Robust Iterative Technique for High-Resolution Spatial Processing and Spectral Estimation.
Patent, Filed 18 May 84, patented 3 Mar 87,
DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY WASHINGTON DC
Pagination or Media Count:
A nonlinear technique for high-resolution data processing produces high-resolution power spectra from the output of a conventional processor. First a guess of the spectral estimate is formed. Then the spectral estimate is convolved with the system response function to produce estimated output levels. The differences between the estimated output levels and the measured output levels are used to modify the spectral estimate to produce a new guess. This process is repeated until certain criteria are satisfied.

Since I'm leaving for NYC early Thursday morning my nutrtion will switch just a bit. For one, I'm actually weighing everything. When it's not a few days before a shoot I just estimate my proteins. Now it's the exact amounts. So I'll know exactly what I need to do. I'll be taking in 300g of protein a day. Carbohydrates are the only thing that will change each day till I'm done saturday afternoon. I cut out ground turkey and chicken thighs as well. The only veggie I'm doing will be asparagus because it's a natural diuretic and the other natural diuretic I'm doing daily is 2 tbsp of apple cider vinegar. Here is yeserdays log.
- 9am 27g whey w/ 1/2 cup oats,27 g whey shake,2 cups black coffee
- 12pm 8oz skinless chicken breast,1 cup sweet potato, 1tbsp apple cider vinegar
- workout 1pm
- 2:15pm 54g protein shake,1/2 grapefruit
- 3:30pm 8oz chicken breast,6 asparagus spears,1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 6:45pm 54g protein shake
- 8:30pm 2 cups egg whites scrambled,small bowl salad,4 asparagus spears,red wine vinegar 1 tbsp
something that a lot of people don't know about me is that I have an appreciation for art. I took these pictures when I went to the NYC MET museum one day when I lived in NYC.

Missouri defensive end Michael Sam's decision to reveal his sexuality Sunday night sparked debate and discussion that may be more about a prospective employer's tolerance for distraction than homophobia.
The 94-year history of the NFL is littered with teams that tolerated players linked to domestic violence, sexual assault, gambling and DUIs resulting in death. Owners, general managers and coaches accepted, if not embraced, those players for the same reason that drives everyone in the league: Winning matters most.
The NFL will likely never eradicate Neanderthals from locker rooms, the homophobic strand of society that would make Vladimir Putin proud, but the more complex issue that team decision-makers must confront is whether Sam, aiming to become the league's first openly gay player, is talented enough to warrant the impending media crush that will descend on their organization.
"If I'm in the locker room," one scout told the Daily News, "I want to know one thing: Can you get the quarterback on the ground or not?"
There is no consensus. Although Sam's
111/2 sacks helped him earn SEC Defensive Player of the Year honors, it's unclear how his skill set will translate to the next level. Two scouts I spoke to firmly believe he's destined to be a fourth- to seventh-round pick. One personnel executive tabbed him as a possible third-rounder. At 6-2, 255 pounds, some believe that the undersized Sam is destined to be a situational pass rusher in the NFL.
Sam's announcement, while courageous and commendable, may have unwittingly made him toxic to some organizations that believe the risk of distraction far outweighs any possible gains on the field.
It's the Tebow Effect.
From the moment that more than 200 media members, including 30 television stations, covered Tim Tebow's introductory press conference at the Jets' indoor practice field in Florham Park two years ago, his presence became one colossal migraine for the organization. Tebowmania swallowed the Jets, the symbol of the circus that defined their season.
Although Jets players never truly blamed Tebow for his cult following, the daily storylines for a backup quarterback/personal punt protector became irritating to them. He simply wasn't good enough to warrant all the attention. His teammates, frankly, were annoyed by incessant questions about a role player. The organization underestimated the magnitude of the phenomenon. The Tebow trade ultimately affected key figures in the organization. GM Mike Tannenbaum was fired after the 2012 season due to a string of questionable decisions, including bringing in Tebow. Tebow's presence had an undeniably harmful effect on Mark Sanchez.
Offensive coordinator Tony Sparano was fired after his inability to integrate Tebow into the offense. The Jets cut ties with Tebow after the season to rid themselves of the circus perception that irritated just about everyone in the building.
Tebow's brief audition with the Patriots in training camp last year notwithstanding, the polarizing Heisman Trophy winner became a cautionary tale for teams.
The Pinstripe Express
Sam would have been immune to the Tebow Effect if he were a projected first-round pick. The league is in short supply of elite pass rushers. If Sam had the ability to consistently command double teams and be a force on the edge, his draft status wouldn't be significantly affected by his choice to come out less than two weeks before the scouting combine. He would have still been a first-rounder.
Sam, however, fell 70 spots on the CBS draft board overnight after he went public with his sexual orientation. NFL evaluators who have graded him to be a late-round pick may choose to pass altogether, believing his ability to improve the team isn't enough to deal with the heightened level of distraction. Those organizations may have pause for concern, questioning the attention that will surely trail a rookie situational pass rusher.
"If a guy's a good teammate and he can help you win, I'd be open to anybody in our locker room," Rex Ryan said about the possibility of having a gay player in the NFL in an interview with HuffSports.com last summer. "That wouldn't bother me whatsoever."
Is Sam worth it?
"Ultimately it's going to take a team that has strong leadership," an NFC executive said. "After Year One, it'll be a nonissue."
Maybe so, but the accompanying noise right now may be too loud for some teams to ignore.

