ONE
ONE is an organization supported by more than 2 million people and growing, from all walks of life all around the world, uniting as one against extreme poverty. Agriculture is a key component of economic growth and poverty reduction, especially in Africa, where more than half the population relies on agriculture for survival.
The Food CrisisThe current rise in food prices has directed global attention towards issues of food security and agricultural productivity. Since 2005, the prices of staple foods have risen by 83% wheat and rice prices have hit 28 and 19 year peaks, respectively. Some of the factors behind the current price boom include population growth, changing diets, increased demand for biofuels, more frequent flooding and drought, trade distortions, and rising energy and transport costs. Global climate negotiations in 2008 offer international leaders a unique opportunity to address the impact that climate change is having on the world’s poor, especially in sub Saharan Africa. Climate change is clearly not a crisis of Africa’s making, yet the consequences of global warming will disproportionately hit Africa’s poor.

Olympic Drug Scandals
When Olympic is in the seen Drug Scandals always comes to our mind. There were several scandals of the 2004 Summer Olympics. The most prominent scandals involved banned steroid use and drug testing. In 2004, the Olympics oversaw at least 20 offences, the most for any Olympic Games. This is accredited to tougher tests rather than an increase in doping. Most of the tests, if proven positive, carried a minimum of a 2 year ban from competition for the athletes involved.Additionally, scandals arose involving officiating, among other reasons.
Russian sprinter Anton Galkin was expelled from the Olympic Games after testing positive for the steroid stanozolol. He had been tested after competing in the semifinals of the Men's 400 metres, where he finished in 4th place.
Irish showjumper Cian O'Connor's horse, Waterford Crystal, tested positive for fluphenazine and zuclophenthixol months after receiving a gold medal. The subsequent investigation was hampered by several suspicious events. When O'Connor requested a second test, the horse's B urine sample was stolen enroute to a laboratory. Documents about another horse belonging to O'Conner were stolen in a break-in at the Equestian Federation of Ireland's headquarters. Finally, in the spring of 2005, O'Connor was stripped of his gold medal. His horse's B blood sample, which was not stolen, tested positive for prohibited substances.
