In your "Vote of Weakness" editorial (March 22), you failed to mention one other critical group with whom Rep. Jason Altmire stood -- the people he represents. While this may be surprising to partisans, Mr. Altmire's obligations are to represent the will of his constituents, not his party, the president or some ethereal notion of the historical moment.
Given that his district voted for President Bush in 2000 and 2004 and gave Sen. John McCain an 11-point margin over President Obama in 2008, it's hard to fathom how any thoughtful person could attempt to argue that Rep. Altmire's vote against the health care bill was anything other than the proper vote for his district -- regardless of how that person viewed the merits of the legislation.
Perhaps partisans are quick to forget that in 2006 the Democratic National Committee recruited candidates whose philosophies more closely mirrored their districts than the traditional Democratic Party denizen, understanding that because of that philosophy these Democrats would not vote in lock-step with the party on matters that were important to their districts.
In arguing that Rep. Altmire was a coward, the editorial board and those who argue in kind demonstrate either a wanton disregard of the duties of a representative or a convenient forgetfulness of the circumstances surrounding Rep. Altmire's election and the district he represents. If it's deemed reasonable to label a congressman who represents his district a coward, we truly have descended into a sorry time in our politics and our discourse.
From partisans, it is to be expected. From the Post-Gazette, we expect more.

A ban on genetically modified crops on the South Australian mainland is set to be scrapped with the Liberal government and the Labor opposition reaching a deal on proposed new laws.
Primary Industries Minister Tim Whetstone says under proposed amendments, local councils will have six months to apply to remain GM-free, though a final decision will still rest with the minister.
Councils must consult with primary producers and food manufacturers in their area as well as the broader community.
Kangaroo Island will also remain GM-free.
"This agreement is a great outcome for South Australian farmers who will have the opportunity to reap the benefits of growing GM where that is best for their business," Mr Whetstone said.
Opposition primary industries spokesman Eddie Hughes said the bipartisan approach to the issue would benefit primary producers while also providing a voice for those people who still had concerns about GM crops.
He said Labor had never doubted the science behind GM, but also listened to those growers who believed they gained a market advantage from being GM-free.
Greens MP Mark Parnell said the legislation, which passed the lower house on Tuesday, would be a bitter blow to the many SA food companies that supported the moratorium.
"They recognise the importance of South Australia remaining the only mainland GM-free state, a place where we can promote our natural clean and green image, especially to growing overseas and domestic markets," he said.
SA's GM moratorium was first introduced in 2003 by the previous Labor government and under the current legislation, it is due to remain in place until 2025.
The Liberal government last year conducted an independent review that found the ban had cost the state's grain growers at least $33 million over the previous 15 years.
In response, the government drafted a bill to lift the ban but it was defeated.
The minister then used regulations to get around the ban but the Greens were aiming to disallow those moves again this week.
Mr Whetstone said passage of the legislation would provide farmers with the certainty they need to invest in GM seed and plant GM crops in time for the 2021 grain growing season.
"After 16 years and millions of dollars in lost economic and research opportunities, it is a historic day for farmers in this state who can look forward to the choice in what they want to grow," the minister said.
"Lifting the moratorium will not only provide economic benefits for our farmers but it will put South Australia on a level playing field with every other mainland state in Australia which has had access to GM technology for at least a decade."
Grain Producers SA chief executive Caroline Rhodes said the moratorium had offered little in the way of trade and marketing benefits to the majority of agricultural producers.

The six states in south-west Nigeria including Lagos have declared a public holiday on Monday to mark the 24th anniversary of a presidential election which was won by Moshood Abiola but annulled by the military government of Gen. Ibrahim Babangida.
Nigeria has yet to recover from the crisis caused by the annulment of the June 12 election results.
Abiola declared himself president on June 11, 1994, and was arrested on June 23 by the government of Gen. Sani Abacha. He remained in jail until July 7, 1998, when he died, just 30 days after Abacha also died in office (on June 8).
The Yoruba regard June 12 as the true Democracy day in Nigeria and not May 29.


