6 Smart Ways To Raise Fund For Your NGO Posted: 10 Oct 2013 02:45 AM PDT NGOs will need funds for their projects and programs to be successful. Often raising fund is going to be an uphill task for the NGO, as there is high competition with new NGOs cropping up every now and then. People love their money and there is no way that they are going to donate to an organization without some resistance. Successful NGOs have a fundraising strategy through which they train their members to raise funds in a strategic manner by effectively overcoming the hurdles in their path. Below is the list of 6 smart ways to raise fund for your NGO. 6. Donation Boxes: Install donation boxes in places where people will have time to look at them and know what cause they serve. Drop boxes can be installed for people who would like to donate through material things rather than cash. Though the money donated by every individual could be a small amount, it goes a long way in adding to the treasury finally. 5. Organize a fund raising event: Organizing fundraising events where you invite guests and request donations for your organization is not easy as it looks. For the event to be successful you will have to check out the demographics of the target group and know how passionate they feel about your cause. You should be able to appeal to them in a convincing manner. Keep in mind the location, cost of organizing the event and duration of the event during the planning process. Check out whether there are going to be any legal issues regarding the event. Gather information regarding past successful events so that you can learn from them. 4. Motivate Volunteers: No NGO can be successful without enthusiastic volunteers working for it. Volunteers are considered to the lifeblood of NGOs as they are the people who work passionately for the cause. Volunteers can save the salary the organization has to pay to an employee, thus contributing to the funds indirectly. They can work for raising funds in their own circles where they are trusted to directly contribute to the NGO as well. Recognize the efforts of the volunteers and appreciate them time to time to keep them motivated. Share your success with them; moreover make sure they understand how much their contribution has meant for the success. 3. Get under the spotlight: To donate for a cause, people need to know about the cause in the first place. Spread the word about your organization and let them know about your goals. Do not hesitate to participate in competitions and nominate your NGO for an award, because that will give you the much needed publicity. An award winning NGO will convince sponsors and donators about the success of the cause. Do not shy away from local radio, newspapers or cable networks that have dedicated time for community events. Take advantage of the social media which has a strong presence among the today's population.  Prepare pamphlets, brochures, posters, and interpretive books that can briefly describe the cause and goals of your organization and hand them over to people who can be impacted with the cause. 2. Be Organized and Transparent: Establish a strong and permanent presence of your NGO in the society. Register your organization as a nonprofit group following proper procedures. Keep statistical record of your achievements, because sponsors unlike volunteers demand to see where you stand. Have your website where people can access information about your NGO, dates of events, statistical record and success of your organization.  The contact person of the NGO will make a huge difference to the organization because he/she will be leaving the first impression on people who approach you. Appoint only people who have thorough knowledge about the NGO and its goal, has good people skills and is passionate about its success. Have an advisory board to overlook the functioning of the organization and manage the funds appropriately. Transparency in the management of funds will earn the trust of people thus encouraging them to donate towards your cause. 1. Let your actions speak: Nothing speaks better than the results you have achieved through hard work for your NGO. Once your work makes an impact, the grants and funds will come seeking you. Evaluate and monitor your NGO, so that you can bring out maximum benefits for the cause. There have been cases of many single individuals who have started working on a cause with dedication initially all alone, but later went on to grow into full fledged organizations making impact not just nationally but also internationally. Don't just say you care but demonstrate it through your conscientious actions. Be ready to face the consequences and bear responsibilities for your action.  Your creditability will make you eligible to have access to government grants as well as national and international funds of various humanitarian organizations.

5 Easiest Ways To Learn The Periodic Table Quickly Posted: 10 Oct 2013 01:54 AM PDT The periodic table is the mortal enemy of every school kid; unless you are some kind of a whiz kid memory genius. But still every kid has to attempt learning it to some extent. As kids it is not enough to understand the importance of the periodic table in order to be able to learn it with ease. It is a struggle for most kids no matter how hard they try. Luckily there are certain techniques that can make it much easier to learn the complete periodic table. By using these techniques and tips you can quickly learn the periodic table and once you learn it you’ll never forget it. You’ll be able to every element of the periodic table whenever you need it. So here are the 5 easiest ways to learn the periodic table quickly. 5. Copy it Again and Again: This is an old method and maybe you won’t like it but there’s a reason why it is still used. It has been tried and tested by millions of people to memorize complex things. The idea is to copy the periodic table on a sheet of paper with a pen. Draw the table and copy each element’s name, symbol and atomic weight. Do it again and again till you start remembering where some of the elements go. It is hard work no doubt but the results are great as you may never forget an element ever again. 4. Use Visual Cues and Associations: If you don’t like the old tried and tested method then you can go for the modern techniques of memorization. This technique involves using visual cues and making associations in your mind to remember things. Start with choosing any object in your house, let it be associated with an element that you find hard to memorize. Visualize that object as that element. It doesn’t even have to be something meaningful. You just have to create a visual memory that relates a certain object with a certain element. Then next time you want to recall that element you just go to the object that you have chosen. As soon as you remember that object, you’ll also remember all information about that element. 3. Make Categories: Another way of remembering the periodic table is to break it down into different categories. Make separate lists according to the categories. For example in one category you can put all the elements that have single letter for their symbols. In another you can put all the elements that have a symbol that is not a short form of its name like Gold, Au. Another list can be of all the elements that are most commonly used by us. Make a list of all the elements that are very rare and precious. In such way you end up with a few short lists of separate elements. It is easy to remember these short lists. If an element ends up in two lists it will be that much easier to remember it. Once you remember all the elements and their symbols you can start learning the order in which they fill up the periodic table and this time you’ll find it much easier. 2. Make Up Funny Sentences: One way that most students seem to use is to make up sentences from the letters of the symbols of the elements. These sentences don’t have to make sense as long as they are funny or rhyme so that you can easily remember them. For example you can learn the whole of the 2nd row of the periodic table by remembering the sentence; Little Bella Butt Can Not Open For Neal. Making such funny sentences for each row will help you quickly memorize the complete periodic table. Instead of copying someone else’s sentences make up your own so that you can remember them easily. It is also a lot of fun to come up with such sentences. 1. Learn the Periodic Table Song: If all else fails there is a simple way to learn the periodic table. It is by learning the periodic table song. There are many renditions of this song available on the internet. You might remember that Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliff can recite the complete periodic table song by heart. You’ll find it is much easier a lot more fun to remember the lyrics of a song even if they don’t make much sense. People remember song lyrics of languages they don’t even speak. You too can learn the periodic table in this way. Just remember to not start singing the song out loud while trying to remember an element during the exams!

