El Ministro de Transportes y Comunicaciones, José Gallardo Ku, recibió del Gobierno del Japón equipos destinados a implementar un sistema de prevención de desastres que permitirá a la población recibir información rápida, precisa y estable sobre emergencias.
El sistema -que utilizará el estándar de Televisión Digital Terrestre japonés brasileño ISDB-T, que viene siendo implementado en el Perú- podría utilizarse en caso de que el Fenómeno El Niño afecte a alguna de las localidades beneficiadas.
El "Proyecto para el Mejoramiento del equipamiento para la Gestión del Riesgo de Desastres en la República del Perú" comprende la donación e implementación de ocho sistemas de observación de mareas; ocho sistemas EWBS (Emergency Warning Broadcasting System), conformados por estaciones de televisión digital terrestre-TDT con capacidad para transmitir la señal EWBS; y 15 receptores de TDT con capacidad de recibir esa señal.
El Instituto Nacional de Defensa Civil (INDECI) es el responsable de emitir señal la alerta, la cual llega al Instituto Nacional de Radio y Televisión (IRTP), que la difunde a los hogares de la población de las localidades beneficiarias, utilizando el sistema EWBS (a través de la señal de televisión digital).
Las estaciones de TDT con EWBS -que estarán ubicadas en Arequipa (Arequipa, 1; Camaná, 3), Ica (Pisco, 1), La Libertad (Trujillo, 4), Lima (Lima, 1; Cañete, 1), Moquegua (Ilo, 4)- no solo podrán transmitir alertas por tsunami, sino también sobre diversos tipos de desastres, como inundaciones, deslizamientos, incendios, entre otros.
Actualmente en el Perú la información de desastres se tramite vía telefónica, radial o por email, siendo alta la probabilidad de interrupción en la comunicación cuando ocurre un desastre de gran magnitud.
"La introducción de este nuevo Sistema EWBS hará posible que la población reciba información más rápida, precisa y estable sobre emergencias por desastres, lo que contribuirá a salvar vidas y reducir daños", señaló Gallardo Ku.
El Ministro Gallardo y el Viceministro de Comunicaciones del Japón, Yasuo Sakamoto, destacaron la importancia del fortalecimiento de la cooperación entre ambos países en el campo de la televisión digital, así como ampliar la relación de cooperación en el sector de las tecnologías de la información y comunicación (TIC).
La entrega de equipos se realizó en el marco de la inauguración del Seminario Internacional en materia de Televisión Digital Terrestre (TDT) y Tecnologías de la Información y Comunicaciones (TIC), que se realizará los días 14 y 15 de enero de 2016 en Lima y en el que participarán delegados de 15 empresas japonesas.

El Jefe del Ejecutivo del Estado aseveró que la transparencia y evaluación constante de la gestión pública, así como el combate sin tregua a la corrupción, constituyen prácticas habituales y duraderas desde el primer día de esta administración, por lo que se ha brindado atención al cien por ciento de las solicitudes de acceso a la información y la realización de auditorías a programas de inversión pública, cumpliendo estrictamente la normatividad aplicable en los procesos de licitación para la asignación de obras a empresas constructoras.
At a news conference in the Afghan capital of Kabul today, UNAMA released ‘
A Way to Go: An Update on Implementation of the Law on the Elimination of
Violence against Women in Afghanistan.’ Produced jointly with the Office of
the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), the annual report found
that Afghan authorities registered more reports of violence against women
under the law on the Elimination of Violence against Women (EVAW law) over
the past year, but prosecutions and convictions under the law remained low,
with most cases settled by mediation. “The EVAW law, when it is applied,
has provided protection to Afghan women facing violence,” said UNAMA’s
Director of Human Rights, Georgette Gagnon (shown in right image). “But
most women victims still remain largely unprotected due to a lack of
investigation into most incidents and continued under reporting of
pervasive violence against women and girls resulting from discrimination,
existing social norms and cultural practices, and fear of reprisals and
threat to life.” Enacted in 2009, the EVAW law criminalizes acts of
violence against women and harmful practices including child marriage,
forced marriage, forced self-immolation, baad (giving away a woman or girl
to settle a dispute) and 18 other acts of violence against women including
rape and beating. It also specifies punishment for perpetrators.

