Samsung A5 short review





While the specs can't quite compare with the Edge, the new Galaxy A phones will pretty much knock your socks off in the looks department, and really only vary depending on the screen sizes of the phone. For the Galaxy A5, this 5.2-inch handset goes for the balanced approach. It's neither as small as the 4.7-inch A3, or as large as the A7 with its 5.5-inch display. Specs-wise, it's as powerful as the larger A7 -- and a lot more capable than the smaller A3.

UN calls on Sri Lanka to probe war crimes

Image
Britain and Australia urge engagement with country as UN accuses Sri Lanka of drifting towards authoritarian system. The UN has said that Sri Lanka could face an international probe unless it properly investigates suspected war crimes and other abuses from the civil war that ended in 2009. Navi Pillay, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, said on Wednesday she had seen no new or comprehensive Sri Lankan effort to properly and independently investigate as the UN's 47-nation Human Rights Council had repeatedly demanded. As Australia and Britain were encouraging engagement, rather than isolation of Sri Lanka on Wednesday, Pillay said in the report that Sri Lanka might be sliding towards an authoritarian system, as President Mahinda Rajapaksa gathered power around him. Her report said that she would recommend that the Council establish its own probe if the South Asian island nation does not show more "credible'' progress by March. Pillay said the large...

Overcoming Generational Differences in the Workplace

Image
How can we bridge generational gaps at work? How can we leverage them? The Women in Capital Markets Initiative—which brings together leaders from across finance, academia, and policymaking—addressed these questions at a series of get-togethers in New York City and Washington, DC. Principally, the discussion explored the challenges and opportunities associated with the changing workforce, including communicating across generations, talent gaps, and how firms and managers can attract and retain talent. The events were facilitated by experts from BridgeWorks, a research and consulting firm specializing in generational dynamics. The conversation was conducted under the Chatham House Rule, to encourage candor, but I'm pleased to share a few of the group's insights with you. Recognizing Generational Similarities, Differences, and Challenges The conversation at both events began with a recap of the widely-recognized generational boundaries. Millennials – Mil...

The world's poorest children are paying a high price for scholarships

The world's poorest children are paying a high price for scholarships When donating aid, donor countries should prioritise basic rather than higher education. For many donor countries, a large proportion of "aid" never leaves their country. Spending this money on education in the world's poorest countries could go a long way to giving the 132 million out-of-school children and adolescents the chance for a better future. Our recent policy paper, Education for All is affordable - by 2015 and beyond [PDF], shows that the financing gap for achieving basic education has grown by $10 billion in three years and now totals $26 billion per year. This increased finance gap is primarily due to donors failing to increase aid significantly to help developing countries send children to school. This finance gap can be bridged, however, if both developing countries and donors prioritised basic education. Currently, however, donors spend $3.1 billion per year on university ...
