Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
Return to Kuwait: The class of 1990
Chris Arsenault | 10 Oct 2010 14:29 GMT | US & Canada, Latin America, Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil
It is hard to imagine what Che Guevara, the legendary communist revolutionary, would make of Cuba's plan to lay off 500,000 state workers by 2011 as the island moves closer to a market economy.
Since his death in 1967 at the hands of US-backed forces in Bolivia, Guevara's iconic image has been used to sell everything from soda pop to cheap Chinese made t-shirts. Even symbols of socialism have great commercial value, suggesting the philosophies that motivated Guevara resonate on some level with a wide variety of people.
Given this "revolutionary" legacy, market reforms might not spell the end for Cuban socialism, which has outlasted ten US presidents since the 1959 revolution.
"Che would have understood that Cuba exists in the real world," Isaac Saney, a Marxist scholar and author of Cuba: A Revolution in Motion, told Al Jazeera. "You have to be able to live within your means and the state sector itself can no longer carry people who are not involved in productive activities."
Presently, Cuba's socialist government employs about 90 per cent of the labour force, according to John Kirk, a professor at Dalhousie University in Canada, who has worked as a translator for Aleida Guevara, Che's daughter.
"You'll often have two or three bus drivers sharing the work of driving one bus … the bottom line is that the Cuban economy is not efficient," Kirk told Al Jazeera.
Formally announced in late September, the lay offs reportedly began this week. Unemployed workers will be encouraged to get small business licenses and start work in one of 124 chosen fields - creating their own jobs managing restaurants, driving taxis, installing plumbing, grooming dogs or operating farms, Kirk said.
Margaret Thatcher in Havana?
At first glance, the massive lay offs may look like Cuba's adoption of neoliberalism, with Raul Castro, Cuba's president, taking on the role of a Latino Margaret Thatcher or Ronald Reagan – western politicians who gutted the public sector in favour of private enterprise and profit.
Kirk suggested that "the laid off people will work in three basic employment groups".
"The largest portion will keep doing what they have already been doing - [illegally running small businesses]. The underground economy in Cuba is massive. The second largest group will go into farming. They don't want to do it but there is no alternative, and the government will make growing veggies attractive. The third group will go work for foreign investors."
In an attempt to avoid the massive inequality and dislocation that often follow market reforms, Cuba has vowed to maintain its public health and education systems. These so-called "jewels" of the revolution, which don't fit into the ideology of free market capitalism, have garnered praise from the United Nations, International Monetary Fund and many other international bodies.
"Cuba demonstrates how much nations can do with the resources they have if they focus on the right priorities - health, education, and literacy," Kofi Annan, the former UN secretary general, said in 2000.
Even after market reforms come into effect, Kirk says Cuba will still "have the best statistics for infant mortality and literacy in the developing world."
These public services provided by a socialist government may, ironically, be Cuba's ticket to a successful transition towards a market economy.
"Biotechnology exports earned Cuba approximately $300m last year, and they continue growing," Kirk said. "They produce 83 per cent of their own pharmaceutical products. The drugs are cheap and they don't depend on [Western pharmaceutical] cartels."
As nations in the global South search for cheaper drugs - lifesaving products that are not priced out of the poor's reach by Western drug companies - Cuba's well educated population could stand to benefit.
But for now, tourism and nickel mining, along with remittances from Cubans living abroad, are the country's largest sources of foreign currency.
Red-tape and 'inefficiencies'
Biotechnology development and other advanced, knowledge intensive, export businesses which utilise the country's high levels of education, are hampered by a lack of investment capital, outdated machinery, and government red-tape.
"The [US] state department has already set up shop for people who want to work for 'civil society' in Cuba to build institutions to bring down the government"
John Kirk, professor Dalhousie University
Colin MacDonald, a Canadian businessman who chairs the board of directors at Clearwater Seafoods Limited, a multinational fisheries company, experienced some of these economic irritants first hand.
He visited Cuba at the government's request several years ago as a consultant to the island's lobster industry, and what he experienced could be analogous to broader economic set backs.
