I've recently seen two instances of this rather simple error in magazines that I highly admire. (Yes, I read a lot about public space, public finance, etc.) Please, do it.
Trabajos de Prevención de Incendios Forestales de ADIF realizados por Regeneracio Forestal S.L. Se trata de trabajos de tratamiento herbicida realizados por personal de REFOR S.L. Bajo la supervisión de los Técnicos y Pilotos de Seguridad de la misma. Todo el personal participante en las tareas de tratamiento herbicida posee la habilitación profesional de técnicos en tratamientos fitosanitarios y forman parte también del equipo un conductor con habilitación de transportes ADR (mercancías peligrosas) un recurso preventivo y un Piloto de Seguridad con habilitación de ADIF todos ellos personal de REFOR S.L. Se utiliza para la aplicación de los herbicidas maquinaria de tratamientos fitosanitarios individual (mochilas) que son de gran efectividad en este tipo de tratamientos, sus ventajas principales es que el tratamiento es dirigido por los operarios a aquellas zonas que es necesario (no es indiscriminado), de tal forma se puede llegar correctamente al 100 % de la superficie de trabajo venciendo la orografía de terreno y reduciendo las derivas de producto que podrían afectar a cultivos próximos, cauces o ecosistemas, el impacto ambiental de los tratamientos utilizando mochilas de aplicación individuales es mínimo. En zonas puntuales donde las circunstancias del terreno y la zona lo permitían se ha utilizado para los tratamientos de herbicida maquinaria especial de tratamientos sobre vehículos.
REFOR S.L. dispone de diverso personal con las habilitaciones OMI (Operario de Maquinaria de Infraestructuras) que les permite la conducción por las vías del ferrocarril tanto como de camiones bimodales, pickups, dumpers, giratorias todo ellos vehículos bimodales con diploris autorizados para circular por las vías.
Trabajos englobados en las tareas de creación de una franja de seguridad a ambos lados de la vía del ferrocarril para que esta ejerza como franja de seguridad contra incendios forestales en las vías de ADIF, estas franjas tienen una doble misión, por una parte evitar que se produzcan incendios en las inmediaciones de la vía tanto por actividades ferroviarias como ajenas a las mismas y por otra parte actúa como cortafuegos evitando que en caso de que este se produzca, se pueda propagar o ayudando a que se extinga al llegar a estas zonas limpias de vegetación. Estos trabajos se realizaron en la línea Alicante – El Regueron (Murcia), Trayecto Ramal Alicante Termino - San Gabriel perteneciente a la Gerencia de Albacete. Puede apreciarse en la fotografía que la vegetación del la línea tras los constantes desbroces y tratamientos herbicidas efectuados por Regeneración Forestal S.L. está controlada habiéndose reducido el riesgo de prevención de incendios forestales en las inmediaciones del ferrocarril a “0”.
My solution to preventing the filament spindle box from jamming all the time. Draw around the top or bottom of the spindle on some cardboard (I used the MakerBot packing) and cut out 2 discs. Next hollow out the middle so that the lazy-susan mechanism can fit inside, it doesn't need to be that accurate. Finally use some double sided tape or glue to attach them to the bottom of the filament spindle box under the spindle. This should allow the filament spindle to turn freely but also add some minor friction to it so that it cannot gain momentum as it unreels. This design also prevents any filament that does happen to get loose from going under the spindle and jamming the mechanism.
The surprise military strike on Pearl Harbor by the Imperial Japanese Navy,designed by admiral Isoroku Yamamamoto, was a culmination of a decade of deteriorating relationships. The pre-emptive measure intended to prevent the U.S. Pacific Fleet from interfering in Japan's grand strategy of conquest in the Western Pacific. Instead, it provoked the previously isolationist United States into full participation in World War II. The base was attacked in two waves by 353 Japanese aircraft, launched from six aircraft carriers. Four U.S. Navy battleships were sunk, and another four were damaged. The Japanese also sank or damaged three cruisers, three destroyers, an anti-aircraft training ship, one minelayer, and 188 U.S. aircraft. In total, 2,402 personnel were killed and 1,282 were wounded. Japanese loses were light with 29 aircraft and five midget submarines lost, and 65 servicemen killed or wounded.
