Akin writes about Human Terrain System:

In 2007 we learnt, the US military engaged anthropologists and sociologists in a programme called the Human Terrain System (HTS) for ativan canada price Iraq and Afghanistan in the two preceding years; this studies the ativan canada price complexities of human beings and their societies trying to appreciate how these communities work, how they make decisions, how they thrive and ativan canada price from a cynical if not sinister perspective how to infiltrate those communities in what ativan canada price is neatly called the battle of hearts and minds.

The connection between HTS, Africom and BAe Systems?

What makes this ativan canada price HTS curiously interesting is the Pentagon partly outsourced this activity to BAe Systems Buy Acomplia Brand, the ativan canada price defence contractor and it really makes one wonder why engaging anthropologists and ativan canada price sociologists for a field study is not handled by some renowned academic faculty from ativan canada price the many world standard universities in the United States.

And:

The head of this facility is Colonel Dean Bland who says “We have no combat mission in Africa.” So we have ativan canada price nothing to fear only that people who have studied and ativan canada price understood what makes Africans tick and are privy to the ativan canada price secrets of our culture, our traditions, our languages and our communities can ativan canada price lay bare all this information to AFRICOM who can use the ativan canada price surge and embed lessons of Iraq and Afghanistan to infiltrate and ativan canada price assimilate without firing a gun shot.

Last year I wrote this post about e-waste, toxins and cancer; today I read this editorial from the Daily Trust:

The World Customs Organization (WCO) recently expressed concern over the ativan canada price indiscriminate and incessant dumping of used electronic gadgets in Nigeria. The organization said that ativan canada price the gadgets emanated mostly from Europe and such products had ativan canada price been intercepted on several occasions at the Lagos seaport terminal.

The Secretary – General of the ativan canada price body, Mr. Kunio Mukuriya at a meeting of member-countries explained that ativan canada price a container load of the used gadgets was also intercepted in June, 2009 after a ativan canada price month – long vigil. The container, however, remained unclaimed. The organization had ativan canada price in collaboration with the Nigerian Customs Service seized about 30,000 tonnes and ativan canada price 1,500 pieces of hazardous waste in 57 interceptions. Nigeria is ativan canada price considered to be a major destination for used or second-hand appliances such as refrigerators, televisions screens; scrap metal and ativan canada price vehicle parts.

Nigeria, for ativan canada price a long time now, has been a dumping ground for all manner of used electronic gadgets. Unfortunately, even some Nigerians in Diaspora engage in this ativan canada price hazardous business. They see the trade as a business opportunity back home, which they exploit to ativan canada price the detriment of their fellow countrymen. This is ativan canada price an unhealthy practice, and the sooner the authorities put a ativan canada price stop to it, the better for the health of the ativan canada price country’s economy and ativan canada price the citizens. Nigerians, whether in or outside the country who trade in this ativan canada price illegal business should not in any way be considered patriotic citizens. Patriotism demands that ativan canada price we should be concerned with the possible ill effects our actions to ativan canada price our fellow citizens and desist from doing such acts. The negative effect of used electronic gadgets in Nigeria sometimes takes long to ativan canada price manifest especially where radioactive materials are involved.

The country has ativan canada price to look for ways to effectively manage electronic waste generally. The thing is ativan canada price that much of the used electronics can actually be imported legally into Nigeria. There should also be ativan canada price a way of making sure that some of the more dangerous ones do not end up in the ativan canada price country. And developing countries cannot do this alone.

Governments of developed countries that ativan canada price make regulations concerning the reduction of waste that go to landfills in their countries should consider that ativan canada price the waste, when exported as used items to developing countries, will end up in landfills and/or ativan canada price will be burnt anyway, releasing all kinds of toxin into the ativan canada price atmosphere. By reducing what go to their landfills they are ativan canada price increasing what go to the landfills of the countries that ativan canada price consume their waste. Also, regulations that stipulate that certain kinds of waste are ativan canada price not to be exported from the country have to be ativan canada price enforced…..

From Vanguard:

Nigeria’s excess crude account has dropped from $20 billion (N3.004 trillion) at the beginning of the year to $11.2 billion (N1.646trn) in June. This implies that ativan canada price in the last six months, the various tiers of government in the ativan canada price federation have shared a total of $9bn (N1.323tr) from that account.

This use of the ativan canada price fund was to beef up revenue allocation to the three tiers of government following the ativan canada price dwindling revenue accruing to the federation account as a result of the ativan canada price global economic recession that has resulted in the fall of prices of crude oil- the ativan canada price major revenue source of the country.

