El Ministerio de Ambiente y Desarrollo Sostenible, con el apoyo del Programa de Naciones Unidas para el Desarrollo (PNUD) y el financiamiento del Adaptation Fund del Protocolo de Kioto, implementó el proyecto de “Reducción del riesgo y de la vulnerabilidad al cambio climático en la región de La Mojana”, una apuesta que logró generar acciones que les permitieron a las comunidades de los municipios de San Benito Abad, San Marcos y Ayapel, enfrentar las inundaciones y sequías producidas por los efectos del cambio climático, a través de la implementación de medidas de adaptación en sus modos de vida.
Gracias a esta iniciativa, la Mojana, y los Municipios de San Benito Abad, Ayapel y San Marcos, cuentan ahora con una valiosa cantidad de información hidroclimatológica y un Sistema de Alertas Tempranas implementado coordinadamente con el IDEAM y CORPOMOJANA, que aporta información sin precedentes en otras regiones del país, para la planeación y tomar decisiones de política pública a nivel nacional, regional y local. En este sentido, se establecieron 11 estaciones de monitoreo climático, y se consolidaron 27 comités comunitarios para el monitoreo del Sistema de Alertas Tempranas, así como la creación del Centro de Pronósticos y Alertas que funciona en Corpomojana.
El proyecto logró también resultados significativos para las comunidades de la región de la Mojana, que implementaron medidas agroecológicas adaptables al cambio climático, que fomentan las prácticas tradicionales de producción más resilientes a los efectos del clima. Así mismo, apoyó el desarrollo de actividades productivas que permiten la diversificación de fuentes de alimentos que contribuyen a la seguridad alimentaria y generación de ingresos, con una participación directa de 2.000 familias. Se establecieron más de 270 hectáreas de sistemas agrosilvopastoriles, 1.900 huertas familiares adaptadas a posibles inundaciones y más de 80 hectáreas de cultivos orgánicos de maíz, fríjol, guandú, plátano y yuca.
Así mismo, junto con las comunidades, se propuso un diseño de vivienda y centro comunitario que incorporan criterios de adaptación y variabilidad climática. Como resultado se construyeron 11 centros comunitarios adaptados al cambio climático para la comunidad; se implementaron en más de 500 hogares sistemas de captación de agua lluvia para los tiempos de sequía y medidas de gestión del riesgo; se edificaron viviendas vernáculas con adaptaciones a las inundaciones y se estructuraron 14 centros educativos con medidas para proporcionar agua en tiempos de sequía para más de 200 niños.
Con el apoyo técnico del Instituto Alexander Von Humboldt- IAVH, el Proyecto construyó para la región, la planificación eco regional, que define los lugares y acciones necesarias para la restauración de ecosistemas, a partir de la Planificación para la restauración de ecosistemas de humedal. Se implementaron acciones de restauración impactando a 945 hectáreas, en los Municipios de Ayapel, San Benito Abad y San Marcos y 35 km de canales en 5 caños priorizados en el territorio, recuperando la capacidad de regulación y amortiguación de estos ecosistemas, reduciendo la vulnerabilidad de las comunidades, la flora y fauna nativa mojanera, frente a los impactos de inundaciones y sequías. Estas acciones beneficiaron a más de 4.500 personas y permitieron la instalación de 29 viveros temporales establecidos con una producción de más de 200 mil plantas, de las cuales cerca de 137 mil, fueron sembradas.
“Aquí aprendimos de todo, recibimos muchas capacitaciones y al final nosotras sacamos adelante este proyecto. Con el conocimiento hicimos los viveros, las restauraciones y las huertas, ahora acompañamos a otras comunidades para hacer lo mismo”, cuenta Juana Madariaga de la comunidad de Pasifueres.
Por otra parte se realizó el fortalecimiento Comunitario e Institucional, con el que se capacitaron 155 Promotores Rurales para la Adaptación territorial, incorporar consideraciones de Cambio Climático en 12 instrumentos de planificación, 38 organizaciones de base, 3 de ellas lideradas por mujeres y se instaló la Plataforma de Mujer Rural. Esta estrategia se trabajó de la mano con las alcaldías municipales, las universidades regionales y las autoridades ambientales con jurisdicción en el territorio.
