Death in Childbirth - My Wife Died After Giving Birth. Courtesy Judah Schiller. When Judah Schiller talks about how he met his wife, Galit, his voice gets soft.

I was 2. 5 at the time and scuba diving in the Red Sea," the executive vice president of Saatchi & Saatchi S reminisces. You can imagine: pillows, campfire, the beautiful water, the brown hues of the desert. I was sitting there trying to charm these two very lovely French models, and Galit sat down a few pillows away from us. She was a very pretty woman, and I could tell she was kind of eavesdropping, so I invited her to join the conversation." Advertisement - Continue Reading Below. The models left, and the couple watched the sun set over the Sinai Mountains, beginning a charmed courtship that resulted in their 1. Shortly afterward, they settled in San Francisco, where their first son, Tomer, was born in 1. In 2. 00. 2, they had their daughter, Naomi.

By June 2. 00. 7, Israeli- born Galit was 3. Iyengar- yoga instructor, and the Schillers were celebrating the arrival of their third child, another boy they named Satya.

Judah recalls, "This was the easiest birth of the three, and she seemed to recover quickly. The kids came to the hospital and she felt good."The new mother stayed in the hospital for about a day and a half, a typical recovery period for vaginal deliveries, before returning home. By the next evening, life seemed back to normal. My parents had come up, and it was one of those warm Bay Area kind of June days," says Judah.

Downton Abbey is a historical period drama television series created by Julian Fellowes and co-produced by Carnival Films and Masterpiece. It first aired on ITV in.

We were outside on our deck having champagne, thankful and happy that we had had a healthy baby."However, during dinner, Galit began to feel pressure in her diaphragm and chest area. Within the hour, the pain had gotten so bad that she asked to be taken to the hospital. As Judah helped her into the car, she passed out, unconscious. Although the paramedics came quickly and rushed Galit to the emergency room, she died later that evening. There was a lot of internal bleeding, and everything just spiraled," he says sadly.

But one of the most agonizing moments came the next morning. The kids came in to snuggle and play at 7: 0. I had been in the hospital till midnight watching my wife — their mother — die. The newborn had to be fed every few hours, and I didn't have a bottle in the house because breast- feeding was the plan. The older children had seen the ambulance come the night before, and their first question was 'Where's Ima?'" he explains, using the Hebrew word for mother.

I said, 'Ima died last night.'"Advertisement - Continue Reading Below. Sadly, the case of Galit Schiller is all too familiar in the United States, where, in spite of access to the best medical care in the world, the rate of maternal death related to pregnancy or birth almost doubled between 1. The cause of death varies from woman to woman. Some result from infection, some hypertension, some septic shock, and some amniotic- fluid embolism, a complication in which amniotic fluid or other matter re- enters the mother's bloodstream, triggering a reaction that can result in cardiorespiratory arrest and hemorrhaging. In one chilling coincidence in 2. New Jersey town witnessed the death of two friends, Valerie Scythes and Melissa Farah, teachers at the same school who gave birth at the same hospital and died of childbirth- related complications within two weeks of each other (reportedly of a blocked blood vessel and internal bleeding, respectively).

Unfortunately for the Schillers, the results of Galit's autopsy were inconclusive. I was sort of disgusted with the way the coroner's proceedings were held," Judah maintains. Regardless of how maternal deaths occur, the Centers for Disease Control has estimated that more than half of them could be avoided by early diagnosis and treatment. Ina May Gaskin, a certified professional midwife who is considered one of the leading experts on the subject, says, "They used to keep women in the hospital for 1. By the '6. 0s, they shortened that to five days, and in the early '9.

Regardless of our modern aspirations to superwoman strength, Gaskin contends that two days is not enough. You're home, you're still hurting, you could be infected, you could still have something in your uterus. All these things can be dangerous, and they can be easily fixed if you spot the trouble in time."Advertisement - Continue Reading Below. Advertisement - Continue Reading Below. Gaskin's recommendation is a simple combination of rest and at- home check- ins for the mother by a postpartum doula, nurse, or midwife for several days after delivery — a program that is de rigueur in the Netherlands, where, according to a 2. U. N. agencies, a woman's estimated lifetime risk of dying as a result of pregnancy- and childbirth- related complications is one in 1.