My response to www.flickr.com/photos/factoryjoe/3244608669/
I tried to follow the example, but typeset it differently, put more emphasis on the page being used by people new to the standard, who want to adhere to it. I am pretty sure I messed up the Object definition and hope Jyri will chime in to help.
On the right are metrics, which I am sure I will get yelled at for, but I have a feeling that companies and "white hat" marketing firms will be *very* interested in verb usage data. There is no reason that DiSo as a non-profit, or activitystrea.ms as a commercial enterprise, cannot make a little money in return for all their hard work.

Kavalcare Solar System for Jhpiego Mid-Wife Clinic Dec8, 2014
Every year, 12,000 women in Pakistan die of birth complications. The Maternal, Newborn and Child Health (MNCH) Services Component, implemented by MCHIP/Jhpiego, aims at preventing maternal, newborn, and child deaths by ensuring skilled birth attendance (SBA) through a total market approach, empowered community, timely referral of obstetric and neonatal complications to an emergency obstetric and newborn care (EmONC) facility, and improved access to child care.
Lack of electricity in remote areas is a major issue that often leads to obstetric complications and newborn deaths. Refrigerated storage is vital for the effectiveness of life saving drugs and vaccines. Ice boxes are used in remot areas of this purpose but it is an ineffective method especially when easy availability of ice is a problem. To overcome these issues, Lodhie Foundation in association with Maternal and Child Health Integrated Program/JHPIEGO, extended its Kavalcare program and provided a Solar Powered System to a remote clinic located at village Haji Usman Jhakro near Makli, District Thatta. System provides sufficient power to operate a small refrigerator, a fan and 3 lamps 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. It was designed, manufactured and installed by Shaan Technologies private Limited Karachi. After installation of Solar System in August 2014, this small remote clinic is serving a community of 10,000 plus persons who lives in village Haji Usman and surrounding areas. On an average 10 patients visits this clinic each day. Clinic also provides up to 15 birth attendance and new born care in a month.
Name of Village HAJI USMAN JAKHRO, MAKKLI, District Thatta

Strategies for Ensuring Successful Implementation and Dissemination of Intervention research, January 27-28, 2014 at the University of South Florida College of Nursing
We are very pleased to report the successful implementation of a running water project for Drokri (Herijiao) Community (Ninxiu (Nyin phyug) Township Town, Zeku (Rtse khog) County Town, Huangnan (Rma lho) Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province).
A contribution of 129,800RMB from the Rotary Club of Beijing and 15,065RMB from the Rotary Club of Muenchen Blutenburg, plus a local contribution of 86,280RMB, ensured clean water to 240 Tibetan residents (37 households).
Before the project, Drokri Community’s biggest problem was a lack of water. Locals had to travel 5 to 9 kilometers (6 to 7 hours) to water livestock and fetch drinking water. Fetching water was culturally assigned to women who carried 25 kg of water in plastic containers on a daily basis. Donkeys, motorcycles, old tires, and tractors were also used to haul water. Due to lack of adequate water, villagers rarely washed clothes and showered. Consequently, locals were vulnerable to illnesses caused by poor personal hygiene.
This project brought water to both local people and livestock and has solved environmental degradation problems in the community. Livestock were driven once every two days to the distant water source. Much grass was damaged and could not feed the livestock that lived on it. This resulted in villagers needing to buy grass to feed livestock, which reduced their annual income. Now, with multiple water taps in the community, livestock no longer travel far across grassland to a single water source.
Furthermore, conflict was common between neighbor families and communities due to sharing the water source between households. Locals easily became involved in serious fighting. However, this issue no longer exists as multiple water taps are available adjacent to local households.
