The document discusses a new model for public-private partnerships to deliver 100% superfast broadband across the UK. It argues that the socioeconomic benefits of universal broadband access are greater than what consumers are willing to pay. The model proposes sharing investment and returns between local authorities, private investors, and government grants. This would align interests while ensuring commercial viability and financial returns for all stakeholders. The goal is to leverage multiple sources of funding to provide broadband access nationwide.

Broadway Partners INCA Rural Broadband 29-10-2014
The document discusses delivering 100% superfast broadband across the country through new partnerships between local authorities and private sector. It argues that non-rural areas also have gaps ('final 10%') and that a new model is needed. This new model would involve co-investment partnerships to more efficiently finance the buildout through mechanisms like municipal bonds and shared returns. It also suggests procuring initially for the 'first 10%' and leveraging both fiber and wireless technologies.
Creating An International Climate Finance System
The document discusses the need for an International Green Bank (IGB), also known as the Global Investment Trust for Clean Energy, to help mobilize $100 billion per year in climate finance and $500 billion in annual private investments for clean energy projects in developing countries. It argues that while multilateral development banks will play a role, they have limitations that require a new institution focused solely on providing low-cost, long-term financing to lower energy costs and attract more private investment globally for clean energy at scale. The IGB would work to complement existing sources and help overcome political and market barriers to mobilizing financing needed to address climate change.

3) The document outlines domestic challenges and opportunities for India in low carbon growth and carbon financing, and discusses some perspectives on the Copenhagen Accord.
What planners need to know
This document summarizes a potential pay for success program to address childhood asthma through healthy homes interventions in Springfield, MA. It outlines the basic pay for success model and how it could apply to reducing asthma triggers in the home. Unhealthy homes cause 40% of asthma episodes, so addressing root causes through environmental assessments, education, and repairs could significantly improve health outcomes. The evidence shows home-based multi-trigger interventions recommended by the Surgeon General and Task Force can reduce asthma hospitalizations and costs. Measurable savings in healthcare utilization could repay private investors if a targeted number of asthma episodes are averted.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data Warehouse
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.