It has always been interesting to see how smoking cigarettes and sex go hand-in-hand according to Hollywood. After all, how is smoking cigarettes that give you bad breath, turn your teeth yellow and make you prone to various diseases all that sexy? Let’s be real, it’s not.
In fact, if you want to improve your sex life, ditching the traditional cigarette should be the first thing you do. In addition to initial attraction, many doctors agree that a person’s sex drive is reduced by smoking. The main reason for this is the obstruction of the circulatory flow which causes soft erections in men and can cause women to have reduced sensations. Smoking has also been blamed for being a major culprit in erectile dysfunction.
In 2007, a Chinese study found that smoking is just as bad for your sex life as it is for the body. Over 7,500 men were involved in the study between the ages of 35-74. None of these men had vascular disease and they were surveyed about their sex life and smoking habits.
Several important conclusions were drawn from this research, including a “statistical link between the number of cigarettes that men smoked and the likelihood they would experience erectile dysfunction.”
All of that does not sound too “sexually appealing,” does it? Can making the switch to the vaping world actually improve your sex life?
Let’s assume your partner is not a smoker. Each time you have enjoyed a sexual experience together, you are releasing dangerous toxins that are not only bad for you but to them as well! The good news is that e-cigs are odorless devices that do not release smoke into the air, but rather water vapor that won’t linger in the room or on your clothes.
Of course, there still needs to be more research conducted on the effects of e-cigs and your sex life. However, the simple fact of not killing a romantic moment with a pungent cigarette may be appealing enough for some to make the switch now.
If you are ready, check out our e-cig starter kits at EverSmoke and begin the vaping journey! Also, browse through our blog and learning center to discover more ways e-cigs outshine, outlast and out-perform traditional cigarettes.

In the ongoing fight around Raqqa, the Islamic State’s de facto capital city inside Syria, some American Special Forces soldiers are wearing Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG) patches on their uniforms as they back up Kurdish troops.
The sight of Americans wearing Kurdish patches is powerful, though perhaps not always for the reasons you might think.
For the American and Kurdish forces, it’s meant as a potent symbol of democratic unity against the common foe of ISIS. But the United States’s increasingly close partnership with the Kurds has increased tensions with Turkey, America’s NATO ally just a few miles to the north.
Turks have spent decades putting down Kurdish revolutions in violent clashes. Now that Turkish forces are fighting ISIS in Syria and Iraq, they say that the Kurds also fighting ISIS are the same terrorists they’ve been dealing with since the 1970s.
President Barack Obama recently sent 250 American Special Forces soldiers to Syria, increasing the American presence dramatically in the area around Raqqa.
American Special Forces are “not going to be leading the fight on the ground, but they will be essential in providing the training and assisting local forces as they continue to drive ISIL back,” Obama said in April, using an alternate acronym for ISIS.
Early on Wednesday, American and Kurdish troops, along with some Russian support, launched an offensive against the area surrounding Raqqa. The operation is aimed at “putting pressure on Raqqa” but not capturing the city, an American military spokesman told the BBC.
Far to the south in Iraq, the country’s soldiers and militias, along with American-led coalition forces, are fighting near the ISIS-controlled city of Fallujah, less than 40 miles from Baghdad. That offensive is intended to capture Fallujah, which has been used as a base of attack against the capital city.
The fighting in Fallujah has been exceptionally violent, with reports that ISIS is using death squads against any civilians who try to flee the city during the chaos.

