The World Health Organisation (WHO) has developed an electronic solution using hospital-based study on 10,000 pregnant women in Nigeria and Uganda to reduce the high labour-related child and maternal death rate in sub-Saharan Africa.

The software, an electronic health solution, tagged Simplified, Effective, Labour Monitoring-to-Action (SELMA) tool, would be built into mobile phones, tablets and other mobile devices. It promises to enhance the capacity of less skilled persons working in rural areas but does not replace the expertise of a specialist.

WHO BOLD Research Group was led by João Paulo Souza, a Medical Officer at the WHO Department of Reproductive Health and Research, and a professor of Social Medicine at the Ribeirão Preto Medical School, University of São Paulo, Brazil.

"Highlight can be your best friend," said veteran makeup artist  Billy B , who has worked with  Lady Gaga ,  Beyoncé  and  Christina Aguilera . "Once you start having a little bit of texture, like crow's feet, you can use highlighter there, and that reflects the light and takes away from the texture. It's a trick that I use on the red carpet all time...with  Sharon Stone ." If fine lines are years away, here's a tip that can apply to anyone: "Less is more," he advised.