The World War II Valor in the Pacific National Monument, a United States national monument spanning 9 sites in 3 states, honors several aspects of the American engagement in World War II. Six of the sites are located in Hawaii--the USS Arizona Memorial and Visitors Center, the USS Utah Memorial, the USS Oklahoma Memorial, Six Chief Petty Officer Bungalows on Ford Island, and the Mooring Quays F6, F7, and F8, which formed part of Battleship Row. The monument was created on December 5, 2008, through an executive order issued by President George W. Bush under the authority of the Antiquities Act of 1906.

The QFES is the result of 150 years of evolution in Queensland's firefighting services; in fact the QFS was born in 1860 after a fire destroyed a Brisbane cabinet making workshop. The early years were tough for the Brisbane Fire Brigade and it was not until 1889 that the first firemen was employed.
The first legislation for rural fire management was the Act to Prevent the Careless Use of Fire 1865, and for state fire management, the Fire Brigades Act 1876. In 1990, the Queensland Fire Service and the Rural Fires Council were formed replacing the 81 Fire Boards in local government areas and the Rural Fires Board; this was the first step in creating a single fire service for Queensland.
In 1997, it became the Queensland Fire and Rescue Authority and 2001 saw another name change to the Queensland Fire and Rescue Service.
In 2013, QFRS merged with EMQ and the Corporate Services Division of the Department of Community Safety to become the current Queensland Fire and Emergency Services, encompassing Queensland Fire and Rescue Service, parts of the State Emergency Service, Emergency Management and the Rural Fire Service.
The Queensland Fire and Rescue Service professional Firefighters ensure a balance between the reduction of risk and enhancement of community resilience, whilst providing effective response and recovery capabilities in the primary hazard response areas of: fire and explosion; accident; rescue; environmental and imminent or declared disaster.
The Queensland Fire and Emergency Services provides specialist personnel with the skills and ability to provide combat support services for: land, marine, air and urban search and rescue; crime scene and forensic searches; missing person searches; animal disease outbreaks and communications.
Queensland Fire and Rescue Service
The Queensland Fire and Rescue Service is made up of approximately 2200 professional and 2000 Auxiliary (part-time) firefighters that are responsible for responding to almost every emergency. They are highly trained and work in a command structure with high standards to ensure safety. They have a proud history of protecting all Queenslanders and are highly valued by the community. They look after Queensland's Assets and population. To become a professional Firefighter involves a rigorous selection process, after which successful candidates undertake a four-month recruitment course. They then go on to partake in many years of intense study and training in all disciplines of rescue, wildfires, structural fires and major emergencies.
The Rural Fire Service (RFS), made up of approximately 9 000 volunteers (5000 active), approximately 1400 rural fire brigades. They are mainly responsible for responding to bushfires and have some land management capability. The current QFES model means that volunteers will support the Fire & Rescue Service in any emergency as required.
Queensland's professional Firefighters undertake a range of planning and preparation activities throughout the year. They are trained in Structural Firefighting, Wildland (forest and grassland) fires, vertical rescue, swift water rescue, road crash rescue, confined space rescue, trench rescue and urban search and rescue (USAR) and Hazardous material mitigation. Fire hazard (vegetation fires) mitigation and response is the primary role of Fire and Rescue and Rural Fire Service in the outer areas. Rural Fire Brigades, in conjunction with Rural Fire Service permanent staff, Fire & rescue Service, local councils, national parks rangers, and local landholders, undertake a range of planning and preparation activities throughout the year to ensure communities are well prepared for the fire season.
One of these activities is hazard reduction burns. Hazard reduction burns use fire under controlled circumstances to reduce excess vegetation and minimise the potential for bushfires to get out of control.
