Measuring Social Impact: 3 Things Nonprofits Should Remember

Measuring Social Impact: 3 Things Nonprofits Should Remember

Nonprofit work never ends. There are always other causes that need your attention, more people that could benefit from your support.

Instead of looking at charitable work as an uphill effort, make time along the way to measure the social impact of your efforts.

Pausing to evaluate your social impact isn’t just valuable because it gives you and your team a chance to breathe and congratulate yourselves on successful projects — you should also use these moments to adjust your long-term fundraising efforts.

If you can tie a specific action you took to a direct positive outcome, you can repeat that outcome in the future! But you won’t know how unless you have the right metrics on your side.

Any data and metrics you develop to measuring social impact are also useful to share with your supporters. They want to understand that their donations, volunteer hours, and petition signatures are helping make the world a better place through your organization. If they see how much their support means, they’ll continue to provide it!

It’s clear that measuring your social impact is important, so you want to do it right. Implement these three expert tips into your process:

  1. Develop a sustainable framework.
  2. Maintain the human element.
  3. Take advantage of partnerships.

Ready to quantify the impact your nonprofit work has on the community? Read on!

1. Develop a sustainable framework.

To generate useful reports about your social impact, you have to first gather the data that your reports will be based on.

For that, you need a sustainable data collection and analysis method. Writing your process down and ensuring that everyone on your team knows which elements they’re responsible for will set you up for success in the short and long terms.

Every nonprofit’s mission and operations are different, so each nonprofit’s system will look a little bit different. But regardless of your exact situation, you’ll need to determine what you’re looking for, how you’re going to gather the data, and how you’re going to turn that raw data into useful reports.

Let’s dive into each of these elements individually.

What data will you gather?

At the heart of this process, you want to measure something immeasurable: the impact of your programs on the wellbeing of the community.

How can you put a number on that? You have to get specific with your individual campaign goals, breaking it down into measurable cause and effect.

Let’s take the basic goal of encouraging donations for a specific campaign, a situation most nonprofits find themselves in. The campaign will positively impact the community, so by examining trends in donations benefiting that campaign, we can estimate the impact on the community.

Start small. Think about the actions that you take every day to encourage donations, then the smallest unit of measure and any relevant percentages:

Then, think about metrics you can use to measure the impact of these specific actions:

  • Engagement with email, direct mail, and social media campaigns
  • Volume and amount of donations
  • Attendance at your fundraising events
  • Changes in all of the above over the course of the campaign

Not all valuable metrics will be as easy to quantify, but that doesn’t mean they’re any less important.

You also need to know how your stakeholders and beneficiaries feel about your organization and your programs. For these metrics, you should gather testimonials instead of numbers. Though it is difficult to quantify this type of qualitative data, it is still imperative. You just need the right data collection method!

How will you gather this data?

Collecting the proper data set is impossible without the proper tools. Some valuable data collection tools for nonprofits are:

  • The right donation pages. Make sure you can customize your donation form to include fields you need for your analysis. Your donation software should also collect general data useful for tracking trends, such as overall amount and timing of donations.
  • Email management systems. Schedule emails to specific segments of your donors, then track who opens your email, who clicks on links, and when they take those actions.

Most important in this list is your donation software. One of the most basic and effective ways to track your activities is through your donations.

You need to invest in donation software that offers robust reporting features. All within your software, you should be able to create multiple campaigns, track individual and group trends, filter your data, and export all or parts of your donation information when needed.

When it comes to qualitative data, you need slightly different methods of data collection. The data you’re looking for might not flow through these systems. After a team volunteering event, for instance, you might need to learn how your community felt the event went.

For the more indirect measures of social impact, you need qualitative data collection such as surveys and interviews. You might send out surveys over email, direct mail, or social media, and you might consider calling some donors directly.

No matter what kind of data collection method you decide on, make sure it’s sustainable. Software solutions should be programmed to automate as much as possible so your team just has to set the parameters once. If you decide to dedicate time to calling donors, make sure you schedule that time on your team calendar on a recurring basis.

How can you make your data useful?

Keep in mind your ultimate goal isn’t simply measuring but fully understanding the your social impact. With that, it’s time to put together reports.

You will need some baseline with which you can compare the community before your campaign and after it. Ensure that you’re collecting data before you actually begin your campaign so you have something to measure your success against.

While your data collection should focus on the data points themselves, your reporting can focus on the changes over certain periods of time.

DY-Causeartist-Measuring Social Impact-header2

2. Maintain the human element.

For all the talk of data and analysis, it can be easy to lose sight of the people behind the numbers. Always remember that at the core of your fundraising practices are the beneficiaries who appreciate your support.

Whether you’re developing reports for your internal team, your stakeholders, or your beneficiaries, ensure that you’re keeping your work with your community at the center.

You can do this by incorporating:

  • Photos. Aim for images that directly show the impact of your specific campaign. If your nonprofit helped collect school supplies for a local school, organize a photoshoot with the teachers and students in their classroom using their new supplies.
  • Videos. There’s nothing as impactful as a video testimonial from a beneficiary whose life was improved thanks to one of your programs. Film an interview with someone who has an impactful story to tell.
  • Quotes. If you need a quicker and simpler way to incorporate the human element, you can always ask your beneficiaries for a quote that you can use in your reporting. Try to keep these written testimonials short and focused on one specific campaign.

It’s helpful to keep in mind that measuring your social impact isn’t just about giving yourself a pat on the back, though you deserve it! Nonprofit work is about your community of beneficiaries, whether you’re launching a peer-to-peer fundraising page for medical research or actually helping to build the town’s new hospital.

DY-Causeartist-Measuring Social Impact-header3

3. Take advantage of partnerships.

Remember that you’re not alone in your community. There are partners out there waiting for you to approach them for help tackling the difficult problems you aim to solve.

So if you’re unsure whether you can meet the ambitious goals you set for yourself, consider reaching out to some community partners!

The most obvious place to look is other nonprofits organizations. If you benefit a similar mission or share many of the same donors, why not work together toward a common cause? Consider hosting a fundraising event together or coordinating digital efforts on a national day of giving.

You can also reach out to businesses of all sizes! Think of the benefits of partnering with companies of all sizes:

  • Smaller companies have the flexibility to get creative with social enterprise to benefit a good cause. Partnering with these kinds of small companies can pay off because your nonprofit gets exposed to a wider donor base — their customers!
  • Local businesses can offer you in-kind donations for your fundraising events, like a venue, food, or staff. Sometimes, all it takes to set up these partnerships is for you to walk into a local business and ask to speak with the owner about your nonprofit.

Though you might not think of your donors as partners in the same way you think of companies, don’t overlook the value of your supporters’ suggestions. Make it a habit to check in with your donors on a regular basis to ask them for their feedback and ideas.

With these strategies on your side, measuring the social impact of your nonprofit’s programs will work out to your advantage!

