E-Government: the case of the Gambia
By Baharul Islam and Atsuko Okuda
Policy Goal
To introduce a wide range of ways in which government should use the Internet and computer networks for: improving collaboration and cooperation between ministries; making government services more transparent, efficient and effective for the public by sharing accurate and up-to-date information and improving people's access to government services; boosting public sector accountability, transparency, efficiency and effectiveness. E-governmetn can also help streamline activities, cuts costs and paperwork and help many parties make more informed development decisions.
ment Goals or make other significant improvements in delivering services and improving the lives of their voters. In line with the rest of the world, part of this government transformation in Africa is to introduction of e-government initiatives.
What is e-government?
Although e-government encompasses a wide range of activities, three main areas can be identified: Government-to-government (G2G): This forms the basis for e-government. It involves sharing data and conducting electronic exchanges between different parts of the government. It involves exchanges within and between ministries and agencies at the national level, as well as exchanges between the national, regional or district, and local levels. Government-to-business (G2B): The private sector is central to transactions in this area of activities. One example could be where companies bid over on the Internet to supply goods and services for government contracts. Government-to-citizen (G2C): This is designed to make it easier for citizens to interact with government, which is what some observers perceive to be the primary goal of e-government. Examples could be filling forms over the Internet such as tax returns, or accessing information and finding officials.
Overview and Challenges
Many countries worldwide have been reforming their governments and public service delivery. They use information and communications technologies (ICT) as a key way to boost public sector accountability, transparency, efficiency and effectiveness. It streamlines activities, reduces costs and paperwork for government, citizens and users of government services and it makes a much wider range of information available and up-to-date. "E-government" also offers the public sector new ways to organize itself. It can enhance and update internal systems and procedures to improve government processes, cut costs, manage performance, and enable effective exchange and linkages within government. E-government is not purely a project centred on technology. It is rather how government can be effectively transformed to function and serve the public better through using technology. It supports and enhances the public sector reform process effectively and can be a tool to create more transparency and accountability. As with all reforms, e-government requires changing how officials think, act and view their job. It involves a re-engineering of government business processes.
In many countries, for a simple transaction such as obtaining a form, a large number of citizens spend most of a day at a local administration office. Too often, they do not know fully about the range of available public services, what they are entitled to, or how the services are delivered. For civil servants, processing the transactions manually is a time-consuming exercise which introduces human errors and corruption. Information which they collect is kept within particular departments and not shared among minstries and agencies. Decision makers do not have accurate and up-to-date information, analysis and forecasts on their country's socio-economic development, which are critical in making informed decisions based on evidence.
The Challenge facing Africa
Transforming government to achieve rapid increases in capacity is one of the biggest challenges facing African leaders who want to achieve the Millennium Develop-
both to contain their own costs and to make life easier and more productive for their people. In order to harmonize e-government initiatives and policies at the subregional level. has identified The Gambia as the model country for e-government. Policy approaches African leaders are seeking to share a vision and strategy for an information-based society that recognizes ICT as a tool for economic innovation and as a platform for socio-economic development. Although Internet Service Providers (ISPs) provide Internet services. ECA has also been assisting the East Africa Community (EAC) to formulate a subregional e-government policy and plan and to create an e-government observatory. Senegalese President. Objectives of Public Policy Interventions: e-government in The Gambia The African Information Society Initiative. An African Ministerial Committee brings together 13 member countries and has institutional and logistical support from the African Union (AU) and ECA. Ghana has requested ECA's support to introduce ICT into the process of reforming the civil service and even to implement "etraditional government" to support the traditional governance activities of the Asanteman Traditional Council in one part of Ghana. ly with the Government of Rwanda in developing an e-government policy and plan. States are seeking to mobilize internal and donor resources to achieve huge increases in public service capacity needed to attain MDG goals and targets. and the rest of the population. They must also transform efficiency. normally in the capital and other large towns. mainly because of lack of awareness and expertise. Another policy challenge is to take account of gender in drawing up national ICT strategies. This also makes it harder for African leaders to use ICT as part of poverty reduction or to avoid increasing what is known as the "digital divide". Africans were set to press for very concrete results such as the need for a common Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) card for telephones in Africa and to remove regulatory obstacles so that different technological platforms and media. could be used to provide content and information. they are hardly used by government to provide public services. proposed a Digital Solidarity Fund at the first part of the WSIS in December 2003 and this idea was adopted by the AU Summit of Heads of States in July 2004. Difficulties in providing e-government services are increased because there is usually only limited telecommunications coverage outside the capital. At the second stage of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS). they are often are not connected between government institutions and so they are not used for sharing data and information. implemented by the ECA. It would also make government services more transparent. efficient and effective for the public by sharing accurate and up-to-date information and improving people's access to government services. including Africa's agenda of global partnerships to finance access. the gap between better off people with access to ICT. and recommendations on e-strategies and applications across various sectors. Its purpose is to act on proposals coming out of the WSIS. When the programme was first proposed it was to establish electronic networking between the Department of State for Finance and Economic Affairs (equivalent to a Ministry) and the Office of the President in order to share financial and economic management data and information. This includes proposals for encouraging investment in ICTs including computer and other tools. as well as the role of the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) in this process.E-Government: the case of the Gambia A baseline study undertaken in The Gambia to prepare for an e-government policy (see below) revealed further challenges which many African States face. Africa has prepared an "Action plan for Africa and the knowledge economy". including the Internet.