Top 10 Cases Of Solar Explosion Posted: 10 Oct 2013 01:49 AM PDT The sun is not just a giant ball of fire that keeps burning quietly. The sun is very active and there is a lot going on, on the surface and under the surface of sun. Every now and then there are explosions on the surface of the sun also known as solar flares. These explosions send clouds of electrons, ions and atoms through the corona of the sun into space. Electromagnetic radiation in all wavelengths, from radio waves to gamma rays, is produced during solar explosions. These radiations constitute what is called a solar storm. The shock waves can be felt as changes in the speed of the solar wind. There have been many cases of solar explosion but a few were more noteworthy than others. Like… 10. The Transit of Venus Storm: This storm occurred on 18 November 1882. All telegraphic transactions in Eastern North America came to a halt and the Chicago market was severely affected all day. A large sun spot was seen and the magnets showed deflection of 2 degrees. Telegraphic and electric cables were all affected whether they were above or under ground. The New York Times called it ‘the storm of the century’. 9. The Fatima Storm: On 25 January 1938 solar explosions resulted in magnificent auroras seen all over Europe and North America. It was called the Fatima storm because the Roman Catholics believed it was part of the Fatima Prophecies. All over Europe and America people thought that there was a great fire in the distance and called fire brigades. 8. The Playoffs Storm: The 18 September 1941 solar flare caused problems with telegraphic communications. It caused radio problems and a radio station broadcasting the Brooklyn Dodgers Vs Pittsburg Pirates game went offline for 15 minutes during which time the Pirates went from 0-0 to 4-0. The auroras were seen in Europe as well and news stories talked about auroras helping R.A.F bombers in their air raid over Nazi Germany. 7. The Acheron Submarine Storm: On February 1956, the British submarine Acheron lost contact with base due to solar flares and was thought to have gone missing. It caused major confusion and panic and rescue missions were started. The submarine came back in contact after 4 hours. No other major disruptions were felt except a few TV channel signals getting mixed up. A slight aurora was visible in Alaska. 6. The Space Age Storm: In 1972 a series of solar flares were observed and for the first time the shock waves were felt by the Pioneer 9 spacecraft. On 2 august 3 solar flares of high intensity occurred within 15 hours. When the spacecraft felt the shock wave it also recorded a change in the solar wind speed and scientists were able to predict a solar storm for the first time. 5. The Quebec Blackout Storm: On 13 March 1989 massive solar flares in the Active Region 5395 of the sun caused complete blackout in Quebec. The solar storm caused surges of electric current in the cables that the capacitors in the system were not able to handle and the whole grid collapsed. It affected over 6 million people as everything from office, homes and traffic lights were affected. 4. The Halloween Storm: On 29 October 2003, a massive storm reached earth just 19 hours after the solar explosion and caused a lot of damage including the loss of the $450 million Midori-2 research satellite. It was the fastest storm recorded since the 1859 super storm which only took 17 hours to reach earth. Astronauts of the International Space Station hid deep within the station but still reported radiation effects. 3. The Second Largest Recorded Flare: The second largest recorded solar flare occurred on 2 April 2001. It was classified as X20 on the X-ray radiation scale and was the largest recorded flare at that time. It was larger than the Quebec blackout flare but did not cause that kind of problems because the flare was not directed towards the earth. The coronal mass ejection speed was recorded at roughly 7.2 million km/h. 2. The Largest Recorded Flare: A few days after the Halloween flare of 2003, the largest solar flare every recorded occurred on 4 November. This flare was so large that it saturated the X-ray detectors of the NOAA’s GOES satellite. Initially it was estimated to be around the X28 mark but others have speculated that it could have been of much higher intensity. The ejection speed of the coronal mass was 2300 km/h. 1. Carrington Event: The most powerful flare every observed is also the first solar flare to have been observed. This event named after Richard Carrington who reported the event occurred on 1 September 1859. Since it was the first solar flare to have been observed we didn’t have the technology to record it but it remains as the largest flare every observed. It was so large that it was visible to the naked eye, which is usually not the case. The aurora was seen down to the tropical latitudes of Cuba and Hawaii. Telegraph systems caught fire. The flare left a trace in the Greenland ice sheet in the form of nitrates and beryllium-10. The post Top 10 Cases Of Solar Explosion appeared first on TopYaps.
