The top four risks companies face when socialising online
Jumping on the social media bandwagon isn't as easy as the young'uns make it look. Blue Coat Systems' Nigel Hawthorn lists the dangers to look out for.
July 11, 2011 10:46 by kippreport
It's easy to say that social networking can no longer be ignored by companies, large and small. It's an entirely different issue when it comes to getting companies to support social media in their environment to enable the innovation, increased productivity, and accelerated growth that will drive your business.
The reality is that social networking links a twelfth of society, and that number is growing rapidly. Customers, partners, and employees, alike expect to engage with companies via social media. But there are certain things companies need to consider when entering the social networking space.
Social networking risks
All the things that make social media so attractive to users – the personalisation, the ease with which information can be shared, and the real-time nature of the medium – pose significant risks to your business. The following are the top four risks you face when you use social networking:
1. Malware: In 2010, social media became the preferred communications vehicle for users, who are spending more than 700 billion minutes per month on Facebook alone, making social networking sites ideal malware targets. According to Sophos, 40 percent of users were infected by malware from social networking sites. Typical attacks draw on the trust relationship established between users and their connections.
Some examples of malware particularly successful in social media are:
Phishing: Attackers pose as one of your legitimate social networking connections and try to lure you into providing sensitive information, such as your login credentials. They prey on the tendency of most people to use the same passwords for all their accounts, hoping that by tricking you into giving one username and password they can get access to more profitable banking, financial and other online accounts.Login details to a social networking site is just a speed bump, creating an opening for cybercriminals to steal online assets. This is why more and more phishing attacks are targeting seemingly "nonrelevant" online user accounts.
Click-jacking: Attackers lure you into clicking on a link, perhaps posting it on your wall and then spamming your friends to "check it out," or "view my photos." When someone clicks on the link, they unwittingly install malware (code or script) that can be used to steal information or take control over their computer. Clickjacking uses the dynamic nature of social networking and a willingness to click on links from those you know, and even those you don't, to quickly reach a large audience, cajole you into revealing private information (e.g. through surveys), collect hits for ad revenue, and eventually allow access to your entire social network.
2. Data loss: Social networking is about making connections and sharing experiences and information, however, sometimes that information is not meant to be made public. It's not uncommon for people to inadvertently post confidential information – "hey, I just met with xxx and I think I am about to make a huge commission," or "I'm pulling my hair out, if we can't fix this software bug soon, I don't know that I will ever sleep again." There have been cases in which employees have unintentionally posted proprietary software code to social networking sites, exposing sensitive intellectual property. These actions, though unintentional, can potentially violate industry specific regulations, impact your reputation, or put you at a competitive disadvantage.
3. Bandwidth consumption: As much as 40 percent of employees report that they are on social networking sites at work, creating a potential strain on bandwidth to the detriment of other business applications. Last year, when the US government mandated open access to social networks, traffic on the network increased by 25 percent. Video alone (think of all the videos your friends share and you link to through Facebook or Twitter), can overwhelm many networks. A single video stream usually consumes between 500k to 1.2 Mbps (and that's not even HD, which can be up to 4 to 7 Mbps), and when you have tens or hundreds of people accessing videos it's easy to see how overall performance can degrade.
4. Productivity loss: Social networking sites are becoming online destinations. They are increasingly convenient and engaging for users, drawing them to spend more and more time there, as well as increasingly challenging for the business to appropriately control during business hours (think back on the 700 billion minutes on Facebook).
Keep your business safe
While you find yourself compelled to allow social media to compete and thrive in today's global economy, you do not need to expose your business to undue risk. There are ways to protect against and mitigate the risks posed by social networking:
1. Real-time web defense – your solution needs to analyse your web traffic on the fly and uncover threats that may be hidden there. Real-time analysis of dynamically changing links provides risk analysis and timely protection to keep social media safe. So when you see "hey you should take a look at this," you can either allow or deny based on the potential risk it poses.

