Tigo (Pvt.) Limited, has stepped forward to take the initiative to provide opportunities for our children to ‘access today’s world through education’. Tigo has set the pace to take knowledge where it is needed most. With a vision of enabling our children to access knowledge, Tigo has selected some of the most deserving and deprived schools where they will set up a Tigo Knowledge Centre a well versed reading library. Most of the reading materials available are relevant to the student’s everyday academic lessons, thereby aiding them with the proper required knowledge to be well versed in theses respective areas.

With a mission aligned with Tigo’s ‘3 A strategy’, this CSR project is one which focuses on Availability (access to knowledge readily available), Affordability (targeting children from low income earning families) and Accessibility (bringing knowledge to where the needs are.)

The Center was declared open by Mr. Riyaaz Rasheed Chief Financial Officer Tigo. “As a company that recognizes that knowledge is the foundation of tomorrow’s generation and future professionals, Tigo takes pride in providing such opportunities through the Knowledge Centre” said Mr. Rasheed. The opening was carried out with the presence of the principle, teachers, students as well as Tigo’s management team, staff, business partners and customers.

The school principle expressed his gratitude for the resources and the opportunity, saying that the students are talented and keen to learn. He embraced this gesture with open arms, thanking Tigo for enriching Sri Lanka’s future generations with the gift of knowledge.

In abrupt turnaround, Olympus admits it hid losses

Japan's Olympus admitted on Tuesday it hid losses on securities investments dating back two decades, bowing to weeks of pressure to explain a series of baffling transactions that have put the future of the firm in doubt. The revelations by the 92-year-old company appear to vindicate ex-CEO Michael Woodford, who has staged a campaign since being sacked on October 14 to force the firm to come clean on nearly $1.5 billion in questionable payments. Olympus President Shuichi Takayama blamed Tsuyoshi Kikukawa, who quit as president and chairman on October 26, Vice-President Hisashi Mori and internal auditor Hideo Yamada for the cover-up, saying he would consider criminal complaints against them. The admission after weeks of denials shocked investors, sending shares in the endoscope and camera maker skidding almost 30 percent and prompting the biggest non-Japanese shareholder to demand the replacement of the entire board. "Ignorance is no defense," said Jo...

Last year's iPhones are destroying Samsung's new Galaxy S9 flagship smartphone - Bench Mark Results

Samsung announced the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+, the latest entries in its flagship line of smartphones, at Barcelona's Mobile World Congress — but benchmark results are awkwardly showing the devices scoring significantly lower than many of their competitors. Benchmarks are synthetic tests that give numeric, quantifiable results. They are generally applications programmed to make the devices' systems-on-a-chip (SoC) run a series of tasks and determine how long it takes them to complete. AnandTech is a site that specialises in running rigorous tests like these, and its early findings on Samsung's latest devices are curious to say the least— particularly compared to the latest iPhones, Qualcomm's Snapdragon 845 — which will power most of the Android flagships this year — and even Samsung's own Galaxy S8 from last year. In a number of tests — such as web browsing, writing, data manipulation, and photo editing — the Galaxy S9's Exynos 9810 consistently deliv...

Microsoft nears $8.5 billion Skype buy in web shift

Microsoft is close to buying internet telephony network Skype in an $8.5 billion deal, a source familiar with the situation said, as it seeks to regain ground on growing rivals such as Google. Buying the loss-making but popular Skype would underline Microsoft's need to gain new customers and platforms for its software as smartphones and tablets explode in popularity. Skype, which allows people to make calls at no charge, would also give Microsoft a foothold in potentially the lucrative video-conferencing market as global businesses seeking to reduce expenditure shift to lower-cost ways of communicating. Microsoft has already put more energy and resources into mobile and internet technologies as the use of PCs, which underpin its Windows and Office franchise, is under threat. This change was starkly illustrated last year when Apple's portfolio of coveted consumer goods propelled it past Microsoft to become the world's most valuable technology company. The maker of iPhones an...