During project implementation, the local water bureau provided support and facilitated challenges of project designs. Volunteers from the Rotary Club of Beijing, especially Regula Hwangma and Robert Xing, also contributed helpful insights in project design. Local community contributed both labor and cash for trench digging and engaged the project throughout implementation. Many local men also learned basic water maintenance skills such as connecting pipes and repair.
Finally, we sincerely thank you for bringing this great gift to us.

In her opening remarks, Dr. Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma, AUC Chairperson, recalled the first retreat in the city of Ethiopia Bahir Dar in 2014, where she introduced the Dream of the African People in “the e-mail from the future”, among others. “Two years ago, as we concluded the 50th anniversary of the OAU/AU, we met as in retreat in the city of Bahir Dar, to discuss the core responsibilities of this important organ, the Executive Council. It was then when I spoke about our dream of the Africa we want, in the e-mail from the future.
Two years later, as we gather here in Mekelle, Tigray region we can report that we have made some headway. As discussed at this retreat, we now have Agenda 2063 as our clarion call for action, supported by all sections of the African society”, stated the AUC Chairperson. She explained that, “we are now clear on the priorities of Agenda 2063, investing in our people, especially youth and women; in agricultural modernization and agro-businesses; in manufacturing and industrialization; the development of our infrastructure; democracy and developmental governance, as well as the need of silencing the guns by 2020.”
“Our Agenda 2063 flagship projects - such as the free movement of people, the Commodities strategy, the Pan African Integrated High speed Rail network - is taking off, and should help towards our vision of an integrated, peaceful and prosperous Africa, driven by its own people and taking its rightful place in the world”, underscored Dr. Dlamini Zuma.
Referring to the song on Agenda 2063 composed by a group of artists from Zimbabwe, played during the opening ceremony of the retreat, the AUC Chairperson called on other artists within the continent to emulate the good example. “ I would like to thank the Zimbabwean artists who came up with that song on Agenda 2063, and I challenge all of us to encourage our artists to compose as many songs as possible. Of course as the Chair of the Union, Zimbabwe led from the front”. She thanks the Mekelle authorities for hosting the AU Ministerial retreat and wished the Ministers fruitful deliberation. (See complete speech of the AUC Chairperson on the website: www.au.int ).
The Chairperson of the Executive Council on his part, recalled the high moments and priorities on Agenda 2063 saying “our Agenda is centred in the review of implementation of decisions taken during the 2nd Ministerial retreat and update on the implementation of the 1st ten year plan of Agenda 2063, the free movement of goods and persons, the issue of Immigration and tourism and wild life preservation”. Minister Mumbengegwi stressed that “as we continue streamlining and improving the working methods of our Union, we also need to consider how best we can align our bi-annual Summits in order to improve the effectiveness of our organisation and to give ourselves ample time to implement our decisions”. He expressed satisfaction to the fact that notable success has already been achieved in this vein, hence the need to proffering new and innovative ideas that will take the organisation to greater heights. (See complete speech of the Executive Chairperson on the AU Website: www.au.int) .

This farm implement was a clodbusters to level the fields to baby bottom smooth. This would be a clodhopper if it didn't have enough weight. In fact most would revel in the field smoothed with this device but frankly it mostly opened the soil for blowing to Kansas and even though the concept was to destroy the bugs in the field there has been movement to minimum tillage farming which would require much less labor and enormous fuel and soil savings. I guess this decision would be different for a family organic grower who planned on leaving the land to his heirs or a corporate famer on leased land of large acreage. This device has been lying here fallow for some time.
I resurrected this earlier shot to add to the mass of agricultural shots in the Stream. I restarted with the RAW and used a couple of slices, the second with a stop-and-a-half boost for an Alpha Channel transparency to bring detail up. It's always fun to shoot an abandoned farm but it's a bonus to find some of the old machinery remaining. There are libraries of photos hidden in the details. I will have to take the full frame Nikon back for another trek.
Here we are at the MacIntosh Farm Preservation Center outside of Longmont, Colorado. Boulder County has collected many old agricultural machines on the property that boasts two large barns.