In the U. S., the number is one in 4,8. Of course, some insurance plans are loath to cover the cost of additional maternal care. In fact, the current system makes it easy to underestimate the problem. Not every state asks doctors to report if a woman was pregnant or recently gave birth on a death certificate, and there is no federal legislation mandating maternal- mortality review committees at a state level.

In fact, the CDC estimated in 1. U. S. maternal death rate between 1. When you see women who have the best insurance losing their lives, you know there is something really, really wrong," says Gaskin. Nurses could easily be brought up to speed on postpartum care, and we'd have all kinds of people to do that work. It would be so easy for insurance companies to cover that. Even if it saved as few as 2.

Gaskin strongly believes that it is up to individuals to take control of their health care by asking the right questions and to the country as a whole to demand solutions that will prompt Congress to effect change. But, says Judah, "If it happens here to someone healthy, at a first- class hospital, imagine what it's like in a developing country."Advertisement - Continue Reading Below.

As a result, organizations like the White Ribbon Alliance for Safe Motherhood, a coalition of medical professionals and others from 1. In July, WRA members launched a campaign urging G8 leaders to pledge an additional $1. U. N.'s fifth Millennium Development Goal, which is committed to cutting global maternal mortality by 7. The campaign includes Sarah Brown, wife of British prime minister Gordon Brown and co- chair of the Maternal Mortality Leadership Group as well as global patron of the WRA; Naomi Campbell; and Gwyneth Paltrow. As Sarah Brown says, "The G8 in Italy has just delivered a much firmer political consensus on maternal health. What the U. N. must deliver is leadership for this issue at the heart of achieving all the Millennium Development Goals, funding for training health workers, and improving access for women wherever they are vulnerable."Back in San Francisco, the Schillers have tried to move on with their lives, but Judah works hard to preserve the children's memories of their mother. It's something I've had the great pleasure and the great displeasure to think deeply about," he says philosophically.

We talk about how she was good at playing horse and she was really competitive at Ping- Pong. My daughter has a hard time remembering what her hair felt like or the softness of her skin but will remember a pair of striped corduroy pants that she had."Taking your kids to their mother's grave is not the kind of relationship you want them to have with her," Judah concedes.

Yes, Google Uses Its Power to Quash Ideas It Doesn’t Like—I Know Because It Happened to Me [Updated]The story in the New York Times this week was unsettling: The New America Foundation, a major think tank, was getting rid of one of its teams of scholars, the Open Markets group. New America had warned its leader Barry Lynn that he was “imperiling the institution,” the Times reported, after he and his group had repeatedly criticized Google, a major funder of the think tank, for its market dominance. The criticism of Google had culminated in Lynn posting a statement to the think tank’s website “applauding” the European Commission’s decision to slap the company with a record- breaking $2.

That post was briefly taken down, then republished. Soon afterward, Anne- Marie Slaughter, the head of New America, told Lynn that his group had to leave the foundation for failing to abide by “institutional norms of transparency and collegiality.”Google denied any role in Lynn’s firing, and Slaughter tweeted that the “facts are largely right, but quotes are taken way out of context and interpretation is wrong.” Despite the conflicting story lines, the underlying premise felt familiar to me: Six years ago, I was pressured to unpublish a critical piece about Google’s monopolistic practices after the company got upset about it. In my case, the post stayed unpublished. I was working for Forbes at the time, and was new to my job. In addition to writing and reporting, I helped run social media there, so I got pulled into a meeting with Google salespeople about Google’s then- new social network, Plus. The Google salespeople were encouraging Forbes to add Plus’s “+1" social buttons to articles on the site, alongside the Facebook Like button and the Reddit share button. They said it was important to do because the Plus recommendations would be a factor in search results—a crucial source of traffic to publishers.

This sounded like a news story to me. Google’s dominance in search and news give it tremendous power over publishers. By tying search results to the use of Plus, Google was using that muscle to force people to promote its social network. I asked the Google people if I understood correctly: If a publisher didn’t put a +1 button on the page, its search results would suffer? Watch Online Watch White Lightnin` Full Movie Online Film here.

