BARAGOI: BLACK SWAN Minister calls for Sh1bn OR NEW NORMAL? WHEN I was young and the heat was at its most intense in the afternoon in Mombasa and only the sound of crows would occasionally pierce that heavy hot stillness and my mother was having her siesta, I would read and state rescue for Jetlink I consumed books because they were my lifeline to the world. Today, the world is flat and my laptop [nicknamed my ‘lovetop’ by my better half] connects me but then it was a different time, a world when we were all disconnected. The one author I always wrestled with was James Joyce whom I later learnt was the inventor of the ‘stream of conciousness’ style of storytelling and my piece today might be characterised as a little James Joycean, I admit. I start with Nassim Taleb who has written a number of very prescient books. Taleb is the author of The Black Swan [fooled by randomness] which caught the atten- tion of folks who live and breathe the financial markets. “What we call here a Black Swan is an event that is an outlier, as it lies outside the realm of regular expecta- tions, because nothing in the past can convincingly point to its possibility and it carries an extreme ‘impact’.’’ And I refer to the randomness of the fact that 41 people have died in the Gaza Strip and 48 police officers were killed in Baragoi, Samburu. Let’s set aside for a moment the share of voice that the events in the Gaza Strip are receiving which simply dwarfs the share of voice the massacre in the Samburu received by comparison. I pray that the souls of all the departed [and I include the three Israelis as well as the police officers as well as those in the Gaza Strip] rest in eternal peace. I am left wondering what on earth is going on? When did we start ranking worse than the Gaza Strip? Are these spikes and paroxysms of violence Black Swan events or are we entering a new normal? Everything starts with security and without it, we are in very deep trouble and these spikes have been GROUNDED: Jetlink Express said on Thursday it has suspended operations for lack of cash flow. increasing in frequency, in intensity and spreading geographically.

  • Prior Compliance List of Aircraft Operators Specifying the Administering Member State for Each Aircraft Operator – June 2014
    Prior compliance list of aircraft operators specifying the administering Member State for each aircraft operator – June 2014 Inclusion in the prior compliance list allows aircraft operators to know which Member State will most likely be attributed to them as their administering Member State so they can get in contact with the competent authority of that Member State to discuss the requirements and the next steps. Due to a number of reasons, and especially because a number of aircraft operators use services of management companies, some of those operators have not been identified in the latest update of the EEA- wide list of aircraft operators adopted on 5 February 2014. The present version of the prior compliance list includes those aircraft operators, which have submitted their fleet lists between December 2013 and January 2014. BELGIUM CRCO Identification no.

AICD will provide a baseline against which future improvements in infrastructure services can be measured, making it possible to monitor the results achieved from donor support. It should also provide a more solid empirical foundation for prioritizing investments and designing policy reforms in the infrastructure sectors in Africa. AICD will produce a series of reports (such as this one) that provide an overview of the status of public expenditure, investment needs, and sector performance in each of the main infrastructure sectors, including energy, information and communication technologies, irrigation, transport, and water and sanitation. The World Bank will publish a summary of AICD’s findings in spring 2008. The underlying data will be made available to the public, through an interactive Web site, allowing users to download customized data reports and perform simple simulation exercises. QuickTime™ and a TIFF (Uncompressed) decompressor are needed to see this picture. The first phase of AICD focuses on 24 countries that together account for 85 percent of the gross domestic product (GDP), population, and infrastructure aid flows of Sub-Saharan Africa. The countries are: Benin, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Cameroon, Chad, Congo (Democratic Republic of Congo), Côte d’Ivoire, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Madagascar, Malawi, Mali, Mozambique, Namibia, Niger, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, South Africa, Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia.

  • International Airline Groups in Africa Piotr Niewiadomski September
    economic and social upgrading in global production networks International airline groups in Africa Piotr Niewiadomski1* 1 University of Aberdeen, UK Email: [email protected] September 2013 Capturing the Gains 2013 Working Paper 36 ISBN: 978-1-909336-83-4 Abstract This paper contributes to the international research project ‘Capturing the Gains: Economic and Social Upgrading in Global Production Networks and Trade’. Its main aim is to analyse the operations of international airlines in Africa and assess the influence of the international aviation industry on the development of tourism in selected African states. Simultaneously, through an exploration of the different ways in which international airline groups can foster the development of the tourism sector in Africa, the paper informs the general understanding of the influence of tourism on regional development. Although in general terms the paper focuses on the whole of Africa, more detailed issues are analysed on the basis of South Africa, Kenya and Uganda. Keywords: International airline groups, the airline industry, global production networks, tourism, Africa, regional development Author Piotr Niewiadomski is Teaching Fellow at the School of Geosciences, Geography and Environment, University of Aberdeen, UK. Acknowledgements The author would like to thank Dr Michelle Christian (Duke University, Durham, NC, US, currently the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, TN, US) for providing valuable comments on the first draft of the paper and Dr Chris Gibbins (University of Aberdeen, Scotland, UK) for proofreading the paper and commenting on its structure. The research project was completed between October 2011 and May 2012 at The University of Manchester, UK. This document is an output from a project funded by the UK Department for International Development (DFID), the Sustainable Consumption Institute (SCI), the Chronic Poverty Research Centre (CPRC) and the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC).
