Schools are encouraged to </span><a href="https://www.raspberrypi.org/education/weather-station" style="font-size: x-large;">register</a><span style="font-size: large;">.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">The first 1,000 kits have been funded by a grant from <a href="https://www.oracle.com/corporate/citizenship/corp-giving/index.html">Oracle</a> Giving, which along with Oracle Academy, is part of Oracle’s philanthropic efforts, and will be provided to schools free of charge while supplies last. </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Half of the free kits have been set aside for Oracle Academy schools. In addition to building a weather station, the kits teach students to write application code that logs a range of weather data, including wind speed, direction, temperature, pressure, and humidity. Supplemental teaching materials for classroom use will be made available on the Oracle Academy website.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">The Oracle Raspberry Pi Weather Station project is targeted at students aged 11-16 years old. Students will be asked to write applications to operate their weather station and record data in a cloud-hosted Oracle database, which they can then query through SQL elements developed in collaboration with Oracle Academy. </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">They will also develop a website on Raspberry Pi to display local weather conditions that can be accessed by other participating schools. Additionally, students will be able to access a “Weather Station for Schools” microsite to blog about their experiences, interact with other participating schools around the globe, and receive online technical support.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Jane Richardson, Director, Oracle Academy EMEA, commented: “From application programming to database management, computer science skills can lead to rewarding and fulfilling careers. Our goal with the Oracle Raspberry Pi Weather Station project is not only to show students how computer science can help them measure, interrogate and understand the world better, but also to give them hands-on opportunities to develop these skills. We believe this is one of the best ways to inspire the next generation to take up the computer science roles that economies around the world need filled.”</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Eben Upton, CEO, Raspberry Pi (Trading), stated: “This ambitious project adds another string to the Raspberry Pi bow, using the Raspberry Pi to introduce children to the art of data management and SQL. The kits themselves are really exciting, containing everything you would expect from a fully-functioning weather station. We’re confident that students will find the project a very engaging way of learning new and useful skills, and that they’ll have a lot of fun in the process.”</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Colleen Cassity, Executive Director, Oracle Education Foundation, and Oracle Giving and Volunteers, commented: “It is exciting to support this global learning initiative that aims to generate awareness and interest in computer science and the natural world. The project will help to ensure that the next generation is well-prepared to lead and create value, not only in the digital economy, but also in the global community.”</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Distributed by APO (African Press Organization) on behalf of Oracle Corporation.</span></div> </div>

It also significantly enhances the customer experience for video streaming or conferencing. The new technology is about 5 times faster than the 3G technology currently available in the market.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">The 4G LTE technology is a standard for wireless communication of high-speed data. It has the capacity to efficiently transfer large amounts of data at an unparalleled speed.

The regional stock exchange for the eight countries of the West African Economic and Monetary Union has chosen the London Stock Exchange as the venue for the second round of "BRVM Investment Days"