Meet Marki
Ever since an early age I've always had a natural ability to help out and watch younger children. I started babysitting for my neighbor's two young daughters from when I was 12 until we moved when I was 14. During my freshman year of high school, my aunt had my baby cousin who was an unexpected surprise. I have always babysat her about twice a month since she was born and also take her to school and other activities when my aunt and uncle have to work. Two and a half years ago my cousin had his first son with his wife who also had a 7-year-old son from a previous relationship. My cousin and his wife lived out in the city about 40 miles away but almost every Friday they would bring him out here for me to babysit. Eventually I moved in with my cousin straight out of high. While he and his wife worked full-time jobs and went out a lot it was my job to take care of both the boys, sometimes for a few days at a time. Even if it involved getting them ready in the mornings and taking one to school and watching the baby all day at home. Since I no longer live there I have a lot of free time I would love to be able to help other people and their families.

And we did it.
Later on we heard that some good friends of us had decided to join, so we will meet again in less than a year in a different continent ;-)
Yes Hans and Lori where coming to the meeting again!
Here is with Sharon (Tasmania) from Australia

Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them; in that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
- Restart your router and your broadband device, if they're separate. Any change?
- Run Software Update and install all available updates for OS X or your computer's firmware. Any change?
- If possible, connect to your router with an Ethernet cable and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?
- Are any other devices on the network, and if so, are they the same?
- If you can connect to more than one network, are they all the same?
- Are all network applications affected, or only some? If only some, which ones?
- Is networking always the same, or is the problem intermittent?
- Disconnect all other devices from the network. Any change?

Look out for our S. Florida ladies bringing the heat and making sure it is warm this winter. The ladies were shaking their money makers like they were trying to crashe the stock market. The club was bumping and keeping the bodies moving with the drinks flowing. Josh was working it like the rest, but he is the only one to bring home the gold for his member. Jody is one sexy tgiht lil package. She wanted to get freaky. As soon as we got back to the crib she wanted the cock deep inside of her immediately. Josh tossed her around and smacked her ass hard just the way she likes it. Her sweet ass got a nice white coating to end the wild and sexy night. She is one to check out again and again.

Our S. Florida ladies sure stepped up the party vibe for you this time. When we got there, our vixens were just heated up for the camera. The panties were missing on most and the tits and ass were just amazing. I mean amazing. Josh brought his own party to the table. His girlfriends were hot to trot. They had great bodies. Any man would be gay if they did not look them up and down, and say I would hit that every which way. They went back to our prime VIP spot and had a sexy good time. These girls traded the cock like it was the hottest thing on the market. They were tasting each other and geting pounded the way they like it.

How can I be lost?
So how can I blame you
When it's me I can't forgive?
Castiel, Dean and Sam Winchester (c) Supernatural
OMG it's breathtaking! Really gorgeous!
This is beautiful. I like how dark the whole piece is, it's so fitting.
Great job!
The dark colors suit this work nicely. I always love when artists make it look like it is stained like you did.
Kastiel *_____* :3
one of the best pictures on dA
Great textures, and I love that quote!
Awh, du supernatural. **
J'aime trop les expressions. ♥
Merciiii ! >w< Pour l'autre commentaire aussi, et pour les favs évidemment
This is great: I love the colours and composition.
Is it on tumblr for reblogging?
Thanks a lot ! But no I'm sorry, it's not on tumblr... Since it's not the first time somebody ask me so, I should probably make one ? Ahah, I don't know xD
It's definitely your choice, and it's definitely not compulsory. There are good points and bad points about tumblr. There are a lot of artists on there now. Some artists seem to find it easy to get their art noticed and some not.
It's worth asking though because artists that are on tumblr prefer their art to be re-blogged rather than posted )
Well, I think I'm gonna look at a few tumblr to get an idea of what it's like... If ever I decide to do my own, I'll tell you ahah
Thanks a lot for your comment by the way, it's nice of you to help me make a choice And a great mega super thanks for the Watch !
I am a huge supporter of fanart so I'm always happy to help.
Here are a few blogs that you could check out to get an overview when you're ready:
Amazing !
Impressive work! Just amazing!
This is amazing, really loving the colors here! and omg, the part from the unforgiven 3 Perfection!
wow this is amazing! I love your paintings <3
how do you do these so quickly and perfectly?
Ahaha, thank youuuu ♥ But eh... I don't think I'm drawing really quickly...I guess it just depends ! Some days I can't even draw a potato properly, even if I spend my afternoon on it ahah

