The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) today announced that it will transfer to participating elementary schools and early childhood development centres an initial amount of more than US$ 370,000 (D 18.5 million) to provide daily meals for up to 60,000 young students. |
The cash transfers will allow more than 122 selected schools to buy food from local markets and smallholder farmers, which will be served to the students as part of a homegrown school feeding programme implemented in partnership with the Gambian Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education. |
Home-grown school meals enable children to eat locally available, diversified and nutritious foods that they are familiar with, and also provide local farmers and businesses with a predictable market for their products, leading to increased enrolment, attendance and retention for school children, while also ensuring st... |
"We want to build a strong foundation in nutritious foods for children at a young age, and by using cash transfers to the schools, we hope to promote local economic development and serve as a driver for social cohesion," said Wanja Kaaria, the Representative and Country Director of WFP in The Gambia. |
Funded through generous contributions from the European Union, the Republic of Korea and the Government of Ireland, this programme helps in fostering sustainable linkages between school meals and consumption of local agricultural produce. It also allows WFP to continue supporting the Gambian Ministry of Basic and Secon... |

Sotheby's named Madison Square Garden Co Chief Executive Tad Smith its CEO, after more than a year of demands from activist investors for big changes that could make the centuries-old auction house more competitive. |
Sotheby's said on Monday that Smith would replace William Ruprecht, who has been CEO since 2000, on March 31. |
The company also said it had separated the roles of chairman and CEO, and that lead independent director Domenico De Sole would take over as chairman. |
Sotheby's said in November that Ruprecht would step down once a successor was found. |
Activist investor Daniel Loeb, whose hedge fund Third Point LLC was Sotheby's largest shareholder as of May 2014, had asked the company to sell its headquarters on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. |
Marcato Capital Management LP, Sotheby's second-largest shareholder, urged the company in February to buy back $500 million of shares immediately and replace Chief Financial Officer Patrick McClymont . |
Loeb, who has likened Sotheby's to an "old master painting in desperate need of restoration," joined the company's board last year after a proxy contest. |
"Smith brings what shareholders want, broad-reaching 'business' experience rather than luxury or art experience which is what (Sotheby's) brand and experts already have," Stifel, Nicolaus & Co analyst David Schick wrote in a note on Monday. |
Sotheby's has reported lower-than-expected quarterly revenue for four of the past eight quarters. |
The company has been seen as a laggard in areas such as contemporary art and technology, where privately owned rival Christies has made inroads with online auctions. |
Under him, Madison Square Garden's net profit more than doubled in the six months ended Dec. 31. |
Sotheby's said last month that there would be no return of capital until it found a new CEO. |
Shares of Sotheby's and Madison Square Garden were not trading before the bell. |
Sotheby's shares closed at $40.53 on Friday on the New York Stock Exchange, while Madison Square Garden's stock ended at $78.19 on the Nasdaq. |
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — For people who despair of living in a neighborhood where you drive into your garage, retreat into your backyard and generally don’t know who your neighbors are, a housing project in its early stages in the Vecinos del Bosque area offers a different way to live. |
Cohousing ABQ, modeled on Acequia Jardin, which is Albuquerque’s only established cohousing community, is under contract to purchase three acres on Gonzales Road SW, next to the bosque, said Marlies Metodi, one of the initiators of the enterprise. She said families, couples and singles have banded together to create a ... |
Metodi, who grew up in a cohousing development in her native Austria, said the idea is for people to know, interact and look out for their neighbors in a way not typically found anymore in many residential neighborhoods. |
“You actually have community,” she said, although she added that the style of living is not for everyone. |
Under the cohousing model, residents own their units, and share common facilities that usually include a communal dining area, a guest cottage and a play room for children. |
After several informational sessions, Cohousing ABQ now has “19 explorers,” each of whom has each kicked in $300 to offset the expense of creating a website and hiring an engineer for the multi-generational community, which envisions 24 homes on the property. “We’re also working with an engineer who did the Acequia Jar... |
