ARTI, India, Biogas from food waste – Ashden Award winner
This video can be downloaded here: http://www.ashdenawards.org/winners/arti06
ARTI won an Ashden Award for Sustainable Energy in 2006.
The Appropriate Rural Technology Institute (ARTI) in Pune has developed a biogas plant which uses food waste rather than manure as feedstock and supplies biogas for cooking. The plant is sufficiently compact to be used by urban households, and over 700 are currently in use. Around 100 plants are now being installed every month.
Pune is a relatively affluent city in south India, and many people use liquid petroleum gas (LPG) or kerosene for cooking. Waste food is often discarded at the side of the road, as in many cities, attracting stray dogs, flies and rats and creating a public health hazard. The plant safely digests kitchen waste, food waste or waste flour from mills, thus reducing the problem of waste disposal. The ARTI biogas plant can, at least, halve the use of LPG or kerosene for cooking in a household, as well as provide a small amount of liquid effluent which can be used as fertilizer.
The first-prize Ashden Award to ARTI recognizes the enormous potential for using this compact biogas digester in towns and cities, both to supply cooking gas and to assist in the disposal of organic waste.

UN President Ali Treki: Homosexuality is “not acceptable”
http://gays.com/blog/2009/10/05/the-president-of-the-united-nations-general-assembly-ali-treki-doesnt-like-gay-people/
Being gay is “not acceptable” to Ali Abdussalam Treki, of Libya, who is the president of the 64th session of the United Nations General Assembly.
When asked specifically about a UN resolution that calls for the universal decriminalisation of homosexuality, here’s what he had to say:
“That matter is very sensitive and very touchy for many countries. I think, as a Muslim, I myself am not in favor of that. And it’s not only the Muslim countries, I can see it is not accepted by the majority of countries. And there are some countries that allow that, thinking it is a kind of democracy. I think it is not, in my opinion.
If this is raised to the General Assembly, then the General Assembly will have to make a decision on that matter, but definitely, I am not personally in favour of this matter at all. I think it is not acceptable by our religion, our traditions and the Muslim world, who almost [comprise] more than 2 billion people in the world. I think also, for other religious communities, it’s not acceptable also… I think it’s the same for Buddhist and Hindu communities too. So, it’s a very touchy issue. But of course if they submit this to the General Assembly, we’ll see how the General Assembly will react.”

animate – digital sport
In trying to counter the current trend of obesity and lack of physical activity in children, a sports related product
has been developed.
This device has been interpreted anew by using children’s enormous interest in technology. “Animate” is an
electronic device that evolved due to children’s fascination with video games by integrating a movement element to
motivate them to participate in physical activity. Such activity is recorded with the use of sensors and saved as
playing credits (reward), which can be used to improve ones avatar (personal playing character) skill level when
playing games in an urban landscape.