The Queensland State Emergency Service (SES) is a statewide organisation of volunteers from a variety of backgrounds who respond to emergencies and disasters across the State as needed. They are trained and equipped by local councils and QFES, to help their communities across a range of functions, and their primary purpose is to assist the community. The SES is designed to empower people to help themselves and others in their community in times of emergency and disaster. The basic concept is one of self-help and mutual assistance within each community.
SES members also assist other emergency services with provision of: emergency lighting; emergency welfare services; management of traffic at emergency scenes and emergency communications.

Taking notes.
Greater Manchester Police has launched (24 April 2014) the North West segment of a national campaign to warn young people of the dangers of travelling to Syria.
The event, hosted by Chief Superintendent Rebekah Sutcliffe from GMP and held at the British Muslim Heritage Centre in Whalley Range, was attended by Prevent workers and a spokesperson from the charity Syria Relief. It was aimed at encouraging women to reach out to other women who are concerned about young people who may be planning to travel to Syria. Chief Superintendent Sutcliffe urged community representatives to continue the conversation within their communities so that we can all play a part in protecting young people from these risks.
Similar events were held across the whole of the UK today in an effort to reach out to as many women from the affected communities as possible. To support the campaign, a leaflet has been designed which outlines the risks of travelling to Syria and will be issued at ports across the country.
Whilst some youngsters want to travel to fight in the conflict, many others want to offer aid and support to the Syrian people. One of the key messages that emerged was the importance of letting people who genuinely want to help the Syrian cause know how they can do so safely and legally.
The advice is to donate to registered charities which have experience in providing humanitarian assistance in high risk, insecure and dangerous environments and have on-going relief operations in Syria and/or neighbouring countries, such as the DEC or its member charities.
The number of people travelling to Syria from the UK is judged to be in the low hundreds and information that is available shows that the number of Syria-related arrests has increased substantially in 2014. The figure for the whole of 2013 was approximately 25 yet for the first three months of 2014 alone it is approximately 40.

How to prevent breast cancer?
Breast cancer cannot be completely prevented, but the risk of developing advanced disease can be greatly reduced by early detection. Medical societies recommend monthly breast self-examination for all women over the age of 20, a breast exam by a health care professional every three years for women 20–39 years old, and a yearly mammogram for all women 40 and older. Women at high risk of developing breast cancer may benefit from taking tamoxifen to reduce their risk. Women, who are at extreme risk, as determined by a very strong family history or the presence of mutated BRCA genes, may opt for preventive mastectomy.
Prevented stalling by dramatically decreasing retraction speed. It is not a perfect print, but it is much better than my previous attempts with retraction. Now I just need to optimise the Retraction Length setting. Unfortunately, my retraction speed in now 3 mm/s...it actually slows down my print by quite a bit. I am going to see if I can increase the speed a little more while still avoiding stalling.

Mistress Lady Penelope's 24/7 live-in maid sissy barbie wearing a gold satin uniform with matching cap, shoes and gloves trimmed in black lace and satin. The uniform is locked at the neck to prevent escape and donning male clothes, barbie must serve Mistress Lady Penelope. She is Mistress' property and if she dares to disobey in the slightest way she will be punished in a way of Mistress' choosing, Sometimes locked in bondage to make her tasks more difficult. It is never long before she complies with Mistress Lady Penelope's original instruction.
Close up of the gold padlock through the zip's pull tab and through the two metal rings of the collar. This prevents sissy barbie removing her uniform without permission of Mistress Lady Penelope. Mistress has found this form of discipline highly effective. Only when a long hard day's work has been completed to Mistress' satisfaction might the padlock key and the key to the servant's quarters be given to the maid. Naturally the key to the maid's chastity device is retained by her Mistress. Once sissy barbie has returned to the servant's quarters she can take off her black satin and lace apron and matching gold maid's cap trimmed with black lace, unlock the padlock and remove her uniform. As her petticoat has an attached bodice and shoulder straps, she cannot remove that until the uniform has been removed. After that she removes her shoes, stockings, and underwear. Then she can don her nightie and begin her night's sleep, though being a 24/7 live in maid, she is always on call and she may well have to serve her Mistress wearing her nightie.