During processing, lobsters need to be moved from ambient to cold water tanks to keep them healthy and tasty. "The cold water tank at the Cuban operation was broken and everyone knew it. Nobody reported it, including local management, as they did not want to be the messenger with bad news," MacDonald told Al Jazeera.
"The workers continued moving the lobsters as if the cold water tanks worked, which meant they would experience high mortality" when they were shipped to overseas markets.
"The system was organised so people were disincentified to do a good job as they were paid, in money and compliments, the same no matter how well they did or did not do the job," the businessman said, underlying some of the historical critiques of socialism as an economic system.
The average government employee in Cuba earns about $20 per month, although food, accommodations and other necessities are heavily subsidised.
The China option
Some analysts believe Cuba will follow the economic trajectory set out by Deng Xiaoping, China's former leader, who proclaimed "getting rich is glorious" when he opened the country to market reforms in the 1980s. Or nominally communist Vietnam, which is experiencing high levels of economic growth due to a similar set of policies called Doi Moi or the opening.
But Isaac Saney doesn't see that happening. "Unlike [China or] Vietnam, Cuba has faced 50 years of financial and commercial blockades from the US."
The US first imposed a trade embargo in 1960, one year after Fidel Castro, Che Guevara and other revolutionaries overthrew the US-backed dictator Fulgencio Batista.
"So much hinges on the US normalising relations. That is the logical market for investment and exports," Kirk said. Despite the embargo, much of the seed money for new small business is expected to come from Cuban's living abroad, particularly in Miami.
With the fall of the Berlin Wall, it became fashionable for western intellectuals to link economic liberalisation with political freedom. But with the rise of state capitalism in single-party states like China and Vietnam, along with rapid growth in other market-orientated non-democratic countries such as the United Arab Emirates and Qatar, that interpretation does not seem correct.
Cuba remains a one party state with heavily censored media controlled by the ruling communist party. In a country with almost universal literacy and high rates of university education, Cubans deserve something better than Granma newspaper which carries "a very dry, one dimensional party line," according to Kirk.
US intervention
Some hardliners in the government fear economic openings could lead to renewed violence from the US, who backed Cuban exiles linked to the mafia in an unsuccessful attempt to invade the island in 1961 at the Bay of Pigs.
Since then, the US has tried to assassinate Fidel Castro, the former Cuban president and Raul's brother, on several occasions. An exploding cigar was reportedly one of the plans.
"The [US] state department has already set up shop for people who want to work for 'civil society' in Cuba to build institutions to bring down the government," Kirk said.
During the revolution in 1959, Delia Luisa Lopez Garcia was a student radical coordinating armed campaigns at the University of Havana, where she is now a professor of economics. Standing four feet, ten inches tall, Dr Garcia is fully trained with an AK-47 assault rifle and embodies much of the intellectual culture of socialist Cuba.
"After the end of the Cold War, it seemed as though the neoliberals won," she told Al Jazeera during a 2007 interview in Havana, Cuba's capital. Most observers in the US believed Cuban socialism would collapse along with the Soviet Union.
"Now, in many places, neoliberalism has been rejected because it was not successful," Garcia said. "Brazil kicked out the IMF [International Monetary Fund], as did Argentina… States need to take power back from companies in order to have control over economic policies."
In the wake of the 2008 economic crisis, when western governments spent hundreds of billions of dollars in public funds bailing out banks, it was Nicolas Sarkozy, France's conservative president, who proclaimed the end of "Anglo-Saxon capitalism".
"The approach in the media is that the Cuban revolution is on the skids," Kirk said. "Before you throw out the baby with the bathwater, look at what is happening in the rest of the world … look at capitalism, look at the bailouts and the recession."
As the global financial crisis holds large economies for ransom, it seems ironic that Cuba's economy breaks a long held tradition and edges closer towards the free market system.
However, with many different models of capitalism practiced throughout the world, there is nothing to prevent Cuba from defining a distinct system, appropriate to its modern history and better suited to its ideals.
Whether or not Che Guevara would support Cuba's economic changes is a matter for biographers, historians, and activists to try and decide because, in the next few years, Cubans are going to be busy cutting hair, growing crops, fixing tractors and seeking foreign investment.