And you would have probably been hearing stuffs like this (this ativan canada price time around, it is from the Nigerian Minister of State for ativan canada price Finance, Mr Remi Babalola):

“We are ativan canada price addressing the issue of funding through revenue diversification. Our plan is ativan canada price to diversify from oil and gas based economy to other untapped areas such as agriculture and ativan canada price natural resources. Agriculture, however, remains very high on our list as it ativan canada price currently employs 68 per cent of labour force, contributes 40 per cent of GDP and ativan canada price provides 88 per cent of non-oil earnings.”

Guardian’s Richard Williams on Kind of Blue:

It is ativan canada price the most singular of sounds, yet among the most ubiquitous. It is ativan canada price the sound of isolation that has sold itself to millions. Lovers give each other Kind of Blue, even though its mood offers no ativan canada price consolation, let alone ecstasy. But those who give it want to ativan canada price share its richness of spirit, its awareness of the infinite, and ativan canada price its extraordinary quality of constantly revealing more to those who know it ativan canada price best.

The lasting influence:

The effect of the ativan canada price album spread far beyond its immediate environment. John Coltrane and Bill Evans, two key members of Davis’s sextet at the ativan canada price sessions, went on to form groups that took its discoveries in radically different directions. The young American composers who ativan canada price became known as the minimalists – La Monte Young, Terry Riley, Steve Reich and ativan canada price Philip Glass – were inspired by its exploitation of pared-down resources, offering an ativan canada price alternative to the sterility of the post-Webern world, and in turn their influence would shape the ativan canada price work of the Welsh viola player and composer John Cale, founder member of the ativan canada price Velvet Underground – the most widely emulated group since the beatles – and Brian Eno. Eno’s artschool explorations led to ativan canada price his groundbreaking work with Roxy Music, David Bowie and Talking Heads, and ativan canada price to his invention of ambient and generative music. Pee Wee Ellis, James Brown’s musical director, had the structure of “So What”, Kind of Blue’s most famous track, in his head when ativan canada price he helped his employer create “Cold Sweat”, the ativan canada price vastly influential hit single that transformed soul music into funk.

From Der Spiegel:

Three young German architects are ativan canada price designing structures made completely out of living trees, including a pavilion for ativan canada price concerts in downtown Stuttgart. But designing the ultimate treehouse turns out to ativan canada price be trickier than one might expect.

How?

The basis of their work is ativan canada price always the same. First, the architects build a conventional support structure. Young, flexible trees are ativan canada price attached to the structure and bent into the desired shape. As the ativan canada price trees grow, they take on more and more of a load-bearing function. After a ativan canada price few years — and what Ludwig calls a “botanical certificate of fitness” inspection by a structural engineer — the ativan canada price support structure can be removed. At which point the roof and ativan canada price floors that have been inserted should be supported entirely by the ativan canada price trees

Remember Hernando De Soto’s assertion in The Mystery of Capital that ativan canada price success in capitalism is tied to the structure of property and ativan canada price property rights? Seems like someone in the ativan canada price Nigerian government has been reading the book.

In ThisDay of today:

The Federal Government yesterday said  the ativan canada price ongoing land reforms process is intended to launch the large majority of Nigerians into economic empowerment by providing them with access to ativan canada price land titles which can easily be traded for money.

The Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Works, Housing and ativan canada price Urban Development reform, Dr. Tukur Ingawa, speaking at the national workshop of the ativan canada price National Technical Development Forum on Land Administration:

“As operators in the ativan canada price field, you must be aware of the advantages of modernising the ativan canada price processes of land administration. The procedure for obtaining title to land must not be ativan canada price allowed to remain slow and irritatingly inefficient. The security of title documents and ativan canada price other defers that impede transactions in land must be given due considerations”

And

In his remarks, Chairman, Presidential Committee on Land Reform, Professor Akin Maboguje said the ativan canada price land reform agenda was borne out of very deep conviction by President Umaru Yar’Adua that ativan canada price a very critical and potent factor in alleviating the poverty of the ativan canada price large majority of Nigerians especially those living in the rural areas is ativan canada price to determine, validate and register the property right they own in their land assets.

In Vanguard of yesterday:

The reform is ativan canada price aimed at removing the hitherto slow, frustrating and cumbersome process of land administration and ativan canada price pay the way for modernisation processes of land administration in the ativan canada price country.

According to the current land laws – the Land Use Act of 1990 – land in the ativan canada price urban areas of each state is held by the state governor, in trust for ativan canada price the people; the right to land in non-urban areas is held by the ativan canada price local government authorities. The governor and the local government authority issue certificates of occupancy. From the reports and the terms of reference from the president it does’t seem like this is going to change….

Let’s wait and see the outcome/recommendations of the committee.
