Rania dedicate award to people of Jordan New York - Arab Today In recognition of her humanitarian efforts and the role she plays to support global education, Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah received the Atlantic Council Global Citizen Award in a ceremony held yesterday in New York. "I'd like to dedicate this (award) to the people of Jordan. For it is them from whom I've learned most about how to be a global citizen. Their humanity and benevolence, especially towards the Syrian people at this time, continue to move me," Queen Rania said addressing the audience. In her speech Queen Rania explained that global citizenship requires taking the time to learn about the world beyond our borders; its merits, challenges and injustices, requiring moral courage and commitment to step up and make a difference. Her Majesty then expressed her pride in Jordanian people who opened their homes and their hearts and extended the hand of friendship to the Syrian refugees; she also expressed how humbled she was by their selflessness, sacrifice and kindness. Queen Rania added that Jordan has always been, and will always be, a country of moderation, a haven of tolerance, and a sanctuary for those fleeing insecurity and danger. "His late Majesty King Hussein instilled in us all this value of common humanity. And my husband, His Majesty King Abdullah, proudly honours that legacy," She said. "But we cannot do it alone," Her Majesty noted. "Jordan has neither the wealth nor resources with which some countries in the region are blessed. Rather, we're burdened by poverty and unemployment." Calling for the global community's help, Queen Rania said: "With over half a million refugees in Jordan, and more arriving every day, we desperately need help." Her Majesty then noted that although governments have been generous, the UN agencies and civil society groups are at breaking point trying to meet growing demand. "We urgently need the global community to dig deeper, help the most vulnerable and show them what it means to belong to a global family," The Queen added. Queen Rania also asserted that creating a generation of global citizens demands education become a priority. "We must invest in it, train more teachers, build more classrooms and increase access for the 57 million children out of school. Because global citizenship isn't an epithet, it's an ethos. And it's best learned holistically in schools." Her Majesty called on the attendees and the Atlantic Council to continue advocating for more humanitarian help for all those affected by the Syrian conflict, and to lobby for investment in education as the roots of citizenship are best nurtured in schools. Receiving this year's award, Queen Rania joins other recipients including President of Poland Bronislaw Komorowski and Japanese Conductor Seiji Ozawa. Other past recipients include Professor Schwab, Christine Lagarde, Senator John Kerry, Rafik Harriri, Aung San Suu Kyi and Quincy Jones. The Atlantic Council, founded in 1961, is a non-partisan international organization that works to galvanize the transatlantic community to tackle a host of global challenges. It annually recognizes outstanding individuals who exhibit distinguished leadership in policy, business, military and the arts. Source: Petra

Technology and fashion need to be combined
San Francisco - Arab Today Models wearing Google Glass eyewear, Pebble smartwatches and other hot gadgets strutted a catwalk late Monday as Internet technology continued to merge with the world of fashion. A Digital Fall fashion show here marked the close of the first Glazed Conference devoted to setting the stage for wearable computing startups to become billion-dollar businesses. "It looks like technology for the sake of technology is dead," said Eliane Fiolet, co-founder of popular technology news website Ubergizmo.com and organizer of the fashion show. "People want a great piece of technology that works well and looks great." Companies are increasingly tuning into desires for sophisticated gadgets that also let people express personal styles, she noted. Jawbone lets people customize colors of Jambox wireless speakers that synch wirelessly to smartphones, tablets, or laptop computers. Nike allows people visiting its website to design their own athletic shoes, and matches some sports attire with wearable devices that track daily active for those chasing fitness goals. "There will be more and more integration with fashion and technology," Fiolet said. "We are just at the very start of it." She believed that Google has touched on a winning formula with Google Glass Internet-linked eyewear, which have become a fashion trend in the San Francisco and Silicon Valley areas. "We are in the next stage of human evolution," said Glazed Conference organizer Redg Snodgrass, co-founder of Stained Glass Labs startup accelerator devoted to revving up the wearable computing industry. "Entrepreneurs aren't those nerds living in a closet anymore," Snodgrass said as the fashion show was about to commence in a club not far from Twitter's headquarters in San Francisco. "They are out there pushing the limit. Anything that is technologically fascinating is sexy, and fashion is tied to that." While fitness has been a winning theme for early wearable computing devices, such as UP and Fitbit bracelets for providing feedback on whether people are hitting activity and sleep goals, Snodgrass thinks films and games will be the next areas to catch fire. The one-day Glazed Conference was intended to bring together entrepreneurs, investors and others to explore ways to realize ideas and make money in the world of wearable computing. "Not only did they show up, they brought the heat," Snodgrass said of the turnout. "They brought some great stuff." Among the attendees was self-described 'cybertechnician' Tyler Freeman, who sported Drum Pants lined with sensors that let him play percussion beats by slapping various spots on his legs. The sensor strips are held in place with Velcro, meaning they can be swapped between pieces of a