America's Commitment to Volunteerism and Service

By Valerie Jarrett, Neil Bush, Michelle Nunn

The first immigrants to America came seeking freedom, but they survived — and, in time, came to thrive — because of their determination and because of each other. They valued self-reliance, but in times of strife they also knew could rely on neighbors, friends, sometimes even strangers to offer a helping hand.

That neighbor-helping-neighbor spirit is woven into the DNA of the American spirit. It defines in a very real sense who we are as a people.

It also unites us.

That unity was on vivid display this Monday when President Obama welcomed the man who launched the modern service movement, President George H. W. Bush, back to the White House to honor the recipients of the 5,000th Daily Point of Light award. Together, they lauded Kathy Hamilton and Floyd Hammer of Union, Iowa for stepping up to fight hunger and improve the lives of children worldwide.

Nearly 10 years ago, Hamilton and Hammer participated in a volunteer mission to Tanzania to help renovate an HIV/AIDS hospital there. Startled by the starvation they saw, the couple started Outreach, Inc., which has engaged thousands of volunteers in packaging and distributing 230 million free meals to children in more than 15 countries, including the United States.

Their story is a simple one: Two people decided that they simply had to do something. Telling that story, day in and day out, is what the Daily Point of Light Award is all about.

President Bush was the first president in U.S. history to institute a daily presidential recognition program from the White House, conferring 1,020 Daily Point of Light Awards between 1990 and 1993. And President Bush helped launch a nonprofit – Points of Light – that has become the largest organization in the world dedicated to volunteer service.

While he didn't originate the notion of helping our fellow man, he reasserted it as a national priority and insisted that “there can be no definition of a successful life that does not include service to others.”

President Obama built on this commitment to service when he signed the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act in 2009, which will increase the size of AmeriCorps from 75,000 volunteers to 250,000 by 2017. In 2012, the President created the FEMA Corps program, which established a FEMA-dedicated unit of AmeriCorps members to work solely on disaster preparedness, response and recovery efforts — and he launched the Serve.gov platform to make it easier for Americans to find and post local volunteer opportunities.

DR Congo says 130 dead in army-rebel clashes

At least 130 people have been killed, including 10 soldiers, in ongoing clashes between army forces and rebels in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, the government said Monday.

“Our forces have inflicted very heavy losses on the M23 fighters, 120 have been killed and 12 captured,” government spokesman Lambert Mende said, referring to fighting that broke out over the weekend.

Mende said that 10 soldiers had also died in the clashes, which erupted on Sunday in North Kivu province between the Congolese army and the M23 rebels.

UN soldiers did not intervene, Mende stressed.

“The toll from these skirmishes is not yet definitive but until now the army forces have responded with bravery and efficiency to this attack,” said Mende.

Army forces also managed to recapture previously rebel-held positions as they fled, said the spokesman.

Some 2,000 soldiers were reportedly deployed during the fighting but Mende declined to confirm this figure.

A heavily armed brigade of some 3,000 UN troops with more power to fight renegade forces than ever before has recently been dispatched to the region.

The troops, drawn in equal numbers from Malawi, South Africa and Tanzania, are joining about 17,000 UN soldiers already deployed in the area with a limited mandate to protect civilians and themselves only.

Trial of Kenya deputy president to start in Hague

The International Criminal Court has rejected a request by Kenya’s deputy president to hold the start of his crimes against humanity trial in Kenya or Tanzania.

Deputy President William Ruto is charged together with journalist Joshua Arap Sang with the murder, forcible deportation and persecution of supporters of political opponents after their country’s disputed 2007 presidential election. Both men insist they are innocent and are due to go on trial in The Hague from Sept. 10.

The three-judge panel preparing for their trial said last month “it may be desirable” to hold the start and parts of the trial in Kenya or Tanzania, but at a plenary meeting all the court’s judges rejected the move.

Court registrar Herman von Hebel said Monday the decision was “in the interests of justice.”

Morocco eliminate Tunisia in African Nations Championship

African Nations Championship (CHAN) holders Tunisia were eliminated this weekend in the first qualifying round.

They drew 0-0 away to Morocco in the second leg, but fell 1-0 on aggregate after losing at home last Saturday.

Packed with stars from CAF title-winning clubs Esperance, Etoile Sahel, CS Sfaxien, Club Africain and CA Bizertin, Tunisia were expected to advance.

But a last-minute breakaway goal from striker Abdessamad Mbarki in Mediterranean resort Sousse proved decisive over two defence-dominated games.