Sometimes when it is likely she will be called, she is not given the key to the padlock and has to sleep in uniform ready to 'scramble' within seconds of being called to serve. This does tend to flatten her petticoat unfortunately and that has to rectified the following day.
If the maid has been negligent in her duties in any way or does not pass Mistress Lady Penelope's inspection of her work and attire, she will not be given any keys but instead be locked in the sturdy steel cage in Mistress' dungeon as punishment. The cage has a hard floor and is too small for any more than a cat nap. All night the errant maid will be shifting from one uncomfortable position to another in the cold dark dungeon, not knowing the time. She will remain silent to avoid further punishment for waking her Mistress in her nice soft warm bed.
The maid will worry all night that she has angered her Mistress so much that Mistress Lady Penelope might decide to leave her locked up for two nights and the intervening day too. Sissy barbie knows that would be very severe punishment and will do everything humanly possible during her working day to avoid making her Mistress decide to do that. She also worries that perhaps Mistress Lady Penelope might be so busy that Mistress simply forgets to release her. The maid knows she is an insignificant convenience in Mistress Lady Penelope's life, Mistress might very well notice when she does not get her breakfast in bed but then forget that her maid is not cleaning the house, doing the laundry and all the other things she does unseen, Mistress Lady Penelope might get so excited by her social life that she forgets that her maid is locked in a little cage in the dungeon, dutifully remaining silent, not knowing whether it is day or night but acutely feeling the passage of every minute and regretting what she did to be receiving such severe punishment.
Sissy barbie will be waiting to hear her Mistress' footsteps and when she hears them, praying Mistress will come towards the dungeon door, unlock it and turn on the light. The maid will probably cower and quiver in case she is to be punished further, all the time hoping she is to be released, though she knows when that happens she will be required to begin a new days work, after a visit to the bathroom, fluffing out her petticoat and correcting whatever she did wrong the day before. The loss of one night's sleep is bad, but two nights in a row is torture, so the errant maid will be very careful not to risk another and will perform her duties to the letter despite being very weary. She will be extremely grateful to her Mistress for her release. The maid will have lost all track of time and if Mistress Lady Penelope is feeling magnanimous, might tell her maid how long she has been caged.

CHECK jars, lids and bands for proper functioning. Jars with nicks, cracks, uneven rims or sharp edges may prevent sealing or cause jar breakage. The underside of lids should not have scratches or uneven or incomplete sealing compound as this may prevent sealing. Bands should fit on jars. Wash jars, lids and bands in hot, soapy water. Rinse well. Dry bands.
HEAT home canning jars in hot water, not boiling, until ready for use. Fill a large saucepan or stockpot half-way with water. Place jars in water (filling jars with water from the saucepan will prevent flotation). Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Keep jars hot until ready for use. You may also use a dishwasher to wash and heat jars. Keeping jars hot prevents them from breaking when hot food is added. Leave lids and bands at room temperature for easy handling.
STERILIZATION: You must sterilize your jars and lids by boiling them (though some recipes also suggest sterilizing them in a dishwasher) for 15 minutes before filling them. As long as the glass jars are not cracked, scratched, or compromised in any way, it’s fine to re-use them, however, the tops and lids cannot be used more than once – you must use new ones each time you can. - See more at: civileats.com/2009/07/27/the-art-of-canning-a-how-to/#sth...
PREPARE boiling water bath canner by filling half-full with water and keep water at a simmer while covered with lid until jars are filled and placed in canner. Be sure your rack in resting on the rim of the canner or on the bottom, depending on the type of rack you are using. You don’t necessarily need to purchase a boiling water bath canner if you don’t already have one at home. Most kitchens have pots that can double as boiling water bath canners. A boiling water bath canner is simply a large, deep saucepot equipped with a lid and a rack. The pot must be large enough to fully surround and immerse the jars in water by 1 to 2 inches and allow for the water to boil rapidly with the lid on. If you don’t have a rack designed for home preserving, use a cake cooling rack or extra bands tied together to cover the bottom of the pot.
