| + | |||
| + | The new Mini Cooper is about to get much more high-tech. | ||
| + | |||
| + | , which debuts in November, will come with several new high-tech features aimed at improving safety on the road. The most significant upgrade will be a multifunctional camera mounted behind the windshield that can alert the driver to potential collisions with cars or pedestrians. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The system works by monitoring other vehicles and pedestrians,[http://tyreprobe.com/images/Custom-Denver-Broncos-Jerseys-For-Sale.html <strong>Denver Broncos Jerseys Wholesale</strong>],[http://www.yukari.co/dzbbs/upload/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=229793&fromuid=27298 Cisco Checks on the Cloud and Confirms It's Getting Bigger_0], and it then feeds that information back to the driver through a small dashboard. The system can give the driver visual and audio warnings about potential issues. | ||
| + | |||
| + | If the driver does not respond to those warnings, the car will automatically brake,[http://tyreprobe.com/images/Custom-Denver-Broncos-Jerseys-For-Sale.html <strong>Custom Denver Broncos NFL Jerseys For Sale</strong>],[http://www.hbszy.com/www/show.php?aid=331947 Monmouth soldier's wife, children settle into rout], Mini said. | ||
| + | |||
| + | But the high-end technology doesn’t stop there. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The Mini Cooper will also be able to automatically keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front of it. By using the same windshield-mounted camera,[http://keralaviewer.com/kumarakoms.html <strong>Shop Giants Jerseys</strong>], the car can adjust its speed to stay at an appropriate distance away from the nearest car. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The driver-assist dashboard will also tell the driver the current speed limit, weather conditions and other useful tidbits. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Mini also plans to equip the model with a rear-facing camera and a parking-assist system. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The company said the driver-assist system can be turned off.</html> | ||

| + | == Africa- Ghana launches first national yam strategy == | ||
| + | |||
| + | <html>Ghana has taken a major step ahead of other yam-producing nations with the launch of a strategy for the development of the yam industry from farm to market. This follows the global conference on yams in Accra from October 3 to 6 and ongoing strategic development for the sector. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The national yam strategy puts yam in the spotlight as a key crop to help Ghana fight poverty, enhance food security, and improve the livelihoods and income of women and men engaged in the yam sector. | ||
| + | |||
| + | “The strategy envisions making Ghana the leading source of premium quality yam products with global penetration and contributing to an improved Ghanaian economy and livelihoods,” says the Deputy Minister for Food and Agriculture, Ahmed Yakubu Alhassan. | ||
| + | |||
| + | “One of the objectives of the strategy is to develop commercially-driven research and development, as well as capacity building in yam value chain,” he added at the inauguration of the strategy in Accra on Tuesday last week. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The economic value of the yam industry in Ghana has grown quite rapidly in recent years,[http://tyreprobe.com/images/Custom-Denver-Broncos-Jerseys-For-Sale.html <strong>Denver Broncos Jerseys Wholesale</strong>], with its foreign exchange earnings shooting up to the third position among the non-traditional export commodities in the period 2010 to 2012. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Demand for yam in both fresh and processed forms is increasing in new markets abroad and domestically. The industry faces tremendous opportunities, as well as challenges and requires support policies, private sector investment, and to become organised as a whole value chain. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The Ghana Yam Strategy is a bottom-up policy process that started in 2012. It is a private sector-led road map championed by the Ministry of Trade and Industry and the Ministry of Food and Agriculture, with the support of the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) and the Ministry of Gender, Children, and Social Protection. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The International Trade Centre (ITC) and the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) provided technical support and process facilitation. | ||
| + | |||
| + | “Despite the contribution of yam, the crop has not been given the right attention. This is what this strategy aims to correct,” says Mr Anthony Sikpa,[http://gamec.net46.net/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=165393&extra= Group- National Dialogue Will Address Nigeria's Challenges, Articles], Chairman of the Ghana Yam Strategy Committee. | ||
| + | |||
| + | “With this strategy, not only will yam be given attention, but it will also provide opportunities for all stakeholders in the yam sector,” he added. | ||
| + | |||
| + | IITA Director for Western Africa, Dr Robert Asiedu, commended Ghana for taking the lead in developing a strategy for the tuber crop. | ||
| + | |||
| + | “We also encourage other countries to emulate Ghana,[http://viewtool.com/wiki/index.php/%E7%94%A8%E6%88%B7:Bxhjejtk5#Okogun-_Traditional_Media_Will_Evolve_Along_Other_Platforms.2C Okogun- Traditional Media Will Evolve Along Other Platforms,], by developing similar strategies that give clear direction on how to make the crop work for the poor and improve their economies,” Dr Asiedu added. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Indigenous to Africa, yam is a major staple contributing to food security and incomes, and also plays a significant role in the culture of the people. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The Strategy has been designed and developed to provide a holistic approach to sector development by considering both the economic and social value of yam in Ghana. “The methodology used combines IITA’s experience in agriculture research-and-development with ITC’s practice of participatory mechanisms and market-led planning for policy, enterprise, and sector development,” said Hernan Manson, ITC Adviser for Value Chain Development, and Antonio Lopez-Montes, IITA Yam Breeder. | ||
| + | |||
| + | “Country ownership and leadership have been ensured through a private-public platform in charge of building partnerships and articulating support for implementation,” they added. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The platform includes approximately 200 stakeholders from the private sector,[http://keralaviewer.com/kumarakoms.html <strong>Cheap Authentic Giants Jerseys Wholesale</strong>], representing all areas of the industry,[http://tyreprobe.com/images/Custom-Denver-Broncos-Jerseys-For-Sale.html <strong>Custom Denver Broncos NFL Jerseys For Sale</strong>], and support institutions (Ghana Standards Authority, Ghana Export Promotion Authority, Export Development and Agriculture Investment Fund, and National Development Planning Commission), commercial and development banks, research centers (CSIR, etc.), academia, and key ministries such as Trade, Agriculture, Finance, and Women and Children.<br><br></html> | ||