I have custom binary tree class that holds values of template type
T (it could be value or pointer). Each value is encapsulated with number (this number is used for searching in tree). I want to have an
std::map inside my tree class fo fast O(1) access to objects without numbers.
template <typename T>
stuct BSTNode
T value;
int searchValue;
template <typename T>
class BST
BSTNode<T> * root;
std::map<T, BSTNode<T>> cache;
//... etc.
Example: I have class instance
a inserted in tree under value
n. Now I want to get the node associated with this
a. I cannot search the tree, because I don't have
n. So I want to use
a, and from
std::map get
node = map[a]. Now I can do
How can I achieve this? I can override compare method of
bool operator()(const void * s1, const void * s2) const
But it doesn't work for value and pointer at the same time: cannot convert parameter 1 from
const double to
const void *.

I am due on Wednesday.
I had a drs appointment today and the midwife checked me. I'm 2 to 3 cm dilated, but my cervix is still very thick - not thinned out at all.
Just a few minutes ago, I went to the bathroom. When I wiped, there was a hint of blood. It was very light and brownish. Is this from getting checked today? Should I call?

Can you cancel the startup repair and move on to the HP restore process?
You can also try restoring from the hard drive using F11 at the very start of the boot process by tapping F11 repeatedly when you first power up the PC.
Scroll down to: Restore the PC to its original condition with the HP Recovery Manager if Windows Vista is not accessible
Re: HP Pavillion dv6500 restoring to factory setting
It does not allow to cancel startup repair.
I tried restoring using F11 but same thing happens again.

Eizo CG series monitors & calibration options

Eizo CG series monitors & calibration options
Any one have experience with Eizo CG series monitors? I am getting more serious about printing and want to invest in a high quality monitor for editing that can be well calibrated for my Epson 3880 (and possibly a 7900). The monitor would be attached to my 2012 15" MBP retina.
Must admit that I am enamored with the cg246 with built in calibration tool. I like the simplicity and the fact that Eizo optimized the system from calibration sensor to monitor to software. Price just hurts (a lot).
Any recommendations on Eizo monitors for a mbp & your preferred calibration tool would be greatly appreciated.
This question has not been answered yet.

Banks Target The 'unbanked' With Prepaid Cards
Prepaid cards offer a new alternative
The survey asked banks about their perceptions and plans for a number of
prepaid card options, including general purpose reloadable cards, payroll cards, student cards and gift cards.
Prepaid gift cards were the most popular of these options with banks, with 58 percent of those surveyed offering or planning to offer these cards. However, general purpose reloadable cards, which are often used as an alternative to checking accounts, were a close second. Fifty-two percent of the banks surveyed said they offer or plan to offer this type of card.
The ability to attract new customers, as well as offer additional products to existing customers, were the main motivations given by banks for offering prepaid cards. In particular, it appears banks may be interested in attracting "unbanked" consumers -- those who currently have no bank account.
Many unbanked customers find traditional accounts too costly or complex to maintain. But the simple nature of prepaid cards may allow banks to extend improved financial privileges to consumers who have previously relied on alternative financial options, such as money orders and check-cashing services.

I found this open-source library that I want to use in my Java application. The library is written in C and was developed under Unix/Linux, and my application will run on Windows. It's a library of mostly mathematical functions, so as far as I can tell it doesn't use anything that's platform-dependent, it's just very basic C code. Also, it's not that big, less than 5,000 lines.
What's the easiest way to use the library in my application? I know there's JNI, but that involves finding a compiler to compile the library under Windows, getting up-to-date with the JNI framework, writing the code, etc. Doable, but not that easy. Is there an easier way? Considering the small size of the library, I'm tempted to just translate it to Java. Are there any tools that can help with that?
I ended up translating the part of the library that I needed to Java. It's about 10% of the library so far, though it'll probably increase with time. C and Java are pretty similar, so it only took a few hours. The main difficulty is fixing the bugs that get introduced by mistakes in the translation.
Thank you everyone for your help. The proposed solutions all seemed interesting and I'll look into them when I need to link to larger libraries. For a small piece of C code, manual translation was the simplest solution.