Nice Pair

Of the repackaging of classics there is no end. The latest outburst is Vintage Classics and its second line-wide overhaul in a couple of years. This time they're obviously aiming to make a dent in Penguin's market dominance by putting out a whole lot of older, public-domain classics like work by Dickens, Melville, James, Austen and the like.

One nice promotional touch is the selling of some of these older classics with well-chosen limited-edition contemporary "classics" from Vintage's line. The pairings are mostly pretty good, and the matching covers are rather nice.

The best may be the combination of Oliver Twist with Trainspotting (both stories of the urban criminal underclass), the covers featuring animals which play minor but memorable parts in the stories (Sykes' dog and the cat which kills Tommy with toxoplasmosis).

I also like the ligature in the text on the Dickens cover.

Some of the other pairings are shown here: 'Crime' (Dostoevsky and Highsmith), 'Lust' (Fielding and Amis) and 'Sin' (Dante and Roth). I think they're all quite effective.

August said...

The typeface for the Oliver Twist cover, the one with the cool ligature, is Monotype's Fournier, I believe. The whole of George Elliott Clarke's excellent libretto Beatrice Chancey (based on Shelley's The Cenci, and transplanted to 19th Century Nova Scotia, it works beautifully on the page), published by Polestar, was set in it, and it's probably the most gorgeous type I've ever seen.

JRSM said...

Thank you for that--I'm going to have to buy that typeface. It's beautiful!

August said...

Glad to help. I found your blog via Brian Busby's blog, The Dusty Bookcase, which I found in turn from the blog over at Canadian Notes and Queries, an excellent journal I subscribe to.

I've spent the last week and a half reading your archives at work (I have that kind of job), and I'm enjoying it a great deal. I came to the end today, though, and will now have to wait patiently for updates like everybody else. :)

JRSM said...

And thank you again! The Dusty Bookcase is fascinating, I agree--I have a fascination for Canadian literature, and the ways it is mirrored by (and differs from) Australian literature. Big, mostly human-free countries, uneasy historical relationship with the UK, uneasy modern relationship with the US, all that jazz...

Cat's Reaction to Losing Bed Is Priceless

We love cats because they're independent. Independent cats can also bother us.

Ask any cat owner who spent a lot of money on toys or a bed, and they'll tell you the cat wasn't interested. You removed it.

It's so funny and cat-like. @Samanta Meinskait: "I purchased my cat a new bed, she didn't want it, but if my dog sits in it, it's off-limits."

@RosinOconner has been there with a cat carrier: "My cat will sleep in an open cat carrier. When I put her in..." Yes, cats are polar opposites.

@Coin adds, "They won't use it for months, but if you mention it, they'll start sleeping in it again!"

Catnip or a tent can be used to attract a cat to use a bed. Or storing it till they need it.

Focus towards Purchase Things Done

It contains towards be one of mankind’s most significant problems; currently being targeted in just the prompt paced, technologies run earth we are living inside. Material overload, a well known phenomenon, operate overload yet another. Still becoming targeted is maybe the suitable path for us towards just take factors accomplished and movement forward with our life and our positions. Hence how do we preserve our eye upon the ball Whilst it’s accustomed toward bouncing above against court in direction of court?

Focus upon a person thing

Wise terms from a clever male, nevertheless optimum of us will relate towards chasing quite possibly a dozen rabbits at the identical time and a handful of of elephants. Still if we are to comply with the intelligent phrases of Confucius we will just take additional performed and complete our ambitions abruptly. Working on even more than a person thing at a period will waste beneficial time. Each time we substitute versus just one task to a different, it will take our mind time towards readjust and focus upon the minute process and worthwhile year is misplaced within the changeover. The truth of the matter becoming that multitasking is a efficiency nightmare.

Eliminate recognized distractions

Last 7 days I advisable an content detox towards assist us recognise the quantity of content material that we take in is unwanted. A detox furthermore will help us in direction of loosen up and unwind, an imperative portion of interest and concentrate. If on your own need to order get the job done finished, disconnect from engineering. Transform off all notifications and reminders of email messages and tweets and so on. Take control of all interaction and social media and merely move in the direction of them Though on your own are prepared towards pay year there. It’s not positive in direction of get notifications – human beings are not potent adequate in the direction of fail to remember this sort of teasers.

Calm the mind

One of our most important distractions is not as on your own could incorporate idea – Fb – it is our private mind racing through our minds Whilst we are trying in the direction of just take one thing accomplished. These cheeky intellect normally tempt us absent against the process that requires executing, or they annoyingly and consistently tell though we are working on activity A that endeavor B, C and D continue to be unfinished. Don’t listen, just take control of your mind and redirect them to the endeavor at hand. A Good route to however the intellect is meditation. It can help in the direction of silence the consistent talk we all knowledge versus time in the direction of time. It can be a best tips in direction of interest.

De-cluttering is a different direction in the direction of take out interruptions, if your desk, workplace and head are clear, your self are minimising the choices for distractions. I often get started my 7 days via cleansing my office environment, everything that was left lying in the vicinity of against the previous week specifications towards be dealt with, your self have to have in direction of know that there is absolutely nothing oneself include neglected pertaining to or left undone. If yourself attain into the habit of performing a weekly de-clutter or in GTD words and phrases a weekly overview, your self can start off the week snug, focused and ready for action.

We all understand health and fitness produces energy; it is in addition a highly effective route in direction of reduce irritation, as endorphins are launched through the pituitary gland in direction of block out feelings of soreness or irritation. Serotonin, one more chemical unveiled whilst exercising, increases our temper and our experience of joy. Physical fitness is additionally trusted for the creation of clean neurons in just the mind which let us toward technique and store content excess smoothly.

Clarification of Goals

Being obvious in excess of our objectives and plans will help us focus and stay upon observe. It motivates us in the direction of proceed and persist any time we are missing the inspiration. If your targets is towards de-clutter your property and be far more organised, your objective potentially towards protect against stress and bring about quiet. For a different person the objective could possibly be for the reason that they are positioning their property up for sale and will need the home searching Terrific and appealing. It’s considerable in the direction of demonstrate your aims within just purchase in direction of retain the enthusiasm and be certain that what your self are operating on is getting oneself closer to that function.

The even further we simplify our life and our work opportunities, the added perform we buy performed. But we don’t accurately have to have towards receive effort accomplished, we will need to order the major projects done, the assignments that deliver a change in the direction of the large picture. Numerous of us chaotic ourselves doing initiatives that are unneeded, throwing away period on components that aren’t including price tag in the direction of our life or our employment. If oneself can simplify and take out the unwanted in opposition to your daily life your self will consist of even further period to notice upon what is significant, and it will moreover become a good deal simpler toward preserve this attention.

What other methods do by yourself retain the services of to reside centered?

MOSCOW (AP) — Two men fired at soldiers on a Russian military firing range near Ukraine on Saturday, killing 11 and wounding 15 before being slain themselves, the Russian Defense Ministry said.

The ministry said in a statement that the shooting took place in the Belgorod region in southwestern Russia that borders Ukraine. It said two men from an unnamed former Soviet republic fired on volunteer soldiers during target practice and were killed by return fire.

