8 Tips to Design a Charity Website A lot of charities rely on voluntary funding. This funding is carefully distributed and there are often more important things ahead of a generous budget for the website. So how does a charity get the most out of its website? In this article, we look at 8 principles that you should follow when creating a charity website. What makes a good charity website? 1. A quick tagline to sum up what the charity (or charitable event) is about. 2. Let your users know what you do with their money once they sponsor. 3. Help users identify and visualize the people they’ll be helping. 4. The donate button is most likely the most important asset of a charity website so it should be prominent and obvious. 5.

Sponsors will want you to keep in touch as they now have a vested interested, so make sure they can. 8. Showcase of excellent charity websites The Worldwide Blogger Bake Off
Tim Patrick's Web Site America is a uniquely blessed nation. In terms of natural resources, cultural diversity, and basic liberty, the United States has experienced a short yet rich life unparalleled by any other country throughout history. Many citizens see these blessings as something to share with other peoples, making real the “City on a Hill” first mentioned in 1630 by Puritan John Winthrop, one of the earliest orators to comment on America’s influential role. Unfortunately, there are American citizens who have a difficult time seeing these blessings, and others who, though they may recognize them, are unable to articulate why it is that we find ourselves with such benefits. To address these groups, political commentator Dennis Prager penned Still the Best Hope: Why the World Needs American Values to Triumph. The majority of the book contrasts the American value system with its two modern competitors: Leftism and Islamism.
Archetype The concept of an archetype /ˈɑrkɪtaɪp/ is found in areas relating to behavior, modern psychological theory, and literary analysis. An archetype can be…: …a statement, pattern of behavior, or prototype which other statements, patterns of behavior, and objects copy or emulate; ……a Platonic philosophical idea referring to pure forms which embody the fundamental characteristics of a thing; ……a collectively-inherited unconscious idea, pattern of thought, image, etc., that is universally present in individual psyches, as in Jungian psychology; ……or a constantly recurring symbol or motif in literature, painting, or mythology (this usage of the term draws from both comparative anthropology and Jungian archetypal theory). Etymology[edit] Plato[edit] The origins of the archetypal hypothesis date back as far as Plato. Jungian archetypes[edit] Archetypal literary criticism[edit] See also[edit] References[edit] Jump up ^ Douglas Harper.
Even more than the other Idealists,Teachers have a natural talent for leading students or trainees toward learning, or as Idealists like to think of it, they are capable of calling forth each learner's potentials. Teachers (around two percent of the population) are able - effortlessly, it seems, and almost endlessly-to dream up fascinating learning activities for their students to engage in. In some Teachers, this ability to fire the imagination can amount to a kind of genius which other types find hard to emulate. But perhaps their greatest strength lies in their belief in their students. Teachers look for the best in their students, and communicate clearly that each one has untold potential, and this confidence can inspire their students to grow and develop more than they ever thought possible. In whatever field they choose, Teachers consider people their highest priority, and they instinctively communicate personal concern and a willingness to become involved.
A good and stable relationship between partners is conducive to a happy marriage, and we often don't know what the underlying cause of our conflicts is. The ability to assess the likelihood of a healthy long term relationship is one of the main challenges in dating and matchmaking. Jung Marriage Test™ addresses this challenge.

Design elements and principles Design elements and principles describe fundamental ideas about the practice of good visual design. As William Lidwell stated in Universal Principles of Design: The best designers sometimes disregard the principles of design. When they do so, however, there is usually some compensating merit attained at the cost of the violation. Unless you are certain of doing as well, it is best to abide by the principles.[1] Principles of design[edit] Principles applied to the elements of design that bring them together into one design. Unity/Harmony[edit] According to Jose Contreras, author of The Elements of Graphic Design, to achieve visual unity is a main goal of graphic design. Methods[edit] Balance[edit] It is a state of equalized tension and equilibrium, which may not always be calm. [3] Types[edit] The top image has symmetrical balance and the bottom image has asymmetrical balance Hierarchy[edit] A good design contains elements that lead the reader through each element in order of its significance.

The stories are engaging and conversational, but have a precise sound design that is multilayered and tightly edited. They’re produced to stand up to multiple listens and reveal more each time they’re heard. The ultimate goal of 99% Invisible is to make radio that inspires mindfulness and wonder in all the things in the built world. 99% Invisible is an independent radio program created by Roman Mars and produced at home, usually at night, on a shoestring budget. Update: The 5000 Backer Challenge Help 99% Invisible get a $10,000 grant from the Design Matters Institute! After we left the money goal in the dust in 24 hours (surprising everyone, especially me), I devised a new goal for the Kickstarter campaign: 5000 backers. If we do this, I guarantee that independent public media will never be the same. Sample Episode: Rewards Notebooks
Mindfulness for Dummies, by Shamash Aladina If I could put a book in a drawer in every hotel room across America, across the world, it would be Mindfulness for Dummies by Shamash Alidina. Alidina’s website describes him the following way: “He has taught mindfulness in a secular way for over a decade to adults, and has taught eastern philosophy, physics and mindfulness in a progressive childrens’ school for 8 years.” As an experienced practitioner I was worried I wouldn’t find much new here. Alidina seems to cover all the important bases with complex and yet simple bullet points of the Dummies series style of writing. This book also comes with a CD, which includes a range of short mindful meditation introductions. Like it? Read other articles on: Related articles