Picture Past: March 22, 1968 - vicar accidentally overhears other people's phone calls
PUBLISHED: 16:00 24 March 2018
A budget was blown out of the water 50 years ago - and so were some anti-submarine bombs. Here is the news from the Weston Mercury and Somerset Herald in March 1968.
Hutton vicar HR Haines complained that when he tried to place calls from his home, he could often overhear other phone conversations from around the village.
A villager told him this would no longer be the case when the Weston exchange was completed.
• Weston was set to be greatly affected by proposed tax laws, announced in Government budget proposals.
The borough council was facing up to the fact its budget for the year would not be adequate in light of the Chancellor of the Exchequer’s announcement.
The proposals included increased tax on confectionary, a rise in fuel tax and cost of vehicle licencing. It was forecasted some Weston hotels would close for part of the year unless they could get some relief.
• The M5 motorway section being built between Edithmead and Avonmouth would be delayed for a year because contracts had become too bunched together, the Minister for Transport announced.
Weston’s MP David Webster, who was a front bench spokesman on transport for the opposition, said it was a sign motorists were being issued with considerable taxes, but the motorway programme was being slowed down.
• Strong winds and changing tides halted efforts to clear a large number of missiles from the area between Birnbeck Pier and Sand Bay.
Some had already been found and destroyed, including 10 anti-submarine bombs.
• Letters sent just two miles away from Wrington were taking two days to be delivered. Complaints were made to the parish council about the length of time it took.
• Bleadon appeared to have lost the latest round in the fight to prevent the re-opening of the South Hill Quarry.
Church Commissioners said they were willing to give a lease to a company which wanted to extract limestone.
The parish council said it would keep trying to prevent it from happening.
One parishioner said: “I know we have big money against us, but the parish council have 99 per cent of the village behind them.”
• There was urgent need for a breakers’ yard in Weston to break down motor vehicles.
• Rock group Procol Harum was due to perform at the Winter Gardens.

Coordinated in partnership with the Novi Sad School of Journalism and funded by the European Commission, the project focused on preparing young women for active involvement in democratic changes in the Balkan region, especially in relation to the sensitive issues of post-conflict and post-authoritarianism – a legacy inherited from an era in which politics was solely dictated by men. .
Its purpose was to empower young women in West Balkan countries and help them overcome obstacles to political participation and activism due to gender barriers in schools, CSOs and local communities. The project demonstrated how this could be achieved through collaboration between CSOs and the media, and by interregional cooperation. It involved teaching eighteen high school-aged girls how to turn their ideas into concrete initiatives, thus preparing them for taking on decision-making roles in the reconciliation process.
The project included educational workshops, study visits, and training in television and radio broadcasting. In this framework, Symbiosis conducted a workshop in cooperation with the Hellenic Foundation for European and Foreign Policy (ELIAMEP) in Thessaloniki.

Feinstein Questioning Elements of Democratic Health Reform Proposals
President Obama likely will need the support of moderate Democrats to pass health care reform legislation, but lawmakers such as Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) remain skeptical about several elements of his plan, the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Feinstein has outlined several of her health care reform positions on her Web site.
Concerns About State Costs
Some health care reform proposals aim to generate savings by reducing subsidies to public hospitals that treat uninsured populations. However, such subsidy cuts could significantly cut funding from California' public hospitals, Feinstein said in an interview with the Chronicle.
Feinstein added that many states have insufficient funds to increase their share of Medicaid allocations.
In addition, she expressed concern that new automatic spending programs, or entitlements, would exacerbate current fiscal strain (Lochhead, San Francisco Chronicle, 9/12).
Support for Regulating Insurers
Feinstein said changing health insurance company practices could be crucial to curbing U.S. health care costs (AP/Sacramento Bee, 9/13).
She said she supports Obama's call to impose new insurance company regulations, such as prohibiting insurance denials for pre-existing conditions and curbing policy rescissions.
In addition, Feinstein favors a Republican proposal to allow insurance companies to sell health plans across state lines. This proposal aims to lower health insurance premiums by creating larger risk pools.
Feinstein has also expressed support for a public insurance option and a mandate requiring all residents to have coverage (San Francisco Chronicle, 9/12).This is part of the California Healthline Daily Edition, a summary of health policy coverage from major news organizations.

I remember thinking that "PlayStation" was a very silly name.
I remember wondering how Sony could possibly compete with Nintendo and Sega.
I remember looking at the oddly-shaped controller, with weird contoured grips that surprisingly felt good in your hand.
I remember playing Ridge Racer for the first time.
I remember passing the controller around among my friends so we could all experience how fast, fluid and beautiful Ridge Racer was.
I remember slowly seeing more and more developers move their games away from Nintendo and Sega's systems and on to the PlayStation.
I remember the wave of groundbreaking games that I played first on PlayStation: Tomb Raider, Resident Evil, Tony Hawk, Driver, PaRappa the Rapper, Final Fantasy VII...
I remember Metal Gear Solid, the first time I felt like I was playing an epic action movie.
I remember watching people who would normally never play games go crazy over Dance Dance Revolution.
I remember playing Gran Turismo and thinking video games would never ever look better than this.
I remember how much fun I had with that little grey box.
And I remember thinking Sony would never make a dent in the video game industry.
Twenty years on from the introduction of the PlayStation, I'm glad to be so very, very wrong.

