Millennium Indicators The Millennium Development Goals Report 2013 was launched in Geneva by the Secretary-General on 1 July 2013. The report presents the yearly assessment of global and regional progress towards the MDGs. With the deadline for the MDGs on the horizon, this year's report examines where the targets have been met and where redoubled efforts are needed urgently to accelerate the progress.

Bill Gates and Condoms: Innovation Is No Substitute for Education Late last year, Bill Gates announced his mission to build the "Next Generation Condom." The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation had a contest for inventors, designers and manufactures to create a new and improved condom that would increase sensation and make use easier. The theory is that if we increase condom pleasure and ease of use, more people will use them. We have seen traditional condom companies introduce products in different textures, sizes and varieties for many years. We've seen studded condoms, sensitive condoms, thin condoms, large condoms, flavored condom, etc.
