| | The evolution of the gold farming industry - SendMeRSS | | 2008-01-16 11:00:12 | | The evolution of the gold farming industryFiled under: Analysis / Opinion, Virtual selves, Odds and endsIt's a rare event when I wake up, walk to the computer, yawn, and think to myself what I could possibly write about only to have an article walk up to me, sit in my lap, and cuddle. Today it happened.We've all seen what I call the evolution of spam in-game. First it was just straight tell spam. Blizzard fixed that. Then it was group spam. Now it seems gold farmers have taken to just sitting in the capital cities and screaming their lungs off until they get reported and/or zapped by a GM.I think the reporting mechanism is starting to get to them though. Every time they lose an account (when it's reported) they have to make a new one. In the scope of the money they're making it's really not a big deal, but it's tedious repetition and I saw the first signs this morning that they've shifted their focus and are moving to more aggressive tactics.I fired up Adium (my Mac instant messenger) and was immediately greeted by a request for contact authorization. I'll stop here for a moment so you can gasp, because what happened after this is exactly what you think. I looked at the address that was requesting authentication and it didn't really ring a bell. I looked at the display picture and saw a cropped screenshot of two blood elves staring back at me. I reasoned that it had to be someone from my guild, even though I wasn't sure who. I accepted the request and the contact appeared on my contact list. As it turns out, they were online.Continue reading The evolution of the gold farming industry Permalink | Email this | Comments Link - Comments - Eric Vice - Wed, 16 Jan 2008 16:00:00 GMT - Feed (4 subs) gold-farmers gold-farming instant-messaging Sent using SendMeRss.com.

| Why irrigation is important to Banana Farming? | | 2007-11-19 23:22:00 | | Irrigation is important to banana farming because 80% of banana is water. Without water, it is impossible for this crop to yield the desired production you expected. One of the biggest companies of banana plantation in Mindanao, Philippines, suffered brittle problems due to insufficient water application to the plants. This case was not yet found when there is plenty of rain coming to the area. But when the sunny and hot days come to pass for 2 months in the area where sandy soil is observed, there these brittle problems came out.These cases was caused by insufficient water application to the plants. When you look at the plants, it looks like pale. Sometimes the plants looks healthy but it cannot support the weight of its fruit; the pseudo stem will break even if there are two poles that supported it. The only remedy to this problem is enough rain or installing irrigation system in the area. After it was installed, the problem was solved and brittle case was found no more.What is irrig... | | By: Banana Industry Tour | | |

| | Organic Farming Hot in Canada | | 2007-05-17 03:00:02 | | A new report by the federal government suggests that the organic farming industry in Canada is growing at an immense rate.
Thunder Bay’s Chronicle Journal writes
According to figures released Wednesday in Statistics Canada’s 2006 agriculture census, 15,511 farms reported growing organic products last May. That includes those that have been certified organic by an authorizing agency, those that are in the process of getting certified, and those whose operators simply declare that they’re organic.
The number of certified organic producers increased by nearly 60 per cent from 2001 to 3,555 in 2006. Field crops such as wheat and barley are the predominant certified organic crops, and Saskatchewan has about one-third of all the certified organic farms in the country.
The article discusses how organic agriculture has really branched out into two major streams — little, with local, organic farmers at the farmer’s market and big, with the big-box stores carrying entire ... | | By: Zedomax | | |
