It appears big data analytics worked for the Germans actually. I am reminded of how Obama put together an 'army' big data analytics in a bunker and how that worked with him as well.

Germany scours university data for tips to beat Brazil, coach says
by S.M. Muraya 09 Jul '14

About Data Analytics :) http://mobile.reuters.com/article/idUSKBN0FC1I620140707?irpc=932 Germany scours university data for tips to beat Brazil, coach says Mon, Jul 07 11:02 AM EDT [image: image] By Erik Kirschbaum SANTO ANDRE Brazil (Reuters) - That no European team has won any of the previous six World Cups in Latin America is not a daunting prospect for Germany as they head into Tuesday's World Cup semi-final against hosts Brazil, according to assistant coach Hansi Flick. Three-times World Cup winners Germany are confident that two years of meticulous university research combined with their own scouting and preparations for the conditions will give them an edge against five-times winners Brazil on their home turf. “We’re very, very well-prepared and we’re looking forward to playing Brazil,” Flick told reporters when asked about how Germany planned to ended the dominance of Latin American teams when playing in their own region. “We’ve been working on this project for the last two years and our entire system has been built up for that.” Germany are undefeated in Brazil but haven't had to face a Latin American team yet: their four wins were against Portugal, the United States, Algeria and France with a draw against Ghana. Major European rivals such as Spain, Italy and England have already been beaten or knocked out by South American teams. Flick said to get ready for South American teams Germany have benefited from a giant data base put together by a team of about 50 students at Cologne’s sport university over the last two years. That information, combined with scouting reports, has been used for detailed analyses of Brazil and their players. “The sports students in Cologne have been studying in great detail our opponent and put every play they’ve run, every newspaper article on them, and everything about them out there under the microscope and made all that data available to us,” Flick said at Germany’s base camp on the Atlantic coast in Northeastern Brazil. “We’ve got this enormous data base to draw upon and, together with our scouts, we’re able to take a close look at our opponent and make our plans for the match. It’s a project we’ve been working on intensively for the last two years. We’ve been able to cull some very high quality information from all the data from the students. It’s very much helped us prepare.” Germany have been turning to the student researchers at the Deutsche Sporthochschule Koeln increasingly over the last decade. Former Germany coach Juergen Klinsmann first began tapping the data accumulated by the students, most of whom are soccer enthusiasts and thrilled to be working on a project that could possibly help, even in a small way, to win the World Cup. While the students are sworn to secrecy about their intelligence gathering, their Professor Juergen Buschmann headed the project has been quoted in German newspapers saying the students use an eclectic variety of sources to chronicle such things as how players react in pressure situations, what are their preferred routes, how do they react when fouled, what gets under skin and how do they sprint for the ball? He said the one trend that he was at liberty to reveal was that top teams change their tactics frequently but provided no further details - not surprising but tantalizing nevertheless. The intelligence has come into special focus for the World Cup in Brazil in part because Germany has never won here on the continent with their three World Cup titles won in Switzerland (1954), West Germany (1974) and Italy (1990).

Our newly rebranded communications regulator faces many challenges
by Grace Githaiga 04 Jul '14

04 Jul '14

Recently, the communications regulator formerly known as CCK rebranded, and is now known as the Communication Authority of Kenya.During the launch ceremony presided over by none other than President Uhuru Kenyatta, the chairman of the regulatory board handed over to the Exchequer a fat cheque of Sh4 billion in dividends from the previous year. An additional sweetener of Sh2.3 billion was handed over to the Treasury in the form of the ten-year renewal licence fee paid by Safaricom. http://www.nation.co.ke/oped/blogs/dot9/walubengo/Communications-regulator-…

The Internet Governance Forum (IGF) has brought together people from government, private sector, technical community, academia and civil society to discuss Internet governance issues on an equal basis through an open and inclusive process at a series of annual meetings since 2008 in an informal setting, free from binding negotiations. This type of cooperative engagement is usually referred to as the multistakeholder model of Internet Governance, which is one of the key features for the Internet's success. This model is paramount to ensure that the Internet remains sustainable for economic and social development The IGF is a unique platform for all stakeholders to openly exchange perspectives and concerns on key issues that may affect the future of the Internet for millions of Kenyans. Issues dealt by the IGF include: Privacy, Digital content, Human rights, and Interconnection. Every year, we organize the Kenya IGF in partnership with other stakeholders to address key Internet issues. The theme for this year's IGF is Connecting Counties for Enhanced Multistakeholder Internet Governance. Event Venue: Strathmore University, Ole Sangale Road Event website: http://kenyaigf.or.ke/ Registration page: http://www.eventbrite.com/e/2014-kenya-internet -governance-forum-tickets-11801018163?aff=es2&rank=0 We are pleased to invite you to this national event.

Re: [kictanet] Kenya IGF 2014 Online Discussions Connecting Counties for Enhanced MultiStakeholder Internet Governance Day 1 Policies Enabling Access
by Barrack Otieno 26 Jun '14

26 Jun '14

Lister's, According to a recent report that was commissioned by ICANN and published by the Boston Consulting Group entitled, The Connected World, greasing the wheels of the Internet Economy, digitally driven economic growth continues to be one of the few bright spots in a sluggish global economy. Reducing or eliminating numerous factors that inhibit online interactions and exchange could cause this growth to be even faster and could have an even bigger impact. Questions 1) To what extent is the policy environment facilitating the expansion of infrastructure which is one of the major factors limiting access to online activity? 2) To what extent is the policy environment facilitating the development of skilled labour and availability of Capital that would support the development of digital businesses? 3) To what extent is the growth and development of payment systems and enhancement of data security affecting the degree to which citizens and consumers engage in online activities? 4)To what extent is the policy environment promoting the use of local content as well as facilitating Internet openness? The floor is open

Re: [kictanet] Security Situation in Kenya
by Peter Wakaba 25 Jun '14

25 Jun '14

Government was supposed to export abroad and train, in britain and israel an initial 250 newly recruited and trained police officers handpicked from our universities for this purpose. I happen to know that the budget for this training is rather generous and a lot of the capbilities for this system are not in public domain. Safaricom does not oversee the security curriculum and apart from two people (both young kenyans) who are exclusively responsible and intimately involved with most parts of the project everything else is GOK. Ethiopia has been trying to put together a new generation digital monitoring and security system with aspects similar to what kenya i doing. Their consultant was kenyan. they have the same Huawei/ZTE mess we have. dont forget that in security issues what you see is not often what inr eality is the case. And meanwhile, the criminals, run and hide ads are still running.
