The great challenge before us is to address the constraints that exclude people from full participation in the financial sector…Together; we can and must build inclusive financial sectors that help people improve their lives." Kofi Annan, 2003. The Insurance industry needs empowerment to provide relevant products for the larger low income and growing middle income earners using technology and the social media. To continue to play its role in national development by providing what we promise "financial security". The GUARANTOR 5 Paper On Internet of Things and the future of Insurance BY MRS. MONICA AMISSAH (AG. DEPUTY MANAGING DIRECTOR, TECHNICAL, GHANA RE) 1.0 DEFINITION OF INTERNET OF THINGS (IoT) The term "Internet of Things (IoT)" was coined by Kevin Ashton of Procter & Gamble, later MIT's Auto-ID Center, in 1999 and it refers to the inter-networking of physical devices, vehicles (also referred to as "connected devices" and "smart devices"), buildings, and other items embedded with electronics, software, sensors, actuators, and network connectivity which enable these objects to collect and exchange data. In 2013,Global Standards Initiative on Internet of Things (IoT-GSI) defined the IoT as "a global infrastructure for the information society, enabling advanced services by interconnecting (physical and virtual) things based on existing and evolving interoperable information and communication technologies". In simple terms, the IoT refers to the connection of devices (other than typical wares such as computers and smart phones) to the Internet. Cars, kitchen appliances and even heart monitors can all be connected through IoT and as Internet of Things grows in the next few years, more devices will join that list. IoT therefore has three (3), interdependent components which are: things with networked sensors, data stores, and analytics engines. The GUARANTOR 6 ? 4.0 ADVANTAGES & DISADVANTAGES OF IoT Home insurance companies are Some possible uses of IoT data as well as what can go wrong are as depicted sensitizing customers about the in the Table below: usefulness of having certain connected devices installed at their Uses Problems premises to prevent potential danger Product designing Malfunctions to property.

    ”Second heaven” Forestillinger om Vesten hos unge talenter ved et fotballakademi i Ghana Fredrik Ødegaard Masteroppgave ved Sosialantropologisk institutt UNIVERSITETET I OSLO Mai, 2008 2 Sammendrag Denne oppgaven omhandler unge ghanesiske fotballtalenters forestillinger om Vesten og hvordan forestillingene konstrueres i møtet med den vestlige fotballindustrien. Oppgaven er skrevet på grunnlag av sju måneders feltarbeid i Ghana, hvorav fire måneder ved et fotballakademi. Fotballakademier er blitt et viktig instrument for identifisering og trening av unge fotballspillere, og flere europeiske klubber var under feltarbeidsperioden involvert som eiere eller partnere ved akademier. Informantene ved akademiet gikk en usikker fremtid i møte hvis ikke fotballkarrieren tok av, mye på grunn av mangel på muligheter, men for spillerne og familiene deres var drømmen om å komme seg opp og frem som fotballspiller en like realistisk strategi som noen annen. Med utgangspunkt i James Carriers (1995) anvendelse av oksidentalismebegrepet forsøker denne oppgaven å vise betydningen av akademispillernes kulturmøte med representanter for den europeiske fotballindustrien og deres konstruksjon av Vesten. Oppgaven vil belyse hvilke livssituasjon spillerne levde under, og hvilke muligheter og begrensninger akademiet som handlingsrom skapte for spillerne. Ved å knytte oksidentalisme til maktbegreper vil oppgaven argumenter for at fotballspillerne i stor grad konstruerte positive og generaliserte bilder og forestillinger om Vesten som en helhet. 2 3 Forord Takk til alle som har hjulpet meg i skriveprosessen; Anne B. Leseth for god veiledning; Tove og Thorleif for konstruktive tilbakemeldinger; Bjørn Ivar for korrekturlesing; Bjørn Omar for å ha vært en raus sjef, og ikke minst, Anne og Jonas, for stor tålmodighet.

  • Gains Versus Drains: Football Academies and the Export of Highly Skilled Football Labor
    Gains Versus Drains: Football Academies and the Export of Highly Skilled Football Labor Paul Darby Reader in Sociology of Sport University of Ulster Over the last two decades, there has been a debate of increasingly acrimo- nious proportions on the consequences of what has come to be labeled as an “exodus” of Africa’s finest football talent to Europe. This debate, played out in the game’s corridors of power, in media circles, amongst academics, between politi- cians, and in both European and African courts, has often mirrored polemicizing around highly skilled African migration more generally. The emigration of the highly skilled from the Global South and its impact on development in source 265 countries has, for many decades, vexed politicians, economists, policy makers, and academics alike. In the second half of the twentieth century, heavyweight in- tellectual paradigms rooted in neoclassical and neo-Marxist perspectives vied for primacy in the migration research and policy communities. Clearly demarcated battle lines were drawn and polemical debates ensued. Migration was painted as a zero-sum game involving either gains or drains, winners or losers, a cause for optimism or pessimism. Optimists argued that capital could be captured and gains accrued by donor nations through remittances, the (assumed) return of migrants and associated brain circulation, rising wages, and transnationally minded diasporas, all of which could function as potential engines and agents of development. Pessimists depicted skilled migration as an extractive process characterized by the hemorrhaging of valuable resources abroad, underdevelop- ment, a deepening of poverty and global inequality, and damaging sociocultural impacts in sending societies.1 Paul Darby is Reader in Sociology of Sport at the University of Ulster.