Why didn't my jars seal? This happens for a few different reasons.
The sealing compound on the lid wasn't fully softened before you applied it.
Was your product piping hot when it went into the jars? If not, there may not have been enough heat in the jar to create the necessary vacuum effect.
The University of Georgia's National Center for Home Food Preservation has tons of great info:
nchfp.uga.edu/publications/publications_uga.html
TOOLS:
Boiling Water Canner or a big stock pot with a lid: ideally 3" deeper than the height of the jars to be covered at least 1" of water while leaving 1-2" for the water to boil.
Canning jars, or mason jars. They must be authentic canning jars that comply with well-established heat processing methods and times.
Jar lids and Screw bands: the flat metal lid has a channel filled with sealing compound. Flat lids are constructed of tin-plated steel that has been protected with food-safe coatings. The underside of the lid has a channel coated with a unique food-safe sealing compound specifically formulated for preserving food at home.
Canning rack (a rack that holds the jars in the canner) or, fasten rings together to form a raised base.
Funnel (for pouring hot liquids into the jars)
Jar lifter (tool you use to grab the hot jars and lift them out of and into the boiling water in the canner) Jar wrench (tool you use to tighten the lids)
Jars, tops, and lids (size will depend on what you’re canning and how you want to preserve it)

Today, the Human Rights Council passed the first resolution on human rights and preventing and countering violent extremism. The international community highlighted the importance of promoting human rights in efforts to prevent and counter violent extremism. The resolution emphasised that violent extremism cannot be associated with any religion, ethnicity, or nationality and that acts of violent extremism are never justified. It calls for a whole of society approach including through empowering youth, women, local leaders, and civil society and by focusing on human rights education and training. The United States worked with a broad cross-regional group to bring the resolution before the council: Albania, Bangladesh, Cameroon, Colombia, France, Iraq, Mali, Morocco, Peru, Tunisia and Turkey.
Following adoption of the resolution, Ambassador Mehmet Ferden Caricki (Turkey), Ambassador Filloreta Korda (Albania) and Ambassador Mohamed Aoujar (Morocco) spoke with the media. Standing with them were the U.S. Ambassador to the Human Rights Council, Keith Harper and diplomats from other sponsoring countries.

Every day, Brett and Kristie Cavaliero spend time in their backyard garden. It was made in memory of their daughter Sophia.
"We hope she sees this, we hope that she understands that this is our little place that we can connect a little bit closer to her," Brett said.
The toy ducks Sophia played with still float in the pond.
Last summer, a tragic accident ended Sophia's life.
"My mind, focused on going to work, and my daughter was sleeping quiet. I couldn't tell you if I was listening to music. I couldn't tell you what I was thinking about," Brett said.
On autopilot, he drove to work, forgetting to stop at Sophia's daycare. Hours later when they returned to his car, it was too late.
"I reach out to as many people as I can reach out to so that they never have to experience that horrible pain I have to live with each and every day, and I will take with me to my grave," Sophia's father said.
It's a feeling far too many parents have felt after similar tragic stories. Randy Chhabra,
Captain with Austin Travis County EMS said it sometimes happens to parents who are on their way to work, while their child is quiet or asleep in the back.
"They're forgetting their child is back there, and part of it is due to the hustle and bustle of today's society," Chhabra said.
Ray Ray's pledge, named after Sophia's nickname, is a mission to have parents and childcare centers collaborate around drop off time.
A simple phone call, when a child is late could save a life. It may have saved Sophia.
"I would hope that it wouldn't happen to you," Kristie Cavaliero said. "That you're one of the lucky ones, and not one of the ones that have to learn the hard way. We never would have imagined this either but the reality is it did happen, and it does happen."
