⁣Academic Writing 2 Creating a Research Space

⁣This Week in Africa,' is a collaborative effort between Authentic African and African Stream, where we break down the week's breaking news and its impact on Pan-Africanism and Africa's independence.

Join us as we delve into the latest developments regarding the US military presence in Africa.

Chad’s Air Force Chief of Staff has issued a significant directive ordering the Pentagon to halt its operations at the Adji Kossei Air Base near N’Djamena, citing insufficient justification for the presence of US soldiers and lack of documentation on support for logistics and personnel.

Chad has even threatened to cancel the Status of Forces Agreement regulating US military operations in the country. While the US State Department insists that Chad has not requested the departure of US forces, observers note the growing trend of African nations asserting sovereignty and reevaluating their security cooperation with Western powers, aligning with nations like Russia.

Stay tuned as Joe Hotagua from Authentic African and Inem Richardson from African Stream, cover the latest from across Africa

Economists use exponential functions to model economic growth. The human population is presently growing exponentially. However, any exponential growth that continues indefinitely would eventually expand faster than the speed of light, in direct violation of the known laws of physics.

Bruce Schneier, American cryptographer, computer security and privacy specialist, will be coming to Google to talk about his new book:

"Data and Goliath: The Hidden Battles to Collect Your Data and Control Your World"

"You are under surveillance right now.

"Your cell phone provider tracks your location and knows who’s with you. Your online and in-store purchasing patterns are recorded, and reveal if you're unemployed, sick, or pregnant. Your e-mails and texts expose your intimate and casual friends. Google knows what you’re thinking because it saves your private searches. Facebook can determine your sexual orientation without you ever mentioning it.

"The powers that surveil us do more than simply store this information. Corporations use surveillance to manipulate not only the news articles and advertisements we each see, but also the prices we’re offered. Governments use surveillance to discriminate, censor, chill free speech, and put people in danger worldwide. And both sides share this information with each other or, even worse, lose it to cybercriminals in huge data breaches.

"Much of this is voluntary: we cooperate with corporate surveillance because it promises us convenience, and we submit to government surveillance because it promises us protection. The result is a mass surveillance society of our own making. But have we given up more than we’ve gained? In Data and Goliath, security expert Bruce Schneier offers another path, one that values both security and privacy. He shows us exactly what we can do to reform our government surveillance programs and shake up surveillance-based business models, while also providing tips for you to protect your privacy every day. You'll never look at your phone, your computer, your credit cards, or even your car in the same way again." (W.W. Norton & Co., Inc)

When I found this recording it was on a cassette tape and I digitized it from there. During the digitization process with old cassettes, it's not uncommon for the tape to run a bit fast or slow and lead to some speed and pitch distortion. Sometimes, this can be alleviated by altering the speed on Youtube.