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OzllHGuqYOg/VTvdaxqQndI/AAAAAAAAFwI/9rD_mYu7DP4/s1600/BRM.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OzllHGuqYOg/VTvdaxqQndI/AAAAAAAAFwI/9rD_mYu7DP4/s1600/BRM.jpg" width="375" /></a></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">The Bourse régionale des valeurs mobilières (BRVM) is to hold a high-level meeting at the London Stock Exchange on 28 April 2015. The conference, which will be attended, amongst others, by Ms Nialé Kaba, Côte d'Ivoire's Minister of Economy and Finance, will provide an opportunity to present the financial centre of the West African Economic and Monetary Union (UEMOA) to international, and especially British, investors. The London Stock Exchange is Europe's premier financial </span><a href="http://centre./" style="font-size: x-large;">centre.</a></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">"Following the success of the <a href="http://www.brvminvestmentdays.org/">BRVM</a> Investment Days in Paris in October 2014, the British capital was the natural choice for the second round. The London Stock Exchange is developing cooperation with African finance and constitutes a real springboard for growth for the BRVM," explains Gabriel Fal, Chairman of the BRVM's Board of Directors.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">With market capitalisation having doubled in three years – standing at 7458 billion CFA francs (around USD 13.8 billion) on 31 December 2014 – and transaction volumes growing constantly, the BRVM is becoming a destination of choice for many international investors, eager to diversify their asset portfolio while simultaneously contributing to the development of African economies. "Along with Johannesburg, Lagos, Casablanca and Nairobi, our regional exchange embodies this new frontier of finance that offers safe investments with high returns," says Edoh Kossi Amenounve, CEO of the BRVM.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">After a record 2013, which saw the BRVM 10 and BRVM Composite indices swell by 33.85% and 39.28% respectively, that growth was consolidated in 2014, as the BRVM 10 rose by 8.60% and the BRVM Composite by 11.23%. With two new entrants in recent months (Bank of Africa Senegal in December 2014 and Total Senegal in February 2015), the BRVM now has 39 listed companies. The last company to be floated on the exchange had been Bank of Africa Côte d’Ivoire back in April 2010.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">"If we add to that our inclusion in the S&P and MSCI international indices, we can see that the BRVM is now moving in a direction that is beneficial for everyone. The region's companies are raising finance, while investors are increasing the value of savings in the UEMOA zone. Lastly, more and more citizens are becoming shareholders, which is the best way for our people to take ownership of our growth drivers and means of production," says Edoh Kossi Amenounve.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">"To speed up this process, the BRVM has to attract international investors in search of emerging or pioneering financial centres. That is how we are going to deepen the market and increase its liquidity. To this end, the BRVM has brought itself into line with international standards: our market is monitored and regulated, and what is more, it is offering returns that you can't find in the North at present," explains Gabriel Fal.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">The role of the banking and finance sector in accelerating African growth, technological innovation and telecommunications as a driver of development, the rise of the middle class and the changing retail sector, and private and sovereign debt in the face of infrastructure financing challenges will be the main topics addressed at this second round of "BRVM Investment Days". Top executives from several BRVM-listed companies (BMCE Bank, a shareholder in Bank of Africa, Ecobank, Orange, a shareholder in Sonatel, Total Senegal, Palmci, SAPH, and CFAO, a shareholder in CFAO Motors Côte d’Ivoire) will be taking part in this second round of "BRVM Investment Days".</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Distribué par APO (African Press Organization) pour la Bourse régionale des valeurs mobilières (BRVM).</span></div> </div>

Le premier réseau panafricain de centres d'excellence, qui a créé son premier centre en 2003 au Cap, propose aux brillants étudiants de tout le continent des opportunités de formation et de recherche innovantes dans le domaine des sciences mathématiques.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">« Au nom de l'AIMS, je suis profondément choqué et attristé par la récente violence xénophobe à l'égard des étrangers en Afrique du Sud, » a déclaré le professeur Neil Turok, Fondateur de l'AIMS né en Afrique du Sud. « Il est clair qu'il existe des catalyseurs socio-économiques plus profonds qui ont amené l'Afrique du Sud à ce niveau. Un facteur motivant pour la fondation de l'AIMS était la résolution de ces problèmes en créant un environnement dans lequel les étudiants les plus brillants d'Afrique pouvaient devenir les innovateurs stimulant l'indépendance scientifique, éducative et économique du continent. Si nous nous concentrons sur les solutions, nous pouvons transporter non seulement l'Afrique du Sud mais également le continent vers une prospérité durable et éviter les conflits menant à des préjudices irrémédiables tels que les pertes humaines. »</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">L'AIMS a apporté son soutien au Département sud-africain des sciences et de la technologie, au sein duquel le Ministre Naledi Pandor a déclaré : « Sans l'expérience ni l'expertise de ces estimés collègues (originaires d'autres pays africains), qui ont aussi joué le rôle inestimable de mentors et de guides auprès des jeunes sud-africains, la science et la technologie ne seraient vraiment rien dans notre pays. Il ne faut pas non plus oublier que, durant leur exil d'Afrique du Sud, résultant du refus de l'accès à l'éducation par le régime de l'apartheid, de nombreux scientifiques sud-africains ont bénéficié de formation et d'enseignement dans d'autres états africains. » </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">La violence xénophobe en Afrique du Sud a explosé il y a deux semaines dans certains quartiers de Durban avant de se répandre dans les autres quartiers du pays, notamment dans le centre des affaires de Johannesburg. On rapporte que six personnes ont été tuées. Les causes de la violence ont été attribuées à divers facteurs historiques, sociaux et économiques - avec des facteurs clés tels que la pauvreté, le chômage et un faible accès à l'éducation, qui poussent les immigrés et les sud-africains les plus pauvres à se battre pour décrocher un emploi très mal rémunéré parmi ceux, peu nombreux, qui sont disponibles.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Depuis sa création, l'objectif de l'AIMS est de permettre à la jeunesse africaine de façonner l'avenir du continent grâce à une formation dans les Sciences, la Technologie, l'Ingénierie et les Maths (STIM). L'organisation, qui possède des centres en Afrique du Sud, au Ghana, au Sénégal, au Cameroun et en Tanzanie, propose des cours de maîtrise dans les sciences mathématiques et se concentre sur la formation scientifique, la recherche de pointe et l'engagement du public. « Nous croyons que nombre des facteurs de stress socio-économiques qui mènent aux conflits en Afrique sont le résultat d'un investissement insuffisant dans l'éducation et la formation des compétences, » a déclaré Thierry Zomahoun, Président et PDG de l'AIMS. « À l'AIMS, nous mettons l'accent sur le panafricanisme, grâce auquel les étudiants de toute l'Afrique travaillent ensemble 24h/24 dans un environnement professionnel axé sur les solutions appliquées au développement et aux défis mondiaux. Dans cet environnement, nos étudiants intègrent également la tolérance, qui limite toute méprise stéréotypée que les étudiants pourraient avoir les uns envers les autres et qui entretient l'amitié ainsi que la collaboration - éléments clés pour la croissance personnelle, nationale et continentale. »</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Diffusé par African Media Agency (AMA) pour African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS).</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> </div>

