Pest Control: Farmer-to-Farmer Learning
---------------------------------------

(31 aug 2005) Farmers themselves have a lot of valuable knowledge, and
by experimenting, testing ideas from the scientists and learning from
each other can make significant improvements to their production, even
without new inputs from outside. When researchers facilitate this
process and encourage farmers to inform others, there can be many
benefits both direct and indirect to the rural poor.

Traditional Tree Initiative 
----------------------------

(30 aug 2005) Agroforestry Net, Inc., a Hawaii based non-profit
organisation, launched a 2-year effort in 2003 based on a conviction
that technology could support traditional cultures by communicating
practical information, to the end of encouraging the planting and
conserving of traditional trees. This project involves creation of an
educational resource for sustainable development that provides
information about the uses, products, and planting of traditional
trees. Information and communication technologies (ICTs) are the key
medium for communicating this information - and, it is hoped,
inspiring
sustainable, culturally appropriate local actions.

ICTs Go Rural
-------------

(22 aug 2005) Given the extreme poverty in many underdeveloped regions
of the world, the relatively high cost of internet access, coupled
with

development projects taking place around the world.

Increased Use of Mobile Phones in Africa
----------------------------------------

(26 aug 2005) Africas cellphone boom has taken the industry by
surprise. Africans have never been rabid telephone users; even
Mongolians have twice as many land lines per person. But when African
nations began to privatise their telephone monopolies in the
mid-1990s, and fiercely competitive operators began to sell air time
in smaller, cheaper units, cellphone use exploded.

On the Radio, Under the Gun
---------------------------

(22 aug 2005) Of 22 journalists murdered in connection with their work
in the 

Philippines since 2000, 17 were radio commentators from rural

provinces who were shot and killed for what they said on the air,
according to the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ).

Government
officials are suspected of involvement in half of the murder cases,
and
witnesses to murders are often too fearful to testify. "On the Radio,
Under the Gun" examines the reasons behind the rising death toll among
broadcast journalists in the country, following a CPJ fact-finding
mission in June 2005.

TIPS 

AUDIO UPLOAD 

We only accept the most common digital audio formats - MP3 and Real
Audio. 
And we've restricted the file size of audio programmes to 3.6 MB to
ensure relatively easy upload and download of audio files. Remember, 
files bigger than this will be difficult for people to access in
places where the internet connection is slow or unstable. 

If you're encoding in MP3 or Real Audio format using broadcast
quality settings (min. 22,000 sample rate, 16 bit, mono), 3.6 MB is
the 'time' 
equivalent of around 7-10 minutes of speech. If your programme is
more than 3.6 MB, the server will automatically disconnect the
upload.

You can now also decide if your contact details will be visible on
the website

When you log in in the top right hand side corner, you will see link
Edit member details. When you click on this link, after the section 
where your details are, you will see three buttons with 
- Don't display contact name on website 
- Don't display address information on website 
- Don't display email information on website 

By choosing any of these options, you will make one (or all) of your
contact details disappear from the website that is available to
public. 
However, your details will stay on the database, so OneWorld Radio
administrators will be able to see them. 

Please note that by hiding your details you are making them invisible
both to the public and the rest of OneWorld Radio members. 

Any problems write to us to the usual email address
radio at oneworld.net