The ministry called the incident a terrorist attack.

The shooting comes amid a hasty mobilization ordered by President Vladimir Putin to beef up Russian forces in Ukraine — a move that triggered protests and caused hundreds of thousands to flee Russia.

Putin said Friday that over 220,000 reservists already had been called up as part of an effort to recruit 300,000. He promised the mobilization would be wrapped up in two weeks.

The mobilization was troubled from the start, with authorities issuing confusing signals about who should be called up for service in a country where almost all men under age 65 are listed as reservists.

Even though the Russian leader declared that only people who had recently served in the military would be subject to the call-up, activists and rights groups reported military conscription offices rounding up people without any army experience — some of whom were also unfit for service for medical reasons.

Some of the freshly called-up reservists posted videos of themselves being forced to sleep on the floor or even outside and given rusty weapons before being sent to the front lines.

Russian media reports said some of those who were mobilized were sent to combat without receiving proper training and were quickly killed.

Authorities have acknowledged the mobilization was often poorly organized and promised to improve the situation.

What Will Be the Role of A&R in Tomorrow’s Music Business? (Guest Column)

What Will Be the Role of A&R in Tomorrow’s Music Business? (Guest Column)

The music industry has entered an extraordinary era of potential. A philosophical examination of A&R is necessary. It doesn’t mean that we haven’t made mistakes; in fact, recent hires as well as chatter within the business suggest that we are beginning to recall the much-debated importance of A&R. We should examine this more closely.

How many of you wake up each morning feeling confident about the quality of the music and artists we serve? Our goal is to continue pushing the best music and artists forward. Too many people have tried to dismiss A&R because it is an arbitrary skill set. They claim that data yields best results, or that artificial intelligence will make the role obsolete.

My initial reaction to these claims was one that was a reproachful; “these people completely miss the entire point of A&R,” thought I. However, it inspired me to ponder the role A&R has in the future of the music business. Is it worth identifying an A&R ethos that can guide us through this new era in the music business? I believe I have found its essence.

Are we really assuming that the consumer is the best judge? A&R is about you as much as the consumer. You and the consumer are one in a similar way. Are you still a firm believer that the consumer is the best judge? Many of us believe that we live in a consumer-driven market where the consumer decides what music and artists we listen to. Don’t be offended if I refer to “the customer” so many times.

This fear response is based on my experience. It helps to cushion disappointments or repercussions when market expectations are challenged. This has become a way to avoid mediocrity and our egos have relegated its possibility to our expression. Technology has made it possible to create a wealth of music content, thanks to advances in technology. Song lengths have decreased, and the instinct is to blame this on a decrease in attention spans. However, let me offer another perspective — what if consumers have become smarter? The consumer seeks out the best, but the consumer is often overwhelmed.

What if the consumer has grown so distrustful of the music industry’s ability to deliver on its quality standards that they allow music to fade into the background, abandoning music as their primary source of entertainment? This could explain why sync (including short-form video like Tik Tok), has become more important in breaking old and new songs. Think about the artists and songs that first sparked your passion for music. Think back to that feeling. That feeling that you wanted to live your life after… that feeling which led to a burning passion for participation… that feeling which solidified your deepest connection with humanity.

The past few years have seen humanity struggle, and music must play a greater role in shaping its future. Music is supposed to be the driving force behind humanity’s future, and A&Rs are musical shepherds. People want music and artists that inspire them and give them hope for the future. We can’t expect to be able to fulfill this demand if we don’t have control over our own expression. We are the ultimate music consumers. What music will we show our children?

Let’s be honest and admit that the main goal of most sustainable businesses is to maximize profits. This is true even for music businesses. Many of us are at crossroads between passion and success. This can be attributed to our dependence on data to make our decisions. However, I believe that a greater focus on quality will ignite our passions and produce results that surpass the expectations we hold dear. The No. 1 song on the Hot 100 this week is, again, Steve Lacy‘s breakout smash “Bad Habit.” The song that “Bad Habit” replaced on the chart, Harry Styles‘ “As It Was,” spent a record (for a British act) 15 weeks at the summit. Then there’s Bad Bunny ‘s Billboard 200 chart behemoth Un Verano Sin Ti ,, which continues to drive global market share and generates revenue. Do you remember a time when you could walk into any record company and hear the music so loud that it almost broke your eardrums? That’s the energy.

Finally… Technology, including artificial intelligence (AI), will continue reimagine the music industry and aspects of A&R. But — how will an AI-generated artist capture human emotion and authenticity? Although it is possible to have humans write songs, how would an AI-generated artist capture the emotion and creative expression that drives the connection with the listener. Is this really necessary when there are so many talented artists all over the world who want to find their fans?

This may depend on the person’s intent. Is music just a vessel that casts the sail for other commercial pursuits or is it a meaningless vessel? One might argue that this could all be solved through an algorithm if they have a better understanding of AI. I’m sure someone will eventually find a way for them to connect the dots on some new records from this space. We are constantly confronted with an identity crisis, and it has been proven that high quality and relatability prevail in the eyes of the consumer.

It’s never been more exciting to be in the music industry, and A&R is gaining a renewed significance. As humanity seeks a new direction, musical potential has reached a new height. A direction where music is at the forefront of all creation and consumers’ expectations have been exceeded. A&R is, at its core, a confident alignment between our self expression and a thoughtful attention towards quality. What music do YOU want to hear? We are blessed to be able to tell the stories of some the most talented people on the planet. It is important to remember that we are the consumers in order to achieve this.

Kayode Bayode Badmuss-Wellington is an A&R executive, artist manager, and has experience at Epic, Pulse and Warner. He’s signed or worked closely on multi-platinum releases for artists including Rich The Kid, 24kGoldn, Fifth Harmony, French Montana and others.

Queen’s ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ Named Most-Streamed Song From 20th Century

Queen "Bohemian Rhapsody"
992 0

(CelebrityAccess) – Universal Music Group (UMG) has announced that Queen’s iconic hit “Bohemian Rhapsody,” has officially become the world’s most-streamed song from the 20th Century, as well as the most-streamed Classic Rock song of all time.

Having originally appeared on the band’s 1975 album A Night at the Opera, “Bohemian Rhapsody” was Queen’s first Top 10 hit in the US. The song has now surpassed 1.6 billion streams globally across all major streaming services, in part thanks to the release of the Queen biopic of the same name, which has grossed almost $600 million at the global box office since debuting in late October.

Commenting on the news, Queen guitarist and founding member, Brian May, said: “So the River of Rock Music has metamorphosed into streams! Very happy that our music is still flowing to the max!”

Lucian Grainge, Chairman and CEO of Universal Music Group, which represents Queen’s catalog globally outside of North America added: “’Bohemian Rhapsody’ is one of the greatest songs by one of the greatest bands in history. We are so proud to represent Queen and are thrilled to see the song still inspiring new fans around the world more than four decades after its release.  My congratulations to Queen and [longtime manager] Jim Beach on an incredible achievement that is a testament to the enduring brilliance of Queen.”

