Facts | Africa | 21 Hot Facts about the Sahara Desert
21 Hot Facts about the Sahara Desert
The Sahara Desert is huge, iconic and breathtaking. It's located in North Africa and covers large portions of the continent, but how much do you really know about this sandy region Here are 21 interesting facts about the Sahara Desert…
The Sahara is the world's largest sand desert…
…although the North and South poles are actually bigger and are also classed as deserts.
It measures 3.6 million square miles…
…which makes it bigger than the USA!
The desert actually expands and then contracts as the seasons change throughout the year.
Scientists estimate it has grown 10% in the last 100 years.
The Sahara gets its name from "sahra", an Arabic word which means desert.
The Sahara Desert reaches 11 countries, and includes Algeria, Chad, Egypt, Libya, Mali, Mauritania, Morocco, Niger, Sudan and Tunisia.
And covers one third of the continent.
Only 25% of the desert is covered with sandy dunes.
There are a number of mountain ranges if you know where to look.
Incredibly, snow has been seen on their peaks from time to time!
The highest point is Mount Koussi in Chad. It's an extinct volcano.
The tallest dunes rise 180 metres above ground level.
There are an estimated 2.5 million people that call Sahara their home. Most of these people have Arabic or Berber roots and live in settlements located near sources of water. Some also have a nomadic lifestyle.
A vital part of Ancient Africa's economy was the trade routes of the Sahara. Gold, copper and salt were some of the goods that were transported using camel caravans. It's recorded that there were up to 12,000 camel caravans travelling between Egypt and Sudan at one time.
Being the hottest desert in the world, the Sahara has one of the harshest climates. The hottest temperature ever recorded in the area was 58°C. Despite popular beliefs surround the Sahara Desert and its constant hot climate, the temperatures drop significantly during the night due to low humidity.
The desert is more than just sand, as it consists of rocky plateaus, sand dunes, dry valleys and salt flats. There are a total of 20 lakes in the desert, and the only freshwater lake in Sahara is Lake Chad.
Saharan dunes can reach a staggering 180 meters in height.
The Sahara Desert has changed significantly over the years. Although hard to believe, the desert was full of greenery and was home to a variety of animals and plants. However, the Sahara we know now occurred due to the slow change in the tilt of the Earth. It is believed that the Sahara will go back to its previous state sometime in the future.
Stargazing, quad biking, trekking and sand surfing are some of the many activities that you can do in Sahara.

Why India Is Not a Model for the Nearshore
Sean Goforth
In Latin America the respect for India's outsourcing sector verges on reverence. The region was a latecomer on the outsourcing scene, and while it is growing fast, Latin America still accounts for less than 10% of global BPO/ITO activity. So the rose-tinted view is easy to understand. In the process of fashioning the business of global services outsourcing, Indian heritage firms created millions of good, middle-class jobs. The business model is the envy of other countries in the developing world.
For sure, the central element of India's success in business process outsourcing — an immense pool of human technical talent combined with English language skills — warrants high praise. But Latin America, and Mexico in particular, where the fascination runs especially deep, needs to get over India as a model for business services,for two big reasons.
First, India's rise to BPO behemoth owes in large part to the uniquely broken economy that the country had until recently. In the early 1990s, India was a country shaking off the effects of the Permit Raj, a labyrinth of regulations and licenses that made doing business in India (legal business, in any case) a nightmare of paperwork and bribes. Stories occasionally still crop up of an obscure regulation put in place 50 or 100 years ago that's enriching a small group of inspectors by legally preventing common-sense handyman fixes. Atop this, the country was cut off from foreign inputs and technology because of high tariffs.
The services sector, however, faced relatively fewer restrictions. Indian entrepreneurs collectively formed an understanding that they should focus their energy on business services, because the structure of the economy all but prevented them from channeling their prowess into sectors like manufacturing. Infosys and Tata Consultancy Services were among the first to harness this entrepreneurial energy and exploit it, thus becoming successful global firms.
Second, even in India the future of business services is more in question than ever. The offshore model that India epitomized relied heavily upon labor arbitrage, and while India is still cheaper than many other offshore locales, the margin is shrinking fast. For example, in 2012 a junior-level software developer made about $25,000 a year in India, according to a recent article in the Wall Street Journal. Now though, that same programmer is making about $45,000. As more venture capital funds software development, programmer wages are set to continue rising at a fast clip, making the key Indian markets more expensive for software development than many nearshore markets.
With regard to classic business processes, India's major outsourcing firms have a lost a step to their U.S. and European peers when it came to embracing the cloud. Now, as the recognition sets in, Indian engineers are plying their trade by moving applications into the cloud. The outsourcing model is moving into the "as-a-service" paradigm. The final reckoning is still a ways off, and the balance sheets of the majors paint a positive, if misleading, indicator of corporate health. But the warning signs are there. The days of Indian BPO, defined by human performance of rote billing processes and the like, are nearing an end.
Indeed, in its own way, the Indian government seems to share this view. Instead of BPO fueling the country's future economic growth, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is emphasizing manufacturing through his "Make in India" campaign.