I haven't riden my bike for good while due to my back problems. Now i've mostly got em under control i can ride again.
Yesterday i planned to go for a ride for an hour but ended up riding for about two and a half hours cuz i was enjoying my self so much and now my knees are a bit sore. The same thing happened last week
I am fairly sure the knee soreness is due to overuse. Think my feet are the right distance from my seat (i ride a recumbent)and my cleats are in the right position. I have speedplay frogs which have non-centering free float so i dont think my feet are held down in the wrong position for my knees.
I plan on adding some stregthing exercises for my knees/quads to my back exercise programme. Meanwhile to easy myself into riding my bike without overdoing it (like i probably have done this week) how long should my rides be half hour, one hour?

ID please!
Apart from UAE, other countries are also in the process of implementing a national identity card scheme.
August 27, 2008 11:56 by kippreport
Recent reports say the UAE is planning to strictly implement the national ID scheme, which will be in place by 2010. Expatriates will be legally required to have the cards, and employers will be penalized if their staff break the law, reports Gulf News.
The card will be required for people making governmental, semi-governmental and private transactions by the end of 2010. Registrations have already started.
The service charge is Dh500 per family (on top of a registration fee), provided all family members are registered under one sponsorship. Expatriates have to pay Dh100 per year for the duration of their residence visas, while UAE nationals have to pay Dh100 for five years.
The project to issue approximately five million ID cards is worth $55m, and is being undertaken by the Emirates Identity Authority.
But the scheme is not a first for the region; it is already in place in Saudi Arabia. The national ID card is issued to every citizen in the Kingdom when he reaches the age of 15. The plastic card has a chip containing fingerprint and signature details and various other applications such as the civil register, family record, Saudi passport, driving license and health information. Earlier this month, Saudi placed an order for ID cards worth $2.8m from Laser Card Corporation.
Another country which has recently announced the implementation of a national identification cards project is Tanzania. The government announced that the scheme will be underway by 2009, when the cards are expected to be ready for distribution to its citizens.
The country is yet to decide the contractor for the $176m project, but it has garnered interest from many parties. According to reports, the scheme has been delayed for several years, because of problems like lack of funds, legal wrangling and meddling by some big names in the government.
Meanwhile, the ID cards scheme in the UK has been facing constant problems. Most recently, it was found that PA Consulting, the firm working on setting up the project, was involved with a major data blunder. The private firm employed by the government lost the names, addresses and release dates of 84,000 prisoners.
The $40bn ID scheme also came under scrutiny earlier this month, when the government's scientific advisers warned that the quality of fingerprints from 4 million people aged over 75 may be too poor to be used for the cards.
An organization called NO2ID has also been formed in UK to campaign against the ID card scheme.

Katie (Katiedid)
3 cups white sugar
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin
1 cup vegetable oil
2/3 cup water
4 eggs
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon ground nutmeg
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 cup miniature semisweet
chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour three 1 pound size coffee cans, or three 9x5 inch loaf pans.
In a large bowl, combine sugar, pumpkin, oil, water, and eggs. Beat until smooth. Blend in flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt. Fold in chocolate chips and nuts. Fill cans 1/2 to 3/4 full.
Bake for 1 hour, or until an inserted knife comes out clean. Cool on wire racks before removing from cans or pans.
This is my all time favorite bread. It never lasts more than 24 hours in our house. lol
Harvest Loaf
1 ¾ cups flour
1 t baking soda
1 t cinnamon
½ t salt
½ t nutmeg
¼ t ginger
¼ t ground cloves
½ cup butter
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
¾ cup canned pumpkin
¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
¾ cup finely chopped walnuts
Preheat oven 350 deg F
Grease bottom of 9x5x3" pan. Combine flour with soda, salt and spices. Cream butter in large mixing bowl. Gradually add sugar; cream at high speed of mixer until light and fluffy. Blend in eggs; beat well. At low speed add dry ingredients alternately with pumpkin; begin and end with dry ingredients. Blend well after each addition. Stir in chocolate chips and ½ cup walnuts. Pour into pan. Sprinkle with ¼ cup walnuts. Bake for 65-75 minutes until loaf springs back when touched lightly in center. Let stand for 6 hours before slicing.
NOTES:This cuts easier when it has been in the freezer for 20-30 minutes. I omit the nuts since I'm the only one in the house that would eat it if I put them in. This is also really good with dark chocolate chips.