Songs trailing close behind “Bohemian Rhapsody” include Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” which sits at No. 2 with 1.5 billion streams, Guns N’ Roses’ “Sweet Child O’ Mine” and “November Rain,” which take up spots 3 and 4 respectively, and A-ha’s 1985 hit “Take On Me,” which holds the No. 5 spot.

Queen has sold more than 300 million albums worldwide.

WHAT YOU OUGHT TO Know Before Using CBD Oil

The fear caused by synthetic medicines created by pharmaceutical companies has opened lots of people to the alternative remedies like the use of CBD oil or cannabis plant extract in the treating chronic pain.

Apparently, many people today can see safety in using CBD essential oil for pain compared to those drugs which need you to undergo surgery or take days off your work for regaining your health.

Apparently, people who have become weary of the numerous synthetic pain killers have discovered solace in CBD oil for pain, even if they must lengthen their lifestyles for that.

Apparently, Famous brandz water pipe will have discovered sanctuary in CBD essential oil for pain due to the fast-acting and all-natural materials extracted from the medicinal cannabis plant presently known because of its wide array of health benefits.

If you are among those who’ve been prescribed with different medications such as analgesics, antidepressants, and other prescription medications, you must remember that the pharmaceutical companies usually do not divulge facts regarding their drug’s ingredients, or even the possible side effects of the said medications when taken excessively or for prolonged intervals.

You may ask why they don’t share this information and the answer is simple. These companies want you to keep taking their products to allow them to maximize their profits. Aside from the profit, there are other more considerations that they would like to be hidden.

There are certain things that are not only best for your body but are also proven to be effective when it comes to the treatment of chronic pain conditions.

One example of the ingredients is the Cannabidiol, which is a element of CBD oil for pain therapy. This chemical has been proven to be effective in reducing pain in an exceedingly short period of time.

Moreover, it helps people who have neurological and psychiatric diseases such as for example multiple sclerosis and cerebral palsy.

In fact, many people employ marijuana or cannabis for relief of the symptoms related to the diseases mentioned previously. But one thing that needs to be made clear is that these kinds of prescription drugs, including those which are derived from cannabis, are not safe for long-term use.

This is because they are derived from a plant which has some unknown and potentially damaging side effects on the human body. Some of the side effects which were previously reported include dizziness, nausea or vomiting, sleep problems, muscle spasms, lack of concentration, and even hallucinations.

On the other hand, researchers have conducted human reports in order to study the advantages of using CBD oil for pain management.

The research have revealed that patients suffering from various types of chronic soreness have responded well to the use of CBD oil.

Furthermore, they were in a position to reduce the level of discomfort and pain, in addition to the frequency and severity of the disease.

The benefit which the patients experienced didn’t occur due to the using cannabis, but because they were utilizing an alternative treatment which will not contain the harmful chemicals. Therefore, it can clearly be said that CBD could be used as a substitute medicine for many forms of diseases.

There are many people who find themselves afraid to try the benefits of CBD oil for comfort of the outward symptoms caused by their diseases. The reason being many people use cannabis regularly without any negative consequences.

Many people also think that the medicinal real estate of cannabis are so effective they cannot find a way to make the plant unavailable. However, this belief is completely wrong.

When CBD is used alternatively medicine, it could easily enter your body through the skin which is among the smallest passageways within the body. Therefore, there is no need to worry about the harmful chemicals found in cannabis if you choose to use CBD.

However, there are also certain CBD products which contain only trace amounts of CBD. These products should be avoided at all costs to be able to enjoy the health benefits offered by CBD.

Many websites sell CBD items at affordable prices, and it is very easy for the best product for your needs. Furthermore, because most websites offer free shipping, many people are actually using online buying to buy the best CBD carrier oils.

In the end, it is possible to securely use both topical and products and CBD oil in order to alleviate the symptoms due to your ailments. Both products work nicely together in order to offer you effective treatment for inflammation and chronic discomfort, and you will definitely spot the difference in the results.

If you take care of one’s body in a continuing manner, it will be easy to fight against any sort of chronic pain or disease. Consequently, do not be afraid to make the decision today and try using this phenomenal medicine.

Welcome to our kids ministry

Our children are highly influenced through everything around them.  Whether it's through a daycare or school, a neighborhood friend, or media, kids regularly encounter the world through a variety of lenses.  As the church, we want to empower kids to see the world through the eyes of Jesus, while coming alongside  parents and grandparents to help equip them to disciple their families.  Some of the greatest highlights in a child's life can happen during a Worship Gathering, but the long term growth of a child relies on the partnership between the light of the Church and the heart of the family.

, The Purchase of Shares in Costa Rica

The Purchase of Shares in Costa Rica

Buying companies is a daily phenomenon in any country in the world. Particularly in Costa Rica, one of the vehicles used for its simplicity is the purchase of shares, that generates a change in its shareholders.

(After many years of not having any significant change, the shareholders register will be different from this year. The Law to Improve the Fight against Tax Fraud, which came into force on January 1 2019, presents obligations whose purpose is to know the subsequent beneficiaries of the various existing legal figures and thus avoid hiding the true economic capacity of taxpayers. The regulation establishes the duty of individuals, legal structures and legal representatives of companies domiciled in the country to identify to the Central Bank of Costa Rica (BCCR) all the shareholders or those who hold substantive interests in the entity, the final beneficiaries or cash and its share of shares.) It is possible to say that with this process, both assets and liabilities of the company, are indirectly acquired since those are maintained under its name without the need, unless exception, to make further changes.

Obviously this method of acquisition of shares involves a number of risks to the new shareholders, since as stated, are acquiring all the liabilities related with the company.

Also, one might think of the interests of third persons involved in this type of transactions made by those creditors that hold rights over the company, which, in many cases, can see this right affected by the new payment policies of the new owners regardless of the company having their right legally guaranteed by an invoice, purchase order or any similar figure.

The existence of the concept of “buying and selling of commercial and industrial establishments”, which is regulated from Article 478 to Article 489 of the Commercial Code of Costa Rica, have a very interesting and viable solution to these problems that may derived from a pure and simple acquisition of shares.

Article 478 of the Commercial Code starts by defining what are the elements of a comprehensive commercial and industrial property to establish that “are integral elements of a commercial establishment, for the purposes of its transmission by any title: the electric, telephone and any facilities otherwise, the furniture, the existence in merchandise, invention patents and trademarks manufacturing, accounting comprising the complete files of the business, drawings and industrial designs, the honorable distinctions and other rights arising from the commercial property, industrial or artistic.”

As it is possible to notice, in the purchase and sale of commercial and industrial establishments all claims arising from a commercial, industrial and artistic property can be acquired. Also, keeps saying the same article that “The sale of a commercial or industrial establishment includes all its elements and everything that forms its assets and liabilities, unless expressly agreed otherwise.” Uniting these concepts, it is possible to think that the purchase and sale of commercial and industrial establishments is practically the same as an outright purchase of shares, in the sense that in both figures are available all the elements of a corporation, including assets and liabilities.

