Hate mail depraved says Gilmore
Tanaiste Eamon Gilmore has described anti-abortion campaigners who sent hate mail to Praveen Halappanavar as depraved.
He said the widower, whose wife Savita died after being denied an abortion as she suffered a miscarriage in hospital in Galway last year, has been through enough and urged people to leave him alone.
"Praveen Halappanavar has had enough to endure over the course of the last period of time without having to endure the depraved attitudes of people who are just being hurtful," Mr Gilmore said.
"There is no justification and I would call on those who are engaged in that to stop it immediately."
With the Government just days away from enacting new laws on limited abortion, Mr Halappanavar issued legal proceedings against the Health Service Executive for alleged negligence in his wife's death.
He also disclosed details of abusive letters he has received, ordering him to leave Ireland following the political fallout surrounding his wife's death.
The 31-year-old dentist, who was 17 weeks pregnant when she miscarried, died after going into septic shock. She had been refused an abortion.
When written in to law, the controversial Protection of Life During Pregnancy Bill 2013 will legalise terminations where there is a real and substantial risk to the life of the mother, including the threat of suicide.
An inquest in April recorded a verdict of death due to medical misadventure.
The verdict found there were systemic failures or deficiencies in Mrs Halappanavar's care before she died, but coroner Ciaran MacLoughlin said these failures did not contribute to her death.

No matter what you do you still owe that 15,000. No Lender will refinance your car loan.
You could try the following it all depends on how much you make.
* Talk with your back about getting a personal loan for the amount you are upside down on ( + about 1000 or 2000 dollars )
If you get that from the back.
* Sell the car asap, Pay off the car loan with the difference and by used car for the the reaming 1000 or 2000 dollars.
the only think you will be making payments on then is the 15000 personal loan and if you spread that over 6 years should be about 230 to 260 amonth.

We have an entire government agency, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), dedicated to protecting us from terrorists who are largely Muslim. We have torturous security procedures at every stage of air travel. We bear unfathomable costs in taxpayer dollars, and even worse, we have to put up with the surrender of privacy and individual rights because of Islamic jihad -- because of the 9/11 Muslim terrorists, and because of the British Muslims who planned to blow up seven planes and kill 4,000 Americans and/or ...

Suffice it to say that this is an agency which has gone far astray from the purpose for which it was created.
No doubt, it needs to be closed down if it can't be fixed.
There is an almost virtual blockout of news now for Christians in America -- my conclusion is that they have made the choice. TV is easiest way to avoid reality. I'll even make the claim that as a group (there are obvious and glowing exceptions) are becoming some of the least informed segment of the population.
yes, we can do better.

On a serious note; JPW, you've cited some very sobering information about TSA operations and I trust you could provide references if asked. It's mind boggling how far the TSA can intrude into the private space of US fliers without a concerted rebellion. Sory of remind me of God's view of the king of Assyria......
Is 10:13 For he saith, By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom; for I am prudent: and I have removed the bounds of the people, and have robbed their treasures, and I have put down the inhabitants like a valiant man: And my hand hath found as a nest the riches of the people: and as one gathereth eggs [that are] left, have I gathered all the earth; and there was none that moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or peeped.

Good article this.It reveals the professionalism in the government departments (bureaucracy) to serve and protect America.
putting nursing mothers in glass cages for an hour or so, taking people's medical devices off their bodies so bodily fluids run, the multiple thefts of people's wallets, and endless cases of criminals unscreened running the program.
the state of Texas trying to end this, but having their air space closed down in response.
then running inspection checks of private property on buses, subways, and saying it will be spread throughout the country....
these are just a few things off hand that I remember from the last few years.
people blow it off until it happens to them -- we've lost our place as a society -- Muslim nations would never allow their women to be touched as so.
this was never about safety.

From DOUG MOSEL
Anderson Valley
Dan Hamburg has my vote for 5th District supervisor.
The main reason I'm working to get Dan elected is that he will be a reliable advocate for agriculture in Mendocino County. As our next supervisor he will work to grow a local food economy that will be good for farmers and ranchers. That in turn will be good for ag-related businesses and for those of us who want to get our meat and produce from someone we can trust.
To make this happen we will need committed and capable leadership with a long view of the future. We can count on Dan to pay more than lip service to re-localizing our farm economy. He will, for example, help bring an animal processing operation to Mendocino County, which will benefit meat producers and livestock alike.
As never before, we need a supervisor who will be present and accessible all over this large and diverse district. After he's elected, I know Dan will remember Anderson Valley, the south coast, Comptche, Hopland, Mendocino, and south Ukiah–all of the 5th District.
In profoundly challenging times, we need a supervisor who will do his homework, which I know from personal experience Dan will do. He combines deep and broad experience with the discipline to study issues carefully and the commitment to hear all points of view to make decisions or find solutions that are realistic and for the common good.

On Town Meeting Day many Vermont towns will find an article in their warning supporting a "Saving American Democracy" [SAD] amendment to the US Constitution, as proposed by Senator Sanders and Congressman Welch. The stated purpose of SAD is to deny "personhood" to corporations. The real goal is to prevent corporations from speaking out on public issues, especially during elections.
Senator Sanders on his web site argues that the Founding Fathers never intended for corporations to be treated as persons. Sanders (SJR 33) and Welch (HJR 90) propose limiting the scope of the First Amendment to individual private or "natural" persons, as opposed to the "artificial" person created by incorporation.
The SAD effort hopes to overturn a 2010 U.S. Supreme Court case titled Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, which the Left claims first introduced the idea that corporations are people.
Congress first imposed tight limits on campaign finance in 1974 amendments to the Federal Election Campaign Act [FECA], which capped both total spending and individual contributions to campaigns. In Buckley v. Valeo (1976), the Supreme Court on First Amendment grounds voided caps on total spending by candidates. However it did not address the cap on contributions, even though spending clearly is linked to contributions.
Subsequent courts have not touched Buckley v. Valeo. Despite that case's partial victory for free speech, the FECA spending limits did achieve a part of their goal. From 1974 onward, the rate of reelection of incumbents has been higher than ever before.
Spending limits manifestly benefit incumbents. Not surprisingly, incumbents overwhelmingly support caps on campaign spending. For candidates who mount attacks upon "giant corporations," muzzling any potential response from the target simplifies the process.
Two recent cases have clarified the loose ends of Buckley v. Valeo. In March 2010 the DC Circuit Court of Appeals decided Speech Now.org v. Federal Elections Commission. The decision specifically gives First Amendment protection to corporation, union, and individual contributions to advocacy organizations ["Super PACs"] not connected to a candidate's campaign. The US Supreme Court declined to review Speech Now, effectively affirming its findings.
Earlier that year the Supreme Court ruled in Citizens United that all sorts of organizations possess an inherent free speech right to support independent committees that argue their views about issues and candidates. The longstanding caps on contributions by corporations to candidate committees continue in force, on grounds of minimizing opportunity for political graft.
In attacking the right of groups and associations of citizens to speak out in the election process, the Left is mounting a frontal attack on the principle of free of speech and association.
Corporations have been recognized as persons ever since English courts of law first protected incorporation from Royal prerogative in the 16th century. Incorporation protects the property and the rights of individual persons precisely because it affirms the social utility of a group of people organized to function as one person before the law.
This principle was brilliantly enunciated by Daniel Webster in his famous brief and affirmed by the Supreme Court almost 200 years ago in the pivotal Constitutional case, Trustees of Dartmouth College v. Woodward. Chief Justice John Marshall's opinion in the Dartmouth College case contains a detailed history and affirmation of corporate personhood, and declares that corporate persons enjoy every right guaranteed in the Constitution.
Curtailment of the scope of the rights of associations as proposed in SAD would ultimately deprive all for-profit business corporations – but not labor unions, the Sierra Club, VPIRG, and other anti-business advocacy groups – of their constitutional right to speak out in support of their interests and views.
Finally, a footnote to the Left: had the 1974 spending limits been in force, anti-war Senator Eugene McCarthy could never have run for President in 1968. The "Saving American Democracy" petition ought to be renamed the "Trash the First Amendment" petition, and rejected.

