Meeting: A Promise Renewed â Americas | Reducing inequities for maternal and child health / SEP.10.2013 / INTERNATIONAL / Overall, the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean have made great strides in recent decades in reducing deaths of mothers, newborns, infants and children and improving access to reproductive health services. But too many womenâs and childrenâs lives are still cut short â and many others live with permanent ill health â due to preventable causes. These tragedies are concentrated in disadvantaged and marginalized populations. Conquering the persisting inequities in reproductive, maternal, neonatal, child and adolescent health in the region requires a renewed commitment and new approaches. Scale-up of evidence-based interventions and robust partnerships among public and private sector actors are among the regionâs critical needs at this time and will be the focus of the conference.

In an ongoing effort to reduce SGBV (Sexual and Gender-Based Violence) incidents within the PoC site, the UNMISS Police in coordination with Nonviolent Peace Force, an I’NGO, launched a self-assertiveness and self-defense training programme for female representatives of the Juba PoC. During the first session, the course participants were equipped with basic knowledge of how to demonstrate self-confidence and stop aggressive behavior. The training, which is conducted by a certified karate instructor, and a member of the UNPOL MHQ GCVPP (Gender, Child and Vulnerable Persons Protection) team, will continue in the weeks ahead.
Kind of ambigous way to promote the winter sale.
Did they reduce the price or do they reduce the women?

BIG 5 Lion/Leão. Pilanesberg Game Reserve. South Africa. Aug/2019
The lion (Panthera leo) is a species in the family Felidae; it is a muscular, deep-chested cat with a short, rounded head, a reduced neck and round ears, and a hairy tuft at the end of its tail. The lion is sexually dimorphic; males are larger than females with a typical weight range of 150 to 250 kg (330 to 550 lb) for the former and 120 to 182 kg (265 to 400 lb) for the latter. Male lions have a prominent mane, which is the most recognisable feature of the species. A lion pride consists of a few adult males, related females and cubs. Groups of female lions typically hunt together, preying mostly on large ungulates. The species is an apex and keystone predator, although they scavenge when opportunities occur. Some lions have been known to hunt humans, although the species typically does not.
Typically, the lion inhabits grasslands and savannas but is absent in dense forests. It is usually more diurnal than other big cats, but when persecuted it adapts to being active at night and at twilight. In the Pleistocene, the lion ranged throughout Eurasia, Africa and the Americas from the Yukon to Peru but today it has been reduced to fragmented populations in Sub-Saharan Africa and one critically endangered population in western India

O leão [feminino: leoa] (nome científico: Panthera leo) é uma espécie de mamífero carnívoro do gênero Panthera e da família Felidae. A espécie é atualmente encontrada na África subsaariana e na Ásia, com uma única população remanescente em perigo, no Parque Nacional da Floresta de Gir, Gujarat, Índia. Foi extinto na África do Norte e no Sudoeste Asiático em tempos históricos, e até o Pleistoceno Superior, há cerca de 10 000 anos, era o mais difundido grande mamífero terrestre depois dos humanos, sendo encontrado na maior parte da África, em muito da Eurásia, da Europa Ocidental à Índia, e na América, do Yukon ao México. É uma dos quatro grandes felinos, com alguns machos excedendo 250 quilogramas em peso, sendo o segundo maior felino recente depois do tigre.
A pelagem é unicolor de coloração castanha, e os machos apresentam uma juba característica. Uma das características mais marcantes da espécie é a presença de um tufo de pelos pretos na cauda, que também possui uma espora. Habita preferencialmente as savanas e pastagens abertas, mas pode ser encontrado em regiões mais arbustivas. É um animal sociável que vive em grupos que consiste das leoas e suas crias, o macho dominante e alguns machos jovens que ainda não alcançaram a maturidade sexual. A dieta consiste principalmente de grandes ungulados e possuem hábitos noturnos e crepusculares, descansando e dormindo na maior parte do dia. Leões vivem por volta de 10-14 anos na natureza, enquanto em cativeiro eles podem viver por até 30 anos.

SHOCK-REDUCING non-slip DRESSAGE Saddle Pad with pockets for cushioning or saddle fitting shims.
- High Resiliency open-cell foam shims (included in the package) allow for the overall weight to be redistributed over a larger area, thus minimizing pressure points.
- Breathable 3-Dimensional Spacer fabric reduces heat build-up and provides excellent moisture vapor transfer.
- 100% cotton lining is quilted with lightweight synthetic fiber to wick away sweat quickly and efficiently, thus keeping the horse more comfortable while you ride. Moreover, when wet, cotton fabric tends to naturally stick to the horses' skin, which makes the SHOCK-REDUCING saddle pad non-slip without actually hurting the horse.
- The Non-Slip mesh upper prevents the saddle from sliding and shifting, and steadily secures the SHOCK-REDUCING Saddle Pad under the saddle.
- Two large pockets are designed specifically to ensure proper fit of the saddle and comfort for the horse by accommodating both specialized and custom-made shims.
- Genuine leather patches prevent wearing and tearing of the saddle pad in the girth area.
- SHOCK-REDUCING Saddle Pad can be used both with and without shims.

