This article shows how Australia is trying its best to aid the Women's Right department and introduce financial aids, safety, violence prevention and granting more space on the parliamentary seats to be granted more say in decision making. It is noteworthy how they are doing this because they know that in order for a country to reach it's full potential, it has to maximize the use of human resources in the country.

The Argentinean government is currently investigating 11 projects to be part of the country's new renewable energy initiative. Four projects have already been approved by the government and are awaiting financial aid in order to begin taking form. One of these projects comes from China's Sky Solar Holdings. The other projects are likely to be approved in the coming months and will help the country reach its 2013 renewable energy goals effectively.

Anissa Eckhoff on 14 Mar 13

The second wettest summer on record was followed by a harsh winter, flooded grazing land and ruined crops, all resulting in soaring feed prices many farmers struggle to pay. Food prices today are roughly twice what they were six years ago - in some cases even triple. A poorer diet for the livestock has resulted in smaller animals which are less marketable, less fertile and make far less money for farmers.

"What makes this Monday so remarkable is that for the first time in four decades, none of the energy is derived from a nuclear reactor... Before the Fukushima disaster, Japan relied on nuclear for about 30% of its energy. As reactors have come off-line, the country has increased its imports of fossil fuels."

"This is both hopeful and sad. When girls are discarded, because they are not the preferred offspring it not only is a tragedy for the girls themselves but the society at large. Where will the young men go when they are grown and there are not enough women? Bless those who preserve these young ladies who hold India's future." - a comment for the video

But when it comes to negotiating and signing peace deals on a national or international level they are almost universally shut out, according to a report that calls for a more balanced approach to resolving conflict.