As is common in our neck of the woods, and indeed many of Chicago's suburbs, our house has flooded in the past. But there are two kinds of floods. The first is a result of groundwater seeping in from over-saturated soils and drain tiles or overflowing sump pumps; let's call this the "good" kind of flood. The second is a result of an overwhelmed municipal sewer system that backs up through basement floor drains, showers or toilets; let's call that the sh*tty kind.
At least once upon a time, our mid-century house flooded. We know there was at least one big sh*tty flood after 1980, before the completion of Chicago's Deep Tunnel Project. Who knows if we'd experience a sewage back up again?
DH put it to me this way, "How much would you pay to guarantee you will never have to clean up someone's poop from our basement?"
Thinking it an unlikely scenario (I'm optimistic like that), I capped the amount at under $3,000. The husband capped it closer to $15K.
He won.
He does have a point.
And now we have a new overhead sewer system, plus a sump pit and an ejector pit in our basement.
Gone is the silvery old cracked sewer stack which leaked out just a teensy bit of poopy water (pictured above).
And now, after Day 1 of a 3-day install, we've got this snazzy 4-inch PVC running the length of our entire basement. Yes, it willsoon be filled with freshly flushed toilet water, so let's hope it doesn't leak!
See the remnant of our cracked old stack? It's going to get clipped off at floor level and sealed up.
Per code, the line exits the house four feet below grade, so it's really only overhead if you're the smallest person on Earth.
Of course, it's not a done deal until our new piping meets the city sewer lines. Yes, that used to be our front lawn. But what really kills me is this:
The plumber had to open a wall in my office to vent the new lines and DH did not tell them to put down cardboard or anything to protect my shiny new floor! #Ugh.
On a lighter side, we look pretty cool with this parked in our driveway.
Updated 10/16/11 to add. What do overhead sewers look like? See our YouTube video about them.

Although there are more than 93 million credit union members, only 40 million use a credit union as their primary financial institution. So is there any way to convince the remaining 53 million members to bank at a credit union for their day-to-day financial needs?
The preview from next week's print edition looks at Arizona Federal Credit Union's decision to charge monthly membership fees.
It's clear that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as Obamacare, is the law of the land. But it's not so clear yet how the new law will impact credit unions over the next two years when the bulk of the health reform laws go into effect.
Uncertainty reigns as Affordable Care Act begins two years of taking hold. This article is also in our Jan. 9 print edition.

The military funeral took place near Sderot close to the Gaza border as Israel increased security ahead of the event.
Mr Sharon, who was affectionately known as "Arik" among his loyalists, died on Saturday at the age of 85 after being in a coma for eight years following a stroke when he was still PM.
At a memorial service on Monday morning, Mr Sharon was described as a "military legend" who devoted his life to protecting his country's security.
The ceremony was held in parliament, known as the Knesset, in Jerusalem, which was attended by dignitaries including US Vice President Joe Biden and former British PM and Middle East Quartet envoy Tony Blair.
Israeli President Shimon Peres said: "Arik was a man of the land. He defended this land like a lion and he taught its children to swing a scythe.
"He was a military legend in his lifetime and then turned his gaze to the day Israel would dwell in safety, when our children would return to our borders and peace would grace the Promised Land."
Nicknamed 'The Bulldozer' in his early career, the veteran soldier fought in all of Israel's major wars before beginning a turbulent political career in 1973.
His supporters called him a war hero but his critics considered him a war criminal and held him responsible for years of bloodshed.
Mr Sharon, who was elected premier in 2001, spent most of his life battling Arab enemies and promoting Jewish settlements.
But in a surprising move, he led a historic withdrawal from the Gaza Strip in 2005, uprooting all soldiers and settlers from the territory after a 38-year presence in a move he said was necessary to ensure Israel's security.
Israel's current prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, who had resigned from Mr Sharon's government to protest at the Gaza withdrawal, called him "one of the big warriors" for the nation of Israel.
Mr Biden praised Mr Sharon's determination in carrying out the Gaza pullout.
He said: "The political courage it took, whether you agreed with him or not, when he told 10,000 Israelis to leave their homes in Gaza, in order from his perspective to strengthen Israel.
"I can't think of a more difficult and controversial decision he made. But he believed it and he did it. The security of his people was always Arik's unwavering mission."
And he talked about a decades-long friendship with Mr Sharon, saying the death felt "like a death in the family".
Mr Blair said: "He had the toughness of mind to despise all illusions about the threats facing Israel.
"But he had the imagination to know that genuine peace, if attainable with honour and dignity, both for Arabs and Israelis, is the anchor, ultimately, for Israel's security."
The funeral and burial took place at the family ranch in the Negev desert, six miles from the northern border of the Gaza Strip. Mr Sharon was laid to rest next to his second wife, Lily.
Israel had warned authorities in Gaza not to allow rocket fire during the service.
The Israeli army reportedly moved part of its Iron Dome aerial defence system to defend against possible rocket attacks.
Gaza is controlled by Hamas Islamists who have fought Israel several times over the past few years.

