Google Announces New Service for Nonprofits Google has announced a new program for nonprofits, which they say will include a grant for adwords, exclusive tools, and collaboration forums. "Instead of applying to each Google product individually," nonprofits can apply for a suite of tools here, according to Google's blog post. The user-friendly site, Google.com/nonprofits, looks like it aims to simplify and educate how nonprofits can use the wide array of google products for their organization (like this video below). For now, it wasn't immediately obvious what new or "exclusive" tools will be offered to nonprofits, how google would determine the grant size for adwords, or who is (and is not) qualified. *update: Google has responded to our inquires. "-a marketplace of Certified Google Partners (in Adwords, Apps, Analytics, Website Optimizer, Geo and more) that have offered to help nonprofits optimize Google tools at a special discounted rate or pro-bono -up to $10,000 a month in advertising on Google AdWords to reach more donors
Online Giving, One Person at a Time “This cracks the code for how you get regular people, not the superwealthy, to give money,” Mr. Green said. “It works because your birthday is a time when it’s acceptable to ask for something, and your friends want to give you something.” Each friend might give a small donation—$10 or $20 or so—but together, each wish might generate hundreds or thousands of dollars. Causes is just one method for nonprofits to press for more action from their audiences. Some people may not be ready to donate money immediately, but what if you can coerce them to do something else on behalf of your organization? The jury may still be out on which campaigns will work to get this kind of response and which won’t. So far, some of them may not have done anything other than express tepid support.

Shows The Ultimate 8-Week HIIT-For-Fat-Burning Program Vital Stats Name: Jim Stoppani, PhD Occupation: Creator of JYM Supplement Science, fitness coach and consultant Website: www.jimstoppani.com/ As far as cardio training goes, high-intensity interval training, aka HIIT, has been exactly that among serious fitness enthusiasts—a big "hit." HIIT has nothing to do with becoming a Mafia assassin, although your body fat may feel like you finally have it in the crosshairs. This form of cardio intersperses intervals of high-intensity exercise (such as sprinting) with intervals of either low-intensity exercise (such as walking at a slow pace) or complete rest. With HIIT, you'll be running (or cycling or whatever) like a bat out of hell for brief stretches, but the net effect when all's said and done is better results in less time. HIIT was developed decades ago by track coaches to better prepare runners. "HIIT training has nothing to do with becoming a mafia assassin" Growing Body of Evidence The research has continued along the same lines: Dr. Go Now!

Herramientas Erre mais rápido, mais alto, mais forte O lema olímpico é fantástico em todos os sentidos, até mesmo na gestão de um negócio. Lembram dele? Citius, Altius, Fortius (O mais rápido, o mais alto, o mais forte) No entanto, não quero falar aqui da analogia óbvia de competitividade de mercado, mas da necessidade de uma empresa errar para conseguir vencer.