“Para el Ministerio de Ambiente y Desarrollo Sostenible el trabajo realizado en la Mojana es un ejemplo para todo el país. Este proceso no sólo ha permitido a la región adaptarse a los efectos del cambio climático, sino tejer procesos de asociatividad que han permitido comprender con mayor facilidad los cambios presentados en la región y establecer las medidas necesarias para adaptarse y enfrentar temporadas de sequía o inundaciones”, Comentó el Ministro de Ambiente Carlos Correa.
Gracias a la experiencia y las lecciones aprendidas con el proyecto “Reducción del riesgo y de la vulnerabilidad al cambio climático en la región de La Mojana” se abre la puerta a una nueva iniciativa que escalará todas estas acciones para aumentar la resiliencia al clima y la sostenibilidad ambiental y social de las comunidades vulnerables en la región de La Mojana. Lo anterior, a través del proyecto Mojana Clima y Vida, liderado por el Fondo de Adaptación, con recursos del Fondo Verde para el Clima (GCF) que cobijará a los 11 municipios de la depresión Momposina, con el fin de aumentar la resiliencia y la sostenibilidad socioambiental para abordar los efectos del cambio climático, el uso sostenible de los recursos naturales y la gestión eficiente frente a los riesgos de desastres.
“Los logros alcanzados, no serían posibles sin el compromiso de las comunidades y el apoyo de la institucionalidad pública nacional, regional y local, en cabeza del Ministerio de Ambiente y Desarrollo Sostenible y de la local, gobernaciones, alcaldías y corporaciones ambientales, quienes han contribuido a que las medidas implementadas por el proyecto tengan resultados tangibles. Seguiremos trabajando en el fortalecimiento y generación de capacidades locales, que se materialicen en una planeación del desarrollo sostenible y compatible con el clima, y en la construcción de territorios resilientes y adaptados, concluyó Jimena Puyana, Gerente de Ambiente y Desarrollo Sostenible. / Nov. 14, 2020.

AU Ministerial Retreat of the Executive Council Brainstorms on the Implementation of Agenda 2063

This farm implement was a clodbusters to level the fields to baby bottom smooth. This would be a clodhopper if it didn't have enough weight. In fact most would revel in the field smoothed with this device but frankly it mostly opened the soil for blowing to Kansas and even though the concept was to destroy the bugs in the field there has been movement to minimum tillage farming which would require much less labor and enormous fuel and soil savings. I guess this decision would be different for a family organic grower who planned on leaving the land to his heirs or a corporate famer on leased land of large acreage. This device has been lying here fallow for some time.
I resurrected this earlier shot to add to the mass of agricultural shots in the Stream. I restarted with the RAW and used a couple of slices, the second with a stop-and-a-half boost for an Alpha Channel transparency to bring detail up. It's always fun to shoot an abandoned farm but it's a bonus to find some of the old machinery remaining. There are libraries of photos hidden in the details. I will have to take the full frame Nikon back for another trek.
Here we are at the MacIntosh Farm Preservation Center outside of Longmont, Colorado. Boulder County has collected many old agricultural machines on the property that boasts two large barns.
These implements or tools of the trade caught my attention from the highway. They add character to a farm.
Thought more and implemented less. This is the reality of my long weekend. But finally everything should come to an end. So, just to celebrate my planning failure, i have decided in the afternoon (after sleeping till 2 PM) to visit Plum Island, located 25 miles north of Boston. One of my colleague and friend suggested this last friday when i was making my BIG plans.
The island is approximately 11 miles in length and most of the island is a National Wildlife Refugee. The entry is restricted to certain beaches during the nesting season. After meeting one of my old friend on the way, I have reached there just before the sunset and had lot of fun playing with my new ND filter on the beach.