Piccadilly - Safe4Summer.
The initiative is part of the Government’s mission to restore and strengthen local policing in communities and reduce or prevent anti-social behaviour (ASB). As part of this, there will be a greater visibility of Greater Manchester Police (GMP) officers and partners as we work together across crime hot spot areas.
Kate Green, Deputy Mayor for Safer and Stronger Communities, said: "We’re determined to ensure Greater Manchester is a safer place for everyone. The Safer Streets Summer Initiative is a testament to our dedication to reducing crime and enhancing the quality of life for our residents.
“By continuing to work closely with our communities and partners, we aim to create an environment where everyone feels safe and can enjoy not only the summer but all year round and every year. We’ll be working hard to ensure our town centres are safe and welcoming for all.”
Assistant Chief Constable Matt Boyle, GMP’s lead for Local Policing, said: “Our neighbourhoods are negatively impacted by various crimes such as the illegal use of e-bikes, drug dealing and other ASB.
“As a force, it’s our mission to listen to our community’s concerns and take action where crime is committed. Our proactive approach to tackling neighbourhood crime has meant that since 2021, we’ve reduced burglary by a third and vehicle crime by a quarter, thanks to the dedication of our local neighbourhood teams, working closely with partners across the region.
“Over the summer months, they will be focusing on increasing engagement with our communities to listen and respond to their concerns. Residents and business owners will also see an increase in the visibility of officers and partners, as we work together to ensure a safe summer for all. This isn’t about trying to spoil people’s fun over the summer months, it is making sure everyone can enjoy themselves without feeling unsafe or being hurt.
“We welcome the Home Office initiative, which perfectly aligns to the neighbourhood policing model our force implemented locally two years ago. Safe4Summer is the perfect opportunity to highlight the strength of our partnerships in Greater Manchester, and our determination to minimise crime and disorder and to ensure Greater Manchester is a safer and more desirable place for all.”
TravelSafe Partnership Manager at Transport for Greater Manchester, Kate Green, said: “While the vast majority of people using the Bee Network do so safely and responsibly, we know that crime and anti-social behaviour increases over school holidays, and that is not something we will tolerate.
“We work hard every day to keep people safe, whether that’s through our engagement programme or the many proactive operations that take place. We will have an increased presence across the Bee Network to prevent and deter incidents, helping people to travel and enjoy their summer safely and with confidence.”
In 2023, Greater Manchester Police made a commitment that every district ward has a named local police officer, and we would keep communities informed through our use of the community messaging service, Bee in the Loop, which provides the latest news on events and incidents straight to your email inbox.
In April 2025, we welcomed the opportunity to further strengthen our neighbourhood offer, with an increase in numbers of neighbourhood officers by 176, to help GMP to continue to deliver in tackling crime and working with partners and communities to keep our streets safe.

Maintains a constant downstream pressure regardless of upstream pressure or flow rate fluctuations. The set point of reduced pressure is adjustable by a 3-way pilot valve. A spring-loaded diaphragm inside the pilot moves according to the downstream pressure changes. The pressure fluctuations are compensated by gradual opening and closing of the valve.

Innovation ranks high on the political agenda. What should be done to reduce the big gaps in performance between EU countries and the regional disparities within EU countries? What kind of inventions do we need in Europe? How will the new EU-wide patent regime work and how will it improve on the current one? Which will be the role of "Horizon 2020"?
These and many more important questions about innovation in Europe were answered during this edition of the Citizens' Corner debate series, which took place on March 18, 2014, with a live stream from the European Parliament in Brussels. It was produced by Euranet Plus and Radio 24, Italy, a member of the Euranet Plus network.
This part of the debate was moderated by the Radio 24’s journalist Anna Migliorati and the following guests attended:
- MEP Patrizia Toia, Italy, Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament, Vice-Chair of the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy
- MEP Sergio Gaetano Cofferati, Italy, Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament
- MEP Fabrizio Bertot, Italy, Group of the European People's Party (Christian Democrats)
- Ezio Andreta, President of APRE – Agenzia per la Promozione della Ricerca Europea (Agency for the Promotion of the European Research)
- Massimo Gaudina, Head of Unit Press and Communication, European Research Council Executive Agency

