The Oxfam affiliates in separate countries raise money through donations by individuals, corporations, foundations and governments. Although Oxfam affiliates work within a coordinated framework, each is responsible for handling its finances independently, according to Oxfam International.Know More
Oxfam affiliates have different guidelines by which they solicit and collect donations. For example, it is an official policy of Oxfam America not to accept donations from the United States government, which allows the organization to maintain more independence. On the other hand, some affiliates such as Oxfam Ireland and Oxfam Belgium do accept contributions from their respective national governments. All Oxfam affiliates have financial transparency, provide details and charts of income and expenditure, and receive high ratings from charity watch groups in their respective countries.
Oxfam stands for the Oxford Committee for Famine Relief. Founded by concerned philanthropists in Oxford, England, in 1942 to provide relief for Greeks starving during the Axis occupation, it later grew to include 17 organizations working in approximately 90 countries worldwide. Its initial goal of famine relief expanded to encompass programs to relieve the causes of poverty. Current programs include aiding struggles for human rights, campaigning for gender justice, providing immediate disaster relief, lobbying for protection of natural resources, working toward fair distribution of food supplies, and ensuring health, education and financial well-being for all.Learn more about Industries

Tips for Creative Digital Photography and Lighting
JUNE-JULY 2015 Photo Tips: Geek Stuff
MAY 2015_Flower Photography
Try different lighting in the studio, such as back lighting with a softbox (or use any light softened with a white sheet) behind your flowers.
Add a secondary light to the flowers themselves for emphasis.
Change the background to black with black acrylic for reflections for more drama. Digital paint for a romantic look.
When able to do outdoor photography with spring to summer flowers, try wide open apertures to get bokeh, or soft backgrounds. f/3.2 f/36
April 2015 Blog_ Photography of Shopkeepers
I never really appreciated rapid fire street photography but rather admired portraits of people, such as shopkeepers, that I would find in my locale or in travels. This blog will highlight some of the shopkeepers I photographed during my exploration of Arthur Avenue in the Bronx. Here are some suggestions:
1. Get to know the people you are photographing. Make them comfortable. Ask about their shop and their jobs.
2. I always like to give back. I return on many occasions to the same locale and bring prints for them as gifts or give them jpegs if desired for their own social medial and PR. Word spreads and the cooperation keeps improving.
3. Linger. Don't rush. Be part of the community. This will allow you time to set up for a particular photo even using off camera flash without causing discomfort or alarm.
4. Accept humble offerings of coffee, cheese, pasta etc. since they want to show you that your work is valuable to them. Show respect and they will respect you.
5. Enjoy your new found friends. Expand your horizon and try other neighborhoods that you would like to get to know.

2015_Become a Better Photographer
Make your top priority for this New Year to become a better photographer.
Shoot in aperture priority with exposure compensation to make adjustments in exposure as your go to setting. Learn to use manual when you need greater control, such as the studio setting with accessory lighting.
Please let me know what I can do to help. Would a Lightroom Boot Camp or "Learning to See the Light" tutorial help? Group or individual instruction is available. firstname.lastname@example.com. Happy New Year, Judith

Still, a side of me realizes that without the dark, primal forces, the game of football becomes less beautiful.
My prize was getting to share my ideas with millions of people via TED.com, through the primal art of oral storytelling.
I wanted to fill her with pain and primal rage, which was really fun for me.
c.1600, "belonging to the earliest age," from Medieval Latin primalis "primary," from Latin primus "first" (see prime (adj.)). Psychological sense, in reference to Freud's theory of behaviors springing from the earliest stage of emotional development, is attested from 1918. Primal scream is from a best-selling book of 1971.

Being first in time; original.

Living in the Abundance of GodIt is just as important to learn how to receive a blessing as it is to be willing to give one. So teaches John Osteen in this eye-opening book.

When God tried to bless and increase his life, he struggled with receiving the abundance of God. But the Bible shows us example after
Daily Devotions That Guided the SaviorAfter the destruction of the first temple in Jerusalem, the Jews were exiled to Babylon.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – Seven nurses at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center have been named to the 2009 "Great 100" list in North Carolina that recognizes some of those providing excellent health care.
The Great 100 Inc. is a grassroots organization that allows nurses across the state the opportunity to nominate their peers who demonstrate excellent nursing care of their patients and also a commitment to their vital profession. Recipients are recognized for their outstanding professional ability and for the contributions they make to improve the health care services in their community.
"It is always an honor to have nurses from our staff inducted into this prestigious group of nurses from across North Carolina," said Maureen Sintich, R.N., vice president of operations and chief nursing officer at Wake Forest Baptist.
The nurses from Wake Forest Baptist are: Anita Dixon, B.S.N., R.N., child psychiatry at Brenner Children's Hospital; Vera Eckard, B.S.N., R.N., nurse supervisor for radiation oncology; Carolyn Fulton, R.N., acute care elderly; Robin Hack, M.S.N., R.N., nursing clinical systems; Phyllis D. Knight-Brown, M.S.N., R.N., staff development; Adrianna Sloan, B.S.N., R.N., 4B ICU; Lyn Wooten, M.S.N., R.N., surgery oncology coordinator.
The Wake Forest Baptist recipients will be recognized at a gala event on Saturday, Oct. 3 at the Greensboro Coliseum.
The Great 100 Inc. was formed in 1988 when Heather Thorne, R.N., called together a group of nurses from across the state to develop a plan to select and recognize the best of their profession. The organization also raises funds for nursing scholarship, awarding more than $140,000 to help others pursue a nursing career.

Wake Forest Baptist is committed to providing quality care and a safe hospital environment.
Some experts contend that consuming any form of added sugar, be it table sugar, all-natural honey or high-fructose corn syrup, is equally damaging to your health. But according to Kylie Kavanagh, D.V.M., assistant professor of pathology and comparative medicine at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center, not all calories are created equal.
