Women in Contemporary Mexican Politics
Since the mid-1980s, a dramatic opening in Mexico's political and electoral processes, combined with the growth of a new civic culture, has created unprecedented opportunities for women and other previously repressed or ignored groups to participate in the political life of the nation. In this book, Victoria Rodríguez offers the first comprehensive analysis of how Mexican women have taken advantage of new opportunities to participate in the political process through elected and appointed office, nongovernmental organizations, and grassroots activism. Drawing on scores of interviews with politically active women conducted since 1994, Rodríguez looks at Mexican women's political participatio...
Performance Indicators for Water Supply Services
The IWA Performance Indicator System for water services is now recognized as a worldwide reference. Since it first appearance in 2000, the system has been widely quoted, adapted and used in a large number of projects both for internal performance assessment and metric benchmarking. Water professionals have benefited from a coherent and flexible system, with precise and detailed definitions that in many cases have become a standard. The system has proven to be adaptable and it has been used in very different contexts for diverse purposes. The Performance Indicators System can be used in any organization regardless of its size, nature (public, private, etc.) or degree of complexity and develop...
Decline
Conceived in violence and strife, the greatest nation to ever develop in human history was born July 4, 1776. The United States of America was a bastion of individual freedom, enclosed in the framework of a constitutional republic. It endured for more than a century through trials and errors, but then the enemies of liberty began to chip away at the grand edifice of the republic. Progressive, left-leaning liberalism started to rear its ugly head and make demands. Many of these were held in check, but some slipped through to plant the seeds of dissent in the fabric of the nation. Those seeds took root in the 1960s and have borne rotten fruit ever since. This is a guide for the modern constitutional conservative with common sense. It explains what has gone wrong in the republic and why. It also offers encouragement to those who would take back the mantle of 1776 and reshape the political landscape. The Declaration of Independence tells us that whenever any government becomes destructive that it is the right of the people to abolish it and start anew.
Performance Indicators for Wastewater Services
The Manual of Best Practice Performance Indicators for Wastewater Services provides guidelines for the establishment of a management tool for wastewater utilities based on the use of performance indicators. The publication comprises the text and a CD-ROM with the SIGMA Lite WW software, developed by Instituto Tecnologico del Agua (ITA), Valencia Polytechnic University, Spain. The focus is on those performance indicators considered to be the most relevant for the majority of wastewater utilities, to be used routinely at management level and potentially for metric benchmarking practices. A set of three comprehensive appendices includes a glossary of technical terms, specifications of each para...
