From Zambian Economist Wed Jun 19 2013, 00:34:00

Japan's Toyota allegedly plans to set up a mega fertiliser production plant in Zambia. According to Zambia'a Ambassador to Japan Mwelwa Chibesakunda, Toyota is keen invest in agro input production in Zambia, as part of its diversifcation programme away from its traditional car manufacturing.

About three weeks ago, officials from Toyota Japan allegedly met Mr Chibesakunda and told him that they were interested in investing in Zambia's agriculture sector by setting up the fertiliser manufacturing plant. He says the investors have already been to the Nitrogen Chemicals of Zambia (NCZ), the country's only local fertiliser producing firm in Kafue, to look at the facility which has been struggling financially.

The latest form of protest throughout Turkey is nonviolent and quiet: beginning with a single defiant man standing in Taksim Square, the method, dubbed Duran Adam, "the standing man," has spread to hundreds of men and women. After the renewed violence when Gezi Park was cleared over the weekend, the "standing" protests, quiet ad peaceable as they are, are a clear challenge to the authorities. Even the linguists at the Language Log blog have noted how duran adam has become the latest term to enter the lexicon. They had previously noted, though I had not, the arrival of the Anglo-Turkish neologism "Çapuling," adopted by Turkish protesters after Prime Minister Erdoğan referred to the demonstrators as çapulcu, "looters." Demonstrators redubbed Gezi Park as "Çapulistan."

We're learning tonight that Michael Hastings -- the 33-year-old journalist whose 2010 Rolling Stone profile of a remarkably unguarded Gen. Stanley McChrystal cost the top commander in Afghanistan his job -- died in a tragic car crash on Tuesday morning in Los Angeles. Hastings may be best known for exposing McChrystal's critical views of the Obama administration, but he also painted memorable portraits of Gen. David Petraeus and American prisoner of war Bowe Bergdahl (a blunt, aggressive, and controversial reporter, Hastings also got in the occasional sparring match with the State Department).
