BEIJING, Dec. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Cloud computing, the third wave of IT, is one of the fastest-growing emerging industries in the world with ever-expanding uses for both governments and enterprises. According to the latest quarterly IT Spending Report from Gartner, the global public cloud service market, which exceeded $91 billion in 2011, is expected to increase by 19 percent to $109 billion by the end of 2012. Ed Anderson, cloud computing observer at Gartner, has predicted that cloud computing will lead to a string of new expenditure points for the IT industry over a long timeframe and stimulate substantial growth in related markets. By 2016, said Mr. Anderson, the cloud computing industry will have more than doubled to a market scale of $207 billion. Rapid developments in cloud technology have led to a more mature cloud storage market and a major trend towards enterprise cloud computing.
However, government and enterprise customers, most notably mobile operators, are saddled with funding, equipment and manpower pressures, making the transition to enterprise cloud a difficult one to navigate. The mass of data generated during day-to-day operations must be stored long-term, which means size requirements are growing with each passing day. Local backup programs struggle to ensure that data is not lost and the cost of remote disaster recovery remains prohibitively high for many. In addition, careful access control is required to avoid data leakage, and massive amounts of data require enterprises to hire special personnel to implement and manage backup, increasing labor costs.
It is against this backdrop that leading global provider of integrated software platforms and end-to-end communication solutions Borqs International Holding Corp. (Borqs) sees great potential to help enterprises. Cloud storage technology and business models are maturing every day. There is still a gap in the storage market for enterprise customers, and the potential is huge. Compared to other government and enterprise customers, mobile network operators have an incomparable advantage in terms of social credibility. They have their own IDC equipment rooms and rich broadband network resources, and their billing habits are closest to those of customers in China. Their strong existing enterprise broadband customer base, enterprise broadband business and enterprise cloud business promote each other and form a "business package," helping mobile network operators to quickly increase their market share.
Borqs has focused on cloud computing for years, and it has been positioned as a leading provider of both cloud computing and end-to-end Android solutions since its founding. In 2008, the company began to focus on R&D in the cloud computing field and released successively the HB-CSS cloud storage solution, cloud storage system, gateway and applications solutions (uDrop/eDrop) similar to Amazon AWS S3, and vHive cloud analysis system. In addition, the HB-CDW cloud computing solution provides an OLAP database system to query and analyze mass data (up to 10PB) and the HB-ClusterMaster cloud maintenance solution promotes the efficient operation and maintenance of large-scale computing clusters. With the help of its mature cloud computing and cloud storage technologies, Borqs is committed to creating a unified cloud service platform based on the idea of "One Platform, Three Services." It will first build a unified cloud computing platform to promote mass data backup and serve as a safe box for enterprise information and the next-generation of three independent IDC services. Borqs will also develop and evolve so as to provide enterprise customers with better services and to develop more industry applications. Borqs is also poised to explore new businesses and models for enterprise cloud services and adopt online marketing methods to attract news users.
Furthermore, based on its proprietary intellectual property for a series of cloud storage products and solutions, Borqs will improve its user interface and user experience to fulfill mobile operators' special requirements and to help them adapt and implement related products. Borqs' highly efficient R&D team responds rapidly to develop new product functions and to meet new demands from enterprise customers; Borqs is also positioned to invest in all or part of a mobile operator's required hardware and software products and to take on system maintenance based on carrier requirements. Borqs can even provide local technology supporting order to improve system construction and maintenance.
With years of growth and successful operation, Borqs has accumulated ample experience in providing mobile operators with enterprise cloud services and has worked together with numerous government and enterprise customers to provide network traffic optimization and improved user experiences. Borqs has also completed the deployment of 800 storage nodes of 6TB each for the first phase of the Pangusou Cloud Storage Project(HB-CSS oHive/uDrop); The second phase will involve 1600 storage nodes of 12TB each, creating a final capacity of 24PB. In the eDrop project (HB-CSS oHive/uDrop) coordinated with Shenzhen Airlines, Borqs assisted in the construction of a private enterprise cloud and cloud services platform for over 10,000 employees. Leveraging its leading-edge technological advantage and spirit of innovation, Borqs will continue to provide enterprise cloud solutions to mobile operators, spurring mutual growth and development.