Tunisia won the second edition of the tournament for home-based footballers with a 3-0 drubbing of Angola in Sudan two years ago.

But coach Nabil Maaloul chose only goalkeeper Farouk Ben Mustapha from the title-winning squad to confront the Moroccans.

The 16-nation 2014 tournament is scheduled for January 11-February 1 in South Africa and Morocco will appear at the finals for the first time.

South Africa qualify automatically as hosts and Ghana and Libya have secured places after opponents Benin and Algeria withdrew.

Uganda are set to join them after building a 1-0 away advantage over Tanzania in an east Africa derby.

Midfielder Brian Majwega was the architect of the 48th-minute winner, setting up defender Denis Iguma to fire across goalkeeper Juma Kaseja into the net.

Tanzania had more possession in the eagerly anticipated Dar es Salaam showdown, but were let down by woeful finishing.

Mrisho Ngasa was repeatedly off target with long-range shots and striker John Bocco also disappointed when offered scoring opportunities.

It was the third consecutive victory for Serb coach Milutin Sredojevic since succeeding sacked Scot Bobby Williamson as Uganda coach last month.

He guided the ‘Cranes’ to World Cup qualifying wins over Liberia and Angola, and a victory over Senegal during September would take them to the play-offs.

However, Sredojevic cautioned against premature celebrations, especially given the Ugandan habit of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

“By winning the first leg we have got only the passports for South Africa and now we need to get the visas by winning the return match,” he told reporters.

Ethiopia host Rwanda later on Sunday in the remaining fixture this weekend with second-leg fixtures scheduled for late July.

Official: Tanzania shocked by Darfur killings

Tanzania’s deputy foreign minister says the killing of seven Tanzanian peacekeepers in Sudan’s western region of Darfur is “shocking to Tanzania.”

Mahadhi Juma Maalim said Sunday that Tanzanian officials were yet to get full details of the ambush Saturday in which 17 others were also wounded in the deadliest single attack on international peacekeepers in Sudan. He said the assault on the joint African Union-United Nations peacekeepers was by a large group of men with machine guns.

Maalim said the government was studying the situation in Darfur and would notify families of the slain soldiers.

Tanzania has recently become more active in regional peacekeeping missions. Last year it was the first to offer to send troops to eastern Congo under what will become an offensive brigade of U.N. peacekeepers there.

Tanzanians see official hand in elephant poaching

Pratik Patel gazed glumly as the herder’s scrawny brown dogs moved between piles of bones to eat the rotting elephant flesh. He pointed to the nearby road and wondered aloud: How could poachers kill an elephant just 5 kilometers (3 miles) from Tanzania‘s main safari highway?

Conservationists have long warned of the existential danger that poachers pose to Africa‘s elephants. And it’s in Tanzania, home of the Serengeti game reserve and one of the world’s two largest elephant populations, that the scale of the killings and the involvement of government employees may be the most chilling.

The three elephant corpses seen by an Associated Press reporter eight weeks ago lay in a game park just a few miles from a busy junction outside Arusha, a city of 500,000 people.

“Twenty-four elephants were shot within 10 square miles over the last three months. Thirty miles from here there are another 26 carcasses,” said Patel, a safari tour operator trying to raise the alarm about the country’s dying elephants. “And this is just a teaser. If we go to southern Tanzania I can show you 70 carcasses in one day,” he said, referring to the Selous, the world’s largest game reserve.

The man tasked with saving Tanzania‘s elephants is Khamis Suedi Kagasheki, minister for natural resources and tourism. Patel believes Kagasheki, a former intelligence officer, is trying hard to beat the poachers, but is up against a government cabal unwilling to give up illegal profits.

Much of the demand for ivory is in Asia, especially China, luring poachers across Africa to slay the giants and cut out their tusks for rewards far beyond the daily wage. According to CITES, the international body that monitors endangered species, the illegal ivory trade has more than doubled since 2007.

Every week brings new reports of elephant deaths and the government workers alleged to have killed them — soldiers, game wardens, police, customs officials, all complicit in the killings of the top tourism treasure for this poor East African nation of 50 million people.

Botswana, the Central African Republic, Chad, Congo and Kenya are also suffering from elephant poaching. But Iain Douglas-Hamilton, the founder of the London-based nonprofit Save The Elephants, says he is most worried about Tanzania‘s because of its huge population — somewhere between 40,000 and 70,000.