May 25th will be the first National heat awareness day - exactly one year after Sophia's death.
Something as simple as putting a purse or briefcase in the backseat of your car, next to your child is an easy safeguard. When you go to grab your bag, you'd notice your sleeping child beside it.

Tendinitis prevented 1982 winner Bernard Hinault from starting the 1983 Tour. Peugeot rider Pascal Simon became the Yellow Jersey after stage 10, the only Pyrenean stage. The next day Simon crashed and broke his shoulder blade. Simon continued riding, keeping the lead while suffering terrible pain. 23-year-old Laurent Fignon stalked him, but didn't attack, waiting for the inevitable collapse. The collapse came in stage 17 with its 6 Alpine ascents where Simon abandoned. Fignon became the leader, holding the Yellow Jersey until the end. Fignon's only stage victory was the final time trial.
Laurent Patrick Fignon (1960 –2010) was a French professional road bicycle racer who won the Tour de France in 1983 and 1984 and the Giro d'Italia in 1989. He nearly captured the Tour de France for a third time in 1989 before being edged by Greg LeMond by 8 seconds, the closest margin ever to decide the Tour.
Fignon won many classic races, including taking Milan–San Remo back-to-back in 1988 and 1989. He died from cancer in 2010.

A lot of us want to have healthy teeth and gums but only very few are actually doing what it takes to achieve it. Healthy teeth can’t be achieved overnight. Just because you brushed and flossed today doesn’t mean you won’t get gingivitis. It has to be a part of your everyday routine, a part of your lifestyle. In order to maintain your oral health, you have to have dedication. Aside from practicing proper dental hygiene, you must also regularly see your Family Dentist Loveland. Seeing your dentist regularly will help detect gingivitis before it worsens.
Brush Your Teeth
There are three easy yet highly effective ways to prevent the occurrence of gingivitis. First of all, you need to know how to brush your teeth. Brushing is a given but if it’s done wrong, you won’t be able to completely remove food particles in your teeth. Ideally, it is recommended that you brush your teeth twice a day using a soft-bristled brush. When you brush, include your gums, and focus on the gum line to get rid of plaque.
Floss In Between Teeth
Brushing and flossing always go hand in hand. It doesn’t matter if you floss before you brush or after, the important thing is that you floss your teeth. There are food particles that may get stuck between your teeth and often times your toothbrush won’t be able to loosen them. Make sure that you floss the right way to protect your gums.
See Your Family Dentist Loveland
It is very important that you don’t skip this part. You have to make time to see your dentist for a regular checkup and a professional clean. They have the tools and instruments to thoroughly clean your teeth that mere brushing can’t do.
Looking for a Family Dentist Loveland?
Your Family Dentist Loveland does not just treat gingivitis; they also offer other services to maintain your oral health. At Fox Creek Family Dental, we provide a wide range of dental services. Call us today for an appointment.

NYC Residents Band Together to Prevent Eviction of Elderly Bed-Stuy Homeowner.
UPDATE: The Eviction Defense prevented Ms. Ward's scheduled eviction. She and her team have bought a few days to negotiate. Her future is still uncertain.
NEW YORK, NY – Ms. Mary Lee Ward, an 82 year-old African American grandmother who resides at
320 Tompkins Avenue, Bedford-Stuyvesant Brooklyn, is facing a foreclosure related eviction from her
home of 44 years.
The current owner, “768 Dean Inc,” holder of scores of other properties in the neighborhood, has hired
a marshal to remove her from the premises. A NYC based organization plans on being there
too.
The group, calling itself Organizing for Occupation or O4O, vowed to defend Ms. Ward and block
the eviction, even if it means engaging in non-violent civil disobedience in order to force the NYC
marshal to back down.
O4O is calling for folks to gather at 320 Tompkins Ave this Friday morning.