Transcript of "Parasite Management for Natural and Organic Poultry: Blackhead in Turkeys - IP372"
1. A project of the National Center for Appropriate Technology 1-800-346-9140 • www.attra.ncat.orgParasite Management for Natural andOrganic Poultry: Blackhead in TurkeysBy Terrell Spencer, Blackhead disease, also called Histomoniasis, is a serious disease capable of decimating turkey flocksNCAT Agriculture and negatively affecting other poultry. Caused by the protozoan Histomonas meleagridis, BlackheadSpecialist can also have a significant economic impact on chicken production.

This time frame, cou- pled with the two to four weeks chicks spend in the brooder, allows little to no time for a broiler to contaminate the soil with cecal worm eggs. On the other hand, a hen in production for sev- eral years can seed tremendous amounts of cecal worm eggs into the soil during her lifetime.

- It might help if Rudy Giuliani actually watched the State of the Union Address before he went on television to criticize it.
- Rep. Steve King seems to think that James O'Keefe's arrest is part of some sort of left-wing plot.
- Is Orly Taitz planning on running for office?
- Sometime, when you see things like this, you wonder why people even bother trying to debate the issue of marriage equality.
- Finally, Maggie Gallagher seems to be setting her side up to play the victim should they lose the Prop 8 trial, claiming that a bunch of their witnesses withdrew out of fear of having their testimony televised.

Sunday's game between Miramar Misiones and Penarol in the Uruguay Primera Division was postponed due to security fears.
The division's bottom club were due to host Penarol, who lie sixth, but the executive board of the Uruguayan Football Association (AUF) decided that the match would not take place due to concerns over a lack of security at the ground.
Elsewhere, Juventud's meeting with Fenix was abandoned due to heavy rain, together with the match between Rentistas and River Plate.
Juventud and leaders Fenix were locked at 1-1, while the other game was goalless, and a statement on the AUF's official Twitter page said that the matches would continue on Tuesday.
Wanderers remain a point behind Fenix and River Plate after a 3-2 home win over Danubio.
Gaston Rodriguez Maeso's first-half brace put Wanderers in control.
Diego Martinones pulled one back 18 minutes from time, but Sergio Blanco restored his side's two-goal advantage four minutes later before Jonathan Alvez set up a nervy finish with six minutes to go.
Cerro climbed up to 11th place with a 2-1 win over Cerro Largo thanks to goals from Juan Ignacio Delgado and Hector Acuna.
Defensor Sporting matched that result at home against Racing, in a game that saw both teams reduced to 10 men.
The home side went in front on the stroke of half-time through Giorgian De Arrascaeta, but were dealt a blow in the 55th minute when Gaston Silva saw red.
Leandro Ezquerra equalised a minute later, yet the visitors then saw Angel Cayetano dismissed in the 68th minute and Ignacio Risso popped up with a dramatic stoppage-time winner.
Elsewhere, Liverpool beat Nacional 1-0 and the game between Sud America and El Tanque Sisley ended goalless.

What do Thomas Dunkin Sr. and SSPC's Industrial Painting Committee have in common? Both were mentors to Thomas M. Dunkin II, this year's SSPC Honorary Life Member.
The Life Member title, SSPC's highest honor, caps Dunkin's 50 years in industrial painting. He is a former member of SSPC's Board of Governors and executive committee and has held countless leadership roles in the organization. Still, it is the committee and his father to whom Dunkin gives the credit.
In a recent video interview with JPCL editor Karen Kapsanis at SSPC 2011, Dunkin & Bush's "TDII" discusses his mentors, his transition plans, his definition of success, and how his company went from being the smallest member of the Industrial Painting Committee to the largest.
Some Dunkinisms:
On His Dad: "He got my moral compass straightened out real early in life."
On Relationships: "Relationships are what will get you through the rough patches—'cause there always will be rough patches in your business."
On Success: "Always do the right thing."
On Transitions: "So many of us are in business, and we never think about how to get out, and we just grind it out. And one day, you get old and you didn't plan for succession."