Another challenge is to boost neglected sectors and rural offices so that they can take part and contribute equally in the total e-government programme.

Oldest bird tracks uncovered in Australia
Melbourne: Two thin-toed footprints pressed into a sandy riverbank more than 100 million years ago are Australia`s oldest known bird tracks, scientists say.
The fossilised footprints found at Dinosaur Cove in southern Victoria were likely made by birds during the Early Cretaceous period.
Much of the rocky coastal strata of the Dinosaur Cove were formed in river valleys in a polar climate during the Early Cretaceous. A great rift valley formed as the ancient super-continent Gondwana broke up and Australia separated from Antarctica.
Paleontologist Anthony Martin of Emory University said the thin-toed tracks in fluvial sandstone were likely made by two individual birds that were about the size of a great egret or a small heron. Rear-pointing toes helped distinguish the tracks as avian, as opposed to non-avian dinosaurs.
"These tracks are evidence that we had sizable, flying birds living alongside other kinds of dinosaurs on these polar, river floodplains, about 105 million years ago," Martin said.
A long drag mark on one of the two bird tracks particularly interested the researchers.
"I immediately knew what it was a flight landing track because I`ve seen many similar tracks made by egrets and herons on the sandy beaches of Georgia," Martin said.
"The ancient landing track from Australia has a beautiful skid mark from the back toe dragging in the sand, likely caused as the bird was flapping its wings and coming in for a soft landing," said Martin, who carried the analysis along Monash University`s Patricia Vickers-Rich and colleagues.
"Fossils of landing tracks are rare, and could add to our understanding of the evolution of flight," said Martin.
Today`s birds are actually modern-day dinosaurs, and share many characteristics with non-avian dinosaurs that went extinct, such as nesting and burrowing.
The study was published in the journal Palaeontology.

Morituriby Yasmina Khadra
View All Available Formats & Editions
This remarkable roman policier introduces us to the formidable and yet very human detective-writer, Superintendent Llob and his devoted lieutenant Lino. It follows Llob in his search for the missing daughter of Ghoul Malek, one of the top power brokers in Algiers. In his search, Llob must traverse the fear-filled streets of Algiers, from the dens of the drug pushers to those of the cruel and fanatical Islamic fundamentalists. The poverty and constant terror and suspicion endemic to Algiers, torn apart by civil war, is set against contrasting glimpses of the corrupt and luxurious high society. The memory of the serene and beautiful Algiers that was makes the current situation all the more heartbreaking. More than just an outstanding mystery novel, with Morituri Khadra paints an unforgettable picture of the tragedy of modern Algeria, in language of breathtaking power and poetry.