Diverxin Omega 3 Fish Oil
Omega-3 fish oil contains both docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). Omega-3 fatty acids are essential nutrients that are important and essential for us. The American Heart Association (AHA) recommends that everyone eats fish (particularly fatty, coldwater fish) at least twice a week. Salmon, mackerel, herring, sardines, lake trout, and tuna are especially high in omega-3 fatty acids.
Omega-3 essential fatty acids are long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) that are considered “good fats” as they serve as structural components of cell membranes, support a healthy heart and joint function, and are required for a variety of critical metabolic processes. Omega-3 fatty acids are classified as “essential” since they are necessary for human health; however, the body doesn’t manufacture them so they must be obtained either through supplements or the diet.
Fish oil: friend or foe?
And the answer is more friend than foe!
The two key omega-3 fatty acids are docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). Fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, and sardines are rich in this omega-3s. Some plants are rich in another type of omega-3 fatty acid, alpha-linolenic acid, which the body can convert to DHA and EPA. Good sources of these are flaxseeds, chia seeds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, and canola oil.
The American Heart Association recommends that grown ups eat 8 oz. of fatty fish at least twice a week to increase their intake of omega-3 fatty acids. If you’re one of the many individuals who recognize the important health benefits of adding fish oil to your diet but don’t eat the recommended amount of fatty fish or you don’t like the taste and texture of fish, Bronson’s Omega-3 Fish Oil Triple Strength may be the solution you’re looking for.

A Worthy Investment
While it is a little more expensive, using Diverxin Omeg 3 Fish Oil for past 1 year has proved to be completely worth the cost. Today, the supplements we put into our bodies are so important. Diverxin was recommended to us by a chemist friend in the supplement industry. His view is that they are among the best. It's official, we're fans!
My favorite Omega 3 supplement
My body is affected by Lupus. Inflammation and pain are so prevalent in my life. With CBC oil and other herbs, fish oil helps a lot. I also feel much worse when I don't take fish oil. It helps lower my triglycerides and is the best pain reliever I've ever used. Plus, there is no fish burp nor aftertaste to this fish oil
Dramatically reduced triglyceride levels
During the course of eight weeks, my triglycerides dropped from 997 to 183. On average, I take 4-6 per day. I was advised that I would be prescribed statins as a matter of urgency by my doctor. My response was that I would do it naturally. Also, I increased my consumption of leafy greens. The fish oil has been the key to my success. At one time, I had triglycerides of over 2,400. I was prescribed Fenofibrate by my doctor. As a result, the numbers went down, but other indicators, such as liver and kidney function, were affected. As a result, I stopped taking Fenofibrate. There was a reduction in my cholesterol of 298 to 243.
A great remedy for a wide variety of ailments with no fishy aftertaste.
Besides my husband suffering from Graves' disease, I have dry eyes as well. This fish oil supplement was recommended by our optometrist and endocrinologist to alleviate the symptoms. Worked like a charm. My pain is no longer so excruciating that I feel like pulling my eyes out and throwing them against the wall.
This is good for the heart and the joints!
They are the best omega-3 supplements I've ever tried. Since I've had reactions to other natural ones before, I was hesitant to try these. On these, I haven't had a reaction and I am feeling fine. It has been over a month since I started taking them. Even though I haven't been diagnosed with anything, I take these pills for my heart. It feels so good and I have more energy because it works for me. My joints also benefit from them. My hands were suffering from tendonitis and joint pain in my lower wrists. Over the past month, my pain has been virtually nonexistent after taking them.
Fish oil that is natural and best
According to my doctors, I have Metabolic Syndrome, which, among other things, causes low or absent LDL and low HDL, both of which are beneficial. Despite my relatively low body fat, another affliction I have is high Triglycerides. I reached a TG level of 480 at the peak! The liver scanned completely normal on an ultrasound, and I did not have any elevated liver enzymes. My TG numbers never went down in the past ten years.
I've tried every fish oil available over-the-counter, including oils made from Krill or from wild caught anchovies. Even the new RX Fish Oil "miracle" failed to work for me.
After being recommended Diverxin by my friend, I tried it. I saw a decrease of 477 points to 266 in my first TG measurement. I measured my TG again three months later at 216. The normal measurement is below 160, and I'm looking forward to the third measurement. If the trend continues, I should have the TG at or below 200.
The pills seem to be working, they don't have an aftertaste, and they are smaller than others!
Everyone gives it a thumbs up
Several of us have done online research on what are the best omega 3 brands, and after several days of research, we decided to try Diverxin Omega 3 Fish Oil and the rest is history. In fact, I can honestly say that each day I remember to take it, my heart beats at 120% of its usual capacity
Several of us rely on Omega 3s to stay healthy...
I'll never do without them again...so helpful for skin, brain health, and healing.
If you've never taken Omega 3, make sure it agrees with your responses for one week, and then add it to your routine. As a result of its ease of use, I like this form. It helps us in overall health throughout the day and evening. It is a great anti-aging nutrient and a good support for our brain. Diverxin’s products are very well known and feel clean and pure when absorbed.