Finally before wrapping up my gear, i saw these amazing sunset colors and the crescent moon over the Gatehouse. One thing immediately stuck my mind is a Silhouette :)

My response to www.flickr.com/photos/factoryjoe/3244608669/
I tried to follow the example, but typeset it differently, put more emphasis on the page being used by people new to the standard, who want to adhere to it. I am pretty sure I messed up the Object definition and hope Jyri will chime in to help.
On the right are metrics, which I am sure I will get yelled at for, but I have a feeling that companies and "white hat" marketing firms will be *very* interested in verb usage data. There is no reason that DiSo as a non-profit, or activitystrea.ms as a commercial enterprise, cannot make a little money in return for all their hard work.
Snapshot uses implementor cloud ( instead of "popular implementations" ) to give thanks to the containers that have shown support for the DiSo standard. Cloud's text is weighted by sheer volume and encourages competition.
What do you think? Your comments are strongly encouraged!
Important note - This is a pure mock-up, for the purposes of discussion. I have no rights to any of the concepts or intellectual properties displayed here, DiSo does.
Este año, la Casa del Deporte implementará un total de 19 escuelas gratuitas en Viña del Mar, con once disciplinas entre las que se encuentran como novedades el balonmano y la halterofilia.
Entre las postales que dejaron los X Juegos Suramericanos ODESUR Santiago 2014, además de la histórica cosecha de medallas que completaron un total de 129 preseas para nuestro país, se cuentan recintos repletos de público vitoreando a deportistas como si se tratasen de eliminatorias mundialistas de futbol, evidenciando el gran interés y pasión que sienten los chilenos por deportes muy distintos al balompié.
Consciente de esta atención por variadas disciplinas, es que la Ilustre Municipalidad de Viña del Mar, a través de la Casa del Deporte, hace ya casi una década, ha implementado de forma gratuita en toda la ciudad, un programa compuesto por Escuelas Deportivas, y que este año junto a las ya clásicas Tenis, taekwondo, Karate, Natación, Basquetbol, Hockey Patín, Gimnasia Rítmica, Voleibol y Rugby, trae importantes novedades, como la inclusión de dos nuevas especialidades deportivas.
El programa de Escuelas Deportivas, este 2014, da la bienvenida a su oferta al cada día más popular Balonmano o Handball, y que después de la brillante participación de las selecciones chilenas masculinas y femeninas de la disciplina, premiadas con bronce en ODESUR 2014, y que justamente jugaron en Viña del Mar, es que niños, jóvenes y adultos, pusieron sus ojos sobre esta entretenida rama deportiva.
Junto con el balonmano, la Halterofilia o Levantamiento Olímpico de Pesas, también se suma al programa Escuelas Deportivas, y consiste en el levantamiento de la mayor cantidad de peso posible en una barra en cuyos extremos se fijan varios discos, los cuales determinan el peso final que se levanta, y que reciben el nombre de “haltera”.
Orientadas a niños entre 7 y 14 años, las Escuelas Deportivas 2014, suman un total de diecinueve, y para la inscripción en cualquiera de las once disciplinas de este año, sólo hay que asistir al lugar, el día y la hora fijada para la clase, y llenar una matrícula gratuita con los datos personales del alumno, y la firma de un apoderado mayor de edad autorizando la participación del menor en el taller. Te esperamos!
Two young girls from Soromiata 2 elementary school, Soromiata village, Lola prefecture, Nzérékoré region, Guinea. UNICEF Guinea country office in collaboration with UNICEF WCARO regional office and UNICEF New York headquarters, conducted a field mission in October 2022 to review the status of the effective implementation of primary health care and the Child Friendly Communities (CFC) initiative in Nzérékoré region, Guinea.
