Common Ground: Dialogue between the NTD and WASH sectors, for World Water Day and beyond » End the Neglect

Common Ground: Dialogue between the NTD and WASH sectors, for World Water Day and beyond » End the Neglect: "rom the point of view of an advocate for the neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) sector.

This opportunity is the result of a new partnership between Emory University’s Center for Global Safe Water, Children Without Worms (CWW) and the International Trachoma Initiative (ITI). These three organizations have committed to a partnership that will encourage actionable dialogue and increased coordination between the NTD and WASH sectors. In my role as WASH/NTD consultant, my objective is to find ways to bridge the gap between these two sectors and identify opportunities for collaboration.

The London Declaration on Neglected Tropical Diseases in January provided an important catalyst for dialogue. The Declaration solidified a global public-private partnership to eliminate or control 10 neglected tropical diseases by 2020. By calling for the development of sustainable control programs for these diseases, the NTD sector has effectively pledged commitment to work towards elimination or control of 10 NTDS."

Chavez running for seat on top UN rights body at View from Geneva

Chavez running for seat on top UN rights body at View from Geneva: "The governments of Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez and Pakistan are slated to run unopposed for seats on the UN’s 47-nation Human Rights Council this year, reported the independent monitoring group UN Watch, citing sources close to the UN.

“It’s an outrage,” said Hillel Neuer, executive director of the Geneva-based UN Watch, who announced the formation of an international coalition of parliamentarians and human rights groups to block both candidacies, “due to their poor records on human rights protection at home and on human rights promotion at the UN.”"

Domain Names - Picking The Low Hanging Fruit | Domaining365

Domain Names - Picking The Low Hanging Fruit | Domaining365: "Like any industry or business in its infancy, domaining was jump-started by people and companies picking, selling and developing the low hanging fruit, those most obvious domain opportunities that people now consider legends of a bygone golden era, when supposedly all you had to do is reach up and pluck. Of course we say “obvious” now, but it is far too easy to blow off those early innovators as simply being in the right place at the right time and not credit them as creative geniuses with the moxie that it took to get this ball rolling."
