Republican territory.

"The most striking characteristic of Delitiae Musicae's performing vocabulary is the group's ability to sing completely as one, with all voices completely blended, to sing as five quite seperate personalities, or to sing anywhere in between these two poles. The all-male ensemble creates a three-dimensional aural canvas that constantly shifts as it actively reaches out to fill the ear." - C. Moore, American Record Guie

Hawaii bleaching the worst on record
Staff Report
FRISCO — Even without a surge of El Niño ocean heat, there was widespread coral bleaching across parts of the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean this past summer.
Reefs in the Florida Keys saw their worst bleaching episode since 1997-1999, when a major El Niño was followed by strong La Niña conditions, NOAA scientists reported recently. The surprising intensity of bleaching across multiple ocean basins in 2014 has scientists wondering what to expect in 2015, when El Niño is forecasted to finally develop. Continue reading

Cathedral mother teaches importance of volunteeringPublished 12:05am Friday, August 23, 2013
NATCHEZ — Gina Cauthen is a teacher, but she doesn't have a classroom.
She doesn't use a textbook; she prefers to teach by example.
Her students are her three children and volunteering is just one of the life lessons she teaches.
It is an important lesson; one that she learned by example from her parents.
"My mother was a teacher, cheerleader sponsor, worked the concession stand and was chairman of Fall Festival," Cauthen said. "Every minute we had we spent at Cathedral."
Cauthen's children would probably say the same thing about their mother today.
"If there is something that needs to be done, Gena is there to do it," Cathedral Elementary principal Shannon Bland said.
Cauthen is one of the many volunteer parents at the school, working to keep the school an energetic and exciting learning environment, Bland said.
Thursday Cauthen was busy helping prepare the school's concession stand, cleaning the bathrooms and getting the football field ready for the first game of the season.
When she is not on the field, she also volunteers on several committees and helps coordinate fundraising for the school's annual magazine sale.
"Even if she has a million things to do, she is going to find the time to squeeze one more in," Bland said.
While the school is near to her heart, Cauthen says Cathedral is not the reason she does it.
"Your kids are your life," Cauthen said. "They learn by example."
Cauthen said she wants to to show her children that they have to take care of what they have, whether it is their school, church, community or even their history. If you don't show love and care for your community than you risk losing it, Cauthen said.
"If I don't take care of what I have, then they, in turn, won't learn to take care of what they have."
That is why Cauthen said she volunteers at the school, works on the Natchez City Cemetery Board, works in the Pilgrimage Garden Club and volunteers each month at the Natchez Stewpot. Her two oldest children come along to help serve food.
"My son has even learned how to cook," Cauthen said.
Her youngest daughter now asks to come along and Cauthen is thankful.
"She wants to go, because (her brother and sister) go," Cauthen said. "She will grow up knowing that's a part of what you need to do."

I couldn't understand coriolan, seriously. This one is a chypre yet almost powdery at a same time... Anyway, if you can find it in a 'good' price, it's really a keeper ;)
Big and loud!
Oh thank you Slim!! what an enjoyable threads that explain so much ;)
Well, Quorum is a "must try" for leather lover. This one is potent, seriously.
what about Aigner in Leather? easy going and affordable ;)
Oud pure essential oil, indeed. You really can't stop the "horn."
Lancetti Via Condotti Pour Homme to me. It smells rather peppery close to the skin, but it lingers with beauty fruity aura for, say, 5 meters... its sillage is great

Okay. Well guys, FYI in Indonesia Spa (from five stars hotels to resorts), Meratus is on the list of service. They even called it "Vagina Spa"-literally (V-Spa ratus, V-spa, Female-spa, etc)....
great to know the tips. I think i'll practice it accordingly ;)
so anyone with the same problem please post the pics ;)
oouu yes anderson. i love perfume shrine too. And 'wayang' (shadow puppet) too ;)

Thanks for the article Mike. It makes a clear statement: CB who hates perfume who creates perfumes who sells em is a wanker.
wow very nice point! And i think, yes the industry sees people who use just one perfume till it dried up. not, like us (basenoters-helo) who can't resist to filled our wardrobe with zillions frags.
Thanks Riannon . So it is V'E Versace. Love to find it out. I already solved the second bottle. It's Arôme Absolu (EDP) by Jeanne Arthès. It not in Bn directory yet.
So, the mystery solved!.. LOVE
So, what is your conclusion? Is there any significance relation between odor, sexuality and erotic imaginary. If it says so, it might be short of validation for sexy frags. Or maybe you have to...