Metodi said the development may need a zoning change or special use permit to move forward. Cohousing ABQ representatives will present the concept to the local neighborhood association at an upcoming meeting. |

The historic El Vado Motel greeted Route 66 travelers for many decades after first turning on its neon sign in 1937. Another sign recently was hoisted into place along Central SW to mark the opening of the newly built El Vado Place Apartments. |
Each building has one accessible live/work unit on the ground level. The other 30 units are two-bedroom, two-bath apartments located on the second and third floors. Residents overlook Route 66 and the nearby ABQ BioPark from their apartments as well as from a large shaded roof deck on the second level. It’s designed in... |
The apartment complex, which includes both market rate and affordable units, is 100 percent leased, according to a leasing agent. |
QA Engineering, an Albuquerque engineering and construction firm, has moved into a highly sought-after office/warehouse property, which the firm recently purchased at 1409 Ortiz SE. |
Acquiring the new digs also created an expansion opportunity for QA, which has hired five new employees. |
The property brought multiple offers from several interested parties, said the commercial real estate broker that helped QA negotiate the winning bid. |
“The contemporary design of this building made it the right property for my client. The layout is primarily open office architecture and fit my client’s needs perfectly,” said Shelly Branscom, the NAI Maestas & Ward broker who represented QA. Clay Azar of Metro Commercial Realty was the listing agent. |
Sitting on just under half an acre, the 6,800-square-foot building built in 2013 boasts energy-efficient utilities, controlled access, an elaborate security system and modern design finishes. |

CHICAGO (AP) – The Chicago City Council approved $5 million settlement Wednesday with the family of a teenager killed after being shot by a police officer 16 times last October. |
Federal and county prosecutors and the FBI are investigating the death of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald, who police said was wielding a knife. |
Chicago Corporation Counsel Stephen Patton had recommended the settlement and told reporters that dashboard camera footage of the Oct. 20 shooting prompted the city’s decision to settle with the family before a lawsuit was filed. |
Aldermen voted Wednesday without seeing police dashboard camera video, saying they didn’t need to view footage of the incident. Authorities have declined to release the video of the shooting as several other departments have done recently following other dramatic confrontations involving police. |
The family’s attorney, Mike Robbins, has said a “fair and prompt resolution” was reached without the necessity of litigation. |
The unidentified officer who shot McDonald has been stripped of his police powers and put on paid desk duty, according to a spokesman for Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy. |
English online business news service The Investor (www.theinvestor.co.kr) kicked off on June 14 with the aim of providing global investors with timely, accurate and influential information on Korea’s dynamic business landscape. |
Korean media and lifestyle company Herald Corp. unveiled The Investor at a launching event held at Four Seasons Hotel Seoul. |
More than 130 senior officials from major Korean companies and banks, including Samsung Group, Hyundai Motor Group, SK Group, LG Corp. and POSCO, as well as leading foreign companies and organizations, including the American Chamber of Commerce in Korea, attended the event to witness the beginning of The Investor’s wor... |
The Investor produces more than 100 articles daily, written by a team of reporters from both The Korea Herald and its sister paper Herald Business. |
Real-time disclosure information will be released in English for the first time. |
The main focus of The Investor will be corporate governance issues. |
“South Korean companies has a lot of catching up to do in terms of corporate governance and we plan to shed as much light as we can on those issues,” said Kim Hwa-kyun, publisher of The Investor. |
The service also offers extensive coverage on the stock market, mergers and acquisitions, initial public offerings, as well as the trends and outlooks of budding tech companies and start-ups. |
By the end of 2017, The Investor will increase its article count to 300 after recruiting more staff writers and introducing a story-writing program. By 2018, the number is expected to further rise to 400. |
Kim said the idea for The Investor came about due to the growing presence of foreign investors in Korea. |
There are over 1,900 companies listed on the main bourse KOSPI and the tech-heavy Kosdaq markets, however, their English coverage is only up to around 100 stories a day, according to The Investor’s figures. |