Este año, la Casa del Deporte implementará un total de 19 escuelas gratuitas en Viña del Mar, con once disciplinas entre las que se encuentran como novedades el balonmano y la halterofilia.
Entre las postales que dejaron los X Juegos Suramericanos ODESUR Santiago 2014, además de la histórica cosecha de medallas que completaron un total de 129 preseas para nuestro país, se cuentan recintos repletos de público vitoreando a deportistas como si se tratasen de eliminatorias mundialistas de futbol, evidenciando el gran interés y pasión que sienten los chilenos por deportes muy distintos al balompié.
Consciente de esta atención por variadas disciplinas, es que la Ilustre Municipalidad de Viña del Mar, a través de la Casa del Deporte, hace ya casi una década, ha implementado de forma gratuita en toda la ciudad, un programa compuesto por Escuelas Deportivas, y que este año junto a las ya clásicas Tenis, taekwondo, Karate, Natación, Basquetbol, Hockey Patín, Gimnasia Rítmica, Voleibol y Rugby, trae importantes novedades, como la inclusión de dos nuevas especialidades deportivas.
El programa de Escuelas Deportivas, este 2014, da la bienvenida a su oferta al cada día más popular Balonmano o Handball, y que después de la brillante participación de las selecciones chilenas masculinas y femeninas de la disciplina, premiadas con bronce en ODESUR 2014, y que justamente jugaron en Viña del Mar, es que niños, jóvenes y adultos, pusieron sus ojos sobre esta entretenida rama deportiva.
Junto con el balonmano, la Halterofilia o Levantamiento Olímpico de Pesas, también se suma al programa Escuelas Deportivas, y consiste en el levantamiento de la mayor cantidad de peso posible en una barra en cuyos extremos se fijan varios discos, los cuales determinan el peso final que se levanta, y que reciben el nombre de “haltera”.
Orientadas a niños entre 7 y 14 años, las Escuelas Deportivas 2014, suman un total de diecinueve, y para la inscripción en cualquiera de las once disciplinas de este año, sólo hay que asistir al lugar, el día y la hora fijada para la clase, y llenar una matrícula gratuita con los datos personales del alumno, y la firma de un apoderado mayor de edad autorizando la participación del menor en el taller. Te esperamos!

Crecimiento sostenido de todo el territorio estatal en el Sexenio de los Municipios
El Gobernador del Estado acudió a la rendición de cuentas ante la ciudadanía de los alcaldes de El Llano, Tepezalá, Asientos y San Francisco de los Romo
El Gobernador del Estado, Carlos Lozano de la Torre, luego de asistir, acompañado de su esposa, Blanca Rivera Rio de Lozano, a las ceremonias de rendición de cuentas del Segundo año de administración de los municipios de El Llano, Tepezalá, Asientos y San Francisco de los Romo, aseguró que su gobierno mantendrá el eficaz y estrecho contacto con todos y cada uno de los Presidentes Municipales para asegurar se implemente a cabalidad una política pública de entendimiento y trabajo con los Ayuntamientos para hacer llegar con prontitud los recursos y las obras que demandan los ciudadanos.
“Lo hemos establecido firmemente, y así será durante mi administración: todos los ciudadanos, sin importar que estén en las comunidades más alejadas o en la capital del estado, están llamados a consolidar esta gran colaboración social e institucional, y los Poderes del Estado, los órdenes de gobierno, los sectores productivos, los sindicatos, los obreros, campesinos, y con todos los sectores y fuerzas sociales estamos haciendo un gran esfuerzo para que la seguridad, el empleo, las inversiones y el bienestar estén sean una realidad cotidiana en los once municipios y, por ende, para todos los aguascalentenses”, dijo.
Por separado, los presidentes municipales de El Llano, José Luis Martínez; Tepezalá, Jesús Medina; Asientos, Baudelio Esparza y San Francisco de Los Romo, Francisco Guel Sosa, manifestaron su total reconocimiento a la apertura, apoyo y compromiso que tiene el Gobernador Carlos Lozano de la Torre con los habitantes del interior del estado.