This is my favorite pumpkin bread recipe. It's moist and chewy. I love the chocolate chips in it and it freezes great. I usually make 4 loaves, slice them, then freeze. Then I just pull out a few slices at a time.

text: The reform I envision will force the credit card and mortgage companies to play by the rules. I am tired and frustrated with the lack of meaningful action by the Congress and Senate. They pay lip service to reform but are so afraid of cutting off funding they do what is worse. They pass laws that give the public false hope with built-in loopholes. Congress has forgotten the lessons of the Depression. They get theirs and to perdition with everyone else. I am sure they have no idea of the low place they are held. Maybe some of the perks they enjoy should be removed and they might understand what it's like to have to earn a living again. Families who are hoping to buy a home or pay for college are put on a level playing field with lenders. Reform ensures they'll get the information they need presented clearly and concisely so they can make good decisions. The same goes for small businesses and community banks that play fair and deserve to see their businesses grow. Joseph Silva, Lincoln

We recently had a customer visit the Enterprise Engineering Center to gain a better understanding of the scalability and limitations of thier current Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server / Exchange 2003 Server front end server design. They had just implemented a new centralized Exchange 2003 infrastructure and were in the process of migrating 70,000 mailboxes to the new environment. Due to security policies, all of thier outlook clients connect to exchange using RPC over HTTPS. Because each Outlook client requires on average about 8 connections (for directory service, mailbox, public folders, etc.), their environment needed to support over 560,000 connections. As they began to migrate mailboxes to the new environment they began to experience 32-bit architecture kernel non-paged pool memory limitations on the Exchange front end servers. After approximately, 20,000 connections, http.sys (a kernal mode driver than consumes npp memory for every RPC over HTTPS connection) had exhausted all available non-paged pool memory and the server became unresponsive. In order to support 560,000 connections, the customer would have to implement about 30 Exchange front end servers. Since thier original deployment only had 6 Exchange front end servers, so this would represent a significant and unacceptable increase in hardware and support costs.
The ultimate solution to this problem was to wait until Exchange 2007 is released and implement 64-bit Exchange Client Access Servers. The available non-paged pool memory goes from 250MB in 32-bit OS's to 128GB in 64-bit OS's thus eliminating the issue. In this case the customer couldn't delay thier migration until Exchange 2007 and wasn't comfortable running pre-release software in thier environment.
The Exchange team came up with an interim solution - replace the 32-bit Exchange 2003 front end servers with 64-bit Windows 2003 Servers running the RPC over HTTP Proxy service. Then when Exchange 2007 is released, add the CAS server role. This turned out to be a great solution for the customer so I thought it was worth blogging.
I'm in the process of writing 2 technet articles. One will describe the non-paged pool memory limitation and options available and one will describe some ways to tweak a 64-bit RPC Proxy server to support a large number of connections. I'll be posting draft versions here shortly.

D.C.'s the Second Most Expensive "State" for Renters
The National Low Income Housing Coalition just came out with its 2011 data dump, and D.C. residents shouldn't be that surprised: Our fair city is second only to Hawaii in the price of its rental housing.
More specifically, the NLIHC calculates the "housing wage," which is the full-time hourly wage a household would need to earn in order to afford the fair market rent for an apartment, paying no more than 30 percent of their income on housing. For D.C., that's $28.10; Hawaii's is $31.08.
Of course, that's a little misleading—D.C. is the only solely urban jurisdiction in that ranking, so rents will inevitably be higher. But it's not that far off from the highest-ranked metropolitan area, Stamford-Norwalk, Conn., which comes in at $34.62. And the most instructive numbers are those comparing D.C.'s rents with the median renter's income, which is $38,210. You'd need to make $58,440 in order for the fair market rent for a two-bedroom to be considered affordable. 68 percent of D.C.'s rental population—55 percent of the entire population—doesn't meet that bar.
All of which will probably be used by the folks rallying tomorrow for affordable housing programs in D.C.'s 2012 budget.

