10 billion dollars for vaccines by Gates!

DAVOS, Switzerland (AFP) - – Microsoft chairman Bill Gates, the world's richest man, on Friday promised 10 billion dollars (7.2 billion euros) to develop "miracle" vaccines for the world's poorest nations.

Gates announced at the World Economic Forum that the money will come over the next decade from the foundation he runs with his wife Melinda, and that vaccines will become the charity's top priority.

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has now committed more than 25 billion dollars to various health projects, especially targeting AIDS and polio and other diseases that hit poor countries.

"We must make this the decade of vaccines," Gates said in Davos. "Vaccines already save and improve millions of lives in developing countries.

"Increased investment in vaccines by governments and the private sector could help developing countries dramatically reduce child mortality by the end of the decade," Gates said in a statement.

Melinda Gates added: "Vaccines are a miracle -- with just a few doses, they can prevent deadly diseases for a lifetime.

"Weve made vaccines our number-one priority at the Gates Foundation because weve seen first hand their incredible impact on childrens lives," she added.

UN agencies and campaign groups welcomed Gates stunning announcement.

"The Gates Foundations commitment to vaccines is unprecedented, but needs to be matched by unprecedented action," said World Health Organisation director general Margaret Chan.

"Its absolutely crucial that both governments and the private sector step up efforts to provide life-saving vaccines to children who need them most."

One, the activist group set up by rock singer Bono to fight against poverty and preventable disease, said Gates's money "is a testament to their belief in catalyzing transformative change."

But it also said that western governments and institutions must "accelerate their own investments in effective organizations."

Article related to Haiti: Haiti people need to learn to start from zero

Only one person in two among the Haitian population of more than nine million people has access to clean drinking water, and only 19 percent have decent sanitation.
On Friday, Ecuadoran President Rafael Correa became just the second foreign leader to visit Haiti since the quake, lending his voice to international calls for more emergency relief and assistance with reconstruction.

"This is a tragedy, a humanitarian tragedy. Haiti at this moment represents the pain of victims but also hope," Correa said.

Haitians living in sprawling makeshift camps in the ruins of Port-au-Prince and elsewhere complain that the flood of international aid arriving in the country is trickling down too slowly.

Many are trying to rebuild their lives, with marketplaces springing up on streets around the capital, although business is tough.

"It's very hard -- there aren't many buyers, but there are lots of sellers," said 24-year-old Rose Gardy-Joseph, sitting next to a basket full of colourful sweets, soft cheese and napkins.

But survivors also face rising insecurity, with thousands of criminals on the loose after the main jail collapsed in the quake and reports of rape and violence plaguing the weak and vulnerable.

The deputy head of the UN mission in Haiti, Anthony Banbury, said the United Nations did not want huge tent cities later turning into slums where there was poor sanitation, no security and child abuse.

The United Nations, along with aid agencies and security forces, must "do things smart, as well as fast, and that's a big challenge for us now," Banbury said.

The US State Department said it was spearheading a coordinated effort together with UNICEF, the Haitian government, the Red Cross and other agencies to combat the potential trafficking of children.

Rise of disease in quake hit Haiti

PORT-AU-PRINCE (AFP) - – "Several medical teams report a growing case load of diarrhea in the last two to three days," World Health Organization spokesman Paul Garwood said.

"There are also reports of measles and tetanus, including in resettlement camps, which is worrisome due to the high concentration of people," he told journalists in Geneva.

Haiti's desperate earthquake survivors faced a new deadly threat Friday as the United Nations reported a rise in cases of diarrhea, measles and tetanus in squalid tent camps for victims.

A vast foreign aid effort is struggling to meet survivors' needs 17 days after the disaster, which killed around 170,000 people and left one million homeless and short of food, water and medical attention.

And with medicine running low amid efforts to treat hundreds of thousands of injured and homeless cramped into makeshift camps, officials and aid groups are scrambling to avoid a potential public health calamity that could push the death toll higher.

UN agencies and Haiti's government aim to launch a vaccination campaign against measles, tetanus and diphtheria next week. Just 58 percent of Haitian infants were immunized before the quake, Garwood said.

He highlighted a "critical" need for surgeons, with an estimated 30 to 100 amputations being carried out every day in some hospitals, while supplies of anesthetics and antibiotics were also needed.

The 7.0-magnitude quake on January 12 decimated Haiti's already meager health system, creating conditions for disease to thrive in cramped refugee camps.

Ludacris Cognac Conjure!

The Ludacris empire continues to expand. His recent endeavour involves his very own Cognac line. The announcement was made at Wine and Spirits show, Vinexpo, which took place this week in Bordeaux, France. The unique line, named Conjure, will be a joint enterprise between himself, and owner of the Birkedal Hartmann Cognac brand, Kim Hartmann

Conjure will target the urban market, but not simply by celebrity endorsement.
“It’s not just me attaching my name to it,” the Atlanta star told the Agence France-Presse. “Whenever I involve myself in a business, I submerge myself in it.”

Ludacris spent a week last January experimenting with over 40 new flavours until a taste was created which he felt would favour the targeted urban market.

“I wanted to learn as much as possible. It was great. It gave me a new appreciation for Cognac,” Ludacris stated.

Ludacris has certainly done his homework, as an estimated 60-80 percent of Cognac sales are from African Americans, in the American market. Cognac has long been associated with hip hop culture, and referenced by Jay-Z, Tupac, Nas and Dr. Dre in various songs.

The first batch of orders are due to ship to Norway on the 1st July. Then in September, Ludacris is hoping to import 1 million bottles into America.

What is the meaning of "mandation" for Sarah Louise Palin?