Reason for optimism
Yes Nat,
I would agree that toplessness is a local issue. The problem with what you have said, and may have overlooked, is that every issue that works its way through the court system begins at the lower court. All issues eventually decided by the Supreme Court begin at some local, district courthouse.
This is what sets precedence regarding an issue including toplessness and naturism, and the conservatism of the Rehnquist Court has seen a lessening of the protections of personal freedoms and such in favor of increased police powers at the local level and why it is so important for people to understand.

RPGs for Android devices?
View Single Post
August 29th, 2011, 16:05
Hi, there are several RPG-style games for Android devices, although many of them seem to be designed for small phone screens rather than tablets. Below is a list of some potentially interesting titles. I have not tried most of them, so I can't make any assurances about their actual quality or compatibility.
In addition to the list below, Ossian Studios may be interested in bringing their upcoming game
The Shadow Sun
to Android devices too in addition to iPod/iPhone/iPad. According to
a post by producer Alan Miranda
on their forums "Android definitely does sound like a good idea to us", however, there's no official announcement for Android yet, and their current priority is getting the game done for iOs.
Now here's the list; the links go to the entries of the games on Android Market. Many of the paid games have a free lite version available (sometimes I've linked to the free version). I've tried to classify the RPG titles based on the style of play, but that's mostly based on very brief looks at the screenshots and game description, so I may have misclassified some of the games. I may also have missed several games. Also, I've only looked on Android Market, there might be some RPGs available elsewhere.
Action RPGs:
Dink Smallwood HD
Zenonia 2
Zenonia 3
Inotia 3: Children of Carnia
Legends Arcana
Cyberlords - Arcology
Emissary of War
Dragon of the Three Kingdoms
(not sure how strong RPG elements it has, described as an "Action RPG (arcade beat'em up)")
Flailery RPG
Galaxy Hero
(described as a "top-scrolling shoot-em-up RPG hybrid"; does seem to have several RPG elements)
Across Age DX
(described as an RPG, not sure how strong the RPG elements are)
Also worth mentioning is
The Ur-Quan Masters
(an open-source version of the original commercial game Star Control II); it's debatable whether it can be called an RPG but it has some RPG elements.
RPGs with pauseable real-time tactical combat:
(Thanks for noticing this Motoki! Implementation for running Infinity Engine games like Baldur's Gate on Android devices.)
RPGs with turn based battles (Final Fantasy style or other turn based system):
Spectral Souls
Symphony of Eternity
Project Angel: The Resurrection of Atlantis
Wizards RPG 2
Cyber Knights RPG
Mardek RPG
Mardek RPG 2
Gurk, the 8-bit RPG
Gurk II, the 8-bit RPG
BladeQuest (demo)
Dungeon Wonders
Dungeon Scroll
Puzzle Wars
(looks somewhat similar to Puzzle Quest)
(battles based on memory matching)
Magic Tower: Save the Princess
(perhaps more a puzzle game than an RPG)
Infinite Tower RPG
(probably turn-based, not sure how far in development it is)
Acedia RPG
("inspired by old computer games like the Ultima series")
Totally Random Hero RPG
Eve of the Genesis HD
First-person RPGs (full 3D or Dungeon Master -style):
Realms of Fortune
Crusade of Destiny
Deadly Dungeons
Earth and Legend
Angband variants
Roguelike classics (Rogue, Moria, Larn)
NetHack tiles pack
NetHack Slash'EM
NetHack Slash'EM tiles pack
NetHack (different implementation than the above one)
Sigmore Mines 2
Voyage to Farland
Andor's Trail
Legends of Yore
Hydra Slayer
No Way But Down
Quest: Swords and Spells
Infinite Dungeon
Kamyran's Eye
We can beat GIANT MONSTERS ES
Gamebook (multiple-choice) style games, some of them might contain some RPG elements:
Choice of the Vampire
Choice of the Dragon
Choice of Broadsides
Choice of Romance
Choose Your Path Free
Alter Ego
Zombie Chronicles
Zombie Chronicles 2
Also, Tin Man Games, who make
several gamebook titles for iOs
, seem to be bringing their games to Android devices; in a recent post on
their blog
they wrote "Also to all Android phone and tablet users – we are coming to Android later this year – watch this space."
There are also several online RPGs, for example:
Order and Chaos Online
(looks similar to World of Warcraft)
Pocket Legends
Star Legends
Warspear Online
World of Dragons
The Mana World
Empire Online
(update Oct 9, 2011: seems to be no longer available)
Dragon Collector RPG
Elemental Knights Online
Aardwolf RPG
(text-based, multi-user dungeon "MUD", somewhat like an online roguelike)
BlowTorch MUD Client
(not a game, just a client for playing several MUD games)
(another MUD client)
Urban Dead for Android
(frontend for existing web-based zombie game, proof of concept)
TibiaME MMO
Faintless MMORPG
(in development, pre-alpha)
Explorer Heroes
Strategy games with RPG elements ("Tactical RPGs"):
Knighturn RPG
(seems to be a strategy game with some RPG elements)
Swords & Earrings
(seems to be a strategy game with some RPG elements)
Battle for Wesnoth
(Thanks for noticing this Arhu!)
Mage War
Free Heroes 2
(Thanks for noticing this Lucky Day! Implementation for running Heroes of Might and Magic II on Android devices; in progress. The Heroes of Might and Magic games are strategy games with some RPG elements.)
(Thanks for noticing this Lucky Day! Implementation for running Heroes of Might and Magic III on Android devices; in progress. The Heroes of Might and Magic games are strategy games with some RPG elements.)
Trading/strategy games with RPG elements (like Elite/Privateer):
Pirates and Traders: Gold!
Star Traders RPG Elite
(a "complex space simulation and turn-based Strategy role playing game", might be closer to Elite/Privateer style games than traditional RPGs)
Note that there are lots of massively multiplayer online games that are somewhat similar to the above genre, involving resource gathering/management and possibly some combat/strategy. They are sometimes named as RPGs, sometimes just massively multiplayer games without an RPG reference. I've listed some of these below:
Mafia Conflict
Zombies Live
Vampires Live
Kingdoms Live
Ninjas Live
Zombies RPG
Algadon Medieval Web Game
Phoenix Emperor
Project Galaxia
Dragon Life
Age of Legends
Dark Galaxy
Roman Empire
Crime Inc
Superheroes Alliance
The Streetz
Emross War
Universe War

