Pressing challenges facing the world today
"I want to give people like you who have more tomorrows than yesterdays a chance to be a part of this at an early stage. I want you to own this...I want you to be proud. I want you to talk to people about what you did here tonight. This is more rewarding in some ways than anything I’ve ever done." – President Bill Clinton

President Bill Clinton prepares to celebrate his 64th birthday on Thursday, August 19

Since 2001 the Clinton Foundation has worked to strengthen the capacity of governments and individuals to alleviate poverty, improve global health, strengthen economies, and protect the environment. Each year, we build on our success to find new ways to help more people through new partnerships, programs, and approaches. Hear about some of our recent accomplishments.



As President Bill Clinton prepares to celebrate his 64th birthday on Thursday, I'm hoping you'll help me give him something truly special this year -- a gift in keeping with the spirit of his work and his dedication to improving lives around the world.

We've put together a birthday wish list for him with projects that we know he's hoping to take on this year -- and already hundreds of supporters have pitched in.

Touching lives from Malawi to Colombia, these are projects that will create sustainable solutions to poverty, disease, global warming, and inequality.

In honor of his birthday this week, help President Clinton make these projects a reality. Then send him a personalized e-card letting him know what you picked out.

His wish list is an ambitious set of goals for the progress of his Foundation -- composed of specific needs he identified when he visited many of these locations over the last year. Before his 65th birthday, he wants to reduce malnutrition of Colombian schoolchildren by 10 percent, give more than 20,000 farmers in Malawi the tools to improve their lives, and much more.

WERI, President Clinton and his Foundation rely on the support of individuals like you to accomplish such ambitious projects. Don't miss out on this opportunity to help celebrate his birthday and become a crucial part of our work around the world for the coming year.

Will you make a gift toward an item on President Clinton's wish list?

Afterward, you'll be able to send him a personalized e-card letting him know what you've picked out.


P.S. You can also contribute toward President Clinton's birthday wish list using Causes on Facebook.

Harmful Marine Dinoflagellates

Harmful Marine Dinoflagellates
This treatise represents a comprehensive, up-to-date multifunctional dinoflagellate identification database featuring information on 69 species of harmful marine dinoflagellates and associated species present in the world's oceans. This database includes 44 toxin-producing species, brevetoxins, saxitoxins and ciguatoxins, and seven nuisance species that produce 'red tides' often resulting in massive sea life mortalities. In addition to the species description, information is available on the morphology, reproduction, ecology, toxicity, and habitat and locality for each species. A comprehensive glossary of more than 120 related scientific terms, and an extensive literature reference collection containing about 500 citations is included. There are nearly 600 figures illustrating every species via scanning electron micrographs (60%), light micrographs 120%), and/or line drawings (20%). The matrix-based identification key allows for multiple entry of characters to facilitate fast and effective diagnosis of a given species.

The Agromyzidae (mining flies) are a highly diverse dipteran family of exclusively phytophagous species. The world fauna consists of about 2,750 species. Of these, some 110 species are known to occur on cultivated crops. A number of species are of particular importance, especially Liriomyza and Ophiomya.

Chironomidae Larvae Key to the Higher Taxa and Species of the Lowlands of Northwestern Europe
The Chironomidae form a cosmopolitan family of small nematocerous flies represented by some 1,300 species in the West Palaearctic Region. Chironomid larvae are widely distributed and the vast majority have aquatic juvenile stages which, on average, comprise one third of the invertebrate species in freshwater habitats. This usual abundance, and the fact that a number of species are pollution-tolerant, make chironomidae ideal indicator species in monitoring the quality of surface waters.