How about, you also wear Burberry London for Men R? You will be boldly match with your spouse, and ofcourse without friction. Can you handle that?
How about Eau du Soir-Sisley, Fleurs d'Orlane, or White Linen-Elisabeth Arden. I think they will be flourish your femininity with woody-petlas scents.

This thread is dedicated to identify fragrances by its picture. Sometime we get difficulties to identify...
aawwwhh I love indonesia too. But, to my lack experience, I can't find any perfumer (perfume artists) in Indonesia. comments?
So it can be called genital-bacon?.. eeww
well, to me, REL is one subtle leather. whenever I think it's really here, and then... it's disappear
it's Terre d'Hermes. I was in office. working late, dark and quiet. A lady from Human Research Department knocked my door, and asked me about what kind of scent i wore that she apparently noticed it...
Aigner in Leather
I love leather... *sigh
Launched by the design house of Eternal Love Parfums in 1997, ATTITUDE by Eternal Love Parfums is classified as a fragrance. This masculine scent posesses a blend of: orris, mandarin, musk and moss,...
I believe they both changed over time. Since our signature scent depends on our age, food, and gender, fragrance will be a enhancer to utter personal attitude. We really do try to find such fitness,...
Maybe you can try Eau du Sud or Eau d'Hadrien, both by Annick Goutal. Boss Moves from Hugo Boss also rich in oranges or you might be in love to citronella notes on 212 Splash for men. Good luck!

Pope Francis has written the first papal encyclical focused solely on the environment, attempting to reframe care of the earth as a moral and spiritual concern, and not just a matter of politics, science and economics. In the document, "Laudato Si: On Care for Our Common Home," he argues that the environment is in crisis – cities to oceans, forests to farmland. He emphasizes that the poor are most affected by damage from what he describes as economic systems that favor the wealthy, and political systems that lack the courage to look beyond short-term rewards. But the encyclical is addressed to everyone on the planet.
Read the entire Encyclical posted on the Vatican website.

We investigated the role of increasingly well-constrained geologic structures in the subsurface (i.e., subsurface architecture) in predicting streambed flux and hyporheic residence time distribution (RTD) for a headwater stream. Five subsurface realizations with increasingly resolved lithological boundaries were simulated in which model geometries were based on increasing information about flow and transport using soil and geologic maps, surface observations, probing to depth to refusal, seismic refraction, electrical resistivity (ER) imaging of subsurface architecture, and time-lapse ER imaging during a solute tracer study. Particle tracking was used to generate RTDs for each model run. We demonstrate how improved characterization of complex lithological boundaries and calibration of porosity and hydraulic conductivity affect model prediction of hyporheic flow and transport. Models using hydraulic conductivity calibrated using transient ER data yield estimates of streambed flux that are three orders of magnitude larger than uncalibrated models using estimated values for hydraulic conductivity based on values published for nearby hillslopes (10−4 vs. 10−7 m2/s, respectively). Median residence times for uncalibrated and calibrated models are 103 and 100 h, respectively. Increasingly well-resolved subsurface architectures yield wider hyporheic RTDs, indicative of more complex hyporheic flowpath networks and potentially important to biogeochemical cycling. The use of ER imaging to monitor solute tracers informs subsurface structure not apparent from other techniques, and helps to define transport properties of the subsurface (i.e., hydraulic conductivity). Results of this study demonstrate the value of geophysical measurements to more realistically simulate flow and transport along hyporheic flowpaths.

