Watching Avatar and I'm really wondering what's the diogenic reason for the Avatar program? There's a throw away line about stockholders wanting diplomacy and not just straight up bulldozing the tree, but then they just end up bulldozing the tree anyway. Years of doctors and experts and for what? Non-diogenically it so we have a straight man who can learn about the culture of the sapient species on this world. And Grace is the bleeding heart liberal stand in for the audience, but if this actually happened they'd nuke the tree, mine and leave laughing. Like look at the history of colonization, and that's with other human beings. The Na'avi aren't even human. I don't want to be like who cares, but WHO CARES? X Musk the IV can NOT give this much of a shit about blue cats.

Review of PBAT Administration by Dr kenny Odugbemi
(New Year's address)
Economic vital
Non oil, Qtr 3-N4trn(67%)
Liquidity- N2.7trn
Revenue-N10.49trn
Borrowing- N7.44trn
Recurrent expenditure-N9.92trn
Capital expenditure-N8.7trn
Budget deficit-N9.18trn
GDP-$489.8bn
GDP growth-2.2%
Debt owed by 36states 28.95%- N6.6trn
GDP per Capital-$5,884
Total debt+N87.7trn
New borrowing $1.7bn months
Out of school children >20m
National issues
Food security - this will remain elusive without proper security of life and property especially
in plateau, Taraba, Sokoto, Kaduna, Katsina, Niger etc
These are agrian state
Acquisition of 500hectares is impossible as Governor's control of land use, this implies government support will go to the North, who will export their food to earn dollars for themselves at the expense of our patrimony just like Anchor borrower fund
Power supply inefficient as grid collapse 12times
We generate 12000MGW but less than 4000MGW distribution
Capital importation has fallen, 27 states have not anything of the sort.
Fuel subsidy will resurface in 2024
President's convoy of 50 cars to attend Friday's Jummat does not show any frugality or sacrifice
Seven months of promissory notes with no concrete plan
Fighting what ever that will limit FDI - this is elusive due to lack of trust, pandemic of empty pocket of the citizens, lack of forex, Naira scarcity, our banks have no money to give customers
How do PBAT fight investment opportunities
PBAT administration must leave realm of promise to measurable action plan
PBAT just Plan to collect soon, fund sale of crude from Afrexim $2.5bn and dividend of NLNG to Europe and South Africa commence Qtr1 there by mortgaging our future foreign earnings
NASS has just increased their budget by 74% that aids passing budget of N28.7trn
Provision of forward path and means of N1.73trn,while execution is still at planning stage
NAFDAC have no capacity to monitor drug consumption patterns and stock levels
*No exit plan for multinationals
*No stock limit
*No credible alternative locally to replace their products eg Amplicux and Augmentin
*Price hike of their products
Capital expenditure performance last year: 27%
We have 50% unmotorable roads
We still owe N1trn for past showdy road construction
*We have less than N700bn Fy2024 for Federal Ministry of Work d
FDI's investment will remain elusive due to high levels of insecurity, constraints and trade restrictions
PMS prices will never go down despite coming on board
Dangote
Modular refineries
Refurbished PH refineries and others in Qtr 3 2024)2025
We only have PMS availability and not at a reasonable price
We require the following concrete plan on the following
✓Revamp our economy - informal and formal sector
✓improve border management
✓improve agriculture productivity
✓ Create platform for Federal government to State government for effective collaboration
Power generation
PMB signed $2bn with Siemen, paid N100m for OEM,
What happened to this since PBAT promised to accept assets and liability of past administration
Current contract agreement with Siemens is this continuity or new contract there is certainty it will be the same of same
Conclusion
PBAT to influence minimal dollarisation, emphasis must be on improving local productivity for exports to reduce pressure on the dollar just like current local refining of petroleum
Closing inequality will remain elusive if we do not restructure, recalibrate, reposition, and measure output with World-class metric benchmarked
We now need community police to curd unabated terrorist action
Executive, judiciary now fully incentivised: Legislatures need to stop their financial wrecklessness
States to sign into law the deregulation of power act across the states
Ensure safety of life and property, provide credit facilities to small scale Nano-entrepreneurship to improve creation of jobs
SME's must be fully incentivised to improve on our GDP on our journey to $1trn economy Fy2026
Fy 2024 remain a deceit as to why there is no concrete plan, it is only promissory
Secondly harmonizing cooperation and collaboration of States which shows high insolvency and lack of depth in internally generated revenue
There is no proof of efficiency or accountability around budget provision during implementation where we allocated
*39% for capital expenditure,
*N100bn for school feeling
We do not emphasize climate adaptation and mitigation
We do not have robust budget ecological fund to resolve erosion in sangbana in Venue
It is highly discerning that PBAT did not make mention of 195 killed in Plateau this is highly discouraging