It can be viewed as enhanced version of 1.2311 alloy, with 1% nickel content having a positive effect on hardenability. AMM Advanced Mould Materials High-performance high stresses. Its outstanding characteristics are high strength along with medium conductivity, and it has a special resistance to cracking when exposed to thermal stresses caused by large temperature fluctuations in the mould wall. Productivity range The high thermal conductivity of copper based alloys, as compared with the steel alloys that are Casting Superalloys for Structural ApplicationsThe development of the high strength weldable Alloy 718 (INCONEL 718 patented by INCO) 50 years ago enabled large size, complex geometry, structural castings to be produced efficiently and thus replacing previous weld assembly part designs made of less potent stainless steel grade alloys.
Difference Between Low-Alloy Steel & High-Alloy Steel. Alloy Steel is steel that is alloyed with a variety of elements in total amounts between 1.0% and 50% by weight to improve its mechanical properties.Alloy steels are broken down into two groups:low-alloy steels and high-alloy steels.. High-Alloy Steel. High-alloy steels are defined by a high percentage of alloying elements. EP3252175A1 - Molded steel alloy, corresponding part and This cast steel alloy is constituted, in percentage by mass, of the following elements:carbon (C) between 0.08% and 0.4%, silicon (Si) between 0.15% and 2%, nickel (Ni) between 24% and 31%, cobalt (Co) between 15% and 30%, - niobium (Nb) between 0.01% and 2.5%, optionally molybdenum (Mo) at a content of less than or equal to 3% by weight and high temperature alloy mould steel or manganese (Mn) at a content of not more than 1 H-13, P-20, 420ss - Alloy Tool Steel Inc.H-13 is widely used in the die cast and aluminum extrusion business as a material of choice, H-13 offers toughness, temper resistance operates in high temperatures, and also offers heat check resistance.

High temperature steel - IMOAEven so, the alloys used in these different applications employ the same mechanisms to improve creep strength. Molybdenum in solid solution reduces the creep rate of steel very effectively. It slows the coagulation and coarsening (Ostwald ripening) of carbides during high-temperature service. High-Temperature Aluminized Low-Carbon Steel Sheets Coated with an aluminum-silicon alloy, these low-carbon steel sheets resist corrosion while withstanding long-term exposure to high temperatures. Low-carbon steel, also known as mild steel, is easy to machine, form, and weld. Use these sheets in drying ovens, furnaces, and smokestacks.. Certificates with a traceable lot number are available for these products. High-temperature Alloys for Industrial ApplicationsAlloys, such as MULTIMET® alloy, HASTELLOY® X alloy and HAYNES® 188 alloy have been leaders in the aerospace and aircraft engine field during the entire latter half of the twentieth century. The data on the following pages document the unsurpassed high-temperature properties of our latest alloys.
Melt and pour these alloys into molds to create metal parts and prototypes.. Bismuth and indium alloy s expand slightly as they solidify, pushing into the crevices of a mold to produce detailed replicas. These alloys are useful for repairing dies, creating fusible links, and holding delicate parts for machining. Indium alloys have a low melting temperature so they can be cast in molds made Nickel and High Temp Alloy Sheet On Continental Steel Incoloy 800HT is a nickel-iron-chromium alloy with good strength and excellent resistance to oxidation and carburization in high-temperature atmospheres. It also resists corrosion by many aqueous environments. Incoloy 800HT maintains a stable, austenitic structure during prolonged exposure to high temperatures. Picking Stainless Steel for High Temperature ApplicationsThe thing is, a metal alloy might have different tolerances for exposure to high temperatures depending on whether said exposure is continuous or intermittent. Here are some examples of continuous and intermittent stainless steel temperature limits:Grade 304. Continuous:1,700°F (925°C) Intermittent:1,600°F (870°C) Grade 309 Plastic Mold Steel Material, Aisi 4140 & 42crmo4 Steel Hot forging mould is mainly used to make the mould steel under high temperature conditions.

Depending on the site and local ordinances, dried ferns can also be burned. In colder regions, dead ferns catch snow and help retain soil moisture. They also reduce winter soil erosion, which can be a concern on sloped sites. Ferns left on through the winter and early spring can delay spear emergence by virtue of shading and Figure 8.

Over 6 time, the planting becomes less productive and eventu- ally not economical to manage. Early signs of crown rot should be monitored and aggressively addressed with application of registered fungicide drenches. In addition, it has been noted that nitrogen fertilizers may enhance this disease, and total rates should be reduced in subsequent years. Most new cultivars are noted for their asparagus rust resistance. However, under condi- tions of high rainfall and humidity, the disease should be monitored and controlled, particularly toward the end of the summer when ferns are building the crowns for next year’s crop.