Female Agents
Last week, former Apprentice candidate Michael Sophocles revealed in an interview with the JC that he wanted to review films for us. Always willing to give someone a second chance, we invited him to cast his eye over a French-language wartime drama. Here's what he thought.
Jean-Paul SalomÉ is renowned in his native France as being something of an auteur. This is quite an accolade for any director, and, with his latest movie Female Agents (a rather silly title, it has to be said), the hype surrounding him is almost justified. What we end up getting is a mixed bag of tricks that leaves us mainly captivated, but occasionally unconvinced.
Female Agents - a relentlessly gritty tale with a contrived ending, says Sophocles
The premise is certainly interesting enough. Four women — played by Julie Depardieu, Marie Gillian, Deborah François and Maya Sansa — each with very different backgrounds, are recruited for two secret missions in Occupied France by the no-nonsense resistance fighter, Louise (Sophie Marceau). The mission starts off well for the girls, only for things to go horrifically awry when they are asked to kill off the unconventional Nazi, Colonel Heindrich.
This Second World War tale is relentlessly gritty, and if you have come to the cinema for a popcorn wartime romance, I am afraid you are going to go home reasonably disappointed.
Agents is an old-fashioned action movie that will pull on your heart strings and give you a much-needed insight into the plight of women whose actions were often overlooked in favour of their male counterparts. In short, it is rather morose.
The central performances are quite brilliant, though, and give the movie a much-needed lift. In particular, Moritz Bleibtreu's bow as the humanised Nazi colonel gives Agents a boost whenever he is on screen. In his various interactions with the female leads, he often shows glimmers of clemency that lead the audience to feel he may stray from his vicious duties, only for our hopes to be dashed so cruelly.
And hats off to Salomé. There are some beautiful shots that immerse the audience into his sombre war picture, and also congrats to the director for not resorting to clichés when portraying his complex characters.
However, why is it that no matter how adept a director is, they never quite know when to end their stint? Female Agents suffers greatly from an overcooked ending that seems to drag on interminably. And the longer it goes on, the less real the whole film feels. And that's the biggest sin, because it taints the experience.
If you can labour through a French-subtitled war movie, then I fervently believe you can do anything! But joking aside, Female Agents is an admirable effort that could have got an extra star if not for the contrived ending.
Now you're in the boardroom
So how did Michael do? Here's your chance to play the role of Sir Alan and tell us whether we should hire him for more JC reviews... or fire him. Email email@example.com or write to Film Reviews, Jewish Chronicle, 25 Furnival Street, London, EC4A 1JT