30 year old man | Medina, OH, USA | Seeking women 20-32 within 25 miles
Almost submitted my application to the He-Man Women Hater Club..... Not going to give it too much longer!!!
I am someone who enjoys now but is always looking 2 steps ahead. I was in the Marines for 8 years. I am originally from Ohio. I currently work in Texas in the oil industry but spent my free time back in Cali. I am not a huge fan of Texas and do not plan to settle here. I do plan on working back in Cali but I am waiting for the right time to do so. Lets see... I have been told I am a charmer but I haven't figure out why they say that. Im just trying to do me. I don't try to be something I am not but I don't limit myself to what I can be. I have traveled to at least 11 countries and hope to take my "match" to many more. There are a few things left on my "to do list" and I am still adding: sky dive (soon to be checked off), hike America, learn how to surf, finally play the guitar I bought, learn how to play a piano, land a leading role in a feature film, play in a WSOP (poker) circuit event, buy my own race car, oh.... And see the Cleveland Browns finally make it to the playoffs before its my time to go! So what am I looking for... I guess I want to feel that feeling you get when you meet someone special. Like that one you can open up to and from the get go and make it seem like you've known each other your whole life . I know there still has to be someone special for me out there. I just hope we meet soon. I guess that's it for now. Just send me a message and we will see how it goes.

BALTIMORE - OCTOBER 11: Ray Lewis #52 of the Baltimore Ravens meditates on the bench before the game against the Cincinnati Bengals at M&T Bank Stadium on October 11, 2009 in Baltimore, Maryland. The Bengals defeated the Ravens 17-14. (Photo by Larry French/Getty Images)
Lost in the Ravens' 9-6 win over the Chiefs Sunday afternoon was the defense getting pushed around defending against the run. Kansas City's Jamaal Charles racked up 140 yards against the Ravens' defense, something that hasn't happened in a long time. So what was the problem Sunday? For starters, Haloti Ngata, Pernell McPhee and inside linebacker Ray Lewis were getting blocked all game. Lewis, in particular, struggled to get to Charles or any of the other Chiefs' backs. In the offseason, Lewis chose to lose some weight because the league has become a passing league. However, that weight loss seems to have cost Lewis defending the run. Lewis is still a dominant defender, ending up with 10 tackles, but for most of the first half, if not the whole game, he was getting blown off the ball by the Chiefs' offensive line. Should he be taken off the field in certain situations? I don't think that's the answer because he's still better than a lot of the linebackers in the NFL. The Ravens may t...

