Seventh Sanctum - Welcome To The Page Of Generators! Mauritius’ Cyber City attracts business from across the globe A small sugar-growing economy 50 years ago, Mauritius is now a hub for business growth thanks to the careful development of its manufacturing, tourism and ICT sectors Mauritius, an island of 1860sq km in the Indian Ocean, has since independence in 1968, transformed itself from a monocrop to a diversified economy. The GDP per capita has grown rapidly from $550 in 1970 to $15,600 in 2012. Considering the island is devoid of any mineral or other natural resources – except for its exquisite beauty as a paradise island – it has made tremendous progress. It has taken every opportunity offered by international economic agreements such as the sugar protocol, the Lomé Convention, Africa Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA). In 1968, sugar and its by-products made up more than 90 percent of Mauritius’s total exports of goods: by 1990 it had fallen to 32 percent, and by 2012 to 4.5 percent. tourists visited Mauritius in 1970 tourists visited Mauritius in 2012

India's big smart city challenge -Infrastructure- Transforming India, Moneycontrol Urbanization can be simply defined as the rise of cities vis-a-vis the rural landscape. As a country moves ahead on the road to progress, cities tend to take center stage. In that manner, the rise of cities has often been construed as an indicator of development and progress. The case has been no different when it comes to India. While the pace of urbanization was a bit slack in the early years post-independence, it has really picked pace in the past few decades, especially in the post-1991 phase. Yet, the picture of an urban India is far from rosy. Why India needs more planned cities? A 2010 study conducted by McKinsey Global Institute (MGI) points out that urbanization in India has been a victim of systemic inefficiencies and policy vacuum. It is imperative then to not only create new ‘smart’ cities, but also upgrade the existing ones. There has to be better cohesion between the various agencies responsible for urban development and planning. The road ahead

Body Paragraphs :: Writing Associates Program :: Swarthmore College The body of your paper must be coherent and well-written to guide readers through the steps of your argument. Here are some guidelines to help you craft successful body paragraphs. Topic Sentences Topic sentences should appear at the beginning of each body paragraph in your paper. Keep in mind that each body paragraph should only deal with ONE idea or aspect of your argument. When you finish writing, print out a hard copy of your paper and read it over, summarizing each paragraph in a few words. Evidence Since each topic sentence will provide a piece of your argument, the next step is to make sure that you show your readers why each assertion you've made is warranted. It's possible that not every paragraph will require evidence. Each paragraph that does provide parts of your argument will likely need evidence. Analysis Once you've presented your idea and the evidence that supports it, you must explain the connection between the two. Transitions