• I bring a lot of industry experience • I know how to ship software • I can work at all levels of the Software Development Lifecycle • I’ll do the work people don’t care to do • I’ll get down in the mud to get things accomplished • I’m not the best developer in the room, ever • I love mentoring younger developers • I’m collaborative • I’m empathetic • I don’t give up • I tell random stories, like the one you’re reading
That is a really good question. My answer is, I don’t know. My amazing wife — whose put up with me for over 36 years — would say something like ”Because you’re smart and know what you’re doing.” She’s always been my biggest supporter and I love her dearly for it. Anywho, I’ve always been my biggest critic and I can get down on myself, especially as I’ve aged.
After a failed attempt to run my own consulting company in 2014 I was really down and found it difficult to pull myself out of the funk that followed. Agrian saved me and I’m forever grateful for that and will never forget.
Moving forward to getting my gig here at WillowTree I was absolutely thrilled to make it through the interview process. I am a horrible interview. Sure, I do fine with the basic stuff; interacting with the interviewers, talking about general software development things, but the white boarding sessions are MURDER for me. There no other way to put it, I suck at them. They’re nerve wracking. I’m a slow coder, always have been, so that is an instant strike against me. I’m pragmatic and iterate on code until I’m happy with it. That often means I will chose an easier implementation that doesn’t go right to the best algorithm, but it written in a way that would allow for that later, perhaps during code review, perhaps in the next release. Maybe never if the code is easy to read, maintain, and is performant. Remember, premature optimization is not a good thing.
I can point to my feed reader Stream as an example of how I work. It took me two years to complete the first release of it and it’s a very bare bones app. As one reviewer said of it:
Very basic, unintuitive app, lika an experiment of a beginner developer
At first I was devastated by that. After some time to think on it and some encouragement from friend I came to realize it was a compliment in some regards. I’d made the app ”Very basic.” Yes, that was my intent from the beginning. I can fix the unintuitive bit and I believe I know what they’re talking about.
I’ve worked on and succeeded at developing large scale software projects. Two I can think of right off the top of my head are Visio, I was the 19th employee there, and worked on the project in various capacities for over 10 years. The second was Pelco where day one I was put on the embedded Linux version of our video decoding and viewing software. I was only there for five years, the first time, but feel like I accomplished a lot during my tenure.
Those were my heydays. I wrote a lot of C++ code on top of the Windows API and at Pelco the C++ code was shared between Windows and Linux. We had some really amazing devs there who I helped build a video decoding and encoding pipeline and base class framework for Windows and Linux. Those were good times.
But time marches on and so did my thirst for knowledge. At the end of 2008 I sat down to learn Xcode, Objective-C, and Cocoa/UIKit so I could become a mobile developer. After much frustration I shipped my first iOS app in mid-June of 2009 and it was approved on July 4th. It was a great day.
Since then I’ve learned Swift and various frameworks and as of this writing I’m just starting to dip into SwiftUI (worst technology name ever.) I may even have some Roku in my future, which I welcome! Yes, the one constant in Software Development is change. Embrace it!

Sclereids are reduced form of sclerenchyma cells with highly thickened, lignified cellular walls that form small bundles of durable layers of tissue in most of the plants. Although these are variable in shape , the cells are generally isodiametric, forked or branched. These are typically found in the epidermis, ground tissue and vascular tissue. The presence of numerous sclereids form the cores of guava, pear and guava gritty. . . . #agriculture #agriculturestudent #agricultureglobal #agrian #horticulture #india #indianagriculture #farmingindia #farmlife #farmer #farmers #agronomy #pathology #entomology #forestry #plant_world #biodiversity #botany #nature #naturalphotography #fruits #food #production #harvest #nutri #agventure007 #icar (at IIHR) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEwAY52nJxl/?igshid=1g2kmwsjwvfgj
