In conclusion, the idea that the French team is solely Mbappe's "sanctuary" is a narrative that needs to be reconsidered. While Mbappe is undoubtedly a talented and important player for the team, he is just one piece of the puzzle that makes up the French national team. The team's recent performances have shown that they are a cohesive unit capable of success without relying solely on Mbappe's brilliance. The comfort zone that Mbappe supposedly provides is a thing of the past, as the French team continues to evolve and grow stronger as a collective force in the world of football.Speculation is rife about where Eriksson could end up next, with several top European clubs reportedly interested in securing his signature.

State Board of Elections certifies election results showing decline in turnoutQatar tribune QNA Riyadh Minister of Environment and Climate Change HE Dr Abdullah bin Abdulaziz bin Turki Al Subaie has emphasised Qatar’s commitment to contributing actively to global efforts to enhance resilience to drought. Speaking at the 16th session of the Conference of the Parties (COP16) of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) taking place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, from December 2 to 13, Dr Subaie stressed the importance of strengthening international cooperation to set comprehensive development tools, policies, and programmes focused on drought prevention and adaptation. He also highlighted the need for a proactive approach to shift from crisis management to preventive management, which could be done by putting in place early warning systems and evidence-based national plans. The Minister of Environment and Climate Change participated in the ministerial dialogue on drought resilience held under the title “From Geneva to Riyadh and beyond: Enhancing global and national policy instruments for a proactive drought management approach”. The ministerial dialogue highlighted the urgent need for innovative approaches to address the systemic impacts of drought. Dr Subaie called for investing in innovation and technology, supporting research, and adopting modern technologies to enhance the ability to predict drought and manage natural resources efficiently. He also emphasised the importance of involving communities in the design and implementation of drought-related programmes in order to ensure the sustainability of solutions and increase local resilience. He called for the creation of sustainable financing mechanisms and support for projects aimed at adapting to drought and rehabilitating degraded lands. He noted that Qatar has made significant efforts in combating desertification through a range of projects and initiatives focusing on environmental sustainability and natural resource management. The minister pointed out that the country has designated about 27 percent of its land as nature reserves, in addition to establishing a rainwater harvesting project, with the aim of preserving natural groundwater, establishing water treatment and recycling plants, and developing agricultural irrigation techniques using modern technology, all of which have improved water consumption efficiency. He also noted that the country has implemented effective policies to regulate water use in development projects, aiming to achieve a sustainable balance between economic development and environmental conservation. COP16 is the largest meeting of the parties to UNCCD, seeking to find solutions to environmental challenges threatening the planet, intensifying efforts to combat land degradation, mitigating the impacts of drought, and mobilising resources to find effective solutions for rehabilitating millions of hectares of degraded lands and reducing drought. It also supports decision-makers and encourages the role of the private sector and civil society organisations in protecting the environment and preserving natural resources. Copy 04/12/2024 10

Recognizing that affordable and high-quality healthcare remains a pressing concern, the partnership aims to empower private healthcare facilities to deliver these services while indirectly helping patients overcome common barriers, such as expensive medical treatment, inadequate infrastructure, and limited access to financing. Such issues were highlighted on November 26 during a workshop that brought together private healthcare providers from across Rwanda. ALSO READ: Equity Bank Rwanda launches new healthcare financing products The discussions focused on raising awareness about those products which are designed to help businesses operate in a conducive environment while delivering high-quality services to their clients. As part of its efforts to relieve financial challenges in the health sector, Equity Bank Rwanda has introduced healthcare financing products with reduced interest rates. According to Jean Havugimana, the Head of SME at Equity Bank Rwanda, most of these loans, now available at an annual interest rate of 16 per cent, are lower than the standard rates, which can reach up to 19 per cent annually. Also, the bank has addressed the issue of collateral, a common hurdle for many healthcare providers. “Most of the newly designed products no longer require collateral, making financing more accessible and inclusive”. “We want to ensure that financing is not a barrier but a solution to the challenges faced by healthcare providers. Our products are designed to meet their specific needs quickly and efficiently,” said Jean Havugimana. ALSO READ: Equity Bank, Pact Rwanda team up to empower small-scale miners Among the key offerings highlighted was the “Tang’ubuzima Loan”, which caters to a broad spectrum of beneficiaries, including private hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, laboratories, healthcare wholesalers, and manufacturers. “Invoice Discount” is another key product according to Havugimana, offered by the bank to assist healthcare providers. Typically, insurance companies take two to three months to pay healthcare providers. With this product, the bank advances funds to healthcare providers while they await payments from insurers. Once the insurers pay, the healthcare providers repay the bank. “This prevents disruptions in operations by ensuring providers have funds to purchase supplies and pay salaries. It’s a highly appreciated product that came at the right time,” said Havugimana. Another product is the “Letter of Credit”, which supports healthcare providers when they need to order expensive medical equipment but lack immediate funds. The bank pays the supplier on their behalf, fostering trust between both parties and ensuring the client receives the equipment with all necessary requirements. “The bank can take on a ‘risk appetite’ of up to 20 per cent. This means if a borrower requests Rwf100,000 and has collateral covering at least 80 per cent of the loan, the bank can approve the full amount requested.” Other products highlighted include “Stock Financing”, which helps businesses refill stock when it runs out, and “Asset Financing”, which enables them to purchase expensive equipment such as MRI machines, dental operation tools, maternity machines, and more. These and other products were presented to participants in the healthcare supply chain. ALSO READ: How Equity Bank is unlocking Rwanda’s agri-export potential However, during the event, participants raised concerns, primarily about high interest rates and the lengthy process of loan approvals. Addressing the issue of delays, Havugimana assured that under this program, loan approvals will now be processed within few days, providing timely support for critical healthcare projects, something that will make improvement from the previous extended timelines. However, he urged them to adopt the use of Point of Sale (POS) systems, where customers make payments for purchases, and the system processes those payments. According to Havugimana, this helps the bank maintain deposits, which in turn allows it to generate funds for lending to others. “Anyone who uses Equity Bank’s POS is eligible for loans ranging from Rwf40 million to Rwf70 million without requiring collateral. This offer applies to everyone, not just healthcare providers. We encourage everyone to adopt this system as it also reduces costs associated with printing new currency notes when needed,” he explained.", "author": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Frank Ntarindwa" }, "publisher": { "@type": "Organization", "name": "The New Times", "url": "https://www.newtimes.co.rw/", "sameAs": ["https://www.facebook.com/TheNewTimesRwanda/","https://twitter.com/NewTimesRwanda","https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuZbZj6DF9zWXpdZVceDZkg"], "logo": { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "/theme_newtimes/images/logo.png", "width": 270, "height": 57 } }, "copyrightHolder": { "@type": "Organization", "name": "The New Times", "url": "https://www.newtimes.co.rw/" } }In conclusion, the parallels between present-day Mbappé and Barcelona's 140 million euro signing, Philippe Coutinho, are undeniable. Both players were signed for exorbitant fees with the hope that they would lead their clubs to glory, both have shown flashes of brilliance on the pitch, and both have faced their fair share of challenges. As we wait to see what the future holds for Mbappé, one thing is certain - the world of football will continue to be captivated by the rise of young stars and the astronomical transfer fees that come with them.After 10 straight wins, Lions face Packers with much to accomplish

Speaking at a gathering hosted at the French residence, Ambassador Galey welcomed prominent figures, including Secretary Niaz, Ayesha Farooq, the Prime Minister’s Focal Person on Polio, and Dr. Mukhtar Ahmad Bharath, the Prime Minister’s Coordinator on Health. Representatives from the Polio Oversight Board (POB), diplomatic missions, NGOs, and other organizations were also present. The ambassador opened by emphasizing the importance of the event, which brought together diverse stakeholders from Pakistan and abroad. He commended the collective commitment to eradicating polio, a mission requiring concerted efforts across sectors and borders. “If so many organizations are rallying around this cause, it is because it is a critical and urgent one, for Pakistan and for the world,” Galey stated. He acknowledged the invaluable role of POB visits to Pakistan and Afghanistan, which enable partners to assess on-ground realities, evaluate progress, and fine-tune strategies. Ambassador Galey praised the Pakistani government’s strong political commitment to polio eradication, as observed by POB Chair Dr. Chris Elias and the delegation during their visit. He singled out Ayesha Farooq for her leadership in coordinating national and international stakeholders to address the challenge. Galey also paid tribute to the health workers and security personnel involved in vaccination campaigns across Pakistan. Acknowledging the risks they face, he noted the courage required to combat misinformation about vaccines and reach vulnerable communities, often in challenging and dangerous circumstances. “Many of these workers have sacrificed their lives for this cause,” he said, underscoring their dedication to protecting children’s health and ensuring a polio-free future. Highlighting France’s role in the global effort, Galey announced a concessional loan of 50 million (approximately $55 million), extended through the French development agency in partnership with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Signed in July 2024, this funding supports the World Health Organization’s (WHO) polio program in Pakistan, covering critical areas like salaries for health workers and program monitoring. “This financial commitment reflects France’s dedication to global health initiatives,” Galey said. The ambassador underscored the importance of international cooperation in addressing issues like polio eradication, climate change, and disease control. “Global challenges demand global action,” he remarked, stressing that viruses and diseases recognize no borders. Galey reiterated France’s commitment to multilateralism and collective action, alongside its European Union partners. He praised the Polio Oversight Board for exemplifying this collaborative spirit. In his concluding remarks, Galey expressed gratitude to all partners for their tireless efforts to eradicate polio and protect future generations. He emphasized that the union of public and private efforts remains essential to achieving this goal. “Together, we can overcome these challenges,” he concluded, reaffirming France’s support for a polio-free Pakistan and a healthier world.New translation tech helps New Hampshire DMV expand language access
One of the more curious promises of technology in the 21st century is that it can confirm someone’s humanity. It sounds counterintuitive. But as AI becomes an established feature of our daily lives, and bots, and scams proliferate, the question of how to verify that an entity is a person and not a machine has become central to , authentication and the quest to digitize anything and everything. In a recent for Wired, author Kate Crawford says that “in 2025, it will be commonplace to talk with a personal AI agent who knows your schedule, your circle of friends, the places you go. These anthropomorphic agents are designed to support and charm us so that we fold them into every part of our lives.” Accordingly, an industry has grown to make sure we know who’s real and who’s not. The question has been framed as “ ” (PoP), and biometrics is central to its operations. A key feature of biometrics (and what adds an element of additional risk if they are stolen) is their uniqueness. Your face, fingerprint or iris are like no one else’s. As such, it provides the “one and one only” element of digital personhood – which, after all, wants not only to distinguish you from a machine, but also from other identities. But the technical and technological problems of personhood come with extra baggage. In dealing with the language of fundamental rights and verified humanness, firms are treading ethical grounds that have implications beyond the . Firms are coming at the problem of how to preserve personhood – in data and in language – from different perspectives, but with a similar, massive goal: to service everyone on planet Earth with a unique digital identity. Among those positioned to make an impact is . Founded in 2015 in San Francisco, Civic uses a tokenized identity model for identity management that prioritizes privacy. Its website says its user management tools allow clients to “deploy seamless in just a few lines of code.” It prevents so-called Sybil attacks, which involve gaining an unfair advantage over a network by controlling multiple accounts. But, in a recent email interview with , the company says its primary objective is “to be the world’s most trusted identity solution, used by billions every day.” Civic’s says it is “working toward a world where identity is not only defined by documents, but also personality. Where the unique expression of an individual contributes to the security of a digital identity that they own and control.” While others deal in PoP, Civic’s notion of a ‘digital personality’ shows how the language of being is fusing with the language of . The company believes identity and its attached personality are “a synthesis and expression of three primary areas: who you are, what you have, and what you’ve done.” Like identity, digital personality “may be expressed in anonymous, pseudonymous or fully proven ways depending on the objective.” Who you are could be anything from a name claimed on a platform to verifiable third-party attested data like a government-issued passport. What you have refers to private , “which can be verified on-chain can then be correlated to ongoing ownership through mechanisms like proof of wallet ownership.” Identity verification is a use case; so are NFTs. What you have done is identity attached to traceable histories – for instance, proof of “membership in organizations like decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) via voting history, trading volumes and participation in any other on-chain activity. The more demonstrable history you have, the more you build trust with potential counterparties, but without needing the middle layer of things like credit bureaus.” Civic, which works with , offers two main products. In the most basic terms, its Civic Pass blockchain product “provides users an entry point to the verifiable internet, enabling developers to implement user verification and access control in applications and smart contracts.” “What this means,” the company says, “is that developers can choose to leverage Civic’s offerings like Liveness, Uniqueness or Document Verification as a gating criteria, or issue on-chain passes based on their own criteria. In this way, users’ unique biometrics or verifiable data (i.e. who you are) can be tied to wallet ownership (i.e. what you know – the private key).” The Civic Auth product “further lowers