Should fertiliser subsidy go?
First, it was fuel subsidy removal. Now, it is fertiliser subsidy removal.The first generated heat; nothing is being heard about the other because the issues seem not to be as significant as the fuel subsidy. But such analogy may be wrong because fertiliser is crucial to food production. Self-sufficiency in food can only be achieved by making fertiliser easily accessible to and affordable by farmers. The Federal Government intends to stop fertiliser import to allow private investors drive the business. But some stakeholders, are supporting fertiliser subsidy retention, reports DANIEL ESSIET.
For Nigeria to feed itself and others, it needs to increase the productivity of farmers. Farmers need better seeds and fertiliser, which boost productivity, yields and profitability.
Although the government subsidises fertiliser, being the sole importer of the product, the subsidy seems to have hindered easy access to, and the free flow of, the commodity resulting in its determination to leave the business of fertiliser to the private sector. The decision is generating heat. While some stakeholders support the deregulation of the fertiliser market to enthrone accessibility, others are pushing for the continued subsidisation of the commodity in view of the poor financial capacity of most rural farmers.
But the question is: Do the farmers who need the product more get it?
Sidi Bweta, a 32-year-old farmer living in Guyuk, a rural town in Adamawa State, lamenting the difficulty in accessing fertiliser, said for as long as he could remember, his mother had been buying fertiliser for their small family farm from one of the local households that has access to it.
Bweta, who said he has started his own small maize and sorghum farm of 1.5 hectares, is unsure of where to buy fertiliser for his crops. He said he is still depending on his mother's connections.
"The government controls fertiliser distribution in our state. If you are not connected to one of the households taht has access to the product, you cannot access it," he explained.
According to him, the government provides subsidised fertiliser to the ward councilors, who redistribute it to the town elders. The elders resell fertiliser to those households that have been providing political patronage over the years.
The households either use the fertiliser on their farms or resell to relatives and close friends, such as Bweta's family. The rural retail market is also an unreliable source of fertiliser as the traders often buy up the supplies and sell at big markets in urban centres at higher costs, Sidi said.
Bweta, however, has discovered an alternative source. Across the street from his local bank, Ayuba Bwangale, a rural sales agent, sells fertiliser produced by Notore Chemical Industries Limited, Port Harcourt, a leading fertiliser company, in one-kilogramme packs. When Bweta bought fertiliser, Bwangale taught him how to space and plant the seeds in addition to using the fertiliser properly.
Bwangale is one of 10 Village Promoters (VPs) trained by Notore to act as independent rural fertiliser merchants in Adamawa State. The VPs' sales training is unique in that they educate farmers who buy their products.
Support for private
sector intervention
Speaking with The Nation, the Programme Co-ordinator, Farmers Development Union (FADU), Mr Victor Olowe, said fertiliser subsidy has not helped farmers. Those benefiting from it, he noted, are politicians who don't have farms.
Canvassing the deregulation of the fertiliser market, Olowe said it would enable farmers to access various brands and improve their farm productivity. Farmers, he said, need fertiliser for better produce.
In his contribution, the Managing Director, Mid–Century Agro-Allied Ventures Limited, Mr Ray Obiajulu, said the government's involvement in fertiliser purchase and distribution is one of the main reasons for low consumption. The fertiliser programme, he observed, is heavily politicised, with many politicians using fertiliser supply and subsidies to garner votes and reward patronage.
Chief Executive, Notore Chemical Industries Limited, Mr Onajite Paul Okoloko, said: "The subsidies cost the government dearly and often benefit the wrong people."
Above all, he said many poor farmers find it difficult to buy the 50kg bags of fertiliser. They either buy in small units from open bags, which often contain degraded or adulterated products, or wait in vain to receive subsidised fertiliser, thus missing out on applying it at the optimum time, if at all.
He said the company, aware of the inconsistencies in government distribution network, decided to develop private distribution channels to make fertiliser available to farmers in small quantities.
Okoloko said the introduction of the one kilogramme fertiliser bag was to address the financial challenges of subsistent farmers.
"The farmers, who earn less than $1 (N150) a day, live far away from market centres and cannot access the markets easily. Not only do the farmers find it difficult to come up with the cash to buy the 50kg bag of fertiliser, but carrying it home from the marketplace also poses a challenge for them," he said.
He added that while introducing the one kilogramme bag, they selected salesmen also known as Village Promoters. Notore, Okoloko said, conducted a rigorous and transparent nationwide recruitment of distribution partners, in which one of every five applicants emerged as a distribution partner.
To enhance farmers' access to fertiliser, he said Notore has embarked on aggressive fertiliser processing.
Okoloko said the development would enhance farmers' productivity and income.
According to him, the company is targeting 1.7 million tonnes in the next four years, adding that such will enable Nigeria to be self sufficient in food.
Case for subsidy
Mrs Atim Udoh operates a farm on Eket-Etinan Road in Akwa Ibom State. After much effort, her harvest increased, producing plenty of food for her family and more than enough to sell at the local market.
