In a previous note, the study findings of which were culled from science development news, I cared to help disseminate the finding that sand can serve as water filter. Accordingly, the practice has been around as an indigenous technology for centuries now in Asia.
That holds true for surface water, a fact that can change as the ground water is pumped out from wells. As in the case of Bangladesh, where deep wells serve as common water utilities, many deaths have arisen due to the arsenic levels of the water.
What natural materials could serve as effective filter for arsenic? The news below, culled from scidev.net, can help enlighten us about the question. More >

Disaster risk reduction is among the buzzwords circulated by development stakeholders worldwide. The phraseology has caught up with the chief execs of nation-states, among which is President Asif Ali Zadari of Pakistan.
Excessive risk levels of whatever kind can be very taxing on the investment climate. Risk management is among the entrepreneurial paradigms and tools of the day, with ‘best practices’ already in the works among market players. High-risk prone areas such as the Kashmir, where both politico-military risk and geo-hazards converge, will suffice enough to serve as ‘barriers to entry’ of eager market players there. More >

Tough anti-gay African bureaucrats and tyrants beware! Your politically incorrect mindsets will cost you an enormous lot in terms of aid cuts from donor countries.

Let’s all face it, fellow global citizens: HIV is tearing down populations, and the reversal towards an HIV-free environment just isn’t around the corner yet. The contingency of the moment HIV-wise is to make HIV research as tops in terms of funding. More >

In case people think that Haiti has already recovered from the catastrophe it encountered just over a year ago, think again. There are still too many tent relief centers in the country, most of which are run by the IOM or International Organization for Migration. More >

Poor nations refer to economies with per capita income of below US $1,000 per year. At least 30% of their families subsist in incomes of less than US$2 per day. Can its policy makers and market players even think of greening—energy sources, manufacturing, services—when their scarce resources must be used for providing jobs to the poor folks? More >

I already articulated on the septenary law or the Law of Seven in many articles of mine. Let me articulate again about the subject, with the note that the mahatmas and chohans of the spiritual Brotherhood were very particular about this law that is the hallmark of the divine wisdom released to the open public beginning in the late 1800s.
