 No good deed goes unpunished.  A Florida sea tow captain saved a man from a burning ship only to be shoved overboard and have his boat stolen. This shocking incident occurred near Marco Island on March 6th. On that date, a call went out regarding a burning boat. The captain of a sea tow boat heard the distress call and rushed to provide aid. He was able to quickly locate the burning boat and  discovered 40-year-old, Ryan Deiter, and his dog onboard the burning ship. Wasting no time, the captain of the sea tow boat was able to maneuver alongside the distressed boat and begin efforts to extricate Deiter and his dog from the doomed vessel.  Eventually, the sea tow captain was able to pull both Deiter and his dog onboard the tow boat. However, once Deiter was pulled to safety, he repaid a stranger's kindness with treachery.  Deiter shoved the captain from his own boat and fled the scene in the stolen boat, leaving the man who had just risked his own vessel and life...

 AU officials underline China's crucial role in boosting food security in Africa


China is playing an important role in fighting food insecurity in Africa by sharing its experience and agricultural technology innovations, African Union (AU) Commission officials have said.


They made the remarks during a recent international symposium on perennial rice at the AU headquarters in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia.


Josefa Leonel Correia Sacko, AU commissioner for agriculture, rural development, blue economy and sustainable environment, said China and Africa have been partnering in agricultural science and technology, paving the way for the adoption of advanced agricultural practices and innovations in AU members.


"The collaboration between China and Africa is not only transferring of technologies but also strengthening research and development, advancing crops genetics and productivity and enhancing the resilience of Africa's agricultural system," Sacko said.


The commissioner cited the engagement of Chinese agricultural scientists and experts in several African countries to develop and expand perennial rice cultivation, including Mali, Nigeria, Madagascar, Burundi, Kenya and Uganda.


Janet Edeme, head of the Rural Economy Division in the Department of Rural Economy and Agriculture of the AU Commission, told Xinhua that China remains a very strategic partner of Africa, supporting the AU members in priority areas.


"With the expansion of perennial rice planting, African smallholder farmers would cut off their cost of production, reduce carbon dioxide emissions and harvest very nutritious food," said Edeme, noting that the AU Commission is working to promote the adoption of perennial rice in Africa.


Currently, about 40 out of 55 AU members consume rice as a staple, which is the main source of income for more than 35 million smallholder farmers across the continent.


Perennial rice is unique in that it can grow for several years without the need for replanting. The technology was developed by Chinese agronomists, and it was selected as the "International Agricultural Innovation Technology" in 2018 by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.
