The global sanitation crisis continues to affect the lives of 2.4 billion people who lack access to safe sanitation. In India alone, over 520 million practice open defecation, which severely increases the risk of neonatal mortality, stunting and contracting infectious diseases.
Although lack of latrines or using them has been widely cited in the mass media as a key factor driving open defecation, very few quantitative studies have focused on it. To address this evidence gap, 3ie is supporting several impact evaluations of interventions to promote latrine use in rural India. We are also committed to supporting the use of quality research evidence to inform decision-making.
In solidarity with World Toilet Day 2017, 3ie organised a panel discussion on the use of evidence to inform India’s sanitation policies and programming on 17 November.

While financial inclusion and financial deepening can promote economic growth and contribute significantly to denting poverty and inequality that is rampant in the region, there are also concerns that it could aggravate systemic risk and financial instability. Various dimensions of financial inclusion will be explored in this day and a half research workshop hosted by the Institute for Emerging Market Studies (IEMS) at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and co-sponsored by Centre on Asia and Globalisation (CAG), at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy (LKYSPP), National University of Singapore (NUS).

I made the decision the other day to expand that state thing I've been doing to include supplementals touching on certain historic points I suspect may be essential to understanding why certain state-related things happened. I originally meant for there to be one, then expended it to two, and now am thinking there might need to be four or five. It's a self-indulgent expansion, but then the whole project is fairly self-indulgent, so I'm going with it. The upshot, though, is that I won't post the thing today I thought I was going to post, so instead I'll post this picture of an old car driving into Michigan from Indiana along a route we've started taking to avoid highway construction. To reference an old car commercial, this is your father's Oldsmobile. I'm not sure of the model year. I'm thinking '59.
This post represents another one of those accounting dilemmas I get hung up on every once in a while, as this drive was the start of a weekend trip up to Ludington, Michigan. The question is, do I consider this a "trip" and give it its own trip album? On the one hand, we did spend two nights in a tent in the national forest just north of Ludington. On the other hand, Ludington's close enough to almost be considered home territory. I've gone both ways on Ludington trips in the past. This time, I think I'll give it an album, but I might change my mind later on.
This is a more important question than you might guess. I recently had somebody defriend me early in the process of posting trip pictures after complaining that I'd used the trip's destination for the name of the album despite having not yet posted any pictures from that destination. People take these things seriously.

To commemorate its 100th anniversary, IBM commissioned a unique public exhibition called THINK. The exhibition is an examination and a celebration of the human approach to understanding and improving the world through science and technology.
Upon entering the exhibition, visitors pass an LED wall showing live data feeds in vivid color. Once inside, visitors encounter a glowing forest of screens. A breathtaking film charts man’s patterns of progress and understanding. Sosolimited programmed the five interactives that appear on the screens at the end of the film. These interactives explore the history of our progress through Seeing, Mapping, Understanding, Believing, and Acting.
The interactives are visually striking and intuitive, providing visitors with an expansive collection of images, stories, and interviews. These multitouch software applications were designed to seamlessly display large collections of data at high frame rates. We developed the software with OpenFrameworks libraries.
The project was a collaboration between SYPartners, Ralph Applebaum & Associates, George P Johnson, Mirada, and Sosolimited.