Wellington fire

Officials are treating a large Wellington scrub fire which forced the evacuation of dozens of people from their homes as suspicious.
Do you know anything more about the blaze? Email your newstips, photos and video to firstname.lastname@example.com
Incident controller Rachael Thorp said a fire investigator would be joined by detectives at the scene about 4.30pm this afternoon.
''It's being treated as suspicious, but we need to confirm that with the fire investigator.''
It is thought the blaze began near Landfill Rd, she said.
Residents were evacuated about 2am this morning after the fire began moving up a hill south of Brooklyn, covering 10 hectares on Landfill Rd, just off Happy Valley Rd in Owhiro Bay.
The flames, up to five metres high at times, threatened houses early this morning but firefighters were successful in diverting the blaze away from the area.
Fire crews were now working frantically to dampen hot spots before an expected southerly change between 2pm to 3pm this afternoon.
Winds were expected to build in strength to peak at an average speed around 35kmh this evening. Cloud was expected to increase this afternoon with drizzle developing tonight.
At the moment it was looking good, but there were some concerns, Thorp said.
''There's the odd hot spot where it gets into gorse and flares up.
''We're working really hard to get active fronts out so it doesn't jump the containment lines that we've got at the moment.''
Two helicopters with monsoon buckets were still dousing flames while another was transporting firefighters to different areas.
Fifty firefighters were at the scene, Thorp said.
Despite the fire, Happy Valley Rd and Owhiro Bay School were open.
A family of seven, including 22-month-old triplets, fled as a wall of flames approached their Wellington home.
"It was like armageddon," said Chris Sadler.
The family, including five children under five, were woken by shouts from neighbours at 2am this morning as the huge blaze took hold in Happy Valley.
"There was a lot of commotion, people sounding really terrified. We opened up the bi-fold doors and the whole hill was on fire," he said.
Wearing just shorts and shoes, Sadler, 35, began scooping up children.
His partner Bonnie Phillips, 37, also grabbed the dog and a hard-drive containing photos.
Sadler had just minutes to get Poppy, 4, 22-month-old triplets Jesse, Jade and Fern, baby Tilly, and the family dog to safety.
"When you've got more kids and hands it gets pretty awkward," Sadler said.
The family fled up a nearby hillside, and watched the flames draw nearer to their home.
When Wellington resident Michelle Carlile-Alkhouri was woken early this morning she saw "a ring of fire" around her home.
"It was massive," she said, describing the moment a neighbour banged on her door and told her to get out.
Carlile-Alkhouri evacuated with her husband, nine-year-old daughter, six-year-old son and the family cat.
"It looked like it was encroaching on the development - it was pretty scary.''
The family left behind three chickens, 20 doves and two rabbits which they had been worried about.
Resident Terri Shaw said it was a shock to be woken in the night to hear there was a fire.
"It was horrible, really distressing. You could hear the crackling of the fire and see all the smoke and sparks.''
Shaw praised the hard work of firefighters, and said residents were blessed that the damage was not worse.
Caroline Freer said it was a very scary, and she thought she was going to lose her house.
"Our neighbour rang us at 2am and told us the whole hill was on fire and we had to get out. Shortly after the police came to evacuate us.''
Earlier, Owhiro Bay resident Lance Shepherd said wind was not helping emergency services.
"Fire crews are dousing houses and surrounding bush as the prevailing northwesterly wind is driving the fire rapidly down the ridge in their direction."
Residents were told around 7.15am that they could return to their homes, an announcement met with applause by the crowd at a Civil Defence centre at Owhiro Bay School.
However, firefighters expected to battle the blaze for the next couple of days. Initially 20-50 houses were directly affected, with many evacuated.
Fire Service spokesman Brett Lockyer said about 10-15 households on Rarangi Way - about 30 residents - were evacuated in the night.
The fire was burning toward the houses, but firefighters were successful in diverting the blaze away from the area.
While homes were no longer in danger, the slow-burning fire was still going on two flanks, Lockyer said.
Rural service firefighters were on the ground trying to battle the fire, but there were some parts of scrub too dangerous for them to get anywhere near.
Firefighters have worked for two nights to contain a scrub fire near Tapora, north of Auckland.
The blaze has been held at 70 hectares after it was spread rapidly yesterday by strong easterly winds.
The Fire Service used heavy machinery and helicopters to isolate the blaze and stop its growth.
"The crews used tractors to create fire breaks in the north and helicopters held it in the south," said Fire Service spokesman Jaron Phillips.
Yesterday two helicopters and 13 rural fire trucks were working to stop the fire.
Two crews continued to work overnight and will be joined by further crews this morning.
The fire started at around 11pm Tuesday night
''The fire (was) burning in two metre-high gorse and pampas grass, scrub and trees. It grew from a 200m by 50m piece of land at a rate of 150m an hour,'' said Phillips.
There were no reported injuries and no homes were under threat.
''There are some baches north of the fire, but there is no risk to properties as of yet.''
The cause of the fire had not been determined.
Meanwhile, firefighters were still at the scene of a series of suspicious fires west of Hamilton this morning.
Northern fire communications spokesman Jaron Phillips confirmed there were four fires this morning on Old Mountain Rd.
Eight fire trucks fought the fires on Old Mountain Rd, Karamu, after the emergency call came in about 4.30am.
Phillips said the most severe blaze burned through two hectares of gorse and scrub.
It was now contained and firefighters continued to dampen down hotspots.
A fire investigator from Hamilton was at the scene.
Earlier, there were two separate vegetation fires near Kinloch, Lake Taupo, and another on Ruakiwi Rd, Waingaro.