If Trump Runs Will He Win – The Facts
NEW YORK CITY Donald Trump’s pick for guv in the swing state of Wisconsin easily defeated a favorite of the Republican establishment. As the 2022 midterm season enters its last phase, the Republicans on the November ballot are tied to the divisive former president as never prior to whether they like it or not.
“For a pretty good stretch, it felt like the Trump motion was losing more ground than it was gaining,” said Georgia Republican Lt.
Geoff Duncan, who is urging his advising to celebration past Trump. The Republican reaction to the FBI’s search of Trump’s Florida estate this week was an especially plain example of how the party is keeping Trump close by.
About If Trump Runs Will He Win
Levy thanked Trump in her acceptance speech, while railing versus the FBI’s search. “Everybody can tell him how upset and upset and disgusted we were at what occurred to him,” she said. “That is un-American. That is what they do in Cuba, in China, in dictatorships. Which will stop.” Despite his current dominance, Trump and the Republicans near him face political and legal risks that might weaken their momentum as the GOP fights for control of Congress and statehouses throughout the nation this fall.
That’s specifically real in numerous guv’s races in Democratic-leaning states such as Connecticut and Maryland, where GOP candidates need to track to the center to win a basic election. Meanwhile, several Republican politicians with White House aspirations are moving forward with a busy travel schedule that will take them to politically essential states where they can back candidates on the ballot this year and build relationships heading into 2024.
Among Trump’s leading political targets this year, she is expected to lose. Expecting a loss, Cheney’s allies suggest she might be much better positioned to run for president in 2024, either as a Republican or independent. Trump’s allies are supremely positive about his capability to win the GOP’s presidential nomination in 2024.
Last week, a Trump lawyer, Alina Habba, said she thought Trump might end his legal problems by revealing that he would not run for the presidency once again. Habba told Real America’s Voice: “I have actually sat throughout from him, whenever he gets disappointed, I say to him: ‘Mr President, if you would like me to solve all your litigation, you must announce that you are not running for workplace, and all of this will stop.’ That’s what they want.”But Habba also stated: “I hope he runs.
Next Trump Rally for Dummies
They are the questions hanging over America and, hence, the West. Will the man who tried to reverse the outcomes of the presidential election in 2020, threatened to dissolve the world’s most powerful military alliance and played footsie with Vladimir Putin, choose that he wants to run again?
Possibly a higher indication of his influence is that numerous of the losing candidates sought his recommendation, too. Of the 10 Home Republicans who voted to impeach the president for what he did on January 6th 2021, eight are either retiring or have been retired by primary citizens.
A lot could change between now and the very first Republican primary, however unless Mr Trump either decides he does not wish to run, or something avoids him from doing so, it looks as if he would win the Republican election. That causes the 2nd concern: could he be stopped? One obstacle is the law.
A lot stays unidentified. Once his examination is total, the attorney-general, Merrick Garland, may decide that the documents are safe and his work is done.
The smart Trick of Next Trump Rally That Nobody is Talking About
The most singing are calling for the impeachment of Mr Garland and demanding the defunding of the fbia double basic considering that they wanted Hillary Clinton to be locked up for her usage of a private email server. However, Democrats must keep in mind that the precedent cuts both ways: in 2016 the Justice Department declined to prosecute Mrs Clinton.
Like anyone else, Mr Trump deserves the anticipation of innocence. And his challengers need to be cautious of repeating old errors: at each turn they have actually hoped that something, anything (the Mueller investigation, the very first impeachment trial, the second impeachment trial) would take him out of the picture. And yet here he is.
Out of politics, he is just a civilian facing some prosecutions. For as long as he is a prospective president, he is the head of a movement that won 74m votes last time round. At that point Mr Garland and others running the examinations would face an unenviable choice: either put a presidential prospect on trial or pick not to maintain the rule of law.
A vengeance tour, in which he campaigned on retribution for his persecution by the legal system, would play to Mr Trump’s worst instincts and further exhaust America’s organizations. In another age, the influence of corporate America might have helped sideline Mr Trump.

Rescue Dog Indie Living Life To The Full After Losing Sight
The owner of a rescued Cocker Spaniel left completely blind due to cataracts has told how her “brave” pet is now living life to the full after being a victim of puppy farming.
Seven-year-old Indie was used for dog breeding despite developing severe cataracts in both eyes. Such was her plight when she had been rescued that surgeons at Linnaeus-owned Gower Vets in Swansea had no choice but to carry out surgery to remove her eyes, after she had also developed glaucoma.
The team at Gower carried out two operations on Indie and have described her as “a really sad case of puppy farming”.
However, despite the loss of her sight, Indie is now thriving with her owner Louise Georgiou, who lives near Swansea and rehomed her two years ago.
Indie now uses a toy doughnut to help her get around as it ensures she doesn’t injure herself if she bumps into things and Louise said her brave pet was loving life.
She said: “Indie is incredible. She is such a brave, happy dog who does not stop wagging her tail and trotting around with her doughnut. She is getting the hang of the layout of the house and is going about like nothing has happened.
“She is also very close with our other rescued cocker spaniel Bella, whom I like to think is her guide dog as they are always together!
“Gower Vets have been amazing and so reassuring throughout, they always give her so much love and cuddles. Indie is still going to have the best life and be spoilt like she deserves.”
Ivana Kossikova, veterinary surgeon at Gower Vets, said: “Our hearts go out to Indie who was exploited by puppy farmers, who continued to breed her despite having cataracts in both eyes. It really is a shocking case.
“However, her recovery has been brilliant and she is doing really well at home with Louise as she continues to get used to her surroundings.
“Indie has now found a loving owner and home, and she will be well looked after in the years ahead. We wish Indie and Louise all the best for the future.”