The difference, she said, is fertiliser. For years, this basic input was simply beyond her means and those of other farmers.
Costing about N7,000 a bag, fertiliser was just too expensive to use, and buying it on credit was too great a risk for farmers who are at the mercy of the rains and poor-quality seeds.
Then the government began subsidising fertiliser and high-yielding seeds for farmers. The move cut fertiliser prices by 80 per cent.
There is no doubt that making high-quality seeds and fertiliser affordable for small farmers, such as Mrs Udoh, will be the key to the government's agriculture transformation agenda.
The fertiliser subsidy programme is seen as a model by a number of African governments and international agriculture development agencies.
Speaking with The Nation, Etekhai Martins, a professor of Fisheries at the Lagos State University (LASU), said farmers need subsidy on fertiliser to mitigate the effects of food crisis.
The success of the agricultural transformation agenda, he noted, depends to a large extent on optimal fertilisation and timeliness in planting. None of the essential input is within the grasp of many small farmers.
Martins said fertiliser subsidy is important; and if truly managed has the potential for big gains in a short time. Even with the reduction of interest rate, Martins said most farmers are too poor to pay commercial rates for fertiliser and seeds.
He advised the government to set up more distribution channels in remote areas to increase farmers' access to fertiliser, and to encourage banks to provide guarantees.
Government's position
The Federal Government is set to withdraw from fertiliser import and distribution to allow the private sector to move in, arguing that the fertiliser subidy programme is costly and prone to mismanagement and corruption.
Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Dr Akinwumi Adesina said there would no longer be fertiliser contractors because the system in which the government imported and distributed fertiliser was ineffective, inefficient and corrupt as only about 11 per cent of farmers enjoyed the subsidy.
Adesina said under the new arrangement, fertiliser importers would have to build their markets and sell directly to farmers. Last year, the Federal Government said it spent N22.30 billion on subsidy for 900,000 metric tons of fertiliser so that farmers could get the commodity at a lower price yet most farmers could not access the commodity.
Experts' opinions
The Executive Secretary, Fertiliser Suppliers Association of Nigeria (FEPSAN), Ahmed Kwa, said the nation has the potential to produce its fertiliser. He said the abundant natural gas flared could be harnessed to produce nitrogenous fertilisers.
He said there are large quantities of rock phosphate deposits in Sokoto, Niger, Kwara, Oyo, Ogun that can be used for the production of phosphate fertilisers.
"The only raw material that is not yet found in substantial quantity in Nigeria is potassium deposits. Even this can be sourced from our North African neighbours."
Due to the lack of local production, Kwa said most of the fertiliser used in the country is imported.
"The consequences of relying on imported fertiliser include draining the foreign reserve, insufficient supply due to high capital for importation and high retail prices which make the input unaffordable. These, to a large extent, have led to insufficient fertiliser and the little available very expensive."
Despite this, he said there was hope for the revitalisation of local manufacture of fertilisery. The factors that favour this, Kwa said, include, large expanse of arable land and ecologies that are conducive for the cultivation of a variety of crops; withdrawal of the Federal Government from direct production and importation of fertiliser – especially the privatisation of its two main production plants – and privatisation of state governments' fertiliser blending plants, among others.
Substantial investments have made to boost fertiliser supply. This includes Notore Chemical Industries Limited's installed capacity of one million metric tonnes for Urea, Ammonia and NPK and Federal Super Phosphate Fertiliser Company (FSFC) with the capacity for 100,000 metric tonnes of single super phosphate.
There are about 25 bulk blending plants in the country. Most of them are owned by state governments. About five of them are owned by private entrepreneurs. They have an installed capacity of about 1.8 million metric tonnes.
An effective fertiliser distribution system, Kwa explained, ensures that the right quality of fertiliser are delivered to farmers in the right quantity at the right time; and that they have access to fertiliser close to their farm gates.
Under the public sector distribution system, Kwa said various models were applied, and different prices charged due to variation in subsidy level. This, he explained, promoted diversion and recycling as well as corrupt practices.
Following the liberalisation in 1997, he said many private sector entrepreneurs have entered the fertiliser market. Kwa said many set up distribution networks, and were using their outlets/depots to sell to their dealers in major agricultural areas who resell to farmers.
According to him, the liberalisation saw the rapid development of fertiliser selling points in the country.
Except for one or two companies, Kwa said the private suppliers are not making efforts to develop the market chain.
"Most suppliers rely mainly on government orders, which they readily deliver on credit basis. But they insist on full payment for orders by private distributors. While government takes delivery on credit, private distributors are required to operate on cash-and-carry basis. However, this may be because of the experiences of suppliers who had lost money fraudsters. This is common in the country."