However, both figures are separated by a very different method for its validity and effectiveness. If they are not fully implemented in the case of the purchase and sale of commercial and industrial establishments, the penalty can be the nullity of the same. Thus, Article 488 of the Commercial Code states that “The sale of a commercial or industrial establishment in which they have not completed the formalities of this chapter, shall be absolutely void as to third parties and the buyer will not make good payment.”

Among the main steps of this process are the following: a) notice of the sale in “the official newspaper for notice to be published three times in succession, in which creditors and stakeholders will be cited for appearing within the term of fifteen days from the first publication, to assert their rights”; b) the price, if it were cash, will be deposited in the buyer or in a third party, besides being able to be deposited in a bank or Notary Public before whom the public deed of transfer was issued; c) creditors must present their credits, which must necessarily come from the commercial traffic of the commercial and industrial establishment, within fifteen working days from the date of the first publication of the edict, and d ) once the fifteen days are overdue, the depositary will convene the creditors to take the agreements they deem for the payment of their credits

In addition and as complement to these steps, the Commercial Code provides a number of guarantees to all the parties of the negotiation as well to all the creditors of the establishment to be sold. The protection given to creditors lies primarily in the fact that if they are not paid during the bankruptcy process, their current legal situation would be very affected because the assets of the company to which they are creditors, could be seriously diminished and even removed entirely with the sale of the property.

The rules to be indicated as follows may constitute, in our opinion, one more differentiation with the outright purchase of shares, which assures to the buyer the non- acquisition of debts, unless otherwise agreed by the creditors, and good payment is performed of the existing debts with greater assurance and security for those paid creditors and for the seller and the buyer who will be released of their debts.

Article 480 of the Commercial Code provides that the price will not delivered to the seller, under any circumstances, if the above steps have not been complied, particularly the payment of the claims submitted and that were approved for been part of the commercial business of the company . Clearly, this rule generates a guarantee, security and benefit to creditors and the buyer.

The article 482 also exclude as possible credits to pay those that are personal of the seller or that were not contracted for the benefit of the property and due to its commercial twist.

Aim Article 483 that “The credits not submitted within the specified term, will be collectible to the seller without the sold establishment been responsible.” Again, this represents a great advantage for the buyer.

Also, as a guarantee for the creditors who filed their credits within fifteen days but were not recognized, “will be able to sue for the full amount its recognition in accordance with the nature of the title on which they base their credit, and an equal part to its value shall be deposited to the order of the trial judge, to be delivered promptly as it may be decided in judgment.”

Also and as protective article of the rights of creditors and that can protect a buyer from acquiring a commercial and industrial property in bankruptcy, “If the amount of the credits is higher than the deposit rate, or all of them cannot be met due to the existence of titles that are part of the same and are not liquid and payable, the whole will be deposited in the competent judicial authority so that the procedures for the settlement of the case continue.”

But not only the process includes the determination and payment of debts, it contemplates that creditors can oppose to the transfer if they reliably demonstrate that the price is lower in a “ten percent to that rationally and given the conditions market and merchandise specials, could have been achieved.” That is, if a transfer in fraud of creditors has taken place. However, for this procedure to be effective, the debtors will have to acquire the company for the actual amount that they demonstrated as real or present a buyer that deposits in cash such amount.

Also and for this situation not to become a constraint that prevents the original agreement between buyer and seller to take place, may either of these two, cover the difference in price claimed by the creditors, which would give firmness to the transfer.

Like any buying shares outright, the buyer can pay with cash or securities commercially discountable. In the latter case, and because the deposit must be in cash for the payment of creditors, the discount should be performed before the publication of the notice. However, creditors may agree that the cash discount should not be made.

The last rule governing the procedure of purchase and sale of commercial and industrial establishments also of great importance for the benefit of creditors, as it requires that the price be deposited in full, unless the creditors unanimously agree otherwise, which might imply the acceptance of the buyer as new debtor in substitution of the seller, being the seller finally liberated from its existing obligations.

We conclude that by the procedure, rights and guarantees mentioned above: a) the buyer can purchase a commercial and industrial establishment free of debts and with absolute guarantee that is not inheriting contingencies that might not have been detected in a due diligence process, b) the seller could make good payment of all existing debts legally liberating himself from its payment obligations, with the possibility of receiving a balance in the prices free of all duty, and c) the creditors may receive the payment of all of its debts, if they so accepted; go to the ordinary judicial roads if they were not paid and acquire the commercial and industrial establishment if they can demonstrate that its price is lower than the market price of a business of this type.

All these guarantees have made that this figure is widely accepted by the parties and even the financial institutions that may be part of a transfer like these as creditors of the buyer, see that their warranties may be strengthened in their entirety due to the absence of previous debts that could have affected them.

Reflecting on new developmentalism and classical developmentalism
Luiz Carlos Bresser-Pereira
Brazilian Journal of Political Economy

Reflecting on new developmentalism and classical developmentalism. This paper, first, distinguishes new developmentalism, a new theoretical system that is being created, from really existing developmentalism – a form of organizing capitalism. Second, it distinguishes new developmentalism from its antecedents, Development Economics or classical developmentalism and Keynesian Macroeconomics. Third, it discusses the false opposition that some economists have adopted between new developmentalism and social-developmentalism, which the author understands as a form of really existing developmentalism; as theory, it is just a version of classical developmentalism with a bias toward immediate consumption. Finally, it makes a summary of new developmentalism – of its main political economy, economic theory and economic policy claims.

The Swedish model: an alternative to macroeconomic policy
Alexandre Guedes Viana, Patrícia Helena F. Cunha
Brazilian Journal of Political Economy

This paper describes the main details of the Swedish economic model, which began to be structured on the 1930’s and achieved its consolidation on the 1950’s. The Swedish Model is characterized by a macroeconomic policy which provides price stability, fiscal results for ive industrial policies and social active policies, the latter being recognized as a wide universal welfare state. This combination, which contradicts the traditional economic prescriptions, has been successful given the country was agrarian and underdeveloped until the beginning of 20th century and achieved a high social-economic development level on the 1970’s. Afterwards, we present the Swedish experiment as an alternative to macroeconomic management, especially due to its uniqueness.

The structural inertia in the national productive base: the FDI and the international transference of technology
Tulio Chiarini
Brazilian Journal of Political Economy

The structural inertia in the national productive base. What can explain the fact that there was a massive entry of FDI in Brazil and it remains with a structural inertia in the national productive base? There is a series of macroeconomic facts that can help explain this inertia, such as low investment rate and the mismatching of key prices in the economy (such as interest rates and exchange rates), but the proposal made here is that there is a relevant microeconomic structural problem: lack of technological capability of Brazilian industrial firms. To analyze this proposition we separate the types of FDI (greenfield, merger and acquisition and portfolio) and the types of technology transfer channels (horizontal and vertical). From empirical and historical elements we build up the argument that the lack of technological capability is a key element in understanding the dynamism loss of the domestic industry.