(MENAFN- Morocco World News) Jorf Lasfar plant. Photo by OCP Rabat – The role of agriculture in economic development cannot be overstated. In fact, there seems to be, in the literature of development studies, an overwhelming consensus on the centrality of agriculture in achieving sustainable economic development.
In sub-Saharan Africa, however, policymakers and other stakeholders have, so far, been frustratingly failing to satisfy the requirements of a successful and productive agricultural sector, leading, as a result, to food insecurity, hunger, and extreme poverty. Sub-Saharan agriculture is lagging, sluggish, and fails to feed a booming and vibrant population. The region is in dire need of an agricultural revolution.
Today, these are questions any sub-Saharan government should be attending to: How do we attain food security and self-sufficiency in the next decade? How do we, as a nation, ensure that citizens' nutritional needs are satisfactorily met, while lifting thousands out of poverty?
In February 2016, as if in direct response to such concerns, the Office Cherifien de Phosphates (OCP) announced its African venture plan: OCP Africa. Amongst the many goals that OCP Africa listed in its 'African venture's' roadmap, the group put a particular stress on helping the region rise up to the challenges of meeting food security and improved crops production.
OCP Africa as South-South Cooperation
After launching the Africa Fertilizer Complex in February 2016, by March of the same year, 9 subsidiaries were established in Nigeria, Benin, Senegal, Cameroon, Cote d'Ivoire, Tanzania, Zambia, Ghana, and Kenya. This, OCP said, was part of a larger strategic vision to secure 'the cornerstones of development in Africa'.
And towards the end of 2016, OCP extended its venture to some other countries, including Rwanda, Mozambique and Ethiopia. To date, the group has about 14 sub-Saharan subsidiaries. Most importantly, projects to build fertilizer plants are on the verge of completion in some of the cited countries.
'Strongly committed to South-South cooperation, development, we put Africa at the heart of our growth plan using a personalized approach, which led to the creation of OCP Africa. The newly created subsidiaries aim at meeting the challenge of a structured, efficient, and sustainable agriculture', said OCP's chief Mostafa Terrab in the group's 2016 annual report.
Describing the group as an 'African company' unfailingly committed to satisfying the growing needs of an expanding African population, Terrab went on to point out that in 2016 alone, OCP's African exportations increased by 70%.
As to the rationale behind such a bold and assertive sub-Saharan venture, OCP is clear in its 2016 annual report: 'Africa's central role in the new Moroccan cooperation strategy and the continent's enormous potential for growth are behind OCP's interest in adopting a proactive approach to developing sustainable African agriculture.'
In this sense, OCP Africa can genuinely contribute to unleashing Africa's inner strength and realizing Africa's dream of self-reliance because, essentially, OCP's cooperation with sub-Saharan Africa is an intra-African cooperation; it is simultaneously a marriage of love and convenience.
But can OCP really help leapfrog sub-Saharan Africa's lagging agriculture? Can the group, as defined in its 'African objectives', help realize an African-style Green Revolution?
Fertilizers are the new boys in town
OCP owes its global reputation to an expanding global population and an increasing global demand for phosphate and kindred products. And as of recently, the group is, by far, the global leader in the production and exportation of fertilizers and phosphate products. Furthermore, with Morocco being home to 70% of global reserves of phosphates, it can safely be said that OCP's unrivaled control on the fertilizer market will remain unchallenged for years to come.
As such, even in a region that, in its level of agricultural productivity, has lagged behind all other regions of the world, one can make a very robust case for OCP's potentials to rekindle agriculture and reach sustainable growth and prosperity.
It has been observed that contrary to farmers in other parts of the world, sub-Saharan farmers make no or little use of chemical fertilizers. The result, by and large, is poor crop yields and a ridiculously low supply of staple food and some other basic necessities. While, for example, a North American farmer yields up to 12 tons of maize by hectare of arable land, his sub-Saharan counterpart can only reap up to 1 ton.
This massive disparity between the efforts invested and the production obtained explains the desperation that is befalling many African farmers, not to mention the increasing lack of safe, affordable and nutritious food that is the lot of many sub-Saharan states. In such a context, if African policymakers and entrepreneurs are serious about the 'Africa We Want' narrative, a motto popularized by a 2015 African Union Commission report, the use of chemical fertilizers is now a political imperative.
In 2016, while global average use of fertilizers was 120 kg/ha, Africa's was a mere 21kg/ha; no wonder then that the continent imports one-third of what it consumes. But with a population exponentially growing and expected to reach 2 billion by 2050, Africa can no longer afford to delay its agricultural revolution: now is the time to take that much overdue leap of faith: encourage the use of chemical fertilizers, introduce farmers to mechanized means of production, and invest in agriculture-related research. To successfully do that, why bother looking elsewhere when the continent is already home to the world's leading producer of fertilizers?
How OCP Africa can help realize 'Africa rising'
In 2003, The Economist called Africa 'a hopeless continent', a bleak and dark place which the entire globe had given up on. A decade later, in March 2013, acknowledging the rapid changes and the palpable wind of economic transformations that were blowing through the entire continent, the outlet published a laudatory article that called Africa 'a continent of hope', and saying 'Africa is rising'. 'Africa is rising' has since been the subject of numerous controversies (see especially this, this, and this).
Without dwelling on a controversy in which there is nothing new or original left to say, it is safe to argue that OCP Africa can help realize the dream of an Africa that is truly 'rising'. In fact, the original Africa rising narrative puts a disproportional emphasis on GDP growth, which, though commendable, does not focus on the daily hurdles of African populations.
As Rwanda's former minister of agriculture Agnes Kalibata put it, 'Growth in agriculture is 11 times more effective than growth in any other sector.'With OCP's technical expertise, its policy of 'greater outreach to small farmers', and its unsurpassed acumen in the production of fertilizers, the group can help its African partners capitalize on the abundant potentials and opportunities of the continent's agricultural sector, thus realizing a growth that is green, equitable, inclusive, and sustainable.
Since venturing into sub-Saharan markets in 2016, OCP has signed numerous contracts with private and public shareholders, trained and introduced thousands of farmers to the efficient use of fertilizers around Africa, helped various governments in their national agricultural caravans, and heavily invested in agriculture-oriented research.
The Ethiopian government, for example, signed with OCP a strategic partnership that will see the construction in the country of a world class fertilizer plant—production is estimated to start by 2022 with an annual capacity of 2.5-3.8 metric tons. A similar strategic partnership has been signed with Rwandan government.
In Nigeria, two such partnerships—one with Dangote Group to build a fertilizer plant in Edo state, and another with the country's association of fertilizer producers and suppliers to boost fertilizer use and availability on the local markets as well as provide technical support to farmers—have also been signed. In July last year, over 5000 small farmers in Nigeria's Kaduna state took benefited from an OCP-led 'Agribooster Scheme': they were trained and subsidized to use high-quality fertilizers to improve their crop yields. If the continent is to gain and maintain momentum, perpetuating such initiatives is desperately needed.
In its second Lions on the Move report, Mckinsey Global Institute found that Africa needs more substantially big African companies to power growth and meet the imperative demand of substituting imports of manufactured goods. As such, mobilizing local resources, nurturing and deepening regional integration, and investing in agriculture to improve the quality of African lives should no longer be the sole preserve of political meetings or policy briefings: it is an urgent imperative and needs implementing now.
By 2050, Africa's food need is expected to triple, and the dream of a prosperous and self-reliant Africa is untenable if the continent is to remain a net importer of agricultural products. So, in the continent's current nutritional state of volatility and extreme insecurity, embracing and capitalizing on OCP Africa will be an added value to the continent's goal of diversifying national economies and improving lives. To think otherwise is pure fantasy.