X Factor's Stacey Solomon
She'll be the real winner
The humble surroundings of an east London pizza restaurant is about as far as you can get from the glitz of the X Factor studio, but that is where Stacey Solomon found herself this week, as she relaxed and reacquainted herself with her family after her 10-week stint on the nation's favourite talent show.
More than 12 million viewers watched the former King Solomon High School pupil crash out of last weekend's final, coming third behind eventual winner Joe McElderry and Olly Murs.
Three days on and she has recovered from the numbness she says she felt the moment her dream of winning the competition came to an end, and is facing up to the challenge of turning her X Factor popularity into a meaningful singing career. Most of all, she says, "I don't want to be forgotten."
Predictably perhaps, she has mixed feelings about the events of Saturday night. "As much as I was sad to hear my name called out, I was really proud of myself," she says.
"I never thought I'd come first, and I thought getting to the final was an amazing achievement. Every week I thought I was going out and was always surprised to go through. I felt a bit numb afterwards when I'd lost, but I knew it would happen one day."
Immediately after the show, she returned to the X Factor house in Golders Green where, she says, she "went to sleep straight away". Later, she returned to her home in Dagenham, which she shares with her mother Fiona and 20-month-old son, Zachary.
"Everyone was concentrating on Joe and Olly afterwards, so I just relaxed," she says. "Since then, I've been spending time with my family — we all went out together for pizza. It's really nice to be back. It's weird to wake up and hear Zachary call my name, but it's really lovely.
"Lots of people are coming up to me in the street and saying 'well done' and that they're proud of me."
The support from the Jewish community particularly moved her, she reveals. "I was so lucky that the X Factor house was in a Jewish area like Golders Green — everyone was so nice to me when they saw me. People would come up to me and say 'Happy Chanucah'. I'm so grateful for all that support."
She seems also grateful for the friendship she built with fellow contestant, Olly Murs, and her denial of a romance — "I'm not with Olly, unfortunately," she sighs, before quickly changing the subject — will do little to quash the tabloid rumours.
Solomon will not have much time to relax and catch up with her friends and family. In February, she will join the other finalists on the X Factor live tour for three months and, before that, she will be travelling around the UK to sing at various venues.
"I can't wait," she admits. "I think it will be really nice doing something without being judged or hearing Simon Cowell say that I'm rubbish."
She is well aware of the obscurity that has swallowed up previous X Factor contestants, but is determined to avoid sharing their fate. "I just want to carry on singing — I never want to stop. I'd love to do some live lounge singing because I think it's cool. I wouldn't say no to anything though. I want to do as much as I can and work as hard as I can to build up my status.
"I would love to interview or present. I love everything in the industry. You know when you feel you were born to do something, well, I feel I was born to do this. In a year's time I'd like to be singing somewhere like the V Festival. But I don't want to get too excited. Like everyone, I'm worried that I'll get forgotten. You start thinking: 'I haven't won — what's going to happen?' But I think if you work hard and want something bad enough you can do well. Good people get good things given to them."
She may well be right — if the opinion of some top entertainment industry experts are anything to go by this week. Almost unanimously, they feel the "Dagenham Diva" has what it takes to succeed in showbusiness.
"She's obviously funny and has got a very natural personality," says celebrity publicist, Max Clifford, who manages Simon Cowell. "It doesn't matter that she didn't win — neither did Susan Boyle or JLS. Unlike the other contestants who are just obvious musical talent, she's more than that. I could see her in musical comedy or on the West End stage, playing someone like Eliza Doolittle. She could present or interview people and be quite funny.
"The most important thing is she needs a manager and agent who understands her and has the contacts to maximise her potential. That will make the difference between 15 minutes of fame and a long career.
Steven Howard, of the TCB Group, is Susan Boyle's agent. He says: "I think people really liked Stacey's naturalness. It can be so hit and miss — sometimes the ones you think will make it, don't. I really think Stacey will be successful but it does depend on what her managers do."
According to Jon Smith, founder of First Artist sports and entertainment agency, Stacey "has to capitalise on what she's built. If I was her representative, I would want to bulldoze the media with her now and in the new year. She needs to be seen everywhere, going on every television show she can and getting into all the magazines. I would capitalise on her duet with Michael Bublé. He's got a concert series coming up and if she could get a guest spot there it would be great. She's got the ability to make people smile. It's nice to have someone Jewish out there because you don't often get a big-name singer. She's not the next Barbra Streisand but she could be very successful."
"The unique appeal of Stacey Solomon lies in her amazing transformation from shy Essex girl to superstar every time she starts to sing," says Colin Lester, head of CLM Entertainment which manages singer Craig David. "That fabulous voice contrasted with her somewhat goofy but utterly charming offstage personality is hugely compelling and is the key. She has that rare quality, the common touch, so bring her personality to the fore and that amazing voice will do the rest."

This tool provides the description and calculation of 14 ratios including a mix of balance sheet and income statement ratios.
This template serves as a sample of a Request for Proposal that your nonprofit may submit to a company for the preparation of yearly audited financial statements and related filings for a three year period
Balance Sheet Basics refreshes key terminology. Additionally, learn how the balance sheet works with your income statement and how to report restricted funds on your balance sheet.
The balance sheet has a lot of valuable information. Our Balance Sheet Cheat Sheet highlights six key measures that are useful for all types of nonprofits.
No matter how expertly you manage your budget, you can confidently project a surplus at the end of the year and still not have enough cash at some point during your fiscal year. That's because money doesn't always come in and go out smoothly from day to day or month to month. In order to weather the ups and downs properly it's important to project and plan your cash flow.
Understanding the ebbs and flows of your organization's cash will help you make smart management decisions that protect your core programs and overall sustainability. Use this template to manage cash flow at your organization.
This video explains cash and accrual accounting, two distinct accounting methods.
This resource provides 12 signs that your nonprofit will be financially healthy over the long term.
Your nonprofit work has certain knowable costs. Costs for staff, costs for property and equipment, costs for programs. Sound nonprofit finance means determining, accounting for and allocating those costs properly. It also helps in your fundraising efforts to know how much a program will truly cost your organization.
Learn more about how cost allocation helps you understand your true program costs with our e-study.
When a nonprofit organization owns a piece of equipment or property that they are going to use over a long period of time, they want to see that reflected in their financial information. Depreciation can be confusing, but the accounting concept is one we can all understand.
A nonprofit board is ultimately responsible for the financial health of the organization. To best fulfill that fiscal responsibility it is important to understand the organization's financial situation to make informed decisions and provide strategic leadership.
If the idea of creating a financial policy seems daunting, this basic guideline for policy development may be helpful.