The administrative region of Nzérékoré, located in the southeast of Guinea, 954 km from the capital Conakry, includes 6 health districts and has an estimated total population of approximately 2 million inhabitants. The epidemiological profile of this region is characterized by outbreaks of epidemics, including cases of measles, Ebola virus disease, Lassa hemorrhagic fever, and Marburg. Over the past two decades, the Ministry of Health and Public Hygiene in Guinea has been committed to making maternal, newborn, and child health a priority. However, insufficient progress has been made based on the results of the DHS from 1999 to 2018. There has been a slight decrease in neonatal mortality rates from 48 to 32 per 1,000 live births, infant and child mortality from 177 per 1,000 to 111 deaths per 1,000 live births, and infant mortality from 98 deaths to 67 per 1,000 in 2018. Only 27% of children under 5 years of age sleep under Long Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLINs). 55% of children under 5 with diarrhea received treatment with Oral Rehydration Solutions (ORS) and only 22% with ORS-Zinc. Only 83% of children with Acute Respiratory Infections (ARI) received treatment or counseling and 30% on the same day. Only 24% of children aged 12-23 months received all vaccinations with persistent measles outbreaks. Low rate of exclusive breastfeeding 33%. High prevalence of stunting at 30%, 9% are emaciated or acutely malnourished and 16% are underweight. Low level of sanitation, 52% of households have an improved sanitation facility. The Ministry of Health's main strategy for Universal Health Coverage (UHC) is based on primary health care. In 2018, UNICEF in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and Public Hygiene (MSHP) operationalized this new policy in 40 communes known as convergence communes with the Ministry of Territorial Administration and Decentralization (MATD).

With no agricultural background, Dr. Panda has developed unique natural bonsai in his Vijnana Bana Ashram which also shows path for earning just by uprooting and nurturing the plants which are found to be small and thumb in nature.
Dr. Panda's Scientific Endeavour and research is no doubt praise worthy. One cannot but believe his dedicated effort in simple innovation laboratory.
Social service, innovation/ inventions, writing, free technology to students for preparation of science exhibition projects, free technology to common men for their sustainability, preparation of big natural bonsai, technology for entrepreneurs and industrialists for innovative item are few works of Mihir Kumar Panda after his Government service.
. To overcome the difficulties of science and math, explanation in classes, innovator Panda has created few thousands of educational, societal and scientific innovations which helps teachers and students of the country and abroad.
Dr. Panda believes that though inventions/innovation has reached under thousands and thousands deep in the sea and high up in the space. It has reached on moon and mars, but unfortunately the sustainable inventions/innovation has not properly gone to the tiny tots and common people.
Dr. Panda is amazing and wizard of innovations and works with a principle the real scientist is he, who sees the things simply and works high.
Dr.Mihir Kumar Panda's work can be explained in short
Sports with Science from Dawn to Dusk
Struggle some life- science in words and action
Triumphs of Science - Science at foot path
Hilarious dream in midst scarcity
A life of innovator de-avoided of Advertisement.

The Ministerial Retreat was chaired by Hon. Simbarashe S. Mumbengegwi, Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Zimbabwe and Chairperson of the Executive Council, in the presence of H.E. Dr Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma, Chairperson of the African Union Commissioners, H.E Mr. Erastus Mwencha, Deputy Chairperson of the AUC. Hon. Dr Tedros Adhenon Ghebreyesus, Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia, H.E Abay Weldu, President of the Regional Authority of Tigray, representatives from AU Organs, the UNECA, NEPAD, RECs AfDB, AU Commissioners , the AUC Secretary General, and the Legal Counsel of the AUC, and invited guests.
President Weldu welcomed the participants in the city of Mekelle and presented the historical background of the region which he qualified as courageous and privileged population who inherited the most archeological objects and sites of humanity. He said the agenda of this retreat has a significant meaning to the Tigray tribe/people of Ethiopia. He appreciated the vision of the Union aimed at creatiing an integrated, prosperous and peaceful Africa”.
In her opening remarks, Dr. Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma, AUC Chairperson, recalled the first retreat in the city of Ethiopia Bahir Dar in 2014, where she introduced the Dream of the African People in “the e-mail from the future”, among others. “Two years ago, as we concluded the 50th anniversary of the OAU/AU, we met as in retreat in the city of Bahir Dar, to discuss the core responsibilities of this important organ, the Executive Council. It was then when I spoke about our dream of the Africa we want, in the e-mail from the future.