I remember only just a few years ago when the name James Tynion IV popped up on a weekly Batman comic co-written by Scott Snyder. I was really big into Snyder’s Batman run, and this weekly series was pretty ambitious. I don’t remember having read much by Tynion before that, so this must have been a trial by fire! Now, the output he’s had since then has been astounding. Not just the number of comics, but the quality has been mindbogglingly genius. Something Is Killing the Children is a horror story. It’s an awful, horrible story of children being ripped apart, but there is more heart in this series than most straight-up dramas.
In this second major story arc, we’re coming to find out how Erica Slaughter became part of the Order of St. George, and young Erica is just as badass and amazing as older, trained monster killer Erica. She’s traumatized, but she’s a damn fighter. On top of that, we’re also getting to know her mentor Jessica. Jessica is breaking all the rules to bring young Erica in, and every step of the way is amazing. All of these characters are breathtakingly badass in their own ways… I guess you’d have to be to kill monsters!
Dell’edera’s art is simply breathtaking. In even the smallest moments, he finds conflict and sparks curiosity. He knows where to “angle the camera” to draw us into the moment.
This series is one of the most compelling stories around, both on a story level and a visceral level. There will never not be a reason to read this.

Wetlands mean different things to different people. Some envision dark, murky swamps, while others think of them as places to enjoy an early morning duck hunt or an afternoon of wildlife watching. A wetland is land that contains adequate soil moisture to support certain types of water-tolerant vegetation. Wetlands vary in type from permanently flooded sloughs to areas that only have saturated soil during part of the year.
Importance of Wetlands
- Wetlands function as biological filters that remove sediments and pollutants from surface waters.
- Wetlands act as natural sponges, reducing the severity of floods by slowly releasing excess water back into the stream or groundwater table.
- Wetlands are biologically productive, with a greater diversity of plants and animals than is found in drier habitats.
Wetlands in Missouri
Historically, natural wetlands dominated the floodplains and river deltas in Missouri. During the past few decades, many were converted to agricultural land. However, many of these fields continue to be too wet to farm, even after they were cleared and drained. These wet fields are the best sites for restoring or developing wetlands on private property. It is important to preserve our few remaining natural wetlands, restore degraded wetlands if feasible, and develop new wetlands wherever possible.