This does not spell doom and gloom for outsourcers. Actually, in many ways the business services model is tacking in favor of the nearshore. Regular and real-time interaction among programmers, epitomized by Agile software development methodologies, is becoming a key trait of successful software development. Consumer trends could drive rapid growth of video game development in Mexico, just as demand for niche BPO, including knowledge and legal services, promises opportunity for firms from Uruguay to Jamaica. Going forward, outsourcing will be less about cost and more about having the right talent at the right place in order to deliver in-demand services.
There are inklings of Indian BPO moving toward the United States. Earlier this year the Times of India reported on the growing trend of CEOs of Indian global services firms moving their offices to the U.S. The article noted that the companies in question (Wipro, Infosys, and Cognizant) made the move because of a "need to build deeper engagements with key customers as Indian IT's competitiveness vis-à-vis global players diminishes and as mobile and cloud transform the technology world."
Across the nearshore, we tend to coo at quadrant graphics whenever they show the leading position of Indian heritage firms. Among the most impressed in Latin America are some firms in Mexico. They express a high regard for Indian businesses that often seems to be followed by a silent question: "Why don't we have that?" The Mexicans should console themselves with the fact that they have an economy that is more competitive globally than India's.
For Latin America as a whole to move forward in the delivery of global services, creating good jobs and moving up the value chain, it will have to forge its own path. They should draw the best lessons that India offers — the focus on technical education and directing those with that education toward good careers in business — and look beyond the Banga-lore of India's outsourcing prowess.

Das Kabinett Jaup bildete vom 16. Juli 1848 bis 28. Juni 1850 die von Großherzog Ludwig III. berufene Landesregierung des Großherzogtums Hessen. Es handelte sich um eine liberale Märzregierung. Die Niederschlagung der Revolutionsbewegung im Jahr 1849 stärkte die konservativen Kräfte und den Landesfürsten. Schon die Ministerwechsel Ende des Jahres 1848 und im Laufe des Jahres 1849 in den Ressorts Finanzen, Justiz und Krieg, gaben der Regierung eine stärker konservative Richtung. Im Sommer 1850 blockierte die liberale Mehrheit der Landstände die Verabschiedung des Staatshaushalts, sodass Ludwig III. die Regierung entließ. Mit der dadurch ausgelösten Ernennung einer antirevolutionär-konservativen Regierung begann im Großherzogtum Hessen die Reaktionsära.

Das Kriegsministerium war organisatorisch getrennt vom Gesamtministerium direkt dem Großherzog unterstellt.

With great data growth comes great responsibility.
Ensuring peak performance is a top priority.
DBAs have their heads in the cloud.
34% of DBAs cite increased flexibility as a motivator for moving from on premise to the cloud.
Enterprise monitoring can be expensive, complex, not retain enough history and take too much time to deploy and maintain.
What if you could have a solution capable of monitoring your on premise and cloud workloads and carrying months of performance data?
When your servers fail or slow down, every second counts. Most monitoring systems only tell you when a metric has breached a threshold.
What if your performance monitoring did more than just tell you there is a problem and it actually started the diagnostics process for you?
The same issue occurs over and over again?
There's no easier way to lose credibility than to declare an issue resolved, only to see it re-occur again. Most solutions focus on the symptom.