This resource outlines the types of financial reports that are needed as well as how to present the information to the Board.
Whether you call it the rainy day fund, a nest egg, or your safety net, reserves are an important and sound nonprofit management principle. But, how much do you need in reserve? When and how do you use your reserves? We're here to clear things up for you a bit.
From time to time you'll have donations or grants that come with a few strings attached. These could be restrictions on how the money will be used or the time frame in which it can be used. It's important to know how these restrictions affect your budget, and how to manage these restricted funds.
Most nonprofit leaders agree we need a new way to communicate about the true costs of our programs and the vital importance of strong organizational infrastructure. But we have not yet developed a simple, consistent message when sharing our view with potential supporters and investors. We are stuck with old terms and old images. How we visualize our understanding of nonprofit structure and programs shapes the overhead debate.
This outline for a social enterprise business plan is a guide for research, planning, and writing a business plan for nonprofit social enterprises.
Learn the four core components of a nonprofit business model: revenue mix, understanding the cost of effective programs, infrastructure, and capital structure and how all of these components connect to mission and your organization's financial health.
This resource explains financial structure of nonprofits, broken down into four core components. These components: revenue mix, infrastructure and expenses, program cost, and capital structure, define the business model that creates value for the community and sustains the business entity.
This E-Study, developed with the Hubert Project at the Humphrey School of Public Affairs, guides you through learning about the real, true costs of delivering nonprofit programs. This knowledge is critical to help organizations make decisions about funding, contract terms or pricing, make the best use of unrestricted revenue and move toward sustainable finances.
The guide and accompanying spreadsheet template break down the process of understanding true program costs, either through budgeting or financial reports, into several stages.
Like businesses, nonprofit organizations sometimes need cash in the form of a loan to operate their programs effectively. Loans can be a tool that can help a nonprofit grow and succeed. This guide is designed to help nonprofits understand loans, uses for loans, and when loans make the most sense as a form of capital.

MORE: Rivals100 | Rivals250 | RCS Headquarters
The Rivals Camp Series Presented by Under Armour rolls into the Sunshine State this weekend with stops in the Orlando and Miami areas. Annually more than 100 high-level prospects come out of the state, so there's never any shortage of talent. That will be the case on Saturday when the RCS Orlando takes over Oviedo High School, alma mater of likely 2014 NFL first-round draft pick Blake Bortles. Here are the five biggest storylines for Saturday's camp.
1. Cowart vs. Jefferson
Article Continues Below
The Class of 2015 is loaded at the defensive line position and the state of Florida is home to two of the country's best. Five-star Seffner (Fla.) Armwood defensive end Byron Cowart and five-star Glen Saint Mary (Fla.) Baker County defensive tackle CeCe Jefferson headline the event. Both players currently sit in the top five for their class and both have a legitimate shot at overtaking Trenton Thompson for the No. 1 overall spot in the 2015 class.
A strong showing on Saturday could go a long way toward separating the two impressive prospects, who both had dominating junior seasons this past fall. Another interesting tidbit to add intrigue to the matchup is that the two players consider themselves friends, and have talked about playing together at the next level. A chance to spend an extended period of time together on Saturday could only further that bond and have a big recruiting impact down the line.
2. Will Ivey earn his fifth star?
While Cowart and Jefferson already sit at five-star status, one player right on the edge of earning his fifth star is Rivals100 Apopka (Fla.) offensive tackle Martez Ivey. The big-bodied Ivey led the way for one of the nation's most prolific rushing offenses this past fall and will have a great chance to answer the questions about his ability as a pass-blocker during drills on Saturday.
Ivey will be going toe-to-toe with names like Cowart and Jefferson and should have ample opportunity to show he has what it takes. Ivey and Cowart have waged some epic battles at camps in the past and Saturday should be no exception. If all goes according to plan, it will be the first of many times the two meet between now and National Signing Day, with plenty of marquee events and all-star events in the future for both elite prospects.
3. Can Holland hold off Pittman?
The linebacker position also offers plenty of intrigue with a pair of Rivals100 prospects itching to prove that they're the tops in the Sunshine State. Jacksonville Trinity Christian linebacker Jeffery Holland is currently No. 57 in the country, while fellow Jacksonville resident and First Coast High School prospect Sherrod Pittman sits five spots behind him at No. 62.
While Holland plays on the outside and is generally a more athletic prospect, Pittman will be looking to show what he can do in the open field. Holland has been known to take reps at multiple positions in camp settings, but Saturday figures to be his chance to put some distance between himself and Pittman as well as vault higher in the Rivals100.
4. Which unranked player will earn his stripes?
There are plenty of unranked players who have picked up offers since the last Rivals.com rankings release in February. While several wait for their rankings to be updated, they will have a chance to really help their stock with a strong showing over the weekend.
One of the players at the top of that list is Winter Garden (Fla.) West Orange running back Dexter Williams. He managed to fly under the radar this fall, but once coaches saw his junior film following Signing Day, the offers started rolling in. Williams is listed at 6-foot, 190 pounds and on film looks like an all-around threat. On Saturday, he'll be tested in one-on-ones when he goes up against the likes of Holland, Pittman and others. Other intriguing prospects include recent Florida commit, Jacksonville First Coast wide receiver Tristan Payton and Jacksonville Creekside wide receiver Rashad Blunt.
5. Which QB will take home the MVP?
The Sunshine State isn't generally known for producing top-flight quarterbacks, but the group taking part in Saturday's camp should provide some interesting options. The group is headlined by four-star Florida State commit De'Andre Johnson, who has been committed to the 'Noles for more than a year. Johnson isn't one to shy away from competition and will be looking to further separate himself from the pack.
Also in the fold is 2015 Orlando (Fla.) Olympia prospect Deondre Francois. The dual-threat quarterback ran one of Central Florida's most exciting offenses this past fall and is generally considered the best Orlanda-area quarterback, along with Lake Nona (Fla.) and Clemson commit Tucker Israel, who will also be in attendance. Carrying the flag for the underclassmen at the position are prospects Augie DeBiase and Feleipe Franks. Both are in the class of 2016 and already boast multiple BCS offers.