the barriers to entry for developers and users to present a familiar login experience, while optionally pairing it with the power of the verifiable internet.” The provided example is a developer choosing to “simply ask their users to log in with Google or add an embedded and issue an on-chain Civic Pass to gate access to any smart contract using the Civic Auth toolkit. Later, the developer could choose to add biometric checks or other authentications.” In other words, “Civic Pass provides secure, permissioned access to on-chain assets while Civic Auth offers single sign-on for identity verification.” In a recent interview with the Metaverse Post, Chief Product Officer summarizes further: “we developed a proof-of-personhood solution that links one human to one wallet. Using biometrics, like a video selfie, we create a unique 3D facial map to ensure only that individual can access their account.” So far, so good: everyone likes and biometric authentication. But the picture that emerges raises questions about where “digital identity” ends and digital “proof of personhood” begins. Civic believes there will be “a convergence of these two concepts,” but doesn’t see “those terms as becoming synonymous in all cases.” One may not have to prove personhood for some uses of digital identity, while others – for example, – will require measures to ensure that accounts posting on their platforms are run by actual people. Civic says that “overall, in the next 5-10 years we expect that everyone will have variants of their that are used at various times (e.g. anonymous, pseudoanonymous, transparent), some of which will require proof of personhood and some of which will not.” The piece is key. “It is important to ensure that tools developed to establish digital personhood be widely accessible, well supported, and with outlet processes to allow for equal and fair access to economic and social products and services.” Again, we are to understand that PoP is a way for technology to enable human participation in digitized human affairs. Civic is confident enough in its mission to know where to draw the line between people and agglomerations of data. It says that “personhood is an inalienable human right which should not be confused with our digital shadows, which ultimately are simply tools to express that personhood.” Yet, there are obvious cognitive shifts going on in how we as humans relate to machines and their , and define ourselves against them. In giving an example of how digital identity and digital humanness diverge, Civic notes “AI agents will have a digital identity and may execute actions on behalf of their owners, but themselves may not have a proof of personhood.” The implication is startling: algorithms are now understood to have identities, or to possess the ability to have them. The linguistic framework for how we define ourselves is no longer the exclusive property of organic beings. While we have long given cute names to and recently gotten cozy with our , the notion that an AI agent can express the same degree of “identity” as a real human is a shift of a different magnitude. There is a paradox in making the simple fact of being human contingent on the very machines from which we must be differentiated. In a certain respect, asking someone to justify and prove their own fundamental understanding of reality is a kind of existential gaslighting, tugging at the basic notion that the real and the digital are separate realms. Aggravating this is that at least some of those shopping proof of humanness are also responsible for the AI threat in the first place. At present, the most notorious name in both AI and PoP is Sam Altman, who opened the AI floodgates in creating ChatGPT, and is now busy pushing his iris-scanning as a way for people to prove they are not just another product of his popular large language model (LLM). World, Civic and many of the firms offering digital proof of personhood offer altruistic motivations and lofty ideals – most frequently, the notion that identity is a universal human right that should be universally accessible. The world is online; so must we all be, fairly and equally. Projects like the rollout underscore this in practice. However, the wider implications of AI for the physical world are already emerging. Kate Crawford argues that “so far, generative AI is most significant from an environmental perspective: It is fundamentally reshaping Earth.” Noting that AI data centers are already using as much energy as entire nation-states, she defines AI as a “metabolic technology – burning electricity and evaporating water at an exponential rate to keep the ingestion, digestion and production of data going.” Meanwhile, World’s founders imagine a world of futuristic tupperware parties where the product is not plastic food storage but and identities collected with spherical, single-use scanning devices called Orbs, which seem destined for the e-waste landfill. Nonetheless, the material concerns that come with AI may soon be dwarfed by the metaphysical ones. When we define human rights and human culture, language lays the tracks that lead to the future. To take one technological example, before Web 2.0 and the birth of social media, entertainment media was not commonly referred to as “content.” The consequences of doing so have how we think of ourselves and tell our stories. Which is to say, once the language of humanness is attached to an algorithm, there may be no getting it back. For those wishing to be human without having to prove it, there’s always life off the grid. The risk is, if a person lives in the forest and nobody’s around to verify it, it mightn’t be thought of as living at all. | | | | | | | |