Poaching here “is far bigger than is happening anywhere else

Why Ophir Energy, Dunelm, and Sirius Minerals Lagged the FTSE 100 Today

By Alan Oscroft, The Motley Fool

Filed under:

LONDON — The FTSE 100 was going steady today until the last couple of hours of trading, when it spiked to close 1.17% higher at 6,387 points, thanks in part to the mining and banking sectors. That comes after slower inflation in China helped Asian and U.S. markets to higher finishes yesterday, though there are still fears of overheating consumer demand in China.

Although the index rose today, there are always individual shares falling. Here are three that slipped today.

Ophir Energy
Shares in Ophir Energy dropped 2.8% even though the firm upped its resource estimates for its Jodari field in Tanzania by 700 billion cubic feet to 4.1 trillion cubic feet. The company is also planning a drill stem test at its Mzia-2 field, scheduled for completion by the end of the month. Once these testing phases are complete, Ophir plans to start drilling at its Ngisi prospect, and it has also secured a drilling ship for its Starfish-1 well off the shore of Ghana.

Dunelm
Soft-furnishings retailer Dunelm Group announced a 15.4% rise in third-quarter revenue, with like-for-like sales up 5.2% — and the share price fell 0.8% to 841 pence! The outlook for the rest of the year is behind the fall: Q3 figures were boosted by a late end to the firm’s winter sale and an early Easter. Chief executive Nick Wharton warned, “We anticipate that sales growth in like for like stores will become much harder to achieve in the remainder of the current financial year,” compared with a strong final quarter last year.

Sirius Minerals
Potash miner Sirius Minerals saw its shares drop by 1.2% to 21.5 pence today despite positive results from coring tests at its York Potash project — the company has found 58 meters of 88% polyhalite within a total length of 72.4 metres. In the words of chief executive Chris Fraser, “These preliminary results provide further confirmation of the volume, quality and consistency of the York Potash polyhalite orebody.”

Finally, reliable dividends can more than compensate for the day-to-day ups and downs of share prices. So how about a company that’s offering a 5.7% yield and could be set for some nice share-price appreciation, too? It’s the subject of our brand-new report “The Motley Fool’s Top Income Share For 2013,” which you can get completely free of charge — but it will only be available for a limited period, so click here to get your copy today.

Groups: Tanzania gov't kicking Maasai off land

Activists say Tanzania‘s government is preparing to kick Maasai tribesmen off their land near the country’s most famous wildlife park to allow a company from the United Arab Emirates to use the land for hunting.

Tanzania‘s Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism announced last week it is shrinking the size of the Loliondo Game Controlled Areas.

Sarah Gilbertz of Survival International said the land is leased to the Ortello Business Corporation of the United Arab Emirates to use for trophy hunting.

Will Davies, spokesman for the activist group Avaaz, said up to 68,000 Maasai villagers could be driven off their land. Avaaz posted a petition on its website to help the Maasai. It had more than 1.1 million signatures Friday.

Panasonic Launches 100 THOUSAND SOLAR LANTERN PROJECT

OSAKA, Japan–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Panasonic Corporation (TOKYO:6752) deploys the 100 THOUSAND SOLAR LANTERN PROJECT, a project to donate a total of 100,000 solar lanterns to people in regions of the world without electricity, by 2018, the 100th anniversary of the company’s founding. As the first stage in this effort, Panasonic donated 3,000 Compact Solar Lights (CSLs) to NGOs helping to solve social challenges in Myanmar in February 2013. In March 2013, Panasonic donated an additional 5,000 CSLs to NGOs and social enterprises in India, and then, plans to donate 2,000 CSLs*1 to refugees in Kenya.

About 100 THOUSAND SOLAR LANTERN PROJECT

Currently, there are about 1.32 billion people worldwide living without electricity, mainly in developing countries in Asia and Africa*2. Many homes in these regions use kerosene lamps for lighting, but they pose the risk of fire and the smoke released by them is harmful to human health. Since they do not provide sufficient light, activities of people are significantly restricted at night. The lack of electric light in these regions means challenges in the areas of healthcare, education and the economy.

To help solve these challenges, Panasonic has been promoting corporate citizenship projects by utilizing its core competence. In April 2011, Panasonic donated 1,000 solar lanterns to Tanzania through a UN agency, followed by 2,000 lanterns to Cambodia through 15 NGOs in March 2012. Thanks to the bright light of these lanterns, users can effectively carry out healthcare, education, and economic activities even at night without health risks. Some households have reported lower expenses since they do not have to buy kerosene.