FRANKFURT, March 10 The European Central Bank said on Monday it took note of the resignation of Cypriot Central Bank governor Panicos Demetriades.
"The ECB takes note of the resignation of Panicos Demetriades who has been the governor of the Central Bank of Cyprus through very difficult times and played an important role in the implementation of the adjustment programme," an ECB spokesman said. "We count on a fruitful cooperation with his successor."
Demetriades' testy relations with the island's government dogged a tumultuous tenure when Cyprus teetered on the brink of bankruptcy.

Total Handle, Purses Increase at Woodbine Meet
Total handle and purses registered gains during the 167-day Woodbine meet that spanned April 16-Dec. 11.All-sources handle on the live product at the Toronto, Ontario, racetrack was $364,436,580 Canadian, up 7.7% from $338,349,020 for 167 days in 2004. The average was $2.18 million. Last year's all-sources handle was down 2.6% from 2003.Handle on the live product in the Toronto market, which includes off-track betting parlors, was $131,550,930, down slightly from $132,430,101 last year.Woodbine paid $81.5 million Canadian in total purses, up 0.1% from $80.3 million in 2004. The average was $488,000 per day for overnight and stakes purses.Woodbine has slot machines operated by the province of Ontario. Racing interests keep 20% of the revenue; 10% of that goes to the purse account and 10% to the track.Field size dropped slightly from 8.6 last year to 8.5 this year."Wagering was good overall on the live Thoroughbred meet considering the softening in betting numbers late in the season," Sean Pinsonneault, vice president of wagering operations for Woodbine Entertainment Group, said in a release. "We were even over last year in the Toronto market, and although our U.S. export wagering was up, it was primarily due to being in the California market for the whole year."Woodbine began offering common-pool wagering on racing from some U.S. tracks this year. The initial result was an increase in handle on some imported signals because patrons were able to wager into larger pools.

Cast: Julie Night, Jenna Haze, Jenny Hendrix, Hailey Young, Francesca Lé, Jayna Oso, Aurora Snow, Phoenix Marie, Tia Ling, Adrianna Nicole, Jandi Lin
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: All-Sex
Open Ended is Jonni Darkko's latest visual treat – an erotic showcase of sexy ladies using various large toys and translucent dildos slathered in lubricant to fuck their buttholes. Nine scenes are in the aforementioned solo style, and there's a girl/girl ass-licking interlude with foxy Adrianna Nicole and veteran gaper Aurora Snow. These cuties go wide!
An all-anal masturbation affair — nine solo scenes plus a girl/girl burner with Aurora Snow and Adrianna Nicole. All the girls use really big toys, sometimes for A2M as well.
Jenna Haze, not surprisingly, takes the biggest one and seems to get the most pleasure from it. She also teases spectacularly well. Aurora takes four fingers in the butt from Adrianna while sticking in four of her own. Super-pro Francesca Lé also delivers thrills.
As usual with Darkko, he gets great insertion shots, tons of intensity from the performers and a high degree of heat all the way through.

Kimberly Frost Weaves a Bewitching Story
Earlier this year, Houston author Kimberly Frost launched her Southern Witch series with Would-Be Witch, which was released in February, and Barely Bewitched, which released in September (a third installment is planned for 2011). The series combines horror with humor and centers on Tammy Jo, a young woman who lives in a small Texas town. While she comes from a magical family, Tammy Jo's powers don't seem to work too well, but she's working on them.
Frost, who's a doctor in an Medical Center emergency room when she's not writing, says the idea for the Southern Witch series came from her own reading and television watching habits. "I was reading humorous mysteries and a lot of dark urban fantasy. I was watching shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and thought, 'I like it when they combine the humor with the horror, what if I did that for a book?' But I wasn't sure it would work."
Later she bumped into an editor in a hotel hallway during a writer's conference and mentioned the idea. When the editor responded positively, Frost started writing Would-Be Witch that same day. "This book sort of took me by storm. This character had been rattling in my head for about a year. As soon as I gave myself the go ahead, I started working on it that day." While still at the conference, Frost finished the beginnings of the story and had a critique partner read it. "She was reading it and she started laughing. She'd read a little more and she'd laugh. I thought, 'I think I have something here.' So I got excited about it and wrote it really quickly."
One of the first things that Frost decided was that Tammy Jo would live in a small town in Texas. "I'm a big fan of quirky characters and small town life. I have some friends who are from small Texas towns and I just love their accents, I love their stories. That's how I decided on the setting."

