Implementing Novel Ideas and Methods: Building and implementing a national health informatics course for Canadian pharmacy students
Britten recently headed up a large project that combined site surveys, hardware, print, and installation at several different Vail resorts across the country.
Following the on-site analysis at each resort (which was conducted in 6 different states in the span of a week), recommendations were made for specifically sized BannerStretch™ tensioned frames, silicone-edged fabric frames, and decal applications in other instances. Design templates were provided for each location and a unique piece of artwork was provided for every individual piece of media.

Santiago, 30.08.2018. Con el fin de fortalecer la confianza y el control social, entidades privadas sin fines de lucro o que reciben fondos estatales se dieron cita para compartir experiencias y acciones implementadas en materia de Transparencia y los desafíos que deberán enfrentar al transformarse en sujetos obligados por ley a cumplir con estándares de Transparencia.
El sector sin fines de lucro, que contempla a organizaciones de carácter privado como fundaciones, asociaciones o corporaciones, mantiene una imagen positiva de la ciudadanía con un 70% de valoración, de acuerdo al Primer Índice de Valoraciones de las OSC del proyecto Sociedad en Acción.
Sin embargo, se están enfrentando al reto de visibilizar cada vez más el uso adecuado de los recursos y el aporte en la gestión para incidir en sus campos de acción. Con este fin, algunas de ellas han implementado una serie de acciones tendientes a elevar sus estándares de transparencia apuntando a resguardar la confianza pública, junto con fortalecer su relación con los donantes y la ciudadanía.
Todo esto en el marco del seminario “Si lo veo, te creo”, organizado por el Consejo para la Transparencia, el Hogar de Cristo, Fundación Lealtad Chile y el Centro de Políticas Públicas UC, con Sociedad Anónima y el proyecto Sociedad en Acción.
En la actividad inaugural participaron el ministro de Justicia y Derechos Humanos, Hernán Larraín; Marcelo Drago, presidente del Consejo para la Transparencia; y reconocidas figuras del ámbito académico como Ignacio Irarrázaval, director del Centro de Políticas Públicas UC.
Desde las entidades organizadoras del evento se destacó el principio de la Transparencia como clave tanto en el sector privado como en el público, en particular con los cambios que propone el proyecto de ley presentado por el Ejecutivo que incluirá obligaciones para las entidades que reciben recursos estatales.
Marcelo Drago, presidente del Consejo de la Transparencia relevó los avances y la colaboración entre instituciones para elevar los estándares: “Hay experiencias en instituciones privadas que están trabajando con mucho énfasis en transparentar sus acciones, en particular si reciben recursos del Estado. Unas han avanzado más que otras y esa experiencia es la que debe permear. Como CPLT colaboraremos activamente en este esfuerzo, sobre todo, pensando en que será una obligación con la nueva ley".
El Hogar de Cristo está liderando en materia de transparencia a nivel nacional. Con transparencia activa, apuntan cuidar los intereses de una sociedad cada vez más exigente en términos de control social. Hoy se puede revisar en línea sus estados financieros. Juan Cristóbal Romero, director ejecutivo de Hogar de Cristo, sostuvo: “Nosotros, como Hogar de Cristo, nos debemos a la comunidad; más del 50 por ciento de nuestros recursos provienen de ella y la única manera de responder a esa confianza, es ofrecer con el mayor detalle posible el uso que le damos al dinero para el servicio de los más pobres y excluidos”.
Ignacio Irarrázaval, director del Centro de Políticas Públicas UC y del proyecto Sociedad en Acción apuntó a la incidencia de estas acciones para mantener la positiva valoración que ostentan las organizaciones de la sociedad civil (OSC). “Hoy es un desafío darse cuenta de la relevancia que tiene la transparencia para promover la confianza y fe pública en este tipo de organizaciones. En Chile existen más de 230 mil OSC, que movilizan intereses de la ciudadanía y cuentan con una alta valoración. Y deben aspirar mantener eso, con capacidad en su trabajo, pero también con transparencia”.
En el marco del seminario también se debatió sobre los avances en materia de transparencia, revisando experiencias internacionales destacadas como la de la Fundación Lealtad Chile, originaria de España.
La gerenta de PwC Chile y directora de esta Fundación en Chile, Sharoni Rosenberg, hizo un llamado “a que todas las organizaciones sin fines de lucro se sumen el análisis de transparencia que realiza la Fundación gratuitamente y con independencia. Esta herramienta tiene validación internacional, permite la rendición de cuentas, fomenta la confianza y las donaciones”.

March 23, 2012 - "Implementing the Volcker Rule" The Volcker Rule, as authorized by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, is a controversial piece of banking legislation. The Volcker Rule prohibits banking organizations from proprietary trading as well as from owning or sponsoring private equity or hedge funds. Many fear that these regulations will negatively impact the earnings of the countries' major banks. Others claim that the rule will be able to increase transparency within the financial sector and banks. They say the rule will also reduce risks taken in financial institutions with investors' money. The Penn Program on Regulation together with the law firm of Morrison and Foerster LLP hosted a conference in Washington, D.C. in the hope of having a meaningful dialogue surrounding the Volcker Rule's effects on the banks, trading, and the economy at large. The discussion brought together members of the financial, governmental, and legal sectors. Notable participants were Penn Program on Regulation Director Cary Coglianese; PPR faculty affiliates Jill Fisch, Richard Herring, and David Skeel; Andrew Green from the Office of U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley; and Morrison & Foerster partners Charles Horn, Oliver Ireland, and Dwight Smith.

An abandoned farm implement dealership in Lyford, TX.
There's something sad about any abandoned building, but abandoned buildings that once served the farming community are doubly sad, at least in my book. Perhaps it's because I wanted to be a farmer as a child (and still do from time to time, on the days when programming is especially frustrating).

With a grant from the UNDP-implemented Adaptation Fund Climate Innovation Accelerator (UNDP-AFCIA), Savannas Forever Tanzania (sftz.org) is seeking to implement a native plant initiative to accelerate the restoration of biomass and biodiversity in three areas. The organization aims to leverage past learnings and insights to deploy a native flora/plant reseeding and replanting initiative to restore biodiversity, stabilize watersheds, increase soil moisture and combat invasive species.
About the UNDP-AFCIA programme: The UNDP-implemented Adaptation Fund Climate Innovation Accelerator programme operates within the framework of the multi-partner platform known as the Adaptation Innovation Marketplace. Launched by UNDP Administrator Achim Steiner in 2021, this strategic platform is designed to advance scaled-up adaptation efforts at the local level, with a specific focus on civil society, non-governmental organizations and innovative individuals from women and youth. The marketplace aggregates resources, expertise and technical support to facilitate local access to climate change adaptation finance.
The programme is financed by the Adaptation Fund and the European Union. As of September 2024, it has granted 44 micro and small awards to locally led organizations in 33 countries worldwide, accelerating their innovative solutions to enhance resilience in the most vulnerable communities.

The Implementation Workshop of the new CGIAR Research Program on Grain Legumes was highly interactive, with breakout groups discussing how to make partnerships function most effectively and how to formulate workplans for the first year.
The deep water green box caught my eye. Thought it might have been a Penn Central, so I chased it. Consist also had a block of AutoRacks (unusual for this line) and an unloaded wind turbine blade cradle car.
I was getting dinner ready, so I only made it a quick chase to Normangee, and shot it with farm implement dealer stock.