Latin American countries and the establishment of the multilateral trading system: the Havana Conference (1947-1948)
Norma Breda dos Santos
Brazilian Journal of Political Economy

This article proposes to study the participation of Latin American delegations during the Havana Conference, which negotiated and approved the Charter of International Trade Organization (ITO), including the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), in 1947-1948. It shows that the prevalent understanding of Latin American countries was that the Havana negotiations would be the outcome of their existing political and material power asymmetries in relation to the industrialized countries. They believed that their fragile economies should face the strong economies of the industrialized countries by economic planning and import substitution, already in place in several Latin American countries since the 1930s and the 1940. The article also shows that the construction of the post-World War II international trade regime was in fact characterized by strong material and political inequalities, which undermined Latin American countries abilities to negotiate.

Why transaction costs are so relevant in political governance? A new institutional survey
Gonzalo Caballero, David Soto-Oñate
Brazilian Journal of Political Economy

The New Institutional Economics, led by four Nobel laureates (Ronald Coase, Douglass North, Oliver Williamson and Elinor Ostrom), has showed that institutions and organizations are a medium for reducing transaction costs and obtaining a higher efficiency in economic performance. This paper goes into the research program of the New Institutional Economics to explain the relevance of transaction costs in political exchange and organization and show that transactions costs are even higher in political markets than in economic markets. The paper reviews the main contributions on institutions, transaction costs and political governance, and provides some lessons on political transacting and governance. The survey includes the most detailed catalogue of political transaction costs that has ever been published.

From physiology to political economy: Quesnays intellectual itineraty towards the Tableau Économique
Fernando Ribeiro, Nelson Mendes Cantarino
Brazilian Journal of Political Economy

The interfaces between the formation of economic theory and other branches of knowledge are rarely explored in the history of economic thought. The article seeks to bring an original contribution in analyzing the debates that took place in natural philosophy and medicine in the context in which the physiological and natural thought of Quesnay (1684-1774) was developed. It is argued that the physiological approaches of Quesnay may be related to the Tableau Economique (1758-1766) in a very different sense from that offered by Foley (1973) and by most textbooks History of Economic Thought whereby the Tableau should be seen as an analogy of the circulatory system.

The structure and the market: Comparative analysis of Plano Trienal and PAEG
Leandro Vizin Villarino
Brazilian Journal of Political Economy

The structure and the market. This paper proposes an analysis of the texts Plano Trienal and PAEG, documents of economic planning in 1960s Brazil. We aim to check, on one hand, theoretical and conceptual aspects regarding its retrospective diagnosis, and, on the other, socioeconomic conditions each text projects for the future as condition for de achievement of their intended objectives. With such an analysis we do not aim to verify if the plans are suitable to the Brazilian reality, but to understand how internal problems of texts and its relations may be elucidatory no only to the History of Ideas, but also for a broad consideration of Economic, Social and Institutional History in Brazil.

Testing the models of transition in practice: the case-studies of Estonia and Slovenia
Viljar Veebel, Andra Nam
Brazilian Journal of Political Economy

The following study is based on the comparison of the actual transition processesin Estonia and Slovenia in 1991-2000 with the aim of testing two conceptual models (shock therapy versus gradualism) of transition theory in practice. This article has two main goals, closely interlinked with each other. The first task is to analyse whether the reform paths undertaken by Estonia and Slovenia followed the theoretical concepts of ‘shock therapy’ and ‘gradualism’, the models the states are often symbolising in theoretical debates. The second task is to evaluate the ability of the theoretical models to correctly allocate the classical country examples to the shock therapy and gradualist models. This research study is also interested in what are the advantages and disadvantages of a polarised approach to transition theory models and how these models can be improved.

Systemically important financial institutions in Latin America - A Primer
Jacob Kleinow, Mario Garcia Molina, Andreas Horsch
Brazilian Journal of Political Economy

Financial institutions show a characteristic risk exposure and vulnerability, making them prone to instability. Financial systems in Latin America, however, were left largely unscathed by the global financial crisis starting in 2008. This state-of-the-art survey provides an in-depth analysis on the identification and regulation of systemically important financial institutions (SIFIs). While Latin America benefits from its rich historical experience in managing systemic risks, we find the problem of SIFIs to be still underestimated. However, there are first efforts to cope with SIFIs in science and particularly Latin American supervisors and regulators are starting to take the threat posed by SIFIs seriously.

A radical proposal for direct democracy in large societies
John Asimakopolos
Brazilian Journal of Political Economy

It is argued direct democracy is attainable but only in ways that connect to the experiences of daily life. By modifying existing institutions of governance it is pragmatically possible to achieve a society resembling distant utopias. One proposal is based on the argument that all electoral systems are inherently fraudulent under any regime. Rather, direct democracy alone can provide substantive equality. Therefore it is suggested legislative and judicial branches be filled by lottery while leaving the demos as the executive through internet voting modeled on the principle of state propositions.

Bubble or just organic secular growth connected to inflation?

 The Canmore housing market went within one month from a crazy binge to a screeching slowdown. For people who put the houses recently on the market, the big question is "Is it just a demonstration of relief of hundreds of thousands of Canadians taking finally holidays, being able to travel and breathe without a mask? Or is it a breather, and pause of the market before another busy autumn?  Or is it a beginning of the correction after a very long appreciation?".

According to Better Dwelling Canada is in the longest expansion from any G7 nation. I disagree with their harsh title for the article"The Canadian Property Bubble Has Grown For 24 Years, Longer Than Any Other G7", see the graph:

Length Of Home Price Expansion Across The G7

The length of time home prices in G7 countries have expanded with a correction (10% or more). Measured at the trough of the previous housing cycle correction or crash.

"Canada’s expansion isn’t just unusual for Canada, it’s unusual for any advanced economy. The next closest country is Germany, where it is currently 12.5 years without a correction. Despite Germany having half the expansion, Canadian home prices have grown 3x faster. Compounding inefficiencies. The magic of math, eh?"

Better Dwelling did not notice that Canada is big ;-) and that general statistics which heavily depends on heavily populated provinces is heavily distorted. Calgary went through more than one 10% dip during the last 10 years so the graph and title are a little bit bombastic. And Canmore stagnated and dipped in this period too.  Alberta might as well profit dramatically when the border finally opens for international travel and we will happily admit our huge (by developed countries standards) number of immigrants. And they usually go to where the housing is cheaper. And Alberta is just recovering from the oil price crisis and I hope that our federal government will not try to put Calgary under water again.

While I would not be surprised if there is a slowdown (in the number of sales), I would be surprised if the prices this year drop instead of leveling off. WHY? Because the inflation, namely in building materials: Lumber prices pushed the cost of building a home higher — a lot higher. Canadian Home Builders’ Association (CHBA) data shows members saw lumber costs soar. In fact, more than half of builders said lumber costs increased at least $30,000 per dwelling in Q2 2021. Even though lumber prices have since crashed, don’t expect cheaper housing. Not in the near term, anyway.