Kodak ASF Photoshop Plugins
3.5 stars
around 100 (depending on the exchange rate)
Makes light of your everyday photo fixes
Too expensive and the preview window needs to be bigger
Kodak are a name to be trusted - always have been and hopefully always will be. Having fully embraced the digital revolution some years ago, the boys at Eastman have since acquired ASF - a specialist in digital photographic correction applications. These plug-ins for Photoshop (and compatible software) are the latest result.
A set of tools for correcting the most common problems within digital images, they aim to fix the flaws at the touch of a virtual button. And there's no argument from us that they do just that, and they do it very well.
But we do have some issues, namely, the price. These plugins retail at $49 each so the full set is going to set you back three figures. Are they worth it?
From a professional image editor's point of view, almost certainly. However, a pro would probably be able to correct most things using the existing tools within Photoshop itself.
Kodak's SHO plugin mirrors almost exactly the Highlights/Shadows adjustment in CS2 (in testing the default results were almost identical). The GEM software is an image noise and grain reducer and works very well, although the default setting was a little too harsh for our liking. The same could be said for the GEM Airbrush - the quick result of one snap had a rough and rugged colleague looking like a Barbie doll - in his complexion at least. The ROC plugin corrects colour and this performs very well.
All these little applications are fully customisable in their effect and the pro versions all handle 16-bit colour and often have a few extra bells and whistles.
One thing we definitely didn't like was the preview window where you see the effect of your tinkering. The interface dominates the screen but at the same time you're frustrated at not being able to see the whole image at a decent scale. You can zoom in on specific areas, sure, but we'd like to be able to resize the window to suit our needs. No biggie, but a grumble nonetheless.
The best thing about this lot is the sheer speed at which you can become proficient and I guess that's what you're paying for. Average images soon become excellent ones and could mean the difference between commercial success and total obscurity.
So if you've money to burn then these are a extremely beneficial. Otherwise it might be worth investing in a decent Photoshop book and seeing if you can achieve the same results with the existing tools. A long-winded solution, but substantially cheaper!

US Air Force launches latest GPS satellite for military navigation system in orbit
A United Launch Alliance Delta IV rocket lifts off from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station Thursday, Oct. 4, 2012. The rocket is carrying a Global Positioning System IIF-3 satellite for the U.S. Air Force.(AP Photo/ Florida Today, Craig Bailey)
The Associated Press
Published Thursday, October 4, 2012 10:55AM EDT
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - The U.S. Air Force has launched a satellite to be part of the existing navigation system for the military. It includes an improved military signal that is more resistant to signal jamming in hostile environments.
The latest Global Positioning System satellite rocketed into space Thursday from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, which is separate from the U.S. space agency's centre on the Florida coast.
The satellite was up by an unmanned Delta IV rocket.
The Air Force manages the navigation system to ensure there are at least 24 operational satellites at all times.

