BAMAKO， Jan. 14 (Xinhua) -- African and French leaders kicked off a summit here on Saturday under heavy security， focusing on key issues including peace and security， climate and economy.
The 27th Africa-France Summit was held under the theme of "Partnership， Peace and Emergence"， with participation of 35 heads of state and government， including French President Francois Hollande.
During this one-day summit， the French and African heads of state and government will focus on Africa's position in reinforcing peace and security， as well as climate and economic development.
Speaking at the opening ceremony， French President Francois Hollande said "as long as we are united， as long as we are of solidarity， as long as we are together to eradicate the threats to peace， we can succeed."
Hollande promised that France， a victim of terrorism， will train 25，000 African soldiers per year for the coming three years to help the continent tackle security issues.
"France will always be by the side of Mali， till the Malian authorities will be respected across the whole territory of Mali，" Hollande affirmed.
Hollande promised efforts to help with Africa's economic development.
He announced France will provide 23 billion euros in the coming five years to support the development of Africa.
A Franco-African investment Foundation is also to be set up by France and to be managed by a Franco-African team.
Malian President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita， for his part， said "the Summit of Bamako is not only a grand political and diplomatic rendezvous， it also opens up a space of exchanges for the social and economic forces".
"The Mali that welcomes you today cannot ignore the difficulties that it faced during the re-conquest of stability，" Keita said during his opening speech， referring to the terrorist threats in northern Mali as well as in other parts of Africa.
Some 60 senior representatives of French and African companies are also here in Bamako to participate in the Africa-France Economic Forum.
More than 10，000 people have been mobilized to ensure the security of this summit， which is considered as a come-back of Mali after the political instability since 2012.
In the margin of the summit， the heads of state and government of the Economic Community Of West African States (ECOWAS) will also meet with Gambian President-elect Adama Barrow to discuss a solution to end the political crisis in Gambia.
First held in France in 1973， the Africa-France Summit aims to maintain and boost relations between France and Africa.

SAN FRANCISCO Yan Gomes Jersey , Oct. 5 (Xinhua) -- A new online science game, called Stall Catchers, allows the general public to contribute to Alzheimer's disease research and help researchers search for a cure.
Developed by the Human Computation Institute, in collaboration with the University of California, Berkeley, and other institutions, the game is part of the EyesOnALZ citizen science project that allow participants to look at movies of real blood vessels in mouse brains and search for clogged capillaries, or stalls, where blood is no longer flowing.
Previous research suggests that capillary stalls could be a key culprit in Alzheimer's disease.
Data analysis in Alzheimer's disease research, such as searching for stalls, is a time-consuming task that can cause a single research question to take up to a year to answer in the lab. The EyesOnALZ project aims to accelerate the analysis of these data with the help of citizen scientists playing Stall Catchers so that researchers can find targets for treatment of Alzheimer's faster.
""Today, we have a handful of lab experts putting their eyes on the research data,"" Pietro Michelucci, principal investigator for EyesOnALZ, was quoted as saying by a news release from UC Berkeley. ""If we can enlist thousands of people to do that same analysis by playing an online game, then we have created a huge force multiplier in our fight against this dreadful disease.""
The citizen science approach was developed by physicist Andrew Westphal, a senior fellow at the UC Berkeley Space Sciences Laboratory. It was first used in a project called Stardust@home, in which more than 30,000 amateur scientists have carried out more than 100 million searches to identify interstellar dust in collectors returned by the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Stardust comet sampling mission.
Stardust@home led to the discovery of seven particles of likely interstellar origin, reported in the journal Science in 2014.
Referring to Stall Catchers, Westphal said ""we are optimistic that this citizen science approach will be similarly successful in accelerating research aimed at finding a cure for Alzheimer's disease.""
Already tested by more than 100 people, including volunteers from well-known citizen science projects such as Stardust@home, Stall Catchers will be open to everyone and is free to play on a laptop, tablet or smartphone. ""Stall Catchers will not only be a breakthrough in how we do Alzheimer's research, but it will also empower anyone to directly contribute to fighting a disease that affects them or their loved ones,"" Michelucci said.
" Males, who ejaculate semen within one or two minutes of penetration into her genital passage, are suffering from early discharge. Weak erection prevents males to satisfy their females. Males aged above 40 years usually suffer from low energy levels. Sexual exhaustion and low libido are common in older males. Booster capsule is one of the best ayurvedic supplements to cure ED and PE. It also offers treatment for fatigue and reduced muscle mass. It helps to regain youthfulness and revive your energy levels.
Lawax capsules, Booster capsules and Mast Mood oil are developed using potent herbs like Withania Somnifera, Ashphaltum Puniabiunum, Myri.
