The Growing Importance of Institutional Investors in Transition Economies
Banks across the globe are facing increasing capital constraints, resulting in shifting an emphasis on certain activities and a reduced appetite for long-term lending to the corporate and infrastructure sectors.
As the non-banking financial sector continues to expand, this discussion focused on the growing importance of institutional investors in the development of capital markets in transition economies. Investors such as pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, insurance companies and asset managers have the ability to exert a significant influence on capital flows in the EBRD’s region.
This panel also explored the challenges and opportunities faced by the institutional investment community and how these investors can mobilise funds in support of economic development.

Technological developments in the area of AI take place primarily in the civil domain. Any discussion of this topic should seek to avoid compartmentalisation, instead aiming for a broad multilateral and multi-stakeholder approach that includes both the public and the private domains.
With this in mind, the summit will bring together high-level representatives of government bodies, civil society organisations, knowledge institutions and the private sector in order to discuss the key opportunities, challenges and risks associated with military applications of AI.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (March 8, 2016) – Gov.

The Park was initially developed as part of the Pery Square development in the Newtown Pery area of central Limerick. This development commenced in 1835 and the associated park was a key-holders only park. The intended plan was to surround the park with housing for the more affluent members of society. Pery Square was intended to be a complete Georgian square with the Georgian terraces enclosing a central park, similar in layout to Merrion Square or Mountjoy Square in Dublin, however more modest in scale. Ireland's Georgian economy began to decline with the onset of the Great Irish Famine and only one terrace of the square was ever completed funds for the project ran out before this could be completed. The park was officially opened in 1877, it was given to the People of Limerick in honour of Richard Russell, a prominent local businessman. It was the then Earl of Limerick in the 1870s who granted a 500 year lease of Pery Square and the surrounding grounds to the corporation under certain conditions. These included an agreement that no political or religious meetings were allowed to be held in the park and bands were not to play there on a Sunday. The plots of land that were earmarked for the development of the Georgian Square were eventually incorporated into the park and extended it further north to what is now Mallow Street, eastwards towards Boherbuoy Road & southwards towards St. Joseph Street.

Teodoro Alonso presents "Using Apache Cordova (Phonegap) for cross platform mobile apps" at the Mobile Software Development Community (Mobile SDC) in Oakbrook Mall at the Microsoft Store
www.meetup.com/SoftDev/events/52749512/
Teodoro Alonso is a Technical Architect at Model Metrics a Salesforce.com company.
Meeting sponsored by Salesforce.com
Apache Cordova (previously known as Phonegap) has emerged as one of the most important hybrid (native-html/javascript) cross platform mobile application development environment. The goal of this meetup is to present the basic architecture of Cordova/Phonegap in iOS and demonstrate its capabilities by creating a simple application in HTML/Javascript and then deploy it to a mobile device as a native application. We will also discuss the resources available to learn how to develop applications in Cordova/Phonegap. If time permits, we will review a simple Cordova/Phonegap plugin that I developed to extract information from an iTunes library.

Wed. 13 September2017, NYC - Opening day of UNDP's exhibition "Survivors" at Photoville in NYC under the Brooklyn Bridge. STORIES OF SURVIVORS OF VIOLENT EXTREMISM IN AFRICA is a UNDP project featuring photographs and stories documented in 2016 across six African countries that have been directly affected by violent extremism – Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Côte d’Ivoire, Nigeria, Somalia and Uganda.The photo essay was shot by the renowned female photographer, Malin Fezehai.
To see more: survivors-of-extremism.undp.org/en?_ga=2.201035052.340749...
Between 2011 and 2016, more than 33,300 Africans lost their lives to violent extremism. The growth of violent extremism has set in motion a dramatic reversal of development gains in Africa, and is also threatening to stunt prospects of development for years to come. Africa bears the brunt of the impact of terrorism in lives lost, economies ruined and relationships fractured. Extremists target public spaces such as markets and bus stations, forcing people to make a choice between risking death by going to work, or risking the very survival of their families.
In response, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Africa has developed a strategy to prevent and respond to violent extremism through a development lens.
In the photo exhibition, “Stories of Survivors,” the UNDP and photographer Malin Fezehai seek to shed light on and amplify the voices of those who often suffer in silence. Theirs are stories of resilience, perseverance and the triumph of humanity, as they rebuild their lives again. The survivors’ diverse religious, ethnic and national backgrounds highlight that violent extremism is a shared burden, and one that humanity, as a whole, must respond to.