It’s not a question of whether new market models will be taken shape, as this is already happening around Africa and the world, but also which new business models will be pursued in the sector and what countries and regulators will do to increase access to reliable electricity supply and what existing power utilities will do to keep up with the change and alter their course.”</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">The report identifies a number of market models that could emerge such as:</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">• (Green) Command and control – markets in which governments own and operate the energy sector and mandate the adoption of (renewable) or other forms of electricity generation.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">• Ultra-distributed generation – markets in which generators have invested in distributed (renewable) generation, with investment decisions based on policy incentives and/or economic business cases.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">• Local energy systems – markets in which there is significant fragmentation of existing transmission and distribution grids and local communities demand greater control over their energy supply, or markets in which a local approach is adopted for serving remote communities.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">• Regional supergrid – markets which are pan-national and designed to transmit renewable energy over long distances, requiring large-scale (renewable) generation, interconnectors, large-scale storage and significant levels of transmission capacity.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Angeli Hoekstra further said:</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">“We don’t believe there will be a single winning market or business model. We see a range of market and business models that build on existing models or fill new service or product needs. Incumbent companies may not be as nimble or focused as some new entrants. But they have a number of potential advantages with regards to existing assets, relationships, pricing and partnering. New companies will mainly play in providing additional generation capacity, building self-sustainable local energy systems without grid connections or behind the meter solutions.”</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Alongside the evolution of current asset-based business models, the report also identifies eight new and emerging business model strategies and what capabilities companies should be building now to stay competitive in the future or to enter a new market.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Examples include:</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">• Product innovator model – we anticipate that many product innovators will seek to be active players in “behind the meter” products to customers, such as smart thermostats, energy efficiency solutions and the management of roof-top solar.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">• Partner of partners model - a ‘partner of partners’ utility will be a company that offers not only standard power products and associated services, but also a range of other energy-related services, for example the management of net metering.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">• Virtual utility model – aggregating the generation from various distributed systems and acting as the intermediary between, and with, energy markets. </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">In Africa, according to Hoekstra, governments, businesses, regulators, incumbent and new utilities, donors, investors and customers need to work together to increase access and supply of reliable electricity and embrace new market and business models to achieve this.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Distributed by APO (African Press Organization) on behalf of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC).</span></div> </div>