A consultant to the African Development Bank, Prof Biyi Daramola, said neither the subsidy nor fertiliser is a solution to the complex agricultural problems.
He noted that making farming profitable, sustainable and productive will require land use reform, political empowerment of rural communities, long-term investments in irrigation, sustainable fertiliser use and soil management, modern farm technology and extension services, and transport and communication systems.
According to him, the seeds of food security can grow with just a little fertiliser and a lot of political commitment at the top.
Although poor farmers rarely access fertiliser, the major beneficiaries of subsidies, he noted, are politicians.
At present, the nation doesn't have a strong commercial fertiliser industry.There are three major companies involved in the business: Notore Chemicals Industries Limited, Federal Supper Phosphate Fertiliser Company and TAK Continental Limited.
There are many small enterprises which have no primary chemical production at all, they buy their materials to make mixtures or blends, which are termed compound fertiliser.
Clearly, investments in infrastructure and transport (roads, rail, ports) and reduction in clearing processes by the Customs are part of the long-term solution to increasing fertiliser use in the country. Fertiliser is bulky. As a result, transport costs are a major element of the total cost of delivery to the farm and can have a major impact on the profitability of a factory or distributor.
Cost disparity
Changes in fertiliser prices and/or subsidies are as politically sensitive as changes in food prices. In the past two decades, the government has not made tremendous effort to develop domestic supply and reduce dependence on the world market.
Government, banks to fund fertiliser, seeds supply
Last year, the federal ministries of Finance and Agriculture signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with commercial banks for the supply of N30 billion worth of fertiliser and seeds to farmers.
Speaking at the signing of the MoU, Finance Minister Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala gave a breakdown of the loan. She said N22.6 billion was earmarked for fertiliser, N2.7 billion for seeds procurement and the balance for agro-dealers with each of them entitled to N3 million.
She added that the loan shall be made available to registered agriculture input dealers across the six geo-political zones at a subsidised interest rate of seven per cent per annum with the Ministry of Finance guaranteeing 70 per cent of the loan principal payment.
It is envisaged that the partnership will ensure that at least 500,000 farmers have access to the input and the initiative to create about 3,500 jobs and also generate 20 million metric tons of food.
The minister said the Growth Enhancement Support (GES) programme, which is private- sector driven and supported under the financing arrangement with the government guarantees 70 per cent of the total loan (about N17 billion of the loan amount) replacing the old inefficient fertiliser system that was led by the government.
Fake fertiliser
There have been reports of some traders selling fake fertiliser believed to be a combination of fertiliser residues and stones.
The composition of the product is very low compared to the chemical fertiliser. Its chemical composition shows that it is organic fertiliser (manure). Farmers in Kwali Area Council of the FCT alleged that adulterated fertiliser was sold to them by the council at subsided rates.
A farmer, Mr Yohanna Gabriel Bako ,said he bought 24 bags of fertiliser from the council which were adulterated with sands.
In his reaction, the Chairman of Kwali Area Council, Mr Joseph K. Shazin, confirmed the allegation, describing the incident as unfortunate. He said the council would investigate and report to the Federal Ministry of Agriculture for further action.
Fertiliser pricing
The financial status of farmers could be improved if their production prices are higher than the costs of fertiliser. In general, farmers produce below costs thus losing a great deal in the bargain. Fertiliser costs 35 per cent more than the list price by the time it gets to farmers. Small farmers' income from farming is insufficient for them to live on. they have to subsidise with other on-farm and off-farm income-generating activities.
The main issue is that producer prices are not keeping pace with the cost of fertiliser. This has inhibited usage. Government approved the selling of fertiliser for 2011 cropping season as follows: NPK N2,000 and Urea N1,900 against the purchase price of N4,750 and N5,500 per bag.
There are many challenges for small farmers. Labour is insufficient to allow more than small areas to be weeded. Yield losses and total crop failure are often due to inadequate weeding. Small farmers' crops are subject to attack by pests.
Generally, understanding the importance of matching crop variety with field conditions is poor among small farmers.
Need for local manufacture
Importation of fertiliser can be reduced by using locally available raw materials to manufacture them.
The constraint is the availability of raw materials such as lime, nitrogen and vermiculate used to manufacture fertiliser.
High transportation costs and other transaction costs also push up fertiliser costs, making them unaffordable by farmers.

The Giants announced the move Thursday while adding they waived-injured defensive end Justin Trattou and signed defensive back-return specialist Laron Scott and defensive tackle Bobby Skinner. Sintim suffered knee injuries in each of the past two season. The 2009 second-round draft pick has been on the physically unable to perform list. Trattou, who appeared in six games last season, suffered ankle and heel injuries early in training camp. Scott was waived by New Orleans on Aug. 6. He had a 67-yard kickoff return in the Hall of Fame game against Arizona the previous night. Skinner played last season at Montclair State.