El edil de El Llano mencionó también importantes logros, como la puesta en marcha de la Universidad Tecnológica Internacional, que demandó una inversión de 33 millones de pesos y que ya da cabida a 140 alumnos, además de las obras de remozamiento del Centro histórico, donde se invirtieron 23 millones de pesos y las obras en tramos carreteros, que sumaron casi 102 millones de pesos.
José Luis Martínez Rodríguez recordó también la puesta en marcha de la escuela Nissan Andanac, en la que se invirtieron 8 millones de pesos, así como el próximo arranque de las obras para edificar la Preparatoria de la comunidad El Terremoto.
Posteriormente el gobernador Carlos Lozano de la Torre se trasladó al municipio de Tepezalá, donde su alcalde Jesús Santillán Medina rindió su informe en las instalaciones del auditorio municipal.
Tras destacar el carácter municipalista de la actual administración el edil agradeció el apoyo incondicional del Gobernador Carlos Lozano de la Torre para sanear las maltrechas economías municipales que les fueron heredadas.
Igualmente Jesús Santillán Medina refirió que gracias al trabajo que se ha realizado de la mano con el Gobierno del Estado, en los tepezalenses existe un renovado ánimo de crecimiento y desarrollo, así como la implementación de nuevas estrategias que permitan buscar mejores condiciones de vida.
Igualmente, el alcalde Jesús Medina Santillán reconoció la incansable labor del Gobernador Carlos Lozano de la Torre para resolver las necesidades de empleo de los habitantes de este municipio, al realizar una efectiva promoción para que nuevas empresas se comprometan a resolver las urgentes necesidades de la población del lugar “y hoy como nunca, se ha visto una participación que nos permite ofrecer apoyo a familias de escasos recursos económicos, los materiales que requieren para tener una casa, una escuela y espacios dignos para la población”.
Por su parte Baudelio Esparza Reyes alcalde de Asientos, dijo ser parte de un gobierno equitativo, responsable, con rumbo y certeza, al continuar con la visión del Gobernador del Estado para la construcción de un estado con destino.
Baudelio Esparza informó que su administración ha enfatizado su labor en la generación de obras de beneficio social, priorizando las que tienen que ver con mejor dotación de agua, drenaje, guarniciones, banquetas, malla sombras en escuelas y las instalaciones y actividades deportivas, además de trabajar arduamente en la remodelación del centro histórico.
En este sentido, el alcalde de Asientos destacó la inversión por 18 millones de pesos para el fortalecimiento de la infraestructura turística, así como la inversión por 21 millones de pesos en obras de agua y alcantarillado, y la aplicación de 55 millones de pesos para el programa de Empleo Temporal para atenuar los efectos de la sequía, con los que se generaron 85 mil jornales.
Así mismo, informó que su administración, con el apoyo del Gobierno del Estado, ha generado un sistema de becas que ha beneficiado a 952 estudiantes de primaria, mientras que 10 comunidades se vieron beneficiadas con la pavimentación de calles, al tiempo que la comunidad de Villa Juárez cuenta ya con la rehabilitación de su jardín principal y el templo de Nuestra Señora del Refugio, además de contar ya con un nuevo panteón con 3440 fosas, mientras que la comunidad Pilotos recibió 3 millones de pesos para la renovación de su sistema de distribución de agua potable.
Inmediatamente después, el Gobernador del Estado se trasladó al municipio de San Francisco de los Romo, donde asistió a la rendición de cuentas del Alcalde Francisco Javier Guel Sosa, quien destacó la visión del Gobernador Carlos Lozano de la Torre, quien se ha convertido en la piedra angular de los logros y metas cumplidas de los proyectos de San Francisco de los Romo.