Email forward warns that drivers should not use cruise control in wet conditions because its use can cause the vehicle to accelerate and fly through the air if it hits standing water and hydroplanes.
The message contains some valid information, but is nevertheless misleading and alarmist. Using cruise control in wet conditions certainly can be dangerous but it will NOT cause your vehicle to speed up and fly through the air.
Subject: Fw: Great safety tip NEVER KNEW THIS BEFORE I wonder how many people know about this? A 36-year-old female had an accident several weeks ago and totalled her car. A resident of Wollongong, NSW, she was travelling between Wollongong & Sydney. It was raining, though not excessively, when her car suddenly began to hydroplane and literally flew through the air. She was not seriously injured but very stunned at the sudden occurrence! When she explained to the policeman what had happened, he told her something that every driver should know - NEVER DRIVE IN THE RAIN WITH YOUR CRUISE CONTROL ON. She had thought she was being cautious by setting the cruise control and maintaining a safe consistent speed in the rain. But the policeman told her that if the cruise control is on and your car begins to hydroplane -- when your tyres lose contact with the pavement, your car will accelerate to a higher rate of speed and you take off like an airplane. She told the policeman that was exactly what had occurred. The policeman estimated her car was actually travelling through the air At 10 to 15 kms per hour faster than the speed set on the cruise control. The policeman said this warning should be listed, on the driver's seat sun-visor - NEVER USE THE CRUISE CONTROL WHEN THE PAVEMENT IS WET OR ICY, along with the airbag warning. We tell our teenagers to set the cruise control and drive a safe speed - but we don't tell them to use the cruise control only when the road is dry. The only person the accident victim found, who knew this (besides the policeman), was a man who had had a similar accident, totalled his car and sustained severe injuries. If you send this to 15 people and only one of them doesn't know about this, then it was all worth it. You might have saved a life.
This email forward warns that drivers should not use cruise control in the rain. The message claims that using cruise control can actually cause the vehicle to accelerate through the air if it hits standing water and hydroplanes (aquaplanes).
While the core claim (don’t use cruise control in wet conditions) is valid, the message seriously mangles the facts and is therefore misleading and overly alarmist.
Certainly, using your vehicle’s cruise control in wet or icy conditions can be dangerous – but not for the reasons outlined in this warning message. It almost goes without saying that aquaplaning can occur regardless of whether cruise control is engaged or not. Aquaplaning occurs when a tyre’s grooves cannot remove water quickly enough and the tyre therefore loses contact with the road surface and skims across the top of the standing water. Car accidents often happen as a result of aquaplaning, but in many cases this is due to poorly maintained vehicles, driver inattention or poor road conditions and has nothing at all to do with cruise control.
That said, if cruise control is engaged when aquaplaning occurs, the driver’s subsequent reaction could make the encounter worse than it may have otherwise been. For example, the driver may hit the brake heavily to disengage cruise control and this could lock up the wheels completely. Furthermore, drivers often move their feet away from the pedals when cruise control is engaged and they may also be a little less attentive than normal. In an aquaplaning situation the small delay caused by these factors could equate to the difference between a safe recovery and a serious accident. Also, an inattentive driver could hit the accelerator instead of the brake to disengage cruise control, and this could of course speed up the vehicle and lead to loss of control.
However, the claim in the message that cruise control itself can actually make the vehicle accelerate and fly through the air in a hydroplaning situation is dubious at best. A CarPoint Australia article that debunks the claims in the email notes:
This is the key that makes a nonsense of the email. Modern cars take their speedo reading from the driveshaft or transmission. This means the cruise control bases its responses on the speed of the driven wheels, not the car itself. This is an important distinction and fail safe position.
If the driven wheels skid because they lose grip, the spinning wheels will cause the speedo to show a higher reading which will force the cruise control to release the throttle faster than most drivers. Regardless of whether the car itself slows down or speeds up, the cruise control will always reduce the throttle no matter what until the driven wheels slow down back to the pre-set speed.
If the wheels continue to slip under this scenario, this will always leave the car travelling more slowly relative to the road, not faster as described in the email.
This finding is confirmed by the RAA’s Technical Manager Mark Borlace, who explains:
“Should the car’s tyres break traction with the road, such as in an aquaplane situation, the increase in wheel speed would be sensed and the cruise control system would then reduce the amount of throttle and maintain the set speed.”
“Additionally, cruise control systems are deactivated as soon as the brake is applied. As braking is usually an automatic reaction in most emergency situations, the scenario of cruise control causing an increase in vehicle speed is highly unlikely.”
Thus, there is no inherent factor in the cruise control mechanism itself that could lead to a hydroplaning vehicle speeding up and flying through the air.
Like many email “warnings” there is no way of verifying if the event described in the message actually occurred or was simply added to drive home the core points. The version included here is set in Australia. However, other versions with virtually identical wording have featured US place names. Another popular version changes the location to a road between Gladewater & Kilgore, Texas. This duplication implies that, at least for later versions of the message, the perpetrator is not relating an actual incident he or she has experienced but has simply altered an existing message to fit local conditions.
The bottom line? Using cruise control in wet conditions certainly can be dangerous but it will NOT cause your vehicle to speed up and fly through the air. Engaging cruise control in any road situation that is less than optimal is ill-advised. Such road situations include not only wet and rainy conditions , but also icy roads, high traffic, poor visibility and rough, narrow, hilly or excessively bendy roads. However, do we really need an unverified and factually dubious email forward to make us aware of such factors? I would hope that not using cruise control in wet or other potentially dangerous conditions would simply be common sense for any responsible driver.