wardrobe, he explained. "The goal is to get banned in public schools; then we know we are a success," said the San Francisco-based entrepreneur. Tapping on Drum Pants sends signals wirelessly to smartphones, which then direct thumps or synthesized sounds to come from speakers. The sensors could be used to control PowerPoint presentations or Google Glass cameras with casual touches of a leg, according to Freeman. Fiolet already has her sights set on next year's show, with hopes of being able to showcase creations of London-based CuteCircuit, the cyber chic fashion house that wowed the world with a "Twitter Dress" worn by a celebrity to a 4G mobile network launch event in Britain in late 2012. LED lights designed into the gown displayed posts from the globally-popular one-to-many messaging service. Technology and fashion need to be combined tastefully to make for a winning creation, according to Fiolet. "It has to be good looking; be a great piece of technology, and monitor something you care about," she contended. "If you don't care, you will never wear it. And, if it is ugly, you will never wear it." Source: AFP

Twitter launchs a system for emergency alerts
London - Arab Today Twitter on Wednesday launched a system for emergency alerts which can help spread critical information when other lines of communication are down. The popular messaging service said its Twitter Alerts could be useful in natural disasters or otheremergencies when traditional channels may be overloaded or unavailable. "We know from our users how important it is to be able to receive reliable information during these times," Twitter product manager Gaby Pena said in a blog post. "Twitter Alerts is a new way to get accurate and important information when you need it most." Last year, Twitter announced a service called Lifeline to help Japanese users find emergency accounts during crises "and since then, we?ve been working on a related feature for people around the world," Pena said. "Today, we?re launching Twitter Alerts, a new feature that brings us one step closer to helping users get important and accurate information from credible organizations during emergencies, natural disasters or moments when other communications services aren?t accessible." Users who sign up to receive an account?s Twitter Alerts will receive a notification directly to their phone for tweets marked as alerts from certain senders. A number of organizations in the United States, Japan and South Korea have been authorized to send such alerts, and Twitter will expand this to "public institutions and NGOs around the world." Some of those able to send alerts include the American Red Cross, Federal Emergency Management Agency, World Health Organization, and government and non-government agencies in Japan and South Korea. Twitter's Bridget Coyne said the messaging platform became a vital information source following the Japan tsunami, and in the United States for Superstorm Sandy and the Boston bomb attacks. She said those likely to use the alerts include law enforcement and public safety agencies, emergency management agencies, local governments and private organizations involved in disaster relief.

Siemens supports KSA growth by developing local talent For more than 80 years Siemens, with local partner E.A. Juffali & Brothers, has been a key player in the development of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The company has contributed significantly to some of the country’s most ambitious infrastructure projects, and today Siemens employs more than 2,000 people in Saudi Arabia in the energy, infrastructure and cities, industry and health care sectors. The last few decades have seen extraordinary industrial growth in Saudi Arabia, fueled by significant infrastructure investment from a booming oil and gas sector. However, along with many other GCC nations, the Kingdom has begun to diversify its economy away from a traditional reliance on oil and gas, toward a broader suite of disciplines. The rapid year-on-year growth of the country’s non-oil sector is proof that these efforts are beginning to make an impact. With this, the importance of building a knowledge-based economy in the Middle East has been underlined by significant government investment in education, especially in Saudi Arabia. In 2013, for example, Saudi Arabia set aside 25 percent of its annual budget for education; some SR204 billion or 10 percent of the Kingdom’s GDP. As an engineering company, the contribution of Siemens to the education and training of local talent is based upon technical training. The company is currently sponsoring an electrical and mechanical postsecondary training scheme at Saudi Petroleum Services Polytechnic in Dammam, which will see 36 Saudi Arabian nationals completing a two-year course. This will be followed by one year’s on-the-job training within the company. The program is designed to prepare graduates for technical positions at Siemens, at facilities such as the new Siemens Energy Hub Dammam which is currently under construction. Recent figures show that more than half of Saudi Arabia’s population is under the age of 25. This presents challenges for the Kingdom, but also great opportunities. In the coming years, a significant proportion of these young Saudis will complete their education and enter the local job market. It is, however, a market which must undergo change if Saudi Arabia’s long-term strategy 2025 — which aims to develop a prosperous, more diversified private-sector economy that provides rewarding job opportunities for Saudi nationals — is to be realized. “Siemens Saudi Arabia has a proven track record of training and developing local talent by continuously expanding its technological footprint,” says Shadi Aldaoud, head of Legal Council, Siemens Saudi Arabia. “At Siemens Saudi Arabia, we take pride in initiatives that cultivate the development of local Saudi talent and expertise.” The company also looks beyond its own people. Customer initiatives have seen Siemens partner with the likes of Saudi Electricity