It was amusing to see other day (on the third day of curfew) the NDTV correspondent reporting live from near Jehangir Chowk and claiming that Kashmir had been very peaceful for last twenty four hours. One wonders what they understand by “Peace”! The most peaceful place in the world is a grave yard. The dead neither move around nor they speak to each other and thus one can really observe the real and lasting “Peace” in the grave yard. Probably the correspondent meant that very variety of “Peace”? For four days continuously 8 million or so people of Kashmir have been physically locked up in their homes. Paramilitary troops and armed Policemen are patrolling not only main roads but even lanes and by lanes. Rolls of concertina wire have been placed on all exit and entry points of various localities and on main road junctions. Some of videos on YouTube and photos on the net give an eerie feeling. The most touted tourist “Paradise on Earth” under siege. A clamp down not even seen in some of the worst totalitarian states of South America or the erstwhile Soviet Union or even the Nazi Germany. Those people at least had the decency of allowing the needy, elderly, and sick people to move around.
The worst part is the total communications and information blockade. The authorities in Delhi seem to have decided that no news is good news. The internet, the national and international cable TV news channels are totally off. The local cable TV channels had already been debarred from reporting any news after 2010 upheaval. Ironically, the state Chief Minister while addressing the media had said that the correct news should be reported as rumours always created a problem. Probably he too was not aware that Delhi had a better solution of no news is good news! These people seem to be living in a cuckoo’s world. We are in 21st century of the information age. Clamping down on news is next to impossible. These days there are plenty of websites which teach one how to by-pass all these barriers for dissemination of news and go on the information highway to reach the entire world. One can go on internet through ISD or STD or even through satellite phones. Some sites even provide free access to internet worldwide. The only thing the authorities may have succeeded in doing is cutting off Kashmiris from one another. However, this is precisely where the rumours take hold of the people and the situation deteriorates rather than stabilises.
Why such a severe clamp down? If Afzal Guru was a self-confessed terrorist and had been convicted after duly following the process of law and then the sentence carried out, what the Home Minister called, after fulfilling all the requirements of law, then why put entire Kashmir under siege. Do the authorities have a nagging doubt that they had done something terribly wrong? Or do they fear that even a proclaimed Kashmiri terrorist indulging in violence against the highest seat of the largest democracy in the world is considered to be a hero in Kashmir? That would imply that in spite of all the tall claims of the Kashmiris loving India, they really hate it. The alienation which was already quite deep must have now reached a climax and this fear prompted authorities to virtually imprison all Kashmiris till their anger subsides. If this has been their consideration then they have made a terrible mistake. A Kashmiri is a very intelligent creature. He registers everything but very rarely acts spontaneously unless faced by extreme danger to his being.
The new generation in Kashmir has not only seen violence in its worst form but has been virtually brought up in a continuous atmosphere of conflict and siege. They do not consider this type of clamp down something unusual and take it in their stride. The only thing the authorities achieve by such measures is temporary superficial calm while the volcano simmers under the surface ready to burst at the opportune time without any warning. Such things have a long gestation period and the Chief Minster himself has stated that these events have a long term impact. The 1990 uprising in Kashmir had Maqbool Bhat as its role model. He was slowly being forgotten except for the day of his hanging in Tihar Jail on February 11, 1984 celebrated every year by his close followers. His sacrifice took 6 years to produce an uprising. Delhi by its own inept handling has given a new role model to the Kashmiri youth, the Afzal Guru. His example may not take such a long time for gestation. If one goes by the protests held by Kashmiri Youth studying in different parts of India in spite of the hardships they had been facing due to the fact of being Kashmiri, the new uprising may have already begun.
What is most pathetic is that the entire media especially the electronic one is not bringing to the notice of the Indian public the extreme hardships being faced by common Kashmiris for no fault of theirs. They have been meted out a “Collective Punishment” by the “Collective Conscience” of India. Delhi can still salvage the situation if they remove the siege and agree to hand over the mortal remains of Afzal Guru to his relatives for a decent burial in his home town. No doubt it may result in a mausoleum but that would be far less dangerous than the symbolic grave in Tihar Jail of a “martyr” acting as a continuous inspiration for an unending struggle!