Industrial SBC builds on Raspberry Pi Compute Module
On Kickstarter, a "MyPi" industrial SBC using the RPi Compute Module offers a mini-PCIe slot, serial port, wide-range power, and modular expansion. You might wonder why in 2016 someone would introduce a sandwich-style single board computer built around the aging, ARM11 based COM version of the original Raspberry Pi, the Raspberry Pi Compute Module. First off, there are still plenty of industrial applications that don't need much CPU horsepower, and second, the Compute Module is still the only COM based on Raspberry Pi hardware, although the cheaper, somewhat COM-like Raspberry Pi Zero, which has the same 700MHz processor, comes close.

Inflation Protection
With health care costs rising to new heights every year, buying a policy without inflation protection is probably buying a policy that won't cover much of your expenses. There are two main kinds of inflation protection: the right to add coverage at a later date; and automatic coverage increases that adjust for COLA (cost-of-living-adjustments)
Non-Forfeiture Benefit
Policies with this benefit will continue to pay for your care even if you stop paying premiums. This policy feature can add 10 percent to 100 percent to your premium.
Free-Look Clause
This provision lets you cancel your policy within a certain number of days after you've signed and paid for it. Applicants need to check with their state insurance commission to find out how many days are allowed- typical is 10, 20 or 30 days.
Waiver of Premium
This waiver allows the policy owner after a specified period of time of receiving benefits under the policy, to apply to have their premium payments waived until they are no longer receiving covered care or the lifetime maximum benefit has been paid.
Practice Question:
Which provision of a "qualified" long-term care policy is required under HIPAA?
A. Inflation protection
B. Surrender value
C. Guaranteed renewable
D. Fixed benefit
Answer: C
Under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), for policies issued after January 1, 1997- the contract must be "guaranteed renewable" in order to maintain federal "qualified" status.
Limits for a "Qualified Policy"
In order for a policy to receive favorable tax treatment, it must conform to certain standards & guidelines as set forth by the Internal Revenue Code and HIPAA. They must contain language to address the following:
- Policy must be Guaranteed Renewable
- Prohibitions on limits and exclusions
- Policy replacement
- Policy conversion
- Cannot require prior hospital stay for benefits
- Contract cannot only provide skilled nursing care coverage
- Requirement to offer inflation-adjusted benefits
- Proper marketing standards
- Suitability of the recommended purchase
- Must be a two-year incontestable clause for misrepresentation

The People's Newsletter from the People's Movement in their bi-monthly newsletter carry an article on Brexit which is topical given that the British go to the polls on it this Thurs 23rd June. The various opinion polls show it to be relatively close.
The article here from the People's Movement puts forward good Left wing arguments why Britain should leave and they are good reasons for Ireland to leave too. The impression given is that the Brexit referendum was agreed to because of political pressure from the people. It is likely though that there are considerable powerful interests within the elite want to leave as they see their chances to be better off in the long run, yet those arguments not discussed here would be more issues within national capitalist faction.

An oil and gas company called Infrastrata has been given a fifty year lease to drill less than 400 metres from a reservoir at Woodburn near Carrickfergus - on public land within our water catchment. At no point were we consulted.
The consequences of unconventional drilling on health and the environment are well documented. This is why it has been banned all over the world - from France to Germany, Wales to Nova Scotia..