Spriggs M, Douglass H, Park R, et al., 2021, Study protocol for “Psilocybin as a Treatment for Anorexia Nervosa: A Pilot Study", Frontiers in Psychiatry, Vol: 12, Pages: 1-16, ISSN: 1664-0640
Background: Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a serious and life-threatening psychiatric condition. With a paucity of approved treatments, there is a desperate need for novel treatment avenues to be explored. Here, we present 1) an overview of the ways through which Public Patient Involvement (PPI) has informed a trial of psilocybin-assisted therapy for AN and 2) aprotocol for a pilot study of psilocybin-assisted therapy in AN currently underway at Imperial College London. The study aims to assess the feasibility, brain mechanisms and preliminary outcomes of treating anorexia nervosa with psilocybin. Methods: 1) PPI: Across two online focus groups, eleven individuals with lived experience of AN were presented with an overview of the protocol. Their feedback not only identified solutions to possible barriers for future participants, but also helped the research team to better understand the concept of “recovery” from the perspective of those with lived experience. 2) Protocol: Over a 6-week period, twenty female participants (21-65 years old,body mass index (BMI) ³15kg/m2) will receive three oral doses of psilocybin (up to 25 mg) delivered in a therapeutic environment and enveloped by psychological preparation and integration. We will work with participant support networks (care teams and an identified support person) throughout and there will be an extended remote follow-up period of 12 months. Our twofold primary outcomes are 1) psychopathology (Eating Disorder Examination) across the 6-month follow-up and 2) readiness and motivation to engage in recovery (Readiness and Motivation Questionnaire) across the 6-week trial period. Neurophysiological outcome measures will be: 1) functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) brain changes from baseline to 6-week endpoint and 2) post-acute changes in electroencephalography (EEG) activity, including an electrophysiological marker of neuronal plasticity. Discussion: The results of this pilot study will not only shed

I started the book and could not put it down till I ran out of pages. In fact, I was grateful it stopped since I sorely needed a break from the ups and downs…’cause you don’t know who is gonna get killed and Mr. Curtis is not shy about playing with your favorites.

Scarlett Johansson has been voted as having the best boobs in Hollywood
Scarlett Johansson beat the likes of Halle Berry and Jessica Simpson to be awarded the top honour, clearly signifying her acting skills so far have been put to good use.
In a poll by US TV show Access Hollywood, Scarlett's 34DD boobs are obviously a firm favourite with film fans, in addition to being popular among her fellow celebs.
Her co-star in the Other Boleyn Girl, Natalie Portman once said: "Seriously, I would really want to grab Scarlett's breasts. She's got beautiful ones," according to The Sun.
Salma Hayek came second in the poll, with Halle Berry, Jessica Simpson and Jennifer Love Hewitt making up the rest of the top five.

text: In this study we investigated the relationship between melatonin pathway and multiple sclerosis (MS) in a high-risk Finnish population by studying the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the genes coding for critical enzymes and receptors involved in the melatonin pathway. A total of 590 subjects (193 MS patients and 397 healthy controls) were genotyped for seven SNPs in four genes including tryptophan hydroxylases (TPH)1 and 2, arylalkylamine N-acetyltransferase (AANAT) and melatonin receptor 1B (MTNR1B). An overrepresentation of T allele carriers of a functional polymorphism (G-703T, rs4570625) in the promoter region of TPH2 gene was observed in the progressive MS subtypes. The haplotype rs4570625-rs10506645TT of TPH2 gene was associated with the risk of severe disability in primary progressive MS (PPMS), while haplotype rs4570625-rs10506645TC appeared to be protective against disability in secondary progressive MS (SPMS). In the MTNR1B gene, the haplotype rs10830963-rs4753426GC was associated with the risk of SPMS, whereas another haplotype rs10830963-rs4753426GT showed an association with the risk of PPMS. These data showing the association of polymorphisms in the TPH2 and MTNR1B genes with the progressive subtypes of MS and disability suggest dysregulation in melatonin pathway. Melatonin pathway seems to be involved in disease progression, and therefore its potential effects in overcoming MS-related neurodegeneration may be worth evaluating in future clinical trials.