The answer was yes. After the meeting, I approached Google’s public relations team as a reporter, told them I’d been in the meeting, and asked if I understood correctly. The press office confirmed it, though they preferred to say the Plus button “influences the ranking.” They didn’t deny what their sales people told me: If you don’t feature the +1 button, your stories will be harder to find with Google. With that, I published a story headlined, “Stick Google Plus Buttons On Your Pages, Or Your Search Traffic Suffers,” that included bits of conversation from the meeting. The Google guys explained how the new recommendation system will be a factor in search.

Universally, or just among Google Plus friends?” I asked. Universal’ was the answer. So if Forbes doesn’t put +1 buttons on its pages, it will suffer in search rankings?” I asked. Google guy says he wouldn’t phrase it that way, but basically yes.(An internet marketing group scraped the story after it was published and a version can still be found here.)Google promptly flipped out. This was in 2. 01.

Google never challenged the accuracy of the reporting. Instead, a Google spokesperson told me that I needed to unpublish the story because the meeting had been confidential, and the information discussed there had been subject to a non- disclosure agreement between Google and Forbes. I had signed no such agreement, hadn’t been told the meeting was confidential, and had identified myself as a journalist.) It escalated quickly from there. I was told by my higher- ups at Forbes that Google representatives called them saying that the article was problematic and had to come down.

The implication was that it might have consequences for Forbes, a troubling possibility given how much traffic came through Google searches and Google News. I thought it was an important story, but I didn’t want to cause problems for my employer. And if the other participants in the meeting had in fact been covered by an NDA, I could understand why Google would object to the story. Given that I’d gone to the Google PR team before publishing, and it was already out in the world, I felt it made more sense to keep the story up. Ultimately, though, after continued pressure from my bosses, I took the piece down—a decision I will always regret. Forbes declined comment about this. But the most disturbing part of the experience was what came next: Somehow, very quickly, search results stopped showing the original story at all.

As I recall it—and although it has been six years, this episode was seared into my memory—a cached version remained shortly after the post was unpublished, but it was soon scrubbed from Google search results. That was unusual; websites captured by Google’s crawler did not tend to vanish that quickly.

And unpublished stories still tend to show up in search results as a headline. Scraped versions could still be found, but the traces of my original story vanished. It’s possible that Forbes, and not Google, was responsible for scrubbing the cache, but I frankly doubt that anyone at Forbes had the technical know- how to do it, as other articles deleted from the site tend to remain available through Google. Deliberately manipulating search results to eliminate references to a story that Google doesn’t like would be an extraordinary, almost dystopian abuse of the company’s power over information on the internet. I don’t have any hard evidence to prove that that’s what Google did in this instance, but it’s part of why this episode has haunted me for years: The story Google didn’t want people to read swiftly became impossible to find through Google. Google wouldn’t address whether it deliberately deep- sixed search results related to the story. Asked to comment, a Google spokesperson sent a statement saying that Forbes removed the story because it was “not reported responsibly,” an apparent reference to the claim that the meeting was covered by a non- disclosure agreement.

Again, I identified myself as a journalist and signed no such agreement before attending. People who paid close attention to the search industry noticed the piece’s disappearance and wroteaboutit, wondering why it disappeared.

Those pieces, at least, are still findable today. As for how effective the strategy was, Google’s dominance in other industries didn’t really pan out for Plus. Six years later, the social network is a ghost town and Google has basically given up on it. But back when Google still thought it could compete with Facebook on social, it was willing to play hardball to promote the network. Google started out as a company dedicated to ensuring the best access to information possible, but as it’s grown into one of the largest and most profitable companies in the world, its priorities have changed. Even as it fights against ordinary people who want their personal histories removed from the web, the company has an incentive to suppress information about itself. Google said it never urged New America to fire Lynn and his team.

But an entity as powerful as Google doesn’t have to issue ultimatums. It can just nudge organizations and get them to act as it wants, given the influence it wields.