We agree with our pal Mark Clement that the 5-in-1 (or 6-in-1) is one of the most useful tools that a guy can own. When we're on a site, ours spends a lot of time in our back pocket and does duty as a scraper, a pry bar, a chisel, a blade, a little hammer, and whatever else we need done. We also like that it looks like a Klingon weapon.
So we just stumbled across the Hyde 10-in-1, which has apparently been out for a couple years, and adds some functionality to the fantastic little tool. The big trick of the new 10-in-1 is that it comes with four screwdriver bits that can click into the rear of the handle. You're probably reading this thinking, 'who cares, I'll just use my regular screwdriver." But to a painter doing prep, this could be a real time saver, especially for removing switch plates and outlet covers.
It looks like there is some kind of on-board bit storage that flips out of the handle. Otherwise it's the same old 5-in-1.
The 10-in-1 costs $6, which is strange because Hyde's 6-in-1 goes for $8-$10. Huh?

Soon, smart CCTV that knows when you need shopping advicePublished On: Sun, Oct 21st, 2012 | Computer Science | By BioNews
CCTV security cameras, which are a familiar fixture in shops, could soon be used to track and analyse your browsing habits as well.
Mirela Popa and colleagues at Delft University of Technology, Netherlands, are developing a software that can automatically categorise shoppers' behaviour using video footage from the fisheye cameras.
For example – the system can tell if customers appear to be confused, are looking around for a specific product, or are heading decisively towards a particular section.
When a customer seems in need of assistance, a member of staff can be directed to them.
According to Popa, who hopes the technology will lead to better customer service, the aim of the software is to help customers and increase retailers' profits.
"This could be extremely valuable in terms of how to judge when a customer needs help," New Scientist quoted Patrick O'Brien of retail analysts Verdict Research in London, UK, as saying.
"In a busy shop it's difficult to know who it would be most productive to help next," he said.
By installing additional cameras at eye level among shop displays, Popa's system can also build up a detailed picture of how shoppers interact with particular products, thereby providing instant feedback to retail analysts.
The technology is based on motion-detection algorithms that track people's movements and then learns patterns based on what it has observed.
This information can also be used to predict future customers' behaviour, Popa says.
The team conducted an early trial in a supermarket in Netherlands and, according to Popa, people have been positive so far.
"I think that life is changing," she said.
"You can't do anything about that," she added.
The findings of the study will be presented at the International Conference on Image Processing in Orlando, Florida, this month.

A MOTHER-OF-FOUR had a night to remember as a makeover project reached its glamorous conclusion last night.
As Phyllis Samuel descended the grand staircase at Rockliffe Hall Hotel, near Darlington, dressed in the best that money can buy, she was applauded by family, friends and representatives from 18 North-East businesses which had helped in her transformation.
The unique Dream Image North East project was more than three years in the making.
Loading article content
After being nominated by the public as a worthy candidate to undergo a free makeover worth thousands of pounds, the 52-year-old, from Stockon, attended countless private medical and dental appointments.
The competition was dreamt up by a group of entrepreneurs in the region who wanted to show that the North-East could equal anything on offer in London.
It resulted in a band of businesses, ranging from a cosmetic dentist and a plastic surgeon to a hairdresser and photographer, coming together to offer the right person a mega-makeover worth a small fortune.
Through The Northern Echo, the Dream Image North East team invited members of the public to nominate worthy candidates.
Mrs Samuel - who was nominated by her daughter, Rebecca, was shortlisted and went on to win the competition.
The judges were impressed at how she had overcome adversity - including being brought up in care homes and surviving two bouts of cancer - to successfully bring up three children on her own.
Mrs Samuel, who is also the full time carer for her mother and brother, said: "I cannot put into words what this means to me and I know this is a once-in-a-lifetime experience and I want to enjoy all of it."
Linda Heads, co-ordinator of Dream Image and wife of cosmetic dentist, Mike Heads, said the winner had shown "tremendous commitment" to the project.
She added: "She has had to attend numerous medical and dental appointments together with an exercise and healthy eating regime. All of this fitted around her very busy caring schedule at home."

Will Ferrell starred in a skit on Saturday Night Live 15 years ago in which he played a morning news host who
was struck dumb when the teleprompter died. Within moments, the cheery crew members of Wake Up and Smile! were reduced to sweaty, desperate wrecks as they were told to ad lib.
"You know, Diane, I had a notion," Ferrell's character says, looking around nervously and breathing heavily. "Someone should get a group together with guns to sweep out those ghettos."
Then they cut to commercial.
The scene was far less desperate on
the 10-hour NHL trade deadline showson Monday, which if nothing else shows that the giant in-studio teams of TSN and Sportsnet were better able to fill dead air than, say, the Wake Up and Smile team (which was eventually reduced to cannibalism). And that's a credit to the hockey crews, because there was a
lotof dead air.How slow was it? It took more than two and a half hours of live coverage before anyone could report a trade. When one finally happened, it took about 30 seconds to assess its impact: how much can you say about the Radek Dvorak-Niclas Bergfors blockbuster? (Though, Dave Hodge on TSN did manage to point out that "Bergfors" is like "Forsberg," but backwards. It's not technically backwards, of course, but give the man credit for trying.)
Half an hour after that, with more than three hours gone and just the one piddling trade on the books, TSN was comically piping in cricket noises. Twenty minutes after that, TSN host James Duthie was talking via Skype to colleague Jay Onrait, who was in his living room, wearing a robe, and plugging Duthie's book.
By a quarter past noon — more than four hours in, and a full hour longer than Sunday night's interminably dull Oscar broadcast — Duthie was starting to sound just a smidge nervous. "We'll take a short break," he said. "And hopefully get some more deals."
The competition between Canada's two sports networks means neither wants to cede ground on a day like deadline day, so you end up with a lot of time to kill, particularly on a day when so little occurs of substance.
Approaching five hours — and two trades — the TSN panel decided to give its picks for Team Canada. At the Olympics, three years from now. Mercifully, they didn't waste effort actually debating any of the selections, perhaps aware that would have taken the bit from "kind of silly" to "plainly ridiculous."
The gamest performances came from Darren Dutchyshen and Darren Pang on TSN, who hosted a segment called "Players in Play." They would periodically review the list of 20 players who were considered possible trade bait, and let's just say the list remained rather stagnant. Here's the list again: everyone's still on it. Eventually, the pair switched to a new list: "Useful Bottom 6 Forwards."
Dutchyshen was skeptical about Rob Niedermayer's inclusion on it, noting that he has scored zero goals for Buffalo this year. Pang responded that the team that picked him up would get a player who can "protect the puck, extend the shift, keep it down low, not make many mistakes," and someone who would "maintain momentum." Also, Pang noted: "He's been there before."
So, broadcaster forced to kill time resorts to clichés. As the Wake Up and Smile! show suggests, it could have been worse.