CES is officially starting this morning, but like a number of other companies, Corsair has decided to unveil new products slightly early. The firm has announced (PDF) a new memory kit in its Dominator line that's rated to run at speeds of up to 1250MHz. Branded TWIN2X2048-10000C5DF, the kit packs two 1GB DDR2 DIMMs rated for 1.25GHz with timings of 5-5-5-15 and voltage of 2.4V. Like Corsair's other Dominator offerings, the kit features modules with the company's DHX vertical heatsinks as well as support for Enhanced Performance Profiles. The kit is bundled with a custom-fitted Corsair Airflow fan, too. Using this fan, Corsair boasts that it was able to overclock the kit to a blazing-fast (and stable) 1.32GHz in its own labs. The TWIN2X2048-10000C5DF is scheduled to hit stores by the end of this month.
Corsair has also told us about some new flash memory products it plans to start shipping soon. Those products include 512MB and 1GB TurboFlash USB drives, which the company says are designed for Windows Vista's ReadyBoost feature. ReadyBoost allows Vista to use USB flash drives as a sort of cache in order to improve system performance. Since Vista has steeper memory requirements than Windows XP, Corsair says it will offer TurboFlash drives as an alternative to memory upgrades for users who'd rather not open up their PCs.
Corsair is also cooking up new Padlock USB drives. Those drives will be available in 2GB, 4GB, and 8GB capacities, and they will include a hardware encryption feature controlled by a numeric keypad on the USB flash drive itself. Thanks to a battery built into the drives, users will be able to unlock their data by simply entering their code on the Padlock drive itself, without requiring a connection to a PC or any custom software. And just like a bank card, if a user inputs an incorrect code a certain number of times, the drive will lock itself and won't allow further attempts. That said, Corsair will offer an optional online password retrieval service for users who might legitimately forget their key. The company plans to have Padlock drives out in stores next month.
Also in February, Corsair will launch new Flash Voyager GT and GForce USB flash drives. The Flash Voyager GTs will be speedier versions of the company's current Flash Voyager drives, while the GForce models will be rugged offerings. The GForce drives will come out in 2GB and 4GB capacities with a water-resistant rubber-and-aluminum housing. Corsair says GForce drives have already passed water resistance tests at a depth of 100m (328 feet), and that it's aiming for 200m (656 feet).

Irvine, Calif.-based Compak Asset Management has made the leap into alternatives with the launch of a commodity trading adviser.
Compak Alternatives Investments in June launched the Stock Index Option Writing Program with $2 million and has grown the product to some $9 million thanks to inflow from its asset management arm. The program, which primarily sells out-of-the-money options on the Standard & Poor's 500 and Russell 2000 indices, is up 7.11% in its first four months of trading.
"We've been trading this strategy for a few years now but we institutionalized it as a CTA this June,' said principal Javaid Ansari.
The program charges a 2.5% management fee and a 25% incentive fee. Its minimum investment requirement is $10,000.
Compak was founded in 1997 and currently manages some $750 million in total assets.

August 29, 2013
|Related: the band in Heaven, Decades Records
In the thick of a sweat-soaked, sun burnt Floridian summer, West Palm Beach's the band in Heaven have finished their debut full-length record, Caught in a Summer Swell, slated for release on Decades Records, a boutique South Florida label. They will also release the album on cassette with Cheap Miami.
On first listen it is apparent they've made a distinct departure from their previous releases, no longer hiding behind curtains of reverb and feedback. Casting aside their guttural shoegaze foundation, they instead meet us with an overall dreamy sound. Sometimes spacey, sometimes catchy, other times noisy, the band in Heaven now holds our attention with a tighter, stronger rhythm section which is then glazed over with a sheen of dreamy, delayed guitars. Male / female vocals trade off throughout the album.The lyrics aren't hidden, but nothing is on the surface.
The themes within the record have reveal a sense of maturation as well. With topics that touch on growing pains, family debt, loss of innocence, wistfulness, giving up and letting go, the listener is left with a more deep-seeded sense of both hope and loss. On the opening track, the band in Heaven references Ray Bradbury in their perfect summer tune "Dandelion Wine" with the line: "Kiss your wrist and ask no one the time / stay up late getting drunk off that Dandelion Wine," making strong declarations on the timeslessness of youth contrasted with the inevitability of aging.
Last week, the band in Heaven shared their first single "Dandelion Wine" on Brooklyn Vegan along with upcoming live dates. Now watch the following video at Spin! Directed by Jacques de Beaufort.