Two years later, as we gather here in Mekelle, Tigray region we can report that we have made some headway. As discussed at this retreat, we now have Agenda 2063 as our clarion call for action, supported by all sections of the African society”, stated the AUC Chairperson. She explained that, “we are now clear on the priorities of Agenda 2063, investing in our people, especially youth and women; in agricultural modernization and agro-businesses; in manufacturing and industrialization; the development of our infrastructure; democracy and developmental governance, as well as the need of silencing the guns by 2020.”
“Our Agenda 2063 flagship projects - such as the free movement of people, the Commodities strategy, the Pan African Integrated High speed Rail network - is taking off, and should help towards our vision of an integrated, peaceful and prosperous Africa, driven by its own people and taking its rightful place in the world”, underscored Dr. Dlamini Zuma.
Referring to the song on Agenda 2063 composed by a group of artists from Zimbabwe, played during the opening ceremony of the retreat, the AUC Chairperson called on other artists within the continent to emulate the good example. “ I would like to thank the Zimbabwean artists who came up with that song on Agenda 2063, and I challenge all of us to encourage our artists to compose as many songs as possible. Of course as the Chair of the Union, Zimbabwe led from the front”. She thanks the Mekelle authorities for hosting the AU Ministerial retreat and wished the Ministers fruitful deliberation. (See complete speech of the AUC Chairperson on the website: www.au.int ).
The Chairperson of the Executive Council on his part, recalled the high moments and priorities on Agenda 2063 saying “our Agenda is centred in the review of implementation of decisions taken during the 2nd Ministerial retreat and update on the implementation of the 1st ten year plan of Agenda 2063, the free movement of goods and persons, the issue of Immigration and tourism and wild life preservation”. Minister Mumbengegwi stressed that “as we continue streamlining and improving the working methods of our Union, we also need to consider how best we can align our bi-annual Summits in order to improve the effectiveness of our organisation and to give ourselves ample time to implement our decisions”. He expressed satisfaction to the fact that notable success has already been achieved in this vein, hence the need to proffering new and innovative ideas that will take the organisation to greater heights. (See complete speech of the Executive Chairperson on the AU Website: www.au.int) .
Speaking earlier, Hon. Dr. Tedros Ghebreyesus, stressed on the importance of holding the ministerial retreat which he said will enhance friendly and convivial relationship between the ministers. The Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia said such gathering will enable the participants to express themselves freely while socialising with one another. He called on his pars saying, “We have a number of important issues to deliver including exchanging views and best practices on how to domesticate and enhance the implementation of agenda 2063 and its flagship projects.
Organized by the African Union Commission (AUC), the third Ministerial Retreat aims at brainstorming and exchanging ideas on critical issues related to the implementation of the Africa Agenda 2063 so as to give clear direction and guidelines on devising best ways and means for its domestication to help improve the living conditions of the African citizens.
The Ministers will among other things consider AU Commission Restructuring Project, the free movement of people, African tourism, wild life conservation, and state of the African tourism sector and its opportunities and challenges.
At the end of its deliberations, the Ministerial Retreat will adopt the Mekelle Ministerial Retreat draft Outcomes document to be tabled during the Executive Council meeting scheduled to hold on 27 and 27 January 2016 for adoption. The AU Ministerial Retreat ends on Tuesday 26th January 2016.

UNIDAD DE SALUD DEL PERSONAL DEL SERVICIO SALUD CHILOÉ SUMA MAS PROFESIONALES PARA IMPLEMENTAR MEDICINA COMPLEMENTARIA EN LA ATENCIÓN DE FUNCIONARIOS
· Las horas se solicitan directamente con la Unidad de Salud del Personal, ubicada sus dependencias en calle Chacabuco de Castro. Estos se realizan de lunes a viernes de 8 a 1 7 horas. Luego de esta marcha blanca dirigida sólo a los funcionarios de salud, las atenciones serán destinadas a los usuarios isleños.
