#101 Somalia: The Challenges to Providing Humanitarian Aid
14 October 2011

#99 Children With HIV Need More Treatment Options: DNDi Aims To Help Fill The Void
28 September 2011
Without proper treatment, half of the 370,000 children newly infected with HIV last year will die before they reach their second birthday. But very few medicines are designed and adapted specifically for children, and are affordable and practical to use in the places where they live. The Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative (DNDi) recently announced a new project to help develop appropriate HIV drugs for children.
#97 In Aweil Hospital, South Sudan, Focused On The Most At Risk
02 August 2011
In the world's newest country, three out of four people have no access to basic health care. Women and children bear the brunt of this neglect: many women do not survive pregnancy or childbirth, and children die from preventable diseases and malnutrition. MSF is running 13 projects focused on these issues.
What Is Podcasting?
Podcasting is the use of RSS feeds (see RSS) to distribute multimedia content.
A podcast is an audio or video file that you can play on your computer or mobile media player. Think of it as a radio program or television show that you download over the Internet and enjoy at your convenience.
You can subscribe to podcasts using a special program called a podcasting client. The client can be set up to download the latest editions of your favorite podcasts as soon as they become available, and then copy them to your media player.
Usually individual episodes of a podcast can also be downloaded from the podcast's web site.
Free Podcasting Clients
Juice (Windows, Mac and Linux) is a popular free podcast client.
Apple iTunes (Windows and Mac) supports podcasting.
Windows users can also try Doppler or RSSRadio.
Podnova is a podcast search engine.