The first pan-African network of centres of excellence, which established its first centre in 2003 in Cape Town, provides innovative training and research opportunities in mathematical sciences to brilliant students from across the continent.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">"On behalf of AIMS, I am deeply shocked and saddened by the recent xenophobic violence against foreign nationals in South Africa." said Professor Neil Turok, Founder of AIMS, who was born in South Africa. "It is clear that there are deeper socio-economic catalysts that have brought South Africa to this point. A motivating factor for the foundation of AIMS was to address these issues by creating an environment in which Africa's brightest students can become innovators who propel scientific, education and economic self-sufficiency. If we focus on the solutions, we can move not only South Africa but the continent forward towards sustainable prosperity and avoid conflict that leads to irreparable damage such as loss of life." </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">AIMS expressed its support of the South African Department of Science and Technology's statement, in which Minister Naledi Pandor stated: "Without the experience and expertise of these esteemed colleagues (from other African countries), who also fulfil the valuable role of mentors and guides to young South Africans, science and technology in our country would be very much the poorer. Let us also not forget that during their exile from South Africa, due to the denial of access to education opportunities by the apartheid regime, many South African scientists benefited from training and education in other African states."</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">The ongoing xenophobic violence in South Africa erupted in certain parts of Durban two weeks ago, and then spread to other parts of the country, including the Johannesburg CBD. Six people are reported to have been killed. The cause of the violence has been attributed to various historical, social and economic factors- with key drivers being poverty, unemployment and poor access to education, leaving migrants and the poorest South Africans competing for scarce jobs to make a menial living. </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Since its inception, AIMS' objective has been to enable Africa's youth to shape the continent's future through Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) education. The organisation, which has centres in South Africa, Ghana, Senegal, Cameroon and Tanzania, offers Master's coursework in mathematical sciences and is focused on scientific training, cutting-edge research and public engagement. "We believe that many of the socio-economic stress factors that lead to conflict in Africa stem from insufficient investment in education and skills training," said Thierry Zomahoun, President and CEO of AIMS. "At AIMS, we embrace a spirit of pan-Africanism, where students from across Africa work together in a 24-hour live-work environment focused on applied solutions to development and global challenges. In this environment, our students also embrace tolerance, which curbs any stereotypical misconceptions the students may have about each other, and fosters friendship and collaboration- key elements for individual, national and continental growth." </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Distributed by African Media Agency on behalf of The African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS).</span></div> </div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Akizungumza na balozi mdogo wa Oman sheikh Ali Al-Rashdi ofisini kwake Migombani, Maalim Seif amesema serikali ya Mapinduzi ya Zanzibar inathamini mchango huo ambao unalenga kuwaongezea ujuzi wananchi wa Zanzibar.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Amefahamisha kuwa Serikali ya Oman imekuwa kigezo kizuri cha utoaji wa elimu kwa Zanzibar, kwani imekuwa ikitoa nafasi za masomo “scholarships’ kwa njia ya mtandao, jambo ambalo linatoa fursa sawa kwa kila mwenye sifa za kuomba nafasi hizo, na kuondokana na dhana ya kuwepo upendeleo katika upatikanaji wa fursa za elimu nchini.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span

ambayo itarahisisha maendeleo ya nchi.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:

style="font-size: large;">Amesema Oman na Zanzibar zina uhusiano wa kindugu wa muda mrefu, jambo ambalo linaifanya nchi hiyo kuendelea kuwa karibu na Zanzibar, na kutaka uhusiano huo uimarishwe

This is the first time that this event will be held on the African continent. </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Local Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) will have the opportunity to access a wealth of international knowledge and expertise and engage with industry leaders from around the world at this event, which will be managed by MCI South Africa, event and conference management specialists. </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">According to MCI South Africa, Managing Director, Rashid Toefy the INSME Annual Meeting & Forum brings together leading global experts in the field of SME innovation and technology commercialisation for mutual learning and networking. The event will focus on the role and importance of technology-driven entrepreneurship and innovation in fostering small business efficiency, competitiveness and growth. </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">"This will be a unique opportunity for South Africans to learn from some of the leading practices globally and for international practitioners to gain exposure to and learn from South African and African practices," says Toefy. </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Concurrent to the international event, MCI will also be hosting a local 2015 Forging Enterprise Conference in collaboration with various partners in the government and corporate sector such as Osiba Management, Economic Development Partnership, Department of Small Business Development, Silicon Cape Initiative and Africa.com to name a few.

One of MCI's areas of expertise is having the ability to facilitate and organise an event that encourages active engagement and participation across all event audiences. "The success of an event or conference should not be gauged on how many people attend the event but rather on how many people actively engage with the content", says Toefy. </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">"<a href="http://www.insme.org/">Through</a> hosting these events we have the ability to shape the business conversations that are taking place on the African continent and to make a meaningful impact on effecting change and advancing economic growth in key sectors", he concludes. </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Distributed by African Media Agency on behalf of Forging Enterprise.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> </div>