The United States is proud to have joined the Marrakesh Treaty, a landmark agreement that will help reduce the global shortage of print materials in accessible formats such as Braille for blind, visually impaired, and print disabled persons.
International diplomats, members of civil society, and leading advocates for the blind and visually impaired came together for a celebration of U.S. ratification last night at the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) on the eve of the opening of the 38th Session of the WIPO Standing Committee on Copyright and Related Rights. WIPO Director General Francis Gurry welcomed guests and noted the significance of the U.S. ratification. The United States already houses the world’s largest repository of accessible English-language material. U.S. Chargé d’affaires Mark Cassayre highlighted that U.S. ratification underscores the importance the United States attaches to this Treaty, and the importance the United States places on accessibility and inclusion.
Shira Perlmutter, Chief Policy Officer and Director of International Affairs for the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, and one of the key negotiators of the Treaty, concluded, “The magic of the Marrakesh Treaty is to expand access to the genius of humankind for the blind and print-disabled around the world. It is an accomplishment that we are all proud to celebrate tonight.”
U.S. President Donald J. Trump signed the Marrakesh Treaty ratification document in late January, and the Treaty is set to enter force in the United States in early May. When the Treaty takes effect in the United States, some 550,000 accessible texts will become immediately available to visually impaired persons living in Marrakesh Treaty-adherent countries, according to figures from the U.S.-based National Federation for the Blind. To date, 54 countries have joined the Treaty.

Canon TLb with FD 1.8/50 (chrome nose)
Another chunk from the early seventies (1972), some years before plastification, electronification and miniaturisation got in, and it has a combat weight of more than 1 kg. The TLb is the little sister of the FTb (1971), and it was reduced by the hot shoe, the top shutter speed (1/500 s instead of 1/1000 s), the mirror lock-up, the shutter button lock, the QL quick-load system, the battery check, the exposure meter on/off-switch and the self-timer. What looks like a self-timer lever is just for depth-of-field preview.
The letter "b" indicates, that TLb and FTb were updates of the TL and FT, it marks also the transition from the Canon FL lens mount to the FD lens mount. The older FL mount has an automatic aperture, but was only capable of stop-down metering. The FD mount is capable of open-aperture metering and it is also prepared for shutter priority automatic exposure, visible by an "o" (later "A") on the f-stop ring. The FD mount is highly sophisticated, e.g. you can't set "o" on the f-stop ring, if the camera doesn't have an automatic exposure mode, the setting is required for. FL and FD lenses and cameras were compatible, but of course FL lenses on FD cameras and FD lenses on FL cameras give always stop-down metering.
The first generation of FD cameras was a circle around the F-1, Canon's attempt to enter the market for professional photographers. It offers interchangeable viewfinders and the option for a motor drive. The EF is its little sister, with fixed prism finder and without connection for a motor drive, but with shutter priority AE. Beside the already mentioned FTb and TLb there is the FTbN (with shutter speeds indicated in the viewer) and the TX (a TLb with hot shoe).
But back to the TLb. For metering you have to align two needles in the viewfinder, the "aperture needle" (with an eye; "lollipop"-look) and the "meter needle". The aperture needle is directly coupled with the f-stop ring, the meter needle is coupled with the shutter speed dial (and therefor also with the film speed) and its position is also affected by the amount of light of course. If you are leaving the metering range, because it is to dark, a red flag will appear in the viewer. For stop-down metering, which is required when you are using FL lenses, you have to press the stop-down lever, then the aperture needle will decline completely. Then you must align the meter needle to the "meter index", a small tab in the display. In my opinion the exposure meter can't be switched off, so for saving battery power you'll have to cover the lens with the lens cap.
Some specs:
* shutter speeds from 1 s to 1/500 s and B
* ASA range from 25 to 2000
* X-sync is 1/60 s. I don't know how, but the TLb is prepared for using FP-bulbs.
* TTL metering with one CdS-cell, center-weighted
* one mercury cell 1.35 V type 625 is required (for metering only)
Some notes about the 1.8/50 lens above: it is a very early type of an FD lens, with chrome filter thread ("chrome nose") and without S.C. ("spectra coating") specification, and it differs a bit from later lenses.
* if the lens is unmounted, you can turn the breech lock ring into the "closed"-position without any tricks.
* there is no locking button for the automatic position on the f-stop ring (EE lock pin).
* if you want to use an FD lens with accessory which doesn't provide automatic aperture (e.g. bellows) you'll have to lock the aperture lever on the lens in "diaphragm-closed"-position (the same effect like the A/M-switch on M42-lenses). On later FD lenses that lever just clicks into position, the lens here has an extra locking lever.
* The built quality is outstanding. Certainly the most advanced lens mount for 35 mm SLRs of its time.