ST. PETERSBURG, RUSSIA — This is a city that doesn’t do anything by halves, when you consider that it has more than two hundred museums and, before the revolution, a thousand or so palaces. The best known is one of the city’s most familiar landmarks, the huge Winter Palace of the Czars, which overlooks the south bank of the Neva River. The original, a modest wooden structure, was built for Peter the Great, but later replaced by the current building, its design approved by Empress Elizabeth in 1754.
The Hermitage Museum, home to the world’s largest collection of paintings, is part of the Winter Palace. This art lover’s dream has works by artists including Rembrandt, Leonardo da Vinci and Picasso, although it is so vast it would take many days to see even half of the exhibits there.
Talking of museums, one of the highlights of my trip was a visit to the Fabergé Museum, which is in the lavish surroundings of Shuvalov Palace. I wanted to see the nine imperial Fabergé eggs, the world’s largest collection of its kind, which once belonged to the royal Romanov family. Tours here are limited in number, making it easy to have a good look at the eggs in their glass cases. Some of the eggs open to reveal exquisite miniatures. The gold, diamond and enamel Imperial Coronation Egg contains a gold miniature carriage, while there is a miniature hen and a painting on a diamond encrusted easel inside the diamond, ruby and enamel Hen Egg.

Not that it’s only eggs here though, the exhibition includes 4,000 works of art, fine china, sculptures and religious icons. The items are all displayed in glass cases and so entrancing are they that it is easy to ignore the rooms of the palace itself, which, in any other situation, would draw gasps of admiration. Unlike the Hermitage, the Fabergé Museum allows visitors to photograph the stunning exhibits and I managed to snap all the eggs on display, including one that was on loan from another collection.
The following day I opted for a full day excursion to take in the prime sights of St. Petersburg and also allowed plenty of photo stops, one of which was the flamboyant, colourful, onion-shaped domes of the Church of the Resurrection of Christ. It is commonly known as the Church of the Saviour on Spilled Blood because it was the built on the site of Tsar Alexander 11’s assassination in 1881 and later used by the Soviets as a potato store during the Nazi siege of the city in World War II. Its interior, equally as colourful as the exterior, initially appears to be painted and gilded but actually consists of approximately 7,000 square metres of mosaic tiles depicting scenes and characters from the Bible.
While in church mode I also visited the impressive blue, white and gold St. Nicholas Cathedral. It was built between 1753 and 1762 in what was then the sailors’ quarter of the city and was named after St. Nicholas, patron saint of sailors.
The performing arts flourish in St. Petersburg too and the pretty green and white Mariinsky Theatre on aptly named Teatralnaya pl (Theatre Square), dating back to 1860, is home to ballet, opera and orchestral companies and is where Swan Lake was first performed in 1895.
Meanwhile, in nearby Nevsky Prospect, the city’s main street, pavements are lined with sushi bars, Middle Eastern shisha bars, Italian and Indian restaurant, curio shops, cinemas, clothing stores and a glut of nightclubs.

There’s certainly much to see in St. Petersburg but I felt I should explore a little further afield so took a 48km drive past endless anonymous blocks of flats to the coast of the Gulf of Finland to see the Palace of Peterhof. The Palace was the opulent home of Peter the Great, who was inspired by Versailles to build his own version with ornamental grounds and fountains. However much of what visitors now see was as a result of his daughter Elizabeth’s re-design. She created the current palace and vast formal gardens. If the word bling had been around in those days, the many gilded and shimmering statues would be a classic example; it makes Versailles look a little dowdy. While the building itself is more than magnificent, it’s the Grand Cascade that everyone wants to see. This series of terraces has more than 140 fountains and gilded statues. Manicured grounds surrounding the palace include still more elaborate fountains, gazebos, smaller palaces and woodlands where red squirrels feed from tourists’ hands.
On my last evening in town, the chef got into the spirit of things with a dinner menu that included caviar with blinis, Russian dumplings, borscht, chicken Kiev and stroganoff. Ah, and there lies another tale.
Earlier that day we had seen the Stroganov Palace, home to the Counts Stroganov, who in days gone by fed St. Petersburg’s poor with a beef stew, which included mustard and sour cream —that’s how beef stroganov, or stroganoff, started life.
If you plan to visit Russia, do make a point of visiting St. Petersburg. There’s no doubt this city is Russia at its finest and most relaxed. •

text: By MATTHEW PERRONEWASHINGTON (AP) ¿ Sunoco has begun restricting sales of a controversial chemical used in baby bottles and food containers that some researchers believe can harm infants. The move by the gas and chemical giant makes Sunoco the first manufacturer to acknowledge safety concerns about bisphenol-A, or BPA, which recently led retailers like Wal-Mart to pull thousands of baby and water bottles off store shelves. Environmental groups want to ban BPA in products for infants because of concerns that it can interfere with biological functions needed for growth. But government scientists have issued conflicting opinions about the chemical's risks. In light of that uncertainty, Sunoco said in a letter Thursday it has begun requiring customers to guarantee that its BPA will not be used in food and water containers for children under 3. "We will no longer sell BPA to customers who cannot make this promise," Thomas Golembeski, head of public relations, wrote in a letter to two investors. The company's policy, which took effect last November, was prompted by concerns from local investors, including an order of Franciscan nuns.
