Design and production: FAB s.a., www.fab.be A handbook for setting up and running a small-scale business producing high-value foods - 4 - Preface This book is the result of a collaborative effort by small business owners and advisers of small-scale food processors in ACP countries. The effort was supported by the Technical Centre for Agricultural and Rural Cooperation ACP- EU (CTA). The information contained in the handbook was gathered by the researchers below, who interviewed local enterprises that produce high-value foods and prepared reports that were then compiled by Midway Associates. We hope this book will meet the needs of small-scale enterprises and the agencies that support them by providing technical and business information on the production of high-value foods that was previously difficult to find. It is also intended to help small-scale entrepreneurs to update and improve their businesses to gain market share, benefit their consumers and, of course, improve their own profitability. If you find this book useful, please take a few minutes to complete the feedback form at the end of the book. Preface - 5 - The Opportunities in Food Processing series This is the seventh and final volume of the Opportunities in Food Processing series. The first volume in 2001 was an overview of small-scale processing, including aspects of the science and technology of food processing and business management. The next five volumes applied the principles outlined in the first volume in more detail to the commodity groups: meat and fish products, milling and bakery products, cooking oils, fruits and vegetable products, and dairy products. The aim in each handbook was to provide information that would allow micro- or small-scale food processors in ACP countries to upgrade their businesses. The focus in each book was to improve the supply of processed foods to local markets using technologies that were likely to be available and affordable to ACP processors. Each book assumed a basic level of knowledge and provided detailed information on marketing, financial management, processing and quality assurance, written for people who have English as their second language. Each of the titles is available from CTA at http://publications.cta.int/en/publications/series/opportunities-in-food- processing. A handbook for setting up and running a small-scale business producing high-value foods - 6 - About this book This volume differs from the previous books in a number of respects. It is not commodity-focused and it groups together a variety of processed foods, or ingredients for cosmetic or medicinal products, that share a common factor of having (or with the potential to have) a high value. It assumes that the intended beneficiaries in ACP countries will already be moderately successful in their food processing businesses, and as a consequence it is written using ‘higher level’ language than previous books. Additionally, because the value added to processed foods is often higher in industrialised markets, the book includes exporting as well as supplying local markets, with a focus on how ACP processors are able to enter and benefit from value chains1 for these products. Because the quality requirements for high-value foods, and sometimes their volumes, are both higher than other commodity groups, some of the technologies and staff training requirements described in this book require considerably greater investment than in previous volumes. The book is therefore intended to illustrate potential opportunities for producing high- value foods in ACP countries, rather than a handbook on how to do this. 1 Value chains comprise a set of actors who conduct a linked sequence of value-adding activities involved in bringing a product from its raw material stage to the final consumer.

Almaraz People make quick work of forming a variety of impressions of one another based on minimal information. Recent work has shown that people are able to make judgments of others’ Apparent Sociosexual Orientation (ASO) – an estimation of how interested another person is in uncommitted sexual activity – based on facial information alone. In the present work, I used three studies to expand the understanding of this poorly understood facial judgment by investigating the dimensionality of ASO (Study 1), the facial predictors of ASO (Study 2), and the consequences of these ASO judgments on men’s hostility and benevolence towards women (Study 3). In Study 1, I showed that men’s judgments of women’s Apparent Sociosexual Orientation were organized into judgments of women’s appearance of unrestricted attitudes and desires (Intrapersonal ASO) and their appearance of unrestricted behaviors (Behavioral ASO). Study 2 revealed that more attractive and more dominant appearing women were perceived as more sexually unrestricted. In Study 3, I found that women who appeared to engage in more unrestricted behavior were subjected to increased benevolent sexism, though this effect was primarily driven by unrestricted appearing women’s attractiveness. However, women who appeared to have sexually unrestricted attitudes and desires were subjected to increased hostility, even when controlling for the effects of the facial correlates found in Study 2.

  • The Élan Vital of DIY Porn

    The Élan Vital of DIY Porn

    Liminalities: A Journal of Performance Studies Vol. 11, No. 1 (March 2015) The Élan Vital of DIY Porn Shaka McGlotten In this essay, I borrow philosopher Henri Bergson’s concept élan vital, which is translated as vital force or vital impetus, to describe the generative potential evident in new Do-It- Yourself (DIY) pornographic artifacts and to resist the trend to view porn as dead or dead- ening. Bergson employed this idea to challenge the mechanistic view of matter held by the biological sciences of the late 19th and early 20th Centuries, a view that considered the stuff of life to be reducible to brute or inert matter. Bergson argued, rather, that matter, insofar as it undergoes continuous change, is itself alive and not because of an immaterial, animat- ing principle, but because this liveliness is intrinsic to matter itself. I use Bergson’s élan vi- tal to think through the liveliness of gay DIY porn and for its contribution to a visual his- tory of desire, for the ways it changes the relationships between consumers and producers of pornography, and the ways it realizes new ways of stretching the pornographic imagination aesthetically and politically. It’s Alive I jump between sites. I watch a racially ambiguous young man with thick, muscular legs standing in front of a nondescript bathtub. He whispers, “I’m so horny right now,” rub- bing his cock beneath red Diesel boxer briefs. He turns and pulls his underwear down, arching his back to reveal a hairy butt. Turning to the camera again he shows off his modestly equipped, but very hard, dick.

Tel: +251910140961; Email: [email protected] Abstract Korarima in a Kaffa zone could be explained as the most popular spice as it’s widely production and prolonged socio-economic importance. Relevant information on production and marketing of korarima is needed for improving productivity and design of effective policy. This study was conducted with specific objectives: to assess status of korarima production, to identify factors affecting market supply of korarima and to identify constraints in production and marketing of korarima in Kaffa zone, Southern Ethiopia. The study was based on the data collected from 116sample households selected through multistage sampling technique. Descriptive statistics and econometric model were used to analyze the data. A multiple linear regression model was employed to assess the factors affecting of households’ market supply of korarima output. Major constraints in production and marketing of korarima in the zone includes disease, animal and pest damage, low yield due to climate change effect, low productivity of existing varieties, poor extension support, lack of improved korarima production practices, lack of well-designed output marketing center, and traditional harvesting and post-harvest handling techniques.