There are not many towns like Canmore. As far as alpine skiing, there are only two world-class ski areas in Canada, the Whistler area and Alberta Rockies with multiple ski resorts. Compared to other comparables, Canmore is still behind as far as prices. Some locals are desperately trying to believe that they are still living in a cute little old town and did not embrace the fact that they are living in one of the best ski resort towns in the world. I am stressing the winter destination because there are many great BC and Ontario summer destinations to compete with.  It is my humble opinion that even if Canada is heading into a correction, the correction will be very asymmetrical, with Canmore getting a few scratches but coming out even stronger when the dust settles. IF there is any dust coming our way. So far it looks it is mostly just a cloud of smoke.

BUT, there is always BUT. I also believe that there will eventually be a reconning as far as printing the money and controling the bond market. What you should realize is that we are now NOT IN MARKET ECONOMY. Governments are controling the "market", and they can only dream about controling it for ever. And that is why, even with corrections, the real assets will win.

I suggest you read  Mark J. Grant chief strategist about what is going on at the government level in the USA. https://seekingalpha.com/article/4447064-taming-of-the-shrewd

Obviously with those who will have some dry powder to benefit from  corrections or even crashes. Those who will have enough money to survive raise in interest rates will be happy in a long run.

Those who will have extra dry powder to buy at that time, will be the ultimate winners. As always. Enjoy the ride!

Freeman Reaches 3 Times, Scores In Dodgers Debut, Beats Rox

Freddie Freeman reached base three times and scored a run in his Dodgers debut, helping Walker Buehler and Los Angeles beat the Colorado Rockies 5-3 in a season opener.

Freeman struck out in his first at-bat. He was then hit by a pitch, walked and lined a sharp single before taking a called third strike in the eighth. The first baseman and 2020 NL MVP signed a six-year, $162 million deal with Los Angeles after leading the Atlanta Braves to a World Series championship last season.

Colorado’s big offseason acquisition, Kris Bryant, had a double and a walk but struck out against Craig Kimbrel with a runner on to end the game. Bryant agreed to a seven-year, $182 million to be a big bat in the top of the order.

For a large portion of us, our acquaintance that is first with originated from our secondary school driver’s education courses – those week after week classes instructed in stuffy classrooms where the perils of the street were bored into our psyches. Notwithstanding, for some individuals, these projects are just the start – the main venturing stone towards turning into a driver that is authorized. Truth be told, there are numerous other driver’s education programs accessible, including those that show protective driving, programs for rehash activity guilty parties and some more.

Be that as it may, here’s a believed that is calming a large portion of the drivers out and about in the United States today have experienced a driver’s education program. What’s more, still, there are terrible drivers out and about and auto collisions consistently. Does that imply that we require better driver’s education? Not so much. Indeed, the given data contained in one driver’s education course is basically the same as the data contained in each other driver’s education course. So if the data is the same from course to course and it doesn’t stop mishaps or drivers that are awful happening, what great is driver’s education?

Three words – bring down protection ‘s right; the lion’s share of individuals who take grown-up driver’s education courses do as such in light of the fact that it brings down their protection premiums. There is the expectation, obviously, that the given data contained in these projects will convert into more proficient and more secure drivers. Also, maybe it should. In any case, the thing that is genuine need to recall is that protected driving requires more than information – it requires involvement and judgment, and those are two things that you can’t surge. It makes sense to get the information you require from a driver’s education program, however is anything but a panacea for awful driving.

So how might you discover a drivers that are great program? Call your auto protection office. Discover what sort of advantage they give for drivers who have finished driver that is particular education programs. In the event that your insurance agency doesn’t give a lessening for some justifiable reason, discover another insurance agency – one that really thinks about security. You’ll likely find that the more drivers that are youthful have on your strategy, the more prominent the advantage from taking these courses.

Also, ask them they prescribe and discover what sort of documentation they require to demonstrate fruitful finish of the program in the event that they have a rundown of affirmed programs. At that point join, finish the planned program, turn in your documentation and watch your premiums inch down a bit. Clearly, you ought to pick a booked program that really includes have an educator in the auto with you and not only one that comprises of watching recordings and perusing, despite the fact that that kind of direction has its place.

At that point the driver’s education program offered at their school ought to be on the rundown you get from your insurance agency on the off chance that you have a youngster in government funded school that is of driving age. You should discover why in the event that it isn’t. All things considered, your duty dollars will bolster that school and driver’s education programs make an interpretation of straightforwardly into certifiable aptitudes that your tyke ought to get at school.

Japanese Elections After Shinzo Abe

Gurjit Singh Tue, 12 Jul 2022   |  Reading Time: 4 minutes

The triennial elections to the upper House of Councilors of the Japanese Diet were held on Sunday, 10 July in the shadow of the assassination of former PM Shinzo Abe. With his assassination, the nature of Japanese politics is likely to change. Prior to the assassination, the election was seen as a referendum on Kishida’s administration. Taking over amid the impact of the COVID pandemic he was facing headwinds due to the Ukraine crisis. This caused energy and food prices to rise, and Japanese inflation rose to a 7-year high.

The main subjects of this election were the rising prices and inflation; what the government could do more for old age pensions and health care; The redirection of Japanese energies towards a new defence posture and a new national security strategy. And finally, would the government be in a position to amend the Constitution, particularly Article Nine to give legal basis to the self defence forces and possibly align them for a first strike capability which is so far prohibited by the Constitution?

With the assassination of Abe on 8 July, the elections became more somber, and an underlying sympathy vote impacted the turnout at the elections and the voter behaviour. Voting was now over 50%, 3% higher than the last such election.

The House of Councilors is the lesser house, though called the upper house. It has had 245 members, but the number now has been increased to 248. In 2016 the voting age was reduced to 18 to bring in younger people into the political mainstream. With the addition of three seats, now every three years, 124 seats are up for election. 50 are awarded through proportional representation, which is how many of the smaller parties find a place in the upper house. 74 seats are directly elected by voters in single or multi party constituencies. The LDP already held 70 seats in those who were not retiring for another three years since each MP has a six-year term here. To get a majority it needed another 55 seats. For an absolute majority it needed 165 seats. The two thirds majority is important so that the Constitution can be amended, as LDP and its allies already have a majority of that nature in the lower house of the Diet. While the LDP did not expect to win an absolute majority on its own, its ally the Komeito and opposition parties with the same preferences have attained that majority.

The LDP increased its seats from 55 to 63; Komeito from 6 to 13 giving them 76 now. The pro amendment numbers in this election reached 179 and with 84 already in the House, they are across the 165 figures for a majority to amend the constitution.

The Japan innovation party is supportive of an amendment and increased its seats to 21, but other opposition parties face oblivion except for the proportional representation. Therefore, the final tally leads to a firm majority of two thirds, which should facilitate Kishida’s leadership to amend the Constitution which is what Abe always sought. It will strengthen the determination for a revised National Security Strategy, likely to be announced by the end of 2022. Japanese defence expenditure will thence rise to about 2% of GDP.