“Ha sido el Gobernador del Estado, Carlos Lozano de la Torre, un eficaz promotor del verdadero municipalismo, y en el caso de San Francisco de los Romo sin duda nos hemos visto beneficiados por esta total disposición del titular del poder ejecutivo del estado, quien en todo momento nos ha tendido la mano para atender con prontitud las demandas y exigencias de los habitantes de este municipio”
El alcalde francoromense hizo un llamado a la unidad en torno al Presidente Enrique Peña Nieto y el Gobernador Carlos Lozano de la Torre, con quienes debe trabajarse de manera coordinada para lograr mejores gobiernos y excelentes resultados para los ciudadanos.
“Los presentes tiempos exigen construir y avanzar, no obstaculizar ni retroceder, exigen acordar y unir. El presidente de la República Enrique Peña Nieto ha dado el ejemplo de que en la construcción de acuerdos, en la suma de esfuerzos y en una política articulada, el único que gana es México. Soy orgullosamente priísta, en los postulados de mi partido concibo la plataforma de buen gobierno, los tomo como la principal directriz de un ejercicio responsable de gobierno”, concluyó el alcalde de este municipio.
Este santuário está
implementado numa vasta
área consagrada ao culto
Mariano e constitui um pólo
de dinamização de
numerosas actividades de
espiritualidade, recolhimento
e apoio social. Na sua
génese, está a resposta das
populações do nordeste
transmontano à mensagem
de Fátima, através de uma
acção liderada por um
sacerdote natural da região: o
P. Manuel Joaquim Ochôa.
Começou a ser edificado em
1961. Para a sua construção
foi necessária a colaboração
de todo o povo de Cerejais,
homens e mulheres; eles com
quatrocentos carros de bois
de pedra e elas com o transporte de toda a água necessária à construção,
muita da qual foi transportada em cântaros, à cabeça.
Além da capela principal, fazem parte do conjunto do santuário:
l O Calvário (fig.1.1) com uma capelinha onde se encontra um conjunto
escultórico, em tamanho natural, que representa o encontro da Mãe
Dolorosa com o seu Divino Filho.
l Uma Via-sacra que percorre o caminho entre a Capela e o Calvário e
cujas cruzes foram esculpidas em granito da aldeia de Romeu.
Dois anos mais tarde, em 28 de Maio de 1967, celebrou-se a “festa dos
Bispos” como ficou conhecida a inauguração dos quinze Mistérios do
Rosário, que estão representados por outras tantas figuras esculpidas que
se distribuem à beira do caminho entre a capela e a Loca do Cabeço. Com
efeito, nas cerimónias desta inauguração, estiveram presentes os bispos
de Bragança-Miranda, Leiria, Lamego e Dili.
Em 1976 foi edificado o primeiro pavilhão da Casa dos Pastorinhos e foi
ampliada a torre sineira.
1977 foi o ano da comemoração do 60º aniversário das aparições em
Fátima e o Santuário dos Cerejais foi o ponto central das comemorações
na diocese de Bragança-Miranda.
seu desejo ao rei que logo pensou juntar o útil ao agradável: fez a vontade
à esposa e aproveitou o pretexto para construir uma fortificação militar nas
proximidades, dado que se tratava de um local estratégico para a
segurança do reino.
A administração da capela e dos seus folgados proventos determinados
por D. Dinis foi entregue aos frades beneditinos do mosteiro do Castro da
Avelãs, que se localiza a cerca de 30 km de distância, próximo a Bragança.
No reinado de D. João III, foi construída a catedral de Miranda, que passou
a ser a sede da diocese para quem passou a administração do santuário.
Durante todos estes anos, as actividades de culto foram promovidas pela
confraria que contava sempre com um mordomo castelhano, o que
confirma a grande influência que o santuário exerce do outro lado da
fronteira. Do lado espanhol o Santuário é designado por “La Ribeiriña”.
Apesar da grande quantidade de romeiros e da celebração anual das
grandes romarias, o templo chegou ao final do século XIX num estado de
apreciável degradação. Providencialmente surgiu um benemérito, próspero
emigrante no Brasil, natural de Castrelos, de seu nome António do Carmo
Pires.
