  • Smart Villages in West Africa: Accra Regional Workshop Report
    Smart Villages in West Africa: Accra regional workshop report Workshop Report 20 May 2016 ACCRA, GHANA Key words: West Africa, Energy Access, Rural Development, Off-grid energy Smart Villages We aim to provide policymakers, donors, and development agencies concerned with rural energy access with new insights on the real barriers to energy access in villages in developing countries— technological, financial and political—and how they can be overcome. We have chosen to focus on remote off-grid villages, where local solutions (home- or institution-based systems and mini-grids) are both more realistic and cheaper than national grid extension. Our concern is to ensure that energy access results in development and the creation of “smart villages” in which many of the benefits of life in modern societies are available to rural communities. www.e4sv.org | [email protected] | @e4SmartVillages CMEDT – Smart Villages Initiative, c/o Trinity College, Cambridge, CB2 1TQ Publishing © Smart Villages 2016 The Smart Villages Initiative is being funded by the Cambridge Malaysian Education and Development Trust (CMEDT) and the Malaysian Commonwealth Studies Centre (MCSC) and through a grant from the Templeton World Charity Foundation (TWCF).

Myanmar rejects the said resolution as a whole since it is not only based on one-sided sweeping allegations and false assumptions which appears to be repeated and duplicated action on Myanmar but also targetting a country under the country-specific mandate. Accordingly, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent the letters of objection to the Secretary-General of the United Nations and the President of the General Assembly. The participation and delivering statement as well as voting at the afore-said meeting by the former Permanent Representative of Myanmar U Kyaw Moe Tun, who was dismissed from his assigned duty in the morning of 27 February 2021, and currently under an arrest warrant for committing high treason, under the banner of Myanmar, did not represent the country and was illegal. Accordingly, his statement, participation and action in the meeting are illegitimate and unacceptable and Myanmar strongly rejects his participation and statements.

Uber Technologies, Inc. et al., Case No. 3:17-cv-00939 Dear Judge Corley: Uber moves to compel responses to interrogatories and production of documents by Waymo that are fundamental to Uber’s defenses and that Uber needs to proceed with depositions. Waymo has sought and already obtained massive amounts of discovery from Uber, while at the same time refusing to produce information to which Uber is clearly entitled under the Federal Rules and that are more than proportional to the needs of the case, given the severity and scope of the relief Waymo seeks. Unless the Court promptly puts an end to Waymo’s stonewalling, the manifest prejudice to Uber will be severe. In light of the critical nature of this issue, Uber respectfully asks the Court to order Waymo to produce immediately documents and information in response to Uber’s Document Request Nos. 5-17, 19-20, 22-30, 33, 34, 37-43, 47-48, 64, 65, 67, 68, 71, 72, 77, 79, 80, 98-104, 114, 125-130, 134, 145, 149-156, 158-161, and Interrogatory Nos.