Having an incompetent witch for a main character might seem to be risky; wouldn't readers rather follow the story of someone who had real powers? What's the use of making her a witch, if she doesn't use magic very well? But Frost says the series isn't about magic, it's about Tammy Jo. "I think of it as a coming of age story in the world of magic. Even though she's working as a pastry chef and she's competent in that, she's never really been comfortable with the paranormal aspects of her life and she gets thrown into all these adventures. As the [story] develops, she gets more and more confident.
"In a series, there's always the question of do you let a character evolve and change or do you let them stay the same. If the character the people fell in love with in the first book gets too different in the following books, you can have a problem. For me, I wanted her to grow. I thought these experiences would change her and as a writer, I wanted to see her grow, to grow-up. It's about her changing as a person, as well as changing as a witch."

Print HTML The Mumbai Mirror has published one of the most passive aggressive non-correcting corrections this mole has ever seen: Hahaha, well played, Mumbai Mirror. pic.twitter.com/nmsfPpOIki — Ashish Shakya (@stupidusmaximus) April 2, 2014 It reads: For the past 12 years we have been writing about the chief minister of Gujarat as being responsible for the happenings in his state. We called him a communalist with no grip on his administration. A man unable to curb violence against thousands of citizens, and who showed laxity in prosecuting its perpetrators. Now that he is clearly ahead in the polls we realise we have been utterly mistaken. He is in fact a visionary with a total grip on his administration. His revolutionary view on development has made life better for thousands of citizens. We are shocked by our misidentification and we offer Mr Modi our most sincere and unconditional hypocrisy. Signed, All journalists and anchors BURN. Update: Aaker Patel, in whose column the "clarification" appears, makes a habit of poking fun at the Indian prime ministerial candidate - here he is offering Modi action figures for sale, which he says are "not suitable for thinking adults". › I wonder what my younger self would've made of the House of Lords – and its hairdryers I'm a mole, innit.

OXANRD, Calif. (105.3 THE FAN) – Dallas Cowboys guard Nate Livings has undergone arthroscopic surgery on his knee, lessening the likelihood of his availability for the regular-season opener against the Giants and magnifying the team's problems at the position.
Neither Livings nor last season's other starting guards, Mackenzy Bernadeau, have been healthy enough to fully practice with the team in Oxnard. Ronald Leary is being counted on to step up for the Cowboys, who open the NFL preseason on Sunday in Canton, Ohio's Hall of Fame Game against the Dolphins.
Other offensive linemen with training camp injury woes include Kevin Kowalski, Ray Dominguez, Ryan Cook, Jeff Olson, Jermey Parnell and Demetress Bell.

We laughed, we cried, we felt a thousand emotions. And when the dust finally settled, we were left with the usual pile of dead anti-science copycat bills, often from the usual players. We're looking at you, Missouri and Oklahoma.
The tally was nearly identical to 2014's. Four bills targeted evolution, one climate science, two unspecified "scientific controversies," and one adoption of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS).
A new poll on public attitudes toward Pope Francis's encyclical on climate change included questions on the occurrence of climate change itself. Asked "Do you think that global warming is happening, or do you think global warming is not happening?" 69% of respondents said yes, 16% said no, 15% said that they were not sure, and 1% skipped or refused to answer the question.
A new poll of Latinos in the United States finds that a large majority — more than four fifths — accept that climate change is real, and that a majority — almost two thirds — accept that climate change is mostly due to human activity.