Kishida is now free from a national election for the next three years when the next lower house election is due, in 2025.  Kishida will seek reelection as president of the Liberal Democratic Party next year, but that is not considered a challenge. He is likely to win that for a further two years and can be expected to lead the LDP up to the elections in 2025.

The younger people of Japan are becoming disinterested in politics and people between 18 and 30 are among the least interested. It is the older people who still are interested in politics and participated in opinion polls, giving them a view which according to social media posts, do not convey the correct impression of Japan’s voting age population. However, if the voters do not come out to vote and exercise their franchise, how will social media commentary be converted into a political statement?

The political parties need to do more to bring in the youth of Japan into politics. A greater use of social media is important. In Japan change takes place incrementally.  This year for the first time, women candidates were about 30%. In the last house they held 28 seats but now won 35 seats. This is unprecedented.

Kishida is now firmly in the seat as PM. He has the freedom to develop his ‘new capitalism’ economic policies and try and pull Japan out of inflationary pressures and bring a better life to the people. The pressures of ageing population mean more has to be spent on pensions and health care. The anticipated committed larger defence spending, means the economy must increase to be able to do all this.

The challenge of China in the East Asia Sea and in the Indo-Pacific is now complicated by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Russia firmly stands behind China and is not pursuing a solution to the Northern Territories which Abe initiated with Putin. The China- Russia axis is a big challenge to Japan. Chinese threats to Taiwan also challenge Japan due to its treaty with the US to help defend Taiwan if the occasion arises.

There is a requirement of Japan investing more in its own defence industry and not only importing from the US. If the defence expenditure is increased to 2% of GDP, which this election seems to certify, then Japan must develop its domestic industry, which will create jobs and bring greater economic benefits.

Significantly, the demise of Abe removes the most powerful party leader within the ruling LDP. Not only did he command the strongest Hosoda faction of 87, but he had enough foresight to actually support Kishida from a rival faction to become the president of the LDP and consequently the PM in 2021. Abe was a political colossus as the longest serving Prime Minister of Japan, who had time to implement a larger economic and strategic vision.

Faction leaders now see a vacuum in the LDP. What alliances Kishida will make remain to be seen. He is strong because he led the party to victory in the Lower House and now the Upper House elections. Traditionally, Japanese factions in the LDP are run by ‘shadow shoguns’, who command networks of MPs and party leaders from the regions. Kishida needs to take over that mantle of Abe or find people who will take that role and share the leadership so that he can implement Abe’s vision. His party and cabinet reshuffle will manifest this approach.

WandaVision: Who was Monica Rambeau’s mom?

Monica Rambeau was officially introduced in WandaVision Episode 4. Who is she and who is her mom? There’s a connection to the MCU.

WandaVision Episode 4 quickly made it clear that the series is set in the MCU. Kat Dennings showed up, reprising her role of Darcy Lewis. Her task was to help figure out what had happened to Monica Rambeau, the agent who ended up in Wanda’s world as Geraldine.

Well, it turns out Monica is also a direct connection to the MCU. You’ll be forgiven if you initially overlooked it. It all links to her mom and a storyline that took place in the 1990s in the MCU.

Monica Rambeau was in Captain Marvel

Think back to Captain Marvel ($)and the woman who helps Carol Danvers. Maria Rambeau was the woman who refused to believe that her best friend had died, and she jumped into action (although initially reluctantly) to save Danvers and the planet.

Maria wasn’t alone, though. She had a daughter, Monica.

Monica Rambeau in WandaVision is the grownup version of the little girl from Captain Marvel. And yes, it’s possible considering the movie was set in the 1990s and WandaVision is post snap.

Funko Pop! Marvel: WandaVision – Halloween Wanda Vinyl Figure ($)

WandaVision Episode 4 makes it clear when the story takes place

If you’ve been wondering when in the timeline this story takes place, the fourth episode also helped us figure that out.

Monica was one of those snapped out of existence. In the beginning moments of the episode, she returns from the snap along with many others. The hospital is in chaos as everyone figures out what is going on, but for Monica, it’s all about finding out what happened to her mom.

Marie has died. She died during the five-year period of the snap from cancer, three years after Monica disappeared.

It was devastating for Monica to learn, but even worse learning that it had been five years since her own surgery—the reason she was in the hospital in the first place.

So, Carol Danvers won’t get to see her friend again, but there is a chance we’ll see Monica reappear in another Captain Marvel movie.

One thing is clear: The story takes place in 2023.

Did you spot the connection to the MCU? What did you spot on WandaVision that others haven’t just yet? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

WASHINGTON, D.C.— In response to the release of Q1 giving data from the Fundraising Effectiveness Project (FEP), the Charitable Giving Coalition (CGC) released the following statement:

The Fundraising Effectiveness Project’s (FEP) 2021 first quarter report, which shows an increase in giving and donors in the first three months of this year, is welcome news to the Charitable Giving Coalition. The report estimates a 6 percent increase in overall charitable giving and a 10 percent increase in the number of donors compared to the first quarter of 2020, which saw a decline in both giving and donors.

The new data indicates an increase in small-dollar gifts with an estimated 9.7 percent increase in donations coming from donors giving $100 or less and an estimated 4.4 percent increase in donations coming from donors giving between $101 and $500.

The increase in gifts coming from small donors is encouraging, especially following the enactment of the $300 universal charitable deduction (UCD) in March 2020. In December 2020, the UCD was extended through 2021 and, for married couples, doubled to $600. Last year was the first time in more than three decades that all taxpayers who gave – both itemizers and nonitemizers – were eligible to receive at least some tax deduction, a step toward democratizing charitable giving and encouraging more participation in civil society.

While we’re encouraged by this increase, charities and faith-based organizations are still not out of the woods. They will continue to require support as they provide necessary services to their communities through the recovery.

To continue to incentivize more giving beyond this year, Congress can increase the cap on and extend the availability of the universal charitable deduction. The Charitable Giving Coalition is working with lawmakers in both the House and Senate to advance the Universal Giving Pandemic Response and Recovery Act (S. 618, H.R. 1704).

The Charitable Giving Coalition
Representing private and community foundations, their grantees and independent charities, the Charitable Giving Coalition’s members include United Way Worldwide, the Salvation Army, Catholic Charities USA, the American Council on Education, Jewish Federations of North America, the American Institute for Cancer Research, the Association of Fundraising Professionals, Independent Sector, the Council on Foundations, and United Philanthropy Forum, among others. Formed in 2009, the coalition is dedicated to preserving the charitable giving incentive that ensures that our nation’s charities receive the funds necessary to fulfill their essential philanthropic missions. The coalition provides a unique and unified voice on Capitol Hill on issues affecting the charitable deduction, a voice composed of both direct lobbying and robust grassroots advocacy. www.charitablegivingcoalition.org@CGC_DC
