		<description>Iam a student finalising with my course, Food science and technology at Makerere University, Uganda, the last time we studied a course unit, Plantation Technology,  and me and two other friends  were interested in this crop. We want to start our  own plantation but we do not know which variety will be better for us to start with.We currently do not have starting capital, but we have a dream, is there any way, we can get a grant or some thing. Thank you.</description>

		<description>Hmm, not sure why my article is a sign of jealousy. Jealous of what? The fact remains that Bedié and Gbagbo have been playing the ethnicity card and have managed to create a division in the country that will take a generation to repair. The comment above only affirms that statement.</description>

		<description>It was clear counter-propaganda would start soon. Everyone on the opposite side of Armajaros trade has an obvious interest in raising their voices and claiming it wasnt them who have been busted, but actually Mr.Ward. 

Its all psychology in the markets, and now it seems the hunted are trying to describe themselves as the actual hunters. 

Im pretty sure that move wont work out well, good luck trading against Armajaro guys...</description>