When the head coach of the No. 6 team in college basketball (Mike Krzyzewski at Duke) and the head coach of the No. 1 team (Tom Izzo at Michigan State) get together, you assume they'll talk about the powerhouses they've built at their respective schools. Coach K and Izzo did plenty of that on this week's Basketball and Beyond, but the two also talked about the one opposing player they think deserves more recognition.
"There's been a lot of really good basketball being played," Krzyzewski said. "But the performance of Oklahoma State Tuesday night against Memphis was spectacular."
"One of the best players in the country is Marcus Smart from Oklahoma State," Coach K said of the sophomore guard. "He's a guy that was a captain of our U-19 World Championship team this past summer, and he was one of two collegiate players that we invited to our NBA training camp for USA Basketball."
Smart scored 39 points for No. 7 Oklahoma State in a 101-80 win over No. 11 Memphis on Tuesday night.
With the current one-and-done rules in college basketball, Smart was able to choose between leaving Oklahoma State and entering the NBA draft or staying in college last April. Izzo praised Smart's decision to stay, and talked about why his decision should not be out of the ordinary.
"I think it should be the kids' choice and all that," Izzo told Krzyzewski, "but we shouldn't look down on somebody that decides to stay. That's a great thing for them to mature and it shouldn't be a negative, and sometimes I think we make it that way."
Across Duke's campus, David Cutcliffe has led the football program to an 8-2 record this season, including two consecutive wins over ranked opponents. The Blue Devils are ranked 25th in the AP poll this week, their first national ranking since 1994.
Krzyzewski asked Cutcliffe how he's built his team since he took over as head coach in 2008.
There are a lot of philosophies on how to build a football team or a baseball team or a basketball team. But the one constant in any sport is the ability to run. If you can't run, you can't play. You can be big, you can be strong, but if you can't run you still can't play. We have focused on that. We also, in our sport, if a guy really doesn't like contact, if that shows up on tape we drop him. You can't play the game … that includes the quarterback. If you've got a quarterback concerning himself with contact, you've got an average quarterback at best regardless of his other gifts.
Duke football heads into the final two games of the regular season in control of their bowl destiny. Cutcliffe talked to Krzyzewski about how he's handling practices this week.
I'm using their energy to make practice that much more intense. It's November and in football you've got to back off a little bit of the amount of time. It's been a long, grueling, physical season. But when you've got things going your way, everything we do is focused on how great we can prepare. The last two days it has been intense on the practice field. It's what I call 'zoom focus' – to me, when you've got a bunch of people that are committed and intense, you create more 'zoom focus' on the task at hand.
Coach K takes to the airwaves Thursdays at 6 pm ET throughout the college basketball season on SiriusXM College Sports Nation. Basketball and Beyond with Coach K, co-hosted by Dave Sims, is in its ninth season, and is available live on Ch. 91, on the SiriusXM app and on SiriusXM On Demand.

I unfortunately have 26 of my friends registered with this site and have two accounts myself. They have always been very good and helpful...until now.
I have purchased an unlock for my 4s on 35 days ago. Emailed them two weeks ago and was told that it takes up to 28 days. I rechecked after 30 days to find my member screen said that my IMEI was awaiting submission to the unlock server, very surprised by this I emailed again but this time had no response. I have just phoned them after rechecking today, day 35 to find the message now says, IMEI Submitted.
Surprised at this I phoned to ask whether it had just been submitted and whether I would now have another 28 days to wait, only to be told by DAN, that if I didn't like it I could have my money back and they would cancel the request. Fantastic customer support, as a Parts and Service Director for the a mayor Automtive brand in the Middle East, I'm glad none of my dealers have this attitude else we could all find ourselves out of work.
I will not be letting this drop, atleast for a few weeks, which as I am aware in the Service industries can seem like forever when making sure every website one can find has this same message on it.

Jody here the Managing Director. I am struggling to find something to write to comment on here. We are having trouble issuing the a software unlock for the 4S (which is required for handsets on networks such as AT&T). We have offered you a full refund as we have been unable to deliver, what would you have preferred instead of this?

Medicines can help manage the severity and frequency of acne outbreaks. A number of medicines are available. Your treatment will depend on the type of acne you have (pimples, whiteheads, blackheads, or cystic lesions). These medicines improve acne by:
- Unplugging skin pores and stopping them from getting plugged with oil (tretinoin, which is sold as Retin-A).
- Killing bacteria (antibiotics).
- Reducing the amount of skin oil (isotretinoin).
- Reducing the effects of hormones in producing acne (certain oral contraceptive pills for women).
The best medical treatment for acne often is a combination of medicines. These could include medicine that you put on your skin (topical) and medicine that you take by mouth (oral). Or you may take medicines such as clindamycin/benzoyl peroxide, a gel that contains two topical medicines.
Medication choices
Treatment of acne depends on whether inflammation or bacteria are present. Some acne consists only of red bumps on the skin with no open sores (comedonal acne). Topical creams and lotions work best for this type of acne. But if bacteria or inflammation is present with open sores, oral antibiotics or isotretinoin may work better.
The most common types of medicines that doctors use to treat acne include:
- Benzoyl peroxide, such as Brevoxyl or Triaz.
- Salicylic acid, such as Propa pH or Stridex.
- Topical and oral antibiotics, such as clindamycin, doxycycline, erythromycin, and tetracycline.
- Topical retinoid medicines, such as tretinoin (Retin-A), adapalene (Differin), and tazarotene (Tazorac).
- Azelaic acid, such as Azelex, a topical cream.
- Isotretinoin, an oral retinoid.
- Low-dose birth control pills that contain estrogen (such as Estrostep, Ortho Tri-Cyclen, or Yaz), which work well on moderate acne in women and for premenstrual flare-ups.
- Androgen blockers, such as spironolactone. Androgen blockers can be useful in treating acne. These medicines decrease the amount of sebum (oil) made in your pores.
What to think about
If you are pregnant, talk to your doctor about whether you should take antibiotics for acne. Some antibiotics aren't safe to take during pregnancy.
Over time, bacteria can become resistant to antibiotics, which means that the antibiotics are no longer effective at killing or controlling the bacteria causing the acne. This is called drug resistance. When this occurs, a different antibiotic may be used.
After acne is under control, you often need ongoing treatment to keep it from returning. This is the maintenance phase of treatment. Your doctor may suggest treatments other than antibiotics for long-term use, to avoid the risk of drug resistance.
Topical medicines usually have fewer and less serious side effects than oral medicines. But topical medicines may not work as well as oral medicines for severe acne.
Isotretinoin (such as Sotret) and tazarotene (Tazorac) can have serious side effects. Women who take isotretinoin or tazarotene need to use an effective birth control method, to avoid having a baby with serious birth defects.