Android Google Now heading to Chrome browser?
Google Now, Google's Siri-like service that gives helpful snippets of information on Android, might be coming to the Chrome browser in future builds if new code found in the developer version, Chromium, is anything to go by.
Looking into the latest code release, a number of developers have spotted that Google is toying with the idea of bringing the Android feature to the desktop.
An entry in the Chromium project code site titled "Show Google Now notifications in Chrome" along with some code revisions for "Creating a skeleton for Google Now for Chrome implementation" suggests that the idea is, at least, at some level of development.
READ: Google Now announced
Following the find, Google has now officially confirmed that it's working on the project, but stopped short of committing to it.
"We're always experimenting with new features in Chrome, so have nothing to announce at this time," Google's Jessica Kositz said in a statement to cnet.com
Google Now delivers weather reports, trip departure reminders, birthday alerts, nearby restaurant reviews, and more to Android users keen to press the Google Now button.
Although some of the location data isn't perhaps as useful or as important on the desktop, you can see why the company is keen to add it to its browser. The more people who use the service, perhaps as their homepage, the more people might be interested in switching to an Android device that includes it.

Premarket Movers: Novell Down After Deal
Microsoft Corp.'s support agreement with Novell Inc. dominated the early session, with investors trying to sort out the winners and losers of the industry-shaking deal.
Shareholders initially punished Novell, sending its stock down ahead of the bell even after Microsoft, in essence, gave its stamp of approval to Novell's version of the open-source operating software Linux over competitor Red Hat Inc.'s.
"Microsoft is signaling a preference to prop up the market laggard in the Linux market to the detriment of Red Hat," said Sun Trust analyst Terry Tillman.
But the analyst doesn't expect Novell to benefit necessarily. "Importantly, we believe this partnership does nothing to stem Novell's NetWare declines nor Microsoft's focus on impairing Novell's growth prospects," Tillman wrote.
Novell shares lost as much as 23 cents, or 3.4 percent to $6.56 in premarket electronic trading before shares recovered, matching their Thursday close at $6.79 on the Nasdaq. In the past year, the stock has ranged from $5.73 to $9.83.
Microsoft shares rose 6 cents to $28.83. The company will be able to offer support for both its proprietary Windows operating system and Novell's Linux system as part of the deal, which could expand its corporate customer base. The software company's shares closed Thursday at $28.77 on the Nasdaq.
Meanwhile, Red Hat, which provides a different version of Linux than Novell, saw its shares drop on the news. Baird analyst Steven Ashley downgraded the stock to "Neutral," from "Outperform," saying there is "simply too much near-term noise and uncertainty" in the open-source market.
Red Hat lost as much as 50 cents, or 3 percent, before regaining some ground. Shares were lately down 21 cents, to $15.89 in off-hours trading. The stock closed Thursday at $16.10 on the Nasdaq, where it has ranged from $13.70 to $32.48 in the past year.
Leaving software for pharmaceuticals, Inspire Pharma Inc. shot up ahead of the bell after reporting that its drug to treat cystic fibrosis was "well tolerated" in a Phase II clinical trial.
"There were no serious adverse events or patient withdrawals during the trial," the company said in a statement. The next step is to enroll patients in a Phase III trial to test effectiveness.
Cystic fibrosis is a hereditary lung and digestive system disease that affects about 30,000 children in the United States, according to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
Inspire shares added 42 cents, or 7.9 percent, to $5.71 in the early session after closing Thursday at $5.29 on the Nasdaq. In the past year, Inspire has ranged from $3.92 to $7.88.
Shares in Encysive Pharmaceuticals Inc. rose before the bell after the drug maker said it responded to regulators who requested more information about the company's Thelin hypertension drug.
The Food and Drug Administration said it needed the information before it could make a decision on whether to approve Thelin.
Investors, who had punished Encysive in July when the FDA requested the information, cheered the move, sending the stock up 77 cents, or 15 percent, to $5.90 in electronic premarket trading. The shares closed Thursday at $5.13 on the Nasdaq, where they have ranged from $3.29 to $11.64 in the past year.

Facebook Open Sources 17-Camera Surround360 Rig with Ubuntu Stitching Software
The major benefit of the higher end cameras -- and the Surround360 in particular -- is not only quality and durability, but much shorter processing time stitching videos into a seamless whole. The open source Linux software "vastly reduces the typical 3D-360 processing time while maintaining the 8K-per-eye quality we think is optimal for the best VR viewing experience," says Facebook.