One of The Investor’s key features is its list of 100 richest people in Korea, which includes their personal information, net worth and real estate data. The list will be expanded to the 300 richest people by 2017. |
Ultimately, The Investor aims to become a market changer and driver, Kim said. |
Mobile device security threats, especially targeted at Google Android, increased in 2010, McAfee found in its recent threat report, which also found that malware rose and spam e-mail dropped. |
Mobile device platforms have become the latest and greatest attack point as mobile device security threats rose to new heights in 2010's fourth quarter and will continue into 2011, security researchers said. |
According to the McAfee Threats Report: Fourth Quarter 2010, a growing number of security threats to mobile platforms are emerging as pieces of new mobile malware increased by 46 percent from 2009 to 2010. The report notes that as more consumers use mobile devices and tablets for personal uses and business, cybercrimin... |
"The reason mobile devices have become such a big attack space is because they're being used for so much," Adam Wosotowsky, principal engineer at McAfee Labs, told CRN. |
In the fourth quarter, the main mobile device security threats were the high-profile SymbOS/Zitmo.A and Android/Geinimi, a Trojan inserted into legitimate mobile apps and games on the Google Android mobile platform. |
"For a while the difficult thing to do was to make money off of mobile malware," he said. |
And it appears that Google's Android mobile platform has become a prime target, more so than its mobile OS counterparts from Apple and RIM BlackBerry. Android has bubbled to the top because it has looser restrictions on developing and building applications for the platform. |
"In the case of Android, it's a lot easier to write an application to it," Wosotowsky said. |
At the 2011 Kaspersky Americas Partner Conference last week, Kurt Baumgartner, senior security researcher for Kaspersky Labs said that as the mobile arena grows, exploits and spyware are being aimed at the Android platform. |
"Really clever people are trying to force spyware onto the Droid," he said. |
Baumgartner said the consumerization of IT has led to users leveraging the same device for personal and business tasks, which whets an attacker's appetite. |
"Around mid-2010 was saw increased effort in exploiting software on Android to deliver payloads," he said. "It increases the risk of users interested in using it as a business and personal device." |
Along with the increase in mobile device security threats, McAfee's recent security report also found that malware is on the rise elsewhere, but the type of malware changed in 2010's fourth quarter, with threats more closely matching certain user habits and events specific to a region. |
Overall, McAfee uncovered 20 million new pieces of malware in 2010, equating to nearly 55,000 new malware threats each day. Of the 55 million total pieces of malware McAfee Labs has identified, 26 percent of it was created last year. |
And while malware rose, spam e-mail hit its lowest levels in years -- representing 80 percent of total e-mail traffic in the fourth quarter of 2010, its lowest since the first quarter of 2007. Wosotowsky credited the massive drop in spam e-mail to a transition period -- or calm before the storm -- as several botnets we... |
Additionally, McAfee found that the increase in the types of devices that access the Internet, like tablets, smartphones and Internet TV devices, has lead to more Web-based threats and those threats will continue to grow in size and sophistication as the number of devices increases. Threats like Zeus-Murofet, Conficker... |
Cybercriminals also leveraged popular search terms to carry out their attacks. McAfee found that within the top 100 results of the top daily search terms, 51 percent led to malicious sites and on average each of poisoned results page had more than five malicious links that would perform a drive-by download. McAfee said... |
Adobe products, too, continued to be a major malware distribution medium for cybercriminals in 2010, as malware developers exploited weaknesses in Flash and PDF technologies. Adobe attacks will also continue to evolve and grow, as more devices support Flash and PDFs, Wosotowsky said. |
Florida has been a hotbed of breakthrough rap artists in recent years and YK Osiris is putting his bid in to be next in line. However, he's an artist more on the singing tip. Straight outta Jacksonville, the 20-year-old entertainer is a double threat, with vocal chops to back up his slick braggadocios raps. Still a pup... |
From there, things have been on an upward trajectory. YK’s March 2018 single “Valentine” garnered 36 million streams on YouTube and yielded a remix featuring Lil Uzi Vert. Def Jam took notice and signed the up-and-comer to a deal in May of last year. The Floridian is showing no signs of slowing down as he preps the rel... |