Remembrance Sunday 2022 at Commonwealth War Graves in Bulgaria’s Plovdiv
A traditional Remembrance Sunday service was held in the Commonwealth War Graves section of Plovdiv Central Cemetery St Archangel Mihail on November 13 2022.
UK ambassador Rob Dixon, Irish ambassador Martina Feeney, serving and former officers and members of the public paid tribute to the memory of all those who died in the wars of the 20th century.
Fifty-six graves are in the Commonwealth War Graves section – 55 of military personnel from the United Kingdom, and one of a Bulgarian serviceman who was seconded to the British forces as an interpreter.
Father Patrick Irwin led the Service of Remembrance.
Before the Last Post was sounded, ahead of two minutes’ silence, the Exhortation was read:
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

By Philip Yatai
Kaduna, Oct. 15, 2020 The Coalition of Associations for Leadership, Peace, Empowerment and Development (CALPED) has appealed to the Kaduna State House of Assembly to allocate funds for agricultural mechanisation in the state’s 2021 draft budget.
The NGO’s Head, Leadership, Governance and Advocacy, Mr Yusuf Goje, made the appeal during a virtual Public Hearing on the state’s proposed budget for 2021 financial year, organised by the Assembly.
Goje said the Ministry of Agriculture had proposed N73.8 million for procurement of combine harvesters to promote agricultural mechanisation but was not captured in the draft budget.
He urged the members of the House to allocate funds for mechanisation in the budget to accelerate the full mechanisation and commercialisation of the agricultural sector.
He also said that N10.23 million was proposed for Agricultural Extension Services by the ministry of agriculture but was slashed to N9.6 million.
Goje urged the Assembly members to increase the amount to enable the ministry to deploy technology-driven extension services to help improve agricultural productivity of farmers across the state.
“Similarly, N10.5 million was proposed by the ministry for Community Seed Production Enhancement Projects but was reduced to N9.9 million in the draft budget.
“I urge this House to consider reversing the figure, as seed is a critical input in crop production and currently about 69.4 per cent of farmers in the state use grains instead of seeds.
“The proposed N16.9 million for the procurement of chemicals and veterinary consumables was also not captured, and we appeal to the House to consider the line item, because livestock plays a crucial role in the livelihood of families,” Goje said.
He noted that 80 per cent of Kaduna State residents relied on agriculture as their source of livelihood, noting that the sector had yet to get the deserved attention.
According to him, the allocation to the sector was merely 4.6 per cent of the total 2021 budget, acknowledging an increase from 0.9 per cent allocated in 2020.
“For capital expenditure which directly affects the farmers, we have seen an increase in allocation from 1.3 per cent of the total capital budget in 2020 to 6.6 per cent in the proposal for 2021 capital expenditure.
“But it is worrisome that out of the 26 capital interventions proposed by the ministry of agriculture, only seven interventions were captured in the draft budget.
“Also, of the more than N10 billion allocated to the ministry, more N9 billion is coming from development partners with the state contributing only about N200 million as counterpart fund.
“This is very poor, considering the strategic place of agriculture in the socio-economic development of the state,” he said.
Goje also urged the House to look at the issue of feeder roads in the budget of the Ministry for Local Government Affairs, which was not getting the needed funding and release of allocated funds.
He noted that the government was doing a lot in urban renewal, stressing that feeder roads that impact on rural economy had been neglected.
He also noted that Kauru Special Intervention Rural Electrification Project had been in the ministry’s budget for a very long time without releases of the funds, even as Kauru LGA was among the backward councils in the state.
Responding, the Chairman, House Committee on Budget and Appropriation, Ahmed Mohammed, commended the citizens for engaging and taking ownership of the budget processes.
Mohammed assured the citizens that the House would use their submissions to engage the ministries, departments, and agencies during the budget defence and make adjustments where necessary.

Cairo, August 26, 2023 — The historic bond between Egypt and Russia reaches a momentous milestone as the nations celebrate their 80th anniversary of diplomatic ties.
In a significant gesture, Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry and his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov have engaged in a warm exchange of greeting letters. These letters not only reaffirm the profound and enduring relations between Egypt and Russia but also underscore the shared commitment to fostering collaboration across all domains while nurturing the spirit of friendship between the peoples of both nations. The Foreign Ministry’s official statement on Saturday, August 26, 2023, encapsulated this sentiment.
The year-long commemoration of this 80th anniversary will be marked by an array of events and collaborative initiatives. These endeavors aim to cast a spotlight on the rich history of the multifaceted and resilient relations between Egypt and Russia.
An illuminating gesture took place on the evening of Friday, as Egypt’s Foreign Ministry adorned its premises with radiant lights, spelling out the words “Egypt, Russia 80.” This luminous tribute was a fitting tribute to the eight decades of diplomatic rapport between the two nations.

