Africa Arab Agro Investment Summit 25 27 May 2009AFRIKASOURCES
Africa has a high potential in order to help fight the global food crisis. Many African countries comprise arable land and climate conditions favourable for growing agricultural products.
Furthermore, approximately two third of the continent’s population is employed in the agriculture sector. Although conditions are in favour of high rates of food production Africa is still the biggest receiver of International Food Aid.
The article discusses an impending climactic moment. It builds suspense by not providing any context around what exactly this "final moment" entails. In just a few words, it hints at an unknown but potentially dramatic conclusion to some unspecified event or situation.
El documento discute varios temas relacionados con la belleza femenina y los estereotipos de género. Señala que la mayoría de las mujeres no cumplen con los estándares irrealistas promovidos por los medios, y que la verdadera belleza emana del alma y el espíritu, no de atributos físicos. También advierte sobre los peligros de los trastornos alimenticios y la baja autoestima causados por una excesiva preocupación por la apariencia.
O documento discute a função da dor e da sabedoria da lei de Deus. Afirma que a dor existe para que as lições sejam aprendidas e para o progresso, e que a lei de Deus trata a todos, ricos e pobres, de forma justa. Conclui que a evolução através da dor e do esforço é o caminho para a salvação.
In the last year or so things changed drastically. Everybody uses an iPhone6, is connected 24/7 at high-speed without data caps, is healthy, has shiny teeth and loves spending money on your products.

There is a web people want and there is one that people use. We should start thinking about upgrading the one people use and stop chasing our own tail trying to mimick other environments.
The document displays a league table with 12 teams ranked by their points total. Amilly J3S leads the table with 42 points from 13 games played, having won 8 and drawn 5. In second is Gien AS with 38 points from 13 games, having won 7, drawn 4 and lost 2. Dreux FC 2 sits third with 34 points from 11 games, having won 6, drawn 5 and lost none.

Dynamiques des investissements dans les pays riverains de la Méditerranée - I...AFRIKASOURCES
Auteur: Martin FLEURY, Jean-Philippe PAYET (Cabinet R.M.D.A pour IPEMED)
Un nouveau paradigme se met en place en s’appuyant sur les principaux ressorts du Sud que sont la main d’œuvre qualifiée et hautement qualifiée, la présence de partenaires industriels bien installés dans leurs marchés, une base infrastructurelle solide qui continue à se moderniser, l’accès à des marchés émergents, en Méditerranée et au-delà, une jeunesse enthousiaste et des régimes politiques en transition qui sont tenus d’ériger l’économie en priorité. Dès lors, il ne s’agit plus de conserver au Nord les activités nécessitant une main d’œuvre qualifiée et de délocaliser au Sud les activités nécessitant une main d’œuvre abondante et bon marché, mais d’associer la main d’œuvre qualifiée du Sud, moins onéreuse que celle du Nord, aux activités à forte valeur ajoutée. Il ne s’agit pas non plus de remplacer les emplois qualifiés du Nord par des emplois qualifiés au Sud, mais d’intégrer des partenaires ou des segments localisés au Sud dans un projet commun de croissance sur le marché européen (500 millions de personnes) et sur le vaste marché africain émergent (2 milliards de personnes en 2050).

This document is a Q&A about recent revelations of US government surveillance programs. It explains that the NSA has been collecting phone record metadata on millions of Americans under the Patriot Act since 2006 and information on foreigners from major tech companies through the PRISM program since 2007. These programs were authorized by secret courts but not revealed until leaks in 2013. While the government claims the goal is counterterrorism, critics argue it amounts to unprecedented domestic spying and the public deserves more transparency about surveillance of citizens.

An Ecosystems Approach to Water and Food SecurityAFRIKASOURCES
Recognising healthy ecosystems as the basis for sustainable water resources and stable food security can help produce more food from each unit of agricultural land, improve resilience to climate change and provide economic benefits for poor communities, according to a new report from the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the International Water Management Institute (IWMI), in partnership with 19 other organizations.
More: http://unep.org/newscentre/Default.aspx?DocumentID=2649&ArticleID=8834&l=en
The document discusses regional cooperation and integration in Africa dating back to the colonial era. It identifies four phases of regional integration:
1) During the colonial period when some countries were governed together despite being divided.
2) Immediately after independence when African countries tried to unite, including forming the OAU.
3) In the 1990s after the collapse of the Soviet Union which ended ideological divides and saw increased globalization.
4) A current shift in political and economic power from the West to East and Latin America, seen through investments in infrastructure, manufacturing and industrial strategies within integration programs.
In Madagascar, donors have traditionally counted for almost half of the Government’s budget and have been, by far, the main source of funding in social sectors. Since the beginning of the crisis, official aid toward education, health and social protection surged, reaching almost US$260 million in 2010 against US$180 million in 2008. This increase failed nonetheless to improve significantly social indicators. Does it mean that (i) aid works but the country did not get enough of it to counterbalance the effects of the current political and economic crisis, or (ii) aid effectiveness has been limited and there is a need to improve its quality rather than its quantity?
