    Green Revolution in Africa: Merging of Indigenous Knowledge and Other Knowledge Systems Through User
    IntroductionAt the Africa Leadership Awards Ceremony held in South Africa the former president of Zambia, dr. Kenneth Kaunda pleaded for a Green Revolution in Africa in order to meet hunger and poverty by working together as a people of one continent. This plea was made in the belief that “in unity there is strength” (Eze, 2006). This amongst other, demands a

    Lanyards: Good Things Come In Small Packages
    Lanyards are a very useful invention in our every day lives. If you think about it some of the most simplest conceptions ever made have the greatest impact on our daily lives. Consider the spoon with a fork. They are actually very uncomplicated in design and yet you cannot really live without them (if you're not a caveperson that is).Lanyards are deceptively simple, i
    Among the hottest web sites these days are community portals and social networking sites. Community sites are nothing new in the online world – AOL has always been based on community, for instance – but the word and the concept is taking on a whole new popularity and meaning today. Sites like Facebook and Myspace have taken off into outer space by combining new technology with old marketing knowhow. Tell a friend to bring a friend and the party just gets bigger and bigger.

    Most online communities grow on the “tell-a-friend” principle. Promoting gifts and trends using social networking sites has become the single fastest-growing advertising niche in years. If you run an online community or business of any sort – discussion forums, photo community, blogging site or even an online store – you can make the “tell-a-friend” principle work for you. All you need to do is play into a few natural human desires and fuel them with promises of free promotional items. Here’s one way to grow your online community with promotional products.

    1. Start with a logo or slogan – something that is recognizable and unique and yours. Yes, we’re talking about branding here. If you haven’t got a recognizable logo or slogan, it’s time to develop one. Something that will scale well and be adaptable to between 1 and 4 colors is best. Something that will look good whether it’s t-shirt sized or small enough to fit on a coffee mug is best.

    2. Choose a variety of promotional products scaled from small to large. You might consider refrigerator magnets or stickers (ones that can be used as laptop tattoos are especially popular with the younger crowd), coffee mugs, mouse mats and t-shirts for instance.

    3. Work out your promotional products plan. What do your members have to do to earn each prize? Your plan will vary according to your community type. A community forum might offer a “Prolific Poster” sticker embossed with your logo to members who start the most threads each week and a t-shirt to any member who refers 50 new members.

    Feel The Burn: Making Project Decisions Based On Burn Rate
    Every project manager dreads the day when he or she has to make the long walk to the executive sponsor’s office to ask for more money. Unforeseen delays, scope changes and excessive consulting costs are often cited as reasons for the increase, and shallow excuses that these costs could not be divined when the project’s budget was originally developed abound.Legitimat
