Rapidly evolving technology offers Africa the potential to accelerate development significantly. The ubiquitous presence of mobile phones has radically changed the landscape for financial sector development, reaching segments of the population who have never had access to financial services. The same platforms are now opening up business opportunities that didn’t exist before. CEO Keller Rinaudo of Zipline will talk about the dramatic impact that his company has had on the health sector in Rwanda through the drone-based delivery of vital medical supplies. Moderated by Clapperton Mavhunga, Associate Professor of Science, Technology, and Society at MIT, this seminar will discuss the opportunities that technology offers governments to boost the delivery of public services, and how the African private sector can leverage technology to create jobs.

In Basoko I again stayed in the Procure. It gave me the chance to attend the joyful Mass in BasokoÂ’s outsized church, which bears a curious resemblance to Notre Dame in Paris. Over dinner I had the very good fortune to speak with the three charming and dedicated priests working there. They were led by Father Marc whose tales of village life bore a resemblance to Don Camillo. We talked over how African theology differs from Liberation theology, the rise of the evangelist churches in Congo, squabbles with the local authorities and the challenges of keeping a football pitch green.

Tim Stall presents ALM: Empowering Teams with Automation and Build Servers
ALM tooling: Empowering teams with build servers and metrics
Everyone knows that automated builds are a good thing, but many teams don't leverage them fully because it's hard to get started. Tim will go over practical techniques and concepts for automating builds with TFS and MSbuild. Once you have an automated build, there are dozens of steps you can hook into it, such as metrics. Tim will walk through several core metrics, including line count, code churn, duplication, complexity, and test code coverage, as well as the concepts and pitfalls for adopting these within a team.

ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. -- Three Chilean Army officers visited the U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command Sept. 24 to 26 to learn about its science and technology capabilities for potential collaboration between the countries.
The Chilean officers, Brig. Gen. Ricardo Martinez Menanteau, Col. Juan Guerra Bazaes and Col. Luis Araya Cano, toured RDECOM's three research and engineering centers at APG -- the Army Research Laboratory; Communications-Electronics Research, Development and Engineering Center; and Edgewood Chemical Biological Center.

I took this at the Child Development Center at Grossmont College. They have developed into a Reggio Emilia center. I loved it. I really like how they used natural items through out the classrooms and I liked how they displayed the art work. They had really neat 3-D art projects displayed.
The Taveta weaver (Ploceus castaneiceps) is a striking bird species native to East Africa, particularly found in areas of southern Kenya and northern Tanzania. It is known for its vibrant chestnut-colored head and yellow body, with males displaying more vivid plumage during the breeding season to attract mates. This social species is often seen in large flocks, building intricate, hanging nests in trees, and primarily feeds on seeds and insects, typically in grasslands and savanna habitats.

The Compass Point development around Saunders Ness Road and taking in Mariners Mews and Sextant Avenue was built in the mid-80s forming a quiet, neat upmarket estate on the Isle of Dogs.
As part of the development, two tall blocks of flats are abutted by full height cylindrical towers, framing and echoing the view of silos across the Thames and acting as a small reminder of the estate's industrial past.
Architect Sir Jeremy Dixon's Georgian-inspired designs were built on Dudgeon's Wharf, reclaimed after the closure of the docks.
At the end of Sextant Avenue, a memorial remembers the old Wharf - not for its years of hard labour in the service of heavy industry - but for a reason more poignant and tragic.
Forty years ago the world was looking skywards for news of Nasa's audicious mission to take Buzz Aldrin, Neil Armstrong and Mike Collins to the moon.
On July 17, a day after Apollo 11 shot into the skies atop a cone of fire, another explosion took the lives of five fireman, the biggest loss of life suffered by the London Fire Brigade in peace time.
Dudgeon's was a ship building firm in the 1800s and was one of a cluster that prospered on the island - including names such as Ash, Stewart's and Samuda's. At its height, in the early 1860s, it is estimated that the firms on the Isle of Dogs employed up to 15,000 men and boys in the shipyards and engineering firms.
The most iconic of the ships built at these docks was Isambard Kingdom Brunel's SS Great Eastern, the largest ship ever built at the time of her launch in 1858.
But the Great Eastern was a last hurrah for ship building on the Thames. The rivers of the North were more efficient and labour and materials were cheaper and in double-quick time large firms of the Thames went bankrupt and tens of thousands were out of a job.
People starved, shipyards became wastelands and revival would take many long painful years.
Some shipbuilding survived by specialising - Yarrow built steam-powered gunboats while other firms turned to ship repair. Shipbuilding skills evolved. Workers produced a diverse range of goods including parts for major civil engineering projects - bridges and gas holders - as well as boilers, engine parts, tanks, propellers and wire rope. Other skills were cannabilised into new industries - sacks and tarpaulins, woodworking and paint, varnishes and chemicals.
Industry survived one way and another for another 100 years of so until the docks and their associated works began disappearing in the 1960s.
The arrival of containers - which London couldn't handle - in the late 60s finally rendered the docklands obsolete.
By the time of the 1969 tragedy, the wharf was a redundant "tank farm" with an array of a hundred or so containers for storing oils and spirit, some up to 200,000 gallons in size. However, these tanks were destined to go as part of the regeneration of the land and demolition contractors had received advice on how to take apart these structures safely.
The demolition was rife with danger and difficulties and firefighters had frequently attended the site after sparks from cutting gear ignited small fires.
Less than two weeks before the fatal explosion, 40 men with eight pumps had tackled a fire on waste oil in a derelict tank and now another call arrived at Millwall Fire Station at 11.21am alerting the emergency services to another fire.
Two appliances were sent from Millwall in F Division and another from Brunswick Road. A foam tender from East Ham was sent later along with a fireboat from Greenwich.
Station Officer Innard, believing the fire to be out when he arrived, decided to put a curtain of water into the open top manhole of Tank 97.
Four other officers joined him on top of the tank to feed in the water. Later reports concluded that this pull of water drew air into the tank, mixing with the flammable vapours.
SO Innard then decided to ensure there was no further fire by opening the bottom manhole. Unable to find a spanner to undo the nuts, it was suggested they should be burned off.
As soon as a workman applied the cutting flame of his torch to the first nut, the vapours inside the tank ignited immediately, blowing the roof off the tank, together with the five firefighters and a work man.
The explosion happened at 11.52. Three appliances were sent from Bethnal Green and Bow. Their role was to collect the bodies.
Remembering the tragedy on a brigade forum, one ex-firefighter wrote: "I had been in the job for seven years when this happened and it really shook us. As you say 'Never forgotten' especially from us guys who could have been involved. Rest easy, mates."