The FG TD Tony McLoughlin has tabled a private members bill to ban fracking. There have been two previous motions to ban fracking, the first by People Before Profit and the second by Sinn Fein. However, this third attempt has come from an unexpected quarter -from within the ranks of FG itself. Deputy McLoughlin is indeed correct to want to ban fracking as basically all it does is pollutes the water table indefinitely over a huge area for paltry amounts of gas causing far more harm than good. read full story / add a comment

**Family evicted from Dublin's Regency Hotel win offer of more secure alternative accommodation , 20 hour long picket of Regency Hotel by family and supporters ended.**
The Irish Housing Network has ended their protest outside the Regency Hotel in Dublin following the success of the family in securing alternative accommodation. The Network believes that the success of the family in securing safe alternative accommodation is thanks to the familys persistence and courage in seeking decent accommodation for their family, and the response and level of solidarity shown by members of the public, the north Dublin community and housing groups across the city. These forces stood together in solidarity, putting significant pressure on the homeless services to provide the support previously denied to the family. read full story / add a comment
Public Talk: The Future of the Left in Latin America: Updates from Brazil, Venezuela, Ecuador and Argentina
dublin / worker & community struggles and protests / event notice Sunday June 12, 2016 20:35 by LASC 1 image
Following over a decade of left-leaning governments, the past 6 months have witnessed radical changes in the political status quo in Latin America. Beginning with the election of Right-candidate Mauricio Macri in Argentina, through the controversial removal of Dilma Rousseff in Brazil, to the upheaval in Venezuela and uncertainty in Ecuador, many are speculating that the era of leftist hegemony is coming to an end, and that rightist dominance is returning. This panel of scholars will reflect on the achievements and errors of the Left-wing governments, assess the challenges facing the Left across the region, particularly that emanating from the regional Right, and offer analysis of the Left's future as a social and political force. read full story / add a comment

On the afternoon of June 8th 2016 in Dublin there will be a briefing on CapGlobalCarbon. CapGlobalCarbon is a proposal for non-governmental actors to create a new global system to
(a) make sure the necessary reductions in total global carbon emissions are achieved
(b) reduce emissions in a way that also reduces poverty and inequality.
The system would operate as a back-up to the inter-governmental negotiations and provide vital reinforcement to community-led climate initiatives worldwide.
The purpose of this afternoon is to brief attendees on the proposal, set it in a context of the commons and social justice, and to generate ideas about how to implement CapGlobalCarbon. read full story / add a comment

Unfortunately he hasn't got much traction with the establishment simply because they don't want to listen.

It can be freely downloaded from the People's movement website and this issue has articles covering TTIP and a trade union view on Brexit. Recently Greenpeace published details of secret negotiations between the EU-US which were leaked and they indicated that EU officials had completely sold out to the US on all their corporate agenda demands. The TTIP agreement is by far and away the most undemocratic agreement ever devised and will shred protections of all kinds and oblierate the sovereignty every state that has this imposed on them. However the mainstream rightwing corporate media is not covering what is in TTIP and simply make false statements that it will bring jobs and growth, where the core issues are central to what it means to how society right across both the EU and US is run. Naturally our own mainstream political parties of FG and FF are completely for this corporate power grab of an agreement. read full story / add a comment

The idea of this meeting is to inform people of the secretly negotiated TTIP agreement between the USA and Europe. It is open to all.
We hope to be able to help launch an automonous local Anti TTIP group that can work with unions, political groupings and others to defeat TTIP, by being separate from but co-operative with others. This model has worked with the Water Charges Movement in the area and we hope it can be as strong on TTIP. read full story / add a comment

Henderson Global Investors has launched the Absolute Return Fixed Income OEIC, a mirror version of its offshore absolute return fixed-income fund.
The multi-strategy is taking both directional (long and short) and relative value positions in the global fixed-income market. It will typically have between 70 and 100 holdings and generate alpha from interest rates, emerging market debt, currency and credit.
Daniel Beharall, portfolio manager, said investors who are looking for cash plus returns, but still have a fairly low risk approach, are increasingly seeking absolute return products.
"The decision to launch an OEIC version of the fund is due to the popularity of the offshore product," he said. "The sophisticated UCITS III structure allows us to take positive or negative views on markets, regions, sectors, and individual securities."
Henderson Global manages some £56.2billion (US$98 billion) in total assets.

