SANTIAGO， July 13 (Xinhua) -- Women face several levels of inequality in the agricultural sector of Latin America and the Caribbean， says a report by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
The report tracked farmers growing cassava， quinoa， maize and cotton in Belize， Bolivia and Guatemala to understand how women get involved in the production， processing and commercialization of agricultural products.
Speaking at the launch of the report on Wednesday， FAO gender officer Caludia Brito said that "in rural areas， the contribution of women is mostly invisible although they perform a large part of the activities at farm level as well as domestic work and unpaid home care."
The report found that women participate particularly in activities that require a lot of time and physical effort， such as planting， weeding and harvesting.
The report also states that women work excessively， from 12 to 16 hours a day on average and have little access to finance， adapted technologies and tools， high level training and decision-making power.
The FAO recommends that properly handling gender issues related to agriculture can lead to greater market competitiveness， especially when women can sell their products directly to customers.
"Changing this situation would not only improve the living conditions of women but also lead to greater productivity and sustainability in agricultural systems and associated value chains，" explained Brito.
According to the report， less than 40 percent of homes with women as the head of the family have their own land. Yet closing such gaps is not easy because it requires policies to help increase access to resources and services， the participation of women in agriculture and quality control.
It's been a long time coming but it appears that Scottish soccer might finally be returning to its heyday.
In the Scottish Premiership Uomo Nike Roshe One Con Fiori Rosse Scontate , Celtic's current dominance, in the absence of their historic crosstown rivals, is being challenged by Aberdeen. This is a throwback to the turn of the 1980s when a certain Sir Alex Ferguson turned the unfashionable oilmen into the Dandy Dons and broke the Glasgow hegemony for the first time since the Swinging Sixties. While the Man from Govan was setting to the first of his three titles North of the Border Uomo Donne Nike Roshe One Con Fiori Nere Scontate , the best players in the best team in Europe were from Scotland. Graeme Souness and Kenny Dalglish were the pride of the Liverpool team that laid waste to the continent.
Fast forward to today and a division down in the Championship. Hearts, Rangers and Hibernian are vying for promotion with the Jambos clear in front and the Gers and Hibees looking for the chance to playoff for their Premiership return.
This should be cause enough for excitement in a soccer climate that has been as desolate as a Hebridean December but there are also bright spots from overseas. Ironically, it's coming from the very countries that many Scots Uomo Nike Roshe One Flyknit Grigie Marina Scontate , Sean Connery included, escape to for their winter sun: the Iberian Peninsula.
Jack Harper, the third footballer son of a Scots family who relocated to Fuengirola on Spain's southern Costa del Sol is the brightest hope of all. The teenager was born in Spain but represents Scotland as well as Real Madrid. He currently plays as a forward for the Castilla side coached by Zinedine Zidane and hopes are as high in Madrid as his historic homeland.
Meanwhile in Portugal Uomo Nike Roshe One Mesh Grigie Nere Scontate , Ryan Gauld has begun to make waves at Sporting Lisbon. Signed from Dundee United, the 19-year-old has made his way into the first team at Cristiano Ronaldo's former club and apparently rejected Manchester United to move to the Portugese capital. Rumor has it the Old Trafford side are sniffing around again.
Off the pitch and back in Spain is another cause for Scottish hope. A recent meeting between Valencia and Real Sociedad saw a meeting between three Scots in the opposing dugouts. While David Moyes was quietly rebuilding his career with Billy McKinlay beside him on the bench, Valencia assistant manager Ian Cathro was credited with masterminding his side's win - and most vocally by his own boss.
It might not yet be time for another World Cup single but it's certainly cause for stretching the auld vocal chords.
WELLINGTON Donne Nike Roshe One Mesh Rosse Bianche Scontate , March 4 (Xinhua) -- U.S. space agency NASA is hoping to set the record for the longest ever flight for a scientific balloon with a new balloon type to be launched in New Zealand next month.
NASA's Balloon Program team was on the cusp of expanding the envelope in high-altitude, heavy-lift ballooning with its super pressure balloon (SPB) technology, said a statement from the agency Friday.
NASA experts are in the South Island resort town of Wanaka Uomo Donne Nike Roshe Two Tutte Nere Scontate , preparing for the fourth flight of a 532,000-cubic-meter balloon, with the goal of an ultra-long-duration flight of up to 100 days.
Launch of the pumpkin-shaped Uomo Nike Roshe One Tutte Nere Scontate , football stadium-size balloon was scheduled for sometime after April 1.
The SPB was made from almost 8 hectares of polyethylene film and would ascend to a nearly constant float altitude of 33.5 km.
The balloon would travel eastward carrying a 1,025 kg payload of tracking, communications and scientific instruments Uomo Nike Air Max 95 Ultra Essential Nere Bianche Scontate , and was expected to circumnavigate the globe once every one to three weeks, depending on wind speeds in the stratosphere.
The current SPB flight duration record is 54 days and was set in 2009.
Longer-duration flights enabled longer observations of scientific phenomena, the ability to survey more sources Nike Air Max 90 Mesh Tutte Bianche Scontate , and more time to observe weak or subtle sources, while such mid-latitude flights were essential for making observations at night, a requirement for certain types of scientific investigations.
These two aspects combined with the relatively low-cost of balloon missions could make the SPB a competitive platform for a number of scientific investigations that would o.