Do you know what the word “mandation” mean? Zi think no one knows the meaning of that word because such word do not exist in any dictionary worldwide. Recently this word is used by Sarah Louise Palin when criticizing about the US Presiden Obama. Sarah Louise Palin is an American politician serving Alaska as the governer from 2006to 2009. Being an author of various books, she used this term to do her job as a critic to get some extra attention and the use of this kind of word expresses her ability to “how much importance word has to move the world” for nothing. Various websites like CBS and Now Public report about Sarah Palin’s use of the word ‘mandation’. Though, grammatically there is no such word.

peta, peta ads controversial, peta ad, peta add, peta state of the union undress 2009

PETA has released its “State of the Union Undress,” in anticipation of the presidential address that takes place on Wednesday. And keeping up with true PETA style, the speech is as raunchy as their ads.

In the “State of the Union Undress”, you can see a very curvaceous woman who pronounces PETA’s goals to “turn Americans on” to a better way of living and at the same time she urges Americans to “take matters into their own hands” by following a veegetarian lifestyle.

That’s when the hot PETA spokeswoman slowly strips to her underwear.
It is a little hilarious when the camera then shows shots of a smiling aged Congressman John Dingell as well as First Lady Michelle Obama giving the spokeswoman a nod.

This is definitely one hot way to make people to think about animal cruelty.

Tipping Point

It is clear that 2010 represents a tipping point in global history, and that the management of our future requires us above all to do it in the framework of rethinking our values, redesigning our systems and rebuilding our institutions.

One of the fundamental preconditions in rethinking our values framework should not only be anchored on social responsibility and environmental sustainability, but also on increased equity.

Rethinking our values provides the foundation for the necessary redesign of our systems, adapting them to the needs of society in the 21st century. This redesign must take place on all levels, but particularly on the global level, comprising the necessary framework, for example, for global financial and trade flows. These redesign efforts require a common vision, collaborative innovation and public-private partnerships for their long-term success.

Rethinking our values and redesigning our systems naturally leads to the rebuilding of our institutions - to make them more proactive and strategic; more inclusive, fostering greater multistakeholder engagement; more reflective of the new geo-political and geo-economic structures; and more inclusive of inter-generational accountability and responsibility.

The bricks we are using to build the post-crisis world can be found in new concepts which are based on greater citizen involvement and stronger government partnerships with other non-state actors. We have to incorporate much more expertise and knowledge into our global decision-making processes; we have to use social networking as an empowerment tool and more effectively harness our digital capital; we have to listen more intensively to the next generation.

While there are many existing institutions that are well-placed to look at discrete aspects of the challenges facing the world, none have the mandate to examine the global situation in an integrated and holistic manner, nor do they have the range of stakeholders and constituencies that would enable them to perform such a task adequately.

It is clear that what the world needs most today is integration and cooperation. We will never meet the challenges if we do it alone. We must reach beyond our own silos, building links with other people and organizations.

The basis of any progress made in the complex and fast moving world of the 21st century is the capability to understand the motivations of all the different stakeholders of society and to gain true insights into the nature of the issues. This can only be achieved through dialogue amongst those who have responsibility for shaping the global agenda. Such a discourse is the precondition for sound and enlightened decision-making. To provide the platform for such a comprehensive and authentic dialogue is the unique contribution which Davos – at the beginning of each year – can make to the world

Erica Fox in Bitten

Erica Cox was born in Canada. She has black hair and hazel eyes. Her measurements are 5′8.” She has studied acting in Toronto at Second City and Armstrong Acting Studio. She has also studied with Judith Thompson at the University of Guelph, Ontario.

Canadian actress Erica Cox though not as yet counted as an A-listed actor but she did an excellent work in Bitten movie. Bitten was an spine chiller of 2008. The super suspense thriller movie was a landmark for Erica Cox where she shows the glimpse of her talent.

Bitten was a low budget vampire movie about a paramedic who is frustrated with his life after he breaks up with his girlfriend. The show stars a paramedic named Jack who discovers gilr-Danika (Erica Cox) in an alley way covered in blood, clinging to life. She refuses to go to the hospital and so he takes her in and cares for her as her health restores. Jack takes Danika in and soon discovers that she is a vampire. He falls in love with her and, as time goes by, he find out his new love interest is a vampire. Yes a man fall in love to a vampire!

The movie was directed by Harvey Glazer and written by Tim McGregor and Tyler Levine. It arrives in a cinematic climate that is very welcoming of vampire themed movies. In fact, as far as a Bitten movie goes, there is a lot of competition from other vampire movies with a comedic theme.

Apple ipad

The iPad isn't a replacement for anything. It's a new paradigm. It's not a creation device. It's a consumption device.The IPad from Apple will be first and foremost a content-consumption device.

That content will include web pages, downloaded audio and video, ebooks unlike anything a Kindle or Nook can offer, and interactive games with in-game level and attribute purchases.

The failures of other tablet tries such as GO Corporation's PenPoint OS, the GRiDPAD 2050SL, and Microsoft's Windows for Pen Computing teach us exactly nothing about the future of the iPad.

Apple wants you to watch TV on your iPad. Otherwise, it wouldn't be talking to CBS and Disney about subscription TV. It wants you to read enhanced "redefined print" content on your iPad - or it wouldn't be holding "secret meetings" with New York book publishers or talking with HarperCollins, one of the mega publishers looking to standardize ebook formats, publishing systems, and sales.

There is a rumor that Apple is in talks with Microsoft about a deal to ditch Google and go Bing - a search engine with a graphic-heavy style that's a natural for the iPad.

Apple iPad would be available from the company from the 1st of March for 499 Euros with a T-Mobile contract.The price without contract would be 899 Euros. At around £800 on its own, the iPad would be significantly more expensive than a stand alone iPhone or iPod Touch..

How your life changes with ipad??
1. Good entertainment
2. Start to love printed words.
3. Interaction with world become easier
4. Games!