Additional Information
About Cooperativa San JoseThis loan is administered by Cooperativa San Jose, a 45,000-member credit union located high in the Andes Mountains of Ecuador's poorest province, Bolivar. They offer a unique loan called "Ventanillas Rurales" [Window to the Countryside], which uses a group guarantee but is an individual loan with a savings component, mostly to rural borrowers. Due to low savings rates and a history of macroeconomic instability, many traditional loans in Ecuador demand interest rates that are prohibitively high for some borrowers. There is also a high incidence of extortionist black-market lending in Ecuador. CSJ helps mitigate these problems by providing a less onerous and more appropriate option. Join CSJ's Lending Team!
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

This seventh economic update goes to the heart of one of the main challenges faced by Tanzania: how can the country finance its development? This is a fundamental question when aid is coming down as a proportion of a growing GDP, and as access to financial markets remains limited. ... See More + Oneoption would be to rely more on the private sector to deliver education, health, roads, ports and electricity. This is possible as demonstrated by many such experiences around the world, and therefore this approach needs to be one important part of the solution to finance development. The argument presented in this economic update is that higher tax revenues will come only if a comprehensive approach is adopted. The tax system has to be affordable, fair, simple, and transparent. The government also has to be accountable for the money it is receiving. It is onlywhen these basic conditions are met that tax compliance will increase. Because a strong social contract between the State and its citizens is not yet sufficiently in place in Tanzania, a number of suggestions are proposed in the update, with the objective of stimulating debate on possibleapproaches to increase tax revenue.

The focus of this economic update is the tourism sector, which is clearly central to Tanzanias drive toward economic emergence. Riding on the countrys bountiful natural assets, tourism is a fast growing sector that is not only providing jobs but is also bringing in much-needed foreign currency. ... See More + This sector already benefits from substantial attention from the countrys leadership, notably in the context of the national business council that recently prioritized tourism as a high growth industry and a major source of job creation. Nevertheless, more can be done to increase benefits so they can be felt more broadly across society. This update proposes three strategic directions towards achieving this goal: (i) the diversification of tourism activities, in multiple dimensions; (ii) further integration in to the sector of stakeholders such as local communities and small operators; and (iii) good governance in the management of fiscal revenues as well as in the use of natural assets. This update also assesses the current state of the Tanzanian economy. While recent developments remain globally positive with high and stable GDP growth and with the inflation rate currently in check, fiscal risks for Tanzania have been growing. During the last fiscal year, the Government missed its revenue targets and was forced to cut priority expenditures and accumulate arrears with contractors and pension funds. See Less -

This fifth economic update also examines prospects for economic prosperity in the context of rapid urbanization; in particular, how the growth of cities can be harnessed to create productive jobs for a labor force that is expected to double in the next 15 years. ... See More + By 2030, Dar es Salaam will be a mega city of over 10 million people. As demonstrated by many countries in the world, cities encourage the creation and expansion of businesses by reducing distances between suppliers and customers. Can Dar es Salaam and other Tanzanian urban areas become thriving cities? Can they avoid becoming metropolis slums? Urbanization comes with significant challenges, notably in terms of increased pressure on infrastructure, housing, and service provision. The quality of the business climate in urban Tanzania will need to be improved, as most small and large entrepreneurs suffer from the uncertainty, corruption, and insecurity that characterize the business environment. This economic update argues that these challenges need to be addressed with a sense of urgency. See Less -