Toward 2018, Panasonic will continue to donate solar lanterns to developing countries. The company is striving to help improve living conditions in these regions and to help achieve the UN Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

Death toll in Tanzania building collapse rises to 30

The death toll from a collapsed building in Tanzania‘s largest city rose to 30 early Monday, according to a government statement.

Rescue workers have given up hope of finding more survivors after the 16-story building in Dar es Salaam collapsed Friday morning.

Only 17 people were pulled out of the rubble alive Friday.

The building, which was about to be completed, did not have tenants. Most of those killed were laborers and people passing by. The dead included children who were playing soccer at a nearby playground.

Witnesses say many construction workers are still missing.

In recent years, building collapses have become frequent in East African countries as some property developers bypass regulations to cut costs.

Death toll at 18 in Tanzania building collapse

Tanzanian police say 18 people were killed when a building collapsed Friday in Dar es Salaam, the country’s largest city.

Police commissioner Meshak Saddik said Saturday poor equipment had hampered rescue efforts and that there was little hope of pulling any more survivors from the debris. He said more than 60 people may be trapped under the rubble.

Officials said the building was about to be completed and did not have tenants. Most of the people caught up in the collapse of the 12-story building were laborers as well as those passing by or loitering nearby. Saddik said three engineers who worked on the building were being questioned.

Tanzania police: 2 dead after building collapse

A Tanzanian police official says two people have died after a building under construction collapsed in the country’s largest city and economic center.

Suleiman Kova, the police commander in charge of Dar es Salaam, said Friday 17 people have been pulled out of the debris, with three seriously injured.

Kova says the building was in the final stages of its construction and it did not have tenants. Most of the people caught up in the collapse of the 12-story building were passing by.

In recent years building collapses have become more frequent in East African countries. In neighboring Kenya, experts say because of high demand for housing in Nairobi, some property developers often bypass building regulations to cut costs and maximize profits.

A diplomatic star is born in Chinese first lady

New Chinese first lady Peng Liyuan is emerging as Chinese diplomacy’s latest star.

A well-known performer on state television, the glamorous Peng featured prominently in Sunday’s state media coverage of President Xi Jinping‘s activities in Russia. The visit is Xi’s first since assuming the presidency earlier this month.

The trip, which continues this week with stops in Tanzania, South Africa, and Congo, also marks Peng’s debut in her new role as first lady. Though known for her performances and volunteer work with the World Health Organization, Peng largely receded from public life after Xi was made heir-apparent in 2007.

Peng cuts a very different figure from past Chinese first ladies, who were mostly invisible at home and attracted little attention while accompanying their husbands on state visits abroad.

3 Key Regions for Energy Development

By Aimee Duffy, The Motley Fool

Filed under:

The success of employing new technology to exploit unconventional sources in the U.S. can sometimes distract us from the world energy picture. Discoveries of oil and gas in foreign lands can and will impact the state of American energy, however. With that in mind, let’s take a look at energy development in three very different places: East Africa, New Zealand, and Colombia.

East Africa
The story about East Africa‘s offshore natural gas reserves has been growing for quite some time. Like any good story, the numbers and size of the reserves in question grow as it gets told more often. Except unlike most fables, these outsized numbers aren’t borne of exaggeration but of more drilling and a growing number of new discoveries. The region’s reserves are so highly sought after that in the past week alone there were three separate announcements involving some of the biggest oil companies in the world.

Last week, Italian energy company Eni announced that it was selling a 20% stake in its Area 4 project offshore Mozambique to China National Petroleum Corporation for $4.2 billion. CNPC is China‘s largest oil and gas company. A state-owned operation, it is also the parent of the publicly traded PetroChina. Area 4 is thought to hold 75 trillion cubic feet of gas.

Also last week, ExxonMobil and Norway’s Statoil discovered gas at their third deepwater well in Block 2, offshore Tanzania. With a 65% working interest in the project, Statoil is the operator and has completed five wells in the block over the last 15 months. Estimates now place the total gas reserves at 15 tcf to 17 tcf (trillion cubic feet).

Finally, Russian gas company Gazprom announced yesterday that it was also seeking a stake in Eni’s Area 4 project. Talks are only in the early stages, but expect this deal to continue to develop as Russian President Vladimir Putin travels to Africa for the BRICS summit next week.

New Zealand
At the beginning of the year, I wrote about Shell’s efforts to conduct seismic surveys offshore New Zealand in its quest for oil. This time, the story is about natural gas.