"We ask for a system of shared responsibility with States and school districts," Harkin said of his bill, S. 1094. "I believe that we are entering an era in which the federal government can work in partnership with States to improve our nation's schools, while continuing to provide a backstop to avoid returning to old ways."
The bill eliminates the "adequate yearly progress" guidelines permanently but still sets education parameters for states and localities and continues to require performance reports for schools.
Also in the Senate, Sen. Kay HaganKay Hagan10 Senate seats most likely to flip in 2016 Senate Republicans are feeling the 'Trump effect' Washington's lobby firms riding high MORE (D-N.C.) proposed legislation awarding grants to encourage state and local educational agencies to increase their use of technology in the classroom. And Sen. Tom UdallTom UdallThe Hill's 12:30 Report Overnight Energy: Senate spending bill takes aim at EPA rules Senate spending bill trims EPA spending, blocks regs MORE (D-N.M.) proposed a bill that would limit penalties for states that fail to maintain funding for educating students with disabilities.
Sen. Marco RubioMarco RubioThe Trail 2016: Warren takes VP batting practice Abortion ruling roils race for the White House, Senate US, Mexico have mutual ambassadors for first time in over a year MORE (R-Fla.) and Rep. Aaron Schock (R-Ill.) proposed a bill together on Tuesday that would streamline and simplify various federal education credits and turn them into a single $2,500 per year tax credit for the first four years of post-secondary education. Their bill would also save money by ending credits for taxpayers who aren't students or who attended school less than half time.
"Unfortunately, our current network of higher education tax incentives only complicates the pursuit of affordable education while also attracting costly abuse and fraud," Rubio said. "Our bill will replace this complex and burdensome tax system with a simple provision to assist eligible students, whether they are pursuing skills training or a university degree."
In the House, members proposed a bipartisan bill aimed at expanding grants for charter schools. The All Students Achieving through Reform (ALL-STAR) Act, from Reps. Jared Polis (D-Colo.) and Tom PetriTom PetriDem bill would make student loan payments contingent on income Black box to combat medical malpractice Two lawmakers faulted, two cleared in House Ethics probes MORE (R-Wis.), would provide incentives for states to lift caps on charter school growth and allow the Department of Education to award grants directly to charter schools that have a successful education record.
"All students should have access to high-quality schools where children can learn, grow, and develop skills that will help them succeed in college and the workforce," Polis said of his bill. "Across the country, high-quality public charter schools are demonstrating that all students can achieve at high levels."
Rep. Tim BishopTim BishopFlint residents hire first K Street firm House moves to vote on .1T package; backup plan in place GOP wants accountability, innovation from accreditation – at least right now MORE (D-N.Y.) introduced legislation aimed at reducing and preventing the spread of fraudulent degrees, while Rep. Judy Chu (D-Calif.) offered a bill aimed at creating new partnerships to boost graduation rates and prepare students for college.
Finally, Rep. Michael Capuano (D-Mass.) proposed a bill to provide death benefits for campus police officers.
The flurry of education bills comes as the House and Senate are working to pass legislation that would keep the interest rate on federally backed student loans as low as possible. The House has passed a bill linking the rate to Treasury rates, while the Senate this week will consider a bill extending the 3.4 percent interest rate for two more years, paid for by closing tax loopholes on companies.

VIDEO: Brexit Vote Fraud Caught on Camera?
Mark Twain once lamented that there were "lies, damned lies and statistics", with the third being the most deceptive at all. I was reminded of this the other evening when examining a "hit piece" that was circulating on Facebook last Friday in the aftermath of the horrific mass murder at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.
I was feeling a bit wonkish and I thought I would look up some statistics on violence and gun ownership around the world. One study I found was from the 2007 Small Arms Survey that dealt with the number of guns per capita in 177 nations around the world. The other was a 2012 U.N. study on the number of intentional homicides in nations around the world.
While I am not a professional statistician, we can conclude one thing: there simply is no correlation between the murder rates and rates of firearms ownership.