Tom Winter learned earlier this month that he would not take home one of three wheelchair-accessible vans given away in a national contest, but he still feels like a winner.
"It blows your mind when you realize there's so many people out there behind you," the Escondido High School teacher said Friday. "'Humbled' would be the best word you can use for it."
Winter, 41, has multiple sclerosis and had hoped to win a van he could use to bring his electric wheelchair to school.
The three wheelchair-accessible vans given away by the National Mobility Equipment Dealers Association were valued at about $40,000 each.
While he didn't win, he did get about 15,200 votes from supporters in the online contest.
"The first day, when we had 259 votes, I was thinking, 'That's awesome. This is great,'" he said. "Then it was 1,000 a day."
Winter said his vote total increased after an article about him appeared in the North County Times in April, when he already was second in the state.
When all the votes were tallied, he still was second in the state, although significantly behind the top contestant, who had 51,000 votes.
Still, Winter's tally was in the top 10 percent of more than 1,700 people in the contest. A panel then selected three winners from the 170-some finalists.
"The three people who won were definitely deserving," Winter said. "I would have hated to be on the board trying to decide."
The winners were Alberto Cruz of Connecticut, Ken Davert of Michigan and Ron Miner of Illinois.
Cruz, 15, was paralyzed from the neck down in a surfing accident. Davert has cerebral palsy, and his wife and two children have osteogenesis imperfecta, a brittle bone condition.
Miner is a disabled Army veteran who had been depressed and gained weight after his injury, but rebounded to become the Wheelchair Bodybuilding World Champion and winner of numerous gold medals at the National Veterans Wheelchair Games.
Winter, a 1989 graduate of San Pasqual High who has taught for 17 years at Escondido High, said he began to hear from people from his past after his story appeared in the paper.
"My fourth-grade teacher, Melvina Ruggles, from Felicita Elementary School wrote me a letter and said, 'I just read an article in the paper about a teacher who has MS. Is this the same Tommy Winter?'"
Winter was moved when he saw the second page of his old teacher's letter, which had a picture of a Christmas coffee mug he had made with his grandfather and given to her as a gift in 1980.
"I don't even remember making it, and she still has it," he said. "She said, 'I use it every year when I have my cookies and hot chocolate during Christmas.'"
Winter contacted his old teacher after receiving her letter.
"I told her, 'The reason I'm a good teacher is I had teachers like you when growing up, and this is evidence of that,'" he said. "'That you'd keep a mug 32 years."
Winter, who still is in the market for a van, had used a Segway to get around on campus until about March, when he switched to an electric wheelchair because he was having problems balancing.
He has a borrowed electric wheelchair he uses at school, but he would like to have a van to bring the more advanced one he uses at home to campus.

The topic of the latest presidential campaigns was running in every news headline in our television sets and print media. People held discussions on the presidential candidate of their choice. In this year's election, children engaged their parents more on the campaigns than in the previous years. Therefore, they all had a candidate of their choice who they expected to win. Most parents who supported a Hillary Clinton candidature experienced a hard time trying to explain to their kids about the election results. The following is a guideline on how to talk to your children about the results
- Take your time and collect your feelings
Children look up to their parents on how to behave in any given situation. It is important to deal with your feelings, especially anger and frustration, before talking to your children. This prevents the possibility of major emotional outbursts or anything that would render the results catastrophic. Remind them that we have had different presidents with different values, principles, and style of governance.
- Explain to the kids the important aspect of democracy.
If the kids are old enough, help them understand that people hold different beliefs on various issues. Remind them that the nation is a system with citizens who do not agree on all matters. Remember to explain to them the electoral process in the country. Providing them with this information gives a better understanding of how one candidate won and the other lost. For the younger ones, remind them that it is not right to call anyone nasty.
- Teach the children the art of winning and losing gracefully
Parents should inform their kids that in every competition, there are winners and losers. Therefore, the winning party should be sensitive to the feelings and the disappointment of the other party. Get your children involved in spreading the love and kindness message among their peers and schoolmate
- Give them hope of the future.
Give them hope for a better future. If they are young girls who hoped for the first female president, remind them that the fight is not over. Read them stories that reinforce your values and beliefs. However, do not make unnecessary jokes or promises, for example, a joke to move to another country or state.

"Ideas for the Education Republic" competition
The nationwide "Ideas for the Education Republic" competition recognises projects and initiatives which help promote equal education for children and young adults. The "education ideas" are selected by an expert jury and awarded prizes at an individual prize-giving ceremony. Patron of the competition is Germany's Federal Minister of Education and Research Johanna Wanka.
An award-winning "education idea" meets the following criteria:
- Equal education: An education idea promotes equal education for children and young adults locally.
- Partnership and close networking: An education idea networks various players from the youth-work industry, social funding organisations, associations, initiatives, institutions, schools and universities.
- Role model: An education idea acts as a role model to spark discussions on new approaches within the Education Republic and to encourage people to follow its lead.
- Sustainability: An education idea is distinguished by continuous commitment to achieving more opportunities for education in Germany.
Working together for more education opportunities
The aim of the "Ideas for the Education Republic" competition is to increase the visibility of the work put in by the many people in Germany who, through great dedication, create more education opportunities for children and young adults.
The competition seeks to recognise outstanding commitment in the field of education, as well as to highlight exemplary projects and encourage these to be emulated. The competition is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, in co-operation with the Vodafone Foundation, Germany.
Under the motto of "Working together for more education opportunities", we look for initiatives, institutions and associations which network with one another. Because equal education is promoted wherever parents, teachers, youth workers and social workers come together. Children and young adults have better opportunities for education when schools, churches, associations and local economy work together.
Since August 2011, we have been recognising outstanding education ideas selected by an expert jury. These ideas are to act as role models within education, and encourage people to follow their lead.
The competition is part of the "Education Alliance" established by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research on 22 February 2011. The aim of the alliance is to bring together government, private and civil society organisations in Germany to support children and young adults in all stages of their education.