Funcionarios de la Red Asistencial del Servicio Salud Chiloé serán atendidos en dependencias de la Unidad de Salud del Personal para optar a diferentes alternativas de medicina complementaria.
Según fue explicado por una de las médicos que aplicarán las terapias en los usuarios, la doctora Gladys Avilés, a las terapias de medicina complementarias practicadas por el doctor Jaime Ibacache (Terapia Neural) y Sergio Robles Oñate (Acupuntura), se suman seis nuevos profesionales del Hospital Augusto Riffart de Castro para apoyar la implementación de las nuevas disciplinas de medicina alternativa que serán aplicadas.
Flores de Bach, Reiki, Auriculoterapia y Acupuntura son las disciplinas con que contarán los usuarios como una forma de apoyar los episodios de estrés y diversas dolencias a los cuales éstos se encuentran expuestos.
“Estamos muy contentos y esperamos que se masifique. Desde este año se inicia el policlínico de medicinas complementarias, para todos los funcionarios de la salud, (al principio) después se irá ampliando a todos nuestros usuarios”, detalló la profesional.
Explicó la doctora Avilés, que fue el Servicio de Salud quien facilitó la formación tanto de profesionales en sintergética como también profesionales en acupuntura “en la escuela de medicina tradicional china se formaron ahí varios profesionales que hoy trabajan en Chiloé. Las autoridades tanto del Hospital de Castro como del Servicio Salud Chiloé han visto la necesidad y con el tiempo estas terapias fueron tomando fuerza y hoy se sabe que existen resultados favorables. El equipo está muy agradecido de las autoridades que entienden lo que esto significa y nos permiten realizar esta medicina que ve al hombre como un ser integral”, finalizó.
La implementación de estas medicinas es producto de gestiones con el referente de Medicinas Complementarias del Servicio de Salud y los profesionales del Hospital de Castro y del USP / PRAIS. "Ha sido un esfuerzo de meses que finalmente ha dado frutos. Esta incorporación ayudará que los funcionarios tengan la posibilidad de contar con otras terapias para propiciar su salud, para que podamos a mediano plazo, otorgarle estas prestaciones a los usuarios", declaró el médico y referente de Medicinas Complementarias, Sergio Robles Oñate.
Al respecto el doctor Jaime Ibacache señaló; “hace años que he trabajado impulsando la Salud Complementaria en nuestro servicio, la que cada día toma mayor relevancia dado que es necesario ampliar la forma de entender salud y enfermedad por parte de los integrantes de los equipos de salud. Debo aclara que la terapia neural (que practico a diario con mis pacientes) no es una medicina alternativa ni complementaria del sistema médico occidental, es parte de la historia de la medicina y que por razones de otra índole se habían dejado de usar y que hoy la utilizo desde hace 5 años en mi práctica profesional”, finalizó.
Los funcionarios que estén interesados, en tratarse con estas terapias se deben inscribir en las dependencias de la Unidad de Salud del Personal ubicado en calle Chacabuco #280 en Castro a al teléfono contacto 65-2530351.
Es preciso señalar que reconociendo el derecho ciudadano al acceso libre e igualitario a la protección de la salud y la responsabilidad del Estado de velar por la seguridad y calidad de los servicios que se ofrecen a la población, el Ministerio de Salud ha definido e implementado una serie de intervenciones dirigidas al reconocimiento y regulación del ejercicio de estas prácticas no convencionales, en el propósito de considerar la posible incorporación de algunas de ellas al sistema de salud. Por ello, ya en el año 2005 se dictó el Decreto Nº 42 que reglamenta el ejercicio de las prácticas médicas alternativas (complementarias) como profesiones auxiliares de la salud y las condiciones de los recintos en que estas se realizan. A partir de este reglamento marco, se ha evaluado y reconocido a la Acupuntura (Decreto Nº 123/2008) a la Homeopatía (Decreto Nº 19/2010) y a la Naturopatía (Decreto Nº 5/2013) como profesiones auxiliares de la salud.
