Genocide and the United States
Adam Sterling, executive director of the Sudan Divestment Task Force, first became involved with ending the genocide in Darfur two and a half years ago when he was a member of a student group at the University of California, Los Angeles. "One of our faculty advisors was involved with the divestment movement in South Africa during the apartheid," he says. Sterling is one of many alumnae and current students involved in the international divestment movement, which takes on a distinct character in four different countries – the United States, Canada, England and Ireland. Divestment is when individuals remove their money from certain financial institutions who indirectly fund the genocide occurring in Darfur, Sudan. Prior to divesting, their money is invested in various companies, some of which operate in the Darfur region.
Belfast and Dublin companies go Caribbean
BELFAST, Northern Ireland: Instead of limiting investment and supply of services regionally, some local companies are extending their portfolios internationally. Globalisation is steadily increasing the available opportunities for tender and direct foreign investment, especially in developing regions.

Northern Ireland Housing Market Booms as Era of Violence Ends
April 11 (Bloomberg) -- Jackhammers and bulldozers have broken five years of silence at the derelict Harland & Wolff shipyard in Belfast, from whose slipways the RMS Titanic was launched 96 years ago. The 185-acre site, which teemed a century ago with 40,000 workers, hasn't been used for shipbuilding since 2002 and is being readied for the first phase of the Titanic Quarter development. While marketing hasn't begun, 6,000 people have already registered to buy one or more of the 475 apartments to be built next year, according to sales agent Thomas O'Doherty. ``Investors have approached us to buy five or more apartments at a time, but we'll ration them to one each,'' said O'Doherty, a sales manager at Eric Cairns Partnership. The Belfast shipyard, once a pillar of the region's economy, mirrors the changing face of Northern Ireland as almost four decades of sectarian violence ends at a cost of more than 3,500 lives.
Golden Rules for Growing Economies
HOW CAN WE EXPLAIN THE ECONOMIC miracles of the last 40 years? Why have some nations prospered and others not? India was positioned for the new world of outsourcing because so many Indians inherited the language of Shakespeare from the British Raj. Japan's vertical, soup-to-nuts zaibatsu, or conglomerates, were well equipped to compete in export markets. South Korea's early years of benevolent but undemocratic rule allowed the country to invest heavily in high-tech industries that would have foundered in a less-ordered economy. Ireland turned its relative poverty into a prime asset, since it could be the European Community's low-wage magnet ... .

Jobs in financial services can be doubled by 2016
The numbers employed in the Irish financial services sector can be doubled, Pat Wall, a partner with Pricewaterhouse Coopers, told delegates at the conference.
