The DRC Seed Sector
A Quarter-Billion Dollar Industry? The DRC Seed Sector BRIEF DESCRIPTION: Compelling investment opportunities exist for seed companies and seed start-ups in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). This document outlines the market potential and consumer demand trends in the DRC and highlights the high potential of seed production in the country. 1 Executive Summary Compelling investment opportunities exist for seed companies and seed start-ups in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). This document outlines the market potential and consumer demand trends in the DRC and highlights the high potential of seed production in the country. The DRC is the second largest country in Africa with over 80 million hectares of agricultural land, of which 4 to 7 million hectares are irrigable. Average rainfall varies between 800 mm and 1,800 mm per annum. Bimodal and extended unimodal rainfall patterns allow for two agricultural seasons in approximately 75% of the country. Average relative humidity ranges from 45% to 90% depending on the time of year and location. The market potential for maize, rice and bean seed in the DRC is estimated at $191 million per annum, of which a mere 3% has been exploited. Maize seed sells at $3.1 per kilogramme of hybrid seed and $1.6 per kilogramme of OPV seed, a higher price than in Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda and Zambia. Seed-to-grain ratios are comparable with regional benchmarks at 5.5:1 for hybrid maize seed and 5.0:1 for OPV maize seed. The DRC is defined by four relatively distinct sales zones, which broadly coincide with the country’s four principal climate zones.

The Republic of Congo (Brazzaville) is a surprising central African gem with seemingly endless pristine tropical forest and fingers of moist savannah covering its interior. Odzala-Kokoua National Park, in the Congo's remote north, is one of Africa's oldest national parks, having been proclaimed by the French administration in 1935. It covers some 13 600 square kilometres (1 360 million hectares) of pristine rainforest and is an integral part of both the Congo Basin and the TRIDOM Transfrontier Park overlapping Gabon, Congo and Central African Republic. The Odzala experience is undertaken from three intimate, sensitively constructed camps that leave as light a footprint as possible and blend into this remote forest environment: Lango Camp on the edge of the savannah, Mboko Camp with access to the Lekoli and Mambili Rivers, and Ngaga Camp in the heart of a marantaceae forest, where you will have excellent chances of viewing Western Lowlands Gorilla.

Global Suicide Rates and Climatic Temperature
SocArXiv Preprint: May 25, 2020 Global Suicide Rates and Climatic Temperature Yusuke Arima1* [email protected] Hideki Kikumoto2 [email protected] ABSTRACT Global suicide rates vary by country1, yet the cause of this variability has not yet been explained satisfactorily2,3. In this study, we analyzed averaged suicide rates4 and annual mean temperature in the early 21st century for 183 countries worldwide, and our results suggest that suicide rates vary with climatic temperature. The lowest suicide rates were found for countries with annual mean temperatures of approximately 20 °C. The correlation suicide rate and temperature is much stronger at lower temperatures than at higher temperatures. In the countries with higher temperature, high suicide rates appear with its temperature over about 25 °C. We also investigated the variation in suicide rates with climate based on the Köppen–Geiger climate classification5, and found suicide rates to be low in countries in dry zones regardless of annual mean temperature. Moreover, there were distinct trends in the suicide rates in island countries. Considering these complicating factors, a clear relationship between suicide rates and temperature is evident, for both hot and cold climate zones, in our dataset. Finally, low suicide rates are typically found in countries with annual mean temperatures within the established human thermal comfort range. This suggests that climatic temperature may affect suicide rates globally by effecting either hot or cold thermal stress on the human body. KEYWORDS Suicide rate, Climatic temperature, Human thermal comfort, Köppen–Geiger climate classification Affiliation: 1 Department of Architecture, Polytechnic University of Japan, Tokyo, Japan.

Panoptic Urbanism: Techniques of State Power and Pacification in Colonial Algiers Elena Becerril Salas
Panoptic Urbanism: Techniques of State power and Pacification in Colonial Algiers Elena Becerril Salas The 1958 Plan de Constantine and Mayor Chevallier’s 1954 “Battle for Housing” initiative for colonial Algiers embraced “welfare colonialism” as a vital instrument to the pacification of Algerian unrest caused by the rise of unemployment, informal settlements and anti-colonial resistance. The rationalization of modernity and order through architectural design epitomize two dominant state mechanisms persistently utilized for social ordering. This papers examines how colonial France sought to legitimize and retain state control of Algiers through the ‘the rhetoric of progress’ in addition to panoptic design during the 1930s-1950s. In 1840, General Marshal Thomas Bugeaud of France was left with the task of pacifying the Algerian insurrection led by Abdel Kader’s Berber and the Arab tribal army. General Bugeaud begins to seize control of Algerian insurgents by the utilization of rapid mobile task forces assigned to murder civilians, decimate villages and seize Algerian territorial land (Weizman, 2006). Colonial French rule over Algeria during the late 1800s was characterized by the destruction of ‘mosques, architectural patrimony and historical buildings within the lower medina area’ (Djiar 172, 2009). The 1930s defined a new phase in colonial French rule within Algeria. Pacification methods that emphasized benevolent cultural assimilation and ‘progressive’ urbanism replaced the brutal French military initiatives of the 1840s. This essay traces the history of French imperial rhetoric and colonial housing reform throughout the 1930s and 1950s within three sections, The first section examines the ideological impact the 1931 International Conference of Colonial Urbanism and the 1944 Brazzaville Conference had on colonial reform and ideology.
