Haiti At Crossroads

After several years of social and political unrest aggravated by recurrent hurricanes, floods, droughts and other natural disasters which hampered its development, Haiti is at a crossroads. Recent democratic elections and the stabilization process backed by the international community create an environment conducive to recovery.

To help the island reverse the trend, Food and Agriculture Organization needs some US$14 million for the early recovery of the agriculture based livelihoods. This amount is part of a $97.9 million UN Transitional Appeal. The appeal also aims at reducing vulnerability among the population and ensuring better preparation for natural disasters.

Google to deliver more Nasa images

Google and the Nasa Ames research centre have announced an agreement to deliver more of the space agency's imagery and information through Google's search engine. Under the arrangement, Ames will feed Google with its weather forecasting information, and real-time tracking of the International Space Station and space shuttle flights so the pictures and data are available to anyone with an internet connection.

Google already draws upon some of Nasa's imagery to provide internet users with interactive tours of Mars as part of a nine-month-old service. Google's chief executive said that partnering with Nasa makes perfect sense for Google, as it has a wealth of technical expertise and data that will be of great use to Google.