Detroit auto executives are gambling billions of dollars that a new administration in the White House will help boost consumer confidence and ease the recession's grip on new-car sales.
Expecting at least a modest upswing in the market, General Motors Corp., Ford Motor Co. and Chrysler Corp. are investing huge sums in new and improved hardware for the 1994-95 model years, with the aim of luring shoppers back into domestic dealers' showrooms and away from the import competition.
While a substantial slice of that investment is earmarked for new high-ticket luxury vehicles and sporty "niche" products, the Big Three automakers are not neglecting the heart of the market: compact and midsize models.
Family-oriented cars, including the Chevrolet Lumina and the Ford Tempo, will be overhauled from the ground up in the next year or two to make them more competitive with such popular Japanese rivals as the Toyota Camry and the Honda Accord.
In the quest to freshen their product lines and upgrade their images with younger, import-minded shoppers, the U.S. automakers even may shuffle and replace some familiar nameplates before the new models hit the street.
To generate additional public interest, at least one all-new entry-the Oldsmobile Aurora-will be shown at the Chicago Auto Show more than a year in advance of its sale date. Likewise, some familiar models that have been slated for major surgery in the near future-notably the venerable Ford Mustang-are appearing at the show as thinly disguised "concept" vehicles.
The following new and redesigned domestic cars are the most significant entries planned for the 1994-95 model years:
Buoyed by the early popularity of its new LH sedans, Chrysler is pulling out all stops in redesigning and replacing most of its existing car lines by the mid-1990s.
Showgoers will get a glimpse of two additions to the LH series slated for spring debuts at dealerships. The '94 New Yorker and sporty New Yorker LHS are essentially fully equipped, upscale variants of the Chrysler Concorde.
The new entries measure 207 inches overall-six to seven inches longer than the standard LH sedans-but ride on the same 113-inch wheelbase. The LHS will get a special touring suspension, larger wheels and tires, bucket seats and a monochromatic grille and trim. The more luxurious New Yorker will seat six; the LHS, five. Both will be powered by a 215-horsepower, 24-valve, 3.5-liter, V-6 engine with an electronic four-speed automatic transmission.
Shortly after those cars make their debuts, the older Fifth Avenue and Imperial sedans will be phased out of production at the Belvidere, Ill., assembly plant to make way for production of the new PL-series subcompacts-the '94 Dodge Neon and Plymouth Neon, which will replace the Dodge Shadow and the Plymouth Sundance. Chrysler last month announced that the Neon will be introduced in January, 1994, as an early 1995 model. The company chose not to bring a prototype to the show.
The first PL four-door sedans, styled along the lines of the earlier Dodge Neon concept car, are slated to begin production in late '93 at Belvidere. Their first official public appearance may be in January, 1994, at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. Sporty two-doors are scheduled to join the series in the '95 model year.
Chrysler is dropping the Mexican-built Shadow convertible and won't replace it with a similar model in the Neon line.
In the spring of '94, a successor to the Eagle Talon hatchback will arrive from Diamond-Star Motors Corp. in Normal, Ill. The next Talon will share many components with Mitsubishi Motors Corp.'s new Galant sedan, which goes into production this spring at Diamond-Star, and the '95 replacements for the Dodge Daytona and Chrysler LeBaron coupe. All three Chrysler products are to share a new common chassis, designated FJ.
A successor to the LeBaron convertible is likely to come from the company's Toluca plant in Mexico, but it won't arrive before the '96 model year.
The current Dodge Spirit and Chrysler LeBaron sedans will be supplanted in fall 1994 by new four-doors, for now designated the JA series. A potential successor to the companion Plymouth Acclaim also is being considered.
In 1995, there may be a hardtop model of the limited-production Viper, joining the convertible, which is hand-assembled at a small plant on Detroit's east side.
Planners in Dearborn, Mich., are wrapping up details on the Mustang's successor, scheduled to arrive in spring 1994, in time for the car's 30th anniversary. In the meantime, you'll get a pretty good indication of what the next-generation model will look like from the concept Mustang Mach III on display at the show.
Although the Mustang will continue to be based on the current rear-drive "Fox" platform, it will get new sheet metal and be fitted with an all-new cockpit and revised suspension and driveline. It likely will be badged as a '95 model.
