Presidente da República anuncia transferência de Novas Centralidades

O Presidente da República, José Eduardo dos Santos, anunciou segunda-feira, dia 27 de Setembro, a transferência das Novas Centralidades do Kilamba Kiaxi, Zango e Cacuaco, em Luanda, do Gabinete de Reconstrução Nacional (GNR) para a emprensa Sonangol Imobiliária.
O Chefe do Executivo, que falava durante uma visita à Nova Centralidade do Kilamba Kiaxi, informou que a Imobiliária da multinacional angolana vai cuidar de todas as matérias relacionadas com o desenvolvimento do projecto e com a venda dos espaços e edificios das Centralidades projectadas em Cabinda, Kuando-Kubango e Dundo.
Essa decisão, explicou, insere-se num “conjunto de medidas que têm a ver com a transferência de todas as responsabilidades” que cabiam ao Gabinete de Reconstruçao Nacional, no quadro da execução de vários projectos do Estado referentes à reabilitação de infra-estruturas e edificação de Novas Centralidades.
José Eduardo dos Santos anunciou, igualmente, a transferência do Gabinete de Reconstrução Nacional para outras entidades que vão desenvolver projectos de construção de infra-estruturas rodoviárias, ferroviárias e de reabilitaçao de infra-estruturas sociais.
Reconheceu que o Gabinete de Reconstrução Nacional desempenhou um papel central e fundamental no quadro da reconstrução do país, relançou projectos de reabilitaçao dos caminhos-de-ferro, actualmente em fase bastante adiantada, e “cuidou da reabilitaçao e construção de vias rodoviárias estratégicas” nacionais.
A Sonangol fica igualmente com a responsabilidade da Zona Económica Especial (ZEE) de Luanda-Bengo. Para este projecto, o Presidente da República defendeu uma “articulaçao com a Centralidade do Kilamba Kiaxi e disse esperar que, das cerca de 70 unidadades fabris instaladas na ZEE, pelo menos 14 mil pessoas venham a conseguir postos de trabalho.
O desejo do Chefe do Executivo é que a Nova Centralidade do Kilamba Kiaxi seja “um modelo” com os serviços necessários para que seja útil ao desenvolvimento do país, com espaços administrativos e sociais condignos.
José Eduardo dos Santos esclareceu que o Estado vai recorrer a especialistas estrangeiros para assessorar quadros angolanos na “concepção de um modelo de gestão e organização” daquela Centralidade, para se evitar os problemas que Luanda vive actualmente.

    Is WordPress the Top Blogging Platform?

    Posted: 20 Jan 2009 12:00 AM PST

    I think for quite awhile now the self-hosted version of WordPress has been considered by most to be the dominant blogging platform, but up until recently it was purely speculation.

    Last Friday, Royal Pingdom did some research and published the top blogging platforms based upon the Technorati Top 100 list.  As you’d expect, WordPress took first place with 27 of the Top 100 blogs (5 more were hosted on WordPress.com).   Of the self-hosted blogs, Movable Type is in second place with 12 blogs.

    For your reference, here are the 27 WordPress blogs (links are included on the original post):

    • Perez Hilton
    • Problogger
    • Chris Brogan
    • Zen Habits
    • Copyblogger
    • Think Progress
    • VentureBeat
    • SlashFilm
    • Global Voices Online
    • The Caucus Blog - NYTimes
    • Bits Blog - NYTimes
    • Freakonomics - NYTimes
    • Pajamas Media
    • Just Jared
    • Smitten Kitchen
    • Hot Air
    • Neatorama
    • TechCrunch
    • Smashing Magazine
    • Washington Wire - WSJ
    • Michelle Malkin
    • Daily Blog Tips
    • Yanko Design
    • Mashable
    • Roy Tanck's weblog
    • CrunchGear
    • Delicious:days

    It is nice to see the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) and New York Times (NY Times) both listed here.  It would be interesting if this study is done every year to see trends.   I would imagine WordPress will be over 50% of the Technorati Top 100 list within a few years as some of those blogs switch away from Typepad, move their WordPress.com blog to self-hosted, etc.