New Zealand is self-sufficient with its natural gas production. The country’s 20 natural gas fields generated about 1.5 tcf in 2011. The government’s Petroleum Action Plan aims to increase the development of these resources. Currently, gas production contributes roughly $2 billion to the country’s GDP.

So far, the plan seems to be working. Improving production results allowed Canadian company Methanex to announce it was increasing capacity at its New Zealand methanol plants. The company will boost capacity in the country by 700,000 metric tons by the end of the year, for a total of 2.2 million metric tons. The increase will necessitate restarting one facility and expanding another.

Colombia
Colombia has been on the radar of many investors because of the country’s commitment to growing its oil production. In 2006, production sat at 529,000 barrels per day. As …read more

Fossil Footprint Study Casts Doubt On Theory Of Early Humans’ Gait

By The Huffington Post News Editors

By: Tia Ghose, LiveScience Staff Writer
Published: 03/19/2013 08:07 PM EDT on LiveScience

Fossil footprints could provide a skewed view of how ancient animals — including early human ancestors similar to the famous Lucy fossil — walked, new research suggests.

In the past, paleontologists and anthropologists assumed the depth of the footprint correlated with the pressure used to create it. But the analysis, published today (March 19) in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface, reveals that the heel tends to create a deeper indentation even when applying the same amount of pressure.

“We shouldn’t necessarily expect the shape of a footprint to directly reflect the way the animal that made it walked,” said study co-author Karl Bates, a biomechanics researcher at the University of Liverpool in the United Kingdom.

As a result, some conclusions about how early human ancestors walked upright may need some rethinking, Bates said. [10 Greatest Mysteries of the First Humans]

Walking pressure

Fossil footprints have the potential to reveal insights into how ancient animals and people moved. For instance, Laetoli, Tanzania, bears the traces of 3.6-million-year-old footprints of the first bipedal walkers, Australopithecus afarensis, the same species as the female skeleton nicknamed Lucy.

But deciphering the ancient marks to recreate human ancestors’ gait is tricky. Historically, scientists assumed the depth of the indentation directly correlated with the pressure placed at that spot. But testing that experimentally was difficult, as the force plates that measure foot-strike pressure are made of materials that don’t deform and leave footprints.

Computer model

To get a more thorough look, Bates and his colleagues created a computer model that simulated the pressure of various sizes of feet as they depressed different types of soils with various strikes.

They then asked 10 people to walk along the beach in Brighton, on the south coast of Great Britain, and measured their footprints. The same people then walked on a force-measuring treadmill, and the researchers correlated the footprint depth with pressure during walking.

Both methods found similar trends: different parts of the foot create different size indentations even when striking the ground with the same amount of pressure.

“The heel is a more effective indenter than the forefoot and the toes,” Bates told LiveScience.

The softer the walking surface, the more exaggerated this effect.

While the researchers focused on human gait, the new analysis should also apply to dinosaur prints and other extinct animal tracks, Bates said.

Ancient walkers

The study is impressive because it cleverly combined sophisticated computer models and experimental approaches, said Kristiaan D’Août, a biomechanics researcher at the University of Antwerp who was not involved in the study.

“They’re two totally different techniques, but they both yielded overall rather similar results,” D’Août told LiveScience.

The findings suggest there’s a much more complicated relationship between foot pressure and footprint depth, which could force scientists to …read more

Starbucks Launches New Costa Rican Research Center

By Kevin Chen, The Motley Fool

Filed under:

Starbucks  will launch a new agronomy center in Costa Rica to improve farming sustainability and provide insights into future Starbucks blends. The move is part of the company’s $70 million ethical sourcing program as well as its billion-dollar commitment to ethically sourcing 100% of its coffee by 2015.

Starbucks’ new agronomy center will be converted from a 240-hectare farm near Poas Volcano. The terms of the purchase won’t be disclosed until the final closing in May.

Specifically, the farm will further Starbucks’ Coffee and Farming Equity practices (C.A.F.E.), an ethical sourcing model that balances coffee quality with social, environmental, and economic impacts. Home to agronomists and quality experts, the center will also look into soil management processes and how it may affect future coffee varietals, or blends, for Starbucks. Researchers are also interested in how the farm‘s varied elevation may affect responsible growing practices. 

The new Costa Rican facility will add to Starbucks’ global goals to directly improve farmer livelihoods and a long-term supply of high-quality coffee for the industry. Currently, the company has five other farmer support centers in Rwanda, Tanzania, Colombia, China, and San Jose (Costa Rica).