I went in for a haircut not really certain of the outcome. A stylist by the name of Antyon Wallace cut my hair and as well lined my mustache and gold-t. I enjoyed the finish results and was wowed at the level of professionalism, care and attention that was poured into my satisfaction. I did pay attention to the interaction of the workers and they were at ease with each other. That simply added to the ambiance of the salon. I highly recomend (as well they have products and accessories to die for).

Facebook launches free internet app for basic online services
New York: Facebook today launched a new app that will enable people with mobile phones around the world to browse health, employment and local information services without data charges.
The `Internet.Org` app will first be available to Airtel subscribers in Zambia and the company plans to roll out the service to other parts of the world.
Zuckerberg said in a post on his Facebook page that `Internet.Org` aims to bring affordable internet access to everyone in the world.
"We believe that every person should have access to free basic internet services - tools for health, education, jobs and basic communication. We are looking forward to bringing free basic services to more countries soon," Zuckerberg said.
Facebook`s Product Management Director Guy Rosen said that currently over 85 per cent of the world`s population lives in areas which has cellular coverage, but only about 30 per cent of the total population accesses the internet.
"Affordability and awareness are significant barriers to internet adoption for many," Rosen said adding that through the app people would be able to browse a set of useful health, employment and local information services without data charges.
"By providing free basic services via the app, we hope to bring more people online and help them discover valuable services they might not have otherwise," Rosen said.
Zuckerberg said the company has been working with mobile operators around the world over the past year to develop the app.
Around three million people have so far been able to access the internet who had no access before.
He said that currently only 15 per cent of people in Zambia have access to the internet and soon everyone would be able to use the internet for free to find jobs, get help with reproductive health and other aspects of health, and use tools like Facebook to stay connected with the people.
"This is a big step forward in achieving the mission of Facebook and Internet.Org," he said.
Through the app, Airtel customers in Zambia woud have basic access to websites that provide information about the weather as well as to Google Search and Wikipedia among others.
Zuckerberg last year had announced the creation of Internet.Org to help improve online access around the world.

CHICAGO – Mention the name Harry Lennix, and images of his many character roles are bound to emerge – Harold Cooper in the TV series "The Blacklist," General Swanwick from "Batman v Superman" and Commissioner Blades from Spike Lee's recent "Chi-Raq." The deeply knowledgeable Lennix brings his years of dramatic expertise, as he directs the Congo Square Theatre Company's world premiere stage play "A Small Oak Tree Runs Red.'
Film Review: Advocacy Film 'Bully' is a Must See, But for Who?
CHICAGO – The age-old problem of bullying has reached epidemic proportions. Or is it simply more openly discussed? It seems that for once a light is being pointed at the dark corners of this punishing coercion, and the perpetrators and enablers involved – the bully, his parents, school administrators – are scurrying from that light. The new film "Bully" is an illumination.
Rating: 4.0/5.0
Hardly a complete documentary, the film projects a point-of-view by telling stories around the country about school kids in the middle of a bully situation, and families who have been affected by the actions of bullies. At the same time, these stories also showcase the underlying issues surrounding the bully situations – blind mice school systems, frustrated parents, the crueler outside world and a justice-system-by-way-of-no-justice. The stories are fraught with sadness and suffering, and have a emotional gut kick. The question after watching this is, who will be most affected by it?
There are five main stories told, three involving kids who are bullied, and two involving the families who are victims of child suicides associated with bullying. All elicit sympathy, especially the suicide families. Alex is a 12-year-old trying to fit in, but is tortured by the same fellow bus passengers. Kelby has come out as a lesbian at 16, but the town she lives in is intolerant. Ja'Meya got sick of the taunting, and brandished a loaded gun on a bus.
The suicide victim families have the heaviest burden. They know that are helpless in the face of their losses, but the way they fight back carries the most inspiration. David and Tina Long shake up a community after the loss of their son Tyler, confronting the authority figures that turned their back on the bullying. Kirk and Laura Smalley start an anti-bullying organization after the loss of their 11-year old son, and in the formation of that community find some peace.