Morisset, Jacques; Cunningham, Victoria; Haji, Mahjabeen Disclosed
The special focus of this fourth economic update is as much a concern for policymakers as for ordinary citizens. This economic update discusses a bold new way of lessening extreme poverty by transferring cash directly to the most vulnerable people. ... See More + In Tanzania, the success of a similar program piloted by the Tanzania Social Action Fund (TASAF), which includes conditional cash transfers as well as public works for productive infrastructure, is also very encouraging as shown by an independent evaluation. Although cash transfers are promising, as this update discusses, there are risks associated with implementation on a large scale. It will be essential to ensure effective targeting and sound monitoring. And the decision to scale up needs to be embedded in strategic thinking about medium-term fiscal sustainability. The economic update also discusses the state of the economy more broadly. Strong and stable economic growth and gradually declining inflation have been the hallmarks of Tanzania's recent economic performance. Tanzania needs to strike the right balance between making large capital investments and maintaining fiscal discipline. Tanzania needs to maintain fiscal discipline and continue to keep the country's debt and debt-service at acceptable levels to consolidate the gains achieved over the past decade. In this context, the report is organized in two parts: part one is the state of the economy; and part two is money to people: can conditional cash transfers make a difference? See Less -
Working Paper (Numbered Series) 83172 DEC 01, 2013
Morisset, Jacques Disclosed
The wide media coverage of the series as well as the interest in the blog show that the debate has been gradually moving from ministerial corridors to the public arena. ... See More + This latest update foresees that the Tanzanian economy will maintain its resilience by continuing to grow at about 7 percent in the coming years. If some clouds are looming on the external and fiscal horizons, the update argues that the risks they pose should be manageable. The majority of the countrys top 100 mid-size enterprises believe that 2013 will be better than 2012; and 2014 better than 2013. Nevertheless, a growing consensus today is that Tanzania needs to rely more than today on private enterprises to achieve faster and more equitable growth, as private enterprises are the ones that can provide jobs, build infrastructure, and bring new technology to the local economy. Many actions are needed on the policy front, especially to improve the business environment. Tanzania has gradually opened its economy since the early 2000s; it is also true that business coming in and going out of the country remains costly. To reduce trade costs, the priority should be to transform the Port of Dar es Salaam. An efficient port is critical because approximately 90 percent of Tanzanias international trade goes through its gates. This is a welcome development for local and regional consumers and firms that heavily depend on the performance of the port in their daily endeavors. See Less -

Tanzania continues to stand out as a model of sound economic performance in the African continent, with a growth rate of over six per cent in 2011 and 2012, surpassing other regional economies and demonstrating impressive resilience to the global economic crisis. ... See More + This is the second issue of the Tanzania economic update series. The series aim to engage a broad audience in a discussion of the state of the economy in general, as well as in specific debates of topical importance in Tanzania. The current issue seeks to get the discussion going on how to achieve the structural transformation of the rural economy so that rural households can also benefit from the country's remarkable growth performance.

Working Paper (Numbered Series) 73346 OCT 01, 2012
Morisset, Jacques Disclosed
Tanzania's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth in the last 12 years has been extremely strong, averaging close to 7 percent annually. This rate is high, but still lower than that of successful emerging countries when the nation's high population growth rate of about 3 percent is factored into the equation. ... See More + Economic growth has failed to eradicate poverty, with one third of households still living below the poverty line. If Tanzania aims to reduce the income gap between itself and middle income countries, it will have to grow faster and better. This Tanzania economic update focuses on the need to transform the education system and to foster growth amongst business enterprises. These are the two vital elements by which Tanzania will achieve accelerated and shared growth. There is a synergistic effect between these two elements, since better educated people are more productive and therefore play a major role in making business enterprises become more competitive. The reverse is also true, since more competitive business enterprises can invest more in human capital. Those synergies are at the heart of economic development. See Less -