Australia: Super greenhouse boosts yield in climate extremes
Researchers are working to arm Australia's protected cropping growers with the infrastructure to secure the highest possible commercial-yields with minimal energy, labour, nutrients and water outputs.
This week, Horticulture Innovation Australia and Western Sydney University led an industry tour of the construction of a $3.5 million Greenhouse Research and Education Training Facility, which comprises eight plant growth chambers and around 12kms of control cables.
Each chamber is individually controlled with adjustable light, humidity, temperature and carbon dioxide settings, giving researchers the opportunity to determine the best possible growth environment for Australia's unique climate conditions.
Western Sydney University researcher Prof David Tissue said traditionally, a lot of protected cropping equipment and technology used in Australia has been imported. This greenhouse, which has been developed with the Netherlands-based world-leading agriculture university, Wageningen (WUR), will help determine the optimum requirements for local conditions.
"This greenhouse is the first of its kind in Australia, with the nearest known equivalent facility being in the Netherlands," he said. "For the first time, it will allow us to test the interacting and separate factors that affect the growth of various produce types."
As part of the research, various crop covering materials will be tested to measure the effects of different light spectrums on plant growth and energy balance. Each growth chamber will also have the capacity to operate under open, semi-closed or closed conditions, which can benefit or decrease productivity, depending on the crop type and other environmental elements.
Hort Innovation fund manager Greg Murdoch said the greenhouse research will offer significant benefits to industry.
"This state-of-the-art greenhouse facility will help industry maximise its returns through the delivery of new, ground-breaking insights into how to use protected cropping to get the best possible return," he said.
The facility will have a strong education and training focus, with Western Sydney University working with WUR and industry to develop career-ready graduates and share learnings with industry.
"This greenhouse and its associated training programs will provide learning opportunities for horticulture professionals at all stages of their careers. It will also provide significant resources for the next generation of growers, showcasing that horticulture is an innovative and exciting industry to join," Mr Murdoch said.
Crops grown will be those typically produced using protected cropping in Australia, such as cucumber, strawberry, capsicum, eggplant, lettuces and other vegetables. In the long term, there are also possibilities for high-value crops such as herbal and medicinal plants that are beneficial to the Australian horticulture industry and growers.
Courses associated with the greenhouse are expected to be announced after construction is completed in 2017.

by David NdichuOctober 02, 2018, 01:33 PM
Speakers who will be discussing the latest in cybersecurity and how regional organisations can protect themselves.
After an eight-year hiatus, the HITB Security Conference series is returning to the Middle East with the support of government organisations, taking place from November 25th to the 28th 2018 at the Grand Hyatt in Dubai.
Featuring two days of technical training courses followed by a two-day multi-track conference, the event will also feature a Capture the Flag competition, technology exhibition with a focus area on IoT and blockchain related tech, space for makers and hackerspaces as well as a car hacking and hardware related village. The event also includes the CommSec track, a free-to-attend track of 30 and 60-minute talks that will also be live-streamed on YouTube. Hack in the Box (HITB) is an annual must-attend event in the calendars of security researchers and professionals around the world. The event was hosted earlier this year in Amsterdam and Singapore with the Beijing leg being held next month.
HITB is partnering with UAE based company DarkMatter Group, the region's first and only fully-integrated digital transformation, defence and cyber security consultancy and implementation firm. In parallel with HITB, DarkMatter Group is organising a business track called 'Beyond Cyber' where senior IT and C-level executives get to learn more on topics like Threat Intelligence, Digital Transformation and Cyber Transformation.
The Dubai Electronic Security Center is supporting and endorsing the HITB Security Conference as part of its 'Dubai Cyber Security Strategy', whose key domains include innovation, where the centre is committed to promoting cybersecurity research & development, in addition to establishing a secure cyberspace in Dubai and influencing it globally. Dr Bushra Al Blooshi, Head of Research and Innovation at Dubai Electronic Security Centre, said, "We are confident that this event will have a huge impact on cybersecurity not only in the UAE but regionally. The event will bring together eminent national, regional and international experts, and will tackle the latest in cybersecurity challenges as strategic component of the digital transformation, in addition to presenting our government and academic partners with global training opportunities.
"We are looking to support Dubai governmental efforts in its futuristic plans and initiatives by highlighting electronic security challenges in the fourth industrial revolution era, among others," Dr Al Blooshi added.
Organisers of the event have lined up a roster of internationally renowned speakers who will be discussing the latest in cybersecurity and how regional organisations can protect themselves.

Why Patients Choose Serenity Dental?
Many people might cringe at the idea of a root canal, but it doesn't have to be that way. The doctors at Serenity Dental, brothers Nilash and Nitash Patel, opened their practice in 2004 with the philosophy of putting every patient at ease. That includes patients who must undergo major procedures like dental implants or root canals.
In addition to affordable and compassionate dental service, another advantage of using Serenity Dental as your root canal dentist is convenience. Many family dentistry practices send their patients to a specialist at another office when something more complicated than routine dental work is required. Serenity patients can relax in the same comforting, familiar surroundings they always come to for teeth cleanings and dental checkups – even if they need more extensive work such as root canals, dental crowns, dental implants, dentures, tooth extraction, and more.
Your dentist at Serenity will do everything possible to help you avoid the need for a root canal, but if it comes to it, contact Serenity Dental to find a skilled, compassionate, and affordable treatment in our Land O'Lakes (Lutz) or Wesley Chapel office location. We proudly serve Land O'Lakes, Wesley Chapel, Zephyrhills, Dade City, Odessa, San Antonio, Trinity, Lakeland, New Tampa, and communities throughout the Tampa Bay area.