Ms. Ward—like so many in Bed-Stuy— is a victim of deceptive and predatory lending practices
perpetrated by banks and speculators. Her lender, Delta Funding, was shut down by the government
for preying upon elderly people of color in Queens and Brooklyn. The broker at Tarheel Funding lost
his license and was prosecuted for fraud.
But her loan lived on, bought and sold by different financial institutions over the course of ten years.
When the house was sold at auction in 2008, estate speculator “768 Dean Inc” picked it up as lucrative
asset in a changing neighborhood.
The Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict (SRSG CAAC), Ms. Virginia Gamba, witnessed the signature by the Government of South Sudan of an Action Plan to end and prevent all grave violations against children, the most comprehensive Action Plan signed to date by parties listed in the annexes of the Secretary-General Annual Report on CAAC. The Action Plan covering all grave violations is the first of its kind since the creation of the Children and Armed Conflict mandate.
“This long-awaited commitment to South Sudanese boys and girls by the authorities is the culmination of months of engagement with the principal parties to conflict and comes with a significant decrease in grave violations against children and steady child releases over the past year,” said the Special Representative during a four-day visit to South Sudan, her second to the country since she took office. “The Action Plan comes at a crucial moment for South Sudan, as it has the potential to build confidence between the parties in the context of the peace process and because it carries a strong message of prevention. Ultimately, peace remains the best protection possible from hostilities for boys and girls and the only road to sustainable development.”

Mexico City, 24 November 2015 (PAHO)- The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) and Mexican singer Lila Downs have launched the #ZeroMaternalDeaths campaign in order to mobilize the region of the Americas to reduce maternal deaths caused by postpartum hemorrhage, a leading cause of maternal mortality worldwide.
Countries in the region have significantly reduced maternal deaths since 1990, but more than 5,500 women die each year from complications related to pregnancy and childbirth, most of which are preventable. One in five of these deaths is due to postpartum hemorrhage.
The name of the initiative refers to the ambitious goal of reducing preventable maternal deaths to zero, which could be achieved with timely, respectful, and high-quality pregnancy and delivery care, as well as access to emergency obstetric care.
To address this problem, PAHO launched the Zero Maternal Deaths from Hemorrhage initiative in countries such as Bolivia, the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Haiti, and Peru, where there tend to be more deaths from hemorrhage.
Lila Downs has joined the project and will now be its official spokesperson. "I am partnering with PAHO on the Zero Maternal Deaths by Hemorrhage Project to do my part in reaching out to women and their communities so that these women have healthy deliveries, and more children will grow up in the presence and love of their mothers," she said, adding: "Awareness and education can save the lives of thousands of mothers each year from needless deaths due to complications during pregnancy or childbirth."
During the presentation of the campaign, which was held at the United Nations in Mexico, Downs and Ruiz spoke of the importance of mobilizing governments, health care providers, civil society, families and communities. "We all must do more to bring health care to women and address determinants that are outside the health system, including conditions at home or in the community, culture, education or transport. We all have a role to play in saving lives," Ruiz said.
The initiative aims to promote prenatal healthcare and humanized childbirth, improve quality of care through training on the management of obstetric emergencies, provide means for the transfer of patients with complications, and ensure the availability of safe blood.

Beti Utsav is a community celebration which takes place every three months in several areas in New Delhi. It is a festive gathering of community members who come together to celebrate the birth of girls in their neighbourhood.
In India boys are valued far higher than girls, so much so that many women face pressure to have an illegal sex determination test, and if they are having a girl, also face pressure to abort the foetus. The latest census showed that there were only 914 girls to every 1,000 boys across India.
On a Beti Utsav celebration, ActionAid’s partner Action India, goes into the community to sing songs, give out sweets and visit the homes of families of girls who are less than three months old. Ladoos (an Indian sweet) are usually distributed when a boy is born in the family, so these are given out on Beti Utsav celebrations too, and tin plates (thali) are drummed to make noise.
Find out more about Beti Utsav events and ActionAid’s work with women and girls.