Abbas urges Obama to impose Mideast peace solution
Netanyahu agrees to release prisoners, remove roadblocks as goodwill gestures to PA, Al-Hayat reports.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas urged the Obama administration on Saturday to impose a solution to the Middle East conflict that would give his people an independent state.
"Mr. President [Barack Obama] and members of the American administration, since you believe in this [an independent Palestinian state], it is your duty to take steps toward a solution and to impose this solution," Abbas said in a speech.
Abbas made the remarks to members of his Fatah party in the West Bank city of Ramallah a day after talks there with Obama's Middle East envoy. George Mitchell is in the region to try to revive peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians.
"We've asked them [the Obama administration] more than once: 'Impose a solution,'" Abbas said.
Abbas also rejected the establishment of a Palestinian state within temporary borders, an idea he said was recently proposed for restarting peace talks.
In his speech, Abbas referred to recent proposals - apparently from Israel - for a temporary state but did not elaborate. Frankly, we will not accept the state with temporary borders, because it is being offered these days, he said.
He said the Palestinians were being asked to take a state with provisional borders on 40 or 50 percent, and after that we will see.
Abbas aide Nabil Abu Rdeneh denied that Israel officially raised the idea.
However, a Palestinian academic said Israel offered Abbas such a state on more than 50 percent of the West Bank. The academic said he served as a go-between for the two sides and spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to brief reporters.
A Palestinian state with provisional borders is part of the U.S.-backed road map peace plan as an interim step toward full independence.
Mitchell told Israel and the Palestinians on Friday that Obama wants a comprehensive peace deal to be a reality soon and not in some vague and distant future time.
Pressing both sides to end a 16-month suspension of negotiations, Obama wants "proximity talks" on a deal to start within weeks. He has said peace is a vital strategic interest of the United States as it battles Islamic militants abroad.
Abbas' appeal to Obama came amid widespread media reports that the U.S. president was considering floating a proposal that would set the contours of a final peace deal.
Any such move would likely be opposed by Israel, which says only negotiations can secure a final settlement to the conflict.
Report: Netanyahu agrees to new gestures toward Abbas
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has agreed to release more than 1,000 Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails, to remove several roadblocks in the West Bank, and to ease the blockade on the Gaza Strip, as a series of gestures towards Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, the London-based Arabic Language news agency Al-Hayat reported on Saturday.
During his meeting with United States special Mideast envoy Mitchell on Friday, Netanyahu also agreed to enable the Palestinian Authority to act in Area C, which contains most Israeli settlements, in the West Bank.
However, Netanyahu refused the U.S. demand to freeze construction in East Jerusalem as well as the request to return all territories classified as Area C in the West Bank to PA control, Al-Hayat reported.
The West Bank was divided in 1995 into Areas A, B and C, in accordance with an Israeli-Palestinian interim agreement. More than 70,000 Palestinians live in Area C, which according to the Oslo Accord gives Israel full civilian and military control of the area.
Palestinian sources quoted by the London-based paper said that, despite the new gestures, Abbas rejected Netanyahu's recent offer to establish a Palestinian state within temporary borders on over 60 percent of West Bank territories, as he believed that the offer was an attempt to drag him into sterile negotiations in order to perpetuate the PA as a temporary borders.
Israeli and American officials reportedly conveyed the offer to Abbas, while President Shimon Peres and Defense Minister Ehud Barak both attempted to convince the U.S. that this was the only way to prevent a continuous Middle East conflict, Al-Hayat reported.

Dexter fans rejoice, as there's a chance this season may not truly mark the end of the television drama. Speaking at the Televis9ion Critics Association's summer press tour, Showtime President David Nevins teased the possibility of a spinoff or continuation of the series.
Revealing that Dexter's showrunner had signed a two-year exclusive agreement with the cable channel, Nevins said, "We announced a deal with Scott Buck today, draw your own conclusions."
After the talk, The Hollywood Reporter pushed for more information from Nevins, who initially said that nothing was "actively" being done. However, that's not what it sounded like as he continued. "It's not necessarily a spinoff," he said. "All options will be explored. We're really not dealing with it at all until we're through this season and maybe for a while thereafter."
While staying generally vague, Nevins said they're mainly focused on giving Dexter a proper sendoff. He went on to praise Buck, who also wrote and produced on shows like Rome and Six Feet Under.
"We have a deal with Scott and we're going to develop a bunch of different things with him, there's nothing else to be concluded at this point," he said. "There's no sense of whether it will happen and if it will happen but I want to stay in business with Scott."
