O general João Lourenço, Presidente angolano, presume-se que em sintonia com o Presidente do MPLA e com o Titular do Poder Executivo, defendeu hoje – numa verdadeira descoberta da roda – a necessidade de se apostar nos jovens para o “salto decisivo” na economia e no desenvolvimento integral do país, considerando que a diversificação económica deve acontecer “mais facilmente” com as novas tecnologias. Diz o general João Lourenço que “vivemos actualmente num mundo digital, dominado pelas tecnologias de informação e comunicação, com inteligência artificial, com os seus méritos e ameaças em franco crescimento, domínios onde os mais jovens se sentem à vontade pela facilidade de aprendizagem e adaptação mais rápida que tem”. Falando na abertura do IX Congresso Ordinário da JMPLA, braço juvenil do partido no poder em Angola há 49, o chefe de Estado disse que com as tecnologias de informação, digitalização e industrialização “mais facilmente” o país deve...

In the name of we the people, as far back as the late 70s when John Compton was monarch of all he surveyed, I had to small avail demanded “transparency and accountability” in all matters related to governance. I took the cri de guerre with me in 1997 when I openly campaigned with Kenny Anthony’s Saint Lucia Labour Party for the removal of Compton’s surrogate prime minister Vaughan Lewis. I continued to demand as an SLP senator public transparency and accountability following the SLP’s unprecedented 16-1 election victory—and for that was given the boot, along with two other senators who had dared to echo my demands in relation to the unforgettable Helen Air debacle. On September 15, 2009 3 perished in the St. Jude Hospital fire. 15 years on and many million dollars later, the constituents of the South are no closer to a permanent home for the Hospital. Of...

LONDON: A leading physicist of Jamaican heritage is promoting a funding scheme designed to increase the number of black science professors in the United Kingdom (UK). Dr Mark Richards, a physics researcher and senior teaching fellow at Imperial College, is urging black researchers to apply for the second round of funding from the Royal Society Career Development Fellowship (CDF) this month. The CDF will provide £690,000 over four years to each selected researcher who is completing or has recently completed a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD). Commenting on the CDF, Richards said: “There are many reasons scientists from marginalised groups may leave academia. Often it’s because they’re looking ahead and not seeing themselves reflected in those spaces.” The physicist added: “This scheme, which offers funding, mentoring, and recognition from a body like the Royal Society, can be the endorsement to propel these eight excellent academics to go on and grow their...
