In 2005, the Government of Sudan (GOS) signed a Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) with the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement/Army (SPLM-A) which allowed for a referendum on secession for the south and Popular Consultations in the border states of Southern Kordofan and the Blue Nile on their future.
In December 2010, consultations began in Blue Nile State, resulting in approximately 70,000 submissions from citizens on whether the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) had met the aspirations of the local people. However, in 2011 further work on the Popular Consultations process was disrupted by the return to conflict in Southern Kordofan and Blue Nile States.

Sources close to FactorDaily reported that production of JioPhone has stopped as the telcos is now focusing on bringing out an Android-based phone. To recall, the JioPhone runs on KaiOS, which is a version of Firefox OS. The latest report cites lack of apps supported by KaiOS as a reason behind Jio switching over to Android.

Monument Valley (Navajo: Tsé Biiʼ Ndzisgaii, pronounced [tsʰépìːʔ ǹtsɪ̀skɑ̀ìː], meaning "valley of the rocks") is a region of the Colorado Plateau characterized by a cluster of sandstone buttes, with the largest reaching 1,000 ft (300 m) above the valley floor. The most famous butte formations are located in northeastern Arizona along the Utah–Arizona state line. The valley is considered sacred by the Navajo Nation, the Native American people within whose reservation it lies.
Monument Valley has been featured in many forms of media since the 1930s. Famed director John Ford used the location for a number of his Westerns. Film critic Keith Phipps wrote that "its five square miles [13 km2] have defined what decades of moviegoers think of when they imagine the American West".

History
Before human existence, the Park was once a lowland basin. For hundreds of millions of years, materials that eroded from the early Rock Mountains deposited layer upon layer of sediment which cemented a slow and gentle uplift, generated by ceaseless pressure from below the surface, elevating these horizontal strata quite uniformly one to three miles above sea level. What was once a basin became a plateau.
Natural forces of wind and water that eroded the land spent the last 50 million years cutting into and peeling away at the surface of the plateau. The simple wearing down of altering layers of soft and hard rock slowly revealed the natural wonders of Monument Valley today.
From the visitor center, you see the world-famous panorama of the Mitten Buttes and Merrick Butte. You can also purchase guided tours from Navajo tour operators, who take you down into the valley in Jeeps for a narrated cruise through these mythical formations. Places such as Ear of the Wind and other landmarks can only be accessed via guided tours. During the summer months, the visitor center also features Haskenneini Restaurant, which specializes in both native Navajo and American cuisines, and a film/snack/souvenir shop. There are year-round restroom facilities. One mile before the center, numerous Navajo vendors sell arts, crafts, native food, and souvenirs at roadside stands.

"In real open source you have the right to control your own destiny" - Linus Torvalds
Open Source Day Conference is one of the greatest international events devoted to open software in this part of Europe. This indicates the dynamics of interest in open technology.
Open source solutions have been gaining respect worldwide for many years, as a blend of quality, safety as well as competitive price. And so have they been gaining market in Poland, with our local companies becoming regional leaders.
Times, when open software was treated as worse but cheaper version of proprietary programs have long gone. Now the clients reach for open solutions not only for the costs factor but primarily due to better parameters, meaning more flexibility, efficiency, innovation, security – and what is more – lack of vendor lock in.
Large companies and institutions also from Poland keep migrating to open code based commercial solutions. Major banks, insurance, most of telcom businesses and growing number of public sector organizations. Representatives of these environments have met regularly for seven years on Open Source Day conference, in order to exchange their views and experience, establish strategic relationships and be up to date with the latest trends in open source solutions.