Company (SEC), training Saudi Arabian engineers from the energy industry at its facilities in Germany and the US. The firm is also looking to expand this concept to other areas of its business, including rail. Graduate schemes remain a popular method of introducing fresh talent into private sector companies. Siemens runs its own; the international Siemens Graduate Program, which encourages Saudi Arabian men and women to develop with the company locally. The two-year rotational program offers masters graduates the opportunity to spend time working in different functions across the four sectors of Siemens, with students assigned an individual mentor. One assignment will be completed abroad, with graduates also joining interdisciplinary project teams to encourage the establishment of a global network. Nada Alsheaiby was the first female candidate to join the program in Saudi Arabia. “The two-year program gave me the opportunity to work on different international assignments in various roles, giving me the chance to experience a challenging yet interesting workplace with different cultural backgrounds. This gave me ample international exposure, networking opportunities, professional development and collaboration. I am proud to be part of the Siemens family.” Another increasingly relevant topic is the employment of women in Saudi Arabia. Siemens has been employing women in Saudi Arabia since 2004 and has doubled the number of women working at the company in the Kingdom in the last two years. One of the first women to join the company in Saudi Arabia, Walaa Shaheen started in 2004 in IT department and is now Head of Finance. “I had always wanted to work for an international company, and Siemens is one of the best employers out there,” she said. “The prospect of exchanging ideas and knowledge with colleagues from around the world fascinated me, and I applied immediately after finding out Siemens was hiring women.” The next few years will be exciting for Saudi Arabia. As a fresh generation of graduates embarks on careers that will ultimately shape the future of the country, for companies such as Siemens this represents a great opportunity to support the Kingdom’s investment in the development of its local talent. “Siemens in Saudi Arabia is fully committed to the country and its people, and will continue to differentiate itself through employment, training and development opportunities for local talent,” says Arja Talakar, CEO of Siemens Saudi Arabia. “We will continue to be a proactive contributor and advocate, fully-aligned with the strategic agenda of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.” Source: Arab News

France ready to be KSA's strategic partner in nuke, renewable energy French companies AREVA and EDF hosted a number of Saudi business and industry representatives at their Second Suppliers Day event held in Jeddah on Tuesday to take part in the framework of the sustainable energy program suggested by King Abdullah City for Atomic and Renewable Energy (KA-CARE) focused on nuclear and renewable energy sources. Some 200 participants from local companies attended, including Dr. Mohieden Garwan, KA-CARE, French Ambassador to KSA Bertrand Besancenot, representatives of Saudi industry, along with Tarek Choho, AREVA Chief Commercial Officer and Mrs. Valerie Levkov, EDF VP New Nuclear Energy. The suppliers’ day initiative aimed at providing local industry with a platform for exposure, knowledge sharing, and networking. Speaking to the Saudi Gazette, the French Ambassador to the Kingdom said “the aim of this meeting is very clear, France has been the first country to sign government to government agreement on nuclear and energy because we do think that taking it into account the huge program the Saudi government wants to implement in the nuclear field and France has a lot to bring in terms of the best nuclear technology in the world.” Besancenot added that Saudi Arabia is a strategic partner of France in the region and the bilateral relationship is of paramount importance in the economic field as “we are seeing that bilateral trade has doubled over the last five years.” He stressed that France is ready to be Saudi Arabia's strategic partner in the field of nuclear and renewable energy. He also highlighted the competencies of France’s nuclear energy industry and its ability to support the Kingdom goal. According to organizers, the two French companies have launched two initiatives as part of K.A CARE proposal Educational Outreach Program aimed at human capacity building in the Kingdom through partnership with Saudi universities, technical and vocational centers. They have launched the first sustainable energy study tour in France in June 2013, which offered a unique opportunity for Saudi students to learn more about activities in nuclear and renewable energy by engaging with leading French industrial, educational and research entities. Dr. Noura Mansouri, manager of strategy and marketing at AREVA Saudi Arabia, said “human capacity is an important pillar of the sustainability of the future energy programs. The study tour represents a building block of a long-term partnership between French and Saudi educational systems in the area of nuclear and renewable energies. Through this program, we have also offered more than 50 on-the-job training opportunities to young Saudi graduates in France, UK and Germany” The second initiative is the Industrial Outreach Program aimed at contributing to industrial and technical development of the economic base of the Kingdom as well as focusing on ‘ localization’ by utilizing the existing network of local companies to develop nuclear and renewable technologies. Localizing skills lies at the heart of the international development strategy implemented by AREVA and EDF, who intend to rely on local partners for the shared industrial projects they export. AREVA and EDF plan to contribute their expertise to the Saudi energy program, from choosing the appropriate power generation solutions to managing the operating cycle Source: Saudi Gazette