Ford insiders report the car will be offered as a hatchback, coupe and convertible, in LX and GT versions. It will feature a more modern, rounded profile, although massive air scoops in the body sides recall the original. It will be offered with a 3-liter, V-6 engine or a 5-liter V-8.
In addition, a limited-edition, high-performance model of the new Mustang will share the 280-horsepower, twin-cam, 32-valve, 4.6-liter, V-8 engine with the new Lincoln Mark VIII.
The midsize, rear-wheel-drive Thunderbird and Mercury Cougar specialty coupes are scheduled to receive new interior designs for '94, as well as modest sheet-metal changes. A 210-horsepower, single-overhead-cam, 4.6-liter, V-8 engine will be offered for the first time as an option. The same 32-valve, V-8 engine that's in the Mark VIII will be offered in the Thunderbird Super Coupe in 1994.
South Korean affiliate Kia Motors Corp. (with engineering assistance from Mazda Motor Corp.) expects to supply Ford this fall with a redesigned version of the mini-compact Festiva.
The Australian-built Capri roadster will get a modest face-lift inside and out, which may carry it through the 1996 model year in the States.
Ford has equally ambitious plans for the 1995 model year: It will completely remake the Tempo/Topaz twins and the Lincoln Continental.
The small cars will get more rounded designs and be powered by one of several new families of twin-cam, multivalve engines, including a 2-liter four-cylinder from Mexico and a 2.5-liter V-6. The front-wheel-drive Continental will be revamped inside and out for 1995, with power supplied by the 280-horsepower, twin-cam, 32-valve, 4.6-liter, V-8 engine now in the Mark VIII.
Chevrolet will take the lead in restocking the product pipeline in the coming year. Following the recent debut of its all-new Camaro, Chevrolet expects to unveil a resculpted Lumina sedan in the spring of 1994 to pit against the best-selling Ford Taurus, as well as Accord and Camry, in the hotly contested mid-size segment.
Lumina's updated mechanicals also will be used as the base for a revived Monte Carlo coupe-the first front-wheel-drive product to wear that familiar badge-in spring '94. Fitted with a variety of sporty underpinnings, including a twin-cam, 3.4-liter, V-6 engine, the new Monte Carlo will supplant the Lumina Z34 coupe in mid-1994.
Over the next two years, the division also plans modest cosmetic changes but no major mechanical upgrades for the Cavalier, Corsica and Beretta compacts.
In its Geo series, the Ingersoll, Canada-built Metro mini-compact will get fresh styling in the fall of '94. A replacement for the sporty coupe-coming from Suzuki Motor Co.-will not arrive until the 1996 model year.
Oldsmobile's upcoming Aurora luxury sedan is a showstopper. Its chic exterior will cover a full-size, performance-oriented chassis, with power supplied by a new 250-horsepower, twin-cam, 4-liter, V-8 engine-essentially a smaller version of Cadillac's Northstar V-8 engine.
Priced from around $32,000, this sleek, five-passenger four-door next year will enter the near-luxury segment that is largely dominated by such Japanese import brands as Lexus, Infiniti and Acura. Aurora will arrive in spring 1994, as a 1995 model. It eventually will replace the 98-and a version of the Aurora eventually will replace the 88.
It will serve as the division's flagship, filling the niche left by the defunct Toronado. The Aurora is at the Chicago Auto Show.
As Oldsmobile continues to revamp its lineup, a stretched version of the Achieva eventually will replace the Cutlass Supreme.
Buick's all-new Riviera for 1995 will be a two-door companion to the Aurora. While it shares some major underbody components with its counterpart, the '95 Riviera will get its own styling treatment and powertrain-reportedly a supercharged, 3.8-liter, V-6 engine similar to the one in the big Park Avenue Ultra sedan.
This fall, Cadillac will continue the image-rebuilding campaign that commenced two years ago with the redesign of the Seville and the Eldorado. The division has a serious makeover planned for its Sedan DeVille.
For the '94 model year, the front-wheel-drive four-door will share most major mechanicals with the Seville and Eldorado, including an electronic four-speed automatic transmission and computer-controlled suspension.
The top-of-the-line edition-it will be badged DeVille Concours-will be powered by the 295-horsepower, twin-cam, 32-valve, 4.6-liter, Northstar V-8 engine.
Pontiac has few major changes in store for the '94 model year, outside of a redesigned cockpit for the Grand Prix.
Saturn's single-platform lineup of three models-a coupe, a sedan and a wagon-will be updated cosmetically and mechanically in the next two years.
